Does anyone else ever find themselves questioning whether all their beauty products conspire to conveniently run out at the same time? I found myself wondering this as within a week my beloved haircare, skincare and makeup products reached the end of their life. With payday not yet here, rather than mourn the loss of my beauty items I decided to take the opportunity to write my first empty products post. As someone who loves putting new products to the test and so often ends up with drawers filled with half used items; I am excited to share those that I loved enough to reach the bottom.
1. Haircare
As someone that prioritises looking after their locks, I have managed to work my way through two leave-in treatments, two hair oils and my favourite shampoo and conditioner. I am sad to see both my Lee Stafford Hair Growth Leave-In Treatment and Label M Protein Spray reach the end of their life. I have frizzy, weak hair that is constantly tangled up in knots and so a leave-in spray is an essential part of my routine. I will feel at a lost without either of these when I am battling a brush through my freshly washed locks.
I am a huge advocate that a hair oil is essential for keeping your hair in the best condition. I always run an oil through the mid-length and ends of my hair after I have washed it and before any styling takes place. This protects against heat, prevents split ends and leaves your hair feeling soft, thick and looking healthy. A good hair oil doesn’t have to break the bank and two favourites of mine are the Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil and dr. organic Hair Treatment Serum. Both of these are purse friendly and last forever as only a sparing amount is needed to restore shine and achieve silky soft ends.
2. Skincare
Anyone that has been reading my blog will know by now that I recently discovered and fell in love with Tropic Skincare; a 100% natural, vegan and cruelty free line of products that you can read a full review on here. Sadly my Tropic Vitamin Toner has been the first of my collection to reach the end of its life, perhaps because I have been seriously over spritizing. I use it not only after I moisturise but whenever my skin needs a refreshing pick me up throughout the day.
I am also on the final dregs of My Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water and will without a doubt be repurchasing this. The massive 400ml bottle lasts forever and a few drops on a cotton wool pad will instantly dissolve all traces of eye makeup without irritating my sensitive skin. This is a great more affordable and accessible alternative to the coveted Bioderma.
3. Makeup
I am sad to see my Max Factor Clump Defy Mascara completely finished off and my collection feels incomplete without it. This is the perfect daytime mascara as it creates amazing length and volume without clumping and looking unnatural. This is one of my favourite drugstore brands and one that I will be running out very soon to replace.
My final empty product is the L’Oreal Paris Nude Magique Blur Cream and sadly this is one that I don’t think I will be repurchasing. I was hoping that this would be a great dupe for the Benefit Porefessional however, whilst the appearance is the same, performance wise it failed to meet my expectations. The consistency is not as smooth as the Porefessional and I am suspicious that this pretty lilac tube is only half filled. I was disappointed with the speed at which it ran out especially considering that I only use a pea-sized amount at a time. I would rather pay more for the Benefit primer that performs better, applies seamlessly and lasts five-times longer.
That’s it for my first ever and rather lengthy empty products post. I would love to hear what you all think in the comments below as well as the products that you have recently used up. You can also message me on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. In the mean time I will be planning a rather needed and expensive trip to my nearest Boots!
