[BEAUTY]: Empties February 2016

Empties Post

This is the first empties post I've written and I know they are usually quite a favourite among readers as bloggers can give their opinions on whether or not the product is worth repurchasing. These are the products that have just finished in my beauty stash and I wanted to share what I thought of all of them. 

The Body Shop - Camomile Gentle Eye Make Up Remover

I bought this travel sized make up remover from The Body Shop when I was at the airport last year as I wanted to try out a new eye make up remover and I loved the size of the bottle. It's gentle on your eyes and works well to remove eye make up. It's suitable for sensitive skin and for those of you that also wear contact lenses like myself.

Would I repurchase this product? Yes, I would but I first want to try the Camomile Waterproof Eye and Lip Make Up Remover next.

Catrice Prime and Fine Translucent Loose Powder

I've had this powder in my make up collection for quite a while now as I'm always testing out different powders but I'm really a fan of this one, it never lets me down!

ps: you can see my review of this product here.

Would I repurchase this product? Yes, definitely! Its a bargain!

LA Girl Pro Conceal HD Concealer

This is my favourite concealer! It gives great coverage and is so affordable! Applies easily and great to pop into your handbag.

I chat more about this concealer in this post.

Would I repurchase this product? Yep, already have!

Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara

I've actually repurchased this mascara twice already! I'm such a fan! It gives my lashes volume and length!

Here is some more information on this mascara - read the post here.

Would I repurchase this product? I've just purchased my third tube of this mascara!

Have you tried any of these products?

[BEAUTY]: New Make Up in January

I popped into Dis-Chem the other day as I needed a new foundation and picked up these three make up items, because who can go into a store and only buy one make up item? 

While checking out the stand, the All Matt Plus foundation caught my eye. I don't have oily skin, but a soft, velvety, matt make up look is one which I always try to achieve so I thought this foundation would be ideal. I purchased the shade 020 Nude Beige which is quite fair, I do think I can go one shade darker but with some added help from my bronzer it's working well for summer and will be the perfect shade for winter. It's light weight; long-lasting and applies with a soft touch. The only thing that I'm not a fan of is the coverage as it doesn't really offer what I was hoping. Other than that, its well priced at R114.95 and is available at Dis-Chem. 

The next Catrice product I bought was the Glam & Doll Volume Mascara. The brush of this mascara is what convinced me to buy it as it was developed to create the 'doll eye' look. I'm on the fence about this mascara, it offers volume but not great length. That being said, I usually don't like many mascaras straight away and find I need to test them out for a few weeks before giving my final verdict. So look out for that one!

This mascara retails for R69.99 at Dis-Chem.

Lastly, I managed to bag the Physicians Formula Multi-Coloured Pressed Powder in Creamy Natural which is for fair to light skin on sale! I've searched the Dis-Chem site as well as the Physicians Formula websites but can't seem to find this product as I think they've discontinued selling it. This powder has great pigment and works well for my skin tone, I'm so pleased I found it but now I hope I can find a similar one if they no longer sell it.

Let me know if you have any suggestions on some new make up I should try out? Cruelty free obviously :P
