August Empties

Start of a new month, time to show you what I used up during the one just gone, August.
As you can see, not a great deal...

Katy Perry "Meow"- I'm not upset to see this alien cat go. It was a nice perfume, but I didn't love it. Repurchase? No, I'm glad to not have this cat stare at me from my dresser.

Skinn Eye Mask- The under eye area is so delicate, it's nice to be able to treat, nourish and hydrate the area. This mask did all that while providing a lovely soothing cooling effect.
Repurchase? I already have a back-up.

Lumiere "Wild Rose" Blush- This sample baggie of blush lasted for many uses. Being a dusty pink colour, I found that it gave a lovely rosy flush to my cheeks.
Repurchase? Lumiere no longer operates, however as nice as the blush was, it's not a unique colour. I know I'd have one similar in my collection.

Thierry Mugler "Angel Innocent"- I really like the original "Angel", as the name Innocent would suggest, this one is a lighter version.
Repurchase? I didn't love this sample enough to warrant a full size purchase. 

Halle Berry "Pure Orchid"- This celebrity fragrance is perfect for spring. It has floral and fruity notes and smells lovely.
Repurchase? I would actually buy a full sized bottle of this perfume if it offered better silage and lasted longer on me.
 Some unfinished items that have to go because they are unfortunately no longer quite right.
One of my goals is to finish more perfumes, so I'm glad that I am on my way to reducing my collection of full sized bottles of perfume to 5.

 What's something in your beauty collection that you could do with less of?

    I always love reading empties posts!

    Currently I have a bit of a back log of half empty shampoo bottles that I am working my way through.

    Lol Indie thanks for the staring cat giggle - I've only ever tried Katy's ones in the pointy bottles, which annoy me 'cos they won't stand up, love what's in them though. I need to cull my single eye shadows - I have so many that I just look at when I'm after a particular colour, but I never ever use them so no point keeping them. I need the space! The Skinn mask sounds like a treat my peepers could do with ♡♡♡

      I have Killer Queen, and totally agree, the bottles are a pain! Getting rid of single eye shadows would be difficult, but I understand having so many items that are just not getting use. I'm sure you'll soon fill the space, lol xx

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
