Conspicuous Glow: 2018

Social media made me buy it: favorites or regrets?

July 05, 2018

When it comes to social media I can admit that I am easily influenced by other people, and their opinions, especially when it somes to beauty products. Over the years there have been some products I've bought that I never would have bought if it weren't for the fact that they were hyped up so much on social media. With that said, there isn't many of these products that has really disappointed me tho, I've been rather pleased with all of them.

Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette

This one I bought about a year ago, I think it was the second time it came out, and I had heard so many good reviews of it so I just had to buy it! It's definitely become a favorite, I don't think I ever will regret buying this! The quality of this palette is amazing, the shadows are so buttery and blend like nothing else. The color combination is bomb, the perfect summer palette, Too Faced really did it with this one.

Laura Mercier Loose Powder

Before the big hype of the Laura Mercier Loose Powder, I didn't even know that loose powder and baking was a thing. So after a while of hearing about this all over YouTube and Instagram, I finally decided to try it out. After I used it a couple of times i realized that my makeup stayed put for so much longer on my oily skin, and that my pores and texture were minimized. I would say that this product seriously changed my hole makeup game (even tho its not my favorite anymore, since I've tried other ones).

Benefit Porefessional Primer
When primer first became a thing, this was the one everybody was talking about. It was everywhere, and all of the big influencers raved about it, and how you couldn't do your makeup without it. So of course, i bought it. When I first tried it out I was amazed over how small my pores looked and how flawless my skin seamed. But after a few hours of wearing this on my oily skin I noticed that my oils started peaking through and the foundation started to break apart.. I still use this tho, but only on occasions when I'm wearing my makeup for a few hours, and not the entire day. Would probably not repurchase this one, would rather buy a primer that suits my skin type better.

Make Up Forever Ultra HD Stick Foundation
This stick foundation was extremely popular a few years ago, and I heard about it everywhere. So when I was out traveling one summer I decided to pick this up, and I was so exited to use it. But again, I have oily skin. This looks really good when I first apply it, but after the five hour mark it just breaks completely apart on my skin, all my oils just ruins it.. So I don't use this that much unfortunately.

L'Oreal Paradise Mascara
This one is a rather new product that got raved about on the Internet when it first launched. This was the mascara everybody was talking about, and I remember I was so upset with the fact that I couldn't get it right away. When I finally got a hold of it I was so excited, and for very good reason! This seriously became my new favorite mascara the second I tried it. It just gives my lashes so much volume and length, without clumping or smudging.

Physisians Formula Butter Bronzer
With this one I really understand the hype! This is seriously the prettiest bronzer I've ever used. This has the perfect color for my skin tone, not too grey, but not too orange either. In addition to that this blends like a dream, it doesn't matter if I put on too much, I can just blend it away, and that way it always looks flawless. I'm in love.

April/May Empties

Empties

March Empties

April 10, 2018

I seriously can't believe the amount of products I use up every month! When I started collecting my empties I didn't think that I would have enough products to make a post every month, I thought I would have to do one every 2-3 months, but girl was I wrong. I use up so many products every month, I don't even know where they come from.

This month I've used up about the same amount of products in all three categories; skincare, body/hair and makeup. In my skincare empties there is a wide variety of brands and products, and I've almost used up one product for every step in my skincare routine, in addition to a couple of mask. In my body/hair category it comes as no surprise that the majority of the products are from Korres. They have, as most of you know, my all time favorite body products, but this month it was a few more than usual. When it comes to the makeup I've used up there is actually way more than usual. I've actually used up two foundations, two mascaras and two brow pencils! I must say tho that all of these have been open for much longer than one month, they just happened to run out all on the same time.

