September Empties

I was so happy that with September the weather would warm up because it meant the arrival of Spring. Nope, didn't really happen where I live, hopefully with October I will see more sunshine! Oh, and of course with a new month it means I get to show you the products I finished.

Just a handful of products, really, but I'll quickly run through each item with you.

Sunsense Sensitive Invisible 50+ Sunscreen- This sunscreen being zinc based is a physical sunscreen. Thankfully, it isn't a thick product and doesn't give the skin an unwanted white cast like so many often do. 
Repurchase? I will repurchase this sunscreen. It has a high SPF rating, something that is very important here in Australia, plus I find it works well as a primer under my foundation. 

It's Skin Power 10 Formula WH Effector- A light weight serum that is targeted towards those wanting a more even skintone.
Repurchase? I liked how light the formula is and how quickly it is absorbed into the skin, but after using a full bottle, I didn't notice much of an improvement in the pigmentation of my skin. I won't be repurchaing.

Simple Cleansing Oil- I use this oil to remove makeup. It's not a heavy oil, so not only does it remove makeup, but it is easy to remove from my skin also.
Repurchase? I love this budget friendly cleansing oil and have 3 back-ups, so it's safe to say that I will be buying again.

Cuticle Revitalizer Oil- I bought a bunch of these cuticle oils from eBay. They are labeled as OPI, but I doubt that they are. The oil comes in a tube, with a brush at one end and the other end twists to deliver oil into the brush. You simply then apply to the cuticles and massage.
Repurchase? Yes! These are so convenient! I carry one in my hand bag and in my car, so when I'm out and about and have some time to spare, like in the car waiting for the kids to finish school, I can treat my cuticles.


Models Prefer Foundation- A decent medium coverage foundation that gives a satin foundation.
Repurchase? I liked it, but it wasn't love, plus there's always another foundation that I want to try.

LA Girl Endless Eye Liner- Being retractable was the only redeeming feature of this eye liner.
Repurchase? Definitely not.

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bold Gold- It felt good to finish another Color Tatto. I've had them for some time and am glad to be getting some use out of the ones I have before they dry out.
Repurchase? I love Color Tattoos, but I don't feel the need for this particular gold shade.


Now for the products that I am decluttering.

Ulta3 Nail Polish in Mojito- This green polish is getting too thick to use. I've had it for years and don't feel the need to revive it with thinner.
Repurchase? I think the only polish shade that I'd buy again is black and white. I'm always lusting after new and different polishes.

 Skinn Volume Explosion Mascara- I'd had this mascara for a very long time. Once I opened it, I found that it was beginning to dry out. I persevered with it a few times, but it was just making my lashes clumpy.
Repurchase? Because I took too long to use this mascara, I'm not sure how it performs new. However, in saying that, I don't feel the need to seek this one out to buy.

 Another month, another empties post done! xx

    Still loving the Ego Sunsense Sensitive Invisible Sunscreen! It doesn't let me down (except of course when I forget to re-apply).

    I'm about to finish my Simple Oil as well. I want to try the Burts Bees oil and see if I like it.

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...
