August 2026 Empties

Hi guys!

Welcome to this month’s edition of my empties. I’ve got 10 products to chat about, so grab a cuppa and enjoy the read. For anything that’s popped up before, I’ll keep it short and sweet!

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.

Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid 100 Moisturizing Cream

My sister bought this but unfortunately it did not agree with her skin, so she gave it to me to try. And oh my god, I loved this. A little goes a very long way and it left my skin feeling hydrated, moisturised, smooth and just fabulous. I have a few moisturisers to get through first, but once I run out I will definitely be buying a new one of this. Such a lovely moisturiser and one I would happily repurchase.

Garnier Amber Solaire Super UV Vitamin C

I really liked 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. This also have vitamin C in it which is another bonus.

Catrice Soft Blur in 002 Absolute Translucent

I use this on my forehead to help keep any excess moisture away and keep it looking mattified throughout the day. I find it does exactly that and I also love that it helps with my frown line. As the day goes on and my oils start to come through, the line is much less noticeable. I would not use this to set my whole face, but I absolutely love it for my forehead. I have already bought another one, so this is definitely a repurchase for me.

Morphe Mini Bake & Set

I picked up a mini to try of this as I thought it was a new powder but I had already bought this before but I thoroughly enjoyed this. This has a silky finish which helps minimise your pores and leave a soft finish to the skin. I need to pick up the large one asap.

Catrice Plumping Lip Liner in I Like To Mauve It

Another one I will keep should as this one will always appear in my empties as it is one that I always have on the go. It is super pigmented and lasts all day and for the bargain price of €4.00. I love this colour aswell.

Collection Lip Definer in Nude Pink 1

Now I really like this but it wasn’t the nude pink I thought that it would be. It was more of a brown nude than pink. Easy to apply with good lasting power. Also very cheap.

17 Lip Define Pencil in Dusty Rose

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.

Eucerin Aquaphor Soothing Skin Balm

If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know I have very watery eyes and I used to love MAC (@maccosmeticsuk) Matte Créme Matifiante, thanks to @plouise1 and @plouisemakeupacademy for introducing me to it. Sadly, MAC discontinued it, so I tried other silicone primers. Then my sister sent me an Instagram video recommending this for watery eyes, so I gave it a try and I’m so glad I did. It really helps with my watery eyes, and after trying everything from different brushes, foundations, concealers and liners, this actually works. I’ve been using it for a few months and will definitely repurchase it. This one is now out of date, so I’ll be popping to Boots for another.

Sanctuary Spa Ultra Rich Wet Skin Miracle Moisturiser in Golden Sandalwood

I love this. This is the Ultra Rich one. You moisturise in the shower and you are done. It’s great. I already repurchased this.
