April Empties

Today I have some trash to show you! That's certainly a charming way to introduce a blog post. But, hey we all know that crazily another month has passed us by, and I am here to show you the products that I finished in April.


Another month, another handful of products.
Skinn AM Cleanser- I finally finished off the last of these gel cleansers, I had been buying back ups and there were quite a few in my skincare stash. I made the process of finishing this product quicker by also using it to clean my makeup sponges.
Repurchase? I enjoyed this Skinn cleanser, but am switching to only using creamy cleansers.

 Skinn PM Cleanser- A lovely creamy cleanser that doubles as a deep cleansing mask.
Repurchase? At this stage I still have 2 more that I am happy to use.

 Acure Day Cream- I bought this day moisturiser from iHerb. Packed with goodies and none of the nasties, I had to try it.
Repurchase? It's a lovely moisturiser that I will be sure to replace when in need of another.

 Re EGF Repair Serum- I bought this serum from Catch of the Day. I had never heard of the brand, let alone the product, but a great deal and decent ingredients list encouraged my purchase.
Repurchase? No need, I have a back up that I am happy to use.

 NIOD Myrrh Clay Mask- I bought this mask during the Black Friday Sales. It is unlike the clay masks I have used in the past. It is thick, but easier to work with.
Repurchase? I enjoyed how it deep cleansed my skin and left it feeling soft. I would consider buying again in future.

YBF Perfect Prep Face Primer- I bought this mini face primer as part of a YBF pack on TVSN. It has a silicone feel and allows makeup to smooth over well. It blurred fine lines and pores.
Repurchase? I think it's a nice product, but can get more easily accessible primers that perform just as well.

Models Prefer Argan Infusion Liquid Concealer- A creamy concealer that I used to highlight and conceal my under eye area.
Repurchase? I currently don't need a concealer, but the Models Prefer Liquid Concealer is one that I enjoyed using and would buy again.

MBA Cosmetics Lipstick sample in Drama Queen- A creamy lipstick that not only feels comfortable on the lips but also is nicely pigmented.
Repurchase? Although I enjoyed the sample, I have other lipsticks that are this pink shade and I don't feel the need for a full size.

Dermal Therapy Hand Balm- I finished this travel sized hand cream. It is a thick moisturiser that absorbs quickly, yet keeps hand hydrated for hours.
Repurchase? When in need, I will replace this hand cream.

There are 2 products unfinished that I am removing from my stash. The Mirenesse Cougar Mascara is quite a nice product, but I'd had it for too long and it had dried up. I am saying goodbye to the Makeup Revolution liquid eye liner because I just don't like it. The formula isn't bad, although I'd prefer a matte finish. It's the applicator that I don't like, it has a plastic tip, which I found harsh to apply. I didn't pay much for this product, so am not bothered by throwing it away.

Well, that's it for my April Empties. How did you go? Did you use many products in April?

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...
