Empties: Finished a Foundation!

empties

I feel like it’s been quite some time from my last empties and my bag was getting quite full! My star empty this time is a foundation! I think it’s actually the first time I’ve finished one. As usual, I have my plethora of makeup wipes!

Foil Packets

Bumble and bumble Bb Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner
Repurchase: Probably not

I’ve used these samples before and they’re pretty decent, but Bumble and bumble is pretty expensive! I’ll stick to the foil packets for this!

Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation Mattifying in Nude
Repurchase: No

I used this sample some time ago, but I remember not liking it very much just because I had trouble blending it. From the name I thought I would love it, but unfortunately not. 🙁

Sweet Spot Labs On-the-Go Wipette
Repurchase: Maybe!

I got this sample from Gen Beauty. It’s for your ‘sensitive’ areas. I’m not too sure how much this costs, but I think it’s a great idea to bring while travelling or in your gym bag! The scent was super fresh which I loved!

Minis

BITE Agave Lip Mask
Repurchase: Yes!

I got this little mini in a BITE 5 Night Repair Kit. This little thing lasted me WAY longer than 5 nights! More like a good couple of months! I’m going to be repurchasing this full sized very soon!

Living Proof No Frizz Shampoo and Conditioner
Repurchase: No

I really like the Living Proof PhD collection, but not in love with this line. I noticed that it actually made my hair MORE frizzy than normal which is a feat in itself. Maybe it’s because I go to sleep with wet hair? No idea! Not impressed though.

Living Proof PhD 5 in 1 Styling Cream
Repurchase: Not on its own

A solid hair cream. I don’t love it enough to purchase it on its own, but I always end up receiving one in a kit somewhere or another!

Ole Henriksen The Clean Truth Brightening Makeup Wipes
Repurchase: Probably

Some of my favourite wipes, but so pricey! Love the citrus scent!

The Body Shop Papaya Body Wash
Repurchase: Maybe

I actually really enjoyed the scent of this! Body wash is body wash, but it’s always nice when it’s so wonderfully scented!

Full Size

Make Up For Ever HD Foundation
Repurchase: I can’t!

This was MUFE’s older formula before they came out with Ultra HD. I really like this one and sad that it’s discontinued. It keeps my skin a bit more matte than the Ultra HD so it was a bit better for summer. RIP.

Sonia Kashuck Eye Makeup Remover
Repurchase: Yes! (If I can find it!)

I love this eye makeup remover. Right before Target left Canada I stocked up. It’s cheap and works really really well without making your eyelids feel super oily. Win, win, win!

Skintimate Skin Therapy Shaving Gel
Repurchase: Yes

I find the Skintimate brand cheap and effective. Nothing more you can ask for in a shaving cream!

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Makeup Removing Wipes
Repurchase: Yes

Another pack of my favourite wipes. Occasionally I see them at a 2 for 1 deal and always have to snatch them up!

Kirkland Daily Facial Towelettes
Repurchase: Maybe

They’re cheap and decently effective. I still have a big box of them from Costco. Not too fond of the scent, but they get the job done!

Sudsatorium Downunderish Scrub
Repurchase: Maybe!

I really liked this scrub. It worked so well, the smell was heavenly (all the pineapple juice) and made my skin feel great! I only say maybe as a repurchase if I can find it at a market somewhere!

Up & Up Cotton Rounds
Repurchase: Can’t

Almost done these little suckers! Can’t believe it. How many years did Target leave again?

Trash

Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream with Salicylic Acid
Repurchase: No

I really like the original Dream BB Cream and thought I would like this as well. Unfortunately not. I found it very hard to blend and it just didn’t sit right on my skin. Definitely didn’t work for me!

Revlon Quick Dry Base Coat
Repurchase: Maybe

I liked this base coat a lot. But as nail polishes do, this one dried up to the point of being unusable.

 

And there we have another empties! I was thinking of trying to do a Sample Killer but I’m actually not sure if I have enough foil packets! I guess I could incorporate minis too just because I have tons of them!

Anyways, thanks for reading! Hope you have a great day!

  1. Sounds like you need a trip to the States for some Target action 😉 Hooray for finally finishing a foundation though! (I’ve never finished a base before, but I’m /so/ close to finishing the one I use on a daily basis) I really enjoyed the Maybelline original BB too, so much that I purchased a backup. BUT NOW I REGRET BECAUSE SO MANY BASES, SO LITTLE TIME.
