She then posted it on </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C3DZKamMHMT/?igsh=MzlxMDhwbmxoaWFy" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">Instagram</a><span style="text-align: left;"> the following week and I knew I’d have to try to recreate it. It has everything I love in a makeup look- graphic liner, wet-look shimmer, a defined inner corner and different shades of blue. </span></div></span></div></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">One of the things I love about recreating the work of a Makeup Artist is the challenge of finding products in my collection that can replicate the look as closely as possible. I like to go through my collection and use what I already have which can lead to using combinations I've never tried before and using products in a different way. It's also interesting to see how the makeup looks on another person who has different features and perhaps adjust the look accordingly. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I included the application video of this look below if you'd like to see how I did it but I also wanted to write about some of the products I used in more detail. I began by using the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-4084397" target="_blank">Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin Foundation</a> of course. You can read <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2022/04/lisa-eldridge-foundation-review.html" target="_blank">my review</a> if you'd like to know my full thoughts and see before and after photos. I just saw yesterday that she is launching a new base product, the Enhancing Tint next week. I am so excited to try it as her foundation is truly a masterpiece and the Enhancing Tint sounds like my kind of everyday base product. I mentioned recently that I'm almost finished the foundation so I've been using it sparingly but as you can see from the photos below it has such a beautiful finish on the skin. This is such a striking eye look so I wanted my skin to look quite fresh but even toned. A thin layer of the Seamless Skin Foundation is ideal for that kind of coverage. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I began the eyes with a navy Lancôme eyeliner, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-4000569" target="_blank">Le Stylo Waterproof</a> which is a long-wearing formula. You do get some play time to blend it out which is what I did to create a wing on my upper lash line. I lined my upper and lower waterline with this liner too. I used some of my favourite blue eye products to create the graphic inner corner and inner eyelid. The <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-4000556" target="_blank">Half Magic Chromaddiction Matte</a> in Sky Juice is the perfect periwinkle blue and the formula allows me to use it almost like a liquid liner. One of my favourite Urban Decay products from recent years is the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-4000627" target="_blank">Naked X Robin Eisenberg palette</a>. I'm such a fan of blue eyeshadow shades and this palette has such gorgeous shades in it including this beautiful matte periwinkle blue that I've used again and again. In the eye look on Emma, you can see a wet-look shimmer eyeshadow in the centre of the eyelid and the lower lash line and I couldn't think of anything that would look better than the shade Mercurial from <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2431042" target="_blank">Lisa's Sorcery Eyeshadow Palette</a>. It's one of the most special eyeshadow shades I have ever used. You can read my full review of the palette <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2024/01/lisa-eldridge-eyeshadow-palettes-review.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I finished the look by using the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-4000637" target="_blank">Velveteen Liquid Lip Colour</a> in both Fawn and Muse mixed together on both lips and cheeks. (I'll be writing my review of the Velveteens soon!) For the cheeks, I mixed them with the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-4000664" target="_blank">Elevated Glow Highlighter</a> in Pink Moon which is what I usually do with any liquid blush. I like the cohesion of using the same products for both lips and cheeks and how the warmth of the products contrasts against the blues of the eyes. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I absolutely loved recreating this look, it made me gasp when I first saw it and those kinds of looks don't come across my social media too often. I hope it's helpful to see everything up close, I'd love to know if you've tried any of these products. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I wanted to base it on the Ballerina in the music video for George Harrison's cover of Got My Mind Set On You from 1987. My dad had it recorded on a VHS when we were kids and we'd watch it over and over. I made a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3QN8ptMc2_/?igsh=MXJ2NTk3NjAxNnliNA==" target="_blank">video for Instagram</a> about the inspiration behind this look if you're interested in watching it. I have also wanted to try Douyin makeup so I decided to add some elements of that including aegyo-sal (baby eye fat), a technique where you contour under your eyes to make them seem more youthful, and doll-like. There is usually a thin liquid liner and some glitter as well as prominent blush and plump, glossy lips. I wanted the look to be quite fresh with soft cool tones pinks and glitter to accentuate my eyes. </span><span>I’ve never worn a monochromatic cool pink look before so it was really fun to try. </span></p><p><span>I started with the Prada Reveal Foundation as it has more of a soft matte finish and seeing as many of the elements would involve glowy, glitter and glossy textures, I thought a slightly more matte base would be better for balance. It's also an excellent shade match for when I wear my hair up. I used two of the Danessa Myricks Colorfix Mattes, Latte and Lift, mixed together to make the perfect cool-toned ballerina pink as my eye base. Then I applied some shades from the Unleashia Glitterpedia Palette in All of the Lavender and Fog as it has some beautiful soft shades and iridescent glitters. I had to add some of the Half Magic Glitterpuck on top as it's such a beautiful wet-look pink glitter topper. I applied a thin line of the Surratt Auto-Graphique Liner just on the outer half of my upper eyelid and lined my upper waterline to give the appearance of a fuller lash line. I used the Sweed Satin Kohl Eye Pencil in the shade Bright on my waterline for some extra brightness and finished the eyes with some glitter on my inner corner, a tiny Half Magic Face Pearl on my outer corner and two coats of the incredible Sweed Pro Lash Lift Mascara in Dark Brown which I've been absolutely loving.</span></p><p><span>I used several shades on my cheeks to achieve this cool pink blush. Firstly, I used the shades XOXO and Tease from the Danessa Myricks Dewy Cheek and Lip Palette, then Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in the shade Encourage, some of the Colorfix concoction I used on my eyes and finally the Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush. I used the KJH.Brand Hyper Shine High Lite Kit in Lite Pink to add some glow to my cheekbones and a few other areas for that ethereal look. </span></p><p><span>I finished the look using the double gloss trend I saw recently on the Fenty Beauty Instagram account. I used the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment in Ribbon and followed it with the Lancôme Juicy Tubes in the shade Miracle as it's that perfect Y2K sparkly pink gloss. </span></p><p><span>I loved creating and wearing this look as it's something I haven't tried before. It feels like the perfect makeup look for Spring as it's so fresh and radiant and a total juxtaposition from the deeper, darker shades we can gravitate towards in the Winter. It's a look that anyone can wear, even if you're not used to wearing pink, you can choose a shade of pink that works for your skin tone. For some people, it may be a warmer pink or something fuchsia or magenta. It's the monochromatic element that I find makes it easier to wear as it's much more cohesive. Would you wear this look? </span></p></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggympVT8hybQRfuonpNpLgqIf9Wocdq47kR226rcXVlz96heOT5dwVS7QZEzTvxDAfRn7_USbOiuvcsRZsJvzcNo65MOdQnN1FYObgI4vZCefxYFrdy8aXqAOueGzYLSaQNW0OnVNX-Ax5SngilmMoHFboteLqeofzIs2PMxnHLemImj3MXzBooIVRRpc/s4088/BP15.png" style="margin-left: 1em;

It consists of six products, the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3744815" target="_blank">Into the Wild Palette</a> ($55 USD), the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3744829" target="_blank">Blooming Rouge Ultra Smooth Satin Liquid Lipstick</a> ($30 USD), the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3744841" target="_blank">Peony Dream Cream Blush</a> ($30 USD), the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3744861" target="_blank">Flawless Jade Breathable Pressed Powder</a> ($46 USD), the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3744876" target="_blank">Flawless Jade Breathable Longwear Cushion Foundation</a> ($46 USD) and the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3744896" target="_blank">Yurong Airbrushed Tinted Pressed Powder</a> ($52 USD). </span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I was sent three of the products to test out and I've been using them over the past month. I thought I would write a review and share some photos of me wearing the products so that anyone interested in the collection can see them in action. As far as I know, this collection is Limited Edition but because the products are so unique and beautiful I wanted to showcase them here on my blog. I have a video swatching the collection on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2x0OBeMYq_/?igsh=bHpwZm83d2huemR6" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and I included my application video at the end of this post. </span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">As with all Florasis products, the packaging of this collection is beautifully unique. It's quite a lightweight plastic but the detail of the etched artificial leather is something I haven't seen before and it makes the packaging something special. The knot on the packaging is inspired by the Mongolian Ulzii knot which symbolises knowledge, wealth, happiness and good karma. The collection itself is inspired by the emerald Steppes, grasslands and rolling hills of Eastern Mongolia which is reflected in the campaign imagery. I'm going to be honest and say I do not know enough about the Steppes and the Mongolian Nomads to go into detail here, I know it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and I've seen there are documentaries about it. I plan on doing more research because I shamefully don't know much about it and I'd like to inform and educate myself. That being said I'm unsure as to the use of this culture as inspiration for a makeup collection from a Chinese brand. I'm going to be basing this review on face value as I'm not informed enough to say whether it is anything other than appreciation. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>The palette is absolutely beautiful, I've never seen such beautiful embossing except for on other Florasis products. There are four mattes, two shimmers and one glitter. </span><span>I’ve tried the palette in lots of different ways already and I've found it versatile and easy to use. </span><span>It’s quite a neutral palette of earthy tones. The dark turquoise glitter shade Midnight Waters is probably the least easy to wear in terms of texture and colour, so I wanted to create a look using that and the two shimmer shades. The mattes are beautiful, they have that formula that isn’t too pigmented but instead builds slowly and blends smoothly and effortlessly. If you struggle with blending matte eyeshadows, which I do sometimes, I highly recommend the Florasis ones as they’re very beginner friendly. </span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>The shimmers are beautiful too, they can be applied more sheer or built up using fingers or a damp brush. The same can be said for the glitter shade, although I did find this shade more difficult to build up. It has a deep grey base pigment and can be worn alone but I applied it over a medium brown base to give it some more warmth to tie it in with the gold shade. There is some fallout because the texture is quite chunky but again, if you apply it with your fingers or a damp brush the fallout will be minimised and you'll get the most payoff. You can do a lot with this palette as you can achieve a very minimal matte look or amp up the glamour and go all out glitter. This palette would make a beautiful gift for anyone who likes neutral eye makeup but likes a bit of sparkle too. I'm excited to continue to use it. </span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I would describe it as a ruddy coral with gold micro shimmer. The shimmer looks more apparent in the pan than it does on the skin as you can see from the close-up photos below. On my skin, it leans warmer but it's a versatile blush shade and I can imagine it working on many skin tones as it can be built up quite easily. If you have a similar skin tone to me, I recommend applying it with a light hand as the pigment is quite rich. Despite the name, it has a powder finish but it isn't chalky or patchy, it blends seamlessly on the skin. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The formula contains moisturising ingredients and a hydrophobic coating technology that locks in moisture while repelling water so it is sweatproof and waterproof. I didn't know what to expect with this product as I had never tried a Florasis blush before and I gravitate toward cream and liquid formulas. However it's one of the most elegant powder blush formulas I have tried. If I was to compare it to any other brand I would say it's similar to the NARS formula although I haven't tried that in years. If you're a powder blush fan or someone who finds blush doesn't last on their skin, I would definitely recommend checking this one out. I think it will be a great option for the warmer months. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga3UcdzwWRY02K-MnhPP5C465l9MsjSsMQzfD4zfmeVtSeHZEwQvloZEjLsIwHWRjwNBKBmHNf9peEV7dqvHWQzRFLyp50BNW3h0MvcbDLBCh1lYlYEwwhO0ku9WGJ0kq4KakYDyk6nodLsZp_m0p-K1lEbhCkE5IjwFNFZkAlvMWuHN-YkcS5lRFwrpw/s3740/FNG10.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2493" data-original-width="3740" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga3UcdzwWRY02K-MnhPP5C465l9MsjSsMQzfD4zfmeVtSeHZEwQvloZEjLsIwHWRjwNBKBmHNf9peEV7dqvHWQzRFLyp50BNW3h0MvcbDLBCh1lYlYEwwhO0ku9WGJ0kq4KakYDyk6nodLsZp_m0p-K1lEbhCkE5IjwFNFZkAlvMWuHN-YkcS5lRFwrpw/w640-h426/FNG10.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbDusZCYeamxvMU5jSm2gzzoyVNmTEvVhFKNgbA_pdZRBfVnMfjZ-zyUJWmWYa7cPLyMyYp0fpYfSX6bIsa2cgxSpRJgXTPohQpu-wJhicpXzHhBsskepmYOIkq_2ijsXIMD33iY2I9_u80B2hydqlf2pRWacpDT0lhsAsbDWkQMWwklI2M84cpB9g1QE/s3551/FNG17.2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2367" data-original-width="3551" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbDusZCYeamxvMU5jSm2gzzoyVNmTEvVhFKNgbA_pdZRBfVnMfjZ-zyUJWmWYa7cPLyMyYp0fpYfSX6bIsa2cgxSpRJgXTPohQpu-wJhicpXzHhBsskepmYOIkq_2ijsXIMD33iY2I9_u80B2hydqlf2pRWacpDT0lhsAsbDWkQMWwklI2M84cpB9g1QE/w640-h426/FNG17.2.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXiQoHLICLvJ9QekNb-GxWMtJ666LhH7l-YjS18xB3ketZosoNy-tJbQjfR_HqC3cX3xrXEAKRa4U-iIux2IXa4euSCBeIohzOanabVeIBIEgDGo7ybJsc_dvWfwNm2Jnu5-CYU-MmbVJ-BJkeZDtArvhuakrxlAWnwgfFd3_tpLlzvEw8umtDoNNNk6A/s3679/FNG34.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2452" data-original-width="3679" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXiQoHLICLvJ9QekNb-GxWMtJ666LhH7l-YjS18xB3ketZosoNy-tJbQjfR_HqC3cX3xrXEAKRa4U-iIux2IXa4euSCBeIohzOanabVeIBIEgDGo7ybJsc_dvWfwNm2Jnu5-CYU-MmbVJ-BJkeZDtArvhuakrxlAWnwgfFd3_tpLlzvEw8umtDoNNNk6A/w640-h426/FNG34.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>The final product is the Blooming Rouge Ultra Smooth Satin Liquid Lipstick. The shade is described as being "inspired by the naturally rich hues of sunsets and warm milk tea." I love this shade description, I would call it a muted brown-red which is much less poetic. It's almost like a more saturated version of the blush but because of the creamy formula, it can be worn in a sheer way by patting it on or built up for more opacity. It has a creamy mousse-like, silicone texture </span><span>that dries down to a satin finish.</span><span> If you've tried the </span><a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2023/10/romand-lips-glasting-melting-gloss.html" target="_blank">Romand Blur Fudge Tint</a><span>, it's like a satin version of that formula. It contains moisturising ingredients including calendula, so it feels comfortable to wear all day. It also has no discernable scent which I know will be good news for a lot of people as it can be difficult to find a fragrance-free lip product. I love this shade so much more than I expected to as it’s so easy and comfortable to wear. I wore it today with minimal makeup and I actually patted some of it on my cheeks as I was trying to get ready quickly. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Most of my eyeshadow brushes needed to be washed so I thought I would do a look that didn't involve many brushes. Last week I was listening to the first, self-titled Beach House album and when I looked at Spotify I noticed the beautiful album cover art which I hadn't seen in a while. I thought it would be fun to create a makeup look inspired by the artwork. You can see below it almost looks like the contents of a messy jewellery box and having not used my face gem collection in a while I thought this would be the perfect opportunity. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">My idea was to adhere the gems to my eyelids so that they resembled the strands of a bejeweled necklace. Rather than just using pearls, I wanted to add crystals and gold pearls too. I thought it would be fun to do a sixties-inspired shape with the rhinestones and then add lots of mascara for a wide-eyed, doll-like look. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I started the look with a thin layer of the Lisa Eldridge foundation (reviewed <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2022/04/lisa-eldridge-foundation-review.html?m=1" target="_blank">here</a>). I'm almost at the end of the bottle which I've been using for 2 years now. I can't remember the last time I finished a foundation, it's sure to be in my next empties post. I posted a video on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/olgreeneyesemma?igsh=MmkwOHkyNTVjcXc3&utm_source=qr" target="_blank">Instagram</a> this week titled <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C22lDETMTt2/?igsh=MWlzdzNlYXVjZHh4Yg==" target="_blank">My Base Makeup Routine</a> and that's pretty much the way I did my base for this look. I wanted it to look quite fresh to balance out the face gems. I used cream blush, the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CwmsSh5s7RM/?igsh=ZWhmeTlicDcwZHJk" target="_blank">Finding Ferdinand X Kackie</a> ones are so gorgeous. They sold out of the latest collection while I was checking out so sadly I missed out but if you're looking for a super creamy blush formula that's super easy to blend, the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3272494" target="_blank">Finding Ferdinand</a> formula is beautiful. You can also create your own custom shade using any Hex Code you like. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I used the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3540997" target="_blank">Vieve Skin Dew</a> on my cheekbones and I definitely want to get a full size of this as it's such a stunning liquid highlighter. It can be mixed in with other products too such as foundation, concealer, blush, lipstick etc. You can see in the video of this look below that I began the eyes with mascara as I wanted to make sure I was applying the face gems in the right place. You can also see me applying the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3541006" target="_blank">Clio Kill Lash Mascara</a> which is one of the best waterproof mascaras I've ever used. This is the 02 Volume Curling formula and it really does hold a curl all day as well as giving your lashes length and definition. It does take some elbow grease to remove but it's so worth it if you like a waterproof formula. I was sent this from <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3541058" target="_blank">Stylevana</a> along with some other K-Beauty products and they gave me a code, SHOPGREEN that gives you an extra 10% off your entire order or 15% off if you spend over €48. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The final touch was the lips which again I wanted to keep quite fresh. I added some definition to my lipline using two different <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3541097" target="_blank">NYX Lip Pencils</a>. Mauve is a great shade for me as it's slightly deeper than my natural lip colour, if you're a fellow cool-toned pink lip person, definitely check out this shade. I then used Nude Truffle which is more of a cool neutral sculpting shade on me and I used it to contour my lips ever so slightly. I blended the liners into my lips and then added <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3272488" target="_blank">Lisa Eldridge Gloss Embrace</a> in the shade Silent Sun on top as it's a sheer gloss with some subtle warm gold sparkle. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I loved how this look turned out and I felt great wearing it. I toyed with the idea of doing some gold eyelashes or bringing the face gems down to connect to my lash line but I really liked the floating shape and I think it makes for a much more ethereal look. You could also up the glamour by adding individual lashes, more coverage, or a different lip product. This would be such a fun makeup look for a night out or even for a wedding. It's like wearing your jewelry on your face. </span></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

She has a lot of celebrity clients including Lucy Boynton, Olivia Wilde, Natasha Lyonne and many more. Last week she posted a look she had done on Natasha Lyonne for a pre-Golden Globes party. You can see the video <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1ziYjErQYw/?igsh=eG1yczhobmRleHI4" target="_blank">here</a>. I was immediately obsessed and I knew I'd have to try to recreate it. After a difficult end to last year, struggling with my mental health and finally asking for help after a bit of a breakdown, my creative juices had not been flowing. I have been wearing quite minimal, pared-back makeup as I haven't had that creative spark for a couple of months. When I saw this look I was itching to take out my products to see if I had similar shades to try it out myself. The only product that Jo mentioned using was <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3344271" target="_blank">Violette_FR</a> Yeux Paint in the shade <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3344270" target="_blank">Scarabée d'Or</a> which is a shade I have lusted after since it was released. I bought the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3326863" target="_blank">Lisa Eldridge Liquid Lurex Eyeshadow</a> in the shade Titania when it was released at the end of 2022 and while it's not exact, they are quite similar. Scarabée d'Or is a green-gold whereas Titania is more of an antique gold. I thought Titania would be the perfect product for this look as I find the Liquid Lurex formula so easy to use (you can read my review <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2022/04/lisa-eldridge-liquid-lurex-eyeshadow.html" target="_blank">here</a>). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Last week I saw another makeup look (watch it <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C17bB3bplOi/?igsh=MXgzZXA4YmJ6ZmUzYg==" target="_blank">here</a>) that I adored which was by Donni Davy on Dylan Mulvaney for the Golden Globes. It was a cool pink sparkly eye using Donni's <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3344273" target="_blank">Half Magic</a> products all of which I happened to have in my collection. She layered them in a way that I thought would be the perfect compliment to the gold for the recreation of the Jo Baker look. She used the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3326408" target="_blank">Chromaddiction Matte</a> in the shade Wild Caught which is a liquid eyeshadow in a salmon pink shade. Then she patted on the powder eyeshadow in the shade <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2186680" target="_blank">Pretty Robot</a> which is an iridescent lilac. Finally, she added the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2157893" target="_blank">Glitterpuck Pressed Fairy Dust</a> in the shade Dopamine Sparkle on top. I decided to use this exact combination but in a more graphic shape and it worked really well. I also added a tiny bit of the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3344274" target="_blank">Glitterpill</a> liner in the shade Money Plz on the lower inner lash line as I thought it would make the gold pop a bit more. I love the Half Magic products and I've used them over and over as they're so easy to use and you can create a quick, fun look so easily. You can read my full review of the brand <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2022/07/half-magic-beauty-review.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The main focus of the look was the eyes so I wanted a muted, neutral lip colour and <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3326880" target="_blank">Lisa Eldridge Velvet Fawn</a> is such a great shade to pair with stronger eye looks. I sculpted my lips with two different lip liners from NYX (which I have linked to below) as Natasha's lips in the original look were softly defined but quite muted in colour. I also used Velvet Fawn on my cheeks as a blush mixed with the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2059794" target="_blank">Elevated Glow Highlighter</a> in Pink Moon. I wanted something muted on the cheeks too and I figured that matching lips and cheeks would be a good way to tie the look together. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">For my complexion, I used some products I have been trying out over the past month or so. I used the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3344275" target="_blank">Heimish Artless Glow Tinted Sunscreen SPF50+</a> first as it adds sun protection, hydration and radiance all in one. I was sent this product from <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3344276" target="_blank">Stylevana</a> along with some other K-Beauty products and I've been loving it, particularly for my Winter skin. You can see me applying it <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1KWquUMTjQ/?igsh=MThhODJuY3RtNnU5Mg==" target="_blank">here</a>. I used a touch of the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3324676" target="_blank">YSL Beauty Touche Éclat Blur Primer</a> just in the centre of my face and I finished with the new <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3344306" target="_blank">Prada Beauty Reveal Skin Optimizing Foundation</a>. I received this in a press drop in the middle of December after being invited into the new Prada Beauty counter in <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3327017" target="_blank">Brown Thomas</a>. I had heard glowing reviews of the foundation so I was excited to try it myself. I have been wearing it almost non-stop for the past month save for a few days when I wore other foundations. I keep wanting to use this because it makes my skin look great. I don't want to write too much about it yet because I plan on writing a full review but it's a medium coverage, long-wearing foundation with a soft matte finish. There are 33 shades and I was matched to shade LC5 which is as close as I could ever get to an exact match. I would have probably bought LN5 if I had ordered online so I'm glad I got shade matched at the counter. I have a neutral skin tone but the LN5 shade was a touch too yellow for me so if you can I'd recommend trying to get matched in person. If there's anything else you'd like to know about the foundation just send me a DM on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/olgreeneyesemma?igsh=MmkwOHkyNTVjcXc3&utm_source=qr" target="_blank">Instagram</a> but in the meantime, I'll be working on the full review. Hopefully, you can see from the photos below just how natural but beautiful it looks on the skin. I'm so impressed! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>I took photos in natural daylight, both direct and indirect sunlight so hopefully you can see how the makeup really looks. </span>I filmed the makeup application for Instagram which you can see <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2IeODMslQT/?igsh=enVhZG9lcm9pNGxh" target="_blank">here</a> and I've also uploaded it to YouTube which you can see below. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I had planned on doing this much sooner but I think having the perspective of a year of using these products is much more valuable for a review. I have compiled about 20 looks using the palettes so you can see how I’ve been wearing them over the past year. I've used them much more than that but these are the times I managed to take photos. I've also used them many times in combination with other eyeshadows but for this review, I wanted to just include looks using only the Lisa Eldridge eyeshadows because </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>otherwise there would be too many photos. </span><span>I also wanted to have somewhere that people could see all of the looks I've done using the palettes as I know it can be hard to search for things on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/olgreeneyesemma?igsh=ZGNjOWZkYTE3MQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr" target="_blank">Instagram</a>. It's all well and good if I say I love a product a couple of weeks after getting it but I think seeing how I have integrated a product into my everyday makeup collection is the best way to gauge my true thoughts on a product. I was also aware that these palettes have been in and out of stock and I was reluctant to review something that people weren’t able to readily buy. <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3237157" target="_blank">Myth</a>, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3154662" target="_blank">Vega</a> and <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3154663" target="_blank">Cinnabar</a> are currently out of stock in the UK and EU however all of the palettes are in stock in the US. If you follow me on Instagram I usually update my stories when I see that something is back in stock. I realised it could be helpful to write this post before there is another restock so that if you have been thinking about buying one of them you can see how I've used them and whether they are something that would suit your makeup wants and needs. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">There are lots of reference photos in this review including close-ups of the eyeshadows on the eyes, swatches and makeup looks. I’ll be discussing the packaging, the shades, the formulas, the pricing and the refill element. These three palettes were sent to me by the Lisa Eldridge team for review purposes. I was asked to choose three palettes and I chose these three because the other two palettes <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3237172" target="_blank">Muse</a> and <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3237157" target="_blank">Myth</a> have more shades that contain carmine, an ingredient that gives my eyes some trouble. Some shades in Cinnabar and <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3154662" target="_blank">Vega</a> contain carmine but I haven’t had any issues with them. If eyeshadows get into my eyes or if I use a liner that contains carmine my eyes swell and get red and sticky so I didn't want to risk getting <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3237172" target="_blank">Muse</a> or <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3237157" target="_blank">Myth</a>. I plan on buying some of the single eyeshadows from those two palettes when they are back in stock. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I was so excited to receive these palettes as I loved the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2136721" target="_blank">Liquid Lurex Eyeshadows</a> (reviewed <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2022/04/lisa-eldridge-liquid-lurex-eyeshadow.html" target="_blank">here</a>) and I was so eager to try a Lisa Eldridge powder eyeshadow formula. Sorcery was the palette I was most excited about, especially after seeing Lisa wearing it in her <a href="https://youtu.be/F4p-8cvLnho?feature=shared" target="_blank">YouTube video</a> talking about the launch. Greens and blues are two of my favourite shades to wear on my eyes and I love a blinding shimmer so this palette is a dream for me. I loved the idea of having a cool and warm palette too. I also adore purples so I was disappointed to not get Myth but I didn’t want to risk it in case the eyeshadows containing carmine irritated my eyes. But I would definitely have chosen that palette as I love those shades. There are a lot of photos and I have a lot of thoughts so let's get into the review. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZLiHoOelHX6xmemg3nu4LXkxK7PQFgTCsfacLwNRnCZRkTkTJth85LFyubXXcWgmf9ci6rm17vTEhByMwzKxZkHyKNfXiKaC-wSr1_K7HLLWbakpHCyn8poRbntoVlMqo0HMShEq7Nr1AhBQTJPXyIAJy8xba6IO0UaV10DxAtRUpO9EdJgc9Eu-mKfU/s4088/LEP21.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2725" data-original-width="4088" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZLiHoOelHX6xmemg3nu4LXkxK7PQFgTCsfacLwNRnCZRkTkTJth85LFyubXXcWgmf9ci6rm17vTEhByMwzKxZkHyKNfXiKaC-wSr1_K7HLLWbakpHCyn8poRbntoVlMqo0HMShEq7Nr1AhBQTJPXyIAJy8xba6IO0UaV10DxAtRUpO9EdJgc9Eu-mKfU/w640-h426/LEP21.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGpTRKPQ7Bl93dnXItUC4d8N5rlY48gvQIVL9cEdn4ettz50QDT9sSkgTdh7IG3sV64GNeRQ9a-qguQkeLrezPmAVMrHR1iDK29e7e-ybWr2lA9czERYd1pCpOvTLMF7IqK2-ZWz-E8hQK0Aa9irBsvMjYGsZl-I5g8IKV3v8utR_61ishUcBhxJ4bDQI/s3823/LEP20.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2548" data-original-width="3823" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGpTRKPQ7Bl93dnXItUC4d8N5rlY48gvQIVL9cEdn4ettz50QDT9sSkgTdh7IG3sV64GNeRQ9a-qguQkeLrezPmAVMrHR1iDK29e7e-ybWr2lA9czERYd1pCpOvTLMF7IqK2-ZWz-E8hQK0Aa9irBsvMjYGsZl-I5g8IKV3v8utR_61ishUcBhxJ4bDQI/w640-h426/LEP20.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>The Packaging</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I’ll begin by discussing the packaging and the refill system. The palettes are slightly larger than palm-sized (depending on the size of your hands) and they have a magnetic closure. The finish is a sleek matte gold in what I am assuming is plastic which makes them durable for Makeup Artist kits, traveling, or bringing out in your makeup bag. There are 6 pans in each palette and a hole at the back of each one so that you can push a pin through to take out the individual pans and rearrange them or add a refill. I particularly like that there is no added sponge applicator or brush so the palette is just the eyeshadows and it means there is no excess packaging. The top of the palette is slightly domed with a seam running across it so you wouldn't be able to stack them on top of each other which is the only thing that people might find awkward about the packaging. I keep mine in their boxes anyway and it doesn't take up much extra room so that doesn't bother me. The packaging has a vintage feel to it but still looks modern and fits in perfectly with her other products. It is comfortable in the hand and not too heavy, the mirror is a good size which I often use when I'm doing my makeup.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Lisa said that the whole idea was to create palettes that would mimic the colour-coded mixed palettes in her own makeup kit. She made them refillable so that you could easily pop out the shades and create your own bespoke palette depending on your preferences. When these palettes launched there were a lot of people who were disappointed that there wasn't the option to create your own palette. I don't know the exact reason why but I assume it would have been logistically quite difficult and more expensive as you'd have to fulfill custom orders. I know some people just bought the refills and put them into their own magnetic palettes which is another option. The refills are currently sold out in the EU (there are some still available in the UK) but hopefully, they will be restocked soon so I can buy another French Grey and Raw Sienna. I don't think anyone ever uses all of the shades in an eyeshadow palette equally so having the refills is such a great idea. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">On her website, there is a quote from Lisa stating <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Cormorant; text-align: center;">“I wanted my Eyeshadow Palettes to be a closely edited wardrobe of shades, inspired by the self-created palettes I've always carried in my kit with the shades and textures I absolutely rely on.” Each of the palettes has a cohesive colour story that makes sense for both makeup artists and makeup consumers. Hopefully, you can see from the photos below the diversity of looks that you can achieve from each of the palettes. The inspiration behind each palette is mentioned on her website too, something I find fascinating. Cinnabar is "inspired by the natural pigments our earth has to offer, particularly historic paint colours and art". Vega is "inspired by the graphic optical artistry and illusionism and the infinite nature of the galaxy". Sorcery is "inspired by medieval tales and legends...Sorcery is a story of the magicians, fairs and fantasy of the middle ages". The Myth Palette "takes its inspiration from the Mauve Decade and Victorian Gothic hues". Finally, Muse is "inspired in part by the Belle Epoque with its painterly washed world of romance and by the sensuous, smoky rosewood undertones of [her] <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3237200" target="_blank">Velvet Muse Lip Colour</a>". </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Cormorant; text-align: center;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Cormorant; text-align: center;">The six-pan palette is an ideal size because it's not overwhelming but there is enough diversity that you won't be always creating the same look. It's a comfortable amount of shades that also allows for a variation in the depth of the shades so that more skin tones can wear them. There is something for every makeup user whether you're a lover of bold jewel tones or more of a neutrals lover. The only issue that I can see is if you only wear mattes or you only wear shimmers you're probably not going to want a palette of eyeshadows with various finishes because you won't get the use from them. In that instance, these palettes probably won't be for you. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">There are six formulas- Seamless Matte, Velvet, Luminous, Satin/Metallic, Lustre and Top Coat. I have 5 of the 6 in these 3 palettes, the only one I don’t have is a Lustre. I'm a big fan of the shades but the formulas are where these palettes really shine. They are unlike any other eyeshadows I've tried. </span><span style="font-size: medium;">I always use a primer with every eyeshadow because I have quite oily eyelids. I did try these eyeshadows without primer and as I expected they did crease after a while, although it depends on the formula, some last longer than others. I find the mattes creased on me sooner than the metallics. It's clearly not something that has put me off as I'm used to wearing primer with all of my eyeshadows. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">All of the formulas can be applied with a brush or fingers but I find that the seamless mattes and the velvets work best with a brush. They really do blend seamlessly and effortlessly. The Luminous, Metallic and Top Coat formulas have the most impact when applied with a finger but if you want a more subtle wash of the eyeshadow, using a brush works best. The formulas feel different from all of the other eyeshadows in my collection, they almost feel like a cream to powder, they have a kind of grip to them that makes them adhere to the eyelids so well. </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>The silicone slip of the formula means that they would work well on all ages too as they have such a refined, smooth texture that I find is very forgiving on my eye area. </span><span>They are easily blended with each other, with the </span><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2136721" target="_blank">Liquid Lurex Eyeshadows</a><span> and with all other eyeshadow formulas I’ve tried so far. I have found any brush I've used has worked perfectly well with these formulas, but as a side note, the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3237206" target="_blank">Lisa Eldridge brushes</a> are the most exquisite I have ever tried. Their softness and ease of use are unparalleled in my collection. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I don't think I've ever hit pan on an eyeshadow before except for maybe the first Naked palette about 12 years ago when it was the only eyeshadow palette I owned. I hit pan on French Grey a while ago because it is such a great matte shade. I've made a significant dent in Raw Sienna, Turbulence, Deep Ochre and Mercurial too. I thought <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3154662" target="_blank">Vega</a> would be my least used palette but it's by far the one I have used the most. It's an ideal neutral palette to pair with any lipstick and the formulas are reliable so I know I can get a quick look and I don't have to worry about it. We were away for a few days earlier this year and I took <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3154662" target="_blank">Vega</a> with me as I knew I wouldn't want to spend too much time doing makeup but I knew I could get both an everyday look and something more glamourous for the evening with this palette. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I’ve used <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3154662" target="_blank">Vega</a> the most, then <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3154663" target="_blank">Cinnabar</a> and lastly <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2431042" target="_blank">Sorcery</a>. However, I have the most looks below using <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2431042" target="_blank">Sorcery</a> as there is probably more to showcase with the shades in that palette. You can see that I’ve done some more graphic looks and the formulas work really well on a thin brush as a liner or sharp eye look. You can also spritz your brush to get more impact from the metallic and luminous shades. If you are an eyeshadow novice or someone who prefers a more subtle eye look, the formulas are quite versatile and can be worn more sheer and also built up for more opacity and impact. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If you’re reading this to know whether I recommend these palettes the short answer is a resounding yes! If I hadn’t been sent these three I definitely would have bought <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2431042" target="_blank">Sorcery</a> and probably Vega too. I do not need new eyeshadows as I have quite an extensive collection because of my work as a Content Creator. However, along with the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3237206" target="_blank">Hindash Beautopsy Palette</a>, these are my most used palettes of the past year by far. If I’m getting ready quickly or going to an event I always use these palettes because they’re so reliable. Vega and <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3154663" target="_blank">Cinnabar</a> are ideal for pairing with bold lips. They make excellent palettes for events and I think they would be great for bridal makeup too. I know that I can create a softly sculpted eye look and then add depth, definition, or sparkle if I want to. It’s made me really think about my larger eyeshadow palettes and I don’t think I would be inclined to buy one in the future. Whether or not these palettes are for you completely depends on your taste, your makeup usage and your budget. You may already have similar shades in your collection but if you don’t I think these palettes are such a good buy for beginners, makeup enthusiasts and makeup artists alike. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For me, it's about the overall experience. Some brands may already have similar shades and colour stories but it would be difficult to beat the packaging, formulas and pricing of these palettes. I'm really happy to have these compact, beautiful, easy-to-use eyeshadow palettes. As someone with a more extensive makeup collection than the average person and as someone who has tested out a lot of eyeshadow formulas over the past 20 years, I'm happy to see something new and exciting in its reliability and performance. These are the kinds of palettes that I want to use every day because I know I will always be happy with the results and I won't have to work hard to make them look good. I have a small child and not a lot of time to do makeup most days so having reliable makeup that makes me feel good is a must. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg6dckFKqSTB4eMuqS8hLwudtpvfxVlMwRtqJCs5Ov1hVB5e6kQSy5ad-56fdx4kp956TTbwwgEjQQYPN2eIONLWmdgx5ITovQN9wkzW-Rk09bL-5Lkw1Ic_0wpRjLlD7kNYvqzi6761_kom701fDCm_wU74H5d6NhwRJrT0UwAlSS7O7NypVRYyQ6Qpc/s4088/LEP28.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2725" data-original-width="4088" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg6dckFKqSTB4eMuqS8hLwudtpvfxVlMwRtqJCs5Ov1hVB5e6kQSy5ad-56fdx4kp956TTbwwgEjQQYPN2eIONLWmdgx5ITovQN9wkzW-Rk09bL-5Lkw1Ic_0wpRjLlD7kNYvqzi6761_kom701fDCm_wU74H5d6NhwRJrT0UwAlSS7O7NypVRYyQ6Qpc/w640-h426/LEP28.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4bKoppYfsqUuNZFcZYfRad1-S4QvWgsfJwhWM7O8ZR_T-0UvVRqzv5cIoitMsk8bnQkPP06K3CZgav9K9C1Z3xm7G0xcfgT8EcwQJKJu7ED3p-CVbuvthVKCyS1LpuVIF6m-D4AxJUXi4PjFns73DmpnpyW2xwtxJHbO_ZdOmKIgAhGOqocidkyGZZQw/s3815/LEP22.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2542" data-original-width="3815" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4bKoppYfsqUuNZFcZYfRad1-S4QvWgsfJwhWM7O8ZR_T-0UvVRqzv5cIoitMsk8bnQkPP06K3CZgav9K9C1Z3xm7G0xcfgT8EcwQJKJu7ED3p-CVbuvthVKCyS1LpuVIF6m-D4AxJUXi4PjFns73DmpnpyW2xwtxJHbO_ZdOmKIgAhGOqocidkyGZZQw/w640-h426/LEP22.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>The Pricing</b> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The palettes are priced at €59 for 6 pans. In comparison to similar products from other Makeup Artist owned brands, quads from <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3214636" target="_blank">Victoria Beckham</a> and <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3214666" target="_blank">Pat Mc Grath</a> are €66 and €62 respectively. The <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3214684" target="_blank">Charlotte Tilbury</a> quads are €53. The Lisa Eldridge palettes are therefore the best value in comparison to these other similar brands. The refills are €14 which is more than the price per shadow in the palettes, which is to be expected. I think the pricing is very fair considering the packaging and the formulas. I think €62/€66 for a quad is quite expensive. I had a Charlotte Tilbury quad when the brand first launched and it was €50 at the time. While I did like it, the Lisa Eldridge formula is much more my kind of formula and more intuitive and special compared to other brands I have used.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I know a lot of people would love the see a build-your-own palette option with an empty palette and the option to choose your own six shades. If you only like mattes you could make up a palette with just matte shades or a palette with just the metallics and luminous finish shades. I know that would involve a lot of logistics but I think in the future it's something that the brand could do as I know it would be a popular option. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

As I have been compiling the photos and information for over a year I wanted to be as thorough as possible. If you follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/olgreeneyesemma?igsh=MmkwOHkyNTVjcXc3&utm_source=qr" target="_blank">Instagram</a> or if you have read any of my other Lisa Eldridge reviews, you'll have noticed that I'm a big fan of the brand. I always hope that I will love her products and these palettes are no exception. I love them for many reasons but the reasons I love them may be the reasons they are not the products for you. You may prefer different packaging and formulas and maybe the shades aren't what you like to wear. Everyone has different preferences and I'm sure there will be people who will read this review and not want to buy these products. I wanted to give as much information as possible to help people decide if these eyeshadows seem like something they would like to own. After a year of using these palettes, I am so happy that I have them in my collection and I'm still excited every time I use them. If there is anything else you'd like to know or if you'd like to see a video on a specific look, just leave me a comment or send me a DM on Instagram. I would love to know if you have any of these palettes and what you think. Are there any colour stories you'd like to see Lisa release in the future? </span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="text-align: justify;">Thank you for taking the time to read this post, I hope you found it to be informative.

You can read the others <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/search?q=empties" target="_blank">here</a>. If this happens to be the first one of these posts that you are reading I'll begin with an explanation as to why I started compiling these blog posts last year. I wanted to keep track of the products I was using as well as my spending habits and the products that I have been sent by brands to review. It's a way for me to be completely transparent about my consumption of beauty products while providing more thorough reviews than I can on my other social media platforms. I find it satisfying to see how many products I have fully used up and how much I spent versus how much</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> I buy myself. I write a short review once I've completely finished the products letting you know whether I think it's worth the money. Whether I would buy it again or spend my own money on it if it was sent as a press sample. I also mention the amount of product, the shelf life, where it was made as well as the price. At the end, I have the totals of everything, how much I spent versus the cost of everything that was a PR sample. I hope it's helpful or interesting to have everything laid out this way. It's definitely been an eye-opener for me and it's made me think about what I spend, and where I can save. There are only 24 products to get through this time, so let's get started. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz8gHNBCqUAvMwVF34lefj82yg9nNMq47EXuNt_RI1O8W0Nkpdu0fWajBHwLsB1RNKZucAhocnWIwzrNYLZN9yMi5V4EyWQOqmuYTQTVaNCs_m0bP8H2SVlgagWU7_kb6u0Pq1BMpBJB2hiR3h5WVwlFDCMjsvKJqhNScllrikK_TNAaVhEElRe5SbiwI/s3264/IMG_9891.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2176" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz8gHNBCqUAvMwVF34lefj82yg9nNMq47EXuNt_RI1O8W0Nkpdu0fWajBHwLsB1RNKZucAhocnWIwzrNYLZN9yMi5V4EyWQOqmuYTQTVaNCs_m0bP8H2SVlgagWU7_kb6u0Pq1BMpBJB2hiR3h5WVwlFDCMjsvKJqhNScllrikK_TNAaVhEElRe5SbiwI/w426-h640/IMG_9891.png" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3133206" target="_blank">Urban Decay Perversion Waterproof Mascara</a></i> 10.2ml, 6m, Made in USA €28</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I have used the regular Perversion mascara in the past and I loved it. I received a press drop with this waterproof one and kept it until the Summer as I usually suffer from hayfever and watering eyes. This is a great waterproof mascara. Like most waterproof formulas it's more on the dry side which makes it better at holding a curl. You can see me wearing it <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CvNBoSeryV4/?igsh=NzBmMjdhZWRiYQ==" target="_blank">here</a>. I like to curl my eyelashes first using the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2987049" target="_blank">Surratt Relevée Eyelash Curler</a> and then apply two coats of this mascara and it made my lashes look amazing. The only downside I find to waterproof mascaras is that they can feel like they are dried out faster than regular formulas because they are drier to begin with and I find once they've been open for a month or so they can be more difficult to build up because of the formula. If you have straight lashes there is nothing like a waterproof mascara to help your lashes stay looking curled. Another downside is the removal but if you don't mind that, the effect you can get from a waterproof formula is unrivaled. I would definitely buy this again. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3133231" target="_blank">Lancôme Lash Idôle Mascara</a></i> 8ml, 6m, Made in France €30</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>I've had this mascara a few times now, I bought it myself and I've received it in press drops a couple of times since then. E</span><span>very time I use it I love it more. It has a curved, slightly tapered wand that lifts your lashes and fans them out coating the inner and outer lashes easily. It has one of those formulas that can be built up but doesn't become clumpy. It gives you the mascara holy trinity of length, definition and volume while behaving like a waterproof mascara without needing an oil-based cleanser for removal. It's one of my favourite mascaras of all time and I will definitely be buying it again. You can see me applying it <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CvNBoSeryV4/?igsh=NzBmMjdhZWRiYQ==" target="_blank">here</a>. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">****<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3133243" target="_blank">Maybelline The Colossal Go Extreme Mascara</a></i> 9.5ml, 6m, Made in Italy €11.99</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I liked this mascara but I didn't love it. It gives your lashes great volume but it doesn't get quite clumpy when you build it up which inevitably leads to it flaking off. One of the things I don't like about this is the packaging, I find the wand difficult to hold, the brush is quite big and I find the shape doesn't work as well on my eyelashes as other mascaras. </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>I am a big fan of Maybelline mascaras but I prefer Lash Sensational, Sky High and The Falsies. </span><span>You can see me applying it </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cy33TtCMLu1/?igsh=NzBmMjdhZWRiYQ==" target="_blank">here</a><span>. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">**<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3133250" target="_blank">Glossier Boy Brow</a></i> 3.12g, 6m, Made in USA €22</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I think my love affair with Boy Brow has come to an end. While I do still like it and I haven't exactly found a replacement tinted brow gel, I just don't think I need it. It's expensive for what it is and I find it dries out faster than it should. I rarely make Glossier orders anymore and it wouldn't be worth it to place an order just for this product. I use my <a href="https://www.westbarnco.com/en-ie/products/soap-brows-extra-strong" target="_blank">Soap Brows Extra Strong Hold</a> most days and at the moment I have a <a href="https://www.boots.ie/maybelline-tattoo-brow-36hr-brow-gel-10324606?cm_mmc=ROI_PPC-_-Shopping-_-Shopping_GA-_-Maybelline&utm_source=roi_ppc&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=shopping_ga&utm_term=Maybelline&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA-bmsBhAGEiwAoaQNmjHDnUfMnOdXK6TdNu7tPYPg_kvB9Lh1ivWJ_avWMYIBxVqwGnRwnRoC0aUQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds" target="_blank">Maybelline Tattoo Brow 36hr Brow Gel</a> which does the job.

