April Empties

When it came to finishing beauty products, April wasn't the most abundant of months.

I'll break down for you what I finished.


Andalou Naturals Instant Luminous Face Mask- A single use mask formulated with fruit stem cells, tumeric and French clay to give skin radiance. I was expecting an orange colour, but that was just the packaging, it's actually white. It's a rich mask and not so much like a clay that sets.
Repurchase? The mask was moisturising, I'm not sure I noticed that promised luminious effect, but it hydrated my skin nicely so I would consider trying it again.

ModelCo Hydro-Glow Miracle Mask- This large foil packet has 3 sections that contained foaming cleanser, serum and a sheet mask.
Repurchase? I enjoyed using this skin pamper in a packet and could see that it would be great for travelling as well. I really liked the products and was happy with how hydrated my skin was and how fresh my skin looked after using. I would definitely consider buying this pack in future.

Du'it Foot and Heel Balm- A product for rough, cracked heels. Although a balm it's not too thick and melted into the skin. I found the best results by applying at night and then putting socks on.
Repurchase? I enjoyed using this sample, it was fantastic for my rough heels and I would buy a full size.

Dermalogica Charcoal Rescue Mask- This is a comfortable clay mask that not only deep cleansed my skin, but was hydrating, too.
Repurchase? I really liked the sample I had, but it's a bit pricey for me to buy a full size of.


Nutrimetics Ultra Care Platinum Eye Serum- A light-weight serum that you apply to the eye area using the 3 roller balls at the end of the tube.
Repurchase? This serum just didn't excite me, I also noticed that if I happened to apply a bit much, it balled up under my makeup, not a good look! So, nope.

La Mav Hydra-Calm Cleansing Creme- A gorgeous gentle cream cleanser, yet effective at cleansing the skin.
Repurchase? I loved this cream cleanser, but quite honestly my current much cheaper cream cleanser easily meets my needs. I wouldn't buy a full size.

The Ordinary Buffet Serum- This serum contains peptides to fight against aging. It's light-weight and absorbs quickly. It also seems to play nicely with other products.
Repurchase? Already have, I love this serum! It has been great for my skin, providing hydration and radiance to my face.

Sierra Bees Organic Creme Brulee Lip Balm- This lip balm smelled so good! It's a decent lip balm that I used during the day to prevent my lips from chapping.
Repurchase? I bought this balm as part of a pack from iHerb and still have others left. I would consider buying the pack in future, though.


....and these are the lipsticks and nail polishes that I am decluttering. I am happy to be getting rid of these products that I just don't love.

Thanks for reading xx

    Yesssssss you tried the Andalou face mask I keep raving about! Over time I haven't noticed the luminous effect so much either, but I do like that particular mask because it feels moisturising on my skin. I haven't used it for a while, but I've got one more to finish up at a later stage.

    Ooh Creme Brulee lip balm, yes please! The Ordinary Buffet Serum sounds great. I still haven't tried anything from The Ordinary!

      It's worth taking a chance on The Ordinary products, Di. It can be a little overwhelming with choosing products, but they're so budget friendly and effective!

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

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.
