Priceline 40% off Skincare Haul, 27-28th January 2016

Hi Everyone,

So over the 27th-28th January Priceline held one of it's bi-annual 40% off skincare sales and I took this opportunity to purchase some products that I've been interested in.  I purchased five items and spent a total of $40.33 which isn't too bad though I had meant to try and stay under $35 all together. I tend to have normal skin that leans dry with minor blemishes.  It's not particularly sensitive to any ingredients (as far as I know) but I haven't tried any of these yet because I want to patch test and introduce each item slowly first (it sucks breaking out and not knowing what's causing it!).




Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water 400mL - $7.79

I bought this to replace my L'Oreal Micellar Water which I'll probably finish within the next two months or so.  Reviews have said that it's the best available at a lower price point not that I've really used enough micellar waters to compare it against.  This was the cheapest option available at my Priceline.

Ingedients 

Aqua/Water, Hexylene Glycol, Glycerin, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Disodium EDTA, Poloxamer 184, Polyaminopropyl, Biguanide.

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser 125mL - $5.57

While it would have been much more cost efficient to get a larger size but I've never used this product before and I didn't want to get a large size if I ended up hating it or breaking out from it.  I'm excited to try this especially as it's meant to be pH balanced as my current cleanser Shiseido Perfect Whip has much to high of a pH which makes it much less effective as part of my skincare routine.

Ingredients
Purified Water, Cetyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Laurel Sulphate, Stearyl Alcohol, Methyl Hydroxybenzoate, Butyl Hydroxybenzoate.

Sukin Cream Cleanser 125mL - $5.99

I didn't actually mean to pick this up, I meant to get the Sukin foaming cleanser instead but I can't really complain after seeing some great reviews for this online for people who share similar skin type to me.  I've also taken a sniff at it and it smells nice, even though some people do have a preference for no fragrance in their skincare products, I do like a little something to liven it up a bit.

Ingredients
Aqua, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Sesamum Indicum Sesame Seed Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Cetyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil (Rose Hip), Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Equisetum Arvense (Horsetail) Extract, Arctium Lappa (Burdock) Extract, Urtica Doiica (Nettle) Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Benzyl Alcohol, Citrus Tangerina (Tangerine) Peel Oil, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil, Lavandula Angusfolia (Lavendar) Oil, Vanillin, Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract, Linalool, Limonene.

Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream 17g - $8.99

One of my friends has this and when I borrowed some one night I absolutely loved it.  It smells more like lemon rind than straight lemon and it has a moisturising but not overly greasy feel to it.  I use this at night after I put on hand cream.

Ingredients
Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Beeswax,Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Beta-Carotene, Canoli Oil, Vegetable Oil.

Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil - 20mL - $11.99

This was the product that I was most excited about from this haul.  I've got friends who swear by
rosehip oil as being instrumental in cleaning up their skin so I wanted to get my hands on some. I purchased the Trilogy version as it was pure rosehip oil rather a mix with another type of oil.  Using it makes me feel like I'm in an apothecary carefully measuring out the exact amount drop by drop. It's always fun to find a product that makes you feel super fancy while you're using it!

Ingredients
Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Seed Oil.

So that brings to a close my Priceline Skincare Haul.  Tell me, did you purchase anything from this sale?  Have you tried any of these products before?  Feel free to tell me :)

Weekly Update, (18-24th Jan)

Hi everyone,

How've your weeks been?  Mine's been pretty painful, and I do mean that literally!  This week's been pretty much dominated by the fact that I got my wisdom teeth out.  Honestly, it's not been too bad, just a bit of swelling and bruising  though for the first couple of hours after the surgery I felt like a semi-high chipmunk!  If you're getting your wisdom teeth out then I have to say to you cool packs are going to be your best friend.

That's honestly about it for now, I honestly can't write anymore for the moment.  I'm going to go take some panadol and take a nap and hope the pain goes away :)

My Visual Makeup Collection and Storage

Hi everyone!

Today I'll be sharing with you my makeup collection and storage.  My collection is not what you'd call minimalistic, in fact I estimate I have more makeup than the average person my age.  However, it's definitely not on the same level as other more serious beauty bloggers.  It's comprised of mostly lower end products with the occasional mid range item thrown in the mix.  I suppose for me this doubles as a bit of a visual makeup inventory for me(I already have a spreadsheet which I can also share) and is a good way of reminding myself of what I already have.  So without further ado, let's head onwards to my visual inventory.

