Summer 2019 Empties

Image
It's been a while since I've written an empties post on this blog. As you can probably imagine, I've accumulated PILES of empties since my last empties post, so today I want to talk about the products I've used up over the summer and if I'm planning to repurchase them. Let's dive into it! (I also chatted about these empties on my YouTube channel, so check out that video if you want !) Citrus Brush Cleaner by Sephora - I've had this in my collection for a while, and, to be honest, I sort of forgot I had it. Obviously, it's a spray brush cleaner from the Sephora collection. It's a pretty decent cleanser, and it makes your brushes smell amazing, but I don't think I'll be repurchasing it; Ecotools makes a much better brush shampoo that's cheaper. Fix + by MAC - I go through Fix + like it's water, which is a problem because it's very expensive water ($27 a bottle, cough, cough). However, it really is a fantastic setting spr...

New to My Collection: Spring and Summer 2019

Image
Guys, I've been shopping A LOT lately. It seems like there have been so many good sales and deals lately, way too good to pass up. So, I thought I'd put together a new to my collection blog; I haven't done one of these in a while, so I thought I'd share some of the products I picked up recently. Peppermint Twist Goat Milk Lip Balm by Dionis - I wear lip balm everyday, and my favorite brand of lip balm is Dionis. It's cheap, and the formula is very creamy and moisturizing. Plus, the brand makes great scents. I ran out of the Dionis lip balm that I was using, so I picked up this balm in their peppermint scent. It's very refreshing, and, more importantly, very moisturizing. I highly recommend it. Ceramide Herbal Eye Cream by Mario Badescu - My favorite eye cream is Clinique's All About Eyes. Unfortunately, however, it's quite expensive, so I'm looking for a cheaper alternative. So, I decided to pick up the Ceramide Herbal Eye Cream by Mario Bad...

Spring Empties

Image
It has been a MINUTE since I did an empties blog. So, as you can imagine, I have a small mountain of empties to share with you. So, grab a snack and settle in because this is gonna be a long one. I know it's technically summer now (although our weather is not super summer-y at the moment), but I'm going to call this Spring empties because I used up most of these things during the spring. So, let's dive in! Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly by MAC - MAC's Paint Pots are the only eyeshadow primers I use. I've used up a couple of these paint pots over the past few years, and they're far and away the best eyeshadow primers I've ever used. They give the eyeshadow a really good base to stick too, and they're very opaque, so they cover any texture or discoloration in your eyelids. It's a bit like using a concealer as an eye primer, but concealers always crease when I use them as eye primers, and the paint pot never creases on me. I already have a new ...
