April 2019 Empties

As we welcome the month of May, I will show you what I finished and decluttered in April.

My basket looks quite full, but I'm sure you know by now, there's mostly decluttered products in there.


Sukin Facial Moisturiser- This is a simple cream, it's decent, but I no longer find it moisturising enough. I won't be buying again.

Moreish Cream Cleanser- My fave cream cleanser that not only cleanses my skin, but leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. I am sad that I have only 2 of these cleansers left. I love them but they are no longer available.


Skinn Hydro-Vital Mask- This mask is like a gel to apply. It goes on nicely and feels cooling on the skin. My issue with it, however, is that it is hard to remove. The product is quite thick and it just sticks to the skin and face washer which is hard to clean between swipes on the face. I didn't see any great difference in my skin to warrant bothering with this mask again.

Ciencia8 Lip Correct- I really enjoyed using this serum, even the delivery is fun. You push up the bottom of the cylinder slightly, then use the roller-ball to apply product on and around the lips. I noticed a subtle reduction in the bar code lines around my top lip, plus it was very hydrating. I would consider buying this product, but it is quite pricey, so we'll see.

Simple Toner- I love this toner. I like to use it after I've cleansed my skin and find it a necessary step to prepare my skin for serums and cream/oil. Sure, it is a basic product, but does exactly what I want. I will definitely continue to buy.


I am binning mostly lipsticks, it's so good to be reducing my stash to a more manageable amount for myself.

Did you get through 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...
