April Empties

I'm going to try to do these posts every month.  I've done one or two in the past but hopefully committing to do these sorts of monthly posts will force me to use up products that I already have instead of constantly running out to buy more.

But here it is, folks!  I actually have some empties worth mentioning this month!

1. Two bottles of Target eye makeup remover.  What can I say?  I love this stuff and it goes down by the bottle.  Last time I ran out I freaked out and bought 15 more bottles.  I should check my stash again.

2. Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Foundation in Bisque 4.  I knew I should have purchased a backup bottle.  I got this on clearance from DF&CCO for $20 since it was a line being upgraded/discontinued.  Great foundation!  Dried to a nice matte finish and was pretty longwearing.  

3. Smashbox Healthy FX Foundation in Light 3.  This one definitely needed to go.  I've had it since 2009.  It was my second bottle but it still needed to go.  I used up every last bit, and it was a very good medium coverage foundation but I'd like to explore other brands.  It made my skin look glowy and healthy while evening out my skin tone.  

4. Paul Mitchel Original Conditioner.  A very good conditioner.  It made my hard very sleek and shiny.  Only problem is.....I was allergic to it.  So I won't be purchasing again.

5. Aveeno Daily Moisturizing body wash.  I'm rather fond of Aveeno products.  This body wash wasn't life changing for me (are they ever?) but it doesn't stink or break me out so I will stick with it.

I have a handful of products that are SO close to being finished but alas I couldn't make it happen for April.  Look forward to seeing those at the end of May!

How about you guys?  Finish a lot of stuffs this month?  Please share!

April 2011 Favorites!

Oh my jesus yes I know I'm late with this. Sorry!  So I'll stop the blabber and get right to it.

1. Combination of MAC's Viva Glam Cyndi and INGLOT AMC Lip Pencil 21 is bomb.  I don't know why I stupidly covered the tip of the pencil in the picture, but it's the same color as Viva Glam Cyndi.  I love the color of the lipstick but since it's Luster, it's a bit sheer.  The combination of the two products is love.  Check out this FOTD post with these two products featured.

2. NARS Blush in Deep Throat.  A cult favorite, I know, but I can see why.  Gives just the most lovely glow to the cheeks and goes with many different kinds of looks.  It doesn't over power dramatic looks and complements simple looks.

3. NARS Multiple in Copacabana. Love this as a highlighter.  Goes from a cream to powder finish and so easy to blend.  It's my go-to highligher, but I sometimes have too much fun applying it and put on a little bit too much.  A little goes a long way so this will last me freaking forever.

4. NYC Matte Bronzer.  I've been using this for a few months now.  At first I didn't like it but that was probably because I didn't blend it out enough.  I'm reluctant to try out other bronzers for contouring because this one is so freaking cheap and works so well.  It's the first face product I've hit pan on.

5. Garnier Ultra-Lift Anti-Wrinkle Firming Eye Cream.  I did a lot of crying through March and April.  That combined with removing makeup stripped the moisture from the skin around my eyes to the point where it was kinda flakey.  I grabbed this eye cream because it was the cheapest one.  Applying it daily helped restore the moisture.  The best part is, it doesn't make my eyes all puffy like other eye creams I've tried, so I'm quite pleased.

Okay, that's all for now.  Have a fabulous day everyone!

Lotsa love,
Janny