Storage

For storage I have a clear, four drawer acrylic stationary storage which I bought from Officeworks for $16.96 here.  It's not the most elegant storage set; it feels a tad flimsy and the drawers can squeak a little bit. Regardless it's still sturdy enough for my purposes and the larger fourth drawer is more useful to me than many other acrylic storage options.  Each drawer can also be popped out for easier organisation.  I have lined each drawer with a non slip mat which I bought in a roll from Daiso then cut to size. This is especially useful for my lip drawer to stop the tubes from rolling around.  For a total storage cost of just under ~$20, I don't think that this system is too shabby at all!

Eyes

Eyeshadow

Clockwise from top left:

• Lorac Pro 1 Palette
• Chi Chi Glamorous Eye Palette in Nudes
• Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio in Walking on Eggshells (depotted)
• Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio in Sweet as Candy (depotted)
• Guerlain Duo Poudre Pour les Paupieres in Istanbul
• Maybelline Eye Studio Colour Tattoo 24HR Metal in Inked in Pink
• Estee Lauder Color Envy Lisa Perry 7 Pan Palette
• Lorac Skinny Palette in Nude

For someone who doesn't really like eyeshadow very much, I think I've got way too much of it

Goodness!  Counting individual shades I've got 51, most of which are neutral.  In all honestly I don't need this much eyeshadow.  Next time I mention wanting to buy anymore please direct me back to this image so I can judge myself for having way more than I need.

Eyeliner

Get back in line Koji Pencil Liner!

From L-R:

• EyeStudio Lasting Drama Gel Pot Liner in Blackest Black
• Koji Dolly Wink Liquid Liner in Deep Black
• Etude House Drawing Show Brush Liner in BK801
• Essebce Longlasting Eye Pencil in Black Fever
• Koji Dolly Wink Pencil Eyeliner in Brown
• Wet n Wild ColorIcon Brow and Eyeliner in Bronzed
• Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in Nude
• Max Factor Liquid Effect Pencil in Lilac Flame
• Sephora Collection Contour Eye Pencil in Surfer Babe

I'm not too fussed about this section even if I rarely wear eyeliner.  Still, I won't be purchasing anymore until I can make a good dent in the stash here.

Eyebrows, Mascaras and Eye Primers

From L-R:

• Essence I Love Extreme Volume Waterproof in Black
• Maybelline Full 'n' Soft Waterproof in Blackest Black(unopened
• Daiso Brow Pencil in Grey
• Daiso Brow Pencil in Grey (unopened)
• Essence Eyebrow Designer in Black
• Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer (sample size)
• NYX HD Eyeshadow Base

I'm pretty happy with this section.  Two of these items are products I want to use up this year and everything else gets rotated through pretty regularly.  To be honest, I can't wait to chuck out the Essence mascara and go back to my old faithful Maybelline so that'll get rid of things doubly quick.

Face

Sunscreen

From L-R:

• Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel
• Hada Labo Perfect UV Gel
• Etude House Sunprise Must Daily

Suprise suprise, these are all Asian sunscreens.  I much prefer the formulas of these over what is more prevalent in the Australian market.  They aren't tacky, don't leave a white cast and give a much nicer finish to the skin which in turn makes it much more likely for me to wear them.  Currently trying to pan the Biore first after which I'll probably switch to the Hada Labo instead.

Foundation, BB Cream and Concealers

From L-R:

• Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in Beige Claire, 53
• Maybelline Pure BB Mineral Watergel in Medium Beige, 02
• Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in Classic Beige
• Maybelline FitMe Concealer in Sand, 20
• Maybelline Instant Age Rewind in Neutraliser

As you can see, I don't really favour foundations or BB creams to even out my complexion,  Instead I'll normally just conceal dark circles with either the Age Rewind or the Rimmel then spot conceal blemishes with the FitMe concealer.  Regardless, I still like having the option to really even out my skin somedays which is why I keep the foundation and the BB cream around.

Loose Powders

From L-R:

• Maybelline Mineral Power Foundation in Light 4
• W7 Sheer Loose Powder in Honey

I don't really use loose powders much, they're typically too messy.  I might get rid of these and get a truly translucent loose powder later on in the year.  Maybe.

