I was looking through my makeup drawers the other day and realised that I have quite a few products I'm now running low or empty on. I decided the best way to remind myself what I need (as well as why I loved them in the first place) was to turn it into a blog post! Call it a sort of 'empties' post if you like. Some have been empty a while now and others are on their last legs, so I really do need to repurchase asap.
L'Oreal True Match Foundation
This is my second empty bottle of this foundation. It has a light-weight formula and a light-medium coverage, although I mostly wear it medium as I always build it up. Every time I use this I forget how good it is, I seriously underrate it. It looks so natural and poreless on my skin, it doesn't highlight any problem areas and blends so effortlessly. I would usually only wear this on lazy days around the house or when my days aren't going to be that long, as the wear time isn't amazing on me, I wouldn't wear it for work or anything. It's just a great quick-fix foundation to make your skin look really bright and healthy.
Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer
I've been clinging on to the last little scrapings of this for a couple of months now. I have it in the lightest shade and it's unbelievably brightening on the under eyes, with a weightless feel and a good medium coverage too. The formula to me feels fairly mattifying as it dries quickly, but it lasts all day long. I find it doesnt work too well on dry skin, but has always worked amazingly on my under eyes.
Soap & Glory Solar Powder Bronzer
Since running out of this bronzer months ago, I've been trying lots of different drugstore ones to try and get a similar match. I've not found any to be like it yet, and I keep meaning to pick up another. It's got 2 shades in the pan, both of which are cool-toned but one slightly more bronze. Both shades are matte so can also be used together to create a shade in between. I always steer towards the lighter shade on my pale days and the darker one on my tanned days - it always worked so well which ever my current skin tone was.
NYX Tame & Frame Tinted Brow Pomade
Another pot totally rinsed, I always go through phases of liking and not liking this. I think I've been through about 3 so far but will use it on and off. This time I've stuck to just this from start to finish and I've been really liking it. The way I use it is by using an angled brush and wiping some onto a wet wipe to get the excess off the brush. I find the damp brush gives a more sleeker, sharp finish and not having loads of product on it makes it apply more naturally. About 90% of the time this works and other times it goes terrible and I have to wipe off and start again, that's the only problem with pomades!
Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick Nude Collection
I don't often use a lipstick until it's entirely gone but this is right at the bottom now. I do love a nude lip and the shades in this range are all so nice. I think there are 5(?) altogether and this one is in shade 42 which is a light, pinkish nude but next time I'm going to go for a deeper shade, such as 45. I love how creamy Rimmel lipsticks are, they are so comfortable to wear when my lips are feeling a little too dry for liquid lipsticks.
Barry M Molten Metal Nail Paint in 'Copper Mine'
The same goes for nails in that I hardly ever go through a full bottle, but I've been using this so much since I discovered it last Autumn. It's the perfect Autumn shade but also looks good all year round. It looks quite orange in the bottle but it actually comes off more subtle and rose gold-like, with a shimmery metallic finish. I definitely need to restock for this season!
