September 2012 Empties

Hi everyone. This is kinda late (along with my Haul post). I've been super busy lately with school and work. These are the items that I've used up in the month of September.

 

 

MAC False Lash Mascara

 

This was my first MAC mascara. Although mascara should only be used for 3-4 months, I've had this tube since February. I usually use my own judgment on whether or not I should throw a product out or not. This created nice dark and full lashes, which I love. I would recommend this mascara.

 

 

L'oreal Hydra-Renewal Moisturizer

 

This was a nice moisturizer. Usually I will switch between L'oreal and Olay moisturizers. I enjoyed this moisturizer. This is the second tub of this that I've bought lately. I would recommend this for anyone who doesn't mind using moisturizer out of a tub.

 

 

MAC Oil Control Lotion

 

This product lasted me over a year. This was one of my very first MAC purchases. I think that this is a great item for people that have a tendency to get oily skin. I used this all year round and I feel like this helped keep my t-zone less oily (not completely matte however). I think this works as a good base for your foundtion. My foundation went on perfectly over this. For $30 this is worth it since I used it almost everyday for over a year. I would recommend this for anyone that has oily or oily-combination skin.

 

Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes

 

I've boughten this twice now, so I must love it! I think that this is a great product for people that have sensitive skin. I wasn't able to use other products like this because they irritated my skin. This smells good too. It's not overly "cucumber" so it won't bother anyone with a sensitive nose. I would recommend this for anyone looking for makeup remover wipes. Love them.

September 2012 Haul

Hi everyone. Sorry for the delay of this. I've been super busy. The pictures aren't the best since I took them with my camera phone and at almost 10 pm at night.

 

 

MAC Haute and Naughty Too Black Mascara

 

I've been able to try this out for a few weeks since it's been a little while since I bought it. It's a little weird at first. This actually has two brushes, one pulls out of the other. The first one (the smaller knob) is a smaller and produces a more natural look. The second one (the sparkly knob) is larger and fuller. This produces a more fuller and darker look. I usually use the smaller wand for my lower lashes and the larger wand for my upper lashes.

 

Here's a picture of me that I posted on instagram a while ago wearing this mascara. I used the larger wand for both my upper and lower lashes in this picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes

 

This is the second package I've bought since trying this makeup remover wipes. These are amazing! They smell great and they don't irritate my skin. I recommend these for those with sensitive skin and can't use other makeup remover wipes from other companies.

 

 

Simple Eye Make-up Remover & Swisspers Cotton Rounds

 

The cotton rounds are great for removing makeup. I prefer these over cotton balls. These are pretty basic. The Simple makep remover is nice, not my favorite however. I haven't found my "holy grail" eye makeup remover yet. These irritate my eyes sometimes by making my eye sight fuzzy.

 

 

 

I'll be posting my October 2012 Haul soon. I've bought some interesting things this month so far. :)
