Does anyone ever post "empties" in the form of blog posts? I know not. But they are one of my favorite videos to watch on YouTube, so why not try it out here? If you're unfamiliar with the concept of "empties", I'm basically just going to talk you through a ton of products that I've completely used up. I've been hording empty bottles, tubs and tubes for months, waiting until I had enough to do this post. Finally, I felt it was the right time. You should have seen the basket full of products I had collecting in the cabinet under my sink (I had no where else to put them). Since there were so many, I've narrowed this post down to only the products that I truly loved. These are the products that wowed me enough to not only finish the entire thing, but make me want to re-purchase them in the future.
Enjoy.
Makeup
- Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer
If you've read a ton of my past posts, you will definitely recognize this product. It was featured in my "Makeup For Good-Bad Skin Days" post (THROWBACK MUCH!). It also made the cut for my "Top 5 Drugstore Concealers" post from a few months ago. Needless to say, I'm a fan. This is the perfect concealer for everyone. It's not too sheer, not too full coverage. It's slightly glowing but can still be used on imperfections and it's super affordable. What's not to like?
- Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer
Another Rimmel product from my "Top 5 Drugstore Concealers" post. Can you tell I like Rimmel concealers? The formula of this product is one of the creamiest I've ever used. It also has the perfect amount of coverage and highlighting properties for under the eyes, and on the high points of the face. Love, Love, Love.
- NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer
Is this a throw back or what? I think this product was one of the very first things I ever talked about on my blog. It was also the very first high end concealer I ever bought. I wonder how long ago this particular tube expired... Anyway, no matter how many other concealers I've tried as my love of makeup has grown, this one is constantly in the back of mind. It's creamy, full coverage and super long lasting. Though it is pricey, I totally think it's worth the money. One day I will take a trip down memory lane, and re-purchase this concealer. I'm sure I'll fall in love all over again.
- Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara
What can I say? This is the ultimate mascara. Volume, length and tons of drama makes $30 seem justifiable.
- Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
Much less clumpy than the Too Faced one, instead this mascara is super lengthening. I'm completely obsessed with the fluttery, wispy lashes it gives. This is my second bottle and I've already re purchased a third.
- Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz
This has quickly become a cult product, and I can totally see why. Want quick, easy and beautifully defined brows? This is for you.
Body Care
- Lush Charity Pot
Lush body lotions are #1 in my mind. They're all natural, super moisturizing and extremely luxurious. I love them all, but this one's proceeds go to charity! It's a win win.
- The Body Shop Almond Nail and Hand Cream
This is the perfect hand cream to keep in your hand bag. It's light and sinks in very quickly. I loved the scent and it kept my hands and nails feeling amazing.
- The Body Shop Strawberry Lip Butter
I actually felt sad when I finished this little tub. Who new you could love a lip butter so much? I Would highly recommend all The Body Shop lip products as they are hydrating, healing and smell incredible.
- The Body Shop Moringa Shower Gel and Body Milk
The Moringa scent is my absolute favorite from The Body Shop. It's super girly and full of floral notes. As far as the products themselves, you can't go wrong with Body Shop body wash, and the body milk is perfect for those of us who hate the feeling of putting on sticky body cream after the shower.
Skin Care
- Lush Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser
This has become my new love affair. I'm already stocked with backups! It cleans, hydrates, and exfoliates. I can't imagine using anything else for quite some time.
- Origins Checks and Balances Cleanser
Eventually I will most likely buy this cleanser again. I loved how creamy it was. It didn't dry out my skin but still thoroughly cleaned. It's also fairly budget friendly and gives you a TON on product.
- OleHenriksen Pure Truth Melting Cleanser
This is a wonderful makeup remover. It feels very Nourishing and luxurious on the skin. I would describe this as a princess product, something that isn't necessary, but is a nice treat.
- The Body Shop Vitamin C Moisturizer
This is one of the very few products that I jumped on the band wagon for, right in the heat of all the hype. I even got my sister hooked on this stuff. This is the perfect moisturizer for someone with combination/oily skin as it is not too rich. I love it for the summer time since it adds a nice glow to the skin.
I hope you saw something that caught your eye for your spring shopping! Finally, I can get rid of all these empty containers.
Thanks for reading.
