#1 Empties (makeup)

Hi guys

Today I’m going to show you my makeup empties. I have 5 product and my thoughts and experiences to share so let’s go!

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream  (light)

Jpeg
Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream

It comes in a squeeze 30 ml tube with a 12 month PAO (period after opening). The BB cream has SPF 30, it comes in 5 shades.

The 1-step wonder for a good skin day, everyday.
Packed with 8 great skin benefits for instant skin perfection
Ideal for Normal Skin.

This is my second bottle, I buy it in the summer months because it’s very light in texture, the coverage is light and I hate the feeling of a heavy foundation in the summer. My only problem with this product is shade matching. The shades just don’t look good on my olive but light skin tone so I’m not going to repurchase. It’s perfect for natural looking makeup and I love the fact that it has SPF 30. I would say it’s best for normal skin, it looks good on my combo skin but just for a few hours and then it starts to get oily and fade unevenly .

 

Wet n Wild Coverall liquid concealer wand (light)

Jpeg
Wet n Wild Coverall liquid concealer wand

7.15 ml (0.24 fl.oz) of product in a simple packaging,18 months PAO4 shades available.

Under the covers! For those heavy-duty imperfections, we bring out the magic wand! Apply and blend this creamy formula with and watch as imperfections vanish before your eyes!

This is one of the worst concealers I have ever tried. The texture is really watery with no coverage. This shade was too pink on me, it didn’t cover anything. I can’t use it under my eyes because it doesn’t cover my dark circles and I can’t use it on my face because it does nothing in terms of covering acne or left over pigmentation. Save your money and buy something else.

Real Tehniques Miracle Complexion Sponge 

Jpeg
RT Miracle Complexion Sponge

This is my favorite tool to apply foundation except maybe the Makeup Revolution foundation brush that came in a set. Amazing quality, very easy to use and clean. I clean it with a regular bar soap and it works just fine. The sponge is affordable and it’s well made (it doesn’t fall apart in a few months). This one lasted for a long time, on the RT site it said to replace it every 1-3 months but I keep mine for approx 6 months. As soon as I threw this one away I bought 2 more. Great affordable tool!

This versatile beauty tool was designed with a revolutionary foam technology to evenly blend makeup for a smooth, enhanced finish. Use damp for a dewy glow or dry for a full coverage.

Manhattan Dip Eyeliner Waterproof (black)

Jpeg
Manhattan Dip Eyeliner

 

Manhattan Dip Eyeliner is a  hard “sponge” tip eyeliner. This was my second one, it performs well but it’s not the best eyeliner ever. The staying power is average (it will get you trough the day), it is waterproof but I have oily eyelids so every eyeliner ends up smudging on me. I won’t repurchase because I want to try something else. If you have a drugstore favorite let me know (it has to be waterproof).  This eyeliner comes in 3 more shades.

New-formula perfection, extremely long-lasting, gives perfect coverage and is absolutely waterproof, special applicator ensures easy, precise application, easy to remove with eye make-up remover.

Essence Long Lasting Lipstick (natural beauty)

Jpeg
Essence Long Lasting lipstick

This is an average quality lipstick with a cream finish. It lasts 2-3 hours on me without eating or drinking. The shades are pretty and the lipstick is very affordable but I like matte finish on my lips so I won’t repurchase. The texture is light and comfortable on the lips, pigmentation is good enough (I only have this one shade so I don’t know how the other shades perform). The shade Natural Beauty is a really nice every day rosy color and they have another 16 shades in the range. If you like creamy lipsticks and affordable makeup you should try them.

The lipsticks provide your lips with intensive color for several hours without drying them out. you’re sure to find whatever you’re looking for – from bright pink to intensive red and chilled-out berry to subtle nude shades. the essence logo on the texture and the matte, black packaging with a ring of color to match the actual color of the lipstick are true eye-catchers

Hope you liked my empties, tell me what you think.
