Empties #59

This month's empties focuses solely on makeup items!

Maybelline & Max Factor

If you go to Boots or Superdrug, they generally do 3 for 2 offers. I picked these up on such an offer.

Aeon Wellness Buy 1 Get 1 Free

While Guardian and Watsons are the bigger pharmacies and where people tend to check out beauty products, I think that it is a great idea to check out Caring Pharmacy as well as Aeon Wellness. Case in point, I found quite a few brands to be in a Buy 1 Get 1 Free promotion and these are the products I picked up.

Empties #55

More empties coming your way!

Empties #52

Let's just say I have a few eyeliners lying around that are way too old to be putting anywhere near my actual eyes...

All About Lips #180 - Maybelline Colour Jolt Matte Intense Lip Paint in Bittersweet Mandarin

The Maybelline Colour Jolt Intense Lip Paints are really good. I already had one from the US and then picked up this matte shade in Bittersweet Mandarin.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in 35 Deep

I have tried the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer before and it is a really lovely formula. I cannot remember what shade I use but most of the medium shades were out of stock on Hermo so I thouht I would try this deeper shade to bronze/contour.

Hermo #9

Ever since I swore off Sephora online, my choices are pretty much Hermo or Althea. Althea tends to be cheaper but Hermo delivers quicker and has more brands since it is not just Korean products. In fact, this haul is mainly western (Loreal and Maybelline) plus Japanese!

Empties #45

I think it may be best to do empties post once in a while and to keep on top of it, rather than having to bore you all at one shot.

Empties #36 - Makeup Eye Products

The third empties post in this series is the eye makeup products.  This post, thankfully is not as long so click on to read more about these items!

Empties #35 - Makeup Lip Gloss

Following from my empties- Lipsticks, we are doing empties- lip gloss today!

Empties #34 - Makeup Lipstick

Now I'll be honest, you are about to be hit with empties post after empties post after empties post. I have had so many because I thought it would be easier to keep them all and do a big post (WRONG) but here we are and this is the first one of .... well, let's keep it a surprise!

Some bits from Watsons

Despite being pretty good recently (by my standards), I went to Watsons for a mascara, and came out with additional items! Eye drops have not been photographed here.

Maybelline Hypersharp Eyeliner + Maybelline the Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara

The Maybelline duo came in a package from a Hermo order I placed. I thought it would be a brilliant way to try out the mascara and the eyeliner.

Hermo #5

One Hermo haul, Two Hermo haul, Three Hermo haul... Oh dear.

Make up Swap with BeauteeBeauty

If there is one thing more fun than shopping for makeup, it is to pick up items for a friend! Or in this case, we did a makeup swap! How it works is just that we pick a budget and then buy items we like for each other to try out! Amanda from BeauteeBeauty was a real sweetheart and picked these 5 items for me to try out!

Maybelline Brow Precise Fiber Volumizer

The Maybelline Brow Precise Fiber Volumiser in 260 Deep Brown is one of the newer releases from Maybelline for a brow gel. I think it replaces the older one with an odd ball-like tip applicator which many people complained about.

Walmart

This is the final USA drugstore makeup haul and we end on a bit of a high and a bit of a downer. That almost made no sense!

All About Lips #146

The Maybelline Bold Lipstick in 790 Midnight Merlot is one of the darkest lipsticks I own. It is perhaps comparable to the H&M Lipstick I have which is so dark that it is almost black but this is a contender.

All About Lips #145

When I wear bright, bold colours, I prefer them to be a matte so that there is less movement and more staying put on my lips! Enter Maybelline Matte Lipstick in Ruby Red
