Empties #11 - October & November 2013

I haven’t used too many products up this past couple of months. Most are just repeats, but there a few products I haven’t mentioned before. Pearl Drops Ultimate Whitening Toothpolish | 50ml This is the kind that claims to give you the ultimate Hollywood smile. It should make your teeth four shades whiter in three weeks. I haven’t noticed any difference at all and I have used it for a few months now. It is my first tube, so I am tempted to re-purchase and continue using for a while longer. Price - £4.85 Soap & Glory Clean On Me™ Shower Gel | 500ml This was not my first bottle of this scent and all of Soap & Glory’s body washes are amazing. They lather really well and last forever. Price - £6 ASDA Little Angels Baby Wipes (Fragrance Free) | 64 wipes I have used up several packets of these and will continue to do so. Price - 87p Wilko Body Spray in Dreamy | 75ml This is my favourite cheap body spray, which is not from Impulse. It smells very fresh...

e.l.f Studio Cream Eyeliner in Teal Tease

Teal Tease - metallic, electric teal blue It starts off creamy and then completely dries up and shrinks. I have reviewed this product here . £3.75 - EyesLipsFace.co.uk

e.l.f Studio Cream Eyeliners

A while back I decided I wanted to try a different type of eyeliner because liquid wasn’t working so well for me, so I decided to look into cream/gel eyeliners. I had heard about the e.l.f one before and decided I would give it ago, plus I was already into e.l.f products and I had never experienced anything negative from the brand. I’ve tried four shades and they are Black , which is a dark charcoal black, Coffee , which is a matte medium toned coffee brown and Punk Purple , which is a metallic deep royal. I had to throw all three away for reasons I will explain. The packaging is a cube shaped clear plastic container with a black plastic lid. You have to twist the lid to get it off and it is mean’t to be air tight. You also get a free small angled eyeliner brush with each shade. The formula is dryer than gel eyeliners because it is cream based and the formula is not really glossy looking. You get 4.7g of product in each container. This product is mean’t to give you s...

Urban Decay Super Saturated High-Gloss Lip Color in Lovechild

Lovechild - medium pink with blue undertones It is really glossy, creamy and pigmented. You can also wear it sheared out if you don’t want a full on bright lip colour. I have a review of the Super Saturated High-Gloss Lip Color here . £14 | UrbanDecay.com

Review: Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

When this product was first advertised, I knew I would be interested. I wanted something lighter than foundation for daily wear and after trying a couple of samples of this I decided to purchase it in full size. The packaging is a slightly rounded plastic tube. It has a simple design and looks quite plain. It also has a small wide nozzle, which dispenses the product. When you twist the cap off, some of the product does seep out a little. The formula is kind of light and wet. You get 30ml of product in the tube and I have shade Light. This BB cream is supposed to contain eight benefits in the one tube. It should blur imperfections, feel fresh, give your skin a natural glow, compliment your skin tone, look smooth,  hydrate, protect with SPF 30 and be oil free and non-greasy. This is the only BB cream I’ve tried, but I really like it. It blends well and spreads evenly and can last up to eight hours and then some. It gives your complexion a natural glow and makes your fa...

Soap & Glory Love At First Blush™ Cheek Powder

Love At First Blush - 7.5g Shade 1 - pink pop Shade 2 - soft beige Shade 3 - dusty rose Shade 4 - light pearl 4 Shades Mixed - soft, sandy, rosy pink The shades come across quite sheer and poorly pigmented when swatched on your arm, but on your fingertips they look bright. They are all ultra-shimmery and kind of frosty looking. It gives your cheeks a warm, frosty and rosy look. It is not a bad product, but because of the shimmer I wouldn’t personally wear it. £11 - SoapAndGlory.com
