Makeup Empties

Urban Decay Lush Lash System $50 CDN
I was really hesitant when buying this product as you can imagine, it's quite pricey and for such a little tube I thought it would be like any other lash growth serum but I was wrong. I tried this on for about a week and using the serum side on my lashes and the white coat on my eyebrows, I seen a dramatic change in my eyebrows. They looked more fuller and thicker and that was surprising to me because it usually takes me a really long time to grow out my eyebrows when I want to get them done or anything like that. I really enjoy using this product regardless but the only downfall is how fast this product finishes up. 

Smashbox Photo Set Finishing Powder $32 CDN
This product was really good to me during summer or days where I'm really oily. My skin type is usually oily-combination skin and no matter what powder I use, I always end up having to touch up a lot throughout the day. With this powder, I probably only touch up my face once or twice and it will keep me matte until I start blotting my face. Translucent powders in general work really well for me and trying this one out was pretty worth it. And for the price, it lasted me a really long time!

Soap & Glory Fab Pore Facial Peel $24 CDN
I have tried many soap & glory products and they never seem to disappoint. This particular product though stood out from the rest because I had amazing results after using this and a lot of people even complimented me and asked me why was my face so clear and why I didn't have any enlarged pores. The only product I was even using at the time was the fab pore. You leave this mask on for about 15min, rinse it off and you'll have soft beautiful skin. It takes awhile, but after a couple uses you'll see a difference in your skin. 

Dermalogica Daily Microexfoliant 
I got this as a sample awhile back in my Luxe box and I never started using it until recently. This product had a really nice scent to it and the coolest thing is that when you pour the fine powder onto your hand and add a little water, it becomes an exfoliating powder that instantly makes your face brighter and softer. I've yet to find this in store, but apparently it's pretty pricey. Regardless of the price, this is one of the many products that has worked wonders on my face and has really made a difference. 

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash $10 CDN
I only picked this up because I've tried the green one which is an acne redness soothing face wash, and since it's sort of the same line except this one smells like pink grapefruit, I was really excited to try this out. Sadly I was really disappointed. I loved the scent but this product was supposed to be a scrub and I felt like it didn't lather or do anything for that matter. It was a waste of money and I hated it so much I just ended up using it to clean my make up brushes whenever I ran out of my brush shampoo. 

Inebrya Ice Cream Colour Shampoo $13 CDN
This was a product I picked up because I thought I would test it out after using the hair dye from this line as well. It has a really nice vanilla scent and lathers really well. I enjoyed using this product a lot since it kept my hair smelling really good and it also kept my hair colour from fading. I recently just finished this whole bottle but even after using this, I looked at my roots and the colour is still there. Usually with other shampoos by now, my hair colour would've probably already faded or washed out. 

Nivea Eye Make Up Remover $7 CDN
If you're looking for a cheap make up remover that will actually take off ALL your make up, this is hands down the best drugstore make up remover ever. For the price, I think it's so worth it because not only does it remove make up but it won't burn your eyes or leave an oily residue. When I'm not using my Clinique take the day off makeup remover, this is what I always end up repurchasing because it's really affordable and does a great job.
