Elf Eyebrow Kit in Light was a big favorite of mine a couple of years ago. This one is, in fact, the second kit I've finished over the years that I have been using this product. I've been trying other brow products now, and so far, I haven't had any urge to repurchase this one. Tarte Primer Trio so, those tubes aren't empty.. Well, they are... but technically they aren't really "finished products" since they've all just been depotted (I had sooo many issues with the packaging!!! ie I honestly thought I've finished the eye primer, so I squeezed the beejesus out of it - of course it actually still has 70% product left and IT SQUIRTED EVERYWHERE) Will I repurchase? HECK YES. The eye primer and the brightening face primer are my favorite... Like, HG status favorite. The eye primer is seriously better than NARS Pro Prime!
The Milani Eye Tech Liquid Eyeliner is the worst. We will not talk about that. Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara and the Eye of Horus Mascara are both super boring to talk about. They're both mascaras (duh), and they go bad after 3 months so it was time to toss 'em out blah blah blah ho-hum.
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in #56 okay technically not empty, but the makeup artist who used this on me broke the pump (!!!RAGE!one1!), and I can't get any foundation out of the bottle any more. Oh well, not my shade anyway. Great foundation though. Definitely has better staying than the foundations I'm currently using right now. Sadface. You will be missed. Jack Black Lip Balm BEST LIP BALM EVER. End of.
MAC Creme d Nude lipstick CAN YOU BELIEVE I ACTUALLY FINISHED A TUBE OF LIPSTICK??? And it's a shade I hated too! Clings on dry lips, really bad shade of nude on me, not much staying power, hated the finish. Good riddance, I tell ya. Bifesta Sebum Makeup Remover Can I just say that I really, really like this product? Very easy to use, doesn't break me out, gentle on the eyes, cheap, can be found just about everywhere, etc. LOVE (lol not I still love Bioderma so much more but what can you do when it's not locally available, eh?) I'm actually using the Bifesta Bright Up variant now, but honestly, I see no difference between the two.
What products have you finished lately? ;) (And a big yahoo for you!)
Soooo, Monsoon season has officially started in my country.. Everything just looks so dank and dreary. While I do prefer this season to Summer, nobody wants to be surrounded by... well, gray. Easiest way to remedy this is to put some colors on your tips, amiriiite?
Sally Hansen Pacific Blue is my current go-to nail polish color (which is saying a lot since I usually prefer deep reds or black). For me, Pacific Blue is the perfect Summer to Wet (that's Fall for you guys..) transition color - it's a creamy blue color that isn't too light or too dark or too bright. Max Factor Cobalt Blue will probably be my next go-to nail polish once I start tire with Pacific Blue. I just love how cool-toned it is, making my fingers (hands) look really clean! The shade is just an absolute beauty - definitely my favorite of these three overall. OPI Blue My Mind is a bright royal blue with a metallic finish. I was quite apprehensive when I first got this because I never get on with frosty nail polish - it just reminds me of old lady, for some reasons. But when I'm feel like I need a quick pick-me-up, I paint my nails with this color. It's such a nice happy, vibrant shade!
First of, I have to tell you, I am not the biggest fan of this BB Cream's name. Seriously, does it really warrant a long name?! I find it quite ridiculous, to be honest. Buuuut I'm making such a big deal out of nothing since I actually really, really like this product!
[I cut off almost 6 inches total off of my hair. Yes, I'm also aware that I look YEARS younger....]
Too Cool For School After School Lunch Box BB Foundation Lunch Box (Php239) is, so far, the only authentic Korean BB Cream that has worked for me. Often times I find BB Cream to be either too light or too gray for me. Surprisingly, this BB Cream has only ONE shade but it still works for me (NC35-40)! Partly because it's super yellow-toned, I think. Although, it's still a shade lighter than my actual skin tone but it blends really well on my skin so it isn't very noticeable. In fact, the mismatch of the shade actually makes me look really healthy and glowy!
The BB Cream feels very light on the skin, but has a pretty decent coverage. It has a nice semi-matte finish, and has lasted me a good 4 hours before I oiled up. I really love how I don't even need a setting powder for this BB Cream yet it lasts longer than some of my other foundations.
Obviously, I only got the travel-sized version of this, but I don't doubt that I will repurchase it as soon as I ran out of it! If I'm not mistaken the full size of this BB Cream includes a concealer. So win-win, eh? ;)
