Empties #6 (Foundations & Concealers)




Hello my beauties, 

Today I have another empties! If you read my Goals & Resolutions 2017 on my Lifestyle Blog, (If you missed it you can click on the link here - Goals & Resolutions 2017 It will open into another window) then you will know that one of my resolutions is to incorporate minimalism into my life. To do this I am in the process of going through everything I own and deciding what I love & want to keep in my life. This means I have empties that I need to share with you before I can rid of them! 

I also mentioned in Blogmas #5 || Empties (You can click on the link to check it out if you missed it) that my last Empties post was in march so I have a box of stuff which I has just been growing & growing in the past year! I've decided to break them up into categories as, yes, I have that much to get through. Again this will be a long post, grab a cuppa & make yourself comfy!! 

Here go! Lets get started! 

Loreal True Match Foundation

Ok you probably heard me bang on about this foundation enough already. Its my holy grail, I have one on the go at the moment & I have a back up... I may have a problem haha!




Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation

This is another fave of mine. I actually didn't know until I went through my empties bin that I had 3 of them! I do really like this foundation though & would repurchase it!



Revlon ColourStay Foundation

This one actually featured in a favourites post for November 2014!! If you would like a throwback then you can check it out here & all the reasons I like it - November Favourites 2014  I don't prefer it to the Loreal True Match or The Rimmel Match Perfection but I would repurchase this product again. 




Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin Foundation

This Foundation, along with Loreal True Match & Rimmel Match Perfection were all featured in a Current Top 5 Drugstore / Highstreet Foundations in July 2014! Click here if you want to read a full review on why I like them all - Current Top 5 Drugstore/Highstreet Foundations - July 2014 My feelings have not changed on any of them!!






Me Me Me - Flawless Cream Foundation

In hind-sight I probably didn't give this product a fair test. I've had it for the longest time... probably even before I started blogging & the colour of it was much too dark for me so I just never reached for it. Now it is well out of date. Would I repurchase it again? I don't think so. I mean the couple of times I used it I liked it. Maybe if I could get it in my colour I would give it another go but I'm not pushed. If any of you use this can you please let me know your thoughts in the comments below!





Maxfactor Pan Stik

Ah this is a nostalgia product for me! I think it was probably the first foundation I ever owned or wore (Not this particular tube obviously) Even the smell of this takes me back. I actually hate throwing this away, more of a sentimental value more than anything else but to be honest this is out of date now & even if it wasn't it just doesn't agree with my skin anymore. My skin is way too dry for this product & this product just seems to highlight my dryness & make it worse. Sorry my old friend but you gots to go! Maybe this year I will try a new maxfactor foundation. One that will work with my skin but still have that nostalgic smell!! Let me know your foundation recommendations from this brand down below! 


Essence Stay All Day 16H Concealer

Can you tell I like this product. This product has been featured many times on this blog between favourites & other empties posts. I have been using this product for about 2 years now & I have nothing bad to say about it. It works really well with my skin & highlights well under the eyes. I will say I do not have a huge problem with creasing under the eyes in general but I have never had a problem with this product. This product reminds me a lot of the Collection Perfection Concealer, another firm favourite of mine! I have empties in both the old & the new packaging & I'm currently working my way through a new one at the moment.



Essence Stay Natural Concealer

This is one I would not repurchase again. I thought it was going to be like the Loreal Paris Magique Lumi Concealer or the Maybelline Lumi Concealer but its not at all. Its too dark to highlight for me and the consistancy just isn't the same.




Seventeen Phwoarr Paint

I really liked this product!! I think its great for concealing dark circles!! I'm pretty sure this featured in a favourites post or a current makeup routine post at some stage. This is a product I'm sad to see the back of. I will be repurchasing this at some stage!




NYX HD Concealer

I hauled this about 2 years ago in my first ever NYX haul! I remember being so excited by seeing a NYX stand in Ireland.. roll on 2 years later and we are now lucky enough to have them in almost every town or city! I really liked this concealer. I have heard that it is supposed to be comparable to the NAKED concealers but I have yet to try them! Still though this is a product I would repurchase.


Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

As I have mentioned above, a firm favourite that I will always repurchase! 






