Products I've Used Up/Empties #1

Caudalie Grape Water: This is definetly like a thermal water but way more hydrating and softening on the skin. I used it to set my makeup, refresh my face or as a toner. It's also on the cheaper side and smells like freshly picked grapes! I would repurchase, definetly.

Soap And Glory The Righteous Body Butter: This was my third tub of this stuff, it's one of the best winter body moisturisers out there. It smells of the classic Soap And Glory scent, it's thick, creamy and rich, super moisturising for parched skin!

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo: This was my saviour when my skin got really prone to breakouts a couple of months ago, it literally cleared all of my imperfections. After a while though, it seems like my skin got ''immune'' to it, it didn't really do much after a while, weird. I'm still not sure if I would repourchase. For those of you that struggle with acne, I would highly recommend it.

Nuxe Rêve De Miel Lip Balm: This is the best lip balm I have ever tried! It's really heavy on the lips, so I suggest to use it as an overnight lip moisturiser. It's nice for daytime aswell if you don't want to wear lipstick since it has a matte finish, a nice twist for a lip balm! I would repurchase, hands down.

Korres Lip Butter in Jasmine: I love love love the Korres Lip Butters, they are such versatile products. I used this on lazy makeup days as a lipgloss/lipbalm, over the top of lipstick or as a plain lip moisturiser. It gives your lips a faint baby pink color and keeps them smooth for a pretty long time aswell.

Skin79 VIP Gold BB Cream: This was my go-to foundation for a long time! It melts onto the skin and leaves skin soft and dewy and covers what it needs to cover. Definetly a must-have for me!

Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch in Radiant: This is as good as the Bobbi Brown correctors, it works the same way as it cancels out any darkness under the eyes. The texture is amazing, it doesn't crease and looks flawless. For even more coverage I liked to apply another lightweight concealer on top, no undereye circles in sight!

Benefit Stay Don't Stray Eyeshadow Primer: I struggle with a lot of eyelid discoloration, they are almost transparent! This helps to disguise all of that, it has an opaque flesh tone color. I wouldn't say this is the best eyeshadow primer, I like the Urban Decay primer in Eden a lot better, so I think I wouldn't repurchase. It's still worth it though, it's a decent primer and the bottle lasted me for months and months!

The Edit: Current Makeup Bag Favorites

MAC Myth, Revlon Mischievious, Benefit Watt's Up, Dior Nude Paradise bronzer and blush.

As a fellow makeup addict, my makeup bag switches up on a weekly basis, that way I don't waste or put aside any makeup products. I suggest you to do the same, especially if you are like me and have an excessive amount of beauty products! Today, I am sharing with you products I've been obsessing about lately.

Lately, I've been enjoying lightweight foundations, Revlon Nearly Naked is one of those that fulfills all my needs. Concealer wise, I've been loving the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer, it brightens my undereye area, doesn't cake up even when my eyes are dry and most importantly, doesn't crease at all. To set my foundation and concealer, my Hourglass Ambient Lightning Powder in Diffused Light haven't been put down for the last couple of months, this powder is simply perfection. 

To add some color back into my face, I've rediscovered my beautiful Dior Nude Tan Paradise in 001, one of my last year lovely birthday present from my boyfriend. This looks wonderful on my pale winter skin, especially the bronzer! For my highlighter, I switched up my holy grail Benefit High Beam, for a more golden glow alternative, Benefit Watt's Up.

On my eyes, of course, the Urban Decay Naked 3 has been my only lover recently. I've been also relying on the L'Oréal Lacquer Liner for a long lasting cateye and the L'Oréal Voluminous False Fiber Lashes for full fluttery lashes. A fairly recent addition to my makeup routine is the Anastasia DipBrow Pomade in Chocolate, the perfect product for flawless eyebrows!

On my lips, I've been obsessed with nudes or flashy oranges. Combining both is a nice combo aswell, I just apply MAC Myth all over my lips and apply the Revlon Matte Balm in Mischievious on the outer corners for a gorgeous ombré effect.  

The Review: Anastasia DipBrow Pomade

For a couple of years now, I have tried every way possible to get perfect eyebrows, and let me tell you, it's a never ending quest. Anastasia Beverly Hills recently came out with the most intriguing product, brow obsessed as I am, I just had to give it a try. I was hesitating shade wise and decided to pick up Chocolate, a dark warm brown and it's the perfect color match for me! This is supposed to be kind of like a waterproof gel eyeliner but for your brows, it makes defining them so much easier and quicker. I remember the first time I tried it, I used way too much and my eyebrows looked like I used a Sharpie pen on them, horrible! What I do is I just dip my angled brush once in the pot, put some on my hands and use small amounts at the time. I promise you'll need only one dip for both brows! It's a bit tricky to get right but once you do, you will be left with natural, amazing looking arches! I really like the fact that this product stays put no matter what, even if I accidentally rub my face, it will not budge. It also isn't expensive(24$CAD)considering you only need a tiny amount and you get 4 grams of product which is almost double the size of a regular gel eyeliner. You can also use this as an eyeliner if you want to. The only downside is the shade range, it's not very wide but last time I went to Sephora they told me they'll come up with 3 more shades next fall I believe. Overall, the Anastasia DipBrow is probably one of the best eyebrow product available right now, go get some!