This is the most expensive cleanser I've ever used. It's often on offer for around €72 but that's still incredibly expensive for a cleanser. It's a lovely cleanser and it works well but I could never justify that price. I'd much rather buy the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3134410" target="_blank">Lisa Eldridge one</a> (reviewed <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2023/10/empties-6-1200-worth-of-beauty-products.html" target="_blank">here</a>) as it's also a treatment. The cleanser below is 5 times less expensive and does the same thing, I don't think anyone needs to spend €90 on a cleanser. This one is often included in Lancôme gifts with purchase so if you want to try it, that's a good way to do it without spending a small fortune. It does have quite a strong scent which I don't mind but it's something to keep in mind.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2443175" target="_blank">Beauty of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm</a></i> 100m, 24m, Made in Korea €17.22</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I bought this on a whim when I was placing an order with <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3134422" target="_blank">Stylevana</a> earlier in the year. I knew I'd need another cleanser and I was buying the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3134431" target="_blank">Beauty of Joseon sunscreen</a> so I decided to try this too as it was reduced to around €13. I didn't realise until afterward that it's apparently a viral product on Tik Tok (whatever that means). I was so impressed by this cleanser, it contains rice and grain complex extracts which have amino acids and minerals to help moisturise the skin. It doesn't have much of a scent which I know will suit a lot of people. It removes makeup well and leaves your skin feeling soft and hydrated. It also has a thin compartment on top which has a little spatula so that you can scoop out the balm hygienically. I will definitely repurchase this in the future. Stylevana has recently given me a discount code which is SHOPGREEN and gives you 10% off your entire order or 15% off orders over €48 including products already reduced. It does take a few weeks for your order to arrive but as long as you don't mind </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>you can get some really great</span><span> products at great prices. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">**<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3133312" target="_blank">Garnier Express 2-in-1 Eye Make-Up Remover</a></i> 125ml, 6m, Made in Poland €4.99</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I've mentioned this product in multiple empties posts as it's something I repurchase again and again. I stock up on these when Boots has them on offer for a third off and I use them if I'm wearing waterproof eye makeup as it removes it so easily. I'll continue to buy this as it's such a good price and I go through them quite quickly. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3133321" target="_blank">Lancôme Rose Sugar Scrub</a></i> 100ml, 18m, Made in France €39</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I received this as a gift with purchase press drop and I had never used it before. I tend to stick to chemical exfoliants like AHAs and PHAs and I rarely use a physical exfoliant anymore. It contains sugar grains, acacia honey and rose water to gently buff away dead skin cells. As you can probably guess it has a rose scent which I like but I know that it might not be for everyone. It also has a slightly warming feel on the skin. I enjoyed using this much more than I thought I would. I think most millennials have been scarred by a certain well-known apricot face scrub and haven't touched physical exfoliants since. Skincare formulas have come a long way since the 90s and considering the price of this product I would expect it to work. I know it's probably an unpopular opinion in the beauty industry but I actually quite like a physical exfoliant. There's something about it that makes you feel more clean and smooth. This formula is comfortable and gentle and doesn't leave your skin feeling stripped. I don't think I'd trade in my AHAs yet but if you're a fan of a face scrub, I think you'll find it hard to beat this one.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://www.lookfantastic.ie/lancome-bi-facil-makeup-remover-125ml/11077850.html?switchcurrency=EUR&shippingcountry=IE&gbraid=0AAAAAqBeCPE5PbxRBs3BBO2-8nuhpz6Gu&affil=awin&utm_content=Genie+Shopping+CSS&utm_term=Comparison+Shopping+Service+%28CSS%29&utm_source=AWin_259955&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=AffiliateWin&sv1=affiliate&sv_campaign_id=259955&awc=2082_1703864125_f2817aab3cd14461390ad21a19a78392&btn_ref=srctok-ea799825b3692625" target="_blank">Lancôme Bi-Facil Non-Oily Instant Cleanser Sensitive Eyes</a></i> 125ml, 6m, Made in France €32</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is yet another product that I have reviewed before in previous empties posts. I'll keep it short as I don't want to repeat myself too much. I loved using this product and it worked so well at easily removing any waterproof eye makeup. However, I think it's too expensive for a product that I got through so quickly. As I mentioned above, the Garnier one is only €4.99 for the same amount of product and there's not a world of difference in the performance. I can get 6 of the Garner one for the price of this one and if it's on offer I can get even more so to me it's a no-brainer.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3133340" target="_blank">Naturium Phyto-Glow Lip Balm</a></i> (Clear) 10ml, Made in USA €13.80 </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I wanted to try Naturium for a while after seeing many of the Content Creators I follow saying positive things about their products. Space NK started stocking the brand earlier this year and I decided to buy the lip balm when it was finally back in stock. The price point of Naturium products is quite affordable so it seemed like a safe bet. It's great to see a brand at this price point that also gets great reviews from people in the industry and consumers alike. I mentioned the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3134463" target="_blank">Summer Fridays Lip Butter</a> in my last empties post and I started using this lip balm when I was finished that one. It's just under half the price of the Summer Fridays one (although 5ml less) and while I prefer the texture of the Lip Butter as it's thinner but still feels nourishing, I think the Phyto-Glow is an excellent lip balm. It comes in 5 shades on Space NK and the Naturium website has another 4 shades which they released quite recently. The formula contains shea butter, squalane and cupuaçu butter and a natural vanilla scent which I love. As I mentioned it's a thicker formula and I found I had to really squeeze the tube to get some product out so that's just something to note if you have any dexterity issues. I recently bought two of the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3134473" target="_blank">Rhode Peptide Lip Treatments</a> and both have a grainy consistency when cold. If I keep them in my pocket they warm up and the graininess melts to a smooth consistency but I was disappointed that the formula wasn't what it should be considering the price and the fact that I'm sure Hailey Bieber has the resources to hire someone to make sure the formulas are perfect. I will continue to use the ones I have but I wouldn't repurchase them, I'd opt for the Naturium or Summer Fridays lip balms instead. </span></p><div><br /></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC1C0NoHUZW6CQbPaZTd-MzTi5Uj0Y3oCj_5gjwOFlZqK_6ACHQ0XN3zAoR9JcYwLqshyphenhyphenH6iM00S6OVyraFac60j3mztJZvHyq-qGOEId-MFKP95Ux5Xeba8mfZp20lFBjEnzMcXEYUeTneMqGVA1aLkGjHbrtZgcbYW9zpJycLQ7ym-qrve7-nYJKXOs/s3264/IMG_9895.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2176" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC1C0NoHUZW6CQbPaZTd-MzTi5Uj0Y3oCj_5gjwOFlZqK_6ACHQ0XN3zAoR9JcYwLqshyphenhyphenH6iM00S6OVyraFac60j3mztJZvHyq-qGOEId-MFKP95Ux5Xeba8mfZp20lFBjEnzMcXEYUeTneMqGVA1aLkGjHbrtZgcbYW9zpJycLQ7ym-qrve7-nYJKXOs/w426-h640/IMG_9895.png" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>*</span><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3133351" target="_blank">Lancôme Rénergie Yeux Lifting Filler Eye Cream</a></i><span> 5ml, 6m, Made in France €21</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I love the Rénergie Serum so I was hoping the eye cream would be just as good. It can be difficult to assess a product just using a sample size but I think I got a good feel for this eye cream and I thought it did what it claimed it would. It contains hyaluronic acid and peptides and it's supposed to lift and tighten your eye area with regular use. I know that it was reformulated recently so I'm not sure which formula I was using but I liked how my eye area looked and felt and how makeup applied over it. It's €63 for the full size which is 15mls so it's not in my budget but I do think it's a lovely product. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3133359" target="_blank">Lancôme Génefique Yeux Light-Pearl Eye & Lash Concentrate</a></i> 5ml, 6m, Made in France €18</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">I have wanted to try this product for a while now and I was delighted to receive this mini size in a press drop. The full size is 20ml and €72 so the 5ml size was a good sample that allowed me to get to grips with the product. I loved everything about this, the cool metal applicator, the texture and what it did for my eye area. It contains pre and pro-biotic extracts, caffeine and arginine among other beneficial ingredients. The applicator is ideal for anyone who wakes up with puffy eyes as it cools and soothes the skin. It also contains mica so it will give the under eyes that illuminated look. I'd absolutely love to buy the full size but it is quite expensive so I'll have to stick to my <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3134488" target="_blank">L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Filler Eye Serum</a> for now. </span></h2><div><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;"><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">**<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3133371" target="_blank">The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution Exfoliating Facial</a></i> 30ml, 12m €10.20</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I've had a few bottles of this mask over the years and I probably will buy it again. It comes with a lot of caveats as it has quite a high concentration of acids. You're not recommended to use it unless you are an experienced user of chemical exfoliants and they don't recommend it if you have sensitive, peeling or compromised skin. It's also advised to only leave it on for ten minutes maximum and to use high sun protection afterward. I would also suggest doing a patch test beforehand just to be on the safe side. I've never had any issues using this product. It can sting the skin slightly but I don't find it uncomfortable at all. I definitely notice the difference after using it but I wouldn't use it too often. I know there's been some controversy around this product but I think once you follow the recommendations and instructions it should be ok. I would always proceed with caution with any product like this but it works well for me and I would buy it again. </span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3133381" target="_blank">bareMinerals Ageless Phyto-AHA Radiance Facial</a></i> 50ml, 12m, Made in USA €53</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This mask contains a plant-based alternative to AHAs so it's supposed to be more gentle on the skin. It has quite a strong, almost fruity scent which I didn't mind, and a light, gel texture. I didn't notice a huge difference after using this mask, as I mentioned above perhaps it's just not strong enough for my exfoliating needs but I couldn't justify spending €53 on something unless it completely wowed me. I'd rather spend that on the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3134501" target="_blank">bareMinerals Skinlongevity Long Life Herb Serum</a> which is one of my favourite skincare products. This wasn't for me but if you have sensitive skin it could be a good exfoliating mask to try. </span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p></span></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjje8oxE6ZGw_GBvdhrjd21dDqfbJUTJo_cOpLIan-UwhmNzZPCin0_vJNryJa9SyZl4i6LGOONZpZQ3Ukm9_9M_WgLlreNo6_gvpVCvI0i1KWp7sr79AvyIkJzHJVRRQVpzRh0HnmI9R5zauJwsH3yakXQzN-Z8rtBBkPGYp8tc-2iTDNC5OoIR2lMfp0/s3264/IMG_9898.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2176" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjje8oxE6ZGw_GBvdhrjd21dDqfbJUTJo_cOpLIan-UwhmNzZPCin0_vJNryJa9SyZl4i6LGOONZpZQ3Ukm9_9M_WgLlreNo6_gvpVCvI0i1KWp7sr79AvyIkJzHJVRRQVpzRh0HnmI9R5zauJwsH3yakXQzN-Z8rtBBkPGYp8tc-2iTDNC5OoIR2lMfp0/w426-h640/IMG_9898.png" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3133416" target="_blank">Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Pore-Tight Toner</a></i> 150ml, 8m, Made in Korea €35.70</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is long expired and I didn't finish the whole bottle. It has a watery toner texture and it has that synthetic watermelon scent which I quite liked. I'll be honest, I kept forgetting I had this because I didn't find it did anything noticeable to my skin. I'm not sure whether the exfoliants weren't strong enough or it just didn't suit my skin needs but I didn't see a difference and therefore I wouldn't repurchase it. I prefer the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3134509" target="_blank">REN Daily AHA Tonic</a> for my gentle chemical exfoliant needs. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3133435" target="_blank">IT Cosmetics Hello Results Wrinkle-Reducing Daily Retinol Serum-in-Cream</a></i> 50ml, 12m, Made in USA €69</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I was excited to try this product because it's a hybrid retinol serum and hydrating cream. IT Cosmetics are known for their products being developed for people with rosacea and so this is a retinol product that is aimed at people who have more reactive skin. It contains a blend of free and encapsulated retinol along with niacinamide to help with dark spots, vitamin B5 to help support the skin barrier and vitamin E to soothe and calm the skin. It has a nice scent and a lightweight texture. They suggest using a moisturiser on top if you need more hydration. I also like the packaging as it is one of those pump containers that you press down and the exact amount it dispensed which is always handy. I would say this is an ideal starter retinol and perhaps that's why I didn't notice much of a difference when I used this product. I enjoyed using it and I didn't react to it as it's quite a hydrating, gentle formula. I prefer the retinol product I'm using at the moment and this is quite expensive so I wouldn't buy it again. It's not a bad product I just think it wasn't right for my skin needs. It comes in a 15ml size which would let you try it out before buying the full size. </span></p><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://ie.feelunique.com/p/CLARINS-Hydra-Essentiel-Night-Cream-50ml?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA-bmsBhAGEiwAoaQNmj6D6BZd7o1w93jByS0RFiWwlm71XOdSbSoTcqu3a7B_KzedtO-WUBoCKSoQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds#fo_c=1861&fo_k=4dd83ce62b6ef2e290ad821c434deeb4&fo_s=gplaie" target="_blank">Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Night Care</a></i> 50ml, 18m, Made in France €47</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is a beautiful night cream. It has a rich, comforting texture and it contains ingredients to hydrate and plump the skin. I found it an ideal moisturiser to lock in my night serum and my skin always felt and looked hydrated in the morning. It has a light, fresh scent which I love too. It lasted for a long time and I think it's quite a good price point all things considered. I'd definitely consider buying this myself as I found it such a lovely product to use and I liked the results. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3133486" target="_blank">Garnier Ambre Solaire Anti-Dark Spots & Anti-Pollution Super UV 50+</a></i> 40ml, 12m, Made in Germany €18</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I was excited to try this as I've been looking for more affordable sunscreens that wear well under makeup. This is a really great option if you're looking for something lightweight that won't interfere with any makeup you apply over it. The only thing that I found slightly unpleasant was how it feels to apply, I've never come across this before but it feels almost rough on my skin when I apply it but once it's blended in it feels perfectly fine. I'm not sure why but it's the only negative thing I can say about it and even at that it's not something that lasts so it's not a big deal. I still prefer my <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3134523" target="_blank">Beauty of Joseon sunscreen</a> as it's less expensive, there is more in the tube and I prefer the texture but this one is definitely worth trying especially if you're looking for a more affordable sunscreen that's easy to find in most pharmacies. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMtNipAxKfL2livT1NK5OA043nrdu26n88UB4SaqyDpy5wJ_VM36QIrG0ePiYRG5dqIUpuJWK9CvuCckjptXY9tOKt_h-tMDYf2rcoxYD4n8nW5eGobm5HfIQKsr6N15WPc-rfaAhEWwVuzDpb6dqzIqnhDclw1riNaHqiRx7p1HiXCiLW5Jscwhy6Qaw/s3264/IMG_9899.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2176" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMtNipAxKfL2livT1NK5OA043nrdu26n88UB4SaqyDpy5wJ_VM36QIrG0ePiYRG5dqIUpuJWK9CvuCckjptXY9tOKt_h-tMDYf2rcoxYD4n8nW5eGobm5HfIQKsr6N15WPc-rfaAhEWwVuzDpb6dqzIqnhDclw1riNaHqiRx7p1HiXCiLW5Jscwhy6Qaw/w426-h640/IMG_9899.png" width="426" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3133492" target="_blank">Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal + Coconut Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo</a></i> 59ml, 18m, Made in USA €19.99</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I bought one of the special haircare sets that Cult Beauty was selling for Black Friday and it included this shampoo which I've used before and loved. This was a travel size so I only got a few uses from it. If you like to thoroughly cleanse and exfoliate your scalp this is a great product as you don't have to use it too often. It's probably better suited to people with a lot of product buildup or particularly oily hair. It has dissolving exfoliating particles in it and a minty/coconut scent. I prefer to use the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3140617" target="_blank">JVN Hair Pre-Wash Scalp Oil</a> or the <a href="https://rstyle.me/+dJZKuF_kmk7DqJ6NpiTveQ" target="_blank">Act + Acre Cold Processed Scalp Detox</a> as my hair is more on the dry side and I find a pre-wash oil works better for my hair. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://thebodyshop.it/products/p119004" target="_blank">The Body Shop Intense Moisture Mask Jamaican Black Castor Oil</a></i> 240ml, 12m, Made in Poland €19</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I was sent this range of products earlier in the year and I've slowly been working my way through them. I absolutely adore the scent of the products in this range, one of the best hair product scents I've ever used. I used this as a conditioner after shampoo as I ran out of conditioner and thought I might as well just use this since I don't wash my hair that often. It worked really well at leaving my hair looking and feeling hydrated and feeling soft and smooth. I have really enjoyed the products I've used from this collection so far and I would purchase them myself as I find they work and they last a long time.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>****</span><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3133551" target="_blank">Aveda Cherry Almond Softening Shampoo</a></i><span> </span><span>250ml, 24m, Made in USA €21</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I love this shampoo mostly for its exquisite scent. I have used many Aveda products over the years and I always really like them. My sister gave me this bottle because it didn't agree with her hair but I loved it. I don't know if I'd repurchase it as I'm trying to spend less money on shampoo and conditioner but I do think it's a great product and it smells incredible.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">**<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+xVN1xXf5O1-di22plDfa1A" target="_blank">Palmers Cocoa Butter Hand Cream</a></i> 60g, 12m, Made in USA €2.99</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">For the price, this is a great hand cream but I've recently switched to the O'Keefe's Working Hands Overnight. I think it works better overall but I would still buy this again as it's a particularly useful size for keeping in my bag. I also love the cocoa butter scent. </span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-3133587" target="_blank">Clarins Hand & Nail Treatment Cream</a></i> 50ml, 18m, Made in France €13</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This is a product I have used on and off for almost 20 years. My mam would buy it and I'd use hers (probably without her knowing) and then I used to buy it myself almost every time I was in the airport. It's one of those products that when you don't have it you don't think you need it but when you start using it again you realise that it's unrivaled in its excellence and makes a genuine difference to your hands. I probably won't have this product all the time but I will most definitely buy it again and again in the future. </span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://www.cultbeauty.com/ameliorate-smoothing-body-exfoliant/13751579.html?affil=thggpsad&switchcurrency=EUR&shippingcountry=IE&variation=12673791&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA-bmsBhAGEiwAoaQNmpD41lc4nDszdYl5BO-B5w7j7Ih5JLDd6U4m6c4xkMuf2YNL161pFhoCThAQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds" target="_blank">Ameliorate Smoothing Body Exfoliant</a></i> 150ml, 12m, Made in UK €23.99</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I bought this as part of a set that also included body wash and body lotion. It works differently to other body exfoliants as you apply it to dry skin and leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing it off. It contains biodegradable bamboo granules and AHAs so it's both a physical and chemical exfoliant. It also contains shea butter, cocoa butter and coconut oil so it moisturises your skin at the same time. I have a backup of this as I really enjoyed how it made my skin look and feel. I will probably keep the backup for the warmer months when I have more skin on show as it seems pointless using it now when I'm so covered up. If you have keratosis pilaris or dry skin I would rate the Ameliorate products to help smooth and hydrate your skin. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The totals are as follows:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">13 PR Products: €477</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">9 Products bought by me €150.88</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">2 Travel/Sample Size </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">2 Part of a Set</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">5 Repurchases</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">2 Gifts or Gift With Purchase €32.99</span></h2><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The total is 24 products: €660.87</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I finished these products over the almost three-month period since my last post in October. I've been using some of them for over a year. I used up almost half the amount of products compared to my post in October. As I always mention, the amount of money I spent on those 9 products is much lower as I rarely buy anything at full price. I probably didn't spend any more than €120 on the products I bought and I would imagine it was less as some products were part of sets (like the Ameliorate and Briogeo) and then discounted even further.

Altogether</span><span> I used up 165 products in 12 months with a total value of €4444.87, 65 of those were PR products with a total value of €2392.73. I bought 89 products myself with a total value of €1886.70, 46 of those products were repurchases, 17 were travel or sample sizes and 11 were gifts or gifts with purchase. I used up 41 makeup products, 55 skincare products, 26 body products, 25 haircare products and 2 perfumes. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>I started these empties posts last year but this is the first full year so it's been really interesting to add up the totals and see everything laid out clearly. This is also the first year I've been trying to keep a one in one out policy with my skincare products so that I can properly test them out and give a more thorough review. It has definitely helped me to gauge the efficacy of products more clearly. This has made me realise what I like, and what ingredients work well for my face, body and hair and therefore should help me to be a more thoughtful consumer.

It is still available from <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2647062" target="_blank">Brown Thomas</a> and <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2647073" target="_blank">Arnotts</a> here in the EU and from <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2923030" target="_blank">Ulta</a> in the US. </span></span></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">When I saw that Lancôme was collaborating with the Louvre Museum I was surprised and intrigued. Lisa Eldridge has been the Creative Director of Lancôme for about 8 years now and so I'm always curious to see the latest Lancôme makeup products. I audibly gasped when I saw this collection. It consists of the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2902938" target="_blank">Richelieu Wing Palette</a>, 4 shades of the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2902941" target="_blank">L'Absolu Rouge Drama Matte Lipsticks</a> and the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2902954" target="_blank">Advanced Génefique Serum</a> with Limited Edition packaging. The lipsticks are 4 different shades of red, 105 Celestial Rose, 196 French Touch, 200 French Drama, 274 French Tea. As far as I can tell, three of the shades are pre-existing and Celestial Rose appears to be the only new shade. French Touch and French Drama were also featured in the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2902961" target="_blank">Qixi Collection</a> from the Summer. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8KHpkpsb51xHvSXQU-uRlhxgwnxstvDKgOE9m58hwwGG4LG9F12zQQJ5Jnug9WjPyu3XQc_2HYK72aqcT0ANBvssnDmT9YElTW9qD6JUxTOK-j9oDF5Cxf7ovYW9Djl3W_L514GLNrGLIa9GmngMXVG-rM54rhhpQ-TC1DU_beNST62LU_jawNMASk00/s3804/LL8.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2535" data-original-width="3804" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8KHpkpsb51xHvSXQU-uRlhxgwnxstvDKgOE9m58hwwGG4LG9F12zQQJ5Jnug9WjPyu3XQc_2HYK72aqcT0ANBvssnDmT9YElTW9qD6JUxTOK-j9oDF5Cxf7ovYW9Djl3W_L514GLNrGLIa9GmngMXVG-rM54rhhpQ-TC1DU_beNST62LU_jawNMASk00/w640-h426/LL8.png" width="640" /></a></div><span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The main attraction of this collection is the Richelieu Wing Palette which was designed by Lisa Eldridge. It consists of four eyeshadow shades and one highlighter with each shade being named after a part of the Richelieu Wing, Cour Puget Peridot, Cour Carée Copper Light, Cour Marly Marble, Royal Palace Pink and the highlighter is called Richelieu Wing Light. </span></p></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Let's discuss pricing because obviously Lancôme is a luxury beauty brand and their prices reflect that. I was so tempted to buy this palette myself when it was first released because it pulled at my heartstrings. Obviously, there was the Lisa Eldridge element as I'm such an admirer of her work with her own brand and what she has done with Lancôme too. I loved the selection of shades in this palette and the exquisite packaging and embossing. I'm a big fan of shimmer eyeshadow so I had no problem with there not being any mattes in the palette. The reasons I didn't buy it were, of course, the price. It's an expensive product and I don't have any income at the moment so buying expensive makeup is not something I can justify especially seeing as it is limited edition. If I am spending money on beauty products now it has to be something that I can thoroughly review and create some great content with, otherwise I can't justify it. If I used a sold-out or limited edition product to create a makeup look and shared it online it would be frustrating for people to no longer be able to buy it which is why I don't tend to buy limited edition products. Despite all of my reasons to not buy it, I was still coveting it as a piece of beautiful makeup and a work of art itself. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6frdra50t6E-J1MmVSViJMRZ20X196pAyW4ZDybjUS4Dro6znq0Pi7aCceWM0bDNIlu-q5vDJ5W1WehhPWlr5NuwHLVBAE28mply1q_3L9vgVAjGEbDDmWMtlNNy1-wWptPWWgYFyVVsbg9AGXucWpTGL7_3e8GwpGrdubRnM_rZGR42_F0o7CbchXt8/s4088/LL5.png" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2902954" target="_blank">Advanced Génefique Serum</a> is €99 for 50ml (although it’s currently on sale in <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2902954" target="_blank">Arnotts</a> for €79.20) but for some reason, the regular version 50ml size is €111 which makes no sense to me. As I mentioned three of the lipsticks are pre-existing in the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2902970" target="_blank">L'Absolu Rouge Drama Matte</a> line and the Qixi Collection which is still available to buy. So you can get three of the shades for €37-€38 each instead of €45. The only difference is the packaging but if you're buying the palette you may want the Limited Edition lipstick packaging too. I know that the packaging will be a selling point for a lot of people. At €98, the palette is obviously quite expensive too as it's just 4 eyeshadows and one highlighter. If you wouldn't wear the green shade I don't know if it would be worth buying. The green is the stand-out shade for me and it's the reason I was considering buying this palette before I was sent it. I love green eyeshadow, it's one of my favourite colours to wear on my eyelids and I can see several ways in which I would wear this green shade. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It could be worn as a liner either alone or over a pencil liner for longevity and added depth. I would wear it all over my eyelids as a one-and-done shade and maybe blended out with the highlighter shade, I'd wear it as a reverse liner on the lower lash line which is a look I love wearing. I've seen it worn on the inner corner too. It would also look great as a halo or spotlight eye look. You can wear all shades as a sheer wash across the lids and they can also be built up. As with most eyeshadow formulas, you can apply them with your fingers for more impact or use a brush spritzed with a fixing spray to increase the impact. I used an eyeshadow primer before applying these eyeshadows as I have oily eyelids and I always use an eye primer (the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion). I used every shade in the palette on my eyelids and I found they wore well and lasted all day without creasing.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil3HWnwyphiY40VdbdFcT8t43uDD4lyz30tNdTEFB3MR63yTfinZ6p09VF6ODPNXxrbKXAExD5iTG1Q1qAJg3errcc03tpOQkFYMI7TtPcGcrWUUEClbFAIopmxqJ8AfcBjtWaxJCiSRiwfQUddF89kZQ_A2P6OOhPjjVgGi12x9qLttzBU0AUsAnMAGg/s3825/LL4.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2549" data-original-width="3825" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil3HWnwyphiY40VdbdFcT8t43uDD4lyz30tNdTEFB3MR63yTfinZ6p09VF6ODPNXxrbKXAExD5iTG1Q1qAJg3errcc03tpOQkFYMI7TtPcGcrWUUEClbFAIopmxqJ8AfcBjtWaxJCiSRiwfQUddF89kZQ_A2P6OOhPjjVgGi12x9qLttzBU0AUsAnMAGg/w640-h426/LL4.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2EAm-CDcyVoH0FEcTJiYFLzXYqsG1oi4qZXdFEnF8iFGePzRlf01AXht-vMQHX83M9vD8E3lzgrDHVJ1V4dL92KlbYK3Vgc3nG9Ij_7OrMiqrf6bpioKH_qbCG64DuvaCNPh1CcLKO2nLwM7yPrpmLWiMN4ypzKRKerJS8lKypIyB_8hRqOo78EBXGnE/s3007/IMG_9034.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2004" data-original-width="3007" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2EAm-CDcyVoH0FEcTJiYFLzXYqsG1oi4qZXdFEnF8iFGePzRlf01AXht-vMQHX83M9vD8E3lzgrDHVJ1V4dL92KlbYK3Vgc3nG9Ij_7OrMiqrf6bpioKH_qbCG64DuvaCNPh1CcLKO2nLwM7yPrpmLWiMN4ypzKRKerJS8lKypIyB_8hRqOo78EBXGnE/w640-h426/IMG_9034.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="text-align: left;">The lipsticks are also beautiful and each case depicts a different work of art from the Louvre including Nymphe Echo, Nymphe Scorpion, Diane de Gabies and Hermaphrodite. I'm already a big fan of the L'Absolu Rouge Drama Matte formula. There are four shades of varying red tones. Celestial Rose 105 is what I would describe as a rich coral, French Touch 196 is a vibrant orange-red, French Drama 200 is a cordovan/ muted burgundy red and French Tea 274 is a muted dusty coral. I hope I've managed to describe the shades well but hopefully, you can see their true colour in the photos below. The formula is one of the best matte lipstick formulas I've ever tried. In fact, it's probably second only to the </span><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2902976" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">Lisa Eldridge True Velvet lipsticks</a><span style="text-align: left;">. They are smooth, comfortable and opaque in one swipe. They have that powdery matte finish that makes them quite forgiving and easy to work with but without feeling dry. Similarly to the Lisa Eldridge lipsticks, the shades are unique and nuanced. I think French Touch looks similar to </span><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2902981" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">Velvet Dragon</a><span style="text-align: left;"> but I couldn't really think of any shades I own that are similar to Celestial Rose or French Drama. I'm interested in swatching them beside some of the lipsticks in my collection just to see if I own anything comparable. If you like matte lipsticks, I'm sure you would love this formula. </span></span></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I have very fair skin and I found all of the shades of the palette and lipsticks worked well on me. I think the eyeshadow formula means that the shadows would work well on all skin tones, especially as they're shimmers. The highlighter is the only shade I'm not sure about, it doesn't have much of a base colour, it's more of a pearl finish so in that sense I think it could work on many skin tones without looking ashy however I don't know that for sure. It can of course be used as an eyeshadow but I know you may want to see it in person before spending quite a lot of money on it. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The faces of the campaign are Aya Nakamura, He Cong, Amanda Seyfried and Zendaya and in the videos on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@LancomeInternational" target="_blank">Lancôme YouTube channel</a>, you can see each of the four women wearing different looks using the products in the collection. It's a good way to see how the products were intended to be used and whether you think they are looks you would like to wear. It's also a good way to see the products on various skin tones. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUlLSUI6iFE_ORZKgjEsOvuu5c-ca4F3mHHR6ddY3mmxPhAzXZnlD_8tKwkInn6ckCLIanOlIEZ-4nI4GTaZi_eYRV0wUi_1d1SockmREPhyphenhyphen96xSFMvuJwTiqem9UxeBNYM9ny5-wJcR04XpgZrWNf3K3hUz_f5CvMbrrEA_GZ-OOM4s8VNFCAUxze-FI/s1800/2C776C0A-2442-4C0F-AE06-C712B6A17BED.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUlLSUI6iFE_ORZKgjEsOvuu5c-ca4F3mHHR6ddY3mmxPhAzXZnlD_8tKwkInn6ckCLIanOlIEZ-4nI4GTaZi_eYRV0wUi_1d1SockmREPhyphenhyphen96xSFMvuJwTiqem9UxeBNYM9ny5-wJcR04XpgZrWNf3K3hUz_f5CvMbrrEA_GZ-OOM4s8VNFCAUxze-FI/w512-h640/2C776C0A-2442-4C0F-AE06-C712B6A17BED.jpeg" width="512" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Celestial Rose</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8A1vvgC0_AR0HWXCO05nJ1IJNBlBgNo2JKCQM2Y3Ex3tzGA7r-z2r5kUCIoSWeifNsQdLAHsQl7OfrtXt-7KFJLtpBdAYqJVR5CozflTgDeP8L_ixW-NB5GzDNhPlm5b4iJ_wkVA5v9nXMubk8Y7gE25diwuazlaJ-T_Aj9Y6TYewEsry-jQl7AHZtBQ/s1800/93838CDD-FDBE-4878-BD37-CB1FB7C812AF.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8A1vvgC0_AR0HWXCO05nJ1IJNBlBgNo2JKCQM2Y3Ex3tzGA7r-z2r5kUCIoSWeifNsQdLAHsQl7OfrtXt-7KFJLtpBdAYqJVR5CozflTgDeP8L_ixW-NB5GzDNhPlm5b4iJ_wkVA5v9nXMubk8Y7gE25diwuazlaJ-T_Aj9Y6TYewEsry-jQl7AHZtBQ/w512-h640/93838CDD-FDBE-4878-BD37-CB1FB7C812AF.jpeg" width="512" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">French Drama</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8KrdR0BNhvKTWKkPa5fPBdORsr539ih_AXRSpeaQ5MlYYhkO8_5dPfvBb7I6mm06Heds2IDwMcycwczd7B1FVb3pIOeS6pxvU732JPlglfoxh6wATncij6XzmGSO805t7IQiEPVuvrcU7ItzO3m7m_12TRZnZY-jsSAPOql7d-Jb1x-7AoWrsAqXrbuQ/s1800/B9819874-23EE-45D7-9360-4BF32974DEA0.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8KrdR0BNhvKTWKkPa5fPBdORsr539ih_AXRSpeaQ5MlYYhkO8_5dPfvBb7I6mm06Heds2IDwMcycwczd7B1FVb3pIOeS6pxvU732JPlglfoxh6wATncij6XzmGSO805t7IQiEPVuvrcU7ItzO3m7m_12TRZnZY-jsSAPOql7d-Jb1x-7AoWrsAqXrbuQ/w512-h640/B9819874-23EE-45D7-9360-4BF32974DEA0.jpeg" width="512" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">French Touch</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">*<a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2922790" target="_blank">Lancôme Priming Serum</a></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">*<a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2647114" target="_blank">Lancôme Teint Idôle Ultra Wear Foundation</a> (120N)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">*<a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2647062" target="_blank">Lancôme Richelieu Wing Palette</a></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">*<a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2647265" target="_blank">Lancôme Lash Idôle Mascara</a></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">*<a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2647088" target="_blank">Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge Drama Matte </a>(French Touch 196, French Drama 200, Celestial Rose 105)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2299368" target="_blank">Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion</a> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2647262" target="_blank">NYX Professional Makeup Lift & Snatch!

I think the limited edition packaging of the Advanced Génefique is beautiful but to me, the palette and lipsticks are the stars. The lipsticks being already existing shades is better as it means you don't have to worry about getting your hands on them before they sell out. You may be someone who is taken with the packaging but I think it's always important to separate the product from the packaging and think if it was in the regular Lancôme packaging would you still want it? If the palette didn't have the embossing would you still love it enough for the shades alone? I am trying to be much more considerate about beauty purchases especially if I'm drawn to something that is limited edition, or a collaboration or has beautiful packaging. While a product may be beautiful to look at, will I actually use it? I think it's important to consider these things when making a purchase, particularly if it's an expensive one. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I'd love to know what you think of this collection. Are you enticed? Will you add the products to your Christmas wishlist? If there's anything else you'd like to know about the products or any comparisons you'd like to see please let me know and I'll try to do that. I've linked two videos below of me applying the palette and lipsticks so you can see them in action as well as a swatch video. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Thank you for taking the time to read this post, I hope you found it to be informative.