Pressed Powders

From L-R:

• Essence All About Matt! Fixing Compact Powder in Translucent
• Rimmel Stay Matte in Translucent

I'm so pleased with the amount of pan I've hit on the Essence powder!  I'll hopefully use that up and then move onto the Rimmel. At this point I'm probably set for the next year in terms of pressed powders.

Blush

Add caption

Clockwise from Top Left:

• Essence Blush Up! Powder Blush in Heat Wave
• Savvy Classic Blush in Cherry
• TheBalm Instain Blush in Pinstripe
• Essence Silky Touch Blush in Natural Beauty

I think blush is one of my favourite categories of makeup.  I tend to stick to more muted colours and I think I've got most major colour families in my collection already.  The one thing I might buy this year is a cream blush to experiment with layering it under one of these powders to make both longerlasting as well as on its own for a more dewey finish to the skin.

Contour and Highlight

• Maybelline Master Sculpt in Medium/Dark

Contour and highlight isn't a category I see myself really needing to purchase in.  I'm very pleased with the product I already have and I've got enough eyeshadow that I can easily repurpose for these uses.  The only exception I might make is to purchase a travel size Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector as I've been wanting to try a liquid highlight ever since I finished my sample of the Etude House Nymph Aura Volumer.

Lips

From L-R:

• Rimmel Show Off Matte Lip Velvent in Orange-ology
• Sephora Collection Cream Lipstain in Always Red
• Rimmel Lasting Finish Matte by Kate Moss in Kiss of Life, 111
• Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede in Fashionista, 80
• Savvy Perfect Pout Lip Set (2014) mini in Platform
• Savvy Perfect Pout Lip Set (2014) mini in Nudie Run
• Essence Longlasting Lipstick in Barely There!
• Revlon Lip Butter in Raspberry Pie (discontinued :( )
• Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in As You Want Victoria
• Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint in PK02
• NYX Butter Gloss in Peach Cobbler
• NYX Butter Gloss in Tiramisu
• Maybelline Shinesensational Lip Gloss in Berry Bella (discontinued)
• Essence Lip Liner in Red Blush (formula has been updated since I purchase it)

As a rule it seems I tend to go towards brighter lip shades.  I don't really think there's many holes in my colour sellection, perhaps a burgundy or medium pink but I would like to get some more lip liners so as to have cleaner lip lines.

Nails

Base Coats and Top Coats

From L-R:

• Essie First Base
• Natio Top Coat
• Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat
• Sally Hansen Big Matte Top Coat

I'm a big fan of the Insta-Dri as an alternative to Seche Vite (which is difficult to source in Australia). The Essie is also good, it's really fast drying (sensing a theme here yet!).  The only purchase I might make in this category is a replacement for the Insta-Dri but only if I completely finish the entire bottle.

Coloured Polishes

Please ignore the blutack, it's from the lip product photo.  I promise it's not gum!

From L-R:

• Essence the Gel Nail Polish in give me nude! baby
• Maybelline Color Show in Blackout
• Sinful Colors Nail Polish in Copper Pot
• Sinful Colors Nail Polish in You Just Wait
• Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Purple Heart
• Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Berry Important
• Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy in Roulette Rush
• Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Hot Tamale
• Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Sun Kissed
• Natio Nail Polish in Dahlia
• Natio Nail Polish in Melon
• Natio Nail Polish in Blossom

I tend to favour warmer colours for my nails though I do want to experiment with greens and blues as well.  The only purchase I know I definitely want to make is OPI's tickle my france-y that I expanded on here.

So that concludes my visual makeup collection and storage.  What do you think?  Is your collection smaller? Larger?  Tell me what you think below!

Weekly Update, (11th-17th Jan)

Hi Everyone,

How has your week been?  Mine's gone pretty well.  Not too much blogging so I probably need to write and schedule some more posts.

So lately on Australia's east coast it's been crazily hot and on the hottest day this week my friends and I organised a water fight.  It was so much fun! (though not something I'd recommend if you don't like cleaning up).  We had over 450 water balloons in total although by the end we were just dumping buckets of water over each other.  10/10, would recommend getting together with friends and acting like kids :)

I also painted my nails this week and I'm kind of ridiculously digging the colour.  I've worn it before and not particularly liked it but I think my summer tan has made it super flattering.  It's Purple Heart by Sally Hansen and it's in the total Salon Manicure range.  It takes two coats to opacity but three is probably better to really even it out.

