Lots of empties to cover today! Let the summary reviews begin!
it Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Color Correcting Full Coverage Cream in Light - Another full size and a mini are done! Already repurchased. This helps cover my redness and the SPF is handy.
Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Conditioner - Apparently, I went through a lot of conditioner the last few months. I finished two full sized tubes and a travel sized one. The best conditioner I have found for my hair. Already repurchased.
Colorpop Super Shock Shadow in Tea Party - This is not an empty per se. What is left is all dry and crumbly - can't be used. This was a lovely colour but it was a dry product from the get go and it flaked a lot. I have other colours but this was my most used one.
KVD Beauty Tattoo Liner Waterproof Liquid Liner in Trooper Black - This is my second to favourite black liquid liner ever behind Stila's version. I also have it in the colour Mad Max Brown and it is equally wonderful. Would repurchase for sure. This was a travel sized pen. I had two of these going at the same time, I finished the other one in my last empties post.
Sol de Janeiro Rio Deo Aluminum-Free Refillable Deodorant Cheirosa '62 - This was a refill that I used up. Already repurchased. I really like this deodorant. It works for me and leaves my skin soft.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask in Mint Choco (Mini) - Really liked this scent. It was a mini from a holiday set last year. Handy for around the house or travel.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask in Peach Iced Tea - Love, love, love this. This is my favourite scent ever. I bought another one soon after this one as it was limited edition. I really hope they bring it back one day.
Drunk Elephant Virgin Marula Luxury Face Oil (travel size) - This is a fantastic product and I have no idea why no one talks about it. I have already repurchased my second full sized bottle. It also mixes great with any serum of your choice and adds lots of moisture and glow to your skin.
Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive (travel size) - This is also a fabulous product that works well with other serums and really gives a decent amount of hydration. I have already repurchased the full sized version and I believe I have gone through at least a couple of these.
Living Proof Perfect Hair Day - Another one done. Already repurchased x2. Great stuff if you are looking for smooth hair with volume.
Shiseido Facial Cotton (x2) - Nothing else compares. I'm sad the price keeps increasing. I try to get it on sale. Already repurchased x2.
Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser (travel size) - Ever since my rosacea got wild, this is one of the only cleaners that doesn't make it angry. I'd love to give my skin a good scrub but can't so for now I use this and try to be content. Very mild, perfect for sensitive or angry skin.
Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Water Foundation in 22N Light Neutral - I actually really liked this foundation but sadly it appears to be discontinued. I have always struggled to find foundation shades from Tarte that worked for me and this colour did. The formula was watery, but the coverage was decent and it gave me a nice glow. It went on smoothly. The packing and dropper were utter crap though, the product went everywhere. Horrible packaging. I would repurchase, but I can't.
Klorane Floral Water Make-Up Remover - Love this. There is no substitute. Will always buy this until it is no longer available.
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream (Refill) - I love this cream. It has been so good to use with my rosacea. My skin loves it. I don't care what anyone says about how expensive it is and that the ingredients are not all that. I have tried lots of other expensive and cheap skin creams and none of them hold a candle to this one. Already repurchased.
Bite Beauty Agave Lip Balm - Like most of my Bite Beauty products that are left (they are all from before the company was sold) I have been hanging on to them for dear life because I know this is all I will ever have of their good stuff. This product I was willing to use up as it wasn't very good. Didn't much for my lips except give them a waxy film. This was nothing like their Lip Mask which was my holy grail. Wouldn't repurchase but couldn't anyway if I wanted to.
Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask (in some berry colour) - So sad this product is gone. I saved the last drop for ages and I recently decided it was time to use it up and throw it out.
Schmidt's Charcoal + Magnesium Mineral Enriched Natural Deodorant - (trash, not an empty) This gave me a wicked rash. At first, I thought it may have been coincedence but I waited awhile, tried again and it was rash city. A friend of mine also bought one of these deodorants and she had the same thing happen to her. No way would I repurchase.
Native Deodorant in Sugar Cookie (mini size) - (trash, not an empty) My friend bought a couple of these minis for me because she really likes this product. I appear to be allergic to it as it gave me a terrible, painful reaction that took weeks to go away. It was awful. It's hard to believe a deordant could cause such havoc in my arm pits.
Clinique Acne Solutions BB Cream - This product was ok. It was a sample size. This one was Light Medium but was a tad too dark for me. It's watery and light weight and I would say light to medium coverage. The coverage could have been a bit better for my liking but I understand it is only a BB cream so I need to temper my expectations. Not sure I would repurhase.
Aveda Invati Advanced Exfoliating Shampoo - This was a mini sized product I got as a free pomo. There wasn't enough product to see if it actually worked so I don't feel I can accurately rate this.