If this is your first time reading one of these posts I'll quickly explain the thought process behind them. I started these posts last year as a means of being completely transparent regarding my consumption of beauty products. They are supposed to be the antithesis to short-form content which by nature is lacking in detail and nuance. I got tired of seeing Influencers showing press samples that were never mentioned again or never showing what they buy and use or not disclosing when something has been sent for review purposes. I was longing for more in-depth reviews. I suppose that's why I love watching Beauty Youtubers so much. I get much more detail, fully formed opinions and comparisons. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I wanted to keep track of everything I use up, both PR products and those I buy myself. I write a short review once I've completely finished the products letting you know whether I think it's worth the money. Whether I would buy it again or spend my own money on it if it was sent as a press sample. I also mention the amount of product, the shelf life, where it was made as well as the price. At the end, I have the totals of everything, how much I spent versus the cost of everything that was a PR sample. I hope it's helpful or interesting to have everything laid out this way. It's definitely been an eye-opener for me and it's made me think about what I spend, and where I can save. There are 46 products to get through, so let's get started. </span></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibY-aiTv8nDH1I25-OlihByyHTy_ZGERft0AzNPPVw2ZQj7g_Y4DD3BsrXMkyw8CU3w6xsrXcIyPdkE766sL9VOuytnMtWrhx45H0H1cxHxj227eqWr1cu55Y8jtvjVu3SDWkjL1-n347C3z3L1i3fTgTpYPP5fFlulR-GlkzCa9e4ZfndR68NJ418PCQ/s3264/IMG_8326.png" style="font-size: large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2342" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibY-aiTv8nDH1I25-OlihByyHTy_ZGERft0AzNPPVw2ZQj7g_Y4DD3BsrXMkyw8CU3w6xsrXcIyPdkE766sL9VOuytnMtWrhx45H0H1cxHxj227eqWr1cu55Y8jtvjVu3SDWkjL1-n347C3z3L1i3fTgTpYPP5fFlulR-GlkzCa9e4ZfndR68NJ418PCQ/w460-h640/IMG_8326.png" width="460" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2137179" target="_blank">Lisa Eldridge Skin Enhancing Treatment Cleanser</a></i> 100ml, 12m, Made in UK €52</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I bought this as soon as it came out, along with the Skin and Makeup Enhancing Mist. Skincare from Lisa Eldridge! How could I resist? This is definitely the most expensive cleanser I've ever bought but not the most expensive I've ever used (I'm looking at you, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2426506" target="_blank">Lancome Absolue</a> which is €90!). This cleanser has ruined all other cleansers for me. It is hands down the most beautiful cleanser I have ever used. The closest to it in terms of overall experience is the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-560701" target="_blank">Then I Met You Living Cleansing Balm</a> which is about €10 less expensive. I can't adequately explain how beautiful this cleanser feels, it's like a warm hug for your face. On days when I was wearing minimal makeup, I used this to remove all of my makeup. However, any time I was wearing heavier eye makeup I removed that first using an eye makeup remover because I don't like getting my eye makeup all over my face and I also didn't want to waste the cleanser. I used this a lot as a treatment or mask in the mornings before makeup too as it's so comforting and calming. There were a few times I went to bed in the evening after using this that I forgot to apply my nighttime skincare because my skin felt so hydrated. It's fragrance-free but it has the natural scent of the ingredients which I absolutely love, it's a light and inoffensive scent. I was so sad when I finished this product. I was using it so sparingly towards the end because I didn't want it to be gone. I have a stash of 4 other cleansers that I will use up before I buy this one again. I know there were a lot of people complaining about the price and I can understand why to a certain extent. When you're a fan of a brand and you want to try something but it's not in your budget, it can give you the ultimate FOMO. I'm currently a stay-at-home mother, there are three of us living on one salary in one of the most expensive cities in the world so it's not in my budget to be able to spend €52 on a cleanser. I decided to buy it as a treat using the money I made from one of my affiliate platforms. I kind of wish I didn't know how beautiful it is because now no other cleanser will do. If you watched Lisa's video where she talks about the formula, you'll understand why it is priced how it is. I'd love for it to be less expensive too but I can say hand on heart it's worth it. As I mentioned above, the most expensive cleanser I've tried is the Lancome Absolue which is €90 and while it's a lovely cleanser it's almost double the price of the Lisa Eldridge one and doesn't hold a candle to it. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Obviously, you don't need to spend €52 on a cleanser, there are plenty for less money that will remove makeup and thoroughly cleanse your face. But if you want a luxurious experience and a real treat, add it to your Christmas or birthday wishlist because you won't be disappointed. As a side note, I also bought the cleansing cloths and they are the softest I've ever tried. As far as I know, there are now samples of the cleanser available on her website so if you're not sure whether you want to buy the full size or if you have sensitive skin you may want to try it first. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2420922" target="_blank">IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cleanser Skin-Transforming Hydrating Cleansing Serum</a></i> 148ml, 12m, Made in USA €30</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I could have sworn this was in a previous empties as I've gone through several of these over the years. Cleansing Serum is a good name for this product as the texture is lighter than a gel and yet it feels more nourishing. I used this after removing my makeup with a balm and in the morning. I've been sent it in PR drops and I've purchased it myself. As a side note, my mam and my brother love this cleanser too. It doesn't leave your skin feeling dry even though it foams up and the bottle lasts for ages so even though it's €30 full price you get months out of it. When I bought it I got it at a 20% discount from Cult Beauty so it works out at a great price. This is probably the only "second cleanser" or morning cleanser that I would spend that kind of money on. If I'm buying something myself I'll usually just go for something like CeraVe because I go through them quite quickly but like I said this one lasts for a long time because you don't need a lot of it. I have another one in my skincare stash but I would have no problem spending my own money on this product.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>**<a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2420933" target="_blank">Garnier 2in1 Eye Make-Up Remover</a></i> (x3) 125ml, 6m, Made in Poland €4.45</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This has been featured in two previous empties posts <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2023/07/empties-5-1300-worth-of-empties.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2022/12/2000-almost-worth-of-empty-products-3.html" target="_blank">here</a>. As you can see I've gone through three of these over the past 4 months so I'm a big fan. I don't usually use this many bottles in such a short space of time but I've had two waterproof mascaras on the go so I've been using it more often. The only negative is that I wish this came in a bigger bottle as it would save on packaging. I'm on the hunt for a waterproof eye makeup remover that comes in a 200/250ml bottle but until then I'll continue to use this one. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>**<a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2420949" target="_blank">Caudalie Beauty Elixir</a></i> (x2) 30ml, 12m, Made in France €14</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is another recurring empty product. As I said the last time I reviewed it, I've been using the Caudalie Beauty Elixir on and off for 12/13 years and I actually have another full one ready to go. I always reiterate that mists are not a necessity but I love using them. It's my not-so-guilty pleasure when it comes to my skincare routine. I'm sure you already know about this product and have maybe tried it yourself but for anyone who doesn't, it's a face mist that smells beautiful. I know the scent is polarising so once again, if you can try this out first I would recommend doing so as I know some people really dislike the scent. It contains rosemary, grape, rose, bitter orange, peppermint and lemon balm extracts so it does have that essential oil type of scent. I find it refreshing, calming and invigorating. </span><span style="font-size: medium;">I don't always have this in my routine but I figure that I am lucky enough to get sent a lot of the skincare I use so I like to treat myself to this product every now and then.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2420989" target="_blank">Yon-Ka Paris Lotion Yon-Ka Invigorating Mist Dry Skin Tone</a>r</i> 200ml, 6m, Made in France €37</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I was given this in a press pack at an event about a year ago. I didn't start using it straight away because I had just started a new mist but once I opened it and started using it, it was love! As I always say, using a mist is one of those skincare steps that isn't necessary but it feels great. It's more about the experience and the scent for me. This mist has a lavender scent which I love, it's particularly lovely to use before going to bed. I know that applying hydrating products to damp skin can make them more effective but it's not something you have to use. I think €37 for 200mls is actually quite a good price considering the Caudalie is €38 for 100mls. This bottle lasted me around 6 months of everyday use which I thought was great value for money if you're a lover of a facial mist. The only negative is that Yon-Ka isn't as widely available as other brands, but if you ever get the chance, I urge you to give this a try.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421011" target="_blank">*<i>L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renew Eye</i></a> 15ml, 6m, Made in Germany €37.99</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is one of those products that I liked but didn't love. It did the job of keeping my eye area hydrated. It's not ridiculously expensive and this L'Oréal range is often heavily discounted in Boots, at the moment it's half price which is a great deal. I don't think I'd buy it again myself but it's not a bad product and I read a lot of reviews of people absolutely loving it so maybe it's just one of those products that didn't work for me as well as it does for others. It does say on the box that it's for 50+ skin so perhaps that was the reason I didn't notice much of a difference. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>**<a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421029" target="_blank">L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Hyaluronic Acid + Caffeine Eye Serum</a></i> 20ml, 6m, Made in Germany €30</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I mentioned this in my empties post from last December and I had just bought this bottle so I'd say it lasted me a good 6/7 months of daily use which is excellent for any skincare product. I use this under my eye cream because my eye area is quite dry. I also use it with my <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2426513" target="_blank">Dieux Forever Eye Masks</a> to boost hydration before makeup a few times a week. I love this product and I have just repurchased it as Boots had it in their €12 Tuesday deal so if you'd like to try it, keep on eye on the Boots website as they often have it as part of that offer. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421098" target="_blank">Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm</a></i> (Vanilla) 15g, 12m, Made in USA €22.50</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I bought this from Cult Beauty when they had 20% off as I badly needed a new lip balm. The <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2426518" target="_blank">Nuxe Very Rose Lip Balm</a> I started using a few months ago was gritty and although I usually like rose scents, it was not a scent I wanted on my lips. I had to stop using it as the scent and texture were awful. They have seven different scents and shades but I went with the clear vanilla as I wanted something that was purely a lip balm rather than a tint. I really loved this product, the scent is the ideal vanilla that isn't too sweet. The name butter balm is the perfect way to describe the texture, it feels balmy but very smooth and not too thin. I usually save a lip balm tube for the daytime and use a pot at night but I loved this so much I used it all day. My lips felt hydrated and soft in the morning after wearing it overnight. </span><span style="font-size: medium;">It contains shea and murumuru seed butter as well as vegan waxes to soothe, heal and condition the lips. I don't really have anything bad to say about this, it's a beautiful lip balm. The only downside is the price but I would always wait to buy 20% off. It's also 15g and it lasted me just under 3 months of using it at least twice per day. I'm currently using the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2426530" target="_blank">Naturium</a> one which is more than half the price and very similar so I'll keep you updated on how they compare once I've finished that. I also have a <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2426537" target="_blank">Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask</a> to use so it will be a while before I need to buy a lip balm. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">***<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421067" target="_blank">Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask</a></i> (Berry) 3g, 12m, Made in Korea €1.99</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I bought this mini size from Stylevana earlier in the year when I was ordering some other products like the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2128956" target="_blank">Beauty of Joseon SPF</a>. I've had this in <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2022/07/1200-worth-of-empty-beauty-products.html" target="_blank">previous empties</a> posts too. I have a full size waiting to be opened which is the fourth one I've bought. You can definitely get less expensive lip balms as the full size is €22-24 on the likes of <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2426559" target="_blank">Space NK</a> and <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2426566" target="_blank">Cult Beauty</a>. The full size lasts me 6 months of using it every night so to me it's worth the money. I love the texture and the berry scent. It works so well at keeping my lips hydrated and smooth so that's why I continue to repurchase it. If you buy from Stylevana you can get it for a much lower price. These mini sizes are great to try just in case you're not sure if you'll like a product or a scent. They also have sets with 4 different scents in 8g sizes which is a great way to try them out. If you're ok with waiting a while to receive your order it's a great way to save money. </span></p><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoG59V3XCqCpMaBeJDsiGlqwqMvLVBRYYFx6E5klaoS0XP7DqXWAhNLg9iNf6OEGtApZ1Z38akTHENG80JRLePWyrloJ_-mzW_LMoonX-bUgPFs9JERUvAQiDe1VoR3nif93AocVKagKCKXVK10VWhlx7RnnrBR87MAbi8zP2ElFNjTcrFSPzqTDPbnMY/s3264/IMG_8362.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2203" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoG59V3XCqCpMaBeJDsiGlqwqMvLVBRYYFx6E5klaoS0XP7DqXWAhNLg9iNf6OEGtApZ1Z38akTHENG80JRLePWyrloJ_-mzW_LMoonX-bUgPFs9JERUvAQiDe1VoR3nif93AocVKagKCKXVK10VWhlx7RnnrBR87MAbi8zP2ElFNjTcrFSPzqTDPbnMY/w432-h640/IMG_8362.png" width="432" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421116" target="_blank">Clarins Double Serum Light Texture Complete Age-Defying Concentrate</a></i> 50ml, 18m, Made in France €98</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I've tried both the original <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2426577" target="_blank">Double Serum</a> and the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2426583" target="_blank">Double Serum Eye</a> before and I loved both of them. This new Light Texture version of Double Serum was the ideal product to use during the warmer months. When it was very warm during the Summer I sometimes used this with just SPF on top as I didn't want to add a layer of moisturiser. My skin still felt and looked hydrated. It's an expensive product, one of the most expensive serums I've ever used. However, it did last me just under 6 months of everyday, once-per-day use and I was impressed with that. I'm not suggesting anyone goes out to buy a €98 serum, but I thought it was worth noting that it stretched out for a long time and I wasn't being too precious with it at all. I was very sad when I finished the last drop of this as I enjoyed everything about it. I'm currently using a different serum and if I had the budget for it (which sadly I don't) I'd buy this one again. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421132" target="_blank">Kiehls Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution</a></i> 30ml, 12m, Made in USA €54 </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is a serum that is supposed to brighten the skin and diminish dark spots and skin discolouration. It contains salicylic acid and activated C which is a stabilised form of vitamin C. I have some pigmentation from sun damage which was enhanced during my pregnancy and was still noticeable. I didn't think that this did much until I looked back through some photos of the last couple of months after using it and I can definitely see that it diminished that pigmentation. I also made sure to wear SPF and keep my face out of the sun as much as possible. There's no point using a product like that if you're going to be exposing your face to the sun and not protecting it with a high SPF every day. The question is, would I pay almost €60 for a 30ml size of this serum? I wouldn't pay almost €60 for 30ml of any serum. This is a product for someone with specific skin concerns and it might be the ideal serum for someone with discolouration or hyperpigmentation. It didn't make enough of a difference for me to happily spend that money myself. If I had more pigmentation that bothered me, it might be a different story. This will either be for you or it won't and it's not a bad product but I just don't think I need it. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2128936" target="_blank">Dieux Instant Angel Lipid Rich Moisturizer</a></i> 50ml, 12m €45</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This was another product that made me so sad when I was squeezing out the last drops. I have been wanting to try <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2426593" target="_blank">Dieux</a> products for a long time after following the brand's co-founder <a href="https://instagram.com/charlotteparler?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" target="_blank">Charlotte Palermino</a> on Instagram for a few years. Last year I bought their <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1738835" target="_blank">Forever Eye Mask</a> from Cult Beauty which was the only product that was available in the EU. Then, earlier this year they announced that they had international shipping and I made an order the same day. I ordered the Auracle Eye Serum which you can read about in my last empties post. I also ordered the Instant Angel which I was so excited to try. It's rare that a moisturiser elicits such a response but when you follow a brand's co-founder and you hear about everything that went into creating a product, it makes you more invested in trying it out. I had also heard nothing but good things from my Creator peers and anyone I know who had tried it. To be completely untechnical about it, I would also describe this moisturiser as a warm hug for your skin, much like the feeling of using the Lisa Eldridge Cleanser. It envelops your skin with a layer of comfort and gives your barrier some TLC. One thing that I love about Dieux is that on their website, they are fully transparent about their product pricing and clinical trials. On their website, it's described as a skin-restoring moisturiser for dehydrated skin and a compromised barrier. You can read about the ingredients <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2443082" target="_blank">here</a>, but it is supposed to protect, nourish and repair the skin. It doesn't have fragrance either which is great news for anyone with a sensitivity to fragrance. I loved the texture of this product as it feels rich but when you massage it into your skin it sinks in and doesn't sit on top like some rich moisturisers. This meant that I could wear it day or night as it was a lovely base for makeup, even during the warmer months. I can see this being a great moisturiser for the Winter months. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">My order came with a free key so you can roll down the aluminum tube and get every last drop of the moisturiser out without having to cut it open. I was so sad when I finished this and I can't remember the last time that happened with a moisturiser as they're not exactly the most exciting skincare products. I would love to repurchase this but for now, I have so many moisturisers I've been set in PR drops that it would be wasteful of me not to use those first. The other thing that puts me off is although they have international shipping, it's expensive as you're paying for both shipping and customs and it adds so much more to the price. When I made my first order I had a 20% off discount code which ended up making it the same price as it would be to order full price to the US. I am holding out for a European-based stockist. I think Space NK would be the perfect place to stock Dieux and it would make it a much more accessible brand here in Europe. If you are looking for great, reliable skincare that works, Dieux is the brand! </span><span style="font-size: medium;">It comes in 50ml and 100ml sizes and is also available from <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421176" target="_blank">Soko Glam</a>.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421281" target="_blank">Clarins Hydra-Essentiel [HA] Moisturises and Quenches Silky Cream SPF 15 Normal to Dry Skin</a></i> 50ml, 18m, Made in France €45</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I loved using this moisturiser and I was sad when I had used it all up. It completely lives up to the name, Silky Cream. It has the most luscious, silky texture that feels so smooth and soft on the skin. It also has a beautiful light, fresh scent. I have combination skin and this is for normal to dry but it wasn't too rich or heavy. I actually used this a lot during the warmer months with the Double Serum Light Texture underneath. There were days when it was quite hot that I wore this alone with sunscreen on top, or the Double Serum alone. It does have SPF 15 but I always opt for SPF 50 as I have such pale skin. It's €45 for 50ml and it lasted me for a few months of everyday use which I thought was good value for money. I have a few moisturisers to use up so I won't be buying this myself yet but I'm going to keep it in my mind palace for future reference and I would urge you if you're near a Clarins counter to feel the texture as it's one of the most gorgeous moisturiser textures I've ever tried. </span></p><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCTFXcDUrJjuBZRMfjx_INzHvWv48R1u8wZcwTwKosHyLEgRcPoFlKLRB5tOM21ehGJemTICmmHsCNQK_3mqifUQyWUbEJqJX54hZwZ9ID6GARjx7wZZ0bAiB2IJWZWfJFjBew2JUdpYM45PtVcRE3tk-39oCFXV8HuxzVBR1X0b5SocRKuMluLtm-j3U/s3264/IMG_8361.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2264" data-original-width="3264" height="444" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCTFXcDUrJjuBZRMfjx_INzHvWv48R1u8wZcwTwKosHyLEgRcPoFlKLRB5tOM21ehGJemTICmmHsCNQK_3mqifUQyWUbEJqJX54hZwZ9ID6GARjx7wZZ0bAiB2IJWZWfJFjBew2JUdpYM45PtVcRE3tk-39oCFXV8HuxzVBR1X0b5SocRKuMluLtm-j3U/w640-h444/IMG_8361.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421309" target="_blank">YSL Pure Shots Airthin UV Defender UVA-UVB SPF 50+ PA++++</a></i> 30ml, 12m, Made in France €46 </span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I thought this was a lovely product for under makeup. It's a lightweight, thin consistency that dries down to more of a matte finish which could be great for anyone with oily skin. It also sits very well under makeup and doesn't interfere with anything you apply on top of it. My main issue was the packaging, I'm not sure if I got a dud but I found I had to really squeeze the tube hard to get the product to come out. Considering how thin it is, it was frustrating that it took such an effort to squeeze it out. It's something to consider if you happen to have any dexterity issues and for €46 I would expect more. While I liked the formula, I can't afford to spend that much on SPF as I go through it so quickly, especially as it was only 30mls of product. </span></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>**<a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421322" target="_blank">Glossier Invisible Shield Daily Sunscreen + UVB + UVA SPF 30</a></i> 30ml, 12m, Made in the USA €28</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I've been using this for about 4 years now on and off and I'm not sure if I would buy it again. I love the scent, it's so nostalgic for me and will always remind me of the south of France. I also love the texture which is clear and thin and it sits very well under makeup. The cons are that it's €28 for only 30ml. I don't think I'd bother buying a sunscreen that is any less than 50ml because I use so much of it at a time. I don't know if it's still the case but it used to constantly be out of stock and that unreliability is frustrating as a customer. (Edit: I just checked and it’s not on the Glossier website anymore, another possible discontinuation?) It's also only SPF 30 and while there's nothing wrong with that, with my very fair skin I prefer SPF 50. While I enjoy using it there are great sunscreens for half that price that contain more in the tube and I don't think I can justify buying Invisible Shield again. For now, I'll be sticking to the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2426608" target="_blank">Beauty of Joseon</a> which is much better value and SPF 50. </span></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421355" target="_blank">Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF 50+ PA++++</a></i> 50ml, 24m, Made in Korea €17 </span></p><p style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This product is one of the best sunscreens I've ever used. I had heard many people talking about it over the past few years, <a href="https://instagram.com/charlotteparler?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" target="_blank">Charlotte Palermino</a> and <a href="https://instagram.com/james_s_welsh?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" target="_blank">James Welsh</a> in particular and I had it on my list of products to try. So when I was placing an order for some <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2023/10/romand-lips-glasting-melting-gloss.html?m=1" target="_blank">Romand</a> products on Stylevana earlier this year, I bought it along with the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2443175" target="_blank">Beauty of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm</a> which I just started using last week and is also a beautiful product. It was €13.59 when I ordered it but the price fluctuates on <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2128956" target="_blank">Stylevana</a> and <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2426677" target="_blank">YesStyle</a> as they tend to always have different offers including twin packs. I should have trusted my instincts and bought more than one! As you can see I used up two other sunscreens in the past few months, one is double the price and one is triple and both contain less in the tube. I've also used the <a href="https://www.cultbeauty.com/brands/supergoop.list" target="_blank">Supergoop</a> and <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2426698" target="_blank">Ultra Violette</a> ones in the past and loved them. There are many other brands I love but it's rare to find something that works as well as this does under makeup for the price and the amount of product you get in the tube. It has a light, inoffensive scent and a thin moisturiser-type texture. Despite how much I apply (a lot), it doesn't sit on my skin, it sinks in quite quickly and then leaves a lovely base for makeup if you plan on wearing any on top of it. I can't speak highly enough of this product, If you don't mind waiting on your order, I found ordering from Stylevana very smooth. It's also available on <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2426677" target="_blank">YesStyle</a>, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2426749" target="_blank">Feel Unique</a>, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2426608" target="_blank">Beauty Bay</a> and an Irish website <a href="https://incandeskin.ie/products/relief-sun-rice-probiotics-spf50-pa" target="_blank">Incandeskin</a>. This is one that is worth the hype. </span></p><p style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-size: large;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6kz4HYt3PXlVRHBYo_6ycpI9RckZzChqR4-4VKswJAxGnfCubDVTDE8g4_qvZzogpfEnwfYWc520su_3wRT7gWh7UqDm1U_hA46ijorPEbVDmlUn001NJJH0LDV-OP9RVGOaPH3XruE4E4H7yG1NOLOhp2cdU5CZPVEVbqc0joMGtHcNgKIJOtPJuUgE/s3264/IMG_8296.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2709" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6kz4HYt3PXlVRHBYo_6ycpI9RckZzChqR4-4VKswJAxGnfCubDVTDE8g4_qvZzogpfEnwfYWc520su_3wRT7gWh7UqDm1U_hA46ijorPEbVDmlUn001NJJH0LDV-OP9RVGOaPH3XruE4E4H7yG1NOLOhp2cdU5CZPVEVbqc0joMGtHcNgKIJOtPJuUgE/w532-h640/IMG_8296.png" width="532" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421364" target="_blank">Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Oil Free Natural Skin Perfector SPF 20</a></i> (0N1 Petal) 50ml, 18m, Made in Italy €50</span></p><p style="font-size: large; text-align: left;">I have been using this product for a couple of years now after being sent it in a press drop. This tube wasn't completely empty but as it had been open for a couple of years it had started to not work as well on my skin so I opened a fresh one. I used this a lot over the time that I've had it. I featured it in a blog post last year when I wrote about <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2022/02/my-6-minute-face.html" target="_blank">My 6 Minute Face</a>. You'll be able to see the before and after and the coverage level. I mentioned that it was a favourite of mine and it still is because it's such an easy product to use. It has a specific use value for me as my everyday tinted moisturiser when I need to get ready quickly but still want an even complexion. Not all complexion products can be applied well with your fingers but this is one that I can slap on my face without a brush and it always blends in effortlessly. I don't need to think about it. It provides enough coverage to even out my skin without it looking like I'm wearing much makeup. As mentioned in the 6 Minute Face post linked above, I will usually just apply some mascara, blush, under-eye corrector or concealer and a sheer, hydrating lip product. That's the makeup I wear most days as I don't have the time to sit down and go through every step. I just want enough to make me look awake and more fresh than I feel. </p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">As the name suggests, it's an oil-free formula with a demi-matte finish and sheer coverage. I have combination skin so I can wear this without powdering my oily t-zone as it contains oil-absorbing powders. It also contains licorice root extract which soothes irritated or troubled skin and vitamin E to protect the skin. I found it a great product for when I was going through hormonal acne after having my daughter. The only negatives are the shade range and the price. I have two shades that I can use, 0N1 Petal and 1C1 Cameo. There are only 20 shades (which is common for a sheer tinted moisturiser, although I'm not condoning it) and of course, considering I can wear two of the shades, they inevitably skew in favour of lighter skin tones. The swatches on the Laura Mercier website are bizarre, the lightest neutral shade which is the one I used, looks much deeper than the second lightest neutral shade. So many brands are guilty of having terrible, photoshopped swatches online which makes shade-matching yourself quite difficult. That's why seeing a Content Creator's unedited swatches is so important. You can see 0N1 Petal <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2023/04/fair-neutral-skin-concealer-and.html" target="_blank">here</a>, in the post I put together comparing all of my foundation and concealer shades. </span></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">The whole time I was using this I never realised the price. I know Laura Mercier is a high-end brand but I was not expecting it to be €50! It's actually €53.50 from a couple of retailers like Space NK and Brown Thomas. The only thing I will say is that you get 50ml in the tube which is a lot more than the two comparable products in my collection, the <a href="https://www.boots.ie/no7-hydraluminous-moisturising-foundation-10262468?cm_mmc=ROI_PPC-_-Shopping-_-Shopping_GA-_-No7&utm_source=roi_ppc&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=shopping_ga&utm_term=No7&gclid=CjwKCAjwp8OpBhAFEiwAG7NaEk1m0N9ufHUIiw70hrU3AKiSYm_Vc4ab5CBivM45uSP0dDn4f5ZljRoCBPcQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds" target="_blank">No7 HydraLuminous Moisturising Foundation</a> and the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2426803" target="_blank">Typology Tinted Serum</a> which are both 30ml. You can buy a mini or half-size 25ml bottle for €27. As much as I love this product and I genuinely think it's the top of the list when it comes to tinted moisturisers, it's also quite expensive. Similar products like those mentioned above contain less, the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2426830" target="_blank">bareMinerals Complexion Rescue</a> which is another comparable product is €34.50 for a 35ml tube. So even though it is pricey, it will last you a long time. Whether it's worth it to you will depend on your skin type and preferences. I am currently on my second tube and I don't know if I would buy it myself purely because if I had €50 to spend on a complexion product I'd rather buy the <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2022/04/lisa-eldridge-foundation-review.html?m=1" target="_blank">Lisa Eldridge Foundation</a> and a less expensive everyday day tinted moisturiser. If you have tried this product or if you have another favourite tinted moisturiser, I'd love to know!</span></h2><div style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>**<a href="https://www.boots.ie/no7-hydraluminous-moisturising-foundation-10262468" target="_blank">No7 HydraLuminous Moisturising Foundation SPF 15</a></i> (Porcelain) 30ml, 12m, Made in France €18.95</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I've been using this foundation for almost four years since it launched at the beginning of 2019. As far as I can remember, this is my third tube. When I was working this was my go-to foundation because it was such a fail-safe. It didn't matter how my skin was behaving, it always looked great. You can see lots of posts of me wearing the foundation <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/search?q=hydraluminous" target="_blank">here</a>. I also wrote a post earlier this year swatching all of my foundations and concealers so you can see how the shade Porcelain compared to other shades <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2023/04/fair-neutral-skin-concealer-and.html" target="_blank">here</a>. My only issue with this product is there are only 19 shades, so there could definitely be more shades that are more evenly distributed. I still love this foundation and I'll definitely repurchase it at some stage in the future but for now, I have so many foundations in my collection that I can't justify buying another one. I also think the price point is excellent, less than €20 for such a reliable foundation is a no-brainer for me. Side note, it’s almost ten years since my <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2014/05/no7-matchmade-campaign.html" target="_blank">No7 Match Made Campaign</a>! </span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421380" target="_blank">bareMinerals Original Mineral Veil Pressed Setting Powder</a></i> (Translucent) 9g, 24m, Made in USA €35</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This powder lasted me for ages. I was sent it in a press drop almost 2 years ago, I didn't start using it straight away but I was definitely using it for over a year almost exclusively. I hit pan and had a small ring of it left in the compact when my daughter got a hold of it and dropped it smashing the remainder. Thankfully there wasn't much left but I still consider it empty as it served me so well. Powder is one of those products that do not excite me in any way. It's only when you try a bad one that you realise how good some of them are. This was an excellent translucent powder. The texture is incredibly fine. It applied smoothly and invisibly and it lightly mattified without looking dry. At €35 it seems expensive but it lasts for such a long time that the cost per use is tiny and makes it well worth it. If you like a pressed translucent powder I highly recommend this one. I think I have 4 powders on the go at the moment so I won't need to buy a new one any time soon but I would definitely purchase this one myself. </span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421384" target="_blank">Glossier Cloud Paint</a></i> (Storm) 10ml, 6m, Made in USA €26</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I can't remember the last time I used this but it was in my "declutter" bag and when I was compiling the list of empties for this post I remembered to include this particular shade as it's practically empty. I'm quite sure I was sent this in 2019 (when I was still receiving PR from Glossier). The shelf life of these is 6 months so it is long long long overdue to be taken out of my collection. In that same declutter I took all of the other shades of Cloud Paint out of my collection as they're all at least 3 years old and because they're liquid I'd feel gross putting them on my skin. Once I got the <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2021/06/lisa-eldridge-seamless-skin-luxuriously.html?m=0" target="_blank">Lisa Eldridge blushes</a> 2 years ago I pretty much stopped using all of my Cloud Paints. I really loved the shade Storm, especially in the Autumn and Winter. It looked great mixed with Dusk. Puff, Haze, Dusk and Storm were my most used shades. They released a couple of new shades recently and I really liked the look of them but I've sort of fallen out of like with Glossier at the moment. I think they don't quite know who they are anymore and tbh there are only a few products I'd still order from them (You and Futuredew). I don't have anything like Storm in my collection at the moment, the closest is Lisa Eldridge Mountain Walk which is a bit lighter. I may very well order this again in the future but I have a lot of liquid and cream blushes to get through so I don't need to be adding to that. You can see me wearing it in lots of different blog posts <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/search?q=cloud+paint+storm" target="_blank">here</a>. </span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://www.chtralee.com/p/brush-love-cleanser-mini/0817919017902?gclid=Cj0KCQjwhL6pBhDjARIsAGx8D5-gFoHOpWi-dPjIO0ZBcm_I5duV8Cvdan2G7RXb5XqRmGtdAmTiXgQaAsm9EALw_wcB" target="_blank">IT Cosmetics It's Your Brush Love Instant Brush Cleaner</a></i> 30ml, Made in USA €13</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This product has been discontinued so it's pointless reviewing it but what I will say is I will be on the lookout for a similar product as this was so useful to have at my disposal. I am very regimented about brush cleaning and once it's been used it goes into the "To Wash" pile. I want to keep my products and my face as sanitary as possible so I clean all of the brushes I've used that week once per week but I don't use any brush twice. That may seem over the top for personal use but it's the best way to make sure I'm not spreading bacteria onto my products or my face and I have enough brushes to be able to do it so why not? Having a spray brush cleaner is handy for those in-between days when you want to use a specific blending brush but it's the day before brush wash day. I feel better knowing it has been spot-cleaned. If anyone reading this can recommend anything similar please do let me know as it's not something I'm well versed on. </span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>**<a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421401" target="_blank">IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Setting Spray+</a></i> 100ml, 12m, Made in Canada €26</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is another product that I have mentioned in a previous <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2022/02/1000-worth-of-empty-beauty-products.html" target="_blank">empties post</a>. As I've already reviewed it, I'll keep this brief. I go between buying this and <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2426933" target="_blank">Urban Decay All Nighter</a> depending on which one is less expensive. It smells like coconut which I love and it does the job of increasing makeup longevity. I have multiple other setting sprays I'm using at the moment so I'm not going to need to buy one for a while but I love this one and would definitely buy it again for days when I need my makeup to last longer. It also comes in a travel size which is handy if you want to try it out before buying the full size or for keeping in your bag. </span></p></span></div><div style="font-size: large;"><br /></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzYkD_svMn07nDruVRuQzl8TEVeGnKFsZ6-qKTp2IWUOEZ1avedS8oVc_TftAbafSkPR8ieVEGMiCX_p5Qs9HBdZcWM69QsBaaZ2zTu-zJJZcaNL_JiUpbUsorqKl0MvlMPXMnm7_9ATahUBbbUiiUm1PZujidLdr3fKtjmcqQkFI0w1BsS1b3a4ID8cw/s3264/IMG_8324.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2709" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzYkD_svMn07nDruVRuQzl8TEVeGnKFsZ6-qKTp2IWUOEZ1avedS8oVc_TftAbafSkPR8ieVEGMiCX_p5Qs9HBdZcWM69QsBaaZ2zTu-zJJZcaNL_JiUpbUsorqKl0MvlMPXMnm7_9ATahUBbbUiiUm1PZujidLdr3fKtjmcqQkFI0w1BsS1b3a4ID8cw/w532-h640/IMG_8324.png" width="532" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>**<a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421412" target="_blank">MAC Prep + Prime Lip</a></i> 1.7g, Made in Germany €26</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I first bought this back in 2015, you can read my initial review of it <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2015/10/mac-prepprime-lip-base.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I have repurchased it many times since because it's a product that genuinely works. There are primers for your face and eyes and even eyelashes so it makes sense if you want to smooth your lips, hydrate and increase longevity that you would use a primer on your lips too. The idea is that it instantly hydrates, smooths, refines and helps with feathering. It's a twist-up stick with a waxy formula that dries to a more matte finish making it an ideal surface to apply liner or any kind of lip product. You may or may not have noticed that I am a lip product girl through and through and I've tried similar products over the years but I always come back to this because it's the best. If you have issues with your lip products feathering or lasting all day, this is definitely worth thinking about. It's great for events or any time you're worried about your lip product lasting. Make sure to apply it over your lip line and that will help with any bleeding of your lip product. I'll definitely be repurchasing this at some point. </span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="http://bakeupbeauty.com/olgreeneyesemma" target="_blank">Bakeup Beauty Define Me Gel Liner</a></i> 0.07g, 6m, Made in Japan $20</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I had been dying to try <a href="http://bakeupbeauty.com/olgreeneyesemma" target="_blank">Bakeup Beauty</a> since I first learned that the brand was launching. It was co-founded by one of my favourite makeup artists Jo Baker whose work is a constant source of inspiration to me. When the brand launched at the beginning of this year I was so disappointed to learn they were only shipping to US. They have since become available internationally through both Urban Outfitters and <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2157935" target="_blank">Amazon</a>. After hounding them to start shipping to the EU and leaving supportive comments on their posts they actually messaged me in March to ask if I wanted to join their Creator Community. I said yes and they sent me a package with their palettes and other products however it got lost en route. I then received a package a couple of months later when this liner launched that also contained some face gems. They have since launched their <a href="http://bakeupbeauty.com/olgreeneyesemma" target="_blank">Tarantulash Mascara</a> which I have been dying to try as Jo Baker is the queen of a lashy look. I haven't received the PR package of the mascara and I've tried reaching out to the brand but I've heard nothing back so I don't know where I stand. I'd love to try their palettes and the mascara but I obviously can't afford to buy everything I want to try from every brand and I didn't want to buy something that could have shown up at my door and waste money. All I can do at the moment is review this product as it's all I have tried from the brand. I used this up quite quickly, in fact I can't think of any other liner that I've actually used up completely. The reason is that this is the ideal liner for tight lining because it has such a thin nib and the gel formula means it doesn't budge or transfer to the lower waterline. I loved how it made my lashes look thicker at the base and got rid of any gaps that used to annoy me. I would repurchase it but the international shipping via Amazon is €13 which makes buying this liner quite expensive. Like I said if I was buying multiple items I might be able to justify the shipping costs but I'm not sure where I stand with the brand at the moment and if or when I'll be getting the other products to try. I have no issue spending my own money on products I want to try but I also didn't want to be wasteful and order products that were being sent to me for review. Hopefully I will hear back soon either way as I've had a lot of interest from people wanting to know my thoughts on the brand but at the moment I don't feel like I can give much of an opinion. </span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>**<a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421432" target="_blank">Glossier Brow Flick</a></i> (Brown) 0.48ml, 6m, Made in France €23</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I won't be buying Brow Flick again. As I mentioned in <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2023/07/empties-5-1300-worth-of-empties.html" target="_blank">my last empties post</a>, I much preferred the <a href="https://www.westbarnco.com/en-ie/products/the-brow-pen" target="_blank">West Barn Co. Brow Pen</a>. Since finishing this Brow Flick I've been using the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2426992" target="_blank">NYX Professional Makeup Lift & Snatch! Brow Tint Pen</a>. While the name is terrible the product itself is great and works much better for me than Brow Flick and it's less expensive. I've slowly been finding better and less expensive replacements for all the Glossier products I loved, it's disappointing that a brand that was once ahead of the game is now trailing behind most of the other brands on the market, reformulating to the detriment of beloved products and releasing things no one has asked for (Milky Jelly Soap??). I can't see myself making a Glossier order any time soon and it does make me sad, I'm hoping they will turn it around at some point in the future. </span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421446" target="_blank">YSL Beauty Lash Clash Mascara</a></i> (2 Brown) 8ml, 6m, Made in France €34 </span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I had been wanting to try out this mascara ever since it was first launched. I received this brown version when I went to a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CrMCtbZMf8w/?igshid=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng==" target="_blank">YSL Beauty Masterclass</a> earlier this year and I was thrilled that it was in the press bag. It's been years since I last tried a brown mascara but I'm now a convert after using this one. The only other YSL mascara I've tried is the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2427032" target="_blank">Effet Faux Cils</a> which is one of my top tier mascaras so I was expecting this one to be great too. You can see me applying it in this <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CsMa0vYO0Yy/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" target="_blank">Reel</a> on Instagram. It's a beautiful mascara that gives length, volume and definition. It behaves like a waterproof mascara, it's long wearing, holds a curl and it didn't flake on me. It grabs onto every lash and coats it evenly without clumping, but you can also build it up for more volume. It takes a bit more oomph to remove it because of how long wearing it is, but you don't necessarily need a waterproof eye makeup remover. I loved the deep warm brown colour and I found it ideal for wearing on minimal makeup days. It's €34 full price which is expensive so it's definitely one I'd wait to buy discounted or as a treat if you fancy a bougie mascara. You can usually get good value mascara sets after Christmas too which is when I tend to stock up on the ones I really love. I would definitely repurchase this one. </span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421453" target="_blank">Clarins Wonder Perfect Mascara 4D Waterproof</a></i> €29.50</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I had this mascara a few years ago and I loved it, you can see multiple posts of me wearing it <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/search?q=clarins+wonder+perfect+mascara" target="_blank">here</a>. It's definitely on the more volumising end of the mascara scale which I love. I like to wear waterproof mascara in the Summer months because I get watery eyes from hayfever and this did the trick. It's also great at holding a curl. If you are someone looking for more lift and curl with mascara, use an eyelash curler first and then apply waterproof mascara. Nothing else works like that combination. For me, it comes down to the price. While I loved this mascara, the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2011429" target="_blank">Urban Decay Perversion Waterproof</a> is less expensive and there are drugstore waterproof mascaras that are less expensive again. I prefer to save on mascaras as realistically they don't tend to last more than a few months. I'd rather spend more money on foundation or lipstick because they last longer. Speaking of which I'll be reviewing the new <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2427058" target="_blank">Clarins Joli Rouge Lipsticks</a> soon but for now, you can see me trying them on in this <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cx3Rq0LMY4M/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" target="_blank">Reel</a> on Instagram. If you'd like to try this, I'd definitely wait to buy the Christmas gift sets as they tend to be better value and you usually get a couple of travel-size products with the mascara.</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span>*</span><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2271264" target="_blank">Rimmel Kind & Free Mascara</a></i><span> 7ml, 6m, Made in Italy €12</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I attended the launch of the Kind & Free collection last year and I had a few mascaras to use up before I opened this one. I can't remember the last time I used a Rimmel mascara, or makeup product for that matter so I didn't really have any expectations for this product. I was so pleasantly surprised when I tried this for the first time. You can see it in action in <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CwTIulPMRcE/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" target="_blank">this video</a>. It's quite a wet formula so if you're someone who is trying to keep your lashes curled it may not be the right choice but I loved how it made my lashes look. It gave me length and definition and can be built up for added volume too. I was so surprised by how much I loved this mascara and it's one I would have no problem buying myself especially as it's such a great price point. </span></p><div><br /></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3tUClTQEprZuor24_S5cERQfHnaURqT48RpezchiJpMEC_8UZ-moPzzW1MIou77BlBrpSEMj_8wceG8jHpH8qw9SlRYjC0lXaJX0NjWaKF53wywdF6kSQeA9p5Q-ElT88d3_j6ir_Ug6ckm19msXrJzIpxPZKnoicBmhfjvPBvI5LNLSMH6Cv-kHJzKI/s3264/IMG_8325.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2342" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3tUClTQEprZuor24_S5cERQfHnaURqT48RpezchiJpMEC_8UZ-moPzzW1MIou77BlBrpSEMj_8wceG8jHpH8qw9SlRYjC0lXaJX0NjWaKF53wywdF6kSQeA9p5Q-ElT88d3_j6ir_Ug6ckm19msXrJzIpxPZKnoicBmhfjvPBvI5LNLSMH6Cv-kHJzKI/w460-h640/IMG_8325.png" width="460" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421649" target="_blank">Wella Professional Thermal Image Heat Protection Spray</a></i> 150ml, Made in France €16</span></h2><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I've had this for a while now, I bought it in Salon Services over a year ago. It took me longer than it should have to get through it but that's probably because I bought the ghd Curly Ever After that had heat protection so I used that for a while. I don't know how much I can say about this product. It smelled nice, I assume it protected my hair and it lasted for a while. It's one of those products I didn't feel too strongly about because it's not an exciting product to me. I have already bought a different, less expensive heat protector so I don't know if I would buy it again. I would probably go for the ghd spray as that does more for my hair and there's not a huge price difference. </span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421657" target="_blank">Color Wow Dream Coat for Curly Hair</a></i> 200ml, 12m, Made in UK €30</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I don't know whether I wasn't using enough of this product or it's just not right for my hair but I didn't find it made a huge difference to my curls or my frizz. I know you have to spray it liberally onto each section of hair and then dry it but it wasn't any better than any of my other curl products. My friend swears by the regular <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2427064" target="_blank">Color Wow Dream Coat</a> and I know lots of people who love this product but it didn't do enough that would make me want to spend €30 on it again. I had very long hair when I started using it so maybe I just wasn't using enough but now that my hair is shorter I can't see myself buying it again to find out if it works with shorter hair. I'll stick to my <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2427075" target="_blank">JVN Hair</a> products for now. </span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421667" target="_blank">Davines LOVE Curl Shampoo</a></i> 250ml, 12m, Made in Italy €23</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421690" target="_blank">Davines LOVE Curl Conditioner</a></i> 250ml, 12m, Made in Italy €25</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I'm going to review these products together because I used them together and I feel the same about both. I had never tried this brand before but I had always heard good things about it and these products had great reviews. I bought them with a 20% discount as I needed a new shampoo and conditioner and thought I'd give them a try. I loved the scent, I thought they worked really well for my hair type. I've mentioned many times before that I try to save money on wash-off products like shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and cleansers and spend on treatments and serums that are staying on my skin and hair. I do think that having a good shampoo and conditioner for your hair type makes a difference but at full price these products are quite expensive. If I had a bigger budget I would definitely buy them again as I do think they made a difference to my hair but for now, I'm going to try something less expensive. If you have curly hair and you don't mind spending a bit more on your haircare products, I would definitely recommend this range. </span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421703" target="_blank">R+Co Labyrinth 3-in-1 Texturizing Shampoo + Conditoner+ Styler</a></i> 177ml, 12m, Made in USA €30</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">First of all, if anyone from R+Co is reading this, please make a perfume of this scent. It's one of my favourite scents of any beauty product I've ever tried. It has deep palo santo, white cedarwood, smoky tobacco leaf, fresh pine needles and waterlily. They actually have a candle in the scent which would be the best candle for Winter. This is the fourth styling product from the collaboration between R+Co and hair stylist <a href="https://instagram.com/streicherhair?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" target="_blank">Ashley Streicher</a>. I've used two of the other products, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2427082" target="_blank">Sun Catcher</a> and <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2427087" target="_blank">Dreamhouse</a> which I loved. I mentioned <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2022/02/1000-worth-of-empty-beauty-products.html" target="_blank">Sun Catcher</a> in a previous empties post. The idea behind this product is that it's a shampoo, conditioner and styling product all in one. It's ideal for anyone with fine hair who is looking for more texture and volume and maybe to save time on hair washing. It has ingredients to hydrate your hair too so it kind of does a bit of everything. I really enjoyed using this on days when I didn't have much time to wash and style my hair. I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did, 2-in-1 products are generally not the best but I think this one is great. I've seen this priced from €28-€36 and seeing as it's less than 200mls it's on the more expensive side for a hair product. I bought this with 20% off so I think it was around €24 which is more palatable to me. I tended to use it every second time I washed my hair and the other times I would use regular shampoo and conditioner so it did last me for a while. Depending on your hair type and preferences you may really love this product. I would definitely buy it again as I loved the scent and found it worked very well for my hair needs. </span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://www.boots.ie/umberto-giannini-hair-detox-activated-charcoal-purifying-shampoo-10316741" target="_blank">Umberto Giannini Hair Detox Activated Charcoal Purifying Shampoo</a></i> 200ml, 12m, Made in UK €11.99</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I was looking for a shampoo to clarify my hair when I've been using a lot of styling products and help with build-up. As I live in a city I know that pollution can be an issue for hair and scalp health so I wanted to try something that might help. I definitely found this helped to make my hair look and feel extra clean. I left an oil treatment in my hair for too long one day and when I washed and dried my hair I was left with an oily residue at my roots so the next time I washed it I used this and it was back to normal. It does have a dark grey colour so it's worth noting it might make your shower a bit messy but I find it washes away no problem. It's the kind of product I would use every 1-2 weeks just to make sure there is no build-up of product on my hair and scalp. It's not too expensive and because you don't use it every time you wash your hair it lasts for a while. I'll definitely buy this again. </span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">***<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421726" target="_blank">JVN Complete Air Dry Cream</a></i> 30ml, 12m, Made in USA €10</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I've written about this a few times this year as I've been using it since I first bought the travel size in December. I've since bought the full size and have gone through another travel size and I love what this does for my hair. It enhances the texture of my curls and helps to reduce frizz. I use it when I air dry my hair and when I use a diffuser. You can use this on any texture of hair, it's great if you want to embrace your natural texture instead of heat styling. I'm currently using a full-size tube of this and it's something I will continue to buy because it works so well for my hair type. </span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421796" target="_blank">ghd Curly Ever After Curl Hold Spray</a></i> 120ml, 12m, Made in UK €22</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Earlier this year I asked on my Instagram stories about ghd recommendations. The Instyler my sister gave me years ago finally gave up on me so I was looking to invest in a new hair styling tool. I was given a <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2427100" target="_blank">ghd Platinum Straightener</a> years ago at a press event and because I couldn't make it work for me I gave it to my sister. I prefer a curling wand for my hair type and lack of skills. A friend who I met through Instagram sent me a DM after seeing my hair tool story and offered to send me her <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2427105" target="_blank">Classic Wave Curve Wand</a> as she had another curling wand that she preferred and wasn't using this one. I was taken aback by her generosity as she easily could have sold it. I took her up on her kind offer, she sent it to me straight away and I've been using it so much since. There really is no comparison between it and other much less expensive curling wands I've tried. Because I saved so much money on having to buy a new one myself, I decided to try out the ghd Curly Ever After Curl Hold Spray. It's both a heat protector and a curl maximiser. I had been using the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2427109" target="_blank">L'Oréal Professionel Techni Art Pli</a> but I prefer the ghd one and the fact that it gives heat protection is an added bonus as I don't have to buy two separate products. It prolongs my styled curls/ waves, smells lovely and I know my hair is protected. I probably should have bought this again but I'm trying to save money where I can so I just bought a less expensive heat protector from Boots but I will definitely buy this again in the future or try to stock up when it's at a discounted price. </span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">***<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2231481" target="_blank">JVN Complete Instant Recovery Serum</a></i> 25ml, 12m, Made in USA €14</span></p><p style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is repairing and protecting style primer. It balances the porosity of your hair, strengthens it and provides heat protection. To sum it up, it primes your hair for other styling products so that they work more efficiently. It is recommended for heat or chemically damaged hair, split ends, heat protection and frizz. It also has the most incredible scent as do all of the JVN Hair products I've tried. I will definitely be repurchasing this product. </span></p><div><br /></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihK_u2KEArn4jNB2sdrLTT9I2TiGFD021SbgTUluuIb4zTgq_6wFG7CWtLmFJbzc2eTN9FVTQvJc7WO07Z9a-A3nOVfpXAP4-304QDRQC4-hImE-cYu0fo6BmyTSAqk9HoSQunjfZ7BbWqXOeh7lBmC2m6HMTR3T_XjcgsuMuUazMmEygcJea70lyfnPk/s3264/IMG_8328.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2342" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihK_u2KEArn4jNB2sdrLTT9I2TiGFD021SbgTUluuIb4zTgq_6wFG7CWtLmFJbzc2eTN9FVTQvJc7WO07Z9a-A3nOVfpXAP4-304QDRQC4-hImE-cYu0fo6BmyTSAqk9HoSQunjfZ7BbWqXOeh7lBmC2m6HMTR3T_XjcgsuMuUazMmEygcJea70lyfnPk/w460-h640/IMG_8328.png" width="460" /></a></div><br /><p style="font-size: large;"><br /></p></div></span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">**<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421833" target="_blank">Rituals The Ritual of Hammam Refreshing Foaming Shower Gel</a></i> 200ml, 36m, Made in France €10.90</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This is one of my favourite Rituals scents. I've had many of the Hammam products over the years, the massage oil and shampoo are some of my favourites. There's not much I can say about a shower gel except that it cleaned my body and smelled incredible. It has eucalyptus and argan oil so if you like those scents you will love this range. I will most definitely be buying this again in the future. If you’re based in Ireland they’re also available from <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2427114" target="_blank">Arnotts</a>. </span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421859" target="_blank">Ameliorate Nourishing Body Wash</a></i> 200ml, 12m, Made in UK €12</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I bought an <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2427117" target="_blank">Ameliorate set</a> on Cult Beauty earlier this year that was amazing value. It contained this 200ml Body Wash, a 150ml Smoothing Body Exfoliant and a 500ml Transforming Body Lotion all for €22.60. I then had a 20% off discount code and I was already making an order so I couldn't resist this set as it was such great value already, especially with the added discount. I have been using the Ameliorate body cream on and off for years now but I had never tried their other products. I wasn't expecting much from this body wash but I ended up loving it and being so sad when it was finished. I'll start by saying I don't find these products to get rid of my KP but they definitely help with my dry skin and make it look and feel smoother. I found the body wash to be quite nourishing for a wash-off product and the most important factor, it smelled incredible, which is something I wasn't expecting because the scent of the Body Lotion is not my favourite. This set is still available on Cult Beauty and it's such a steal if you have dry skin and you're looking for some body products. The lotion comes in a huge pump bottle too which I love as it always encourages me to moisturise my body. I just repurchased this as I was making a Cult Beauty order and had a 20% off discount code. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2421878" target="_blank">Maison Margiela Replica On A Date</a></i> 30ml, 24m, Made in France €62</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I wanted to write my description of this before I read about it on the Maison Margiela website. I'm not the best with olfactive descriptors but I would describe it as a sparkling, rosy floral with berry fruits, warmth and freshness. It's like walking through a rose garden or a vineyard on a warm Summer evening beside a person you love who smells amazing and comforting. I wrote the previous sentence and then I read the description on the website which is almost identical and that's why I love the Replica scents so much, they truly manage to capture a feeling or a moment in time like no other perfumers. It's funny that on the bottle the provenance and period is Provence, 2014 because it makes me think about when my boyfriend and I went on our first holiday together in 2014 to a chateau in France. We walked around the gardens chatting as the sun was setting. I was wearing <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2427131" target="_blank">Chloé Rose de Chloé</a> at the time (now sadly discontinued) which as the name suggests is a floral rose scent but also contains blackcurrant and woody notes like On A Date. They are so similar and I think that's why I was so struck by On A Date when I first smelled it at the concession in <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2427136" target="_blank">Arnotts</a>. It makes me think of young love, first dates, romance, talking endlessly hand in hand and the excitement of possibility. I can't remember the last time I fell so head over heels with a scent and used it up so quickly. I will definitely be buying this again or putting it on my Christmas list. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+V9YdaI9hcNg2LUfSoUm7xg" target="_blank">O'Keefe's Working Hands Overnight Intensive Hand Cream</a></i> 80ml, 24m, Made in USA €13.99</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>I was recommended this product back in 2020 when I did a call out on Instagram for hand lotions to help with the peeling skin on my hands from washing them so much in work. I didn't buy it at the time, I tried a few other products that were recommended instead. Then I saw this in Boots a few months ago when my hands were bad again so I decided to give it a try. It made quite a difference straight away and when I ran out I didn't repurchase it straight away and I noticed my other hand creams weren't cutting it so I just repurchased it again last week. There are a few different kinds from this brand but I like this overnight treatment as it's so hard for me to apply hand cream during the day because I'm always doing something with my hands. </span><span>If you have very dry hands I highly recommend trying this out as it really does work.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>**<a href="https://www.boots.ie/flexitol-rapid-relief-hand-balm-56g-10093357" target="_blank">Flexitol Rapid Relief Hand Balm</a></i> 56g, Made in UK €6.99</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I mentioned this in at least one of my previous <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2022/12/2000-almost-worth-of-empty-products-3.html" target="_blank">empties posts</a> as I've gone through a few tubes now. While I think this is a great hand balm, I have since started using the O'Keefe's Working Hands and it's been better at repairing my dry hands so I'll be sticking with that one from now on. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>**<a href="https://rstyle.me/+NlKe99nCJ0cL26kY4HMP4g" target="_blank">Weleda Skin Food</a></i> 75ml, Made in Germany €17.75</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This product is a cult beauty product for good reason. It's an intensive moisturiser for dry skin and can be used on the face and body. I know it's a favourite of Makeup Artists and I can understand why. It hydrates dry looking skin straight away and leaves a beautiful sheen on the skin. I was first introduced to this product by Katie Jane Hughes about 7 years ago and I've gone through numerous tubes of it over the years, including the Light version. It's great for protecting you skin, especially in the colder months. I have quite dry skin on my body so it's great for layering to really lock in moisture. I will absolutely repurchase it. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The totals are as follows:</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">15 PR Products: €567.49</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">31 Products bought by me €637.41</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">4 Travel/Sample Size </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">3 Part of a Set</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">17 Repurchases</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">No Gifts or Gift With Purchase</span></p><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The total is 46 products: €1204.90</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I finished these products over the three-month period since my last post at the beginning of July. I've been using some of them for two years or more. I used up two fewer products compared to the last time so I've finished 141 products in 9 months. As I always mention, the amount of money I spent on those 31 products is much lower as I rarely buy anything full price. I probably didn't spend any more than €500 on the products I bought and I would imagine it was less as some products were part of sets (like the JVN hair product) and then discounted even further.