Look at those cuticles!

I also washed all my brushes this week but I didn't have time to take photos so I'll probably have to postpone my planned brush posts.  Oh well, at least I've got clean brushes!  What do you guys think I should do next?  Palette series?  Eyeliner?  Lips?  Tell me down below!

That's everything for the week.  How was your week? What do you guys want to see next?  Comment down below and tell me!

My Daiso Haul

Ahh Daiso, you $2.80 beacon of happiness.  If you don't know Daiso is a Japanese dollar store in which almost everything is priced at $2.80 (at least in Australia, I know it costs different amounts in different countries).  It can sell some really quality stuff (also some really odd stuff) and I love going there whenever I can.

1) Detergent for Puff and Sponge

A bit of a cult favourite, I've been having trouble getting my hands on some since it usually sells out so quickly.  I love this stuff so much I bought two back up bottles of it (even though I already had one opened at home!).  I think I'll be using this more frequently now since I just bought a beauty blender and I've been trying to make sure I keep it clean.  I prefer this for deep cleansing my brushes, otherwise I use the Daiso Makeup Brush Cleanser instead.

2) Scrubbing Board

This remind you of anything in particular?  While there is a bit of controversy about whether this version or the brush egg came first, I couldn't pass up the chance to try it out to wash my brushes.  I'll do a much more in depth review on this in my upcoming post on how I wash my brushes.

3) Camera Tripod

This is a mini pocket tripod that I bought for me to carry around on the go.  It's small enough to fit into my camera bag alongside my camera and it's fairly stable as well.  It's just a simple screw mechanism that attaches it to the camera.  You can't extend it so you'll need to set it on top of objects to change it's height.  However for $2.80 I really can't complain as it is both convenient and stable.

4) Bookend

Just a bookend, nothing particularly noteworthy about it.  I'm using it to help organise my locker for the coming year.  I learnt my lesson last year (all my books just ended up in a heap) and I'm hoping this will help me avoid that.

5) Plastic Organiser

Also for my locker.  I'll be putting this in the upper compartment to organise some of my smaller items that just sort of float around my locker.

6) Collectibles Holder

Just a clear acrylic holder.  This was a bit of an impulse purchase for though I'm sure I can find something to store inside it.  It's of good quality with the plastic being decently thick with solid construction.

7) Silicon Face Scrubber

Doesn't this remind you a little bit of the Foreo Luna?  I know Sephora also sells an exact copy of this for $6.  So far it's working quite well, it's a very gentle exfoliation and it hasn't hurt to use it.  I've been wanting to introduce some different physical exfoliation into my skincare routine, especially as I'm aiming to phase out any products I have with microbeads in them.  This has worked well for that purpose so far though I'll have to update you guys on this later to see how it continues to work.

8) Binder Reinforcements

Bought both for their actual purpose and as guides for french manicures.  $2.80 for 200 isn't a bad deal at all!

So that brings to a conclusion everything I got on my most recent trip to Daiso.  Tell me, what are your favourite things to get from there?  Is there anything I bought you want to see in action?

Weekly Update (Really Fortnightly), (4th-10th Jan, 2016)

Hi Everyone,

So I might've missed a few weekly updates with Christmas and the New Year but I'm back and ready for the first one of 2016!

My family and I were travelling over Christmas and we ended up in one of the bigger cities on Boxing Day which of course meant we went a little crazy with the shopping!  I probably spent the most money at Uniqlo as I've got a bit of a thing for just wardrobe basics.  Honestly if you look inside my closet it's probably most made up on white, black and grey.  Not very interesting but at least everything goes together right!  I bought some of the things I was after in my Boxing Day Wishlist (namely a white shirt and the beauty blender).  From memory I bought three pairs of jeans, two shirts, a dress, a couple of singlets and a skirt, a skirt and a pair of pretty kick ass boots.  I think I'm going to be putting myself on a very strict sort of spending ban in which I'm trying to cut down on impulse buys.  Not saying that any of the items I bought were impulse buys, most of them are things I would've bought even at full price, but for this year I'd like to focus on saving money rather than spending it.  (Even as I say this, I'm fairly sure my next post is a Daiso Haul Post :/)

Which brings me to my next point.  Sorry if it's a tad rant-y but work has given me barely any shifts. Even my normal shift got given to someone else, and to make it worse she has about five shifts this week!  I just think it's a bit unfair honestly.  And another thing to be vaguely pissed off this week at. I'm breaking out randomly and I'm not even sure what the cause is.  It can't be my period and I haven't been using any new products so I just don't know what it could be.  It seems to be clearing up though so by next week hopefully I'll have better news.

