Hi guys,

Welcome to this month’s instalment of my empties.  I have another 12 empties for this month so grab a cuppa, a biccie or 2, sit down and enjoy.

Drunk Elephant Beste No.9 Jelly Cleanser

I got this in my @cultbeuaty Advent Calendar 2022. I have used this previously and I loved it. It is a gorgeous cleanser that I use as second cleanse to cleanse the skin or morning cleanse. It is gentle on the skin. It leaves the skin hydrated after use and not dry or irritated. I would repurchase this again.

Nuxe Very Rose 3-in-1 Soothing Micellar Water

I got this in my monthly @cohorted Box so I gave it a go when my La Roche Posay was finished. I really liked this. So if you don’t know me or you are new here, I use a Micellar Water as my final (like a 3rd cleanse) and in my hairline to ensure all makeup is removed from my skin and hairline. This wasn’t drying on the face and was a pleasure to use so I would repurchase this again.

StriVectin Super-C Dark Circle Brightening Eye Serum

This was a @carolinehirons recommendation that I got in my @cultbeauty Advent Calendar 2022. This was nice under the eye so as it is a serum, it was kind of like a gel texture and was cooling under the eye

Medik8 C-Tetra

I am not sure if I have used this one or another one of their vitamin c serums but in any case, this is a fabulous serum. It is an oil texture but dries into your skin quickly and doesn’t leave your skin tacky. Definitely one I would repurchase.

La Roche Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 SPF

Another product that I have used before. It is a brilliant spf. It also helps give moisture to your skin, it doesn’t come through your makeup which is something that I have been conscious of since @everythingjoloves spoke about a while ago and I thank her for this recommendation. Definitely one I will repurchase.

Dior Forever Skin Correct in 05.N

So my sister gave this to me as it was too drying for her under eyes. I tried it and it was too light for my undereyes so instead I used this to conceal breakouts when I had them, any of my rosacea areas when they are annoying me and I have to say it works a treat at concealing them. I would like to try this on my undereyes in the correct colour so watch this space (it will be a while as I have a few concealers to try still).

AYU Perfect Skin Foundation in Light/Medium 2

I originally purchased this foundation in my tan shade and loved it so much I purchased my paler / tan wearing off shade. This is a full coverage foundation that literally covers any imperfection on your skin. Like a blank canvas but doesn’t feel heavy on the skin and lasts all day. Definite repurchase for me.

Catrice More Than Glow Highlighter in 010 Ultimate Platinum Glaze

I purchased this because I had another highlighter that I loved from Catrice and this did not disappoint. It was lovely on the skin, gave a beautiful soft glow that you could build up to a intense glow. Only feedback is that when you have hit pan and nearly finished the highlight, it kind of gets a bit shiny with no colour pay off.

17 Lip Define Pencil in Dusty Rose

Ok so as you may know, my beloved Essence lip liner in Unforgettable has been discontinued so I was on the hunt for a new lip liner and decided to try this. I have never tried anything from the brand before even previously (as they were relaunched) But..I love this lip liner. I love the colour, that it is creamy, easy to apply and lasts all day (I have applied only the liner at times). Definite repurchase. Also only €3.50 in Boots.

Sanctuary Spa Lily & Rose Collection Body Wash

I was lucky enough to be gifted this. I love this brand. This went straight into the shower when I was gifted it. The smell is devine. This body wash also has jojoba beads which helps moisture the skin. I finish this off with the body lotion (soon to be featured in an empties) so I smell fabulous and my skin is hydrated. This is a definite repurchase for me.

Sol Janeiro Brazilian 4 Play Moisturizing Shower Cream-Gel

I got this from my friend for my birthday. I liked this, thought it was moisturising on the skin but you didn’t a lil bit more to get a lather on your body but smells amazing so probably wouldn’t stop me from purchasing again.

** NEW NEW NEW **
This is a slightly new section which is an empty product but it’s a #notsoemptyempties as it is something I have tried, tried again and re-tried and maybe not like so much.

Aldi Lacura Highlighter 

First up is this Aldi brand Lacura Highlighter and it was a recommendation but..I found that you only got pay off when you swatched it with your finger and no matter what brush I used, I didn’t get any colour pay off. I have no idea how much this was but it is one I won’t be repurchasing. Sorry Aldi.

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