Romand is a South Korean-based brand founded in 2016 by Beauty Influencer <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sr531/" target="_blank">Saerom Min</a> known as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@saerom531" target="_blank">Gaeko</a>. I can't remember when I first heard about them but I started hearing more about their lip products earlier this year when the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2286095" target="_blank">Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Lip Oils</a> launched. I saw a few people comparing the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2271369" target="_blank">Rare Beauty Lip Oils</a> to the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2285651" target="_blank">Romand Juicy Lasting Tints</a>. As far as I know, the only K-Beauty brands that I have tried so far are <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2270932" target="_blank">Missha</a>, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2285683" target="_blank">Too Cool for School</a>, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2271357" target="_blank">Erborian</a>, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2285670" target="_blank">Beauty of Joseon</a>, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2285672" target="_blank">COSRX</a> and <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2285676" target="_blank">Laneige</a>. I wanted to try some makeup from a K-Beauty brand and compare them to some products I already own. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I decided to order a variety of lip products from <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2285770" target="_blank">Romand</a> via <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2271404" target="_blank">Stylevana</a>. I hadn't ordered from them before and they had actually contacted me last year looking to give me a voucher to order products but they were looking for specific reviews within a week of receiving the products and content without payment so I said no as I only accept PR without any obligation to post anything. I'd never be able to give a review just one week after receiving a product.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Romand is stocked on a few different websites that ship to Ireland but I decided to place an order with Stylevana just to experience shopping from their website myself. It was quite straightforward and I had no issues other than the package took a while to arrive but I was expecting that so as long as you're not in a hurry, it's probably the best value for money as they always have offers going on. I think I ended up spending just over €30 on these 4 lip products. I ordered a few other skincare items from other brands as there was free EU shipping if you spent €49 so I took the opportunity to try out some other products I have been wanting to try. I just thought I'd mention where I ordered from as well as the prices and the experience as I know it can be offputting to try out a new brand if it's not readily available from a retailer that you order from regularly. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This post is quite photo-heavy as I wanted to provide as much detail as possible. When I was researching which products to buy and what shades to go for, I couldn't find many reviews or swatches that weren't heavily edited. I really wanted to try the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2285648" target="_blank">Glasting Melting Balm</a>, the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2285659" target="_blank">Zero Velvet Tint</a> and the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2285659" target="_blank">Milk Tea Velvet Tint</a> but they didn't have the shades I wanted in stock and I had to be selective as I didn't know whether I would like the formulas so I went with two shades of the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2285651" target="_blank">Juicy Lasting Tint</a>, a <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2285655" target="_blank">Glasting Water Gloss</a> and a <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2285657" target="_blank">Blur Fudge Tint</a>. I tried to play it safe with a selection of shades that I knew I would wear and could easily compare to others in my collection. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEbK9fx5tlSIv7s0rMMrMYPIl2CSO0laTKiwzOQOztNLsJIUHS6t2gQZgD4Hpp6uYue9QH1rE-zK1riT5ztDAX3ilQ9pcgwGhgPbN3Z_zosCZOm3ONYLYqcpbM8HOsZjmYcRtdawe82dpI-dO3RB_jEeWLJvLLxpR8UiGGVnKmo_a49aKqX9xwpdPN-as/s2372/RL29.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1581" data-original-width="2372" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEbK9fx5tlSIv7s0rMMrMYPIl2CSO0laTKiwzOQOztNLsJIUHS6t2gQZgD4Hpp6uYue9QH1rE-zK1riT5ztDAX3ilQ9pcgwGhgPbN3Z_zosCZOm3ONYLYqcpbM8HOsZjmYcRtdawe82dpI-dO3RB_jEeWLJvLLxpR8UiGGVnKmo_a49aKqX9xwpdPN-as/w640-h426/RL29.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8AGnEuFH7MbmuRtLx5nMUO3Wl18xbdB50EaIEIM44a_SM0FYEk797DAsq2_p5oL8m0w8Bc5FbnxPFsiIkXb35VT_a-QWme600E6WfIS3YcqrafLO2b55i23Q4tE0jiBVUbz_CWqmr70nt_4J90z3oREVcyJHY2aSDvolRY5kfBYJpWHzZ7jKPICAw37M/s2204/IMG_7176.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1468" data-original-width="2204" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8AGnEuFH7MbmuRtLx5nMUO3Wl18xbdB50EaIEIM44a_SM0FYEk797DAsq2_p5oL8m0w8Bc5FbnxPFsiIkXb35VT_a-QWme600E6WfIS3YcqrafLO2b55i23Q4tE0jiBVUbz_CWqmr70nt_4J90z3oREVcyJHY2aSDvolRY5kfBYJpWHzZ7jKPICAw37M/w640-h426/IMG_7176.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Let's get started with the lightest shade of the four. It's so light, it's crystal clear. I'm a sucker for a juicy lip gloss even though I tend to only wear them when my hair is off my face. The Irish wind and lip gloss are not a winning combination, but I love how it looks. I have a few clear or shimmer lip glosses and oils- the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2271437" target="_blank">Dior Lip Glow Oil</a> in shade 000 Universal Clear, the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2271450" target="_blank">Glossier Lip Gloss</a> in both Clear and Holographic, the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2271471" target="_blank">Danessa Myricks Colorfix Glaze</a> in Clear and the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2271486" target="_blank">Lisa Eldridge Gloss Embrace Lip Gloss</a> in Silent Sun. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">There are a few shades available, all translucent with glitter but I decided to go for <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2285655" target="_blank">00 Meteor Track</a> which is a transparent gloss with blue sparkles. I was mesmerised when I first opened this one. It definitely gives that Y2K nostalgia that will delight any fellow elder Millenials. The packaging is probably my favourite out of the four products I bought, mostly because it's so satisfying to be able to see the liquid inside and the tiny sparkling blue glitter. It glides onto your lips and feels smooth, not sticky in any way. It really lives up to its name as it's such a thin, almost watery feeling. The applicator is unlike any I've seen before. It's a thin silicone paddle rather than a doe foot which is great for if you want to clean it off or sanitise before putting it back into the tube. That's one thing I really appreciate as I hate when you have a clear gloss and you can see it getting cloudy from the tainted doe foot applicator going back into the tube. Maybe I'm just a bit weird or does anyone else feel the same way? In the photos below I am just wearing the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2285655" target="_blank">Glasting Water Gloss</a>, no lip liner. In the photos at the very end, you can see how it looks over the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2285657" target="_blank">Blur Fudge Tint</a>. I'm sure it would look amazing over a liner or a lip stain too. I quite like wearing it alone because it is so shiny, I like letting that be the look. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The formula has menthol in it in the form of menthyl lactate which gives it both the scent and cooling feel of a menthol lip product. I know some people like to avoid menthol as they find it irritating or drying or don't like the scent so I wanted to mention it as I know scent in lip products is an important factor for some people. It also has sweet almond oil extract for hydration. I love how this looks on my lips, I don't mind the cooling sensation and if given the choice, I'd rather it didn't have the scent as it's not my favourite but it doesn't bother me enough that I wouldn't use it. It definitely gives the appearance of smooth and plumped lips and because of the thinner texture it doesn't disturb any product underneath so it's ideal for layering. The glitter is small and dispersed enough that it doesn't look overtly glittery. It cost me €7.89, so it's ideal for anyone who wants a clear gloss but doesn't want to spend too much on it. If scent isn't an issue for you, I'd definitely recommend this one over the Glossier which is a thicker consistency and can be hard to layer on top of other products. </span></p></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2285651" target="_blank">Juicy Lasting Tints</a> were the ones I was most interested in trying. As I mentioned I had seen several people I follow on social media saying that the new <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2271369" target="_blank">Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Lip Oils</a> were a very similar formula. I ordered one shade of the Rare Beauty ones when they launched as I hadn't tried the brand yet and I loved the sound of the formula. As lots of other people have said in their reviews, the Soft Pinch Lip Oils are not a traditional lip oil formula but rather a glossy lip stain. I can't review the Juicy Lasting Tints without comparing them to the Rare Beauty ones as they are so similar in my humble opinion but I'll cover that at the end. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">As I said I found it difficult to choose a shade because the swatches didn't seem true to life. That's probably why I ended up ordering two shades, a warmer shade, 23 Nucadamia and a cooler shade, 25 Bare Grape. I was hoping that Bare Grape would be the Romand equivalent of the Rare Beauty shade I bought called Hope. As you can see from the swatch comparisons below they are very similar, Bare Grape is just a bit deeper. The packaging is quite simple, the tube is colour-coded for the shade that's inside which is always helpful. There is a standard doe-foot applicator with enough product on it to apply a thin layer on the lips. The first thing that struck me about it when I opened the tube was the scent. It has a very strong fruity scent, almost like a kid's fruit yogurt if that makes any sense. It's something I wanted to mention just in case anyone is sensitive to particular scents. I prefer fragrance-free over a scented product because not everyone is going to like a scent whereas something that is fragrance-free is more inclusive. This scent does dissipate after a while and like I said above, it doesn't bother me enough to stop using these products. I find it easy to apply and the finish gives you smooth, juicy looking lips with the ideal level of translucency for a product like this. As you wear it, the shine fades and you are left with an even stain. You can reapply and you will get a deeper shade as the stain layers or you can apply a balm or a clear gloss like the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2285655" target="_blank">Glasting Water Gloss</a> on top. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I know most people will want a comparison between these and the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Lip Oils. Firstly, as I always do, I checked where the RB ones are made and I wasn't surprised to see that are made in South Korea. The main differences are that the RB ones are fragrance-free but they do have menthol and that cooling sensation. The RB ones also have jojoba seed oil, sunflower seed oil, glycerin and squalane, ingredients that are going to moisturise, soothe and protect your lips. The Romand ones have coconut, kiwi, mango, guava and papaya extracts in them to moisturise, soothe, condition and provide antioxidant and anti-aging benefits. I would say that the RB has a thinner consistency too. I included a photo below where you can see the stain left behind from the two Romand Juicy Lasting Tints and the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Lip Oil. The RB leaves a slightly deeper stain, it actually applies lighter in colour at first and as it settles on your lips it darkens to the actual shade. The wear time is quite similar in both products as is the evenness in wear as the shine fades. The major difference is that the Rare Beauty ones are more than double the price of the Romand depending on where you buy them. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I still think the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2286412" target="_blank">Rare Beauty Lip Oils</a> are a great price at €22. However, if you like this kind of formula and you'd like a couple of shades, you will get more for your money with the Romand ones. It may also come down to shade preferences, overall I prefer the shades of the Romand ones, whereas I was happy with one of the Rare Beauty ones and I didn't find myself lusting after more shades. If you're unsure which to go for, I hope this review and the comparisons have been helpful.</span></p></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihMyAcJ3uSfeFalMKv4R1Wv82dj9RXo7BY3rAIU_OHSCy2ifHwCDPN7bKfi9OH10BQ3GBMse4vpGtcvfoR7PboJZsZUbWHxJlwLy_xPkwP1A4uwYapzyDSFeu8GQsCiOxTO1ry4JtzqucOc8Ry34cwEflhC7fILGkZnXM6vOEGFtQW48fMIziJSns3y_g/s2333/RL34.png" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Lastly is the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2285657" target="_blank">Blur Fudge Tint</a> in the shade 10 Fudge Red. This is the kind of product I think about when I think of K-Beauty. A silicone and wax-heavy, matte, blurring product that gives you dreamy, hazy, soft focus lips. It's more of a powdery cream than a liquid lipstick. I wanted to try this formula purely to see how it compared to the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2286439" target="_blank">Fenty Beauty Icon Velvet Liquid Lipsticks</a> that I tried earlier this year as well as a couple of other similar products that I own.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It was hard to choose a shade in this formula as they all looked so beautiful. However, I always prefer a matte red so I thought I should try a bolder colour in this formula. I had the idea of possibly layering this with the Glasting Water Gloss too which you can see below. First of all the colour is stunning, it's almost neon red. I've swatched it beside some of my other reds below for reference. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I love the packaging which is a slightly translucent, almost rubberised matte red to match the product inside. It has a slanted and tapered doe foot applicator. There is a faint vanilla scent when you smell the applicator but it's not noticeable at all on the lips. The formula contains macadamia seed oil which is going to moisturise your lips. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The main difference between the Blur Fudge Tint and the Fenty Icon Velvets is the texture. The Icon Velvet is more of a mousse, it's not as waxy as the BFT. I would say the BFT is easier to apply as it is a stiffer formula which can be an advantage when it comes to liquid lipsticks. The other difference is the opacity. The Icon Velvet is much more opaque in one swipe which you can see from the swatches below. I did have to build up the Blur Fudge Tint to achieve the opacity that you see in the photos. I would argue that the BFT is not meant to be worn to full opacity, it has a slight translucency to it and the formula is stiffer because it is meant to be blurred and soft focus. Whereas the Icon Velvet has been marketed as a fully opaque liquid lipstick. Neither of these formulas fully set down like a traditional liquid lipstick, they both have silicones that give them a more forgiving, smooth and plush finish. This also means they won't be as long-lasting as some liquid lipstick formulas and you may need to reapply after eating or drinking. If you want impact and full-on colour I would go for the Fenty Beauty Icon Velvet whereas if you want something more low maintenance and probably easier to use, the Blur Fudge Tint is the better option. Both products leave behind a bit of a stain, but the Icon Velvet stain is more intense. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2286439" target="_blank">Fenty Beauty Icon Velvet</a> is €27 whereas the Romand Blur Fudge Tint can be bought for less that €10. There are a couple of other products I have with a similar texture to the Blur Fudge Tint, the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2285699" target="_blank">Half Magic Beauty Mouth Cloud</a> and the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2285723" target="_blank">Clarins Velvet Lip Perfector</a>. Both of these products are made in Korea too and are more of a matte lip cream than a liquid lipstick. It looks like the Clarins one might be discontinued but the Half Magic Mouth Cloud is a great option if you want to try a less pigmented blurring lip cream as they’re under €20 and available from <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2285699" target="_blank">Beauty Bay</a>. I have a few shades and they’re beautiful.

I already have a list of their other products I want to try. My friend was in Japan last week and asked me if there was anything I'd like her to bring back for me. I sent her a list of Romand products and she said they were sold out everywhere. I would definitely like to try more from the brand in the future but for now, I'm going to enjoy these four products. Nucadamia in particular is a beautiful Autumnal shade. Please let me know if you've tried Romand or any other K-Beauty brands you think I might enjoy. I've also included a YouTube Short below where you can see me trying on all four products as I know videos can be helpful. </span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">If you'd like to support my work as a Content Creator and you're in a position to do so, you can <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/olgreeneyes" target="_blank">Buy Me A Coffee</a>.

In fact, I've been wearing Clarins lip products for almost 20 years! My first Clarins lip product that I still think about was the Colour Quench Lip Balm and I still remember that I wore shade 11 Poppy. I have a distinct memory of wearing it for my secondary school graduation night out before social media as we know it was even dreamt about. I've been using and loving the Instant Light Natural Lip Perfectors for years and I've had <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2012/05/clarins-lips.html" target="_blank">01 Rose Shimmer</a>, <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2013/08/soft-peach_7.html" target="_blank">02 Apricot Shimmer</a> and <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2020/03/blue-is-warmest-colour.html" target="_blank">05 Candy Shimmer</a> in that time. If they’re good enough for <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/uk/beauty/make-up-nails/a28363183/duchess-of-cambridges-clarins-lip-gloss/" target="_blank">Kate Middleton</a>! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">A couple of months ago I attended a press event in the Clarins Boutique and Spa in Dublin and we were shown the Summer Collection as well as the new <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2033361" target="_blank">Lip Perfector Glow</a>. This new addition to the Lip Perfector family comes in 6 shades 20 Translucent Glow, 21 Soft Pink Glow, 22 Peach Glow, 23 Pomegranate Glow, 24 Fuchsia Glow and 25 Mulberry Glow. They have been formulated for use on both lips and cheeks which seems to be a trend that isn't going anywhere any time soon. They contain shea butter, mango butter and a peptide volume booster. One of the main ingredients is mineral oil which is one of those ingredients that tends to get a bad rap, however, it is excellent for dry skin types as it acts as an occlusive layer to help with hydration. It also helps to give your lips a more smooth appearance. The difference between the new Lip Perfector Glow and the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2033373" target="_blank">Instant Light Natural Perfector</a> is that the former is more of a hybrid lip and cheek product, it's more glossy and comes in more saturated shades whereas the Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector is what I would describe as a tinted glossy balm. I would say they are quite similar in what they do so it's more down to which shades you prefer and whether you want something that you can also use on your cheeks. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">As you can see from the close-up photos below, both shades I received have some minuscule shimmer particles in them which I love as it helps to reflect the light. It's something worth noting if you plan on wearing them on your cheeks as you can see the shimmer up close but it's not something you'd notice much and I quite like how it looks. To be honest, I wasn't expecting to like them on my cheeks. I thought they would be too sticky and uncomfortable but I quite liked how they looked and I didn't find them any more sticky than any of my other liquid blushes or highlighters. You probably wouldn't apply enough of a shade like Pomegranate Glow to get the kind of opacity that you can achieve on your lips, but in the photos below you can see how it gives a subtle rosy sheen to my skin. If you have a deeper skin tone than me, they might act more as a dewy highlighter than a blush. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It was great for me to be able to test a lighter shade as well as a brighter shade with more pigment in it. As you can see from the lip and arm swatches, the Pomegranate Glow shade can be built up to a more opaque finish depending on how much you apply. It's such an easy shade of red to wear. If you decide to build it up so it's more opaque, it will fade as you wear it which leaves a translucent red with an even finish. They have that Goldilocks level of slip that is just right, it's not sticky but it has enough grip to keep it on my lips and prevent it from feathering outside of my lip lines. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>You can see below how the Peach Glow shade looks with and without lip liner. I tend to wear them without liner because for me they are more of a low maintenance, apply it without a mirror as you're going out the door kind of product. As you can see Peach Glow is almost the same colour as my skin which is why I wanted to show it with lip liner as it does give my lips more definition and shape. </span><span>They have the same (or at least very similar) soft vanilla scent as the </span><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2033373" target="_blank">Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector</a><span> and the same practical packaging and soft applicator.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2033383" target="_blank">Lip Comfort Oil</a> was originally launched in 2015 and I've gone through several tubes over the years. I love the shade Honey because it has the least amount of colour and I liked to wear it as an overnight lip treatment. I actually wrote a review of it in 2017 which you can read <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/search?q=lip+comfort+oil" target="_blank">here</a>. I've also bought it as a gift for numerous friends and family members as it's one of those beauty products that anyone can wear as the shades are so sheer. They were reformulated and repackaged last year and I was sent a few of the shades which you can see below along with the two new shades that were released recently, Fuchsia and Fig. I love everything about these, the packaging, the large applicator, the subtle shades and the scent. It contains rosehip seed oil, jojoba seed oil, hazel seed oil and castor oil. The texture is smooth and thinner than other lip oils I've tried but it still feels nourishing. They have a beautiful glossy finish, you can wear them with or without a lip liner or over a lip stain or lipstick. I also love that the applicator is so big and has enough oil on it from one dip in the tube to easily cover your lips. The scent is what I would describe as a gourmand fruity scent, there is something sweet about it too. If you're in any way sensitive to fragrance I would recommend testing this out first in person if you can. I love the scent, it's one of the things I've always loved about Clarins lip products, it's not necessary, but to me, it's an added bonus. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">There are 10 shades but as I mentioned they are all quite sheer so it's just a tint of colour. How it looks on you will depend on your natural lip colour as that will come through quite a bit. I like to wear these in a similar way to the Lip Perfectors, as a low-maintenance, lip-enhancing product for minimal makeup days. I can apply them without a mirror and I love to reapply them multiple times throughout the day mostly because of the scent but also because of how they feel on my lips. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>Lots of brands are now making lip oils, one of the most famous ones is the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2033387" target="_blank">Dior Lip Glow Oil</a> which is almost double the price of the Clarins one. </span><span>I have one of the Dior ones but I much prefer the Lip Comfort Oil. If you're near a Clarins counter, I'd recommend trying these out. They also come in a </span><a href="https://www.clarins.ie/lip-comfort-oil-shimmer-80074350.html" target="_blank">Shimmer</a><span> version which I haven't tried yet and an </span><a href="https://www.clarins.ie/lip-comfort-oil-intense-80060080.html" target="_blank">Intense</a><span> version which is also beautiful but I tend to prefer lighter shades in that kind of formula as they aren't as high maintenance.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I knew I would probably love the Lip Perfector Glow as it's such a similar formula to the Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector. Both of these products are ideal for anyone who wants a makeup and skincare hybrid and something low maintenance that requires little thought or precision. I love wearing them on minimal or no makeup days as they give me some colour on my lips and also contain skincare ingredients. Like with any lip product of this nature, it won't have the longest wear time but the great thing is that they are so easy to reapply, unlike an opaque lip colour. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Thank you for taking the time to read this post, I hope you found it to be informative.

I wanted to create a makeup look inspired by this fiery, fierce and feline astrological sign. I</span><span>t also happened to be International Cat Day when I posted this look on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cvsc1uMvyXk/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" target="_blank">Instagram</a> which was a perfect coincidence. The video is at the end of this post if you'd like to see how I created the look. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I based the liner on the eyes of a lion with dramatic black inner corners, black liner all around the waterline and then out into a sharp, exaggerated wing. I used some of the Bakeup Beauty dagger stickers on the lower outer corners to look like little golden claws. I did this whole look quite quickly as I didn't have a lot of time to film the makeup application but I still wanted something that would make an impact. This look is all about the intensity of the eyes so I thought muted but glossy lips would work well. I paired Lisa Eldridge's Velveteen Fawn with Gloss Embrace in Silent Sun. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">My base consisted of some products from the Armani Beauty Luminous Silk range that I was sent in a recent press drop. I bought the Luminous Silk Foundation in 2018, almost 5 years ago, after the Katie Janes Hughes event in Brown Thomas. It was a ticketed event and the price was redeemable against products in the Beauty Hall. I took this as my opportunity to finally try Luminous Silk and it did not disappoint. It is without a doubt one of the most beautiful foundations I've ever used and the only reason I haven't repurchased it is because I have so many other foundations in rotation. I'm very happy to have it back in my collection along with the Luminous Silk Hydrating Primer and Concealer. I wear shade 2 and it's a great match for me. You can see me wearing it <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2019/06/orange-crush.html" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2020/01/star-gold.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2019/06/truffle-shuffle.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">To softly sculpt my face and add colour to my cheeks I used the Hindash Cosmetics Color Fluid liquid pigments (see the swatches below). I like to mix Carve and Thorn with some foundation or concealer to add some dimension to my face as a bronzing/contouring hybrid. I then mixed Rising and Heartist with the Lisa Eldridge Elevated Glow Highlighter in Pink Moon to create a luminous, warm blush. You only need the tiniest amount of the Color Fluids as they are such saturated pigments. I love that they allow me to mix custom shades for my skin tone and they have been formulated to be worn anywhere on the face which is ideal for anyone who wants to make the most of their makeup products. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a

I've been keeping a low profile this week as tomorrow is the anniversary of <a href="https://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2020/05/our-son-milo-my-experience-of-pregnancy.html" target="_blank">Milo</a>'s due date. I never expect it to affect me the way it does but it brings everything to the forefront of my mind and I can't help but think about how if he'd lived he would be turning 3 around now. It's a date that will always have such significance to me as I'll never know when he would have been born. Working on this blog post has given me a welcome distraction this week and has allowed me to concentrate on something I love to do. I've also been trying to focus my attention on organising my daughter's second birthday (I can't believe it). I hope you're all doing well, please let me know if there's anything you'd like to see me review in greater detail or if there is any makeup look you'd like to see in a video. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If you'd like to support my work as a content creator you can do so through <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/olgreeneyes" target="_blank">Buy Me A Coffee</a>. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium;">Emma x</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15256077872149420993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842134200894511866.post-59677693087578615612023-08-04T17:01:00.001+01:002023-08-04T17:01:13.805+01:00Shopping My Stash- A Look Using The Nabla Cutie Palette Midnight<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;">This post contains affiliate links, if you buy something based on my recommendation using the links below, I will receive a small commission but it won't cost you anything extra.</span></span></p><p style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*PR Samples</span></p></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The other night I started going through my makeup trolley (this <a href="https://rstyle.me/+GHN5NjMMwoHfygO_0q5vOg" target="_blank">IKEA</a> one) to rearrange my eyeshadow palettes which were in a state of disarray. I ended up having an impromptu "declutter" of my entire makeup collection (not including lip products as they are stored elsewhere, although I do need to go through those too). I ended up trying to clear out anything that was bought pre-2020, especially creams and liquids. I got rid of all of my <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1943469" target="_blank">Glossier Cloud Paints</a> as they were all at least 3 years old and they have an expiry recommendation of 6 months. I rarely strictly follow these recommendations but instead go by the smell, texture and performance of a product. However, I can't remember the last time I used them to be perfectly honest and as they are liquids I thought it would be better to make some space in my collection by clearing them out. I still think they are great products but I have other similar blushes in my collection and I prefer those shades as they are more nuanced and they are more suited to my complexion. I also went through my eyeshadow palettes and single eyeshadows. I archived (as in I'm keeping them for shade reference but I won't be using them) some that were bought in 2018/2019 and weren't performing as well like the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1943480" target="_blank">Bodyography Glitter Pigments</a>, some of which I'll definitely be repurchasing as they are such favourites of mine. If you want to see them in more detail I have plenty of posts featuring them in this blog. I've been trying to convince myself not to buy the new <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1943482" target="_blank">Natasha Denona Yucca Palette</a> or the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1943483" target="_blank">Isamaya Industrial 2.0 Palette</a> so I went through my collection of palettes to find some things I haven't used in a while in order to attempt to satiate my lust for something new. One such palette was the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1943487" target="_blank">Nabla Cutie Palette Midnight</a> that my sister bought for me for my birthday in 2021 so it's almost 2 years old. I'm much more lenient with the expiry recommendations on powders so I'll be keeping this one for a while longer but I wanted to try it out again as it has been some time since I last used it. I haven't used this palette nearly as much as I'd have liked to and I wanted to play around with it some more. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Despite its name, it brings to mind visions of the South of France. Of course, one of the shades is named Marseille which probably helps. The Côte d'Azur is one of my favourite places in the world (although I haven't got many places to choose from as my travels have been limited). I haven't been there in almost 4 years and I miss it so much. Over the past 8 years, I've been to Nice, Villefranche Sur Mer, Èze, Beaulieu Sur Mer, Juan Les Pins, Antibes, Monaco and Menton. I am hoping to finally go back next year with my daughter but until then, I'll have to make do with Azure coloured makeup. If you live in Europe you may also be experiencing quite a wet Summer and so the other day I wanted to brighten myself up with a colourful makeup look. It was the perfect opportunity to use this palette again and I'm always up for wearing blue on my eyelids. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I started with some primer and then applied Quiet Storm across my lids from the lash line about halfway to my brows using my finger. I then blended that out using Air and applied Alma on my inner corner. I used Sapphire to deepen the outer corner of my eyelids and applied some of the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1943498" target="_blank">Kosas Cloud Set Powder</a> just under my brows to blend everything together. I took more of Quiet Storm on a flat brush and spritzed it with the Clarins Fix' Make-Up and added it to the centre of my eyelids for more intensity as it's such a beautiful shade. I decided to keep my lower lash line clean and added mascara to both my top and bottom lashes.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For my cheeks I used the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1940452" target="_blank">Nabla Skin Glazing Powder</a> which I'm quite certain is the only powder highlighter I own. I've also had that for almost 2 years too, I've used it so much and there is still a lot left. Another product I wanted to use again is the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1943501" target="_blank">Patrick Ta Major Headlines Blush</a>. I've had this for about 2.5 years and while I do love the formula I don't reach for it as often as I'd like because the shade is a touch too warm for me which you can see below. It's a cream and powder formula which you can use together or separately. I'd like to buy a different shade in this formula, She's Blushing and She's Flushed look like shades that would really work on my skin tone so they're firmly on my wishlist. I think this is another product that's going to be archived as there's no point in keeping something that doesn't work for my skin tone as well as I'd like it to even if I do like the formula. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">On my lips I've been playing with the new <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1943510" target="_blank">Lisa Eldridge Velveteen Liquid Lip Colours</a>, I decided to mix Affair and Fawn on the back of my hand and buff it into my lips almost like a stain and then patted <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1943514" target="_blank">Gloss Embrace</a> in Silent Sun on top as I felt this look needed something neutral but glossy. I've taken lots of detailed photographs of the Velveteens and I'll be writing a full review once I've tested them out for a while. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A few things I've been loving that are more recent favourites and quite budget friendly are the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1943517" target="_blank">e.l.f. Luminous Putty Bronzer</a> in the shade Vacay Mood, the Rimmel Kind & Free Mascara and the NYX Micro Brow Pencil. I bought the Luminous Putty Bronzer after seeing <a href="https://instagram.com/alexandra_anele?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" target="_blank">Alexandra Anele</a> using it and it looked and sounded like something that would work well on my skin type and tone. It's more of a cool toned bronzer which I find works really well on my skin as most fair bronzers are still too orange and warm for me and don't look natural. I've added a photo below comparing it to some other sculpting products I own. This is one of those products that adds some depth to my skin tone in such an easy way as it's quite sheer and blends easily so it doesn't interfere with the products underneath it. There are 8 shades which is more than some high-end brands. It also comes in the Putty Bronzer formula which is more of a semi-matte finish. It's only about €10 depending on where you buy it so it's definitely worth checking out if you're in the market for a new bronzer. The Rimmel mascara is one that I was very pleasantly surprised by as I wasn't expecting to like it. It gives my lashes length and definition and you can build it up for more volume too. It's not waterproof and the formula is more on the wet side so if you have straight lashes you may want to avoid this but if you're not concerned about your lashes holding a curl then this could be a good every day, inexpensive mascara. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I decided to add some big yellow tassel earrings as this shade of yellow with the blue made me happy and it felt like a look I'd wear on holidays in the evening- slicked-back hair, blue eyeshadow and some bold earrings. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Bottom row: eyeshadows over primer</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://nablacosmetics.com/" target="_blank">Nabla</a> is an Italian brand and therefore the products are made in Italy. I tend to like cosmetics that are manufactured in Italy and many high-end brands are made there. This palette is also 100% vegan and cruelty-free and it's €25.50 for the 6 pans which I think is quite well-priced. As you can see from the photo above, primer really makes a difference in the performance of these shadows. I know not everyone likes to wear eye primer but I usually do as I find it both enhances the appearance and the longevity of eyeshadows. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">There was a difference in the performance of the formulas in this palette. The metallic and duochrome shades performed better than the pale ones which I found a bit dry and crumbly although once you blend them out they look beautiful, as you can see on my inner corner in the close-up shots. They're the kind of shades that are great for blending out the deeper blues. I've seen reviews where people have criticised the addition of the bronze shade Marseille, in a predominantly blue-toned palette but I love it and I know that bronze and blue work well together as they're such opposites. The photos don't capture the full effect of these shades on the eyes, especially Quiet Storm as it's a duochrome and looks far more impressive in person. </span><span style="font-size: medium;">There are five colour stories in the Cutie Palette range and at €25.50 I think they're a great option if you don't want to spend a lot of money. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">As much as I love the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1943538" target="_blank">Skin Realist Tinted Balm</a>, it only has seven shades and brands love to describe small shade ranges as being "flexible" so while I found a shade that works for me, I know there will be plenty of people who can't and therefore I can't really recommend it. They have a foundation which has 30 shades but it appears to be in the process of being discontinued.</span> <span style="font-size: medium;">Nabla is one of those brands that I rarely see people talk about but I have enjoyed the products I've tried from them so far. Their new <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1943540" target="_blank">Beyond Jelly Lipsticks</a> and single eyeshadows look beautiful and I've heard good things about their Brow Ambition pen. Apart from that there's nothing else that I'd go out of my way to try. In an oversaturated market it's hard to stand out but I wanted to demonstrate this palette as a means of "shopping my stash" and using the products in my collection that have been neglected. </span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjop-q2Z32U827hXoLpFbcLxrwvB7DIq8snxbnOw0sccmn91qkF4mgQDuCrlbJpKrrly3aibFVYIxNVKQoUaE5y3_yKOzHcTAPtESVrD09UnBDs5FT2PX4-CipmhrE4GtZEGNTBIzmdPWnxzh__iVfHwCx1xxxJ-BwlOq4CoiRgbjHpqiokmSn70LuhAOc/s2333/SW14.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1555" data-original-width="2333" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjop-q2Z32U827hXoLpFbcLxrwvB7DIq8snxbnOw0sccmn91qkF4mgQDuCrlbJpKrrly3aibFVYIxNVKQoUaE5y3_yKOzHcTAPtESVrD09UnBDs5FT2PX4-CipmhrE4GtZEGNTBIzmdPWnxzh__iVfHwCx1xxxJ-BwlOq4CoiRgbjHpqiokmSn70LuhAOc/w640-h426/SW14.png" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<a href="https://rstyle.me/+i4QrkbuU7jVNotOMNt0jHQ" target="_blank">Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch Primer</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1913075" target="_blank">Auric Cosmetics Glow Lust Radiant Luminizer</a> (Morganite)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1940335" target="_blank">Nabla Skin Realist Beautifying Tinted Balm</a> (1 Fair)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1648815" target="_blank">Smashbox Under Eye Brightening Corrector</a> (Light/Medium)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+2ezAMnQmrWEwe_Gay0GsHw" target="_blank">Danessa Myricks Vision Flush</a> (Nutcracker)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1940409" target="_blank">e.l.f.

Barbara Millicent Roberts (Barbie's full name) was invented by Ruth Handler, who was one of the founders of Mattel, Inc. along with her husband Elliot (</span>Barbie and Ken were named after the Handler's children Barbara and Kenneth) and Harold Matson. Ruth was apparently inspired by a German doll called the Bild Lilli which was based on a German comic strip character from a tabloid newspaper. The Lilli doll was launched in 1955 and marketed toward adults as a racy, joke gift that was sold in tobacconists and newsagents. After a lawsuit from the inventors of the Lilli doll, Mattel bought the rights to Bild Lilli in 1964 and I suppose the rest is history. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">You're either a Barbie person or you're not. To me, a Barbie doll represents joy in its purest form. It's Christmas mornings and birthdays. It's those rare trips to the toy shop and looking up at the faced-off rows of reflective plastic and pink and dreaming of being able to take home one of each. It's pulling back the wrapping paper and seeing that pink B and the endless possibilities your imagination would allow during playtime. Seeing your sister's face light up on her birthday and wondering how long it would be until you could reasonably ask to play with her new Barbie. It was plastic dolphins, crimped hair, lost shoes, tulle, glitter, blue eyeshadow and pink lipstick. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I was so excited when I learned that Greta Gerwig was going to be directing the Barbie movie. I've been a fan of her work since her 'mumblecore' days with films like Hannah Takes the Stairs, Baghead and her directorial debut Nights and Weekends. Some of my favourite films starring her are those directed by Noah Baumbach (her now husband), particularly Greenberg, Frances Ha and Mistress America. She is slowly taking on all of my childhood memories with her adaptation of Little Women, Barbie and apparently she is set to write and direct adaptations of The Chronicles of Narnia. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I haven't seen Barbie yet but the press tour and marketing for the film have made me so excited to see it and it's been so much fun to see everything surrounding the film's release like the style, makeup and soundtrack. Even Lisa Eldridge is involved as she did the makeup for Dua Lipa's 'Dance the Night' music video (which my daughter is obsessed with) and apparently, her makeup products were used in the film so I'll be keeping an eye out to see if I can recognise anything. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I went three years without a single trip to the cinema and only recently, a couple of months ago, I went for the first time since March 2020. The cinema has always been my happy place so not going for such a long time was difficult. It's something that brings me so much joy, sitting for two hours and concentrating on one thing without distraction, choosing your snacks beforehand and the moment when the lights dim and you wonder if you're about to watch your new favourite film. I'm going to see Barbie with my sister next week and whether I love it or not, the whole thing has given me a much-needed boost of dopamine and I'm embracing every part of it. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>There were obviously many inclusivity and representation issues with the Barbie that I grew up with and thankfully that seems to be ever changing. </span>Barbie, as I remember her, represents a simpler time, pre-internet, pre-social media, and pre-responsibilities. It represents a brief few years between Cabbage Patch Kids and Spice Girls. It's a time that I can never get back, but maybe for a few hours next week, I can be transported to that time and the carefree feeling of not having any worries. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Below are some of the Barbies (and Kens) that I remember from my childhood belonging to my sister and I. My absolute favourite was Rapunzel Barbie from 1994, I'll never forget how elated I was when I opened the wrapping paper and saw her. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh39agFhPq0l9rFASUgxwZ5CI9qgoRoQET5G3Jt2OSpZzGPs-6iwnvMrORfAJtTHQYDz5qPRa8iU3AgporKDJumJ9UeakSlr6AuNaTv6qoa1lOYwi-iBHhQ94i-7bJ-ADJIYoY_JxvFsM1a8xDaoBowwcz41P_f4MGowztgxqurs8YGgQppKsCzSM14LU/s3263/IMG_3679.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3263" data-original-width="2331" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh39agFhPq0l9rFASUgxwZ5CI9qgoRoQET5G3Jt2OSpZzGPs-6iwnvMrORfAJtTHQYDz5qPRa8iU3AgporKDJumJ9UeakSlr6AuNaTv6qoa1lOYwi-iBHhQ94i-7bJ-ADJIYoY_JxvFsM1a8xDaoBowwcz41P_f4MGowztgxqurs8YGgQppKsCzSM14LU/w458-h640/IMG_3679.png" width="458" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXpGLVEb4_ResqXEGzOeT_ycqv7yKvuSjZaD9zCOhRn2f5IPrNyzihaGIpZP40UCyb9M5ai8HeOB_gQbXR0GFGiCiSMDJzVBnkEnus1xP6M31F34LWr6T9Vy3QcmslZDEEqtsKaEsy6Gmgm2IPClZMYTkfOl72gRduWn807Uit5uNpefMuENwWuWburWo/s3263/IMG_3681.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3263" data-original-width="2331" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXpGLVEb4_ResqXEGzOeT_ycqv7yKvuSjZaD9zCOhRn2f5IPrNyzihaGIpZP40UCyb9M5ai8HeOB_gQbXR0GFGiCiSMDJzVBnkEnus1xP6M31F34LWr6T9Vy3QcmslZDEEqtsKaEsy6Gmgm2IPClZMYTkfOl72gRduWn807Uit5uNpefMuENwWuWburWo/w458-h640/IMG_3681.png" width="458" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Last week I decided to recreate the makeup of the original Barbie from 1959. Two years ago I recreated the makeup of the 60th anniversary Barbie and the makeup was fairly similar but I wanted to film the look for a Reel on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/olgreeneyesemma/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> which you can watch below if you haven't seen it yet. Of course, I completely leaned in with black and white stripes, gold hoops and white sunglasses. I also gave myself a fake curly fringe to top it all off. I had so much fun with this look and I hope you enjoyed it too!