Things I've been enjoying this week would have to be Pandora and CodeAcademy.  It was recently brought to my attention that I don't really have much of a music taste and to fix(?) this I turned towards Pandora.  It's a great way to discover other artists which share similar characteristic to artists you already listen to and like.  If any of you guys have any recommendations to indie rock or just really anything at this moment I'll be glad to take them!  On CodeAcademy I've been learning some HTML basics.  I'm currently going through tables which I'm finding a tad challenging.  It's a great way to learn though.  The instruction and information are very clearly communicated and it's great being able to practice using it as well.

Went out to see Star Wars again which was pretty epic (even the second time round).  Apart from that though I haven't really had too much social contact and I'm hoping to change that next week.

So that's about all I can think of for the last two weeks.

How was your New Years and Christmas?  How were your weeks?  Tell me down below!

My 2016 School Supplies

Hi how are you guy's going?  Today we're going to be talking about the school supplies I've rustled up for the oncoming school year.  As I'm sure many of you can infer from some of my previous posts, I'll be moving into Year 12 (the equivalent of being a senior) this year.  I wanted to organise myself for this so I headed out and grabbed some of the stuff I thought I'd need before the back to school stationary crush began.

The Books:

At the beginning of this year I'll be studying six subjects.  One of them is Photography which doesn't really need an excercise book so I've got five with me at the moment.  I normally use 5mm graph paper books for my maths books but I've looked over the units we'll be covering and I don't think I'll need to be drawing a lot for them so I just grabbed two excercise books I had lying around.  I'm fairly sure I bought all of these excercise books at Officeworks over the course of a couple of years.

I've also bought a 2016 diary.  I selected this one in particular it because it has holes in the side to allow you to quickly flick to the correct month which just makes it very convenient. I really like making lists so having a diary is a good way for me to organise them.

The Organisers:

If there's one thing that I learnt about my school last year it was the amount of loose leaf handouts they gave me.  To help organise them, I grabbed this expanding file from the Martha Stewart Homewares line from Officeworks (which I'm fairly sure is being discontinued as it was heavily marked down).  It lies much flatter than a lot of other expanding files I've seen which is just more convenient for me to use.

I've also got a folder from last year that I'm reusing for photography this year again.  It's a three ring binder which I've found to be the most convenient for me as it fits most of the photo negative sleaves that I use.

The Pencilcase:

This pencil case is just a bag I got from a QANTAS flight on the trip that we were very luckily bumped up to business class.  If it means anything to you it was a collaboration between QANTAS and  Florence Broadhurst, but I chose it because I liked the geometric design.

Inside the Pencilcase:

I have seven writing implements.  I tend to favour black pens over blue (in fact the only blue pen I have is the fountatin pen!).  Now, I don't pretend to be a pen connisieur or anything but this is what I've found useful to have on hand to take notes or study.

These are just some middle of the road pens, perfectly functional but nothing special.  These are the ones for everyday use or just to lend to scatterbrained friends.

This is the Pentel Energel-X BL107 Gel Pen in Black .  From the name you can obviously tell that it's a black gel pen but this pen in particular has a very smooth flow, dries quickly and doesn't smudge. While I don't say that everyone needs this exact pen, I reckon everyone needs a pen that is both reliable comfortable to write with.  This is my exam pen as I can write for long periods of time with it without cramping up my hand and I can always rely on the inkflow to be legible.  However, I will warn you that this particular pen does run out of ink relatively quickly in comparison to a ballpoint pen so you will need to repurchase it throughout the year.

