The time has come.I'm finally going to be reviewing and showing you my empties from the past year of 2014!!
It's been a long year and although we still have a few months to spare, I thought I would just post this up for you guys since I'm trying to resist from buying another other beauty products (you'll see how many products I've accumulated over the past year and girl, it's cray)--I've achieved VIB rouge status within 6 months so.....that says a lot LOL I tend to get carried away so I have to learn how to my impulsive shopping habits.
I'll try to keep this post short and sweet. But maybe not. Who knows.
1. Clarins Toning Lotion (part of the Clarins) 7 wonders gift set ($23)
=definitely loved this product since I went out to get the full sized product right after I ran out of this one. It's great for hydrating really dry skin and leaves your skin feeling supa clean and fresh.
2. Stila Perfect & Correct Foundation ($44)
= one of my all time favorite liquid foundations and an old faithful. I didn't repurchase this again because I wanted to let my face take a breather. Although it's considered a liquid foundation, the consistency is almost jelly like (?) but I'm guessing it's because it has a primer incorporated into the foundation formula itself (I still use a face primer prior to application). This has been one of the rare foundations that come in fair skin complexion shades that best suits my skin tone so if you're fair like I am and have dry skin, I would definitely recommend this product.
3. Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray ($14 travel size | $30 full size)
= I have two of the travel sized and one full sized product--all of which I have used up because I love it so much. I think I love it so much that it has become the cherry on top in my everyday routine. If I don't use it or forget to use it one day, my day feels incomplete. There are two other versions to this spray I believe and I have yet to try them but this one is pretty good at keeping your makeup from melting off your face especially during the summer since that's when I used it most. Pricey, but worth a try.
= I honestly don't think these body scrubs live up to the hype. Let's just say I've had better body scrubs before for a fraction of the price. Smells delicious but eh, not worth it in my opinion.
5. The Body Shop Body Butter in Mango ($6 travel size | $20 full size)
= Ok, this product I can say lives up to the hype. Extremely hydrating and smells freaking incredible!! I'm looking forward to purchasing this again in the full size version.
6. Shiseido Urban Environment Oil Free UB Protector ($30)
= I think I've mentioned this in a favorites post before. Best sunscreen ever. Extremely lightweight and nice blending consistency. The only downside is that if you're an avid everyday user, you're going to run out fairly quickly (I bought this in the summer so duh obvi I'm gonna use it everyday--although you should still use it during the winter) If I got a lil more bang for my buck, this would've been perfect. On the pricey side, so I'm still thinking whether or not to repurchase. Probably will tho.
7. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz ($22)
= I'm already on my 3rd or 4th brow wiz so I guess you can say I'm hooked. I can't leave the house without using one of these babies. Perfect for really getting that detailed "tail" of the eyebrow (which I love and always go for) and it just makes your eyebrows look really natural and "light n fluffy." 10/10 for this product--go out and get yoself this right NOW
8. NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer ($30)
= I think this might be one of the best concealers/eye brightening creams I've ever laid my hands on!! I hate how you can't really tell when you're starting to run out and get the remaining products out though. Definitely going to be repurchasing after I experiment with a few more concealers out there.
9. Givenchy Mister Light Corrective Pen ($35)
= Blends well but has a glittery look to it after you blend it out. If you're looking for something matte, don't get this. Honestly, it's not worth the money and definitely doesn't live up to the hype in my book. I had to force myself to use this up because it was pretty pricey and would be a waste. At least the packaging is gorgeous. Eh. I wouldn't repurchase.
= I have to admit, it was pretty sad hitting pan with this lip balm (mostly because I freaking spent $30 on a lip balm) but I think it was well worth. It helped my lips stay moisturized during the colder months and definitely made them feel freaking luxurious. I love the smell of rose so it wasn't a problem for me (it's not overpowering at all anyways.) I DID repurchase this but then felt guilty and returned it right after. Maybe next time.
11. LaVanilla The Healthy Deodorant in Vanilla Grapefruit ($14)
= was I the only one that had even sweatier armpits after using this?????? Smells great and I love the fact that it doesn't use some nasty ingredients but it didn't really help me out at all. It made my armpits really moist LMAO like REALLY....really moist. And for $14, girl, I must've been outta my mind. I'll pass on the next purchase.
12. Evian Mineral Water Face Mist ($8)
= it's basically water in a can that you spray on your face. Don't be stupid like me and buy this.
13. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion ($26)
= one of the best lotions I've used for dry skin. This shit does it's job. I'm not really fond of the smell and it can get sticky during application but it dries off to a smooth finish. I like this. I need more. (I do have a bit left in there but it just won't pump out! So if you guys have any tips onto getting every single bit out, please leave a comment below--would be greatly appreciated)
14. Too Faced Primed and Poreless Primer ($30)
= I love this product. Part of my everyday routine. Gives you a smooth and flawless finish and keeps your makeup in place. I think its worth every penny so I'll definitely be repurchasing this.
Well those are my empties reviews on products I've saved up!! I think there were a few more I wanted to talk about but I might've thrown them away. I hope these reviews helped even the slightest bit :-)
There are some products that you might see in pictures that weren't listed in my post and that was done on purpose!!! I'll be reviewing each and every product I've purchased in 2014 in my 2014 Favorites post coming soon :-)