I decided to start these in-depth empties posts last year as a means of keeping track of my consumption of beauty products. I enjoy totting everything up at the end and seeing how much I spent versus how much I was sent as press samples. These posts are supposed to be the antithesis to short-form content that, by nature often doesn't allow for much detail. My attention span has gotten much worse over the past few years and I think short-form content on social media isn't helping. I spend more time watching long-form content on YouTube, listening to podcasts or reading articles and newsletters as I find more value in that kind of content. I do enjoy making makeup application Reels on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/olgreeneyesemma/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and it's something that fits into my life at the moment as they're relatively easy (albeit time-consuming) to film, edit and upload. I would love to make YouTube videos going more in-depth with makeup applications and reviews but at the moment I don't have the spare time on top of everything else I'm already doing. My goal is to start uploading content for YouTube once a week and I feel that could be manageable.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I love writing about beauty and I think written reviews of products are still valuable and something I look for when researching a potential new purchase. Some of the following reviews are longer than others depending on how interesting I found the product. There are a few more flops than usual this time. Some new to me brands and products that have become quick favourites and some "meh" products that aren't memorable enough to warrant a repurchase. At the end, I break down the cost of everything including how many products were press samples or bought by me and how many were travel size and repurchases. There are 48 products to get through, so let's get started. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy1fFR83a4ItWSqTFR5wJHOVcR4lS8oEzUGS_vs24J1V--abo9ncEmq1mcDFRhq2I5ajZi6WnGWExjvV-CmptO7g5HPbv2_ItXQTgX8349Hmj0AGmGfs7uVRpAHfOYAzClQu3kCycN1HmpnF4OEXOBfUzgDXpm3-Gi-DR-jcVhk4JPdZzURwVtiechaWw/s3264/IMG_3272.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2176" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy1fFR83a4ItWSqTFR5wJHOVcR4lS8oEzUGS_vs24J1V--abo9ncEmq1mcDFRhq2I5ajZi6WnGWExjvV-CmptO7g5HPbv2_ItXQTgX8349Hmj0AGmGfs7uVRpAHfOYAzClQu3kCycN1HmpnF4OEXOBfUzgDXpm3-Gi-DR-jcVhk4JPdZzURwVtiechaWw/w426-h640/IMG_3272.png" width="426" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1224402" target="_blank">Escentric Molecules Molecule 02</a></i> 30ml, Made in England €55</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This is one of my all-time favourite scents. I'm fairly certain this is my third bottle. I started my Escentric Molecules journey about 9/10 years ago with <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793653" target="_blank">Molecule 01</a> which was one of those products raved about by YouTubers and bloggers at the time. I absolutely loved it and bought several bottles of it over the coming years. Then maybe 4/5 years ago one of the girls in work walked past me leaving behind the most intoxicating aroma that was oddly familiar, so I chased her down to find out what perfume she was wearing and it was this one. We had chatted about both loving Molecule 01 before and so she wasn't surprised when I asked her about Molecule 02. She didn't want to tell too many people about it because she loved and wanted it for herself which I completely understand. However I won't be gatekeeping here and I have to tell you that this is a scent unlike any other. It's replaced Molecule 01 for me, although I love both, 02 is my favourite. If you don't know about this brand they create scents based on a single molecule, hence the name. Molecule 02 consists of the molecule Ambroxan, described as having a "<a href="https://ie.escentric.com/collections/escentric-molecules-02/products/molecule-02-30ml-cased" target="_blank">subtle sensual quality with a radiant, long-lasting dry down"</a>. Ambroxan has been derived from Clary Sage since the 1950s. This vegan Ambroxan is a crystal with a chemical structure identical to the ambrox derived from ambergris. Ambergris is a substance that is thought to be a by-product of the intestines of the sperm whale because of their cephalopod-rich diet. It washes up on shore or can be found floating in the water. When exposed to the elements and dried out, it has a musky scent that made it a desirable ingredient for perfumers for years as well as its ability to help with how well scent lasts on the skin. It is now a rarity and therefore one of the most expensive perfume ingredients. Nowadays, most perfumers use a lab-created equivalent. I recommend having a look at the list of perfumes that contain ambroxan on <a href="https://www.fragrantica.com/notes/Ambroxan-563.html" target="_blank">Fragrantica</a>. It seems to be in a lot of traditionally "masculine" scents, although I never pay much attention to that, if I like a scent I don't care for whom it is marketed. I know that people say that it can smell different from person to person as the molecule mixes with your own scent on your skin. To me it smells comforting, like someone who smells naturally amazing. It's like that feeling of hugging someone and they just smell great but you can't quite put your finger on why. To me, it smells musky, creamy, clean and earthy. Escentric Molecules make discovery sets where you get sample sizes of all of their scents to try out. If you're ever in a department store that carries this scent, definitely check it out, it's so uniquely exquisite. I will most definitely be repurchasing it. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://www.boots.ie/bionsen-mineral-active-aerosol-deodorant-150ml-10308564">Bionsen Deodorant Mineral Active for Sensitive Skin</a></i> 150ml, Made in Italy €4.49</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I mentioned one of the deodorants from this brand in one of <a href="http://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2023/04/empties-4-1200-worth-of-beauty-products.html" target="_blank">my previous empties posts</a>. I like this brand because of the scent and because they don't sting my underarms after hair removal (not directly after). There's not really much more I can say. I'm using the roll-on version of this at the moment and I like that too. I've been using this brand for years and I will probably continue to do so. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1776251">Yonka Paris Phyto-Bain Shower & Bath Oil</a></i> 100ml, 6m, Made in France €41</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I attended a Yonka Paris press event last Autumn which was my introduction to the brand as I'd never tried it before that. I absolutely loved the scent, which is predominantly lavender and of course, the texture which is a rich oil. It has that quintessential 'Spa' aroma that relaxes you immediately. I can't help but compare this to the Rituals Shower Oil reviewed below and the fact that this product is half the amount of the Rituals one but 4 times the price. I love the scent of lavender and I found this product to smell and feel quite luxurious and I looked forward to using it. However, I did use it more as a shower oil because I don't take baths too often. I did feel almost as if I was wasting it by using it in the shower. I think it would be a great product for someone who takes baths and wants the room filled with that relaxing lavender aroma. It comes in a glass bottle with a twist-off cap and I did find that slightly awkward to use, especially in the shower as I was worried about dropping it. I loved everything else about this product, however, I couldn't justify the price to buy it again for myself. As much as it was a sensorial dream, the price is always a huge factor for me. I love the Rituals shower oils and even though they may not be as cosmetically elegant as this one, I could buy 8 of them for the equivalent amount in mls of the Yonka one so it's a no-brainer for me.</span></p><p><i style="font-size: large;"><br /></i></p><p><i style="font-size: large;">**<a href="https://www.rituals.com/eng-ie/the-ritual-of-sakura-shower-oil-1116453.html">Rituals 'The Ritual of Sakura' Caring Shower Oil</a></i><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium;">200ml, 12m, Made in The Netherlands €10</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I was given this as a gift for Christmas along with the shower gel in the same scent that I mentioned in my previous empties post. I've bought this product before in this exact scent as well as a few others. Shower oils are great for lazy days when I don't want to or don't have time to moisturise my body after showering. I have quite dry skin on my body and if I don't use a moisturiser it can feel rough and dry but this gives me some added moisture compared to a shower gel. As I mentioned when reviewing the Ritual of Sakura Shower Gel, I adore this scent as it's quite powdery and comforting. I love this product and I'll definitely buy it again myself at some point in the future. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs6YrRzoYJ6UXkJZfRvPfCzDLh4MfA3qOhsIE_0LJjBW0XTTlTjEw46R2NA1UFHQqaE7jQnU3zG5KTHr3ttMnj0gMrLUBDqy5VUm-ENvBRO9kISa1e-ZmCZxjgaJS_nVp-shB3ITe23NJUpemFiWlKs4jvT53lIm2j6i1opQ-C-YIlDpD08zu_IY3xNm4/s3264/IMG_3250.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1957" data-original-width="3264" height="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs6YrRzoYJ6UXkJZfRvPfCzDLh4MfA3qOhsIE_0LJjBW0XTTlTjEw46R2NA1UFHQqaE7jQnU3zG5KTHr3ttMnj0gMrLUBDqy5VUm-ENvBRO9kISa1e-ZmCZxjgaJS_nVp-shB3ITe23NJUpemFiWlKs4jvT53lIm2j6i1opQ-C-YIlDpD08zu_IY3xNm4/w640-h384/IMG_3250.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">**<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+kxZMi_JIG7Znu158vdapLQ" target="_blank">Burt's Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter</a></i> 185g, 12m, Made in USA €17</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This was given to me as a gift when I was pregnant, around two years ago. I didn't actually finish it while I was pregnant, probably because my pregnant belly became too big and the weather was too warm to stand around moisturising my body after showering. I don't think body products aimed at pregnant women do anything too different than regular body products. This was a nice moisturiser but it wasn't particularly memorable and I don't think I'd recommend it over any other body butter or moisturiser I've used. It is fragrance-free and 99% natural if that's something you look for, particularly as you can be sensitive to certain scents when pregnant. It could be a nice gift for someone you know who is expecting but it's not something you need and I wouldn't buy it myself, pregnant or otherwise. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1777580" target="_blank">Laura Mercier Almond Coconut Body Cream</a></i> 200ml, 6m, Made in USA €65</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This past Christmas I was sent a press drop of a Laura Mercier gift set and this was one of the products in it. I gave the fragrance and Honey Bath to my mam and my sister and I kept the body cream. As far as I can tell the body range from Laura Mercier seems to have been repackaged (possibly reformulated). This jar from the gift set was 200ml, whereas the full size was 300ml and cost about €65. I absolutely loved using this product, the scent was just on the right side of gourmand for me. </span><span style="font-size: medium;">It had a rich but light texture, I think they described it as a soufflé, almost whipped texture. I found it ideal for the colder months when the skin on my body can be particularly dry. It left it feeling soft, smooth and smelling incredible and it made me look forward to moisturising my body which is not easy to do, especially in the winter when you just want to get dry and warm. It came in a glass jar with a twist-off lid, the new packaging looks like it could be plastic so a lot more practical but less luxurious. The new version is only 200ml as opposed to the original jar which was 300ml for the same price. It did last a long time, because it's quite rich, you don't need a lot of it. As much as I adored using this product and the feeling of luxury, I couldn't justify the price. I think the gift sets are good value at Christmas time if you know someone who loves body care and the Laura Mercier scents. I think it would be a great gift, but I wouldn't buy it for myself, for me it's too much money for a body cream. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1777951" target="_blank">Garnier Body Superfood 48H Moisturising Cream</a></i> (Normal to Dry Skin) 380ml, 12m, Made in Germany €12.99</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This is more my speed when it comes to body moisturiser. It's 5 times less expensive than the Laura Mercier one and almost double the amount of product. Is it as rich and luxurious and beautifully scented? Absolutely not, but it's much more affordable and doesn't make me feel guilty. Beauty products and their worth to the consumer can be largely based on the user experience but budget and value are also huge factors in your purchasing decisions. So while I enjoyed the entire user experience of the Laura Mercier body cream, this Garnier one is much less expensive and will last longer. I prefer to spend money on facial skincare, makeup, perfume etc. If a body cream smells nice and makes my skin feel moisturised that's all I'm really looking for when I buy them. I would buy this again because it worked well for my skin, it was great value for my money and it has a light, fresh scent. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN2VQGcQQCWsTiNCy67wCHAyTHejk09nZUWw3LFXF6MXwCxzvU4-ntdt0A58PwAr5rm58PVCDGQixlFvliBAKRybrIVEhVC-z69CEZNRZ0vUOdOg2fD_pE-C-mquEmHQEJw1Udg9UswjBCe5TDQR9Eg7Lze85jQD2arW4_6_cIgLvC_iXrmfau3pnQyKY/s3264/IMG_3248.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2176" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN2VQGcQQCWsTiNCy67wCHAyTHejk09nZUWw3LFXF6MXwCxzvU4-ntdt0A58PwAr5rm58PVCDGQixlFvliBAKRybrIVEhVC-z69CEZNRZ0vUOdOg2fD_pE-C-mquEmHQEJw1Udg9UswjBCe5TDQR9Eg7Lze85jQD2arW4_6_cIgLvC_iXrmfau3pnQyKY/w426-h640/IMG_3248.png" width="426" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://www.boots.ie/palmers-cocoa-butter-formula-concentrated-cream-60g-10092192?cm_mmc=ROI_PPC-_-Shopping-_-Shopping_GA-_-Palmers&utm_source=roi_ppc&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=shopping_ga&utm_term=Palmers&gclid=CjwKCAjwzJmlBhBBEiwAEJyLu6fKCvB7JDhU6JbOMB7LZ7BgDL9V_-ESUY-nMO_yrisIjhKDODzKzhoChS8QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds" target="_blank">Palmers Cocoa Butter Hand Cream</a></i> 60g, 12m, Made in USA €2.99</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I've already bought a second tube of this because I found it to be a great product. It also has that cocoa butter scent which I love. I have used and loved the body cream and body oil by Palmers so I figured I'd try the hand version. I use this during the day after washing my hands (when I remember). It's gentle and feels nourishing which is all I really look for in a hand cream. At €2.99 you can't really go wrong. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://www.boots.ie/flexitol-hard-skin-and-callus-balm-10125628?cm_mmc=ROI_PPC-_-Shopping-_-Shopping_GA-_-Flexitol&utm_source=roi_ppc&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=shopping_ga&utm_term=Flexitol&gclid=CjwKCAjwzJmlBhBBEiwAEJyLuwAYcH6V1R2MGNPMB7GGDb86faTyOmWSgbQOSmNMj5QDFb-zqVHzdRoC8JsQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds" target="_blank">Flexitol Rescue Heel Balm</a></i> 56g, Made in UK €9.99</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I will definitely repurchase this balm as I've found it works well as an overnight treatment for my feet. As gross as it is, I know most people have quite dry feet so I like to exfoliate and remove the dry and dead skin and then lather my feet in this balm. It's not the sexiest product but it works at keeping my feet soft and smooth and therefore I will be buying it again. </span></p><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>**<a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780246" target="_blank">Essie Spa Many Many Mani Intensive Hand Lotion</a></i> 20ml, 12m, Made in France €2.50 (Full size €12.95 75ml) </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I got this as a free gift with purchase from Boots when I bought a couple of Essie nail products. I had never heard of it before but I'm always happy to have another hand cream. It's quite a rich texture that leaves your hands feeling nourished so I tended to use it in the evenings. As I've already mentioned I have very dry hands and cuticles so I need something very moisturising and I found this product worked very well. It was only 20ml so not a huge amount, but I liked it enough that I'd love to try out the full size. The only issue is that I found it difficult to find the full size for sale anywhere so maybe it's being discontinued or reformulated. I wouldn't go out of my way to try to find this if it's not available on any of the usual stockists but if I see it for sale again I might buy the full size. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793866" target="_blank">Essie Apricot Nail & Cuticle Oil</a></i> 13.5ml, 24m, Made in France €10.45</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I've mentioned already that I have very dry hands and that includes my nails and cuticles. I had never tried a cuticle oil before using this one and I've had this for a couple of years now as I kept forgetting to use it. I love what this product does for my cuticles, it really moisturises the dry skin around my nails, it's the only thing that helps as a hand cream is usually not enough on its own. I think it was last year that Essie brought out a roll-on version of this cuticle oil. However, it wasn't in stock when I finished this one so I bought the L'Occitane Nail & Cuticle Oil instead. The Essie roll-on is actually a bit pricier than the brush-on glass bottle version, it's €17.45 compared to €10.45. The L'Occitane one is €16.95 but it's almost half the amount of the Essie at only 7.5mls, so I'll definitely try to find the Essie roll-on next time as it's a handy tube for keeping in my bag. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMACdgyRspiRYMVaaddF6BaIeym3UVwptpxbt4zh1JvYm9n08s8Y5YKiMfQBPBa9QtOH1tzoY_J7Jqo1ccy7kyUFMN9ly9BocwvF73BfGh_BJuJkgtDgoMXTjNqmtjSd5V6nRlFwDJwF1QSPdqrQjIHtppthUeyMBnuMx1CkwlVIaFyw22jdd2D9tNtwI/s3264/IMG_3247.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2176" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMACdgyRspiRYMVaaddF6BaIeym3UVwptpxbt4zh1JvYm9n08s8Y5YKiMfQBPBa9QtOH1tzoY_J7Jqo1ccy7kyUFMN9ly9BocwvF73BfGh_BJuJkgtDgoMXTjNqmtjSd5V6nRlFwDJwF1QSPdqrQjIHtppthUeyMBnuMx1CkwlVIaFyw22jdd2D9tNtwI/w426-h640/IMG_3247.png" width="426" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780249" target="_blank">REN Perfect Canvas Clean Jelly Oil Cleanser</a></i> 100ml, 9m, Made in UK €29</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I've had a few of these over the years and I think I've come to the realisation that although I really enjoy using it (the scent in particular) I just prefer an all-out balm cleanser. I find I have to go over my eyes a few times to get rid of all of my mascara. Granted, I do usually wear two layers and I could just remove it with my eye makeup remover first but I prefer the feeling of a balm or oil. So while I really like this product, there are cleansers I prefer so I don't think I'll be buying this again. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780261" target="_blank">Lancôme Crème- Mousse Confort</a></i> (Dry Skin) Comforting Cleansing Creamy- Foam 125ml, 12m, Made in France €35</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This was my first time trying this cleanser and I enjoyed using it. At first, the rose scent seems quite strong but it dissipates to a more fresh, light rose scent which I found pleasant. It's a cream and foam hybrid which I don't think I've experienced before but it made a great second/morning cleanser as it left my skin feeling clean but not tight or dry. I can't see myself buying this to use again because I tend to spend less money on a second/morning cleanser. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780273" target="_blank">Garnier Express 2-in-1 Eye Make-Up Remover</a></i> 125ml, 6m, Made in Poland €4.99</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I know I've mentioned this before as I tend to go through these quite often. It's an excellent waterproof eye makeup remover and I'm already using another one. I use this more often in the Summer when I tend to favour waterproof and long-wearing eye makeup due to the warm weather and hayfever which makes my eyes water. I'll usually pick up a few of these when they're on special offer. It removes my eye makeup with minimal rubbing so my eyes don't get irritated. I'll continue to repurchase this again and again. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780278" target="_blank">Lancôme Bi-Facil Clean & Care Nourishing & Soothing Instant Eye Makeup Remover</a></i> 125ml, 6m, Made in France €32</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I really enjoyed using this eye makeup remover. I'd never tried this particular formula before, it's meant to be more gentle which would be great for anyone with sensitive eyes. It does a very similar thing to the Garnier one and it's more than 6 times more expensive for the same amount of product. I didn't notice a difference in how easily they removed my waterproof eye makeup. They're also both owned by L'Oréal as is <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793653" target="_blank">La Roche-Posay</a> who makes a similar product and that's half the price of this one. I wouldn't buy this myself purely because there are much less expensive products that do the exact same thing. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="3264" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7nwR6aKr765jhhAFfzD5C4azDyko6ustPxJdZClQidjKpBK83txk8MvItV8WN8qAFP3JC5URKvZFuvO7kZ3k0fzIxMs30o5JMAC_KY9IVmaOMAcZ-VHcdTVUe5aLSbyiBHGONOY6_q6la7C949QpTxpkgJaemuYPrVDOfqudg2wgabgEUQU1Jk-oAgXE/w640-h640/IMG_3246.png" width="640" /></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780286" target="_blank"><i>Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Lotion Exfoliant</i> </a>100ml, 12m, Made in USA €39</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I've had this product for longer than I care to admit and it's taken me so long to finish it because honestly I just don't notice a difference when I use it. I have had a bottle of this in the past and I think they reformulated it because this bottle had a different consistency. I preferred the older formula and I wouldn't buy this again because it didn't do what it claimed it would for my skin. I know this is a cult product for so many people but it didn't work for me. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+PY-vhENFPv0Cf7r-17dg9w" target="_blank">Clarins My Clarins Clear-Out Targeted Blemish Lotion</a></i> 13ml, 9m, Made in France €19</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The brand Mario Badescu has a well-known product called <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793656" target="_blank">Drying Lotion</a> that I've always wanted to try and it's very similar to this one in the delivery system and what it claims to do. It's a bi-phase lotion containing a liquid and a powder that you don't shake up, you dip a cotton bud into the liquid and then apply it to your face overnight. It contains salicylic acid (reduces the redness of blemishes) and zinc oxide (heals and absorbs excess oil). I wouldn't apply this on any broken skin so I mainly use it on those red, angry spots that tend to stick around. I found this product significantly brought down any redness and swelling and helped flatten the spots so that the texture wasn't as noticeable. I didn't use it that often, only as needed with certain types of breakouts so it lasted for a long time and I definitely want to buy it myself as it's such a great product to have on hand. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780318" target="_blank">SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic High Potency Triple Antioxidant Treatment</a></i> 30ml, 12m, Made in France €185</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I was given this bottle at a press event last December. I started using it straight away because it's a product I've always wanted to try. I used it every day apart from around 3/4 days when I was away and didn't bring it with me. The instructions say to use 4-5 drops, so I used 5 as I have a bigger face and it lasted me 4 months. My jaw dropped when I looked up the price of this product. This is without a doubt the most expensive beauty product I have ever used in my life. When I first got it, I posted about it on Instagram and I can't remember the last time I had so many replies about a product. The majority of people were positive and said that they loved it and that nothing else compares to it. Since I ran out of this I've had continuous breakouts and I can't tell if it's because it was helping my skin or I'm just going through a rough patch with my skin. They have several serums for various skin concerns. The C E Ferulic is for people who want to address the signs of skin aging. As the name suggests it has 15% Vitamin C in the form of L-Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid. It claims to provide advanced environmental protection, improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and firms and brightens the complexion. They recommend it for people with dry, normal, sensitive or combination skin and for people with sensitised, discoloured, dehydrated or aging skin. I found it did make a difference to my skin's overall texture and appearance. I have combination skin with some pigmentation, dryness and signs of aging so I like to use a vitamin C serum as I find it's an ingredient that helps to improve the brightness of my skin. I was sad when I finished this serum, as I always am when I finish a product that helps my skin. The big question is would I buy it myself? Most online retailers that stock this product sell it for €185. It lasted me for 4 months which makes it €46 per month. To me, that is expensive. I think most people would consider that expensive for a skincare product. As much as I think this product does what it claims to do, I don't think you need to spend €185 to get a good vitamin C serum. In fact, I know you don't because my favourite vitamin C serum is the one from <a href="https://rstyle.me/+wXpazb6pzQGuFStZQz4etA" target="_blank">Pestle & Mortar</a>, which costs €76 for a 40ml bottle. That's also expensive but any time I've bought it has been when there was 20-30% off and it lasts me around 6-7 months. I would probably buy this again if it was less expensive but €185 is far too much money for me to spend on one product. I could probably buy an entire skincare routine for that price. I can't justify the price and I would never pay that much for a single skincare product no matter how good the product is for my skin. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780324" target="_blank">Emma Hardie Vit C Intense Daily Serum</a></i> 30ml, 12m, Made in Switzerland €68</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I started using this serum after the SkinCeuticals. I didn't find it as effective as the C E Ferulic and the Pestle & Mortar one is a similar price with more product in the bottle so I won't be repurchasing this one.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">**<i><a href="https://www.boots.ie/kinvara-skincare-10297546" target="_blank">Kinvara 24Hr Rosehip Face Serum</a></i> 30ml, 6m, Made in Ireland €32.95</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I bought and used up one of these on the recommendation of some of the girls in work and I did really enjoy using it. Not long before I left to go on maternity leave, one of my friends from work bought a second one for me as a gift as she knew I liked it. I didn't open it for about a year as I was using other serums. If you're into natural skincare, this brand is definitely worth checking out. They're also an Irish brand which is another selling point for me as it's nice to support local brands. It's quite concentrated so even though it's only 30mls it does last a long time. It's meant to calm and hydrate and has been recommended for people who have acne, rosacea, psoriasis and eczema. It contains vitamin E and plant extracts like evening primose oil, jojoba, rosehip, seabuckthorn, aloe vera, rosemary and sweet almond oils. It has quite a strong citrus scent which I loved but it's something to note as I know it won't be for everyone. This won't tackle specific skin needs but it does the basics if that's what you're looking for. While I do really like this product, I don't know if I'd buy it again as I prefer the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793661" target="_blank">bareMinerals Skinlongevity Serum</a>.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>*<a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780356" target="_blank">Kiehls Ultra Light Daily UV Defense SPF 50</a></i> 60ml, €47</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I'm quite certain that I was sent a press sample of this years ago but I'm not 100% sure, I have tried their sun protection products before, you can read a review <a href="http://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2017/05/kiehls-actively-correcting-and.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Like most people who are serious about sun protection, I have tried many different sunscreens over the years and this is up there with my favourites. First of all it's 60ml which is great as it's a skincare item you should be wearing a lot of every day. When trying out a sunscreen I look for SPF 50 because I'm so fair-skinned. I also want something I can wear alone and under makeup. If it doesn't work under makeup there's no point as I know I won't end up wearing it and I'll use a different one instead. I'd rather spend more money on an SPF I like than an expensive product elsewhere in my skincare routine. This one doesn't feel heavy and it plays well with any foundation I've tried over it. I like to apply sunscreen 20-30 minutes before makeup where possible so that it has time to fully dry down and settle onto my skin before I start applying makeup . I've found that doing it this way means that I don't get dreaded pilling and my makeup sits much better on my skin throughout the day, especially if it's very warm like it has been here recently. Sometimes I use my serums (usually hydrating and vitamin c) and then apply this on top forgoing a moisturiser as I find this hydrating enough. I know that €47 is expensive for any skincare product but if you're looking for a good SPF, I'd recommend trying this out in person to see if you like the texture. As much as I loved this, I still think I prefer the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-566493" target="_blank">Ultra Violette</a> ones and the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-560723" target="_blank">Supergoop</a> ones I've used. I love the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793665" target="_blank">La Roche-Posay</a> range too and they're more affordable. I have a few others to try out now that this is empty and I actually have another two open that I've been using for the past while so I'll be reviewing those soon. I'm planning on writing a blog post about my favourite sun protection products as it's something I'm so passionate about. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuQeBTOG78aMJhN6NKADMbW39JDfHpMIR4zlF4ebFp2aWl137S7Vl8EUke8Jgp8Ud1-yPRgBkt06jCIDVjcozO5BYruszFb7-CWBih9LjMens-C6u2nAPEeviYN-wp9P3zzHZnhCoj05QQAknfjn6uGaGXbATfZdR7pd0c1dgrNNkox1z3G60fOra73q8/s3264/IMG_3245.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="3264" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuQeBTOG78aMJhN6NKADMbW39JDfHpMIR4zlF4ebFp2aWl137S7Vl8EUke8Jgp8Ud1-yPRgBkt06jCIDVjcozO5BYruszFb7-CWBih9LjMens-C6u2nAPEeviYN-wp9P3zzHZnhCoj05QQAknfjn6uGaGXbATfZdR7pd0c1dgrNNkox1z3G60fOra73q8/w640-h640/IMG_3245.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780375" target="_blank"><i>Dieux Auracle</i> </a><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780375" target="_blank">Reviving Eye Gel</a> </i>20ml, 6m €40</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I have been following the brand Dieux with great interest for a while now. I started by following one of the brand's co-founders, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/charlotteparler/?hl=en" target="_blank">Charlotte Palermino</a> who, if you don't know her, uses her account to discuss the beauty industry with a critical eye. She breaks down beauty myths and creates informative content that is both engaging and educational. I have been wanting to try Dieux since it launched and when they announced they had started shipping to Europe, I placed an order straight away. I have been using their Forever Eye Masks for almost a year now after buying them on <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1738835" target="_blank">Cult Beauty</a> (that's the only Dieux product available through a European retailer). I have very dry under eyes and I was hoping that regularly using eye patches would help and it truly has. I use them with the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793671" target="_blank">L'Oréal Revitalift Eye Serum</a> and they help to depuff and hydrate my eye area and it's meant that my makeup has been sitting so much better under my eyes. I'm using up a couple of eye creams that I was sent at the moment but once they're gone I would love to repurchase Auracle. The only thing that's stopping me is the additional cost of shipping and customs from the US as Dieux currently doesn't have a European-based supplier. They have recently been added to the website <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780394" target="_blank">Soko Glam</a> so I'll see if they have cheaper shipping. I did get 20% off my first order from the Dieux website and that brought the price down but without the discount it is quite pricey. I already want to repurchase their Instant Angel Moisturizer and I haven't even finished it yet so maybe buying the two products will make it seem a bit more worthwhile to place an order. I'm really hoping that they will be stocked on a more EU shipping-friendly website soon, I can definitely see them being added</span> <span style="font-size: medium;">to Space NK in the future. If you've been curious about this brand, just know the products do not disappoint and I'm already a huge fan. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780433" target="_blank">Lancôme Advanced Génefique Yeux Youth Activating and Light Infusing Eye Cream</a></i> 5ml, 6m, Made in France €21 (Full size €64)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This was a small sample size that came as part of a gift with purchase press drop. I brought it on a weekend away with me in April and continued to use it until it was finished. It was only 5mls so it didn't last too long, but enough to know that it's a beautiful eye cream. It has a texture that's almost like a thick gel but it feels rich and nourishing. I used it in the evenings while I used my Dieux Auracle during the day. Once again the price is the only thing that would put me off buying this again because I loved using it and the results it gave the skin in my eye area. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793679" target="_blank">Glossier</a> Bubblewrap</i> 22ml, 6m, Made in USA €27 </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This product has been discontinued for about two years now. I bought it just before they announced that they were no longer producing it. I won't talk about the product much because you can't buy it anymore so there's no point. I had this in my stash of eye creams and I only got around to using it at the end of last year, I figured I needed to use it up sooner rather than later as I had bought it over a year before that. Glossier never really gave an explanation as to why they discontinued it. I was disappointed when I heard the news as I really liked it. I had gone through a few in the two years since it had been released and I was confused as to why they would stop making a product after only two years. Of course, this exact situation has happened before with Glossier. All of the Glossier Play products were discontinued less than two years after its launch. I was probably one of the few people disappointed as I loved the line and I actually think it was ahead of its time in a way. I was a brand affiliate for a few years but I'm not anymore and tbh I think the past three years it has lost favour with me. Many products I loved are no longer favourites and have been replaced by better formulas, packaging and marketing. It's sad because I would have considered myself a big Glossier fan but that's mostly subsided and there are few products I would actually buy now. I don't see many of the people I follow mention them either and I haven't been all that enamoured with any of the recent new releases. I hope they manage to turn things around and come up with something that makes me want to buy from them again. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780457" target="_blank">La Roche-Posay Toleraine Dermallergo Crème Daily Repair Moisturiser</a></i> 40ml, 12m, Made in France €21.50</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I received this as a press sample back in December and I started using it quite soon afterwards. It was a great moisturiser to use during the colder months. It has been formulated for sensitive and ultra-sensitive skin, skin that is allergy-prone or that can suffer from redness, tightness, itchiness and dryness. It's supposed to reinforce and protect the skin barrier too. I don't have particularly sensitive skin but I still found this to be an excellent moisturiser. It's also ideal for use in conjunction with acids and retinoids or if your skin barrier has been compromised. I love La Roche-Posay and I have used their products for years. I haven't had to buy a moisturiser in a long time but I would definitely buy this one myself. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780465" target="_blank">Biossance Squalane + Rose Vegan Lip Balm</a></i> 15g, 12m, Made in USA €14</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I bought this from Cult Beauty late last year because I was already making an order and I knew I was going to need a new lip balm soon. My usual <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793684" target="_blank">Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask</a> wasn't in stock so I took a chance on this one, which was a mistake. I don't know what it was about this lip balm, but after wearing it at night my lips felt dry in the morning which I've never experienced before. I don't think it was occlusive enough for my lips, perhaps it would have been better as a daytime lip balm that you can reapply every few hours but it just didn't do what I needed it to and I found myself wishing it away. I didn't want to waste my money by not finishing it so I did. I was so excited when it was em</span><span style="font-size: medium;">pty which is something I rarely say about a product. Sadly the next lip balm I started is even worse and I don't think I'll be able to use it up, I find it so horrible to use in every way. I have a mini <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793701" target="_blank">Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask</a> that I bought from <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793687" target="_blank">Stylevana</a> to keep me going. I won't be buying this again and I can't recommend it. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">**<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1570282" target="_blank">Jouer Essential Lip Enhancer</a></i> 10ml €14.60</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I was sent this by a friend of mine who is a makeup artist, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/veilbyaislinghickey/?hl=en" target="_blank">Aisling Hickey</a>. She mentioned that this is her favourite product to prep her client's lips for makeup and I asked her about it and the next thing I know she had very generously sent me one from her stash. I wasn't sure at first and I wasn't overly in love with the scent which is a very light, synthetic rosy scent. However, after using it for a while and then actually finishing the tube, I can completely understand why she loves this product so much. It's a great product to prepare your lips for lipstick as it gives instant moisturisation leaving your lips feeling soft and smooth. I usually applied it after I finished my skincare or before I started my makeup to give it time to do its work. I'll definitely buy it again at some point because I really enjoyed using it and found it excellent, particularly during the colder months or before wearing a matte or long-wearing lip product. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX6SIaN-QOXeJjBZmZRNwsZGDBgyVlbs8J5VLcsWaPwbGph5XfnZm_IFTjo8cptvYR5EJyh8XPa-Uoorh98fC23OBJ_L-p2BAuoVGgUSKiyENfnQDm9DesPhwImECiKXKfMVMRKxFohpm5XsxsI8iIHKsjIEEshRYrxyMYwQxXX9r_aHKHSulxO13Tq6k/s3263/IMG_3271.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1903" data-original-width="3263" height="374" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX6SIaN-QOXeJjBZmZRNwsZGDBgyVlbs8J5VLcsWaPwbGph5XfnZm_IFTjo8cptvYR5EJyh8XPa-Uoorh98fC23OBJ_L-p2BAuoVGgUSKiyENfnQDm9DesPhwImECiKXKfMVMRKxFohpm5XsxsI8iIHKsjIEEshRYrxyMYwQxXX9r_aHKHSulxO13Tq6k/w640-h374/IMG_3271.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+2Lq2ZqH6OPOvrkqFDubpVQ" target="_blank">The Body Shop Cleansing Conditioner Jamaican Black Castor Oil</a></i> 400ml, 12m, Made in Poland €14</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I've never been sent PR from The Body Shop, but they contacted me a while ago asking if they could send me their new range for curly hair. Of course, I said yes because I'm always interested in trying products that are specifically for curly hair. I'm a big fan of a cleansing conditioner or co-wash as they cleanse my hair and scalp but leave it feeling moisturised which is ideal for curly hair as it tends to be drier. First of all, this smells incredible! One of the most heavenly scents I've ever experienced from a hair product. Jamaican Black Castor Oil is considered to be an all-around excellent ingredient for hair. It's sulphate-free and also contains shea butter so it's a very nourishing product for people with coily and curly hair. I just looked up the price of this as I started writing about it (just in case somehow you haven't noticed, price is a huge factor for me). It's quite a big bottle, 400ml for €14. I haven't bought anything from the Body Shop in years but I was expecting it to be more expensive so I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed using this product, I went through it quite quickly as I had very long hair when I was using it so I'd like to buy it myself to see how long I'd get from it as I only wash my hair twice a week max. This range is for sure one to look into if you have curly or coily hair. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780504" target="_blank">Amika The Kure Intense Bond Repair Mask</a></i> 250ml, 12m, Made in Israel €40</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I loved this hair mask. I have tried a few Amika products and I've found that they work very well for my hair type. I got this in the Cosmetips X Katie Jane Hughes bag that I bought last year and wrote about here. I probably never would have bought this myself because I don't tend to use hair masks that often but I can say with assurance that this is the best hair mask I've ever used. I don't always notice a difference when I use different hair products but this really made my hair look and feel better. I will definitely buy it again at some point as it's great to use before a special occasion or if you feel your hair is in need of some TLC. It's €40 for the full size but you can get a smaller 100ml size for €25.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+pDVCxM0fZlV6rWt1ZSQr5w" target="_blank">Percy & Reed Volumising No Oil Oil</a></i> 60ml, 12m, Made in UK €23</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This is a volumising serum for fine hair. It feels similar to an oil but it's not. It could be a good option for people with fine hair who want volume but don't want anything that will weigh their hair down. It also helps with frizz and humidity and gives heat protection. I can't remember when I got this, it was definitely a few years ago, I think it was in one of those M&S beauty bags. I don't think I ever would have bought this myself but I really loved it and it smells incredible too. It also lasts a really long time because you don't need a lot of it. It does have silicones which I know some people like to avoid as you can get build-up in your hair. I don't think I'd buy this again as I'm very happy with the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793704" target="_blank">JVN</a> styling products I've been using over the past 7/8 months. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYPqTMbzCTQFgE_6kpscvwWMfgXZlY-4sYjCqPfw1mxuJ87yccUILWy1-FMgBzfQfMy5DAjH4QYSsZI_R1_9Af8_WWpWvaCVzEz8_VHovN4-1CBkjkf1t5tWeQxGnlPK7jzA9zFEuL4P5Hre9duFSegcwJo6OE_I2vZTOPxxDPtXX3TIrym-gNT7_99UU/s3264/IMG_3270.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2176" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYPqTMbzCTQFgE_6kpscvwWMfgXZlY-4sYjCqPfw1mxuJ87yccUILWy1-FMgBzfQfMy5DAjH4QYSsZI_R1_9Af8_WWpWvaCVzEz8_VHovN4-1CBkjkf1t5tWeQxGnlPK7jzA9zFEuL4P5Hre9duFSegcwJo6OE_I2vZTOPxxDPtXX3TIrym-gNT7_99UU/w426-h640/IMG_3270.png" width="426" /></span></a></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780533" target="_blank">JVN Complete Pre-Wash Scalp Oil</a></i> 50ml, 12m, Made in USA €29.50</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I reviewed this in my last <a href="http://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2023/04/empties-4-1200-worth-of-beauty-products.html" target="_blank">empties post</a> and I'm currently on my third bottle so I suppose that should tell you everything. I'm a big fan of this product. I buy it in a <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793717" target="_blank">set</a> for €27 which comes with a travel-size <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780568" target="_blank">Air Dry Cream</a> and <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793706" target="_blank">Instant Recovery Serum</a>. It works out less expensive than buying the full size on its own and I usually wait until Space NK has 20% off so it ends up being a really good deal. As I mentioned in my last review of it, I apply this to my scalp about 15-30 minutes before showering and use the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793725" target="_blank">Tangle Teezer Scalp Brush</a> to massage my scalp in circular motions. I use it maybe once a week or any time I feel that my hair has product build-up and I want to really massage my scalp and give it some TLC. It's vegan, silicone-free and sulphate-free. It contains ingredients that promote a healthy scalp, remove product build-up, nourish the hair and soothe the skin. I've noticed less hair loss and an overall improvement in my hair since I started using this and therefore I'm going to continue to buy it. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780547" target="_blank">JVN Nuture Hydrating Conditioner</a></i> 295ml, 12m, Made in USA €21</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I mentioned this in my last empties and that the pump broke so Space NK sent me another bottle. Since getting my hair cut by a significant amount, I'm more likely to repurchase this as I wouldn't be going through it so fast. As a general rule, I prefer to spend more money on products that you leave on your hair or skin. I don't like spending too much on wash-off products. As more high-end shampoos and conditioners go, these are gorgeous, the scent in particular is divine. I may buy them again at some point when there's a sale on but for now, I'm going to use my hair budget on the Pre-Wash Scalp Oil, Conditioning Mist and Air Dry Cream. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780558" target="_blank">JVN Complete Conditioning Mist</a></i> 60ml, 12m, Made in USA €8 (Full size €15)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This is a mist that you can apply to wet or dry hair as a kind of leave-in conditioner to give hydration and help smooth your hair without silicones. I prefer to use it as a refresher for day two or three hair to give my curls some extra moisture and help them keep their shape and calm frizz. I found it great for reviving my curls which is one of the biggest challenges of having curly hair, it looks great on the day you wash it and then the next day it can lose its shape. I definitely plan on buying the full size of this product. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780568" target="_blank">JVN Complete Air Dry Cream</a></i> 147ml, 12m, Made in USA €27</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I've gone through a travel size (60ml) and this full size since I first started using this at the end of last year. This is a product that you apply to damp hair and leave to air dry or diffuse and it's supposed to help with frizz due to an ingredient called hemisqualane that's an alternative to silicones. It gives definition to wavy, curly or coily hair without weighing it down and leaves it feeling soft. It's also supposed to improve hair health over time. I use this before air drying or when I use a diffuser and it really does help with definition, frizz and shine. I'm using another travel-size one that I got in the set I mentioned above from Space NK. It's a great way to try it out and now that my hair isn't as long I don't need as much which is going to help it last longer. Another definite repurchase for me. It also smells incredible as do all of the JVN products, they should make perfumes or candles in the scents. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyf58VF1e7nJiZc3RKn246IYTgG1fT60GTH45rsDVh6_Gyz-h9HuVWt3O7abjwe-Ib775ltbeuXd8wyYcZRVrPX0vUHKvQ1eiNglX0nPKuUfACDtjOoVyiOhyTULhwVJ3pvQ4hY0YKcjQyrEHhzDG6v9AXR9Il3MWswEpMr_qkN2RG5Ot2B6eLZgSlJL4/s3264/IMG_3243.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2176" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyf58VF1e7nJiZc3RKn246IYTgG1fT60GTH45rsDVh6_Gyz-h9HuVWt3O7abjwe-Ib775ltbeuXd8wyYcZRVrPX0vUHKvQ1eiNglX0nPKuUfACDtjOoVyiOhyTULhwVJ3pvQ4hY0YKcjQyrEHhzDG6v9AXR9Il3MWswEpMr_qkN2RG5Ot2B6eLZgSlJL4/w426-h640/IMG_3243.png" width="426" /></span></a></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1762754" target="_blank">Lisa Eldridge Elevated Glow Highlighter</a></i> (Cosmic Rose, Crystal Nebula) 13ml, 12m, Made in Italy €33</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I was sent both of these highlighters as part of the most incredible package of makeup from the <a href="http://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2021/06/lisa-eldridge-seamless-skin-luxuriously.html" target="_blank">Lisa Eldridge Summer Collection in 2021</a>. I would say these have been empty for about 6 months so I went through 2 in 18 months. I have already bought a new one myself, the newest and palest shade, Pink Moon. It's a liquid highlighter product that is along the same lines as the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793740" target="_blank">Glow Lust Radiant Luminizer</a> from Auric Cosmetics and the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793735" target="_blank">Hollywood Flawless Filter</a> from Charlotte Tilbury. Plenty of other brands make these kinds of products but those are the two that I have used and loved and therefore naturally I'm going to want to compare them. Like the aforementioned two products, Elevated Glow Highlighter is a multipurpose liquid highlighter that you can use under makeup, over makeup, on bare skin or mixed with other liquid products like foundation or blush. I would say it's quite different from the other two in that there isn't as much pigment. It's predominantly skincare based so it's more sheer and the glow is more from the skincare ingredients. This makes it a much more friendly product for all skin ages. I had an extra one when it launched as I placed an order too so I gave one to my mam and she loves it and has since gotten her friends onto it. It's the first highlighter she's ever used because she said it's so flattering on her skin. As my skin has started properly showing signs of aging (a privilege) I'm more concerned with wearing makeup and formulas that glide over fine lines rather than sitting in them and emphasising them. This product makes your skin look plump with an ethereal sheen that's almost undetectable as makeup. It just looks like your skin is radiant. This may not be for everyone as I know some people really like their makeup to look like makeup, but more often than not I prefer people to comment on my skin rather than my makeup. If someone can look at my face and think my skin is naturally radiant, that's when I know the products are doing what I want them to do. Obviously, if I had a special occasion or event I don't mind wearing a bit more but I always like a more natural base and then spot conceal any blemishes or redness. I find that way I can wear graphic liner, bright colours and adornments and it doesn't come across as "too much" (not that I'd mind that). I use elevated glow in all of the ways I listed above whereas with Glow Lust or HFF I'd be more inclined to use those as a cheek highlighter on top of makeup or mixed with a liquid blush. I like to use Elevated Glow almost like a primer in select areas of my face and then I'll add some to my liquid blush like the Lisa Eldridge ones, the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793750" target="_blank">Rare Beauty</a> or <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793755" target="_blank">Hindash Color Fluid</a> and it dilutes the colour and gives you an illuminating blush. It comes in a frosted glass bottle with a doe foot applicator that has a little dip in it which I find contains a perfect amount of the highlighter. I adore this product and I rarely use Glow Lust anymore because of it. I'll continue to use it as long as Lisa Eldridge makes it. Just to give some price comparisons, the Charlotte Tilbury HFF is €49 for 10ml, the Glow Lust is $46.50 for 35ml (you have to pay shipping and customs so it works out more along the lines of $65) and as you can see above the Elevated Glow is €33 for 13ml. In terms of value for money, formula, finish and ease of use, Elevated Glow is the winner. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1688330" target="_blank">Fenty Beauty Match Stix Matte Skinstick</a></i> (Amber) 7.10g, 12m, Made in USA €24</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I'm almost certain I first purchased this product halfway through 2019 and in the four years since then (what?) I've gone through two of them. I don't use it every single day but having said that it lasts such a long time. It's a great shade for creating shadows and sculpting fair skin tones. I have used other products similar like the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793759" target="_blank">Danessa Myricks Vision Flush</a> in Nutcracker which is a cool-toned brown liquid colour product and the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793755" target="_blank">Hindash Color Fluids</a> which I mix to create the shade I want. I love both of those products too but the Match Stix is so handy because it's a cream stick so you can apply it directly to your face or use a brush to pick some up and then blend it out. You'll find this in almost all of the makeup looks featured on my blog or on Instagram. A firm favourite of mine and I already bought a backup a while ago that I thought I would need sooner but as I said it last much longer than you think. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780604" target="_blank">about-face Smoothing Shadow Fix</a></i> 12ml, 9m, Made in USA €15.25</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I bought this to try out instead of my usual <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1785436" target="_blank">Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion</a>. Every time I've tried another primer it hasn't been as good as the Urban Decay one. This one was quite similar to the UD one in its delivery system and texture. However, I found it more difficult to blend eyeshadow over it and that's not something you want from a primer. I have since repurchased the UD one and I don't think I'll ever stray from it again. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdA8lO33Q-SqytZ17_ED2fPQjSw0vB0nF9sbOC6o6DpLd6JV6z4yOs_HdGS3kw4Jk-OAX534ernM9q93zs7rtrP4FnOIRVgiK62EQ4Z3TbwjG8WJn1li0waLFYzGNvQ6MqqfaEeCQa5UIj6LcWBhSkoSyp-wcLYgslslqHkpOD3QfPtnou0x3Vh-IGx_A/s3264/IMG_3244.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2176" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdA8lO33Q-SqytZ17_ED2fPQjSw0vB0nF9sbOC6o6DpLd6JV6z4yOs_HdGS3kw4Jk-OAX534ernM9q93zs7rtrP4FnOIRVgiK62EQ4Z3TbwjG8WJn1li0waLFYzGNvQ6MqqfaEeCQa5UIj6LcWBhSkoSyp-wcLYgslslqHkpOD3QfPtnou0x3Vh-IGx_A/w426-h640/IMG_3244.png" width="426" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780622" target="_blank">West Barn Co.

It's one of the best brow pencils I've tried. </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>I love that this one is waterproof which makes it ideal for use with the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793764" target="_blank">West Barn Co.

It doesn't smudge or get muddy which can sometimes happen if a brow pencil is too soft.</span><span> Two of my other favourites are the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793773" target="_blank">Urban Decay Brow Beater</a> (€21) and the <a href="https://rstyle.me/+ne49HMAfhs2DJV8bHGefag" target="_blank">Refy Brow Pencil</a> (€18). The UD one is also waterproof, the Refy one doesn't appear to be but it has ingredients to help condition the brows as does the UD and this one. The UD one has 7 shades, the West Barn Co. has 5 and the Refy only has three. I have shade I like for all three and they're all quite interchangeable to me. I'd happily buy any of them again and to be honest it just comes down to price and availability. I highly rate the West Barn Co. brow products in general and I think in terms of value for money you can't beat the Soap Brows tin. I'm using a NYX pencil at the moment but I'd say once that's used up I'll go for one of the above again. <a href="https://www.westbarnco.com/en-ie" target="_blank">West Barn Co.</a> currently has a sale on their website with 30% off.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://www.westbarnco.com/en-ie/products/the-brow-pen" target="_blank">West Barn Co.

