Hi guys,

Welcome to this month’s instalment of my empties. I have a whooping 22 empties for this month, so sit down, grab a tea and have a read and enjoy. For any repeats, I will keep it short.

No7 Cleansing Balm

I know this says that this is for dry skin but I have combination skin and I find this is a gorgeous cleanser. I have used this before. I use this as my first cleanse and it removes every bit of makeup from my face. It is a beautiful cleansing balm and one I will repurchase, I think this is my 3rd or 4th one of this.

Neutrogena Refreshingly Clear Facial Wash

I will keep this short as I have mentioned this in so many empties. Have been using this now for nearly 10 years. I have been using this as my second cleanse as I was using the No7 Cleansing Balm as my first. But if I am going through a breakout I will use this as first and second cleanse. I always have multiple of these in my skincare press.

Byoma Creamy Jelly Cleanser

So I got this mini in my most recent Advent Calendar and I really enjoyed this. I used this as a second cleanse at night or first thing in the morning. I found this wasn’t drying on the face but it was super moisturising. I liked it so much I bought a full size. So I think you have my answer on repurchase already.

Malin+Goetz Grapefruit Face Cleanser

I got this in my most recent Advent Calendar. I had tried this previously and I can’t remember my thoughts but I really enjoyed this. I used this as a first cleanse and it removed nearly if not all makeup. I also think this would be good if you are suffering from breakouts. I would repurchase this.

Simple Purifying Cleansing Lotion

I have mentioned this in so many empties. I use this for cleansing my eyes as it is gentle. I leave it on my eye for a couple seconds and then I cleanse. I normally pick this up in one of the multiples (Dunnes Stores, SuperValu, Tesco) when they are running an offer on it.

Jorgobé Niacinamide Serum

I got this in one of my Cohorted boxes and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this. I found that this was useful for my fine lines (not that I have any of course) and it was good for hydration. I would purchase this again as I do love a niacinamide serum.

Bioderma Sensibio H20

I have spoken about this before. I use a micellar water as my 3rd and final cleanse to ensure every drop of makeup is off my face. This did the trick and I would definitely purchase this again.

Zelens 3T Complex Anti-Ageing Cream

This is another one that I got in a Cohorted box. I used this every morning and I really enjoyed it. It was super moisturising on the face and great under makeup so another one I would probably buy again.

Eucerin Dry Touch Sun Gel-Cream

So I tried another Eucerin spf of my sisters a long time ago and thought it was nice but it was a hydrating one so I decided to try this one as it is a mattifying one. I have to say I really liked this. It was mattifying on the skin and didn’t show through my makeup (something that I learned from Jo from @everythingjoloves). I liked it so much I purchased another one.

Garnier Vitamin C Daily UV Glow

So when I was in Spain late last year with the girls, one of the girls gave me this as it was too dark for her so of course I tried this. This is a glowy formula but not too glowy. It gave me a glow but not too glowy and didn’t show through my makeup. This was great for during the week as I used this instead of a glowy or dewy primer.

Glossier Futuredew

My sister bought this for me and she didn’t really like this but I did. This is an unusual one because it is a primer but an oil. This gave a beautiful natural glow to the skin without being too glowy. Definite repurchase for me.

Too Faced Primed Poreless

I got two minis of this in one of my monthly Cohorted boxes. I have spoke about this before and I really like it. I used this on my forehead and my nose for any fine lines and pores and it worked a treat. I would repurchase for sure.

YSL All Hours Foundation in BD40

My ex’s mother gave me this as she didn’t particularly like this but I actually did. I think the coverage is fantastic on it and it’s not super matte. I actually have a BD45 in the press to use so I think it is safe to say I would buy this again.

Benefit Boo-ing Cakeless Concealer in No.5

I think if you have been following me for a while, you will know that this was my go to concealer for a long time. It is a beautiful concealer which gives you great coverage without creasing.This was one of my 2020 favourite products of the year and it is still a firm favourite.

Morphe 2 Hide & Peek Concealer in Peek of Sand

This was a nice concealer, it gave a light to medium buildable coverage which I wore as a medium coverage. It didn’t have a matte finish, it was more of a sheen finish. It was a nice concealer. I would recommend if you like a medium coverage natural looking finish concealer.

Revolution Translucent Baking Powder

This says that it is “super matte” but I did feel that there is a slight sheen to the powder. This was a nice powder for setting the face but I didn’t particularly find this very flattering under the eye so for that reason I probably wouldn’t repurchase.

KVD Lock It Translucent Setting Powder

I have used this before and this would have shown in an empties previously. I do really like this powder for when I am using a very matte foundation because this actually has a slight fleck in it so it gives a sheen to the skin. I would say, if using under the eye, use sparingly as this can look a bit too shiny under the eye and can crease if too much is used.

Huda Beauty Easy Bake Powder in Pound Cake

I will keep this short as this is a repeat purchase. From the minute I tried this I loved it. This sets the face but doesn’t leave it looking dry, dehydrated or cakey looking. It actually gives an airbrush effect to the skin. Always a repurchase.

Hourglass Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara

I got this in my Advent Calendar thought that this mascara was going to be like the other Hourglass Caution mascara. I found this was good for lengthening your lashes but there wasn’t really any volume so it is one I probably wouldn’t repurchase.

L’Occitane Concentre De Lait Milk Concentrate

I also got this in my Advent Calendar. This was a lovely moisturiser, I got about 3 or 4 days out of this but it was lovely, my body felt lovely and hydrated when using this. This is one yay I would definitely purchase.

Oils Rejuvenating Moisturiser

My friend got this for me for Christmas 2023 and I finally got around to trying it late last year and I loved this. It smelt amazing and it also felt so nice on the skin without feeling oily or greasy. I just need to find this so I can re-purchase this.

Olaplex No/5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner

I have spoke about this before, this is my go to conditioner. I love this, it is perfect for keeping my hair in good condition (pardon the pun). It latest ages aswell. I get roughly a year or longer out of this. I already purchased another one and using it.

Thanks again for reading guys, hope you enjoyed and see you next time.
