Empties #10

It's been such a long time since my last empties post that I've got quite the collection to share, however, a lot of which are regulars to this neck of the woods so I'll keep it short by just linking previous posts on it.

• Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water- post can be found here
• The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Oil- possibly the 4th one I've gone through now and yet I keep buying more! Love it, removes make-up so effortlessly and leaves skin feeling clean, refreshed and moisturised
• Tesco Softening Body Lotion- post can be found here
• Percy & Reed Heat Protecting Mist- it's hard to tell how great these are but I liked it. A nice fine mist, didn't leave my hair weighed down by product and kept my hair in good condition
• No7 Cleansing Lotion- I've been using this on and off for the past 5 or so years and my skin still enjoys it. Soft and gentle and helps clean any make-up off my face and leave it soft and soothed
• Herbal Essences Dry Shampoo- mentioned in this post
• The Body Shop Vitamin Eye Cream- post can be found here
• The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Serum- the fact I've got 2 empty not only shows how much I love this product but also how long it's been since I've done an empties post! Post on this can be found here
• Simple Facial Toner- mentioned in this post
• Garnier Body Repair Anti-Dryness Restoring Lotion- loved this lotion. Really helped keep my skin moisturised during Winter and I believe helped firm my skin. Absorbed quickly into my skin and I just really enjoyed using it

And we've made it to the end!! Well...almost! I have a few make-up products which I've finished using but I think I'll keep that to another post so I can go into more detail with them!

Thanks for reading

Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner

My favourite lip look on me is a matte one. Although I do enjoy the odd gloss during Summer I tend to prefer the long lasting and less stickiness feel of a matte lipstick. With matte lips being my go to I have no idea how I've managed to go all my make-up wearing years without wearing just a lipliner on my lips. It was after watching many of Lucy & Lydia's youtubes and hearing them mention quite often how amazing the Rimmel Exaggerate lip liner in '063 Eastend Snob' that made me want to try it. And my goodness am I glad that I did. 

First, let's talk formula. It is a very soft crayon which just glides onto the lips effortlessly. The tip is on a slant which makes application just that much more easy. It sets fairly quickly and once it has it will not budge for a looong time...I'm talking through food and drink, this bad boy will stick around!

Now let's talk about the shade. The pigmentation is brilliant and is easily build-able to create even more colour. The shade is just perfect. It's a beautiful neutral pink colour which is kinda your lips but better shade. On Lucy and Lydia the shade looks completely different which just shows how adaptable the liner is.

The girls recommend buying two at a time and I couldn't agree more...I will be making sure I never run out of this liner as it's definately my easy go-to lip colour.

They can be found (when they're not sold out!) at Rimmel stands, Boots and Superdrug and are £3.99 (Boots).

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm

For the past month or so I gave been on the hunt for a red lip...not just any red lip but a kind of maroon/deep berry lip colour. I hadn't seen one anywhere but had a shade in my mind that I just wanted. After a few trips to a few different Boots/Superdrug I finally found the shade I'd been looking for. 

It comes from Revlon and is one of their Colorburst Matte Balm Crayons which I've mentioned my love for before, so I knew it'd be good.

The shade is '225 Sultry Sulfureuse' and I just love it, it was exactly the shade I was after. A perfect day lip which adds such a nice colour without being too bold. Like the other shades in the line it is very comfortable to wear and lasts really well on the lips. It only really needs topped if you've not been too careful while eating but can often last through a meal!

I am very happy I found this shade and it has reminded me of my love for lip crayons as they're just so easy to use! I would definitely recommend them to newbies to who want to start wearing more colour on their lips.

Soap & Glory One Heck Of A Blot Powder

Recently I posted about a new primer from Soap & Glory which is brilliant for oily skin types- you can find that post here- and I have also been trying out another product from the same range. Introducing...One Heck Of A Blot Powder.

Just like the primer this is powerful stuff and does't mess about. It is a translucent mattifying powder and mattify it does! You can pack this on and it refuses to look cakey on your skin. It works all day to keep oil at bay while still giving you skin a natural appearance...just a less shiney one! I will be making sure to keep one spare for Summer as once more people try it out it will soon be very hard to come by I imagine.

The packaging ties in with the rest of the quirky Soap & Glory packaging and hosts a very decent sized mirror inside. 

I have been using this now for a couple of months and still don't have a bad word to say about it! Anyone else given this a go?

Thanks for reading