My empty skincare products:

Laneige Perfect Pore Cleansing Oil. This is the best cleansing oil I've tried so far. It removes absolutely every last bit of my makeup without stinging my eyes, and it's so easy to rinse of. I will definitely repurchase.
Ole Henriksen Find Your Balance Oil Control Cleanser. My favorite morning cleanser. It keeps my oils under control and helps prevent breakouts, without been to drying. Will always repurchase.
Erborian Ginseng Smoothing Effect Essence. Enjoyed this serum, it has this light gel texture so it absorbs really quickly. Gave my skin a good amount of moisture, but not my favorite serum. Will probably not repurchase.
Skin Camilla Pihl Anti-Age Eye Cream. This eye cream was a little heavy for me, it gave a lot of moisture and I really liked that it had SPF 15 in it, but it wasn't a favorite. Won't repurchase this one.
Jan Thomas Studio Skincare Beauty Boost Day Cream. Liked this day cream quite a bit, it is lightweight and gave my skin a good amount of hydration. I'll might buy this again.
Korres Olive Creamy Exfoliating Scrub. I really liked this scrub, a good amount of grains, but unfortunately I can't stand the scent of this, so I will not repurchase.
Jan Thomas Studio Skincare Up and Away Facial Wipes. These wipes did a really good job with removing my makeup, and since they're unscented they didn't sting my eyes or irritate my skin in any way, would probably repurchase.
Ole Henriksen Firm Action Mask. This used to be one of my all time favorite clay masks. It has this mousse like texture that glides so easily on the skin without drying it out, and it smells so good. The only downside is that Ole Henriksen discontinued this so I can't get it anymore..
Cosrx Holy Moly Snail Mask. This one I wrote a full review on, so I'll link it here.

My empty body/hair products:

Korres Coconut Milk Bodymilk. My favorite body lotion, of course! You know I love Korres body products. This is so lightweight and absorbs really quickly, and it gives me just the right amount of moisture. Will always buy the Korres bodymilks.
Korres Verbena Showergel. The only shower gels I use. Use one up every month, I just switch up the scents.
Korres Olive Blossom Body Scrub. This scrub I use when I want my skin to be soft and smooth, it doesn't have that much grain in it, so I don't use it when I'm getting of my tan or anything, but still love it. Would repurchase.
Korres Intimate Area Cleanser. Must have, love it. Makes me feel so fresh and clean.
Batiste Original Dry Shampoo. Will always love these, can't be without them, I use it several times a week.
Sachajuan Hair Repair. Not a favorite, this one I used up just to use it up. Didn't like the scent, and I didn't think that the product did enough for me. Would not buy again.
L'oreal Le Flash Manicure Remover. I like these instant nail polish removers, but the only problem is that I use mostly black nail polish so the sponge get so dirty and then stain my fingers. Would probably not repurchase.

My empty makeup products:

Artdeco Mineral Powder Foundation. Really enjoy this for the days when I don't want a full face of makeup or when my skin is acting up. When I use it with a flattop kabuki brush it actually gives a medium to full coverage. Will repurchase.
Maybelline Total Temptation Mascara. This mascara I must say I really enjoyed, it gave me a good amount of volume and length without being to clumpy. The only problem I had with this is that it is so hard to get of your lid if you spill any. Would maybe repurchase.
NYX Micro Brow Pencil. My holy grail brow pencil, works so well. Just the right texture that fills in my brows so beautifully without looking too unnatural.
Rimmel Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder. Can't be without this, use it every day. The cheapest and best powder to keep my skin matte all dat.
Max Factor Healthy Skin Harmony Foundation. This is my go-to foundation for my everyday look, and this is the second bottle I've used up. It works so well with my skin, gives me a natural glow without getting oily, and it stays put all day.
Make Up For Ever Step 1 Skin Equalizer Mattifying Primer. My all-time favorite primer for my oily T-sone. It is the only primer I've found that controls my oils all day and keeps my makeup in place. I of course had already bought a backup of this.
Artdeco High Definition Volume Mascara. Really enjoyed this mascara, as I do with all the Artdeco mascaras. It gave me a lot of volume and length, it also separated my lashes and held up all day.
Jan Thomas Studio Cosmetics Bronzing Powder. This bronzer is my go-to, I know that it will always work. It has the perfect color for my skin tone and it blends so well with my other products.
Depend Slim&Thin Eyebrow Pencil. This is really similar to the NYX Micro Brow Pencil, so I did enjoy this as well, would buy again.
Beauty Blender Cleanser Solid. This is a very well known product for washing your beauty blender and makeup brushes. Of course I think it works very well, but I think its a little bit expensive for what it is. I could just use a regular bar soap and get the same results. Probably won't buy again.