Fenty Beauty Flyliner Longwear Liquid Eyeliner in Cuz I'm Black - I got this awhile back in a Sephora Favourites set and didn't open it for ages. It was a travel/mini size. I was pleasantly surprised by this eyeliner. I would argue it is my 3rd to faourite liquid eyeliner ever. I would consider repurchasing this. Not sure why no one seems to talk about this product, it's really good!
REN Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream - This was a travel or mini sized tube. I have used this product on and off for years and overall I think this line works well for me especially in the summer months. In winter, it isn't always moisturizing enough. I would recommend this for sensitive skin. Since I have rosacea, I usually need something a bit more catered to that condition unless my skin is in good shape. I would repurchase this and I already have a larger size of this I am using here and there.
Pat McGrath Mini Lust: Gloss in Love Potion - Someone please tell me why there is so much hype with these glosses? I do not enjoy them! I find they wear off easily and they have next to zero pigment. These Pat McGrath glosses can't hold a candle to the ones Fenty, NARS, MAC and GXVE makes. This was part of a set of 3 that I purchased awhile back. I believe I have one left to use and I don't have high hopes. Would not repurchase.
BareMinerals Bareskin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation - I think this product may be discontinued and I am not surprised in the least. This is a horrible watery foundation with precious little coverage. This was a sample that I got a few uses out of it. Would not repurchase even if I could.
Lanolips 101 Ointment Multipurpose Superbalm - If you have dry lips or bits (oops that didn't sound good) look no further than this product. If I had to have a complaint, it would be that the product is too thick and works almost too well! I bought this as a replacement for my Bite Agave Lip Mask that was discontinued. They were not the same product at all, but this sure did work on my dry lips. I have already repurchased this but I really only use it at home as I find it is too much as a base before lip products if I am going out.
Tarte Sea Wink of H2O Vegan Collagen Eye Cream - This was a sample and I did not like it. It was not very moisturizing at did nothing for my dark circles. Would not repurchase.
Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Mascara (travel size) - This was one of my favourite mascaras for ages. It added volume and length and didn't flake or smudge much. I would consider repurchasing this but at the moment I have 3 other mascaras that are working wonders on my lashes.
Clinique High Impact Mascara (travel size) - This is an ok mascara. Better than drug store but not top tier at all. Would not repurchase.
Belif The True Cream - Moisturizing Bomb (sample size) - I cannot stress how badly my face reacted to this product. There must be something in it that I am allergic to. It gave me a wicked breakout/rash. I used the remainder of it on my legs (haha) and had no reaction there. Wouldn't dream of ever purchasing this. I have read online about others having a similar reaction so at least I know it wasn't only me.
Make Up For Ever Ulta HD Foundation in Y252 - I got a sample of this ages ago and I thought initially it looked good. So much so that I bought a full sized one but this colour proved to be too light and too yellow. One thing that drives me mad about MUFE is how almost everything is set up to lean pink or yellow. They have very few neutral shades which is what I and many others need. I decided to buy another bottle in a more pink leaning shade and mix them together. I wish I hadn't. Mixing them did work somewhat, but it was a hassle. The coverage and glow wasn't the same as the sample I once received. I found the foundation very drying on my skin as time went on. I used this mostly for work video calls since no one was seeing it up close. I'm very glad I have finished this bottle now. Would not repurchase.
Origins Plantscription Multi-Powered Youth Serum - I used this product for years and found it worked well. As time has gone on, I need something more high powered now so sadly this was my last bottle. I would recommed this through if you are in your 20s or 30s and are starting to notice the signs of aging.
Origins Plantscription Anti-Aging Power Eye Cream (travel size) - Sadly, this did nothing for me. Wasn't overly moisturizing and didn't budge my dark circles. Will not repurchase.
Biossance Squalane + Peptide Eye Gel - I had to be careful with this product because if I got it too close to my eyes, it stung and burned. I had to make sure it absorbed before I laid down and went to bed or it would creep into my eyes. There wasn't enough product in here to say if it worked or not but I wouldn't buy it again because it was a fussy product in general.
Skinfix Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide Refill Face Cream - I am not sure how many jars of this I have gone through but this is one of the few skin creams that helps my rosacea. Already repurchased.
Skinfix Barrier+ Foaming Oil Cleanser - This product was ok. Nothing to get excited about. It worked well when my rosacea was out of control as a calmer but other than that, it did little else. There are other cleansers on the market that work just as well for less money like CeraVe.
Skinfix Barrier+ Triple Lipid + Collagen Activating Serum - Love this serum. It's excellent for rosacea. Already repurchased x 2. Don't wish to be withhout it. The refill is a much better deal.
So that's it! I already have several empties for the month of December so I may do one more empties post this month.
