Empties beauty products #01

This is my first empties blog. I enjoy doing empties blog because it gives a good review of the product.

I have a mix of skincare, makeup, and perfumes.

I finished up all of these products. Enjoyed some of them. And some I would repurchase in the future. So let’s get into it.

Prada Candy Prada for women

Keynotes: white musks, benzoin, and caramel Accord.

It is a sweet fragrance I can say and I’m not a fan of sweet scents. I didn’t like the scent thou I used it all up. The fragrance didn’t last for so long when I was wearing it. Kind of disappointing, for the price I was expecting more.

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet

In shade: 32 Trop brunche

There are 20 shades available. This liquid lipstick is pigmented and long lasting. Easy to apply. The formula is creamy, it glides smoothly and the finish is matte. One coverage is enough but you need a touch up after eating. I wear it almost every day because of its lightweight.

The shade Trop brunche is a natural looking color that can be worn every day.

It comes in great packaging, in a square shaped tube that you can see inside it and the lid is the same color of the liquid lipstick. The wand has a doe foot applicator.

I love this product. I actually stocked up with this liquid lipstick.

Botanics shine away with willow bark clay mask

For oily / combination skin

Iconic clay mask ingredients: sea salt (natural Oceanic clay), aqua, Phenoxyethanol, citric acid, potassium sorbate, benzoic acid, dehydroacetic acid, Salix nigra (willow bark extract).

Package description of the product: excess sebum, together with dirt, pollution and dead skin cells can clog pores which may lead to blemishes. Oceanic minerals, with natural extract from the bark of the black willow tree, help to draw out impurities and remove excess oil leaving skin visibly clearer and smoother.

My opinion is I didn’t like or hate this clay. It didn’t do anything to my skin. I haven’t noticed any difference after using it all up. I used it once a week. I have another one because it was buying one to get one free. You have to shake it before use because it tends to be watery.

Botanics shine away with willow bark mattifying cleansing mousse

It is lightweight, doesn’t leave skin feeling dry. It does help the skin to shine free for some time. I follow it with a shine away toner.

The cleansing mousse is a great value. I recommend it for those with oily skin like me.

I would buy it again. The bottle comes with a pump packaging. I bought this mousse from boots store.

Lush cupcake fresh face mask

For oily/combination skin

Package description of the mask: chocolate heaven for oily and teenage skin. Helps absorb excess oil and calm breakouts. Cocoa butter, linseed, and cocoa powder soften with balancing peppermint, spearmint and sandalwood oils.

I got this mask for free because lush will give you one mask for free if you bring back 5 clean full-size lush pots or tubes.

And for if I like the mask or not, I didn’t really like it because it didn’t do anything to my skin. It smells like mint chocolate, which I don’t prefer. It has a very short shelf life like 3 weeks and it has to be refrigerated. It is completely hard to wash off once it is dry, I tried to remove it with a warm cloth. I didn’t notice anything for mattifying my skin as it claims.

L’oreal Paris pure clay mask

For oily/combination skin

It has a three blend of pure clays which are:

• KAOLIN: a highly effective natural clay known to absorb excess sebum.

• MONTMORILLONITE: rich in minerals, a clay recognized for helping to eliminate imperfections.

• GHASSOUL: a pure clay highly concentrated in minerals renowned to help clarify the complexion.

And it contains Eucalyptus which is known for its purifying properties.

When I used it, I have noticed, it mattified my skin. I recommend being used on the T-Zone.

The fragrance is strong eucalyptus. The only concern is that it was trouble to wash it off. It says you can use warm water or wet towel and I think the wet towel method is better to remove the mask off your face.

I used it twice a week and I can notice a difference in my skin instantly. It tightened my pores too.

Victoria’s secret very voluptuous lip plumper in baby pink

At first, it tingled a bit. The consistency is gooey, thick in texture and a bit sticky. I feel it plumped my lips a little but it didn’t last for a long time. I like the tube, you twist it from the bottom to get the product out. It took me a while to finish this product. I have had it for years.

Lush sleepy body lotion

It is infused with oatmeal and lavender flower. It feels silky and smooth on the body.

I can’t give the scent any justice. It smells heavenly and calming. Best used at night before bed. It definitely helps with sleeping better.

I highly recommend it if you like lavender scent. I would repurchase.

Clarisonic refreshing gel cleanser

It is a foaming gel that can be used with your Clarisonic. It came with my Clarisonic mia2.

I like this cleanser, it purifies and refreshes my skin. It helps with my oily skin without over-drying it. I used it twice a week with my Clarisonic mia2.

The smell is amazingly fresh. It makes my skin feel clean. It is gentle on my sensitive skin. I would repurchase.

Botanics shine away with willow bark mattifying toner

For oily/combination skin

I use this toner every morning after cleansing my face and I noticed my pores got tightened.

I like using it in conjunction with the Botanics cleansing mousse. It is gentle, none irritating toner especially for sensitive skin. It helped my skin to be less oily.

You need to shake it before use to activate the mattifying powders then apply with cotton pads over the face.

If you combine the cleanser, the mask, and the toner you will get great results. I highly recommend it. Besides I like the new packaging.

I hope you enjoyed these reviews.