Since finishing this and using a new Brow Flick I will definitely be repurchasing this instead. It's easier to control, the shade is better and it lasts longer before drying out. It's also less expensive. Adios Brow Flick, you've been replaced.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780636" target="_blank">DUO Quick-Set Striplash Adhesive</a></i> 5g, 12m, Made in South Korea €7.99</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This is a lash glue that comes in a tube with a plastic applicator. I find it easy to use and it's great for applying rhinestones that don't have self-adhesive. I'd probably prefer if the applicator was thinner at the end rather than flat as it would make it easier to apply a tiny dot for rhinestones but I'm sure most people use it for false lashes and for that purpose it works perfectly. It's also easy to remove and doesn't irritate my skin. I'm using a different one at the moment that I was sent as a press sample but I would definitely buy this again. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780645" target="_blank">Isamaya Beauty Browlacq Brow Laminator</a></i> 4g, 6m, Made in Italy €36 </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This has been empty since just after my last empties post. It's hard to say how long it lasted because I started using it at the end of July/ beginning of August last year so I was using it over the course of about 8 months as well as a few other brow products. It's described as a soap-like formula, it's clear like the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793784" target="_blank">Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze</a> which I haven't tried but they look and sound similar. It's supposed to give a laminated look to your brows and that's exactly what it does. It comes in a glass jar with a little comb that is slightly curved. I didn't like the comb, I found the curve meant I missed some of my brows when combing through and it was too small for my liking. I only used the tail of the comb to get the product out of the jar and then I used a regular spoolie to brush it through. I also found it awkward to store and it kept going missing because it's so small. I don't like the full laminated look on my brows. I prefer them to look a bit more natural and textured rather than flat against my skin. You can definitely achieve both looks with this product depending on how much you use. I liked it but I didn't prefer it to my soap brows which is less than half the price of this and lasts much longer. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI-Qddq7u7JSqwDeyC9uvs7ay8C1Ptlfz8PsSTUvcKr8GkkNbEqoHZTXx4AeyEkTHvZGka35fw16M6bwEnpxGBu4ZnmO1GZgaJBuiCeomggn39mDDSKR9srfXjLlNuQuB6RrrHyKgDBNyGNo_8B82-L71WQhf_wDkYghWfvCMsD6K06JQ9LtNQTvrQWUw/s3264/IMG_3242.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="3264" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI-Qddq7u7JSqwDeyC9uvs7ay8C1Ptlfz8PsSTUvcKr8GkkNbEqoHZTXx4AeyEkTHvZGka35fw16M6bwEnpxGBu4ZnmO1GZgaJBuiCeomggn39mDDSKR9srfXjLlNuQuB6RrrHyKgDBNyGNo_8B82-L71WQhf_wDkYghWfvCMsD6K06JQ9LtNQTvrQWUw/w640-h640/IMG_3242.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780681" target="_blank">bareMinerals Maximist Mascara</a></i> 9ml €23</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I really didn't get on well with this mascara. It's a fibre mascara but I found it made my lashes look thin and then clumpy at the ends. I tried to build it up but I couldn't get the volume so my lashes looked strange. I wasn't a fan of the wand either and I found it wasn't the easiest to use. Their <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793789" target="_blank">Strength & Length mascara</a> is much better. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://www.cultbeauty.com/pat-mcgrath-labs-dark-star-mascara-xtreme-black-13ml/13951330.html?affil=thggpsad&switchcurrency=EUR&shippingcountry=IE&gclid=CjwKCAjwzJmlBhBBEiwAEJyLu8MmKthw83RZD9p9uYb5fP5Yd5en_HBluQJG1PPuY1PqDu4Y2PzPehoCn40QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds" target="_blank">Pat McGrath Dark Star Mascara</a></i> 13ml, 6m, Made in Italy €32</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I had this a few years ago and I absolutely love it. In fact, I think I remember saying it was one of the best mascaras I've ever used. Maybe this was a dud tube or perhaps it had dried out a bit somehow because it just wasn't as good as I remembered this time. I was so excited to have it back in my life, I bought it on sale so it was around €24, not extortionate but still a treat for me. I think I may have to accept the fact that Pat McGrath makeup is not for me. I loved this so much the first time I had it and when I look back at photos of me wearing it, my eyelashes look amazing but I won't be risking it again.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780698" target="_blank">IT Cosmetics Hello Lashes +</a></i> 8.5ml, 6m, Made in USA €31</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This is another mascara I didn't like on my lashes. It was quite similar to the bareMinerals one in that I found it didn't provide enough volume and if I tried to build it up it became a bit wispy but with clumpy ends. The wand wasn't my favourite, it was a bit awkward to use as it has a spiky ball at the end which meant I couldn't get right into the inner corner. I absolutely love their <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793842" target="_blank">Superhero mascara</a> and I'd buy that one instead. It could be the ideal mascara for someone else because we all like different things but it just wasn't what I was looking for in a mascara. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">**<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780708" target="_blank">Illamasqua Infinite Masquara</a></i> (Raven) 6.5ml, 6m, Made in Italy €13 (Full size 10ml €24)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Ilamasqua is a brand I haven't tried much at all, in fact, think the only other product of theirs that I've tried was a nail polish about ten years ago. I got this travel-size mascara in a goody bag that I won in a competition. I would say that this and the Lancôme Hynôse were my two favourites out of the 6 I've tried recently. It has a tapered bristle brush that gave me length and definition with enough volume, although I would have liked a bit more. It didn't flake as much as other mascaras listed here and that's another very important factor for me. It didn't blow me away but it wasn't as disappointing as some of the others and I think it's priced more in line with what I'd be willing to spend on a mascara. While I probably preferred the Lancôme one overall, I'd be more inclined to buy this one purely because of the price as they are quite similar products. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://www.lookfantastic.ie/benefit-they-re-real-magnet-extreme-lengthening-and-powerful-lifting-mascara-mini-supercharged-black-4.5g/12779184.html?switchcurrency=EUR&shippingcountry=IE&affil=awin&utm_content=Kiesproduct+%22Google+Shopping+traffic%22&utm_term=Comparison+Shopping+Service+%28CSS%29&utm_source=AWin_323889&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=AffiliateWin&sv1=affiliate&sv_campaign_id=323889&awc=2082_1688682045_2b6d7d84352a3505936259215d03c522&btn_ref=srctok-f6fd7adcbb32dd2c" target="_blank">Benefit They're Real Magnet Mascara</a></i> 4.5g 6m, Made in France €16 (Full size 8.5g €30)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This was a small sample size that I received in a goody bag at an awards ceremony last year. It's been a long time since I've tried a Benefit mascara and I can't remember loving any of their other ones. I found this awkward to apply because the brush is quite big but as it's a sample size the handle of the wand was short and I couldn't hold it properly and kept getting it all over my eyelids. I actually loved this at first, it gave me length, volume and curl and it almost looked like I had more lashes than I have which I suppose is where the "Magnet" in the name comes in. It seemed to coat every single tiny lash. However, after a few uses it seemed to dry out and become flaky and clumpy looking. I don't know whether that's because it was a smaller size mascara tube. You can buy this smaller size and it's €16 which is what I'd probably spend on a full-size mascara if even. The full size is €30 and I don't plan on buying it to find out if the issue was the small size. So while I liked how this made my eyelashes look, the formula didn't last and the wand was a bit awkward for me. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1780746" target="_blank">Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara</a></i> 2ml, 6m, Made in France €11 (Full size 6.2ml €35)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Out of the 6 mascaras I tried recently, this was my favourite. I prefer Monsieur Big and Lash Idôle but this one was still better than the other 4 I tried. It gives great length and a nice amount of volume and it doesn't get clumpy when you build it up. I won't be buying the full size but I'd definitely buy one of the other two Lancôme mascaras I love, they make great mascaras and I don't think you'd be disappointed with any of their offerings. I like to buy the gift sets after Christmas because you can usually get them with about 20-30% off which is a bit more my kind of price for a high-end mascara. I can't see myself buying any of these 6 mascaras again as there are others I like better and are more in line with my budget. I don't like to spend too much on mascaras as they only really last 3/4 months before drying out and I'd rather spend more elsewhere in my makeup routine. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The totals are as follows:</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">17 PR Products: €640.49</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">25 Products bought by me €609.55</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">6 Gifts: €90.05</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">6 Travel/Sample Size </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">10 Repurchases</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The total is 48 products: €1340.09</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I finished these products over the three-month period since my last post at the beginning of April. I've been using some of them for two years or more. It's the same amount of products as the last time so I've finished almost 100 products in 6 months. As I always mention, the amount of money I spent on those 24 products is much lower as I rarely buy anything full price. I probably didn't spend any more than €400 on the products I bought and I would imagine it was less as some products were part of sets (like the JVN hair product)s and then discounted even further. The Amika mask for example, was part of the <a href="http://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2022/05/cosmetips-x-katie-jane-hughes-beauty.html" target="_blank">Cosmetips X KJH</a> bag which was £549 worth of products for £115. After my indulgences earlier this year during what was supposed to be a no-buy, I've actually bought very little recently. It's mostly been stocking up on skincare using discount codes and I actually just repurchased the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1793851" target="_blank">Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb</a> in Fu$$y as I was missing having it in my collection. I'm saving my budget for the Lisa Eldridge launch in July and if I'm lucky enough to receive it as a press sample I'll redistribute that budget to buy something else for review.

I know it will only be helpful to people with skin tones very similar to mine but I wanted to post it anyway. One of the things I do when I'm researching a potential base product is look for images of swatch comparisons. Over the past few years in particular I've gotten quite adept at shade matching myself online. I find the swatches on brand websites can often be unreliable so I try to find swatches from online reviews. Particularly those that compare different brands as that's the best way for me to see if a shade might match me. Keep in mind that these are more saturated swatches than the amount of foundation you would apply to your face and they are dried down for the most part. It's not so much about the depth of the shades compared to the skin on my arm as it is about the tones and undertones compared to one another. Hopefully, this is helpful if you're looking for your shade match in the Kosas concealer for example and you know your shade in the Lisa Eldridge foundation, you can easily see if they are comparable. I know everyone wants different things from their foundation or concealer whether it's having the perfect match, one shade deeper, a concealer that perfectly matches their foundation or one that's a tiny bit brighter for under the eyes. As you can see the range of shades is quite wide as are the undertones. All of these shades work for me, some better than others. It completely depends on the coverage level too as a sheer skin tint is more forgiving if it's not an exact shade match because there's less pigment. There are a wide variety of brands here, drugstore, mid-range, high end and luxury. If you would like to see a full, in-depth review of any of these products with before and after photos, application techniques etc. please do let me know. I have dedicated reviews of the <a href="http://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2017/06/your-skin-but-better-it-cosmetics-cc.html" target="_blank">IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream</a> and <a href="http://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2022/04/lisa-eldridge-foundation-review.html" target="_blank">Lisa Eldridge The Foundation</a>. I've featured many of these products multiple times on this blog and on <a href="https://instagram.com/olgreeneyesemma?igshid=ZDdkNTZiNTM=">Instagram</a> so if you want to see more you can use the search bar to find specific posts. I've posted two different swatch photos so you can see the differences in lighting. I have fair neutral skin and I like to match my neck more than my face because I have a mixture of undertones on my face as well as pigmentation and freckles which is why I can get away with such a variety of shades. If you have a similar skin tone to mine, you might find this helpful in some way. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If you have read any of my previous three empties posts you'll know what to expect here but just in case this is your first one I'll quickly explain why I like to write these posts. This is a much easier way for me to review products that I have been sent as PR samples or that I have bought myself. I try to include short reviews of beauty products in my <a href="https://instagram.com/olgreeneyesemma?igshid=ZDdkNTZiNTM=">Instagram</a> posts but I don't get to write in-depth reviews or talk about skincare much. I like to wait until I have finished a product before I give a full review especially when it comes to skincare. I always find that finishing a product allows you to gather your thoughts more clearly and decide if the product was worth your money, or in the case of a PR sample, worth buying yourself. I think this is the first time that the PR products have outweighed the ones that I have bought myself. This is down to the fact that I've been consciously trying to use what I already have instead of buying new skincare myself. Of course, I love trying out the products that I'm interested in too but my circumstances have changed since my last empties post. I decided to leave my job to care for my daughter as it made the most sense for us both logistically and financially. Therefore going forward I'm probably going to be featuring more PR products than usual as I won't be buying as much myself. I also tend to get more expensive products sent to me than I would buy myself. For example, there's a cleanser in this post that costs €90, an amount I would never spend on a single skincare product, especially one that you wash off your face. You will, as always, still be getting completely honest reviews of products. I've been writing about beauty products online for almost 13 years and my integrity is everything so I will always give an honest review. Most people I know are trying to cut costs where possible and beauty products aren't a necessity but I know a lot of people still want to know about the latest products or if they should buy something else instead of what they're currently using. 14 of these products are repurchases and some I have already reviewed in previous empties posts. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I always have a round-up at the end breaking down the costs of everything, PR products, those I've bought myself and gifts/gifts with purchase. I've chatted about why before but basically I like to be transparent about the products I've been sent and what they cost and what I actually use. As a consumer of content on social media, I find it frustrating to see people posting press drops with no follow-up content surrounding the products. I want to hear people's thoughts and reviews and that's why I started doing these posts. I said this would be brief so let's get into it.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've had a few of these now and I actually have a backup that I bought during a Glossier sale last year. I still love this and I haven't found anything that's quite the same. The texture is exactly what you'd think from the Oil Serum description. It has a slight iridescence to it too which makes me see it more as a makeup prep product than a skincare product. They recommend using two pumps in the instructions on the packaging but for my combination skin I use one pump. If you have dry skin you may like more and if you have oily skin you may want to avoid this. I will generally use this on days when my skin is more on the dry side and usually only in certain areas of my face, depending on the time of year and the condition of my skin. I'm using different hydrating priming products at the moment but I can imagine I'll continue to buy this when I've used up the unopened one I have.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+cQye1uB7nZR6PpJbqtIVOA">Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector</a></i> (Light/ Medium) 4.5g, 18 Months, Made in USA €29.50</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I don't think I should write much about this as it's not available here in Europe anymore. Becca as a brand is no more and Smashbox who is now producing this particular product, has pulled out of Europe. As much as I love this I wouldn't go to the trouble of having it shipped with a third party from the US. I actually bought a backup of this when I found out Smashbox was leaving Europe so I'm using a fresh jar but it lasts for ages so I doubt I'll need anything for a while. I actually bought the <a href="https://rstyle.me/+MpglgwCsQAPp39EIYyDfzw">Fenty Corrector Stick</a> in Rose Quartz as I'd heard that was great for blue/purple under eyes. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+9KYolm_qvzL69Ai6KtqRgA">about-face Light Lock Highlight Fluid</a></i> (Fight or Flight) 15ml, 12 Months, Made in Italy €18</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I bought this when about-face launched two years ago. I wasn't sure if I would like it at first as it's quite a molten metallic, high shine and high pigment liquid highlighter. However I really loved this product, so much so that I used it all up. Granted, it's just 15mls of product but you only need a tiny amount as it's </span><span style="font-size: large;">so saturated. The shade I bought is the palest shade and it's quite an icy pale pink so my preferred way to wear it was mixed with a cool pink or berry liquid blush like <a href="https://rstyle.me/+eEmDeI5j6OBslGGJJiKn-A">Glossier Cloud Paint</a> in Haze and Storm. It gives the ultimate "Cold Girl" cheeks for lighter skin tones. I would say the only thing to be careful about it that you might want to blend it in quite quickly or it does set and deposit more of the metallic pearl on the skin. I finished this a while ago but I did a big clear out of all of my makeup in January and decided to finally let it go. It's defintely a product I would buy again but I have quite a few highlighters at the moment so I'll wait a while. They also have a powder and a cream stick version of these highlighters if you prefer those textures.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+X0FsLkzpiU7ROukHprmlDw">Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray</a></i> 118 ml, 6 Months, Made in Canada €32</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I have both purchased this multiple times and been sent it in PR drops over the years. It's a cult favourite beauty product for a reason, it actually works. You definitely don't need to wear this every day but it's great for those days when you need your makeup to look fresh all day or for an event when you're wearing more makeup than usual. I alternate between this and the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1341744">IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Setting Spray</a> as I find them quite similar. There are several versions of All Nighter now for different skin types as you can see below from the next product I finished. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+hcQZ8nMIYFHGg-2xdc_L8Q">Urban Decay All Nighter Vitamin C Setting Spray</a></i> 118ml, 6 Months, Made in Canada €32</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I think this version of All Nighter launched last year, as far as I know there are now 4 versions, the original, this new Vitamin C one which is supposed to brighten your skin and give extra hydration. There is also an Ultra Glow and Ultra Matte if you have dry or oily skin. I know Vitamin C was one of those trending ingredients last year and brands seemed to be adding it to everything. I usually prefer my skincare to be skincare and makeup to be makeup so I probably wouldn't repurhcase this one but I'd like to try the Ultra Glow to see how it compares to the original. If you're looking for a setting spray you can't really go wrong with All Nighter. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They're easy to remove and they tend to not flake or smudge as much as regular mascaras. I haven't used that many so I took to my Instagram stories to see if I could crowd source some options for her. One of the ones mentioned was this one from Essence. It's such an inexpensive brand that she decided to buy one for each of us (they were actually on sale too so I think she got both for less than the cost of one full price). I decided to test it out on my lower lashes because that tends to be the issue for me. I like wearing mascara on my lower lashes but I always have to compromise with some flaking or smudging. I was pleasantly surprised by this mascara. For the price I wasn't expecting much, I don't think you have to spend a fortune to get a great mascara, some of my favourites are "drugstore" price mascaras. However I have generally found tubing mascaras aren't as impactful as regular mascaras. I found the length and definition great with this one, it wasn't as volumising but I wasn't expecting it to be. I actually loved it on my lower lashes because I don't like them having too much volume. If you like a tubing mascara or if you're not too bothered about volume and you want an inexpensive mascara I don't think you can go too far wrong with this. I actually have a fresh one ready to go too.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+yIHoq43B7HrlSlPSLjWJwg">Glossier Brow Flick</a></i> (Brown) 0.48ml, 6 Months, Made in France €18</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I was first sent this as a PR sample when it launched and I've bought it numerous times since. It's the brow product I use when I just want to softly add colour to the areas of my brows that are a bit sparse. I bought the West Barn Co brow pen last year and I've been using that for a while but I do have a fresh Brow Flick to use. I haven't tried that many brow pens but I don't need to because I love this one and I don't really want to waste my money experimenting too much with other brands when I really love this one. The <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1299978">West Barn Co</a>. one is very similar, maybe a bit more pigmented. I like both products equally and would buy either, I just happened to buy a spare Brow Flick during one of the Glossier sales. I will probably buy Brow Flick of The Brow Pen in the furute depending on which one is cheaper or easier to order. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+Y-F19VUQvUUyeZokuXjlug">Glossier Boy Brow</a></i> (Brown) 3.12g, 6 Months, Made in USA €16</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I bought this 6 years ago when I was in New York and I've since been sent it in press drops and have repurchased myself countless times. I have tried other simlilar products from <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1341761">Anastasia</a> and <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1341767">Urban Decay</a> and from the drugstore but I keep coming back to Boy Brow because I don't need to think about it. It's the product I use when I'm in a hurry to get ready and I just want to groom my eyebrows and add a touch of colour quickly. I'd be confident using this without a mirror and I'll continue to buy it until I find something that works better for me. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1273287">Hindash Heroline Liquid Eyeliner</a></i> 0.4g, 6 Months, Made in Italy €23</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is one of, if not my top product from this empties post. I bought this when it launched in the Summer of 2021 if I'm not mistaken. Most liquid liners tend to dry out after about 6 months if not before that but I was using this for over a year before it started to dry out. I may not have been using it as often as some poeple would but I used it a lot. In fact it was the only liquid eyeliner I used for that year. Previous to trying this, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1341776">Glossier Pro Tip</a> was my favourite liquid eyeliner and it's still a great one but Hindash has really succeeded in creating both a formula and packaging that surpasses any other liquid eyeliner I've ever tried. The brush is almost like an ultra thin calligraphy pen which means you can achieve the thinnest lines and the formula allows you to easily build it up without it getting thick and flaking or cracking. I am currently using a liner I was sent and one I bought from <a href="https://rstyle.me/+YfnuYnejk0j5bJZU_4WDCw">Half Magic</a> because I was curious to try it but honestly I can't wait until they're used up so I can buy this again. I can't justify it at the moment because I have two open and they don't last too long before drying up so I want to use what I have before buying a new one. I rarely say this, but if you are someone who wears liquid eyeliner regularly and you like a brush tip over a felt tip, you need to try this one!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+7dAG-UeUQV2XSmN9kjyZGA">Lancôme Monsieur Big Mascara</a></i> 2ml, 6 Months, Made in France (GWP) Worth €5</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I got this in a press drop that had a Lancôme gift with purchase in it. It's a teeny tiny size but it lasted me for about a month and it reminded me how much I love Monsieur Big mascara. It's definitely one of my all time favourites. I have no plans to buy the full size any time soon. If I am going to treat myself to a high end mascara I usually do it after Christmas when the gift sets are on sale. I have lots of mascaras in reserve at the moment so it's one product I don't need to buy but I know I will buy this in the future at some stage as it really is a great all round mascara. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://www.boots.ie/urban-decay-inked-brow-10278373">Urban Decay Inked Brow</a></i> (Dark Drapes) 1.8ml, 6 Months, Made in USA €25</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This was definitely not the product for me. It was too much liquid, too dark and too difficult to use. It's the opposite of Glossier Brow Flick. I acutally ended up using it to add my freckles back on top of foundation. I used it on a small brush and then patted it so it looked more natural. It might be the ideal brow product for some people but it just didn't work out for me. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I absolutely love this and I had forgotten how great it is at removing waterproof or long-wearing eye makeup. I tried to only use it when I needed to because this is the kind of product you can go through really fast and that's the reason I wouldn't buy this myself. As great as it is, it's €32 for a product I will use up so quickly and it isn't a necessity unless you're someone who has to wear waterproof mascara or maybe if you have sensitive eyes and you don't want to rub them too much when removing your makeup. I'd prefer to buy a cleansing balm that has the ability to remove waterproof makeup so that I don't have to buy two separate products. Another case of a great product that I just can't justify spending my money on even thought I love it. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+Dn9V5LyXLeqJuh82sRRf6g">Garnier Express 2-in-1 Eye Make-Up Remover</a></i> 125ml, 6 Months, Made in Poland €4.99</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is what I'd recommend instead of the above product. I always buy this when it's on special offer so I end up getting two for the price of one. It doesn't remove waterproof makeup as quickly as the Lancôme one but it does the job and it's a much more palatable price. I've bought this time and time again and I'll continue to do so for the foreseeable future. I only wish it came in a bigger bottle. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+QWXQsrcP3rPqbir8D_NIwg">Lancôme Absolue Purifying Brightening Gel Cleanser</a></i> 125ml, 12 Months, Made in France €90</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I've already reviewed this in previous empties post so I'll try to not repeat myself. I enjoyed using it, the texture is beautiful and it does what it claims to do. It does have a strong scent but I didn't mind it. The reason I don't want to write much about it is because of the price. There's no world in which I'd justify spending €90 on a cleanser. It's gone up in price from €84 since I last looked up the price in December. I just think no matter how good it is, there's no way I'd ever spend that money on a cleanser, literally something you wash off your face. I could maybe justify it for a treatment or serum but not a cleanser. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://www.boots.ie/cerave-hydrating-cream-to-foam-cleanser-236ml-10286665?cm_mmc=ROI_PPC-_-CeraVe-_-Campaign-_-Generic&utm_source=roi_ppc&utm_medium=cerave&utm_campaign=campaign&gclid=Cj0KCQjwiZqhBhCJARIsACHHEH_56LU8sqVDYpCwQpTdJYOP2bkfwK1EXFk53wl7hmHMTcgZOoxSWpYaAkIZEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds">CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser</a></i> 236ml, 12 Months, Made in France €15</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I went to a skincare event before Christmas with a few brands including CeraVe and I was recommended to try this cleanser as I have combination skin. I had totally forgotten until halfway through the bottle that I actually already tried it when it launched two years ago. I suppose that should tell me something but I try so many different brands and products it's understandable that I won't remember every single one, especially something as innocuous as a CeraVe cleanser. I mean that in the best possible way. It's a product that does the job you want it to, it won't remove my makeup but it's a gentle cleanser for the morning or after you've removed makeup. After I remembered that I had already tried it I also remembered why I had never repurchased it. It had a strange scent which I've heard other people mention too. It's almost like a musty smell which I found offputting. This bottle definitely didn't have that strong scent, it had a slight scent but not the same as it had been before. I'd buy this again purely because it's such an easy product to use, my partner also used it so we went through it quite fast but you can ususally get it at a discounted price which makes it more affordable. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+U11EPwvEuP4oD4yjNEaCEA">IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Makeup 3-in-1 Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm</a></i> x2 100ml, 18 Months, Made in USA €39</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I was sent a press drop of this cleanser when it launched last year. I usually like IT Cosmetics products and a cleansing balm is my preferred way of cleansing so I had high expectations of this. Thankfully it surpassed my expectations and I even ended up buying one myself before I had even finished the first one (and I just recently repurchased it too). I'm using a different cleanser at the moment that I already had in my stash and while I like it, it's just not as effective as this one. It's the only cleansing balm that's come close to my beloved <a href="https://rstyle.me/+0SMsdPYu80rgX5DtARFEHw">Then I Met You</a> one. Both times I've bought it myself has been with a discount as it is quite expensive. I think it ended up being €30 or less both times I've repurchased and that's probably the top end of what I'd pay for a cleansing balm. The Then I Met You one is more expensive which is the only reason I haven't bought that it a while. It's supposed to be a 3-in-1 product, a makeup remover balm, brightening cleanser (although to me those are the same thing) and a hydrating face mask. I just use it as a first cleanser to remove makeup but it does the job so well I don't really need to use a second cleanser, sometimes I'll use a tiny amount of this just to make sure everything is clean. As I mentioned already, brands seem to be adding vitamin C to everything, I don't think this product needs it as a cleanser isn't my preferred way to use vitamin c but it doesn't bother me. Just to note that it does have a rose fragrance as I know it can be a polarising scent. It's more of a fresh rose than a perfumed rose and I love it but it's something to keep in mind. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+bUKVN8c3Kh6w1rCFZmlJ8Q">REN Daily AHA Tonic</a></i> 250ml, 9 Months, Made in the UK €34</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I've been using this product for years as I've always found it to be a gentle way to exfoliate my skin. This is an AHA and BHA chemical exfoliant that contains lactic acid, willow bark extract and azelaic acid. It's supposed to exfoliate, brighten, tighten and hydrate leaving smoother skin and minimising the appearance of pores. I find it does what it claims to do and that's why I've continued to buy it for years. It also lasts for ages as I tend to only use it 2-3 times per week, althought you can use it every day if your skin needs it. This is a product that I will continue to repurchase unless I find something that works better for my skin. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://www.boots.ie/ole-henriksen-transform-plus-phat-glow-facial-50ml-10270064?cm_mmc=ROI_PPC-_-Shopping-_-Shopping_GA-_-Ole_Henriksen&utm_source=roi_ppc&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=shopping_ga&utm_term=Ole_Henriksen&gclid=Cj0KCQjwiZqhBhCJARIsACHHEH9yoifXNYzGJ3PyCQPFtm7DSMKNhQ7cwcN6mOQpXmmWzXfK-ukFgjEaAi7VEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds">Ole Henriksen PHAT Glow Facial</a></i> 50ml, 12 Months, Made in USA €48</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is one of those products that I was interested to try because of the hype. I bought a couple of these when they were in the Boots €12 Tuesday offer as it was such a great deal I thought it would be a good way to try it without spending too much money. I gave one to my sister and I didn't open mine until about a year ago because I was using other products. I have to remind myself to use my face masks because it's something I tend to forget as I'm not using them daily. As the name suggests, this product contains PHA (poly hydroxy acids) which are more gentle exfoliants than AHAs, they also don't make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Products with PHA are worth considering if you have sensitive skin or if you deal with rosacea. It also contains pink bentonite clay which I find to be an ingredient that works well for my skin. I found this mask very gentle and it left my skin looking more smooth, bright and it didn't feel tight afterwards. I wouldn't repurchase this full price purely because it is quite expensive but I may buy it again if I got another great deal on it. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1273333">Yonka Gommage Gentle Botanical Polish</a></i> 50ml, 6 Months, Made in France €39</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is the first Yonka product I've ever tried. I attended an event with the brand last year and was sent home with a bag of products to try out. When we tried it at the event I was struck by the strong scent which to me, smelled very botanical and almost like the Dettol Liquid Anti-Septic. That probably sounds like a negative and at first it was quite an overpowering scent but after I got used to it, I loved it. If you're sensitive to scents in your skincare you may want to try this out first if possible because it's so frustrating to buy a product and hate the scent as it makes you not want to use it. I enjoyed using this mask, it left my skin looking brighter and feeling smoother. It's quite a gentle exfoliant which is going to really suit some people but others may prefer somthing stronger. When I mentioned Yonka on Instagram I had so many messages from people raving about the brand and this product in particular. It seems to be a real hero product for the brand. While I did enjoy it and saw results I can't see myself buying it myself because it is expensive and I have other masks that I prefer for my skin type. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+Hc-YJX7dGrwgaBbaTFll4A">Glossier Moisturizing Moon Mask</a></i> 90ml, 24 Months, Made in USA €23</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I think this was my third tub of this mask. I was first given it as a PR sample when Glossier launched in Ireland 5 years ago and I've purchased it at least twice since then. If you're looking for a hydrating mask but you don't want to spend too much, I defintely recommmend this. I've used it alternating with the <a href="https://rstyle.me/+NDoIQTuAnNVCqJsP6Aev7Q">Farmacy Honey Potion</a> which I tend to use during the Winter months. Mook Mask is more lightweight so I prefer it for the warmer months of the year. It's a great one to use before I apply makeup if my skin is looking or feeling a bit dry as it gives a quick boost of hydration and therefore gives me a better canvas for makeup. Once again, this is the kind of product I tend to buy when Glossier have a discount code and I'm stocking up Brow Flick, Futuredew etc. I'd prefer to buy a tub of this than use disposable sheet masks. </span><span style="font-size: medium;">It's not a necessity but if you like face masks and you want to treat yourself, I love this product.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For me, a face mist is mostly a sensorial experience, it's not necessarily a must-have for a skincare routine. I found the scent to be quite synthetic and sweet and while it worked for making my skin damp before applying serums, I didn't enjoy the experience of using it. I was looking forward to finishing it so that I could use a different mist. It's not a bad product by any means and you may love this scent, it just wasn't for me.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+0xN2Qnif0gABi7kYW6IKGQ">bareMinerals Skinlongevity Long Life Herb Serum</a></i> 30ml, 12 Months, Made in USA €47</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I think I've had one of these in every empties post I've written so far. Thankfully the bareMinerals PR team had been keeping me stocked up but I've now run out and I know I love this product because I really miss it. I would have bought one myself but I have a few hydrating serums in my skincare stash that I have been sent so I'm trying those out first but nothing has compared to this so far. The in</span><span style="font-size: medium;">gredients just seem to work so well for my skin. I haven't had to yet, but I'd gladly buy this myself because I find it makes a difference to my skin. It's also great to mix with longwear foundations to make them a bit more sheer or hydrating. I use it on my lips before lip balm at night too. You can usually get a deal on this where the 50ml size is the same price as the 30ml size so definitely keep an eye out if you like the sound of it. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+f5XGijrLu7eFGK-7mfHxUQ">Lancôme Absolue Revitalizing Eye Cream</a></i> x2 5ml, 6 Months, Made in France (GWP) Worth €65</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This was another one of those products that came with a gift with purchase press drop. The full size of this eye cream is €130 for 20ml and these mini pots are 5ml. I used two of them and it's a beautiful eye cream particularly before makeup as it gives my eye area a perfect base for concealer. However, much like the Absolue cleanser, even though I loved the results I just couldn't justify the price. I could get a whole skincare routine for that price and I didn't find it any more effective than the Kiehls or IT Cosmetics eye creams I've used recently. I think it's only something you'd buy if you tried the small pot as part of a gift with purchase and you absolutely loved it and of course, if you have the budget for it. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+XQqWxC2KwsrDu47fwl8rYg">Laura Mercier The Perfect Cream Multi-Tasking Moisturizer</a></i> 50g, 12 Months, Made in USA €70</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This was a great moisturiser for prepping my skin for makeup, especially during the winter months.

I have combination skin and I don't do well in hot weather so having a lightweight moisturiser is a necessity especially when you're layering it with sun protection and other products. It's a gel texture which I don't usually like in a moisturiser because I find they're not hydrating enough but this one is perfect. It's 75ml so it lasts for ages too, I think this one lasted me for 6 months. You can buy a 15ml version for around €12 too if you wanted to try it out first before buying the full size.

Sunscreen can be very hit or miss for most people but I really loved using this especially under makeup. It's quite lightweight and blends in easily and I had no issues with my makeup on top of it which is huge win for me. It does have a light sweet scent which wasn't my favourite but it didn't bother me either. I'd gladly buy this again for wearing with makeup as it's rare to find a product like this at such a good price point. I'm planning on writing a blog post about sunscreens that work well under makeup as I know this is something people struggle with quite a lot. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1273339">La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Barrier Repairing Lip Balm</a></i> 7.5ml, 18 Months, Made in France €8.50</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">My lips were particularly parched this Winter and I needed something to wear at night to really lock in the moisture. I'm in two minds about this product, especially because I'm now using a lip balm that's sucking the life out of my lips. This product did a great job at keeping my lips hydrated and it's ideal to use at night as it's a thicker texture. The packaging was the only issue for me and I'm not sure if was just this particular tube as I've never used it before. I usually love this kind of tube packaging for lip balm as it's more hygienic than a pot but it was a struggle to squeeze the product out of the tube. I don't know whether it's because of the texture of the formula or there was some kind of air bubble in the tube but it did annoy me. It's a great product and price so I'd give it another try just to see if the one I had was a once off issue. If you've had a simiar issue, or tried this particular lip balm please do let me know. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1273340">bareMinerals Ageless Phyto-Retinol Lip Mask</a></i> 13g, 12 Months, Made in USA €26</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is quite simlar to the above lip balm in texture and results but just in a pot instead of a tube.

She very kindly gave me some Rituals products and they happened to be my favourite Rituals scent, Sakura. I've bought this myself many times, as well as numerous other products in both this range and others from Rituals. I absolutely adore this scent, it's a fresh, powdery and comforting floral and it makes me look forward to having a shower which is usually such a tedious but I suppose necessary task. She also bought me the shower oil which is a great product for using when your skin is dry but you don't have the time or inclination to moisturise your body. I have no doubts I'll be buying Rituals products in the future as I have been for years. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://www.earthmother.ie/the-handmade-soap-company-shower-gel-lemongrass-and-cedarwood1.html">The Handmade Soap Company Shower Gel Lemongrass & Cedarwood</a></i> 300ml, 18 Months, Made in Ireland €14</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I was sent this from the Irish business Earthmother as part of a the Christmas campaign I did with Meta last year. I filmed an unboxing of gifts from Irish businesses including a hamper from Earthmother which included some products from The Handmade Soap Company. I gave some of them away but I kept this shower gel as I love the scent and I've used it before and loved it. I also love their candles, they have one in this scent and it's so invigorating. I'd gladly buy this again as it's such a beautiful product and it's always nice to support an Irish business where possible. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>**<a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1273342">Kevin Murphy Angel Wash Shampoo</a></i> 250ml, 12 Months, Made in Spain €27.50</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">My sister gave me this shampoo as it didn't work for her hair type. There was probably about two thirds of the bottle left when she gave it to me. I used it up a while ago and then reused the bottle to pour in the refill of the Kiehl's Amino Acid Shampoo than I mentioned in my last empties post. I really liked this, it worked very well for my hair which is fine, naturally curly untreated and uncoloured. I have no plans to buy this purely because of the price. My hair is very long at the moment as I haven't had it cut in almost two years so I go through quite a lot of shampoo and conditioner and therefore it doesn't make sense for me to buy expensive ones. Once it cleans my hair and smells nice I don't really mind what shampoo I use. I don't like spending a lot on wash off products like cleansers and shampoo and conditioner so I won't be purchasing this even though I really enjoyed using it. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+rYMOPHLhXgtn2SrmHhDbTg">Kiehl's Amino Acid Conditioner</a></i> 500ml, 12 Months, Made in USA €37</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Similar to the Kevin Murphy shampoo, I found this worked very well for my hair. My hair is quite dry but some conditioners can weigh it down and this one doesn't at all. It feels very light but still hydrating. Once again, even though I loved using this I wouldn't buy it because it's quite expensive although much better value than the Kevin Murphy products. Kiehls often do 20% off and it would definitely be worth buying then. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+TwJOLNu90W-6_1TuPoUuEw">Living Proof Curl Enhancer For Waves Conditioning Styler</a></i> 100ml, 12 Months, Made in USA €19</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I bought a set with this and the shampoo and conditioner in it when the range first lanched. I'm always interested to try products for curly hair and I really liked the shampoo and conditioner but the full sizes are expensive so I didn't ever repurchase them. I really like this, it did what I claimed and worked well when I diffused my hair. I would actually buy this again but I'm working my way through other curl creams at the moment. If you have curly or wavy hair I'd definitely check out this range, they also have a set for coily hair.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+ja4p7PSEdKKwp1ENaRHIqA">JVN Complete Pre-Wash Scalp Oil</a></i> 50ml, 12 Months, Made in USA €29.50</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I love this product, in fact I'm already on my second bottle. As the name suggests, you apply it as a treatment before shampooing your hair. I like to apply it around 15-30 minutes before I have a shower and use my <a href="https://rstyle.me/+0-akqf9nRuMkP9oF46BpRw">Tangle Teezer scalp brush</a> to really massage it into my scalp and then let it sit in my hair for a while. You just have to make sure you wash it out of your hair well because otherwise you'll have very oily roots and thats not fun. I have found an improvement to my hair since using this. As I've mentioned I haven't had my hair cut in two years and in that time I've had pregnancy hair and post-pregnancy hair loss and I'm now at the stage where I have such long hair but also lots of regrowth. I don't use heat on my hair too often and I don't colour my hair or do any treatments so I really wanted something to help my hair stay healthy. It has rosemary extract which is one of those trending ingredients at the moment because it's supposed to help with hair growth. It also smells incredible! </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>I bought this in a set with a travel size Air Dry Cream and Instant Recovery Serum from </span><a href="https://rstyle.me/+sQkRkGx0aELu5vqMO0V8Kg">Space NK</a><span>. I had a 20% discount code so it worked out at such a great price for the three products. So if you're interested in this product, keep an eye out for discounts for Space NK and I'd definitely recommend getting this set so you get to try out the other two products. I mentioned that I don't like spending money on wash off products but this one genuinely works so I've made an exception. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+KCdDa_v8uUJFsi9il_6suw">JVN Nurture Hydrating Shampoo</a></i> 295ml, 12 Months, Made in USA €21</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+7_Gyps_-sn-AfnjmWIadRQ">JVN Nurture Hydrating Conditioner</a></i><span> 295ml, 12 Months, Made in USA €21</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I'm going to include both of these products together. I bought them in December after trying the other JVN products and loving them. I had a 20% off discount code for Space NK so I thought I'd try them out. I actually couldn't use the conditioner for a while as the pump was broken and wouldn't open so I had to email customer service with a video demonstrating how it wasn't working and then they sent me a new one. When I finished this bottle I kept the pump for the second bottle of conditioner so I get to use another bottle of it. I started using it by shaking the product out but the packaging isn't squeezable so that was quite difficult. It also meant that when I was almost finished it I struggled to get the last of the product out of the bottle. I did love using these products, they made my hair look more hydrated which is always the goal for me to help with frizz. As I've mentioned with other products in this post, I'd prefer to buy leave-in products like the serum below, the Air Dry Cream or Pre-Wash Scalp Oil. I found because my hair is so long, I went through these quite fast and if I was to buy them full price as well as the other hair treatment products I'd end up having a pricey routine. While I'd love to be able to afford to use these all the time I just can't so for that reason I probably won't repurchase. If you have shorter hair or if you like to spend money on your shampoo and conditioner, these are worth trying. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+NVP5KsT89PGNCvm-9n68Ew">JVN Complete Instant Recovery Serum</a></i> 25ml, 12 Months, Made in USA €14</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I wrote about this in my last empties post and I feel the same way after using this travel size. I think this is a great product. I used it before Air Dry Cream and as I mentioned last time, it balances your hair's porosity so that other products can work more effectively and your hair retains it's moisture. It also works as a heat protectant. I'm using other products at the moment but I know I'll repurchase this in the future, I found it definitely helped my hair. All of the JVN products smell incredible too which is always a bonus! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://www.boots.ie/bionsen-dermoprotective-0-aluminium-spray-deodorant-150ml-10088389-">Biosen Deodorant Mineral Protective</a></i> 150ml, Made in Italy €4.49</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">This isn't exactly the sexiest product, but it's a very necessary one. I've been using this brand for years mostly because they are for sensitive skin and I love the scents. I've used a couple of their deodorants and I've loved them. I don't feel anything strong about using aluminium free products, from what I've read it's a safe ingredient but as always it's completely up to you. I don't think I'll stray from this again after the debacle with the product below. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+axOLS9_jJvQU5fRKL_HQ5A">Nécessaire The Deodorant Gel</a></i> (Eucalyptus) x2 50ml, 12 Months, Made in the USA €20</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I had heard very good things about this product and the brand in general and when Space NK had a sale last November I took that opportunity to try this deodorant. For some reason I decided to buy two thinking I would like them and I'd take advantage of the discount. Hopefully my experience with this product will teach me to never do that again with a product I haven't tried before. I started off really liking this, I'm a big fan if eucalyptus so I love the scent. It seemed to be working well but about halfway through the bottle I noticed that the skin in my armpit area was becoming discoloured and any time I used body moisturiser my skin there started to sting so badly that I had to wash it off. I wouldn't consider myself to be a particularly sweaty person and I don't usually notice any kind of body odour, my deodorant has always worked well. But this just didn't work. It was almost as if the more I used it the less it worked. I gave it a chance and finished the first bottle and started the next one but every time I shaved, applied moisturiser or used my usual deodorant my armpits would sting so much and even though my skin there can sometimes be senstive I've never had those issues before. Halfway through the second bottle I put it into the bag of empties and gave up. I had to wait a while before applying my regular deodorant again because after I stopped using this my armpits were still sensitive for a while. I learned a valuable and expensive lesson. I definitely won't be straying from my inexpensive deodorant again. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://www.casmara.ie/product/body-moisturizing-cream/">Casmara Body Moisturizing Cream</a></i> 50ml, Made in Spain €3.50</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I received this in a kit with some other travel size products and I'd never tried this brand before. I thought this was a great body moisturiser and it smelled amazing. I wouldn't buy it again because I think you can get similar for less money. I don't tend to spend a lot on body moisturisers and the full size is €15 which isn't expensive but I have cheaper products I love more like the one below. It's also hard to get your hands on this so that always puts me off unless it's a product I absolutely love. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+T_TS102fUhk1W5NhYLZNkg">Palmer's Cocoa Butter Fragrance-Free</a></i> 400ml, 12 Months, Made in USA €7.99</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I bought this after I got a tattoo in September as it was recommend by the artist for my aftercare. I used to use the oil version of this for years as it was great for my dry skin, particularly on my legs. Once my tattoo was healed I kept using it all over my body as it was such a handy product being 400ml in a pump bottle. I also found it to be very hydrating. It's one I'm going to keep in mind the next time I need a body moisturiser. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://www.rituals.com/en-nl/the-ritual-of-ayurveda-hand-scrub-1116431.html">Rituals The Ritual of Ayurveda Softening Miracle Hand Scrub</a></i> 70ml, 18 Months, Made in The Netherlands €12.90</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I bought this at least a few years ago and I forgot I had it so it's going into my empties now even though I mostly used it up a while ago. I think I'll buy this again because my hands have been so dry for the past year, well for the past 3 years really. They never really recovered from how often I washed thme in work during the first year of c*v*d. It's an oil based scrub so it gets rid of any flaky skin without leaving your hands feeling dry. I used to use it in the evenings once a week and then applied a rich hand balm to lock in moisture. It's not a necessity but I'm going to give it another go to see if it helps my hands. I know I've had at least two of these over the years and I do really like it. </span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://www.boots.ie/flexitol-rapid-relief-hand-balm-56g-10093357">Flexitol Rapid Relief Hand Balm</a></i> 56g, Made in the UK €6.99</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Following on from the previous product, I've bought a few of these too. I use it at night as it's a bit heavier than my usual hand cream. It's another one of those boring but necessary products that actually works. I have just repurchased this again and I'm sure I will continue to do so. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">The totals are as follows:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">20 PR Products: €707.75</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">24 Products bought by me: €488.86</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">3 Gifts/GWP: €42.40</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Repurchases 14</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">The total is €1239.01 for 47 products </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">This is three months worth of empties but I've been using most of these products for a lot longer than that. As I've mentioned in my previous empties posts, I didn't pay full price for most of the items I bought. I usually stock up on products when I have a discount code so I wouldn't have spent any more than €400 on those products and it was probably a lot less than that. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I tried to include links to the products where they were the best price and in stock. </span><span style="font-size: large;">It's strange to add up how much I spend on beauty products and then see how much is sent to me for free. It's made me contemplate my consumption of products much more than I had prevously. I mentioned in my post in December that I was embarking on a three month no-buy. It's now been three months and I definitely did not succeed in not buying anything. I was quite good at restraining myself at first but then the dam burst and I ended up buying more than I should have or needed to. I managed to resist both <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1341679">Half Magic</a> launches and the new <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1341682">Lisa Eldridge</a> products. Towards the middle of March I picked up a couple of things here and there and then I made an order for some <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1341665">Dieux</a> skincare because they launched international shipping. I also jumped to order one of the new <a href="https://rstyle.me/+B5Xp71KXtxvcGUotcgBzBA">Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oils</a> because their products always sell out and I haven't tried the brand yet. I also ordered the new eyeshadow palette, <a href="https://rstyle.me/+D2YQsu3NHg3si-Je59bwtQ">Give Yourself Grace</a> when I realised they're vegan as I've been trying to find good vegan eye products because of me (self-diagnosed) sensitivity to the ingredient carmine. I had to dispose of most of my eye products that were red, pink or purple because carmine is a red pigment and they had been irritating my eyes. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">So as you can see I have indulged quite a bit, although not as much as I would have if I hadn't been consicously trying to restrain myself but I'm still disappointed. I know going cold turkey probably isn't the best plan of action for me but I think taking a different approach might be better for me. Going forward my plan is to give myself a monthly budget with which to buy products that interest me for both review purposes but also products that I think will integrate well into my collection for the kinds of content that I like to create on social media. I also get sent some press samples of makeup, although not as much as skincare, it is enough to sustain my content. I feel that this will be a better way of me controlling how much I spend and insuring that I carefully consider each purchase without buying on impulse which can be an issue for me. As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, my circumstances have changed and I am no longer earning money so I have to reign myself in which is never a bad thing. Any small amount of money I acquire from affiliate links goes straight back into the monthly budget. It's not much because I don't tend to share them that often but it's better than nothing. I've had multiple inquiries about whether I have or plan to do a patreon or substack but for now I'm sticking to this blog, although I may try something else in the future. I am planning on starting a Youtube channel so that I can film more in depth makeup applications and reviews.

