Empties - December 2016

Hello Beauties <3

Happy New Year!! It has been a few months since I posted an Empties blog. You would think there would be tons of products over the last few months,but I really didn't finish a whole lot.

 

Too Faced Born This Way Foundation - I use the shade Sand, however I feel it is a little too dark for me during the winter months. I have 2 more bottles but I may switch to a lighter shade.

Marc Jacobs Genius Gel Foundation - I had some samples in the shade Bisque Medium and since I was looking for a lighter shade, I thought I'd give it a try. It is not a full coverage foundation so I think this will be perfect for the summer months. 

Diorskin Nude Air in Medium Beige - I found this foundation to be a bit watery when I opened the sample but as I read the description it is a foundation serum so it made sense. I like the light weight fell it had on my skin and it had a pretty fragrance smell which you don't find in many foundations.

Too Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer - My favorite thing about this primer is the coconut smell. I also like the fact that it is hydrating and smoothing and creates a nice canvas to apply your favorite foundation.

Caudalie Micellar Water - A soap-free micellar water that attracts and traps dirt, oil, and makeup to gently remove impurities and cleanse your complexion without drying out the skin. This micellar water uses molecules like magnets to lift dirt, oil, and makeup from the face and eyes, as it soothes, moisturizes, and softens skin. There’s no need to rub for a thorough cleanse, just a quick swipe and makeup easily clings to the formula. Enjoy the refreshing feeling on skin and the uplifting fragrance from orange and lemon blossom, watermelon, and mint leaves.

Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Pressed Setting Powder - As I mentioned in my last Empties post, I only used loose powder to set my makeup. That was until this pressed powder came into my life. It minimizes the appearance of pores leaving my skin with a soft focus matte finish. My foundation lasts all day without the need for a touch up.

Kat Von D Unlock It Makeup Remover Wipes - A pack of powerful yet gentle, oil-free makeup remover wipes that effectively eliminate long-wear, high-pigment makeup. Bold formulas begone - this pack of 30 wipes effortlessly unlocks makeup for a clean, refreshed complexion so skin is left ready for your next artistic adventure. The gentle texture is safe for use on face, eyes, and lips, and the smooth fibers promise not to irritate even the most sensitive skin. The antibacterial formula absorbs all moisture, eliminating potential for build-up. Fragrance-free and bio-degradable, this pack makes for a great travel companion.

Sephora Collection Natural Citrus Brush Cleaner - This light citrus fragance liquid brush cleaner gently cleans both natural and synthetic brushes and is great for spot treatments. 

Too Cool For School Egg Mellow Cream - This firming moisturizer works as a serum, priming moisturizer, eye cream, neck cream, and sleeping mask in one. It's highly enriched with egg yolk extract, albumen (egg white) extract, and inka omega oil to provide intensive nourishment to skin. It is also infused with collegen fiber to support the appearance of more elastic skin.

Fresh Umbrian Clay Purifying Facial Toner - This toner helps to clear skin of impurities while absorbing excess sebum for a smooth, healthy appearance. Formulated with Fresh's proprietary mineral-rich Umbrian clay, as well as cinnamon bark, burnet root, and lavender floral water, the refreshing liquid formula balances and clarifies the complexion without stripping skin of essential moisture.

Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Face Serum - An intense, fast-absorbing serum infused with nature's wonder flower that retains nonstop 24-hour moisture, giving skin a petal-soft finish.

Fresh Rose Hydrating Eye Gel Cream - A luxurious gel-cream that provides continuous moisture while illuminating and soothing tired-looking eyes. This rich eye gel-cream cream with protective golden root offers a burst of deep hydration to provide continuous moisture. The cooling gel absorbs quickly to illuminate tired-looking eyes. Rosewater helps soothe, rose oil helps nourish, and golden root extract offers antioxidant protection. Additionally, bambara groundnut extract helps to hydrate, hyaluronic acid helps attract and maintain moisture, and cucumber extract helps to calm and cool the skin.

Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Face Cream - A lightweight gel-cream infused with soothing rosewater and nourishing rose flower oil that delivers intense 24-hour moisture for petal-soft skin.

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Rose - Celebrate with Viva la Juicy Rosé, a light-hearted toast to the forever vibrant Viva girl. This effervescent fragrance pops with fizzy citrus perfection and sparkles in a dew of jasmine and honey-like pink blossoms for a dreamy scent that is kissed by the glow of sensual amber.

The scent opens with the fresh fruity notes of Italian mandarin and William pear intertwining with soft, dewy jasmine petals. At the heart, rose centifolia blooms into a honey-like floralcy next to white peony and jasmine sambac. Accented with decadent ambrox, sensual orris absolu, and warm benzoin, the fragrance leaves the Viva Rosé girl with an air of mischievous sophistication.

Notes:
Italian Mandarin, William Pear, Jasmine Petals, Rose Centifolia Absolute, White Peony, Jasmine Sambac, Orris Absolute, Benzoin, Ambrox.
Style:
Sparkling. Charming. Exuberant.