This is a generic fountain pen I found at Daiso and it works well for it's price ($2.80!).  I also bought a pack of five refills.  It has blue black ink which I prefer to straight up blue ink.  This is the pen to show off.  While it might be cheap it looks impressive and is good for those days when you want to intimidate your opponents classmates or just feel like a general bad ass.  I know it's not the best fountain pen out there but it's a cheap way to feel awesome on a day to day basis.

I got this from Smiggle many years back and while it may be childish it's very useful for organising my note taking.  Not much to say, it's not particularly nice to write with but it's nice to have around.

On a similar topic I also have three different colours of highlighters which are useful for note taking. They're a tad old and beat up but they all still work so I didn't feel the need to get anymore.  As you can see the smaller ones stack which makes them much more comfortable to use as they become the size of just a normal highlighter.

I tend to just keep the one pencil mostly for diagrams or things I know I'll need to erase.  I prefer to write in pen so there wasn't really a need for me to get a fancy pencil when I barely use it anyway. The eraser and the sharpener are around just for the upkeep of the pencil.

A new purchase for me this year.  My pencil case is quite small so I can only fit a 15cm ruler in it.  I use to have a plastic folding ruler but that warped and my lines were never straight.  I've bought this stainless steel ruler as it's probably the most durable ruler available for me.

I've also got two white outs.  I prefer the tape kind as I'm much too impatient to wait for the liquid kind to dry.  If you're wondering what the orange stuff is, I managed to spill nail polish on it sometime last year and just never bothered getting out the nail polish remover!

This is a Toshiba USB 2.0 16gb flash drive.  It's useful to carry one of these around to transfer or save files onto.  I didn't need anything flash (haha get it!) though so I just grabbed the cheapest 16gb usb at the store I went to which turned out to be this one.  It's functional which is all I really need it to be.

And that brings the conclusive overview of my 2016 school supplies to an end.  What are you bringing back to school for the new year?  Anything you think I should have?

Stuff I Want to Use Up

Hi everyone.

In case you're wondering, this post today is in regards to my New Year's Resolution's for products that I want to use up over the next calendar year (and mini reviews on these products).  You can read my philosophy for this on that post (just skip down to number five).  To be fair, most of these are about half done which is probably why I picked them as I tend to sort of 'hoard' stuff once it starts getting used up instead of actually finishing it.

1) Essence All About Matt Fixing Compact Powder.

I hit pan on this about November last year and I've since been focusing solely on it.  The packaging also broke so I want to finish it so I can move onto my Rimmel stay matte powder which is probably more convenient for travel and also just for the satisfaction of completely finishing a product.

2) Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer in Neutraliser

This is slightly more than half finished.  I bought this probably two or three years ago and while I don't necessarily believe in the makeup expiration dates being thrown around I do think that this needs to be used up as I have other concealers waiting for me.  I only started using this regularly late this year and progress is quite fast with this concealer.

3) Batiste Dry Shampoo in Dark & Dark Brown

This works well enough and it's the most empty of all of my dry shampoos.  I really need to use it up as I've got plenty more dry shampoo's hanging around waiting to be used

4) Essence Brow Designer in Black

My first eyebrow product!  As you can see it's getting quite small though a little bit goes a long way which means this has lasted me ages.  As it is black it can be a tad harsh but it blends away well if you make a mistake.  I have other eyebrow pencils waiting for me so I want to finish this one up.

5) NYX HD Eyeshadow Base

I bought this because of Brightest Bulb in the Box's review on it.  It works well but is getting old and I'd rather use this up then let it go bad.

6) Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50+, PA +++

I love this sunscreen.  It doesn't make me break out and gives a nice satin finish under makeup. However, I want to use this up so I can use my Hada Labo sunscreen which is more moisturising later this year in winter.

7) Biore Triple Action Toner

A bit of a myspace angle but we'll go with it.

Almost done.  This'll be any easy empty!  I estimate it to have maybe one month of use left?  We'll see soon hopefully.

8) Shiseido Perfect Whip

Drying but I use it in the shower and immediately put on moisturiser.  Sorry the tube looks a bit janky.  Maybe three months left of product if I actually use it.

So that concludes everything I want to use up.  Most of them will be easy empties but I'll probably swap in products after I finish them so I don't lose momentum with this.  Hopefully I can also post updates on this and I'll be prioritising reviews of these products as well.  Is there anything that you're aiming to use up as well?  Anyone you want me to review first?