Once again I meant to write this a couple of months ago but it's been quite a chaotic time lately so this is probably going to be a bit of a bumper installment. This time I'll start with makeup, then skincare, bodycare and haircare. Hopefully, it will be easy to scroll down and find what you're interested in reading about. If you've read my other empties posts you'll know that at the end I like to calculate how much I spent on products versus how much was sent to me as press samples. There are 68 products (some of which are multiples) so let's get started!</span></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #666666; font-family: Cambria; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's my second or third bottle but I didn't use it up as quickly this time because I was using other similar products. I particularly love this when my skin is more on the dry side. It's an oil/serum so bear that in mind if you don't like oils as it might be too heavy. It also might have an impact on the foundation or concealer you use on top of it but I've never had an issue. The instructions say to use two pumps but I find that excessive for my combination skin so I just use one pump which I find sufficient and it lasts longer that way too. I already have a backup of this product, so it's clearly a repurchase for me.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+VVDMsuN8S6q6XSiUjnMtJw">By Terry Hyaluronic Hydra-Foundation SPF 30</a></i> 30ml (100 Neutral Fair) 12m, €56</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I wrote about this foundation in <a href="http://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2022/02/every-makeup-product-i-used-in-2021.html" target="_blank">the post</a> I wrote at the beginning of this year reviewing every makeup product I tried last year. To sum it up, it was a beautiful foundation when I could get it to work properly on my skin. The finish of it really depended on how my skin was behaving and what products I used to prep my skin. It had a tendency to sit on my skin and not blend if it was already quite hydrated but then if it was a bit more on the dry side, it clung to my dry patches so it was a delicate balancing act, but when it worked, it looked great. It was just too much work for the price for me. I have more reliable foundations that are half the price so I definitely wouldn't repurchase it. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hedjk7drgkx">bareMinerals BAREPRO Performance Wear Liquid Foundation</a></i> (05 Sateen) 30ml 12m Made in USA €37</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I really love this foundation. This was my second bottle of it and I've just opened a third. Granted, I was sent all three as press samples but I would gladly spend my own money on it as it's such a high-performance foundation and a great price point. It's the one I go to any time I want my foundation to last all day and not budge, or when my skin isn't great and I want more coverage. It also works well mixed with a serum or tinted moisturiser to give a more sheer coverage but still long-lasting wear time. If you're a fan of Estée Lauder Double Wear or Double Wear Light I think you'd like this one as it's somewhere in between those two in terms of coverage.

It's exactly like the description, a soft matte finish but it doesn't look or feel dry. I wouldn't usually buy a foundation with the word matte in the description as I have combination skin and I prefer a more radiant finish and then use powder selectively to mattify. I don't know how well this would work for dry skin types but if you have combination/oily skin and you prefer a more matte finish I'd definitely recommend this foundation. It also has an excellent shade range, one of the best I've ever seen. The formula is slightly different for each shade bracket depending on the needs of that skin type which is something I don't think I've seen from any other brand. I would buy this again no problem but I am trying to use what I have at the moment.

I really should have used this more but as mentioned above it has a 6 month life once opened and I found after that it didn't blend as well as it had before. This shade is more suited to fair skin tones, I know they have other shades that would probably work better on deeper skin tones. It's a sheer formula that can be slightly built up but you're not getting too much pigment. It blends seamlessly and gives a beautiful flush to my cheeks but I don't think I'd buy it again because of its expiry time. Liquids always need to be used up faster than powders and I know I wouldn't get through this in 6 months, not that you always have to go by these dates but my experience was that it started to not perform as well after that time. If this was one of your only blush products or if you are a makeup artist who gets through products quickly then I'd definitely recommend this, I just felt as though I wasted it and I don't want to do that with my products anymore. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hedmf8drgkx">Danessa Myricks Vision Flush</a></i> (Bread 'n' Butter) 6ml €26</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I actually bought this two years ago now and I probably had it mostly used up within a year but it's just taken me a while to clear it out of my makeup collection. I absolutely love this product. As with many of the Danessa Myricks products, it's multipurpose, which is probably why I used it up so quickly, I used it on my cheeks and lips. It also works really well mixed with a liquid highlighter to give it more of a sheen as it's matte. It's quite pigmented so a little goes a long way. It blends out beautifully and this shade which is a warm pink goes with so many different looks so I found it to be very versatile. I will buy it again but I have so many cream and liquid blush products at the moment, I want to use them first before repurchasing this. I have also recently been sent a PR sample of the new <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-929801">Hindash Color Fluid</a> in the shade 'Heartist' which I think is quite a similar shade so I'll be using that for now. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://www.boots.ie/clarins-fix-make-up-50ml-10212680">Clarins Fix' Make-Up Long-lasting Make-Up Hold</a></i> 50ml 18m Made in France €29</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This was a lovely setting spray with a light, rosy floral scent.

I got it as a gift so that's why I've held onto it for so long but this shade just didn't work for my skin tone. I'm just not the biggest fan of Hourglass. They've taken far too long to even try to be inclusive with their shade ranges and I also think their products are overpriced. But I suppose that's most brands unless you're a huge fan and don't mind spending your money on them. I've never been overly impressed and felt like I wasted my money, but that could be just the products I tried. I know people love this brand but I just haven't been excited enough by any of their launches to spend that kind of money. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hed7e4drgkx">Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Blurring Under Eye Setting Powder</a></i> (Light) 4g 24m Made in Italy €31</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I bought this in a set with the concealer so I didn't pay full price but I did love this powder. In fact, I actually used it as my face powder because I really loved the finish. I don't apply that much powder so it lasted me for ages even though it's only 4g of product. That being said I wouldn't spend €31 on a specific under-eye powder, nor would I spend €31 on 4g of pressed face powder. So I'd say the set with the concealer was good value but buying both products separately is quite expensive, more money than they're worth to me. I have lots of powders to try out in my collection so I won't buy one for a while but as much as I loved this I don't think I could justify buying it at full price. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The colour match is great and it's easy to use as it has a thin nib.

I'm using the <a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hektbydrgkx">West Barn Co. Brow Pen</a> at the moment and I probably do prefer it if I'm honest. There's not much between them so again it just comes down to price. I did buy the West Barn Co. one at a discount so it probably worked out less expensive than the Glossier one but all in all I'd probably be more likely to buy the West Barn Co one again.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hedsvbdrgkx">bareMinerals Strength & Length Serum-Infused Brow Gel</a></i> 5ml €23</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is a good brow gel, it was the clear one so I tended to use it over brow pencil to avoid adding colour when setting them.

I can see why it's so popular, it sets my eyebrows so well and has great longevity.

I found it quite sticky and left a bit of residue at first but I just spent a few tries learning the best way to apply it, brush off any excess and it sets to incredibly well. Definitely one for people who want strong hold or have thicker, coarse eyebrows. It's the most expensive of the three I've mentioned here and always seems to be sold out.

You can't really go wrong with Lancôme mascaras and if you like a waterproof one, this is excellent. As you can see the brush is an unusual shape but it gives beautifully fanned-out and lengthened eyelashes.

It doesn't clump but gives fanned-out, lengthened and volumised lashes. It's a really interesting and different brush and formula. I've never tried anything like it. I bought this as part of a set with the other products so I didn't exactly pay full price and as much as I liked it I just wouldn't pay €35 for a mascara, which made it even more sad when I finished it. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hed9v6drgkx">Glossier Pro Tip</a></i> (Black) 0.47ml 6m Made in France €19</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This was my favourite liquid liner for a long time but it has now been eclipsed by the Hindash Heroline.

That one was definitely better but it wasn't long before that one dried out too and I wasn't bothered contacting them for a replacement because it was such a hassle the first time.

I'll stick to liquid liner, pencils and shadows from now on. But if you're someone who wears gel liner every day or again, if you're a makeup artist this is a great product.

Ever. I just don't think spending that much on a wash-off product is sensible, unless you have a huge skincare budget. I would rather spend that money on a great serum. Although I don't think I've ever spent €84 on any skincare product. It's a lovely cleanser, but to me it's not worth the money. You can get less expensive Lancôme cleansers that are just as nice and effective. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://www.casmara.com/en/product/cleanser-3-in-1-deep-cleanser-50-ml/">Casmara Deep Cleanser Multifunctional 3 in 1</a></i> 50ml Made in Spain €21</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This was a travel size that I was sent as a PR Sample goodie bag when I was nominated for an award earlier this year. I'd never tried anything from Casmara before, I just knew they were a Spanish brand. This was a lovely cleanser and the 50ml size lasted a while, but it just didn't wow me. I wasn't sad when I finished it and when I went to look up the price it seemed difficult to get hold of which is always off-putting for me. The price is good for the full size but I just wouldn't buy it myself. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/heeehndrgkx">Omorovicza Queen of Hungary Mist</a></i> 100ml, €70</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Like the Lancôme cleanser, I can't justify the price of this.

Maybe it doesn't do as much for my skin but I love the sensory experience of using it. The scent is quite polarising so I'd definitely try before buying but I've been using this on and off for about 12 years and it's something that I won't always have in my collection but when I do it makes me so happy to use it.

I've only bought this once because the gracious bareMinerals team have kept me stocked up but it's that one product in my skincare routine I have to have. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hejg25drgkx">Pestle & Mortar Pure Hyaluronic Serum</a></i> 30ml 12m Made in Ireland €43</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A lovely hyaluronic acid serum, but I much prefer the bareMinerals one above and therefore wouldn't buy this again.

Like I said above, possibly suited to Vitamin C beginners or younger skin but it just didn't make a visible difference the way the P&M one does.

I loved using this, it worked so well under makeup and I was genuinely sad when I finished it. I haven't repurchased it yet purely because I have a few facial SPF products I need to use first. I've tried a few Ultra Violette facial SPFs now and I've loved them all, there's something for every skin type. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/heji52drgkx">Ultrasun SPF 50 Face Spray</a></i> 75ml Made in Switzerland €21</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I can't really say too much about this because my boyfriend used it more than me but he loved it. It's not a product I would use alone but more as something to top up when you're out and about. Very handy to have but it's important to fully apply sunscreen all over rather than relying on just a mist. I'd definitely buy this again. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hiduhrdrgkx">Supergoop!

It's a slightly tinted SPF with mica in it so it does have a light-catching effect. The shade is slightly too dark for me so I tended to use a lighter foundation shade over it to almost cancel it out. I wouldn't buy this particular one again purely because I find tinted SPFs involve more finesse than I'm willing to put in to my SPF routine. I want something easy that I don't have to think about. It may work well for someone with a deeper skin tone than mine. I prefer their <a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hidunedrgkx">Unseen Sunscreen</a> and I'd like to try some of their other ones about which I've heard good things. You can get a 15ml size of this for €16.90 if you wanted to try it out first without buying the full size. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i>bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Defense Radiant Tint Protective Moisturiser SPF30 PA+++</i> 50ml 12m Made in USA €45</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I really liked this as an all-in-one moisturiser and makeup prep product as it gives a radiance to your complexion. The one thing I didn't like was the scent and I can't exactly describe it except to say I just didn't like it. I'd rather no scent than a bad scent so for that reason I wouldn't buy this myself even though I really liked the product itself. I couldn't find this in stock anywhere so perhaps it's been discontinued or is being reformulated. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hejjk8drgkx">Kiehls Midnight Recovery Omega-Rich Cloud Cream</a></i> 50ml 12m Made in USA €46.50</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I went to a launch dinner for this back in February and I was so excited I broke my one in one out rule and started using it straight away. It lasted for such a long time and was ideal for my Winter and Spring skin when the weather was still cold. I loved the texture and scent and I noticed a difference when using it. I'd definitely consider buying it myself but I have a lot of moisturisers to get through before that. It's definitely a stand-out moisturiser for me which doesn't happen too often. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hejjridrgkx">bareMinerals Ageless Phyto-Retinol Face Cream</a></i> 50g 12m Made in USA €60</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This was a lovely moisturiser that I used at night. It left my skin feeling hydrated and it lasted a long time. There was nothing wrong with it at all, it's a perfectly good moisturiser, but I just preferred the Kiehls one above and it's less expensive so for that reason I wouldn't repurchase this one.

It's a stunning lip treatment, I'd go as far as to say it's probably the best lip treatment I've ever tried. The packaging is so beautifully considered. The texture, scent and results you get from it are second to none. My issue lies in the cost to have it shipped to the EU and the amount in the jar. I tried to not buy this for a while but I was suckered in with a 15% discount code. Even with the discount, with added taxes, shipping and customs it ended up being about €60 in total. I wouldn't mind if it lasted the 6 months that the <a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hekutkdrgkx">Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask</a> lasts for me. However for €60 you get 3g of product which is such a tiny amount. I used it every evening for 6 weeks and then it was gone. Which means it cost me €10 per week. For comparison, the aforementioned Laneige mask contains 20g of product for about €22. As much I loved using it and the results for my lips, it just doesn't make sense for me to spend that amount on such a small amount of product. If I lived in the US and got free shipping I'd definitely buy it once in a while as a treat or as a gift for someone because it's such a beautiful product. I have to hope that Auric eventually is stocked by a retailer here in the EU. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hejjuddrgkx">bareMinerals Ageless Phyto-Retinol Lip Mask</a></i> 13g 12m Made in USA €28</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is my second one of these and I really like it to wear overnight, especially during the colder months. It's a thick texture that really keeps the moisture locked in. Once again there is nothing wrong with this product but I prefer the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask which contains more for less money. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hejjx7drgkx">bareMinerals Ageless Lip Balm</a></i> x2 3.3g 12m Made in USA €26</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I used up two of these since my last empties post. It's a lip balm stick that I apply during the day because it's easier and then I like to wear a lip mask at night. I enjoyed using it but I found I had to reapply quite often as my lips need a lot of hydration so in that sense it probably wouldn't be cost-effective to buy it myself as I feel my lips need more from a lip balm. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hejj8jdrgkx">Ultra Violette SPF 50 Sheen Screen Hydrating Lip Balm</a></i> (Nude) 15g 12m Made in Australia €18</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is the only Ultra Violette product that I didn't like, purely because of the scent. It just put me off using it because I could smell it so strongly. I think I would prefer an SPF lip balm without colour and in a less glossy texture too. I would say it's meant to be worn alone but I would always use it to prep my lips under lipstick or other lip products and it's too glossy and thick for that purpose. It could be the ideal lip SPF if you're wearing it alone as it comes in a few different shades. I'd try it first though to make sure you don't have the same issue with the scent that I had. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>**<a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hejkecdrgkx">By Terry Baume de Rose</a></i> 2.3g 12m Made in France €16</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I had heard such great things about the pot version of this so I was very excited to try it.

I usually like rosy floral scents but this was so overpowering and not a pleasant rose scent to me. I tried to use as much of it as I could but I don't think I finished the tube. It was just a travel size so thankfully I hadn't bought a full size or I probably would have given it away.

I did really like the results of using them when I did remember to use them. So when I finished the tub I decided to buy some reusable eye masks from Dieux in the hopes that I would use them more which I surprisingly have been doing. I really try to avoid unnecessary single-use items where I can and I think if you're someone who enjoys eye masks, the best option is to buy some reusable ones and a caffeine-based hydrating serum instead. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

To cut a long story short they began getting bad again when I was expressing milk using a pump for 6 months earlier this year and I was washing the pump parts up to 7 times per day at the height of it. I bought pair of gloves but often I was trying to wash them as fast as possible and I just forgot to use the gloves so my hands suffered. I wanted a basic hand cream that would nourish my hands and absorb quickly so I decided to try Nursem which is apparently a brand developed by nurses so I figured it would be a good one to try. I bought the <a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/heka2udrgkx">300ml pump bottle</a> because I thought that would make it easier to use. I really love this, it's exactly what I wanted and because it dries in quickly and the pump bottle is such a handy (pun intended) way to dispense it, I find I use it more regularly than I would a different hand cream. I've since used up the smaller tube and bought a second pump bottle. So this is clearly a winner for me. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://www.boots.ie/flexitol-rapid-relief-hand-balm-56g-10093357">Flexitol Rapid Relief Hand Balm</a></i> 56g Made in UK €6.99</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I bought this when my hands were really bad during the Summer and it did a great job of helping them get back to normal.

The scent is supposed to be an adapted version of the 'You' perfume but I really didn't enjoy the scent at all. I found it quite off-putting to use. I also didn't think the formula was particularly good for my skin but as mentioned above I do have very dry hands so it might be better suited to someone with normal skin on their hands. The only redeeming feature for me was the packaging which was quite cute. I also think the price is too expensive for what it is and the amount you get. It just wasn't for me. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hekb5mdrgkx">Clarins Aroma Revitalizing Silky Body Cream</a></i> 200ml 18m Made in France €37</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I loved using this, it came before the Summer and I'm fairly sure I had it used up after a month because I loved applying it so much. The scent is exquisite, so invigorating and the texture is beautifully silky as the name suggests. It's rare that I apply body lotion every time I shower but this product made me want to do that and that's a great product to me. I haven't repurchased it yet as I have a few other body lotions to use up first but I'll definitely buy it again when they're all used up. It's expensive for a body cream so definitely a treat or could be a lovely gift to get someone. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They hydrated my hair without leaving a residue which is what I look for in shampoo and conditioner. They're priced very well too which I appreciate. The only negative thing I have to say is that the scent wasn't my favourite. It's like a perfumed coconut scent to me, rather than a fresh coconut scnet. I know other people loved it so it's just a very personal thing but I would buy them myself as it's difficult to find curly hair products at this price point. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hekgv7drgkx">Kiehls Amino Acid Shampoo and Conditioner</a></i> Refills 1L x2 12m Made in USA €58.50 each</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I was sent both of these along with a full bottle of the conditioner so I could refill it. I ended up pouring the shampoo refill into an old shampoo bottle and it worked very well. They are expensive but they lasted such a long time so I can see that they would really appeal to people. I'd love to see a service from Kiehls where you could bring in your empty shampoo and conditioner bottles and have them refilled in-store at a discount alternatively. I'd definitely use a service like that. I know it wouldn't work for everyone but I know some people would love it. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+irWUu-2vyVsMWNTRLHwDMw">R+Co Dreamhouse Cold Pressed Watermelon Wave Spray</a></i> 89ml, 12m Made in USA €30</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I really loved this product. I bought some of the R+Co X Ashley Streicher products because I follow her on social media and I love her hair advice and tutorials. I also loved the idea behind this wave spray. I found it worked well at adding hydration and texture without that dry, crisp feeling of a sea salt spray. Granted I already have curly hair but I found this gave me some extra definition. It also lasted a really long time despite only being 89mls. I'll definitely buy this again at some point but I have so many hair-styling products I need to use up first. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></i></div><div><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></i></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hekhfgdrgkx">JVN Complete Air Dry Cream</a></i> 30ml 12m Made in USA €10</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I wasn't going to include the next two products because they were just travel sizes but I loved them so much I wanted to mention them. I've already bought a full size of the Air Dry Cream because I liked it so much. I apply it to towel-dried hair and then use a diffuser. It gives my hair hydration and I find my curls are more defined when I use it. I'm looking forward to continuing to use it now that I have the full size. I bought this in a <a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hekhjbdrgkx">set</a> with a full size of the Pre-Wash Scalp Oil which is incredible too. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hekhntdrgkx">JVN Complete Instant Recovery Serum</a> </i>25ml 12m Made in USA €14</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">This was also in the aforementioned set and I loved it too, it's a heat protector and primer in one. It contains ingredients that balance the hairs porosity so that it can retain moisture. It's supposed to be used as the first step in your styling routine. I definitely want to buy the full size of this too. All of the JVN products smell incredible too. I've just bought the hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner so I'm looking forward to starting them once I've finished my current products. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hekhvadrgkx">Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo</a></i> 198ml Made in USA €23</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I bought this in the Summer of 2021 with the intention of bringing it with me in my hospital bag when I had my daughter and then using it after as I figured I probably wouldn't get to wash my hair that often. It's still the best dry shampoo I've tried. I recently bought a Kerastase one because I couldn't find this in stock anywhere but I definitely prefer the Living Proof one, it works better than any of the others I've used and it smells great too which is a must with dry shampoo. I'll definitely be buying this again once the <a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/hekidzdrgkx">Kerastase</a> one is finished.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">The totals are as follows:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">28 PR Samples: €954.46</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">38 Bought by me: €958.27</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">2 Gifts/ Gift With Purchase: €43</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">The total amount is €1955.73 for 68 products over 6 months. I used the average prices for the most part and I tried to include links to websites where the products were the least expensive and currently in stock. As I've mentioned in my previous empties posts I didn't actually spend that much on the products I bought. I bought most at 20% off at least and I know some were even less expensive than that. I've had some of these products for a couple of years too. I've spent quite a bit of money on beauty products this year but I've also been kindly sent a lot as PR samples too. I've been quite good at keeping my one in one out rule for skincare and I'm trying to do that with makeup and hair products too. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I want to reset myself for the beginning of 2023 so I'm embarking on a three month no buy. I have accumulated a lot of beautiful products over the past year, especially the past 6 months and I really want to make use of them and appreciate them. I also have a backlog of content I want to produce because I like to thoroughly test out products before writing full reviews and giving my definitive opnion. My goal is to spend the next few months using what I have and not lusting after new products. In that time I'm planning to make a list of any new products that interests me and then at the end of the no buy I'll see if I still want to buy any of them. I did this at the start of last year and it was a great way to challenge myself, I was determined not to break it and I didn't. Hopefully doing it for longer this time will be even more interesting. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">If you've made it this far, I'd love to know if you've tried any of these products and what you think of them. I hope you all have a lovely New Year and thank you for all of your support, I appreciate it so much. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Emma x</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15256077872149420993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842134200894511866.post-82533381464930762932022-07-29T15:23:00.001+01:002023-08-13T15:19:00.504+01:00Lisa Eldridge Summer 2022 Collection- Insanely Saturated and Luxuriously Lucent Lip Colours<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This post contains some affiliate links, if you make a purchase based on my recommendation through some of the links below I will receive a small commission.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*PR Samples are noted with an asterisk</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Today is International Lipstick Day and I can't think of a better day to celebrate the best lipsticks in the beauty industry. I'm sure I speak for every lipstick lover when I say I look forward to the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1993065" target="_blank">Lisa Eldridge</a> Summer collection every year. This time we were blessed with ten new shades as well as the return of two sold out shades from her Summer 2019 collection- the Insanely Saturated <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1993077" target="_blank">Rainbow Spill</a> and <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1993080" target="_blank">Skyscraper Rose</a>. You can read my review of those shades <a href="http://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2019/07/lisa-eldridge-summer-pinks-lipstick.html" target="_blank">here</a>. There are seven new shades in the Luxuriously Lucent formula- <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1993081" target="_blank">Le Mépris</a>, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1993085" target="_blank">Rosy Shell</a>, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1993088" target="_blank">Je Ne Sais Quoi</a>, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1993089" target="_blank">Wonder Wheel</a>, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1993091" target="_blank">Palazzo</a>, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1993094" target="_blank">Meet Me In Berlin</a> and <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1993095" target="_blank">Night Thoughts</a>. There are also three additions to the Insanely Saturated formula- <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1993099" target="_blank">Sunday Matinée</a>, <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1993102" target="_blank">Strawberry Shock</a> and <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1993105" target="_blank">New Wave</a>. She has really outdone herself this time. Just when you think she has created every shade you could ever need, she drops these ten beauties that are better than anything I could have imagined.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I bought four shades Le Mépris, Meet Me In Berlin, Strawberry Shock and New Wave and I was also kindly sent some shades from Lisa Eldridge and her team- Je Ne Sais Quoi, Palazzo, Sunday Matinée and Strawberry Shock. This means I have two Strawberry Shock lipsticks and I'll be giving one away at the end of this post to celebrate International Lipstick Day and to say thank you. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I knew I already loved both of these formulas so it was a no-brainer that I would want to buy some of the new shades. They all looked beautiful so I just had to narrow it down to the ones I felt were unique to my collection or shades I knew I couldn't be without. I always love to see Lisa's <a href="https://youtu.be/NF6FvKivop4" target="_blank">video</a> that accompanies each launch as it's a great way to decide what you want to buy. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Of course, I would have loved every shade but I had to try to be selective. I went with Le Mépris because I am always on the lookout for that perfect pale neutral. I actually did a look based on Brigitte Bardot as Camille Javal from Le Mépris about ten years ago which you can see <a href="http://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2011/08/film-style-inspiration-camille-javal-le.html" target="_blank">here</a>. It's one of the most iconic makeup looks in film history and in my experience, it's difficult to get this shade right. I knew if anyone could do it, it would be Lisa Eldridge. As far as I know, it's the shade that sold out the fastest too which I think shows where people's preferences lie at the moment. It's a balanced beige, ideal for that sixties pout.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Meet Me In Berlin had my heart for the name alone. Berlin will always be a special place to me as Simon took me there for my birthday three years ago. It was our last holiday as a couple before I became pregnant. We had the best time there and I left completely enamoured with the city. This shade is described as a rich tan and the story behind it is truly inspired. It's a stunning, lively neutral on deeper skin tones and a unique sheer brown on lighter skin tones. It's a sophisticated and ultramodern grungey shade. <br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I audibly gasped when I saw the next two shades in Lisa's video and again when I applied them. Strawberry Shock is exactly my kind of shade. As much as I love neutrals, red lipstick will always have my heart. This is a rare red in that it's somewhere in between a classic blue-based red and an orange-red but with some pink to it. To me, it's Summer in a lipstick. I can see myself sitting on the beach wearing it with white sunglasses and a piña colada in my hand. The dream! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The final one I purchased is New Wave. This one was an absolute must for me. I was beside myself when I first saw it. I can't think of any shade like this one. It is described as a bold magenta with cool blue undertones, "shot through with edgy glamour and electronica chic". The name is perfect because it really reminds me of the pink and purple lighting of eighties New Wave music videos. In particular the video for 'Say Hello, Wave Goodbye' by Soft Cell. I knew I would love this one. It was the first of the new shades that I tried because I was so excited by it. It's not going to be for everyone as it is quite a statement shade, but to me, it's perfect.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I can imagine Je Ne Sais Quoi being one of the most popular shades as coral tends to work on so many skin tones. It is described as a warm, creamy coral with vibrancy and subtlety. As the website says, "it manages to brighten the face without being an overtly 'bright' shade". It's the kind of colour that you could wear with a minimal amount of makeup and perhaps a matching blush, or even pat some of the lipstick onto your cheeks. <br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Palazzo is that classic neutral red that works on so many people as it's neither too cool nor too warm. Inspired by the interiors of the palaces of Italy, it is the ideal lipstick to emulate Hollywood royalty like Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe. The Luxuriously Lucent formula gives it radiance and a more casual feel as it's not a full-on opaque red. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Sunday Matinée is the perfect name for this shade as it's easy like Sunday Morning. It is described as a medium pink with a hint of warmth. It's deeper and more vibrant than Velvet Intrigue and it's warmer than Velvet Beauty. You can see how they compare in the swatches below. This one surprised me in how much I loved how it looked on. It's another one I can see being popular as it's such an effortless shade to wear. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Wonder Wheel and Night Thoughts are still on my wishlist as I know I would love both. I might have to pick up Night Thoughts when it's back in stock as it looks like the perfect Autumnal shade. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If anyone hasn't tried them yet, the Luxuriously Lucent Lip Colour is described as a creamy, balmy texture and a sheer to semi-sheer buildable coverage with a satin finish. The Insanely Saturated formula is creamy and pigmented with a demi-matte finish and a lightweight texture. It can also be worn as a stain if you apply and blot to really press it into your lips for long-lasting colour. You can see more of the Luxuriously Lucent Lip Colours in <a href="http://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2021/06/lisa-eldridge-seamless-skin-luxuriously.html" target="_blank">this post</a>. I have tried to include as many detailed photographs as I could so that you can see exactly how all the products look. I also included close-ups of some of the lipsticks on my lips in a couple of different lighting situations. </span><span style="font-size: medium;">I used natural light and minimal editing to make sure everything is as true to life as possible.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I bought Strawberry Shock myself and then I was generously sent one by Lisa Eldridge. I wanted to send the extra one to someone as a way of saying thank you for all of the support with my content. It's been so lovely chatting with everyone each time there is a Lisa Eldridge launch. It is such a positive community to be part of. If you'd like a chance to win Strawberry Shock, all you have to do is go to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/olgreeneyesemma/" target="_blank">my Instagram page</a> and leave a comment on the photo of me wearing Strawberry Shock telling me your favourite Lisa Eldridge products and make sure you're following my account too. I'll leave it open until Midnight on Monday, August 1st and I will select a winner at random on Tuesday. </div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I'd love to know if you picked up any of the new shades and which ones are your favourites. I hope these swatches were helpful for anyone who hasn't decided what to buy yet. If there are any other shade comparisons you'd like to see, do let me know. Thanks for taking the time to read this post, I loved putting it together.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Emma x</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><br /></div>Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15256077872149420993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842134200894511866.post-74559146094783985912022-07-24T15:42:00.006+01:002023-03-30T21:24:55.947+01:00Empties 2- €1200 Worth of Empty Beauty Products <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This post contains some affiliate links.

This time I have 46 empty products a couple of which are multiples. I have calculated everything based on what I bought myself, what was sent in press drops and some gifts. I knew it would be more than last time as I was dealing with another 6 weeks worth of products. I found it so interesting to see what I used up as I've been trying to maintain my one in one out policy. It's also been interesting to see where I could save money. The products that aren't very good value for money and the products I don't need. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I was invited to have my hair washed and blow-dried in a salon in Dublin. It was such a treat as I haven't been able to visit my hair stylist in over a year. I wasn't expecting much with this new Hyaluronic Acid launch. It felt like a gimmick and L'Oréal jumping on the Hyaluronic Acid trend but doing it in a different way. However, I was genuinely surprised by how my hair felt after using these products. I thought it was just the blow dry but when I washed it myself it felt the same. It felt soft and looked hydrated which is hard to achieve as my naturally curly hair is quite dry and frizzy. I very rarely notice a difference between the shampoos and conditioners I use but I did with these ones. They're quite affordable too. I'll be buying them myself for sure.<br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://www.boots.ie/loreal-elvive-hydra-hyaluronic-acid-mask-moisturising-for-dehydrated-hair-10307036">L'Oréal Elvive Hydra Hyaluronic 72H Moisture Wrapping Mask</a></i> 300ml, €10.49</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Like the shampoo and conditioner, this left my hair feeling hydrated and sleek. It's a thicker and more hydrating version of the conditioner. I would probably buy the shampoo and mask if I was to buy them myself.

It didn't do enough for me to warrant spending €40 on it. I bought it using a discount code so it was less expensive but I have tried cheaper masks that have made more of a difference to my hair. I've also used their Be Gentle, Be Kind Avocado + Kiwi Mega Moisture Hair Mask which I preferred, but I still think it's too expensive full price. I'd rather buy the L'Oréal one or a similar price point if I was buying a hair mask. I'm using a better one at the moment which will most likely be in my next empties. It wasn't worth the money to me but this could be because of my hair type. <br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gqu2amdrgkx">Rituals The Ritual of Jing Night Rescue Hand Mask</a></i> 70ml, €10.50</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I love Rituals hand care products.

My hands were in a bad way. I had dermatitis from constantly washing my hands in work as well as using hand sanitiser countless times a day. I needed to repair my skin barrier and do so without irritation. This is a very simple formula and it worked. My hands started to get bad again recently so I went back to this and have used 4 tubes in the past 3 months. The only issue I have with this product is the size. I found myself going through them so fast and it works out more expensive than you'd think. So I recently bought a 300ml pump bottle of hand cream from the brand Nursem. It's much better for ease of use and worked out less expensive too. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gqu2cxdrgkx">Avene Cicalfate Restorative Hand Cream</a></i> 100ml, €11.45</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I didn't like this at all. So much so that I stopped using it so it's not empty and I don't want to pass it on to anyone because I wouldn't recommend it at all. In theory, it's what I was looking for but it left an almost powder-like film on my hands after rubbing it in. They felt even drier than before I applied it. I didn't enjoy using it at all and it wasn't worth continuing to try it out because it felt so uncomfortable on my hands.

I have used the Clarins Hand Cream for years and I love it, it's a highly rated product for a reason. I was sent this in a press drop a few months ago and I was intrigued to see if it was different to the original. As with most hand balms, it's a thicker texture and more suited to using at night. I loved it and would buy it again when my hands are a bit more back to normal and I can use products with fragrance again. It's ideal as a night treatment for your hands and nails which is how I liked to use it. <br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+R2nfo4I-RRoIjlKDw7HcYw">Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask</a></i> 20g, €24</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This was my third time purchasing the Lip Sleeping Mask. I usually buy it when there's 20% off on Cult Beauty. I find it to be an effective overnight lip treatment and it lasts me a long time as I usually just use it at night.

I prefer a tube lip balm to keep in my bag and for during the day at home as it's more hygienic and easier to use. I would say this is a less intense but more glossy version of the LSM. It's not a gloss but more a very shiny balm. I usually apply it alone if I'm not wearing makeup. If I am wearing makeup I will apply it at the start so that it dries down a bit by the time I'm finished. I find it to be excellent at preparing my lips for any other lip products and I enjoy the scent and texture. It's half the amount of the LSM so perhaps it's not as good value for money. I loved it and I have no doubt I'll buy it again but as I mentioned I am trying to use what I already have first. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I was using up other cleansers before I tried this one so I only got around to using it a couple of months ago. It removed my makeup well and had a light sweet scent. The texture is thicker than a balm or oil. I didn't dislike it but I prefer a thinner consistency. I liked this cleanser and happily used it but I wouldn't buy the full size as there are many other cleansers I like better.<br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gqu2zqdrgkx">Lancôme Absolue Oil-in-Gel Cleanser</a></i> 50ml, €32 (Travel Size GWP approximated from full size price which is €80 for 125ml)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I liked the texture of this cleanser, it's almost like a balm, oil and gel mixed. It removed my makeup effectively too. I wouldn't buy it myself purely because of the price and the scent. I find a lot of high-end brands add a perfumed scent into their skincare. Although I don't usually react to fragrance, I didn't like this scent. For me most of the reason I like or dislike a product is the experience of using it and scent has a huge hand in that. It's something to keep in mind if you are sensitive to fragrance.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gqu24rdrgkx">La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Hydrating Cleansing Cream</a></i> 200ml, €16</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I bought this when I ran out of a second/morning cleanser and didn't have a backup. I went into Boots and couldn't decide what to buy so I ended up going with La Roche-Posay. It's a brand that makes simple and effective products that are a bit more "affordable". I was having some breakouts at the time so I went with a cleanser from the Effaclar range. It contains glycerin for hydration. Zinc PCA, an anti-inflammatory to help with breakouts. And niacinamide which is an all-around great ingredient. This is a basic cleanser in the best way possible. It does what it's meant to and doesn't irritate my skin. It's great as a second or morning cleanser and I would buy it again as I always find LRP products work well for my skin. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/+YqIIZFlfTe2Ke7Np8ZcwgQ">Then I Met You Living Cleansing Balm</a></i> 90g, €42</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This product was in my last empties. I used a different cleanser in between finishing the last one and opening this one and I really missed it. I was so excited to open a fresh one. I wrote a bit more about the brand last time so I'll keep it brief. This is an experiential cleanser that feels and smells wonderful. I know I didn't pay full price, I think it was 20% off. If I could afford it for full price I would buy it but to me €42 is too expensive for a cleanser. I adore this product but I'm trying to use less expensive cleansers and spend a bit more on serums instead. If you can afford it, I can't recommend it enough. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gqu25wdrgkx">La Roche-Posay Toleraine Cleansing and Make-Up Removal Fluid</a></i> 400ml, €22</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I bought this after I used up the other La Roche-Posay cleanser. This is for removing makeup too which I found helpful as a second cleanser. Sometimes you need that extra help, especially for waterproof or long-wearing makeup. The Toleraine range is extra gentle as it is formulated for sensitive and reactive skin. I also bought this because it's a 400ml size with a pump which meant it would last a lot longer. As with the Effaclar one, it's a very simple cleanser formula. What it lacks in excitement it makes up for in ease of use and reliability. I would buy this again, especially for when my skin needs some extra TLC. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's a great, inexpensive priming moisturiser for anyone who has more combination/oily skin. It contains a naturally derived alternative to silicone so it makes an excellent base for makeup but without that slippery silicone feeling. It's a less expensive version of the Glossier Priming Moisturizer. I'd probably buy this instead because they're very similar and this one is more wallet-friendly. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gqu3pgdrgkx">Avène Very High Protection SPF 50+ Mineral Fluid</a></i> 40ml, €22</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I wouldn't buy this again because I didn't like the texture. It's not as heavy as some sunscreens but I have found others that I like more and work much better under makeup for me. If I'm wearing sunscreen with makeup over it I need something I know will work under most of my base products. If I was going on holiday and not wearing makeup it would be fine.

I was sent this and I loved using it and how it made my eye area look and feel. It worked very well under makeup too. The only negative thing about it for me is the price. I wouldn't spend that much on an eye cream at the moment. I have noticed more fine lines around my eyes and my eye area is quite dry so I would always use an eye cream. I know they're not always necessary and so many people don't use them. I can't use my moisturiser under my eyes as I've had issues doing that in the past. Your budget is going to dictate whether you think this is too expensive for an eye cream. For me it is. If I had more disposable income I would say it's worth it. I do think it's worth spending on the areas that are most of concern to you. I always try to spend on eye cream, serums and SPF and then buy less expensive cleansers and moisturisers. But it's all personal and relative to your skin and budget. You can get an excellent eye cream for half the price of this one. But if you can afford it I don't think you would be disappointed. Especially if you love the Double Serum. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gqu3t2drgkx">bareMinerals Ageless Phyto-Retinol Eye Cream</a></i> 15g, €46</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is €17 less than the Clarins one which may not seem like a lot, but spending €46 seems a lot more reasonable than spending €63. This is a completely different texture to the Clarins one. It's an eye cream with a richer texture. It has a plant-based retinol alternative so it's not going to give the same results as retinol. It's close enough that if you can't use retinol or find it too irritating this one will be more gentle. It also contains hyaluronic acid, protein peptides, squalane and glycerin so it's very hydrating, which is exactly what I need for my eye area. I enjoyed using this and next time I'm in the market for an eye cream I would buy this one. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My mam would buy it years ago and I would use it because I loved the scent. I don't think I knew what it was supposed to do. Later on, I would use it as a makeup primer and now the scent is so nostalgic for me. They have recently reformulated it so I'm very interested to try the new one to see if it's very different. I might buy it at some stage to see how they compare. <br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gqu349drgkx">Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum</a></i> 50ml, €112</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I didn't expect to love this as much as I did. The selling point is that it contains a cocktail of ingredients that are known to work for the skin. It has hyaluronic acid, vitamin c and niacinamide and ferulic acid. These are all ingredients I have found to make a difference to my skin, although I do prefer glycerin and squalane when it comes to hydration. I found that this did make a difference in how my skin looked and felt. It improved brightness and texture which are two things I've been trying to work on since having post-pregnancy acne last year. This is an expensive product and that's the only reason I probably wouldn't purchase it myself (full price anyway). I was so sad when I realised I had used it all up. What I will say is that whether this is worth it for you will depend on the type of skincare user you are and your budget. This is an easy one and done product that you could use if you don't have any ongoing skin issues. They're ingredients that most people can use and are known to make a difference. I always try to use products with vitamin c and niacinamide as well as a hydrating serum. These ingredients combined with ferulic acid take the effort out of having to buy and use separate products. The question is would I buy a serum for €112? Even though I loved this product, it's a lot to drop that much money on one product. If I was to buy my favourite hydrating serum, vitamin c serum and niacinamide serum it would cost about €170. So having all three in one product would save me money. If you can afford it and you like Lancôme skincare this product has surprised me and makes my skin look better. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gqu349drgkx">IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Dullness Vitamin C Serum</a></i> 30ml, €25</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I didn't notice much difference using this unlike when I used the Lancôme serum or my favourite Pestle and Mortar Vitamin C one. The texture is quite watery which I found made it difficult to apply without it running down my hands. It may not be strong enough for my skin but it could work well for someone who is only just starting to use vitamin c. I wouldn't buy it myself though as I have used other products where I see more of a difference in my skin. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gqu4apdrgkx">IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Lines Hyaluronic Acid Serum</a></i> 30ml, €25</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I didn't think I'd like this because I don't usually like serums with hyaluronic acid as much as other hydrating ingredients. However I did think this did a good job at giving my skin some added moisture. I wouldn't buy it myself as I do have other serums I prefer over this one. But if you do like hyaluronic acid then it could be one to try as it's a great price point. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">*<i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gqu4fsdrgkx">Kiehls Hydro-Plumping Serum Concentrate</a></i> 50ml, €51</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I've bought this before myself and liked it.

It came in so handy because there was a mini heatwave when I was in the hospital and it was so warm and sticky in the ward. It was amazing used in conjunction with a small handheld fan I brought with me too. It has some great ingredients like Centella Asiatica, panthenol, blueberry and hibiscus extract which calm, soothe and protect your skin. I enjoyed using this and would buy it again. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">**<i><a href="https://purplecloudnaturallavender.com/product/lavender-mist-spray/">Purple Cloud Lavender Mist Spray</a></i> 100ml, €18</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This isn't a beauty product but I thought I'd include it anyway. My boyfriend's mother bought this for me to bring with me in my hospital bag as I love the scent of lavender and find it very calming. It was one of those products you don't need but I found it nice to have a familiar scent around me in the hospital to calm me.

I waited until I was finished that to start using this one. It has a light, fresh scent that reminds me of the sea. It also has an excellent mister that sprays an even and satisfying amount of product. This is a gorgeous product to use in warmer weather too. Would I buy it again? Most likely not because I have others I like that are less expensive. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gqu4mtdrgkx">Pixi Beauty Glow Mist</a></i> 160ml, €24</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I have had countless bottles of this mist. It's something I use all the time but especially in the colder months. It's excellent at helping makeup mesh with my skin, especially powders and it gives an extra bit of glow. It's a product I will continue to repurchase as I haven't found anything else that gives me the same results. I'd also recommend buying the 160ml size as it's better value for money and lasts so much longer too. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This replaced Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter for me. They are similar products but I prefer the Auric one, I find it looks better on my skin. It's a better shade match too, it's more neutral than the fairest shade in HFF. I use it as a primer all over my face, to highlight under or over foundation or mix with liquid blush. It's harder to buy as it's only available online and shipping is expensive so that's the only negative for me. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gqu43mdrgkx">Estée Lauder Double Wear Light Soft Matte Hydra Makeup</a></i> (1N2 Ecru) 30ml, €41<br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I believe this foundation has been discontinued and replaced by Double Wear Sheer. I loved the original formula of this and used it for years. The reformulation wasn't as good but I did still enjoy using it. It had medium coverage with excellent staying power and no transfer.

I may try the new Double Wear Sheer in the future. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://www.patmcgrath.com/products/concealer?variant=39477428518981">Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Concealer</a></i> (L2) 5ml, €42</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I'm in two minds about this concealer. I didn't pay full price for it, I bought it in a set with the powder and it was around €40 for both. I loved both products and I'm almost finished with the powder too. Unfortunately I had to stop using the concealer before I finished it because it was no longer performing as well. The expiry on it is 6 months and I used it for over a year and it started to dry out around the year mark. Up until that point, I loved it and used it almost every day. I don't apply much concealer under my eyes so they tend to last me a long time and that's the issue I had with this. I should buy smaller size concealers because I don't seem to get my money's worth. I do recommend this one and the shade match was spot on. I may buy it again in the future but I haven't decided yet. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://www.cultbeauty.com/milk-makeup-matte-bronzer-6g/13320410.html">Milk Makeup Matte Bronzer Stick</a></i> (Baked) 26g, €22</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This was another case of too much product. I used this a lot and yet it went bad before I finished it. There is far too much in the tube, I don't know how any average makeup wearing person would get through it.

I found after that it started to dry out and not perform as well. I hadn't even used a third of it so it was a huge waste. I loved the powder but I don't use enough powder for this to make sense as a repurchase.

The value isn't as good for the amount but I'd be more inclined to use this size powder which would mean less waste. I probably will buy it again but I have so many powders to get through before buying a new one. If you're someone who uses powder a lot then it might be a good product to buy.

It quickly became one of my favourite brushes and not just because it looks cute, it works well too. Then, after about 6 months of use, it started shedding. Some of it came away from the glue so it became lopsided and more clumps of bristles started coming out. I eventually gave up because every time I washed it more hair came out. Every time I used it I was left with brush hairs across my face. I've been using the other one for about a year now and I haven't had the same issues yet. If you read my last empties you'll know I had the same issue with another IT Cosmetics brush. I love this brush and I use it all the time but if the same thing happened again I wouldn't replace it because I've been burned twice now. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">**<i><a href="https://rebeluna.com/shop/winter/sponges-christmas/ombre-pro-blending-sponge/">Rebeluna Sponge</a></i> €13.95</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/graceyoconnell/?hl=en" target="_blank">Gracey O'Connell</a> sent this to me with some other Rebeluna brushes about a year and a half ago. I haven't been using it that long, but I had forgotten to dispose of it until now. So I thought I'd include it here even though it's not technically empty. I've tried a few different complexion sponges now, the Beauty Blender, the By Terry one and the Real Techniques one but this one is my favourite. I don't use a sponge too much but I do like them. The issue I have is that you have to replace them more often than brushes so I usually prefer to buy a brush instead. I will buy more of these though as I do like to have a sponge on hand to use with certain foundations. You can usually get them at a discounted price too which is always a good time to stock up. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The totals are as follows:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">15 PR Samples - €546.97</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">28 Purchased by me - €621.91</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">3 Gifts from friends or Gifts With Purchase- €70.95</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The total amount is €1239.83 for 46 products over five months. I was going by the RRP or the least expensive full price I could find. I didn't spend that much on the products I bought. I would say most of the products had at least 20% off because I usually wait until there's a discount to buy something. So I'd say I actually spent less than €500 on those 28 products. It's still a lot and averages at about €100 worth of products per month, which I'm sure is quite normal for a lot of people. I'm aware that had I not received those 15 products that were PR samples I probably would have spent more money myself. I know I'm very lucky in that respect. The reason I wanted to continue to put these posts together is that I find this kind of content interesting and helpful. I also wanted to be as transparent as possible by giving a detailed account of exactly what I buy, what I'm sent, what I use and what I would or wouldn't want to use again. Despite my relatively small community online I do accumulate quite a lot of products from press drops. There is a percentage of products I have received that I give away or send to people because I won't be able to use them. I only have one face and most products should last a couple of months at least so there's no way for me to try everything. Using a smaller selection of products until they are empty is a much better way for me to test them out and give my fully formed opinion. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I think I can learn a lot from compiling these posts about what kinds of products I like, what I shouldn't spend money on and where I could save.