Decluttering expired products from my collection

April 03, 2018

A couple of weeks ago I watch one of Beauty News's videos on YouTube, and in the video they checked how old some of their oldest makeup. They did this by entering the batch code of the particular product in a search bar on either checkfresh.com or checkcosmetics.net, or they used this app called Beauty Keeper.

When I watched the video I started thinking about how old some of the makeup in my collection must be, so I decided to go trough my products. I knew before I started that I had some old products that I don't use anymore, but I didn't think that there would be so many, and the worst of it is that some of these went bad several years ago.

The first category I started with, where I knew that I had some old products, was foundations and BB/CC creams.

The first product I knew had to be expired was the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation. This was one of the first foundations I ever bought, and it was before I started using full coverage makeup, so I knew that it was expired just by thinking about how long it is since I opened it. But I seriously wasn't prepared for what the app was going to say: the foundation was made in 2010! Which means that the foundation expired already back in 2013. I almost fell of my chair when I saw this, I couldn't believe I've had it for that long.

The next product I knew was old in my collection was the L'Oreal True Match, firstly because it's in the old packaging, and secondly because it's in the lightest color, which means that I haven't been using this since I began using self tanner. So when I entered the batch code in the Beauty Keeper app I was surprised that it wasn't as old as I thought, but still it was made in 2015, and it has a life span of 36 months, which means that it is expired even if I hadn't opened it, but I probably opened it the same year that it was made, so it most definitely is expired either way.

The Revlon Colorstay Foundation I couldn't find on any of the websites or the app, when I punched in what I think was the batch code I got as an response that it was made only a few weeks ago, and I can promise you that it wasn't. This one I've probably had for almost 4 years, and it's been open almost all that time, so this one is about time to throw in the trash.

The Ole Henriksen CC Creme I couldn't find on any of the sites either, but when I started looking at this, I realized that it has a date stamp, and it said that it expired in January 2016. So it's definitely about time to part with this. It never was my favorite anyway so I don't really mind throwing this out.

A few years ago when I really started getting in to makeup, my mom was obsessed with Oriflame, and their products. So when I started to show some interest in makeup my mom ordered me all kinds of stuff, and now when I went through my collection I realized that I still had some of the Oriflame products. I knew these had to be old because my mom stopped buying Oriflame products over two years ago.

The first one of the Oriflame products I found was the Matte Velvet foundation, and I believe this was one of the first makeup prroducts I ever got. It is even in the lightest shade so it is from before I started using self tan. When I checked the batch code on the Beauty Keeper app my chin fell to my knees, it expired in 2013!! I know I haven't used it in a few years, but I know I've used it after 2013. I was so disgusted when I realized how old it was, so obviously it went straight in the bin!

The next product I found from Oriflame was the CC Cream, but this one I knew had to be a little bit newer since it wouldn't have matched me before I started self tanning. But I was almost as shocked when I checked the life time of this one, it expired back in 2014.. I can't believe I've hold on to these for that long! And the worst of it all is that I think I actually used this last summer..

The last product from Oriflame that I found in my collection was this old Cucumber face mist, and I couldn't even remember that I had this, so I predicted that it would have to be quite old, and so it was. It also expired in 2014, and when I opened it up to smell it I could definitely tell that it was old, it smelled so bad! Since I didn't remember that I even had this, and since it is almost full I would assume that I didn't like it that much when I first got it, so I just shoved it to the back of one of my drawers, and there it stayed for the past four years.

I thought that when I first did this declutter I would do my whole collection, so next I moved on to concealers and primers. There were definitely some products that I totally had forgotten about and that had to be expired, and it definitely was. In my concealer drawer I first found this BareMinerals Well-Rested concealer, and if I'm not mistaken these are taken out of production so you can only imagine how old this is. I tried looking up the batch code but I couldn't find BareMinerals on any of the websites. But still, this one I bought the first time I went to the states and that was in 2014, so I know for a fact that this is definitely expired.

