Product Empties

Welcome back!

I've been thinking of what I can bring to my blog lately that is a little bit different. I always see Empties videos on YouTube but never thought I could write a blog post on mine because I don't use many products and I can never seem to finish them close to another to be able to gather them together. Today, I have some products that seem to have finished all around the same time.



This is probably my favorite drug store foundation.. ever. It's the L'Oreal True Match Lumi Foundation. Don't be fooled by the look of my used foundation. This baby is EMPTY. I've even tried to open it and scoop some out. Unsuccessful on that, I decided I'd feature it on my Product Empties post. It's definitely something I will always repurchase. It's a great medium to full coverage drugstore foundation.



I know you've seen me talk about this before so it's no surprise that I would have finished it just in time to buy another! It's the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind. I love this concealer. It covers so well and doesn't crease as much as other concealers I have. The only downfall to it would be the sponge at the top. I'm not sure if that helps or if it's just home to many bacteria that's bad for my skin. Regardless, I'll be purchasing it again. Haven't found one I've loved as much yet!



I was a bit skeptical about this product. I did receive it free in a little free bag when I went to a Bare Minerals meeting. I wasn't too crazy about it until I actually used it. It's such a great finishing powder. It's a loose powder so it does get a bit messy but it gives just the right amount of finish for a look. Doesn't leave you too matte just enough to have that dewy glow. I actually feel like this is a product I'd repurchase sometime soon.



This is one I hate to see go and it's down to the last bits that eventually I'll have to scrape to be able finish off completely. Don't mind how grubby it looks - this is the makeup real world. I'll definitely be buying this one again. It's my first ever Too Faced lipstick and it has to be my favorite lipstick in my collection. I love nude shades and this is just perfection. The combination of the color and the formula which, by the way, is moisturizing to the lips is just amazing. It's a bit on the price-ier side than other lipsticks but it's well worth it and there's no doubt I'll be buying it again.



This last one is a skin care item. It's Philosophy's When Hope Is Not Enough serum. I've never had a skin care serum before this one. They are said to help tone, firm and prevent wrinkles. I've been using it for quite a while now and I do feel like it's helped tone and firm my face. It really does help keep it moisturized that's for sure. I've put it on morning before makeup and at night before bed. In terms of repurchasing, I'll have to do some deep thinking between this one and one from Origins.




And that's it! I hope you enjoyed finding out what I've been using lately. If you have tried any of these products before, let me know how you like them. What products have you finished up for the month of August?

Thanks for reading!
Until next time,
Jay

  1. That's too funny that we have the same drugstore foundation, except in the UK it's called Loreal lumi magique. I love mine too! I'll have to try the maybelline concealer too! I love seeing product empties and I think it's a good idea for a post! Lovely post!

    1. Thanks Ashley! Isn't it funny?! Sometimes I'm like "where can I get THAT" and we end up having the same thing with a different name. :) You should totally do one. I'd love to see your empties and what you've been loving!

  3. I'm always listening when it comes to great foundation- I like L'oreal but never tried the Lumi- that might be next on my list. And I too love the Maybelling concealer!! I've been using it forever!! Love when you have those staple products! I have a sample of the Hope, was kinda scared to put it on but maybe I will now...

    1. Me too! I'm always looking for a good one and Lumi is a good one for sure. That concealer is the best. I don't think another can stand close. I would defintiely give Hope a try just to see if you like it :) Thanks for the lovely comment <3