Today happens to be Donni's birthday and they are having a 20% off sale on their website. So I thought it was a great day to share my review of the products I bought.</p></span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">With taglines like "Half You, Half Magic", "Wear your heart on your face" and "Transform into today's version of you" I was hooked on <a href="https://halfmagicbeauty.com/" target="_blank">Half Magic Beauty</a>. It's a brand that encapsulates everything I love about makeup, focusing on self-expression and creativity. It's about waking up every day and deciding who and what you want to be and expressing that through makeup. I have always said that the way I choose to do my makeup each day completely depends on my mood, my level of confidence, what music I'm listening to or what I want to wear. I love that Half Magic Beauty has embraced and encouraged this, "It's for the boldest of the bold, as well as the understated minimalist". You can see this ethos clearly in the brand imagery which is gender, race, age and body type inclusive. You can also see real skin, pores, facial hair, lines, wrinkles and texture. There is minimal editing done so that you can see what the products actually look like which is something I wish we would see more in the beauty industry. </span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I was beyond excited when I first heard about the brand because despite being in my mid-thirties, Euphoria Makeup is a movement that I have fully supported from the start. I remember watching the pilot and thinking that I had never really seen this kind of makeup in film or television before. In any of the tv shows that I watched as a teenager about High School, makeup was almost invisible. It was there but you weren't supposed to notice it. The makeup style on the big and small screen has evolved over time as real-life tastes have changed over the past ten years, particularly with the various forms of social media making beauty and makeup mainstream and accessible. There are pros and cons to this, but for me, the biggest positive is that it has allowed people to explore their creativity and artistry when it comes to makeup. It has given us a creative outlet and allowed people to explore avenues that they never would have been able to before now. </span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I have never been one for so-called "Instagram Makeup" on myself, most of which are techniques implemented by Drag Queens for the stage. Things like carving out your brows, baking, cut creases and intense contouring. These are all techniques used to make makeup noticeable from far away and last longer under stage lights. People have always adapted film and stage makeup for everyday wear but the heavy makeup look just isn't my thing. I have nothing against it as it is its own form of artistry and I think it looks incredible, it just isn't for me personally. That's why I sought out other Makeup Artists, people who focused on skin and then makeup, the kind of aesthetic that appealed to me. People who inspired me and encouraged my own creativity. I would see an editorial, red carpet look, music video, film or television series and I would search for the Makeup Artist who was responsible so that I could see what other work they had done. </span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I was following Donni Davy's career with great interest because her style of painting faces was exactly what I was looking for. The characters had their own ways of doing their makeup, some more full beat than others (Maddie). The extravagant eye looks with bright colours, sharp wings and adornments are always the main focus so most of the other face makeup is kept minimal, fresh and almost always undetectable. I read that the team doesn't use powder or foundation all over the skin, it is mostly just some spot concealing to keep everything as minimal and untraceable as possible. It's the kind of makeup that speaks to me because I've never liked heavy makeup on my skin but I do like to experiment with colours, textures and shapes. </span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Seeing the looks that Donni and her team have created has inspired me to think differently about how I do my makeup and to not be afraid to just play, paint and try something different and then wear it out of the house with confidence. </span><span style="font-size: medium;">I have been wearing makeup for 20 years and I have been writing this blog for 12 years. I have seen so much change in the beauty industry over those years but the Euphoria Era (I won't call it a trend because I think it has much more longevity than that) is truly inspiring and that's why I knew I had to try Half Magic Beauty. It's also not just about Euphoria. I'm sure Donni Davy could have done a collaboration with another brand based around Euphoria and it would have sold out, but I respect that she has decided to create her own brand. It goes beyond Euphoria and stands alone and will hopefully continue long after the show has ended. </span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I have a lot of detailed photos to share in this post and I want to let them speak for themselves so I don't want to write too much about the products. I have been trying them out for the past three weeks and have created four different looks in that time as I wanted to try everything properly before writing this review. </span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The hardest thing about placing an order was deciding what to buy. I wanted to try everything but I had to restrict myself, especially as it was a new brand and despite having every confidence that the products would be amazing, I also didn't want to buy too much just in case for some reason I didn't like them. Of course, I needn't have worried. I chose two of the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1049758" target="_blank">Chromaddiction Matte</a>, a saturated eye paint and liner in We Are Aliens (chartreuse) and Sky Juice (periwinkle). The <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1049777" target="_blank">Chromaddiction Shimmer</a>, a saturated shimmer eye paint and liner in Spirit Guide (periwinkle with lilac reflects). <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1035552" target="_blank">Glitterpill</a> eye paint and liner in Microcosm (holographic silver). </span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Then for lips, I had to get the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1049805" target="_blank">Magic Brownie Liptrik Kit</a> which includes the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1049839" target="_blank">Sculptitude 2-in-1 Longwear Lip Liner</a> in I'll Pray For You (warm brown) and I Have Needs (a light peachy brown) as well as <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1049850" target="_blank">Mouth Cloud</a>, a soft matte lip cream in Magic Brownie (rosy brown). I also bought the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1049861" target="_blank">Face Gems</a> in Solid Neon and <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1049865" target="_blank">Light Trap</a>, a duochrome glow powder in Enter the Glow (champagne with lilac pearls). I bought the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1049866" target="_blank">Adornment Tweezers</a> too as I find it difficult to add face gems with my own tweezers. I couldn't help but buy the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1049870" target="_blank">Hair Pins</a> too because they're so cute.</span></div><div class="separator"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZL6fX0JQjAtCU2d1T8j0WgTzUyUagEmGRpdS0pSmTA8X-GSIy0l3M9R6tsVy_3HoJ5z2WUo4g_3fCeyzrcd8IL9KFKiimO4UE6YwBYQpSZyb62qIk7OZ1rUCF5CT9QgMltzL3ixv9btowPShszaczwKaavLZ1AFpI38-bnHl9X0H_78lUfMpYwrc6/s4088/HMB1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2725" data-original-width="4088" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZL6fX0JQjAtCU2d1T8j0WgTzUyUagEmGRpdS0pSmTA8X-GSIy0l3M9R6tsVy_3HoJ5z2WUo4g_3fCeyzrcd8IL9KFKiimO4UE6YwBYQpSZyb62qIk7OZ1rUCF5CT9QgMltzL3ixv9btowPShszaczwKaavLZ1AFpI38-bnHl9X0H_78lUfMpYwrc6/w640-h426/HMB1.png" width="640"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyevWxqPCbjECDtrNw-yTN6T6StrTWA_pKE1OTptSWOK_stD-o12lq7C0xsDC1PrtBzBU0qSJ6F-irPp5xd0E-tXbpbsLQp-tfapfJ_LEedKI3UsTBbiUoZUjgb_WtZysWS2b9swWIJ33JqOYRW4qDyzrQJ5BMTTzzlSVAgmjA3CFQND-WbM1iMl8Y/s4088/HMB2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2725" data-original-width="4088" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyevWxqPCbjECDtrNw-yTN6T6StrTWA_pKE1OTptSWOK_stD-o12lq7C0xsDC1PrtBzBU0qSJ6F-irPp5xd0E-tXbpbsLQp-tfapfJ_LEedKI3UsTBbiUoZUjgb_WtZysWS2b9swWIJ33JqOYRW4qDyzrQJ5BMTTzzlSVAgmjA3CFQND-WbM1iMl8Y/w640-h426/HMB2.png" width="640"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Firstly, the products are vegan and cruelty-free, something that is important to most people, myself included. I was delighted to see this because it means that more people can use the brand. I seem to have developed what I suspect is an allergy to carmine so I have only been buying vegan eye products recently. The packaging is fun and practical from outer boxing to the actual packaging itself. A lot of it is also made from post-consumer recycled materials (between 30% and 100%) and can be recycled using their mail-back program. So many brands throw around the word "sustainability" and it doesn't mean much, but it's nice to see a new brand outlining the sustainability of each product clearly on their website. </span></div><div><br></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwx3R9j3ppivT_b6HjGqjEMxL65OUP9N9H7nqg_5hVHLucvdwvLD9_X-iG1FcA4q3Y6KwnmKSveLALFDTDIkI6DhHyC5fVz-BvSsh8LCC_hcSsC0VmZI6zGPQ020S-iPiozg9FKzghziaS9wOyY2MesNEtJMrfVz3CcWj4zmypvyYkx-4iKxoCDqM4/s3679/HMB23.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2452" data-original-width="3679" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwx3R9j3ppivT_b6HjGqjEMxL65OUP9N9H7nqg_5hVHLucvdwvLD9_X-iG1FcA4q3Y6KwnmKSveLALFDTDIkI6DhHyC5fVz-BvSsh8LCC_hcSsC0VmZI6zGPQ020S-iPiozg9FKzghziaS9wOyY2MesNEtJMrfVz3CcWj4zmypvyYkx-4iKxoCDqM4/w640-h426/HMB23.png" width="640"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;">I decided to buy the neon Face Gems because initially I wanted the Face Studs but they weren't on sale yet. I already had some iridescent face gems from a different brand so I thought the neon would be fun to try out especially as it's summer. They are hypoallergenic with medical-grade adhesive so they are safe to use around the eyes and they won't come off unless you want them to. It's so much easier than using lash glue to apply them which is what I would have done before. The Adornment Tweezers is a game-changer for me and I'm so glad I bought it. It's not something I use every day but even if you like to apply single face gems, it makes it so much easier and safer as it has a rounded tip so you won't poke yourself in the eyes. I absolutely adored playing with these Face Gems, I would love it if you could buy bigger packs of them.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfX1PIthBx3iWD8xjwjjrgAhi_UqvGGvDLd-OW6xFjACYKW9dGP62bqwGdVs44TBKrpzd-fI0AP6L3NFpkxSOvKMFlr3UAsY55VYGVQx2Ah1vEBIeT4c-BCjdSP0-6YlDBc9NB3JGgVGZsziG5T5UO9kO0nvNsWu38U5qXC3Dkla1zmCLtoeLlwHZy/s3917/HMB7(1).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2611" data-original-width="3917" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfX1PIthBx3iWD8xjwjjrgAhi_UqvGGvDLd-OW6xFjACYKW9dGP62bqwGdVs44TBKrpzd-fI0AP6L3NFpkxSOvKMFlr3UAsY55VYGVQx2Ah1vEBIeT4c-BCjdSP0-6YlDBc9NB3JGgVGZsziG5T5UO9kO0nvNsWu38U5qXC3Dkla1zmCLtoeLlwHZy/w640-h426/HMB7(1).png" width="640"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR7FbCNG3saI0b2clyHfP2rr5xC_ixRAtQf18o09BSL6rS-Bo-A0FY1c17M6c0qkmf2bLfZPT5U5_MwTfBVtpccKeO3YvUCNgkFBGglw3PCKkBF0Uhr1bfitHDvf_RYCXMAWgUHcgSGwLQIe9vCq6_1Ht8XRfjOPGql0BmZZXEw2yuYSuYIKD7FIFY/s4088/HMB14.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2725" data-original-width="4088" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR7FbCNG3saI0b2clyHfP2rr5xC_ixRAtQf18o09BSL6rS-Bo-A0FY1c17M6c0qkmf2bLfZPT5U5_MwTfBVtpccKeO3YvUCNgkFBGglw3PCKkBF0Uhr1bfitHDvf_RYCXMAWgUHcgSGwLQIe9vCq6_1Ht8XRfjOPGql0BmZZXEw2yuYSuYIKD7FIFY/w640-h426/HMB14.png" width="640"></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLIj7zbqy6OEz2uRVXBMw215KkAgA9AgcFHWP1hCpGbaq0UN9_fbtUF1sO9y3oI7wWfb_QY4mhAkvN8nIUrvHAIIWDJl0I0OzxK0OGemCAebZSMiYslveEdns1PTQCCKc52BRTM18aKc7zyrJAlsSeP6Y30xdjXdtx0tPRPxikQZihPVixOT0TTu8X/s3510/HMB19.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2339" data-original-width="3510" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLIj7zbqy6OEz2uRVXBMw215KkAgA9AgcFHWP1hCpGbaq0UN9_fbtUF1sO9y3oI7wWfb_QY4mhAkvN8nIUrvHAIIWDJl0I0OzxK0OGemCAebZSMiYslveEdns1PTQCCKc52BRTM18aKc7zyrJAlsSeP6Y30xdjXdtx0tPRPxikQZihPVixOT0TTu8X/w640-h426/HMB19.png" width="640"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrJkr34j3eM1Sc6svNcsL1VlEsu1Kbg7BWgHvOIf9b6aO3r37zOnaZpBnE3CDJM6ZJazxoM5ejpWNiCHciaLk4igmDNcLt_TFnbB1yjudy_3ory_76LuSAIRSBdtPl3StkeDiPg6B-Mbsx5sjL6ssESOKS8b4NBSK-Dl03lDBz6OlAkqEYg-ExgRMY/s3679/HMB18.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2452" data-original-width="3679" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrJkr34j3eM1Sc6svNcsL1VlEsu1Kbg7BWgHvOIf9b6aO3r37zOnaZpBnE3CDJM6ZJazxoM5ejpWNiCHciaLk4igmDNcLt_TFnbB1yjudy_3ory_76LuSAIRSBdtPl3StkeDiPg6B-Mbsx5sjL6ssESOKS8b4NBSK-Dl03lDBz6OlAkqEYg-ExgRMY/w640-h426/HMB18.png" width="640"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQWOHiLu5vcCMMB4drU1bxoKnbbvP1oVuTEN_ZWJ5OKtilz9yRjt-yUgHKvtXywx19N1twOqifK9JUGiLxkSvAREMfcReihaTDQQKowT19Sas_mUpt1ttscLOkQ6p04oVZl_T05lTqWEb55tCapXMbaJMByqR63A_-VVajeKsWo7BH0xA9CY1TSj4S/s3679/HMB19(2).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2452" data-original-width="3679" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQWOHiLu5vcCMMB4drU1bxoKnbbvP1oVuTEN_ZWJ5OKtilz9yRjt-yUgHKvtXywx19N1twOqifK9JUGiLxkSvAREMfcReihaTDQQKowT19Sas_mUpt1ttscLOkQ6p04oVZl_T05lTqWEb55tCapXMbaJMByqR63A_-VVajeKsWo7BH0xA9CY1TSj4S/w640-h426/HMB19(2).png" width="640"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="text-align: left;">The Chromaddiction Mattes and Shimmers have a tapered doe-foot applicator and the perfect amount of product comes out.

As it's such a light texture it's also easy to use it as a liquid liner. The Chromaddiction Shimmer is just as easy to work with and blend.</span></span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;">I love the shades I chose, they are so vibrant and eye-catching and you'll see in my photos below that you can wear them in a more subtle way if you prefer. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It can be used as a cheek highlighter but I love wearing it on my eyes too. It looks beautiful along the upper eyelid and brow bone to blend out the Chromaddiction Matte and Shimmer. I have also used it as an eyeshadow which you can see in the last look below. This was the product I was least sure about, even though it's one most people would probably love. I'm not usually into wearing powder highlighters so I didn't know if I would like it but it's the product I've used the most from everything I ordered as it's just such a beautiful, velvet finish, multi-use product. You can see on the website that it works on so many different skin tones too. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></div></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The double-ended liner is genius as it's something that I tend to do quite often to sculpt my lips but I end up having to use two liners or a liner and two lipsticks. It's so handy to have two in one product. The Mouth Cloud formula is a revelation, especially for anyone used to wearing liquid lip products. I have never experienced a formula like this. It's described as having a whipped, airy texture, blurring effect and nourishing matte coverage. I completely agree with this description, it almost feels like a light mousse which makes it easy to apply a thin layer if you want something sheer but it's thin enough that you can build up the colour to a full opaque brown. The liner is soft and smooth but long-wearing and you can apply it all over your lips, under Mouth Cloud or on top depending on the look you're going for. It</span><span style="text-align: left;"> has the same applicator as Chromaddiction which makes it easy to create an even lip line.</span></span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;">I'm wearing it in all of the images below and you can see it looks different depending on how much you apply as a certain amount of your natural lip colour will come through. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The final thing I wanted to mention is the pricing and shipping. The products are priced between $10 and $26 which I think is quite reasonable. I actually expected them to be more expensive because everything is so expensive at the moment. Perhaps the pricing reflects the fact that their target customer is probably on the younger side, although I definitely had more disposable income when I was in my twenties. I was happy to see this pricing especially now that I know the products are of such excellent quality. The international shipping price to Ireland was $16 which is in line with what I have paid from other US-based brands. I wasn't charged for customs either which was a bonus. There was a taxes charge of about 20% extra when I went through the checkout (I didn't calculate it exactly) so that's something to consider when placing an order. Whatever the price of a product is, you will be paying about 20% more than that. All in all, I think the pricing is fair because I live in the EU I paid more for shipping and taxes than a US-based customer would but that's something I have come to expect. I was willing to spend the money because I wanted to try the brand. Whether you are willing to do that completely depends on your budget. I actually placed a second order over the weekend because they have 20% which means you are taking away the price of the taxes. I had also seen more people using the products and had used the ones I bought enough to know I loved them and wanted to try more shades. I also bought the <a href="https://halfmagicbeauty.com/products/face-gems" target="_blank">Face Studs</a> which weren't available when I placed my first order so I'm very excited to try them. </span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If you're thinking about placing an order, I would also suggest having a look at the 'How To Use' section for each of the products as there are lots of videos with tips on how to apply everything. I found that helpful because often you use a product without knowing how the creator intended it to be used and there are some very useful tips in those videos. </span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The fact that these products were developed by a working makeup artist is apparent in how user-friendly they all are, not just for other makeup artists but for the everyday makeup consumer. I can only imagine the pressure of working on a set whether it's photography, film or television. I would think that working efficiently and smoothly is a non-negotiable so having products, especially colour and glitter products that make your life easier is invaluable to an artist. I have said before in relation to other Makeup Artist brands that they make the best creative directors and brand founders. They have tried every product on the market and I imagine, for the most part, they create products that they themselves would use in their kit. </span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I hope this review was helpful and I'd love to know what you think if you have time to leave a comment here or on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/olgreeneyesemma/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> (head over there for the details on what other products I used in these looks).

Mostly because when I bought it I was heavily pregnant and between that and the mask wearing mandate I figured I probably wouldn't be wearing red lipstick too much. I thought it would be better to wait and save it for when I would be able to wear it more. I'm so glad I did wait now because I really haven't been wearing too many bright shades on my lips over the past year. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A couple of weeks ago on Instagram I mentioned that it was Judy Garland's 100th birthday. I wrote about how seeing The Wizard of Oz over and over as a child ignited my love of red lips. The closest shades I've found to the red that Dorothy wears in the film are Revlon 'Strawberry Suede' (now sadly discontinued not to mention Revlon going bankrupt) and Lancôme L'Absolu Rouge in 'Idôle'. You can see me wearing Strawberry Suede <a href="http://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2016/06/the-first-faint-noise-of-gently-moving.html" target="_blank">here</a> and Idôle <a href="http://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2017/01/lancome-labsolu-rouge.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I would describe it as a creamy, muted, slightly warm red, verging on coral. If that makes any sense at all. <br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">My friend Celine mentioned that Atomic Cherry is very similar to this kind of red and she was spot on. This could most definitely be Dorothy's lipstick. I love the Luxuriously Lucent Lip Colour formula and I own several of them in various different shades. They are the ideal low maintenance lipstick with the perfect amount of pigment for when you don't want too much opacity. They feel so comfortable on my lips too. One of the most frequent comments I get from people when I post about red lipstick is how they are scared to try it. If you're someone who would love to try red lipstick but a full on opaque red is too much, this particular formula and shade would be a great way of easing yourself into the world of red lips. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I wanted to try the Liquid Lurex in Diana with a red lipstick as it's a combination I hadn't tried before. It definitely could have been too intense but I think the semi-sheer nature of Atomic Cherry worked well with the bronze shimmery eyes. I applied the eyeshadow directly to my eyelids and blended it out with a Zoeva 228 Luxe Crease brush and then to create a gradiant look I applied some of the Hindash Eye Tone in Intra, a warm chocolate brown, along the lash line and blended out. I then applied a tiny amount of the Heroline Liquid Eyeliner just on the outer corner to give some fullness to the roots of my eyelashes. I added some of the Half Magic Beauty Light Trap Glow Powder between the edges of the eyeshadow and my brow bone to create a bronze into gold gradation. It's technically a highlighter powder but I've been using it on my eyes and it works beautifully. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I felt like my cheeks needed some extra colour to bring some cohesion to the eyes and lips so I mixed the Enlivening Blush in Island Glow with Pink Soap to tone it down slightly and added some of the Elevated Glow Highlighter in Crystal Nebula to create a luminous liquid blush. I think this step really made the look come alive. I was worried it would be too much altogether but I think the textures and finishes of the products meant they all worked well together and the result is a bronze, glowing Summer look that I felt great wearing. </span><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I had seen Katie run through the products on Instagram and I loved how all of the brands included were ones I've seen her mention repeatedly. I have a rule about Influencer collaborations now, I try to take the specific person's name out of it and ask myself if I would buy the product(s) if their name wasn't attached to it. I suppose in this case it's different because it's a mixture of different brands several of which were introduced to me by Katie (Glossier, Bodyography, Tower 28, Danessa Myricks). It's ten different brands and eleven full size products with a retail value of £549, all for £115. I had to pay for shipping and customs too so it did work out more expensive but still a lot less than if you were to buy these products individually. I didn't necessarily need any of these products but I have bought both REN products and the Glossier Lip Gloss several times each and I owned ten of the Bodyography Glitter Pigments already so I knew I would love Celestial too. I've been wanting to try Tower 28, Votary and Omorovicza for a long time and I have some Amika hair products which I love, the <a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gi8qrjdrgkx">Curl Cream</a> and <a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gi8qtwdrgkx">Curl Gel</a>. I've never tried Shiseido Skincare or Elemis so I was very excited to have those two products too. It's a lot of money to spend but if you have the budget I really think it's such excellent value. <br /></p><p> </p><p>The Edit consists of :</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gi8nncdrgkx">Votary Intense Night Oil- Rosehip and Retinoid</a>, 50 ml- £135</p><p><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gi8nssdrgkx">Tower 28 SuperDew Highlighter Balm</a>- £17</p><p><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gi8nxddrgkx">REN Perfect Canvas Clean Jelly Oil Cleanser</a>, 100ml- £28</p><p><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gi8n6fdrgkx">REN Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic</a>, 250ml- £28</p><p><a href="https://www.gurumakeupemporium.com/products/glitter-pigment">Bodyography Glitter Pigment</a> (Celestial)- £20 <br /></p><p><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gi8pfjdrgkx">Elemis Pro-Collagen Overnight Matrix</a>, 30ml- £102</p><p><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gi8p4zdrgkx">Danessa Myricks Beauty Dewy Cheek & Lip Palette (Dew It Flirty)</a>- £31.50</p><p><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gi8qdadrgkx">Shiseido Intensive WrinkleSpot Treatment</a>, 20ml- £90</p><p><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gi8ppudrgkx">Amika The Kure Intense Bond Repair Mask</a>, 250ml- £28</p><p><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gi8pt6drgkx">Glossier Lip Gloss</a>- £11</p><p><a href="https://rstyle.me/cz-n/gi8qjjdrgkx">Omorovicza Queen of Hungary Mist</a>, 100ml- £59</p><p> </p><p>I haven't tried any of the skincare or haircare yet as I'm trying to use what I already have open but I couldn't wait to get the makeup products on my face. I've only used the makeup a few times over the past couple of weeks so I don't have fully formed opinions on them yet, however so far I have been enjoying using all of them. The only one I've tried before is the Glossier Lip Gloss which I have already reviewed in full if you wish to read <a href="http://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2017/12/a-full-almost-face-of-glossier.html" target="_blank">that post</a> (you can also see it worn alone <a href="http://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2017/08/face-of-day-renaissance-red.html" target="_blank">here</a>). I wanted the main focus of the look to be the Bodyography Glitter Pigment in Celestial (read another post about the Bodyography Glitter pigments <a href="http://olgreeneyes.blogspot.com/2020/11/bodyography-glitter-pigments-ambient.html" target="_blank">here</a>) and the Danessa Myricks palette on my cheeks and lips. The only product I was unsure about was the Tower 28 SuperDew Balm as I already have the Danessa Myricks Dew Wet Balm in Clear. I don't think I need two clear face balms however I love the texture of the Tower 28 one and it's definitely made me sure that I want to try more of their products now. It's a very simple look, I just applied some of the Violette_FR Yeux Paint Matte in Tendre Corail as a base on my eyes and then patted Celestial in the centre on my eyelid and in the centre of my lower lash line and blended it out on either side slightly with another clean finger. It's basically a quick Halo/Spotlight eye. I mixed Tease and Coquette in the Dewy Cheek and Lip Palette on both my cheeks and lips. </p><p>I wanted fresh, glowing skin so I used the Ultra Violette Queen Screen SPF 50+ which I got a couple of months ago and have been absolutely loving. It's ideal for anyone with dry skin or anyone who likes a glow. It's almost like a milky serum and it leaves a radiant finish to your skin, almost like a hydrating primer. I don't know if I'd be able to wear such a glowy SPF in the Summer as I tend to overheat quite easily and I usually go for more mattifying products to combat the hot weather. This is going to be a staple in the Winter when my skin tends to be more on the dry side. </p><p>I also loved this complexion combination of the Auric Cosmetics Glow Lust in Morganite and the bareMinerals Original Liquid Mineral Foundation. I use a very thin layer of the Glow Lust all over and then a thin layer of the foundation working from the centre of my face outwards as it's slightly too dark for my skin tone but I love the finish. The combination of these two products works so well leaving a radiant, medium coverage which is exactly what I want most days. I'd love to know what you think of this look, if it's something you'd wear and if you've tried any of the products I mentioned. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

As always, all opinions are my own. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">When I first heard that <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1989876" target="_blank">Lisa Eldridge</a> was working on a
foundation, I was beyond excited. As someone who has admired her artistry
for years, I trusted her more than anyone else to create a beautiful
foundation. From what I can tell, makeup artists seem to make the best brand founders and creative directors because they have so much experience in the beauty industry. They work with so many people, skin tones and
types and so many different scenarios whether it's makeup for film, television, red carpet or photography. They have also tried every product on the market. It's a wealth of
knowledge that I'm sure is invaluable when creating your own brand and
your own products. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span>My Skin Type and Preferences</span></b> <br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">After four months of trying it out, I am finally writing my review of <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1928016" target="_blank">The Foundation</a> by Lisa Eldridge. I've been wearing it a lot since I received it in December and I've spent the past few months trying it out in lots of different ways to figure out what combination of products works best for my skin. I should probably preface this review with a short description of my skin type and my preferences just in case there is anyone reading this who hasn't read any of my other reviews. I'm 35 and I have normal/ combination skin. My skin finally seems to have settled after 7 months of ups and downs since having my daughter last August. It was particularly dehydrated this Winter and it finally seems to be back to how it was pre-pregnancy. My main skin "concerns" (not that I'm actually concerned about them) being in my mid-thirties are that I'm starting to see fine lines, more dehydration and loss of elasticity. I also have some pigmentation and redness but I'm very lucky that I don't have anything I'm too self-conscious about. I haven't had any procedures done but I do like to take care of my skin and make sure I keep it well hydrated and protect it from the sun. I think it's important to note these things in a foundation review because having Botox/fillers/facial treatments etc. is going to have an impact on how products look on your skin. I feel it's important to disclose anything like that just so that you're not giving a false idea of what a product can do. That's why I've included before and after photos and close-ups. So that you know what my bare skin looks like and what the foundation looks like on it. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><b>The Shade Range </b></span><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Let's get into the foundation itself first. It comes in 40 numbered shades across five shade categories, Light, Light-Medium, Medium, Medium-Deep and Deep. There are an array of undertones available including neutral, rosy, golden, peach, olive, red, terracotta and different combinations of these undertones too. There are ten sample cards that feature four shades on each. At the moment the four lightest ones are out of stock but they should be restocked soon. You can get one free with a purchase and any additional ones are €3. I love that Lisa decided to do this. Her products are only available online at the moment as her pop-up shop in London was only open until the end of December last year. So if you want to buy The Foundation and you can wait for the re-stock of the sample cards I think that's the best option. From what I have seen on social media Lisa's team are always happy to assist with any queries and if you are looking for help with matching I would suggest getting in touch with her team. To launch your first foundation with 40 shades is a huge achievement as so many long-established brands don't have that many shades in any of their foundations. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><b>The Packaging</b></span> <br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I could write a whole blog post on the packaging alone. It is, in and of itself, a work of art. The teasers on her Instagram were truly cinematic. It felt as if I was watching the trailer for a film with one of the great cinematographers. The glass bottle and gold lid and pump evoke a vintage feel but the frosted and matte finish combined with the smooth, minimal shape lean towards a more modern but almost retro-futuristic aesthetic. It brought to mind the Denis Villeneuve film, Arrival, for which production designer Patrice Vermette created an oval spacecraft unlike any we've seen in cinematic history. I know Lisa is a fan of Romanian/French artist Constantin Brâncusi and I definitely can see how the packaging may have been inspired by his work if even in a tiny way. The way the bottle lies on its side makes me think of the sculpture, <i><a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/488458">Sleeping Muse</a></i>. There is no escaping its minimal beauty and I can only imagine the amount of thought and consideration that has gone into its design. It is quite literally breathtaking. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><b>The Formula </b></span><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">The formula is described on Lisa's website as "a customisable medium coverage that can be dialed up or down". It is self-setting and gives a soft focus effect. It also contains a mesh-like ingredient that fuses with the skin after blending. The finish is skin-like rather then dewy or matte. It is advised to apply the foundation in thin layers and build up to your desired coverage, you can also use it as a concealer. The formula is cruelty-free, vegan and free from fragrance, alcohol, parabens, talc, essential oils, nylon 12, microplastics, SPF, D6 and D5. It is also suitable for sensitive skin. You can read about the <a href="https://www.lisaeldridge.com/collections/the-foundation/products/the-foundation-shade-no-5" target="_blank">Key Active Ingredients</a> in full on the Lisa Eldridge website, but in short, the formula contains ingredients that are hydrating, elasticising, antioxidant and skin tightening. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span>My Experience </span></b><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">When I placed an order in October for some of the new products I got a sample card for free, I paid for a second one because I was thinking I would either match shade No. 1 or No.5 as they are both neutral. Although I have some pink/ redness in my skin I usually choose a neutral foundation as that tends to match my neck better and evens out my skin tone too. I have quite pale skin and freckles so my overall skin tone can look slightly darker than it is. I tried shades 1, 2 and 5 and I could make all three work. However, overall 5 was the best. No. 1 probably matched the lightest areas of my face but when I applied it all over I looked quite pasty whereas No. 5 made me look more healthy and fresh. 2 also worked but just leaned slightly more pink which didn't match my neck as well as 5. I'd usually be the lightest shade in most foundation ranges so the fact that I'm No. 5 in this one should be an indicator that you might be able to go darker than you would think. I will usually always look for the lightest neutral shade so I figured I would be 1 or 5 and I'm delighted that there is a shade for skin tones lighter than mine because that rarely happens as I'm sure is the case with the deeper end too. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">It comes housed in a thick cardboard box, the base of which allows the bottle to be stored upright if the side-sitting packaging isn't convenient for your makeup storage. I like the glass bottle too. It's a high-end foundation so I would expect a glass bottle. As convenient as plastic is for traveling, I haven't been doing that much over the past couple of years so glass packaging isn't a factor. As much as I say I don't mind that packaging as long as the product inside is great, I do appreciate such carefully considered and aesthetically pleasing packaging. I prefer a pump as I like how hygienic it is and it disperses just the right amount of product.<br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I have tried The Foundation with and without primers and powders as those additions can be a big factor in how a foundation performs. I also wanted to be extra thorough and put it through it's paces as it's a high-end foundation so I wanted to make sure anyone spending their money on it would have as much information as possible about it first. The first time I use a new foundation I always like to try it on its own with no primer and without setting it to see how it works alone. The next time I will go in with my usual makeup prep products which include the <a href="https://auriccosmetics.com/products/glow-lust-radiant-luminizer?variant=40383503138999" target="_blank">Auric Cosmetics Glow Lust Radiant Luminizer</a>, <a href="https://rstyle.me/+he07WRawPESYG6vnanIAlg" target="_blank">Glossier Futuredew Oil Serum Hybrid</a>, <a href="https://rstyle.me/+KnBj8_Ilf0F2lpkZoerilA" target="_blank">Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops</a> or the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1993065" target="_blank">Lisa Eldridge Elevated Glow Highlighter</a> in Cosmic Rose or Crystal Nebula. As this formula is not too dewy, not too matte, a Goldilocks kind of foundation, how I prep my skin really depends on how much extra hydration I need or how much glow I want. Most days I just tend to use the Elevated Glow Highlighter on certain areas of my face as it's a skincare hybrid formula and gives me just the right amount of added hydration and glow that I like. The key to this foundation is to use it exactly as instructed on the website, in thin layers. I would usually use just one pump all over and maybe go back and conceal
or add extra coverage with another half pump or so which is what I did
in the photos below. Most of the time one pump will be the perfect amount for the kind of light to medium coverage I prefer. You can build it up too, but again I would use very small amounts of the foundation in very thin layers. This will also help with how well it wears throughout the day. <br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">As I mentioned above, it is a self-setting foundation, and the formula contains Bamboo Stem Extract which according to the website is naturally rich in Silica and "helps absorb any excess perspiration and sebum to give a fresh, soft finish without drying the skin." As my skin has been quite dehydrated recently I have found that I haven't needed to set my foundations as much and I definitely wouldn't set this unless I needed it to last all day (which I haven't needed in the past four months). It completely depends on your skin type but if you have more oily skin you might want to set with powder and if you have dry skin there would be no need. You might just want to make sure your skin is properly hydrated beforehand. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">The first time I applied it I was quite struck by the soft, natural finish. Straight away I thought, this is a foundation that so many people will be able to wear. I remember looking at my skin at the end of the day and I genuinely couldn't believe my eyes. Most foundations become progressively worse looking on the skin as the day goes on but this time my skin looked beautiful. It wasn't coming away from my face or creasing and my t-zone, which is usually quite oily by the end of the day just looked glowing and healthy. It's something that surprises me every time I wear it and it's the quality that makes this foundation one that I think would be the perfect foundation for an all day event or a wedding. It's something that I have never seen before in any other foundation I've tried over the years. <br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">As I mentioned above, I was very kindly and generously gifted The Foundation as a thank you. I had every intention of buying it myself after trying the samples and I will most definitely be buying it myself once I have used up this bottle. At the moment I am using it for days out or events when I want to look my absolute best. To be completely honest, I was so nervous when I first tried out the samples that I wouldn't like it. I kept hoping that it would live up to my wildly high expectations and I am so delighted that it does. In fact it far exceeded any preconceived expectations I had in my mind. It's completely unlike any foundation I have ever tried before in the best possible way. I think it's such a versatile product and I love how inclusive it is in terms of skin tones, skin types and ages. I have seen so many other people rave about it too and it seems to have quickly become a firm favourite in so many people's makeup bags. If you can get a sample card, I would highly recommend it because I strongly feel that this is the most beautiful foundation ever created. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">The Foundation is priced at €53/ £44/ $61 for 30ml which is a standard foundation size.</span> <br /></div><div><br /></div><div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLQ542iBeyrPS7Y6aJhjrhYdwgDnGmSA5wAtIoY_GQOoyjmnGtL70WuoG5RYhMIksZqXC3shy6snM92AH40yL67-6OnHwhDVoVhN2R_4cHOu1fBFJIceVZ-FS5n5w8G-up_Tn60SnL6cn4DFEiNbtWl7D1h3-GQKpLzHXGSTCTZBSHaJUgvqaVZ7Uk/s3450/LETF5.1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2300" data-original-width="3450" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLQ542iBeyrPS7Y6aJhjrhYdwgDnGmSA5wAtIoY_GQOoyjmnGtL70WuoG5RYhMIksZqXC3shy6snM92AH40yL67-6OnHwhDVoVhN2R_4cHOu1fBFJIceVZ-FS5n5w8G-up_Tn60SnL6cn4DFEiNbtWl7D1h3-GQKpLzHXGSTCTZBSHaJUgvqaVZ7Uk/w640-h426/LETF5.1.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBL2XD5EUwIoecuGa-ASX6uL-W73Wz2nsyZqh5_iYOqVrNiHpLkQ20_qB1M634yiCavY0ZuJi5VYweDN2R3BmsGJ3SoJza2L6Vc8YSo0SYxavpw2kD_iGOnBjYqsUkCB2UrpbIjp3OjzrXdOoHbFOxrhcd487MmW7fb2Rr2yVyeUp6GpFaMzHk_Tr5/s3121/LETF4.1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7uNMWLivQ6zg0lwIlKlKxImKE7YsMx4ctR9AzhXL_pH21tDsGFTRc1d5lHwUgyEa3RdKCfeBt6bJsVctSWGCOWfvZNmdUa0AWc6EvKjvjJh28YfEFEVIPveTXAAg7grRGmGelagL_aj0f6sJkbqnfZ9i9s72VZvU7D--b2RlgtX57UDsN89xkNcn2/s3572/LETF7.1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3572" data-original-width="2384" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7uNMWLivQ6zg0lwIlKlKxImKE7YsMx4ctR9AzhXL_pH21tDsGFTRc1d5lHwUgyEa3RdKCfeBt6bJsVctSWGCOWfvZNmdUa0AWc6EvKjvjJh28YfEFEVIPveTXAAg7grRGmGelagL_aj0f6sJkbqnfZ9i9s72VZvU7D--b2RlgtX57UDsN89xkNcn2/w428-h640/LETF7.1.png" width="428" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3fDfgsBa4gz8OjJDat0Wm-vXLXXqZecKWUP8eH-_FdNQhp8IW6eLEsoySI6QsQ0rjsOJOUyuQNz2N85evx7gTZgfdS7uuN4JpYgwnIXDpHghcl20DU9gE6YIgXVmnDATkKtYcvJb5_3Z7UuPNxblkvbUcSa4IdpeNHGCRCZAW_QIQZwo02igIWmdr/s3469/LETF9.1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2313" data-original-width="3469" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3fDfgsBa4gz8OjJDat0Wm-vXLXXqZecKWUP8eH-_FdNQhp8IW6eLEsoySI6QsQ0rjsOJOUyuQNz2N85evx7gTZgfdS7uuN4JpYgwnIXDpHghcl20DU9gE6YIgXVmnDATkKtYcvJb5_3Z7UuPNxblkvbUcSa4IdpeNHGCRCZAW_QIQZwo02igIWmdr/w640-h426/LETF9.1.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-MDlNDijhPoYcLuOSPz_n4Ta0kUPAJXJAT6BfcTDxjjcG60235SjSJ0paVq61SRfBIKB-Guy4drOEj0jQA7T4AcMFgGEuirwDd5jPerfOyIDPCIPI5O8A4Kv29Air_daDm_apl6fKvFmim9wues4vIkD8sj_qwHQ91uQf3z-BLJatLVK6JxjvIarO/s3497/LETF8.1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2331" data-original-width="3497" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-MDlNDijhPoYcLuOSPz_n4Ta0kUPAJXJAT6BfcTDxjjcG60235SjSJ0paVq61SRfBIKB-Guy4drOEj0jQA7T4AcMFgGEuirwDd5jPerfOyIDPCIPI5O8A4Kv29Air_daDm_apl6fKvFmim9wues4vIkD8sj_qwHQ91uQf3z-BLJatLVK6JxjvIarO/w640-h426/LETF8.1.png" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Keep in mind, these swatches are much more concentrated than you would usually apply foundation to your face and they are not fully dry. This photo is more to give some kind of idea as to the difference in undertones. I can wear all of the foundations on the bottom row, some shades work better than others. The Foundation in No.5 is an almost perfect match for the skin on my face and my neck as you can see from the photos below. It's very hard for me to get a perfect match as I have several different shades on my face and neck like most people. </span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I wasn't going to, mostly because they kept selling out and the last time I checked, only two shades were in stock (Diana and Lauren). I wanted to write this review anyway because I'm hoping all of the shades will be restocked soon and I know so many people were interested in them when they were released in December. There seems to be a constant need to be reviewing products as quickly as possible and sometimes we need to allow products to integrate into our makeup bag before we form a full opinion on them. This is also the reason I wanted to wait to write a review of The Foundation, which I am working on at the moment, now that I've had the time to properly try it out in numerous different situations and combined with different products. </p><p>Every time Lisa Eldridge teases a new product launch I get so excited to see what she has come up with. I was hoping I would love the Liquid Lurex Eyeshadows because everything LE has created so far has been beautiful. If you follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/olgreeneyesemma/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> you'll know that they did not disappoint. </p><p>There are five shades, Bianca, Angelica, Lauren, Diana and Liza. As much as I would have loved all five I decided to get three shades that I thought would work well alone or together and that I knew I didn't have too many of in my collection. </p><p>I bought Bianca, Diana and Liza. Bianca is the palest shade and is described as "a sweet, blushing, minky heather with sparkling notes of silver, pink, green and lavender pearl." I completely agree with this description. It's a mixture between a pink and a cooler lavender with multi-dimensional pearly shimmer. You can see it up close in the photos below but photos really don't do these products justice. I audibly gasped when I first applied Bianca. It was the first one I tried and I wore it alone because it's so beautiful on it's own. </p><p>The next shade I tried was Diana which is described as "a fiery metallic copper with intense Sienna lustre and sparkling red, gold and magenta pearl." You can see in the out of focus photo below, the different pearl colours sparkling in the sun. I love these kinds of warm bronze/copper shades as I always find they bring out my eye colour. </p><p>The final shade I bought is Liza which is described as "an intense charcoal shot through with silvery flashes of stardust combined with a heady mix of magenta, violet, blue, green and disco ball silver pearls." I bought Liza because I thought it would be perfect to deepen the other shades or worn alone as a one and done smoky eye. It's probably the most high impact as it's the deepest shade. </p><p>I tried to include as many different looks as I could in the photos below so you can see how these products can be worn. I've used all of them on their own and combined with the other shades too. They can also be worn as a liquid liner using a thin brush, on top
of powder, cream or another liquid eyeshadow, as a wash of shimmer or built up
to full opacity. They are so versatile. I wore Bianca and Liza on Christmas Day as I wanted an easy, but sparkly eye look that would pair well with red lipstick (<a href="https://www.lisaeldridge.com/collections/true-velvet-lip-colour/products/velvet-ribbon-true-velvet-lipstick-colour" target="_blank">Velvet Ribbon</a> of course). I applied Bianca all over my eyelids and on my lower lash line and then a small amount of Liza along the outer upper and lower lash line and slightly blended up and out to give some depth and smokiness. In the fourth look below I used Diana in a graphic, exaggerated liner shape with full opacity. The colour builds evenly and doesn't get streaky. It almost looks like molten metal on your eyelids. <br /></p><p>Over the past couple of years I've tried lots of different liquid eye products from <a href="https://rstyle.me/+jDKYnctFdk2LHAzgDzjZPQ" target="_blank">about-face</a>, <a href="https://rstyle.me/+KsOltOhBW3_AWvW9P1R-Vw" target="_blank">Danessa Myricks</a>, <a href="https://www.violettefr.com/products/yeux-paint?variant=40939967840445" target="_blank">Violette_FR</a> and the Liquid Lurex are by far the easiest to use. They are incredibly user friendly, not that the others aren't, but I think anyone from beginner to expert will be able to use these without a problem. The way I use them is to apply to the back of my hand and then I take a flat brush to apply and a blend with my usual fluffy <a href="https://rstyle.me/+mrLCYnyNRpKZb36ALsIuGg" target="_blank">Zoeva 228 Luxe Crease</a> brush. I have also applied them directly to my eyelids with the applicator and that works perfectly too, I think I just prefer having more control working from my hand. They do set so you don't have endless play time but you have enough time to apply, blend, finesse and then it sets. And once set, they do not budge! There is no fallout either so it's very easy to apply in a hurry or one-handed. I often do my makeup while I'm feeding my daughter (I have a breastfeeding pillow which means I can use both hands) but it's still so easy to apply these eyeshadows with limited mobility and get a beautiful, seamless look. I've also used them to save some eye looks that have gone awry and they always do the trick. If you want to try sparkly eyes but find loose glitter too hard to work with or if you find cream eyeshadow creases (like me) then these could be what you're looking for. </p><p>The texture is almost something that falls between a liquid and a cream making it easily blended but creamy enough that it stays on your eyelids. The packaging for me is also so well thought out, the applicator is the perfect size if you do want to apply straight to your eyelids and when you twist them closed, the lid clicks so you know it's closed securely and the product won't dry out. </p><p>Hopefully the other shades will be be in stock soon. I am also hoping that Lisa is working on more shades as this formula is too good and I would love to see more colourful shades, jewel tones and even mattes. If you like a shimmery, lustrous eye look that is chic and sophisticated, Liquid Lurex are for you! I genuinely can't recommend them enough.<br /></p><p>I'd love to know what you think, have you tried the Liquid Lurex Eyeshadows yet, are they something that interests you? They are priced at €23/ £19/ $27 and are only available from the <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-1993065" target="_blank">Lisa Eldridge site</a>.<br /></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
