Call it the pregnant nester within me but I just can't help organising all my beauty bits at the moment so it was inevitable that an empties post would find its way onto ze blog - goodbye redundant products, see you later empty packaging. I'm sure you all know the drill by now but if you don't an empties post is where I tell you my true feelings on all the products I've recently finished.
Pai Perfect Balance Blemish Serum - This lightweight serum is perfection for those with unruly, blemish prone skin that also experience product sensitivity - I love how gentle all Pai products are. On application this serum quickly disappears into the skin providing the ideal base for moisturisation. While I loved using the Balance Blemish Serum I haven't repurchased, simply because my skin is no longer so spot prone although I definitely think this serum played a starring role in clearing it up.
Aesop Chamomile Concentrate Anti-Blemish Masque - As a huge fan of the Parsley Seed mask (read about it here) I decided to pick up the Chamomile Concentrate as I heard it was a souped up, intense version of the aforementioned yet even as I type I'm sat on the fence. While you see instant, fresh skin results with the Parsley Seed mask I find the Chamomile Concentrate is a slow burner (not literally, don't panic). I used this in areas where I had blemishes and found my skin looked clearer maybe one or two days after application so while the results are there it's certainly not one to pull out before a big event. At £33 it isn't the most purse friendly of masks and even though it has lasted a whole year I don't think I'll be picking it up again.
Pai Geranium & Thistle Rebalancing Day Cream - Finding the perfect day cream used to be a continuous battle (dramatic pause) until now. I've tried many a pricier moisturiser but I'm yet to find one that gives just the right level of hydration to my normal to combination skin like this baby does. The tiniest amount goes a long way and I love how this is not only a great base for make-up but leaves my skin feeling plump and hydrated without being the tiniest bit oily. A forever repurchase.
Soap & Glory Archery Brow Pencil - And the award for brow game changer goes to...Funnily enough I've heard mixed reviews on this brow pencil but here's my two cents, I cannot get enough. The shade Blondeshell is a great match for my blondie-brown brows (try and say that quickly) and I love how you can create a naturally enhanced look or go all out an attempt a Cara. I've tried quite a few brow pencils from the likes of Space NK and must say this beats them hands down. The only downside? There's just two shades available. Fingers crossed you're one of them.
Soap & Glory Solar Powder and One Heck Of A Blot - Things are getting pretty Soap and Glory centric around here so I'll try and keep this short and to the point. If you're in the market for a new, natural looking bronzer (scowls at Nars Laguna with my fair skin) or a sheer powder that takes that hint of unsightly shine away then look no further than these two compacts. Not only are these amazing for the price (£11 and £12 respectively) but they really do work. As a blogger I should really branch out and try a different setting powder but when I find something I like, I stick with it.
Bourjois 1, 2, 3 Perfect CC Cream - When Lisa Eldridge raves about a high-street base you run out and add one to your stash. It's rare I find a inexpensive base that floats my boat but Bourjois have got it going on with this natural yet covering base. Take the whole BB, CC thing out of the equation and this product is that tinted moisturiser you've been searching for that actually provides coverage and stays around all day. If you're a foundation gal to the very end but fancy something lighter for Summer then I highly recommend this travel friendly packaged CC cream, you won't regret it. Read my full ode to this ace base here.
