The Loch Ness Monster Likes Makeup Too

It's been a few months since I've written an empties blog, which means I've accumulated a TON of used up products. So, buckle up because this is going to be a long, long post. Personally, I really like writing and reading/watching empties blogs. I like watching empties videos because it inspires me to use things up, and I like writing them because it gives me a sense of accomplishment. Plus, it's nice to feel like I'm actually getting my money's worth out of all the makeup I buy (and, trust me, I buy a lot of makeup). So, without further ado, let's get into it: Dandelion by Benefit - I use up a blush very seldomly. Obviously, a blush is tough product to use up because you only use a small amount each time you use it. That's why I'm so incredibly proud of myself for using up the Dandelion blush by Benefit. Granted, it was only a travel size, but it was still a pretty big accomplishment in my book. I've been on a no-buy with blush for a long...

So, a few days ago, I published a blog called "Disappointing Products of 2016." Well, I thought that I had gotten all of my disappointment out of my system, but it turns out that I was wrong. A lot of cosmetic products have let me down this year, and you're going to hear about it (I mean, if you're interested or whatever). Fix+ by MAC - I know that this will sound sacrilegious to some people, but I don't love Fix+. In case you don't know, Fix+ is a setting spray by MAC and it's a cult classic. However, for me, it doesn't work very well as a setting spray. When I bought it, I knew that it wouldn't hold my makeup in place as well as Urban Decay's All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray. I understand that Fix+ is designed to give a more dewy, glowing look, rather than just holding your makeup in place. However, it doesn't do that for me. I feel like it doesn't do anything for my makeup. I'm going to use it up because it was fairly expe...

Some people feel bad about criticizing beauty products they didn't like. I am not one of those people. Stay Matte Foundation by Rimmel London - I like to experiment with makeup, especially inexpensive makeup. Recently, I've been on a quest to find a really good drugstore foundation. This is not that foundation. This is an incredibly mediocre foundation. First of all, the coverage is not good. I mean, I suppose that some people prefer light coverage foundations; I'm not one of those people. If I wanted a light coverage foundation, I have my skin. Secondly, it starts to break up and crease around my chin and nose immediately. I'm going to try to use it up because I paid money for it, but I'm not happy about it. Bamboo Finishing Kabuki Brush by EcoTools - A few months ago, I decided that I needed some new face brushes because my kabuki brush was getting really old and shed like crazy. However, I didn't want to spend a ton of money on new brushes so I decid...

I've been wanting to try Milk Makeup forever. I'm really intrigued by the idea of a cosmetic brand that tries to make makeup application quicker and easier. I believe their tagline is "Milk girls do their makeup quick." I mean, I would like to do my makeup quick. I don't think that's going to happen, buti it's nice to dream. So, about a month ago, I decided to treat myself to Milk's Holographic Stick (which is basically a roll-on highlighter) in the shade Supernova (actually, I think that's the only shade it comes in). Gotta be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of this product . I was super excited to try this out because I love purple-toned highlights and this looked like a beautiful purple-toned highlight. True, this highlight is really pretty when you swatch it, but the formula is incredibly mediocre.   The Holographic Stick is a creme highlight,  but it's t he least creamy and least blendable creme highlight that I've ever ...
