Empties: February 2014

Left: Etude House Gold Veil Highlighter, Maybelline Dream Smooth Primer, Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Concealer, MAC Loose Powder
Middle: MUA Pro Eye Primer, Estee Lauder Double Wear Light
Right: Schwarzkopf Gliss Liquid Silk Express Repair Conditioner, No7 Beautiful Skin Eye Makeup Remover

I always shy away from using products up (aside from staples) for fear of them being gone forever. I'm trying hard to get myself out of this thought process though, and it's working- kind of.

Definite repurchases:
Estee Lauder Double Wear Light - amazing formula and great for my combi/oily skin.
Schwarzkopf Gliss Liquid Silk Express Repair Conditioner - best leave in conditioner I have ever had, I feel like I will forever repurchase this. It makes my hair feel so good!

Maybe repurchases:
MUA Pro Eye Primer - it worked, it was okay, but my eyeshadow still creased after 6+ hours.
Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Concealer - I really liked this concealer, but with so many other concealers to use up at the moment I don't think this is an absolute repurchase.
Etude House Gold Veil Highlighter - beautiful highlighter but it wasn't love. It worked, it highlighted well but it didn't quite have the 'omg this is amazing' factor.
Maybelline Dream Smooth Primer - it worked, a great primer but I have others that I'm working my way through that are just as good.

Won't be repurchasing:
MAC Loose Powder - lovely powder, nothing wrong with the product per se, just the price tag. I can get the same finish with a lot of cheaper loose powders.
No7 Beautiful Skin Eye Makeup Remover - removed eye makeup well but left my skin feeling a little too oily for my liking.

Maybelline Color Tattoos - US v. UK versions

I absolutely adore Maybelline's Color Tattoos; I currently have 30 (almost all that Maybelline have made so far!) Now this post isn't going to be a review of the Color Tattoos but a comparative list of the US v. UK versions.

I can't understand why companies give the same product different names in different countries, it make it so easy for someone to end up with 2 identical items because they have different names. I have created this list in the hopes that it helps to identify the products that are essentially the same and prevent us from ending up with two!

This is currently complete, though that of course will change as Maybelline bring out future Color Tattoos. It is my aim to update the list as new releases are brought out.

Now, on to the list!
