Hi guys,

Welcome to this month’s instalment of my empties. I have 13 empties for this month, so have a read and enjoy. For any repeats, I will keep it short.

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.

CeraVe Micellar Cleansing Water

I picked this as I think it was coming up advertised on my Insta. 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 without drying out my face or breaking me out so I purchased another one as it was on offer in Boots when I was in shopping recently. Plus it is 295ml which lasts a couple of months.

Mario Badescu Caffeine Eye Cream

I got this in a Cohorted box. I found this was nice but I personally didn’t find this overly hydrating. I probably won’t repurchase for that reason but I did find it helped with any darkness.

Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream

I got this in my advent calendar and it is a lovely moisturiser. This has squalane in it which I am a big fan of as it is great for keeping the face hydrated, soft and smooth at the same time. I would 100% buy this again

Nars Soft Matte foundation in Stromboli and Deuville

I have spoken about this so many times. The coverage is unreal. It is a matte foundation but it doesn’t dry matte or go cakey. It is all the things I look for it in a foundation. It is definitely my favourite foundation and my go to especially for an occasion or night out.

Dolce & Gabbana Concealer Longwear Millennialskin in Neutral 3

I really liked this concealer. I bought this a really long time ago on sale on Feelunique but never got around to trying it until 6 months ago as I had so many to try. I found this had really good coverage and didn’t crease. It wore well under all of my powders. I would have bought this again but I think it was reduced as it was discontinued.   

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.

Fenty Beauty Hella Thic Mascara 

I think this is my third tube of this.  This gives you length but also so much volume to your lashes. One application will actually do both eyes and give the length and volume needed. Two for major volume and length. I love this mascara and it is a major recommendation from me. Run and buy it…

Collection Fast Stroke Crystals Eyeliner in Funk

So this is the glitter that I used when creating a fast eye look with a lil sparkle. It is actually all I seem to do these days, lol. It is a lovely gold colour, it lasts all day and night and gives you a beautiful sparkle. I took myself over to Liffey Valley recently and picked up another one. I had been looking for a while as they didn’t have it in other Boots so it was a panic moment.

Essence 8hr Matte Comfort Lipliner in Cushion Talk x 2

How many times have I spoken about this lipliner. Costs about €2.80 and is super pigmented, lasts all day and always a repurchase.

This is a continuation of the new section I introduced a while ago. So this should be 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 or it doesn’t work for me.

Charlotte Tilbury Exagger-Eyes

Oh I am so sad to say this but this mascara just didn’t work for me. If you have followed me for a while, you will know that I love big thick fluttery lashes but this didn’t give that to me. This was super natural looking and even after 4 layers, I just didn’t get the volume so this is a no for me. But if you like natural lash, go for it.

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