Empties #2 | Repurchase?


Yes, it really has taken me this long to accumulate enough empty products for a half decent post (my last empties post was way back at the beginning of March!) There would be more than this if I could get into the hoarder frame of mind more easily but unfortunately they ended up in the bin, must try harder! So this is what I've got through in the last few months...

I got this travel size hairspray in a Glossybox a while back and Tresemme are more often than not the hairspray I pick up anyway. It's got a good hold and doesn't leave you with crispy, sticky hair. The full sized cans also last for ages which makes them well worth what you pay for them
Repurchase? Definitely!

I have never been so sad to see a primer run out, I absolutely love this stuff! It gives you such a glowing complexion, I would have re-bought this the second it stopped pumping if I wasn't trying to kerb my spending ways and also waiting to try out the new Benefit primer. I have no doubt that we'll be reunited before the summer is out though!
Repurchase? Hell yeah, 100% will be buying this again at some point!

My name is Jade Hardy and I am a mascara hussy. I swap from brand to brand, thickening to lengthening and although I really liked this mascara I'm still on the hunt for the one that will make me stay faithful. This lengthened and separated but dried out so quickly and I didn't use it any differently than I do other mascaras that have lasted twice the time this one did.
Repurchase? I probably wouldn't repurchase the Star version of this again but Doll Eyes is definitely next on my list.

This was a nice fluid black eyeliner pen with staying power that I'd never seen in a product like this before but application proved quite difficult with patchiness and rubbing off the black if you drew over an existing line, it definitely wasn't effortless.
Repurchase? £19.00 is far too much for me to spend on an eyeliner pen seeing as I get through them like water. There's drugstore brands that do just as good a job (if not better) for a fraction of that price.

This product is an every day staple for me, it's so easy to dispense and apply. As soon as it's on my face my whole complexion is brightened. Late night, what late night?!
Repurchase? This wasn't my first and I'm already on my next!

The first time I tried this was when I took a travel size version to Ibiza with me last summer but I was disappointed and blamed it on the hot weather making my make up fall off my face at every opportunity but unfortunately when I got to try this again in the depths of winter I still felt the same, am I the only person who doesn't get along with this?! It's a nice enough mascara and I love the brush, the way it's shaped makes applying to bottom lashes a dream but I really wasn't wowed.
Repurchase? I wouldn't go out of my way to use this again, I'm still on the hunt for my holy grail mascara.

I had a few issues with this highlighting the tiniest bit of dry skin on my face and making it look a lot worse instead of covering it. I found the finish to be quite matte and the coverage was buildable. The scent was a little strong at first but nothing that you don't get used too and it could feel a bit suffocating on the skin at times but it was a very even coverage and soon disguised any blemishes or signs of uneven skintone.
Repurchase? I may well do in the future but I'll try a few other brands and types before I revisit.

Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in Fracas

 
 
 

I am loving all of the Spring collections coming out, the sun just needs to follow suit! I'd been looking at the new Chanel nail colours for a while but £18.00 is just a bit too much for me to justify spending on a single nail varnish and that's when fate struck. I went to the dentist and they told me that because my mouth is so healthy (hell yeah!) I only had to go once a year from now on therefore saving me £17.50. In my head the Chanel Nail Varnish was now free (what's 50p between friends?) and I've never seen anything enter my Debenhams online basket so fast!

This is a lovely vibrant pink and I'm not usually a pink nails kind of girl so I don't own anything like it. it looks very glittery in the pot but I found that it doesn't really transpire onto the nail very well which was good for me because I don't really like shimmery nail varnishes (Full on glitter is another story, I love them) but if you're looking for the sparkle to be noticeable I really don't think that it will be. It was almost full coverage with one coat but I used 2 just to make sure that it was as opaque as it could be although I think that I could have got away with one. This lasted on my nails for over a week with minor chipping, I only took it off because I was bored of it, not because it looked messy at all. I really wish I didn't get on with this formula as much as I did because now I need some more fateful things to happen so I can treat myself to another one!

Midweek Wish List #3

123♥45

1. Anything darker than ivory scares me but I long for that Lauren Conrad sun kissed glow and I think Chanel may have answered my pasty skinned prayers!! I tried this at my friends house (after a few glasses of wine so my memory may be hazy) and I loved it but not the price tag that comes with it boohoo!!

2. There's been a tiny bit of sunshine (followed by some snow and then some rain) but it reminded me that life after winter does exist and I want to get my legs out, preferably in these Topshop shorts.

3. You can never have enough cute necklaces and these are 3 for the price of 1, layer them up or wear them separately. It's a combination of hearts and bunting, how can you resist?!

4. Be still my beating heart!!! It's the MAC Archie's Girls collection and it is limited edition, so you know what that means girls?! We all get into a bit of a frenzy (Think Monica and the wedding dress) The Betty Bright lipstick and Pearlmatte Face Powder in Flatter Me are what I'm going to try and get my hands on. Help a sister out, does anyone know the actual UK release date for this?!
Edit: I've just answered my own question with this one, it's available exclusively at Selfridges NOW!!!!!!!!!!

5. The most sure fire way to get your heartbroken - fall in love with something Mulberry! But it's SO pretty waaah!!

On my first wish list I mentioned a gorgeous heart print dress from Topshop but for some reason I never got round to buying it UNTIL it was reduced to £20, Happy Valentines day to me!
