October Empties

Image
It seemed only mere days ago that I was writing up my first empties post. There's still 31 days in October, right??  I can't believe I finished not 1, but 2 perfumes! To be fair, they were not both only used within the month of October, we all know how long it can take to finish a bottle of perfume. Britney Spears Circus Fantasy and FCUK Summer were reviewed here and here . Repurchase? Although they were both decent fragrances, I don't love them enough to buy them again. Burberry "The Beat" perfume sample- I know it was just a sample, but even finishing a sample I find rewarding, it still feels like an achievement. I love perfume samples, I know you can spritz a tester perfume in a store, but I like to try a perfume a few times before making a decision. Plus, in store, I have to try more than one, and either forget which was sprayed where, or they've blended, and I can't make out the individual scents. Repurchase? Yes, I love this perfume! My ...

Ponds Flawless White BB Cream

Image
When I had discovered that Ponds had released 2 BB creams, my next trip to Priceline I headed straight to the Ponds display. Sadly, the product was only available in light, which was obviously not going to work with my skin tone. It was only a matter of time before a medium option (Beige) was available. I was so happy to get my hands on a tube. My next problem was choosing which range, Flawless White or Age Miracle. Both were appropriate for my skin concerns, but what I hate most is pigmentation, so opted for Flawless White. Containing Spf 15, this product claims to hide blemishes and repair damaged skin. Ingredients have been added to regulate genes that control melanin production and brighten the skin. The screw top tube has a lid that is quite solid and is squared off, which allows you to store it standing up. This means that it doesn't take as much effort to squeeze product out because the cream will be at the opening side of the tube. There is a nozzle under the li...