There you have it, Concealers & foundations all cleaned out. Let me know in the comments if you have tried any of these & what were your thoughts. Also let me know if you have any recommendations for new foundations or concealers for me to try out!!

Empties!! #4



Hey Guys!

Okay so its been a minute since Ive done an empties post! For anyone who has never seen one of theses posts Its basically where I keep all the empty packaging of products I have used up & tell you all about the product & whether I liked it or not! I will link my previous 3 empties below if you would like to see more. One of them is in video form! 


As I am on the move soon #sad #excited #dontknowwhatIamfeeling I could think of no better time than to do an empties post! Especially since it means I dont have to take it all with me!!

So here are the products I have used up recently!

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

The first time I picked this bad boy up was about 2 years ago & since then I have never been without it! This one here is a mini bottle which is perfect for travel! To be honest there should be many more but I must have thrown them out! I am currently making my way through one of the larger 400ml bottles! I absolutely love this stuff (For my full review on this product you can just click - Review - Garnier Micellar Water! )    






P.S. Love This... Makeup Brush Clenser

I love this brush cleanser for on the spot brush cleaning! I have gone through about 3 bottles of this now I believe. It is both a cleaner & a disinfectant which is hard to find at this price! At E2.50 a bargin it is an absolute bargin & I recommend anyone who enjoys makeup or is a makeup brush hoarder but hates the thought of cleaning them (Like me!) to pick this up! You will not regret it!!  






Loreal Infallible 24H Stay Fresh Foundation

I did really like this foundation. Good coverage & staying power! (To see more on this foundation & the Loreal True Match Foundation (old formula) You can just click here to see post & watch my Youtube Video -  Post - Current Top 5 Highstreet/Drugstore Foundations - Youtube Video)







Loreal True Match Foundation (new formula)

Anyone who has been reading my blog for a while now (Thank you) or seen any of my Youtube Videos (Beauty La Linda - Youtube I will be starting up & making videos again! Planned for April! Keep posted for that!) then you will know that for the longest time now my holy grail (& I dont use that term lightly) foundation has been the Loreal True Match! This is the new formula & I have already gone through 4 bottles of it (can you tell I like it?) I was so worried when I heard that it had been re-formulated as I was such a lover of the old formula. However somehow they managed to make it better!! Go Loreal! It is super blendable, I love the texture of it! I love the colour range, the staying power is amazing! Seriously! If you havent tried it already you need to get your ass to a boots / Drugstore / Highstreet Store whatever... & pick one up! Now!






Loreal True Match Foundation (old formula)

Again I loved this at the time but it has since been discontinued!






Mitchum Advanced Control Stick deodrant

Okay so this is a #Youtubemademedoit moment! I have seen this deodrant all over youtube the past few months so when I needed a new one I thought "why not try it out for myself" I really like it! I dont think I would rave that much about it to be honest.... Its deodorant...   but it does the job well, I like the smell so I will be picking it up again!







Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer

This has been in a previous empties & for good reason! I love this little product! It does exactly what it says on the tin so to speak! It is very appropriately named! It wakes you up! Well it makes you look wake anyway & thats what we looking for isnt it? Something that helps us to fool the world into thinking we are well rested people! Love this & Recommend anyone on the hunt for a new under eye brightening, highlighting concealer to give it a go!





      

Essence Long Lasting Lipstick - Nude Love

I have raved about this lipstick more than once here on my blog & also my channel on Youtube. Its appeared in many a favourites post & lets be real.. Ive got to love it if I actually manage to use up a whole tube of lipstick! I mean how often does that happen? If you would like to read a full review of it you can do so by clicking here - The Perfect Nude!? Review - Essence Long Lasting Lipstick - Nude Love  I already have back ups as you can see in the photo!







Lacura Aqua Complete - Multi-Intensive Serum

This is a serum Ive mention once before in my Beauty Hangover Survival Kit Part #1 (You can check it out but clicking here - Beauty Hangover Survival Kit Part #1 (Skincare)) I really enjoyed this serum & have a full review coming on Friday! So keep posted for that!!






Thats all! Those are all the products that I have used up lately. It was kind of a favourites post too really as many of these are my go to products!! 


Have you tried any of these products!? What did you think!?
Have you any recommendations for any products I should try out??