In my concealer drawer I also found another Oriflame product, this color correction wheel, or what it's called. This one I remember I got from my mom when I started to worry about my red cheeks and my dark under eye circles, and she didn't want me to begin using foundation quite yet, so she gave me this one instead. I must say, I probably looked sick using only this and nothing else. This one is actually so old that the batch code has rubbed of, so I can't check exactly how old it is, but I know for a fact that its over 5 years old.

The last concealer I found that I knew had to be quite old was this Clinique one. I remember buying this one, one of the first high end products I bought, and I asked the lady behind the counter for a full coverage under eye concealer, and I got home and tried it on, and I immediately hated it, it is so thick, and impossible to blend out, and it creases so bad! Unfortunately we can't return used makeup here in Norway, so it just stayed in my drawer for all these years, I don't think I've even touched it since that one time. This is a few years ago now, and since I'm going to get rid of it anyway I decided to throw it in this post. The concealer only expired last month, but still, bye!

When it comes to primer I don't have that many, I've either given the ones I didn't like away or I've sold them. These two I did enjoy back in the day when I used to use them, but I found other products that I enjoyed more and these were simply forgotten. The NYX eye shadow base had to be the oldes product, because I remember purchasing this when I went on vacation several years ago, I think we were in Italy or something. So when I checked the batch code my assumptions were right, this already expired back in 2015. The Make Up For Ever one wasn't quite as old, it only expired in September 2017. But I haven't used it in forever since I fell in love with the mattifying primer from Make Up For Ever instead.

The last category I decided to look in was my powder products. Powder products usually last longer that liquids and creams, but I knew I had some products in there that were quite old. The first product I found that I knew had to be almost ancient was the Priori mineral foundation powder. This one I couldn't find on any of the websites, but know it is expired a long time ago. I got this from my mom probably five years ago, after she had had it for a while, but she didn't like it so she gave it to me. I didn't use it much either because it was waaay to dark for my fair skin, so it hasn't been used since I got it, but now it's time to get rid of it, it just lays in my drawer and collects dust.

The two other powder products that without a doubt was expired was these two elf products. These products was some of the products I ordered the first time I ordered something online many, many years ago. So I had to laugh a little when I found out I still had these, and that these are some of the products that started my makeup obsession. When I checked the production date of the elf blush it was made in January 2013, which means that it expired over two years ago, and I used it probably a couple of months ago.. The eye shadow wasn't that old actually, it only expired in November 2017. But still, I hardly ever use these, and there is no reason to hold on to them, especially when they are expired.

Now that these products are out of my collection, I have room for some new goodies!

Do you have some products in your collection that you think is expired?

January & February Empties

March 19, 2018

I've seen so many people complain that January was so long and though, but for be it seriously just flew by, and the same with February. I had meant to separate my empties for January and February, but here I am in the end of February and I still haven't got my January empties up, so I guess it will be two posts in one (again).

These months I've used up a few samples that I got in my LookFantastic advent calendar, and as usual some skin care and makeup. Some of these products I've been trying to use up as well, because I've had them for so long, you see both the Batiste dry shampoo and the Ole Henriksen scrub is in the old packaging, so it was about time to use them up.

The products I've finished these months:

