Products I've Used Up | Part Two

This is part two of the products I've used up recently (see part one here).

The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Serum - £10.00

This was actually my mum's but she gave it to me and I used the last of it up. I'm not a big fan of serum, I prefer using moisturiser but I liked that it wasn't too heavy on my skin. I don't think I'll repurchase it, as I didn't think it was anything special. I think it would be a lot better for any of you who have normal/dry skin.

Maybelline Colossal Mascara - £7.19 at Boots

I was gutted when this finished, and I'm pretty sure I used every last drop. I love big lashes and this was perfect for during the day. It provided length and volume, but wasn't too 'in your face'. I probably will repurchase this again, but I do love buying new mascara so who knows?

MUA Pressed Powder - £1.00

This is one my favourite make up items and I've already repurchased another. For it's price, it is amazing, and it looks amazing over foundation. I thoroughly recommend this and the whole MUA range.

ELF Blush in Candid Coral - £3.75

I purchased this colour because I heard it was a dupe for Nars Orgasm, however I've never tried it so I can't compare. It was a lovely colour though, and worked really well with my skin tone. I'll definitely repurchase, and probably buy a few others - as they are really good quality.

Feel free to link your 'Empties' posts below. I've also started a mission for myself to use up 50 products before Christmas. It's a big challenge but I'm going to do a blog post on it soon, so if you want to join in feel free.

Pillow Talk FOTD

I thought I'd do a follow-up post on my Pillow Talk lipstick review with a FOTD of me wearing it. It's become my favourite lipstick by far and I love wearing it.

Note: It looks like I've photoshopped this photo but I haven't. All I did was lower the contrast and sharpen. :)

Products used:

Benefit Coralista
Max Factor Smoky Eye Effect eyeshadow in Bronze Haze
No7 Amazing Eyes Pencil in Black

July Favourites

Can you believe we are in August? Time sure is flying! Hopefully we'll have a month of sun. :) I normally try and mention a mixture of beauty products and make up but this month I've sort of been using the same things as last month, and so I'll be focusing on my make up favourites this month.

No7 Concealer Brush - I bought this on a whim when I had a spare £5 voucher and didn't know what else to buy and it would only cost £1 something (I think?) and it turns out to be one of my favourite brushes. It's soft, and applies so well. It makes applying concealer under the eyes much easier and I recommend this to everyone.

Illamasqua Sheer Lipgloss in Explode - I got this in this month's Glossy Box (which I was impressed with!) and I adore this. The colour is perfect - one that I've wanted for a while, and it lasts a long time. Would I pay full price for it? Yes. :)

Maybelline Falsies Mascara - I mentioned another Falsies mascara in my June Favourites and hinted at a new favourite and this is it. It is the same but 'Black Drama' which makes lashes much more dark and much more false looking. I seriously love everything about it, except removing it, as it takes forever.

ELF Lipstick in 'Runway Pink' - This is my favourite lipstick ever. I'd never been a big fan of lipstick but since blogging I've ventured into trying some. I find it hard to find colours that suit me but I think this is ideal. It's a gorgeous light pink.

Naked Palette FOTD

I'm never normally one to post FOTD's but new start and all that. Since getting my Urban Decay Naked Palette, I've had a ridiculous amount of fun playing with it and trying out different things. I just put on whatever I feel and sometimes it looks great, other times not so great. This was Wednesday's FOTD. I didn't really do much, apart from play around with make up (hence the FOTD) and visit my dad who I haven't seen in a while.

I'd also like to do a quick mention about my hair. Firstly, you can see it is slightly longer than beforehand, and it's also a lot darker than before. I've honestly had enough of styling my hair, I never know what to do and always end up having it down or in a messy bun. I need simple, quick styles please! Anyway, enough of my rambling, here's what I used:

Face:

Mac Studio Fix Fluid NW15

MUA Pressed Powder Shade 2

Accessorize Bronzer (don't know what shade as the writing has worn away!)

Lips:

Natural Collection Sheer Natural Lip Colour - Lotus

Eyeko Lipgloss - Primrose Hill

Eyes:

Urban Decay Naked Palette:

Sin on lids

Virgin in corner of my eyes

Half baked in crease

Darkhorse on edges
