Empties #1

Tomorrow night is bin night, so I though I'd quickly snap a few things that are saying goodbye to the bathroom. I have used up a pretty good mix of products and it's made me excited to dig up old things and start actually getting through them.

Sorry about the messy photos!

Revlon Colorstay Combo/Oily in 220 Natural Beige

I adore this foundation and always seem to have 100 bottles of it on the go at any given time! I really need to stop doing that though because I find older bottles of it do oxidise on my skin and I can look a tad more orange.

Would I repurchase? As I said I already have too many of these I'm working through, plus an unopened bottle of the new formula. ooooops

Milani Jewel FX in Gold 531

I remember paying way too much in shipping to get this after seeing it on beauty blogs, and while it was worth it ( I adore it layered up as an accent nail) it was super fiddly to work with. Big chunks of glitter that would go anywhere except for where you wanted. It's now dried up and just wont apply anymore so in the bin it goes. It was fun while it lasted.

Would I repurchase? Cheap Australian brands are doing so much fun stuff with glitter I wouldn't bother with the hassle of this again.

Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme Make-up in 220 Nude

Really generous sample that lasted me almost a week when travelling the states. Loved it enough to pick up a few of them over there and dipped into those before finishing this one completely. Great coverage and just super easy to wear.

Would I repurchase? Did :)

Maybelline Falsies Volume Express Waterproof in Very Black

This seems to be one of those things that has the blogging world completely divided. But I thought it was a great mascara. Held my curl and gave me super black dramatic lashes; just how I like 'em.

Would I repurchase? Too big a fan of trying new ones

Clinique High Impact Mascara in 01 Black.

A nice mascara I wasn't blown away with. I liked the formula and the brush mainly for my bottom lashes. Decent little sample though.

Would I repurchase? Not for the price.

RPR Protect My Hair Thermal Defence Spray

This stuff smells amazing! Seriously such a great scent for a heat protector, that I never forget to use it. It's a super fine mist that isn't heavy or greasy on the hair, and contains Keratin to strengthen. I don't have a bad word to say about it. Heat sprays can be pretty boring, but this one really is great. And Aussie made and owned ;)

Would I repurchase? I already have two back-ups

De Lorenzo Nova Fusion Colour Care Shampoo in Silver

Hands down the best purple/silver shampoo I have ever used. Super thick and rich, deep purple shampoo that REALLY does help my brassy orange tones that creep into my blonde. When I need an extra dose of this I massage it on and leave it for 15 minutes before doing a treatment and I end up feeling like I walked out of the hairdressers. No animal testing and Australian made and owned only add to extra brownie points.

Would I repurchase? I've nabbed the huge bottle already ;)

                                                           Nutrametics Face Prime

Standard foundation base that I can't say too much on. It wasn't great, but it wasn't particularly bad. It applies very much like a light moisturiser, but does take a while to sink into the skin. I'm not really sure it did too much to lengthen the wear of my make up either. It was just 'meh'.

Would I repurchase? Nope

Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer in 001

I had never really liked primers before this one. I slapped them on but never really enjoyed using one, it was just one of those boring steps for me. But this was a game changer. This feels like soft suede when you smooth it on your skin, and there's no drying time as it isn't a 'wet' primer. It seems to blur away some of my pores, and they are a huge concern to me so it's a winner. This is the reason I have tried other primers, and for that I'm so thankful.

Would I repurchase? If it was on sale, I just can't bring myself to spend that much.

Nars Make-up Primer with SPF 20

This. The lightest formula that just melts into the skin. It feels ahh-mazing on my face and my foundation sits on top of it really well. This is one primer that I really noticed make my make-up last and last.

Would I repurchase? I need to save some pennies for this one.

The Body Shop Earth Lovers Apricot and Basil Shower Gel with Sponge.

Hearing "Apricot and Basil" I really didn't think I was going to like this one, but its got a really nice fresh fruity smell that doesn't seem artificial. It lathers up nicely and is nasty free with no soap, sulphates, parabens or colourants. Really nice product.

Would I repurchase? By the time I finish any shower gel I'm over the scent, so maybe in the future

Garnier 2 in 1 Gentle Make-Up Remover

This is one of those boring must haves for me. I find make-up wipes stand no chance against my eye make-up so pop a bit of this on and wiper it all away.

Would I repurchase? Already have.

Ed Hardy By Christian Audgier

This perfume was a Birthday present from a while back and it smells incredible. I always find it so hard to throw out perfume because the bottles are so pretty, but it's time to go.

Would I repurchase?  Maybe in the future when I've used up some of my other perfumes.