Lancer The Method: Polish. This one I got in my LookFantastic advent calendar. It is a face scrub with a lot of grains, and it ha this kind of minty feeling on the skin. I couldn't really decide what I thought about it, but I guess it was ok.
Maybelline FITme Concealer. This concealer is a staple in my makeup routine, I always use it either under my eyes or on blemishes. It covers so well without being to heavy.
Korres Showergel Guava. This one I've talked so much about now, that I'll just link to one of my other empties so you can read what I think about it there.
L'oreal Hydra Genius Aloe Water. This one I bought last summer, but I didn't open it until October or something. It is a nice moisturizer, it hydrates my skin without being too heavy for my oily complexion. I really enjoyed the scent of this, but after a while it became a little too much. probably won't repurchase.
NYX Micro Brow Pencil. Love this brow pencil, it is definetly on eof my favorites. It has the perfect consistency. it is not too hard or too soft. It stays put on my brows all day, and the color taupe is a perfect match for me.
Clarins Everlasting Foundation +. This foundation is one of my all time favorites, it looks so amazing on my skin! It is full coverage, without being heavy or getting cakey. It also last all day without breaking up. I absolutely love it!
L'oreal Paradise Extatic Mascara. My absolute favorite at the moment. It gives my lashes a good amount of both volume and length, without clumping.
Batiste Dry Shampoo Original. Love all of these dry shampoos, can't be without them, use dry shampoo every week, so the Batiste ones are perfect for my student budget.
Filorga Time-Filler Eye Creme. This one I also got in my LookFantastic advent calendar. It actually surprised me, I didn't think I would like it, but it was amazing. It gave my under eyes so much hydration and the texture of it was perfect. I would actually consider buying this.
Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder. What can I say about this? I use it every single day, the perfect mattifying powder. Love it!
Ciaté Wonderwand Mascara. Another sample I got in the LookFantastic advent calendar. This one I also enjoyed a lot. It actually reminded me of the L'oreal Paradise mascara, both the wand and the formula. Gave me a lot of volume and length. Would repurchase.
Ole Henriksen Walut Complexion Scrub. My all time favorite! Will always repurchase this. It is the perfect face scrub. It makes my skin feel so clean and smooth.
Ole Henriksen So Nurturing Cleansing Cloths. These makeup remover cloths I really do enjoy, they remove my makeup and doesn't make my skin feel dry or irritated. I usually use these for those days when I'm too lazy to wash of my makeup properly.
Erborian Bamboo Matte Lotion. This toner you guys, there is nothing like this! I absolutely love it, it works so well with my skin. I'll link the post where I wrote about it, if you want to read more in depth.
Lee Stafford Hair Growth Scalp Scrub. This one I kind of liked, but I didn't think that there were enough grains in it, it didn't scrub my scalp good enough I think. So I just used it up to use it up.
Balanceme Flash Cleanse Micellar Water. The last one of the products I've used up these past couple of months, this one I also got in my LookFantastic advent calendar. This is a natural micellar water, and it was alright. I didn't actually love it because I thought the smell of it was a little strong, and it stinged my eyes.

January Favorites 2018

February 04, 2018

What happened to the first month of this year?

I seriously can't believe January is already over, especially since it usually is the longest and darkest month of the year. It just went by so far, I feel like Christmas was like yesterday.

This month I've focused on getting back on routine and starting school again, so I haven't been trying too much new stuff, but I've rediscovered some old favorites that I had forgotten about. I also haven't been using that much makeup, just the basics for everyday.

My favorites this month:

Ole Henriksen Truth Serum. It's been so long since I've used this serum now, and I had totally forgotten how much I love it. I saw a change in my skin after using it for just a couple of days. My skin cleared up a lot, and my complexion became so much more bright. It is quite expensive tho, but I use so little of it, only one pump for my hole face.

Maybelline Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter. I think most of you have heard of this highlighter by now, and I must agree with every other influencer, this is amazing! And I can't believe this is so cheap, it works just like my more high end highlighters.

Dolce&Gabbana Tarot 3 L'Imperatrice EdT. This perfume I got from my parents for Christmas and I am in love! It just smells so good, it has this sensual but sweet scent, and it makes me feel so beautiful and confident.

Erborian Yuza Sorbet Night Cream. In the past I have been switching my night cream almost every time I needed a new one, but now I think I've found a favorite. This night cream is so creamy and hydrating, and I feel like it just protects and takes care of my skin during the night. Since I've been using this my skin has behaved so well, and I haven't had any dry patches.

Depend Eyebrow Pencil Slim&Thin in Taupe. Since I ran out of my NYX Micro Brow Pencil, I had this in my backup drawer so I decided to try it out, and it surprised me. It is so similar to the NYX one, and you know I love that, so of course I loved this one too.

Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Bronzer. I can't believe I haven't tried this bronzer out before! I mean I've heard so many good things about it, but I just thought like how good can a bronzer bee, but it really is amazing! It gives the skin this beautiful glow without being shimmery og glittery. The bronzer just blends so well into the skin and makes my skin look so healthy.

Empties

November & December Empties

January 24, 2018

November and December for me was so stressful this year, that I totally forgot to publish my empties. For those of you wondering I study at the university here in my hometown, and we had so many exams and assignments before Christmas, so the blog and my Instagram wasn't prioritized unfortunately.

But now I finally got time to write this post, and OMG I have so many empties. I can't believe I've used up all of these products in just two months. As usual I have most skincare empties, but this time I also have quite a bit of makeup and body care.

Products I've used up:

OGX Coconut Water Shampoo & Conditioner. This shampoo and conditioner from OGX I've used quite a few times now, and I must say I really enjoy them. The products clean my hair really good, and doesn't make it feel greasy or anything, and the best of all, they smell so good of coconut.

Korres Almond & Cherry Showergel. My all time favorite shower gel, or that goesw for all of the Korres showergels. I seriously love all of them, I haven't tried any other shower gel like these. They foam up to a perfect consistency, they go such a long way and all of them smells amazing.

Korres Chamomile Intimate Area Cleanser. Earlier I did not think there were any difference between intimate cleansers, but I promise you, there is nothing like this one! It has the most amazing smell and you just feel so fresh the entire day.

Ole Henriksen Empower Foaming Milk Cleanser. This one is unfortunately discontinued, so before I discovered the Korres Olympus Tea Foaming Cleansing Cream I used to use this cleanser as my night time cleanser, it works wonders with my combination skin. It removes all leftovers of my makeup, and cleanses really good while giving my skin some extra moisture.

Korres Olympus Tea Foaming Cleansing Cream. This cleanser I use every night after I've removed my makeup, it's so thick and creamy when you apply it, and then when you swirl it around your face it foams up and deep cleanses. After you've washed it of your face feels so smooth and clean, withut feeling dry at all.

Nip+Fab Dragons Blood Fix Plumping Serum. My absolute favorite serum of all time. This is my third bottle of this that I've finishes. I simply love this serum, it gives so much hydration to the skin without making it oily.

Sensilis Ritual Care Micellar Cleansing Water. This one I got in a goodiebag at an event that i attended in october. I must say it's a good micellar water, it gets of the makeup without making my skin feel greasy.

Korres Lemon & Basil Showergel in travelsize. Still feel the same about these, even need them when I'm out traveling.

Ole Henriksen Counter Balance Oil Control Hydrator. This one I purchased in a set with the other two Ole Henriksen products, when it launced here in Norway this fall. The cream is very light in texture, but still very nice, gived moisture without making me oily. And in addition my makeup went so smoothly over this!

Ole Henriksen Find Your Balance Oil Control Cleanser. This cleanser also came in that set, and when i tried this travel size I immediatly went out and bought the full size. This cleanser deep cleanses my skin without stripping it of moisture or leaving it greasy.

Ole Henriksen Balancing Force Oil Control Toner. Even tho I have oily skin this toner became a little to harsh on my skin. It kind of dried it out a little, and my skin felt tight when I used this.

St. Moriz Professional Tanning Mousse Medium. This is one of the first self tanners I ever tried, and for a beginner it is really nice. gives a nice color, and is easy to apply. It unfortunately doesn't last that long, but then again it is really cheap for a self tanner.

Korres Olive Bergamot Showergel. Well, you see it's a favorite. This one had a really fresh scent, withot beeing to strong.

Dove GoFresh Deodorant. This is my all time favorite deodorant, it it seriously the only deodorant that works for me. It smells so fresh all day, I would recommend this to everyone.

Korres Bergamot Pear Body Milk. It's the same with this as with the Korres showergels, it's the only one I use. This body milk is so lightweight, but it still gives so much hydration to the skin.

Ole Henriksen Aloe Vera Deep Cleanser. This cleanser is the old version of the green Ole Henriksen cleanser, and this is one of the products that turned me on to Ole Henriksen products. This cleanser saved my skin when I first tried it out, it cleanse my skin so deeply without drying out the skin.

Sensilis Ritual Care Pore Reducer Purifying Toner. This toner I've used a lot during the last couple of years. It is good for my oily skin, but after I found the Erborian one I don't think this is as good anymore.

Artdeco Angel Eyes Mascara. Artdeco really knows how to make mascaras, and this is no exception. This separates my lashes and gives them so much length. Nt so much volume, but when I used this I used it with the Artdeco All In One Panoramic mascara.

Maybelline FitMe Concealer. One of the best concealers from Maybelline. It covers really good, but for my under-eyes it can be a little bit heavy, so I mostly use it on spots.

Max Factor Healthy Skin Harmony Foundation. This is my go-to everyday foundation. It works so well with my skin, it just gives me this natural glow without getting oily, and it stays put all day.

Urban Decay Naken Skin Concealer. This concealer is the perfect lightweight concealer for my everyday makeup. It covers everything I want to cover without being to heavy.

Jan Thomas Studio Cosmetics Eye Brow Gel. This is amazing, just like the Anastasia Beverly Hills one, only much cheaper. It keeps my brows in place all day, without making them feeling stiff and weird.

Loreal Paradise Extatic Mascara. This mascara is definitely my favorite at the moment. It gives my lashes a lot of both volume and length, without clumping. I always have a backup of this.

Loreal Infallible Mattifying Foundation. This foundation I've used quite a bit in the past, but recently I've felt like it have been a little too matte and dry for my skin. So I don't think I'll be buying this again in the nearest future, maybe in the summertime when my skin gets more oily.

Artdeco All In One Panoramic Mascara. This mascara was quite nice, it gave me a little bit of everything, hence the name. But still I didn't think it gave me enough volume and length. Still used it up tho.

Maybelline Brow Precise Micro Pencil. This brow pencil I only used to use it up. I wasn't the biggest fan, the formula is way to soft, and the pencil tip break of all the time, so annoying.

Max Factor Brow Shaper. This brow pencil actually surprised me. It was really good! The formula was perfect, and the colors of these were beautiful. I would definitely repurchase.

Nyx Micro Brow Pencil. This is definitely one of my favorite brow pencils, it has the perfect consistency, not too hard or too soft. It last for a long time, and the color taupe is the perfect match for me.

Elf Pressed Powder. This powder isn't really empty, but I've just had it for so long without using it that it was time to throw it out.

Rimmel Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder. My all time favorite powder, high end and drugstore. I simply can't live without this. It is the only powder that keeps my oily skin matte all day, and in addition it is so cheap. Love it.

Sensilis Glacier Essence Deep Hydrating Cream. This one I've used as a night cream for the last month, and I must say it was really good for that. It was this thick and creamy formula that left my skin hydrated and plumped.

Lush Mint Julips Lip Scrub. The Lush lip scrubs are definitely my favorites, they scub my lips so well without leaving my lips feeling dry, and they peel away all the dead skin.

The Body Shop Satsuma Hand Cream. These hand-creams I use to have in my handbag, so I don't use them up that quick. But I love them, they give the perfect amount of moisture and dry quickly.

Pandas Dream Eye Stick. This eye stick I used under my regular eye cream for a while, but I can't say that I saw that big of a difference in my under-eyes, but it felt real nice to apply, since it had this cooling sensation. Probably won't repurchase this tho, since it didn't do that much.

EOS Lip Balm Strawberry Sorbet. I can't believe I actually finished a whole lip balm without loosing it first. This lip balm is alright, it is a little thick in consistency, so I feel like it moisturizes for a long time.

Ole Henriksen Fresh Start Eye Creme. This eye cream has been a staple in my skincare routine for years. It is so creamy and moisturizing, and perfect to use under makeup.
