Products I’ve Used Up / Empties

I am a YouTube junkie.  I became addicted about a year ago and absolutely love all videos, but my favorites are those done by beauty guru’s.  Videos covered range from what are called “hauls” (basically stuff purchased) to tutorials and everything you can imagine in between.  One of my favorite types of videos is called “empties” that I am obsessed with!  This is where gurus will go through products they have used up and tell you whether or not they would repurchase them in the future.

Now, I am not going to a video on my “empties”, but I do have some good ones so I thought I would share some of the recent products I have used up and let you know if I would repurchase them in the future.

NYX HD Concealer in Porcelain, $4.99: I can’t say enough great things about this concealer.  It is an awesome buy at $4.99 and is perfect to give the under eye a bright, creaseless glow.  It also covers like nobody’s business.  I have already repurchased this item.

MAC Cremesheen Glass in Right Image, $20.00: I love this color and the formula, which is very moisturizing.  While this is a pigmented gloss it is one that you need to touch up during the day.  Although the price on this is a little steep at $20, I think it is worth it and have repurchased this.

MAC Liquidfast Liner in Point Black, $20.00: I hate this eyeliner .  It comes with a tiny brush that is difficult to work with and the tube is super tiny so it doesn’t last long at all. Needless to say I will not be repurchasing this one.

Milani EyeTech Extreme Liquid Eyeliner in Black, $8.49: I love this eyeliner and have already repurchased.  It is department store quality at a drug store price.  Whether you want to do a thin line or a dramatic cat eye, the fine tip on this pigmented pen is a keeper.  I will definitely be repurchasing after I work through some of my other eyeliners.

MAC Paint Pot in Painterly, $21.00:  This product is awesome!  I have used this item religiously as an eyeshadow base or just on its own daily for at least a year and I decided it was finally time to get a new one.  This is the perfect primer providing a flawless finish on your eyelids.  I purchased a new one already.

Dior Airflash Foundation in Light Beige, $62.00: I really like this foundation, however for $62 I need to LOVE a foundation and this one was just ok.  Coverage was OK and it didn’t break me out so that was a plus.  I will not be repurchasing this item.

Healthy Sexy Hair Tri Wheat Leave In Conditioner, $12.00: This was an amazing leave in conditioner that left my thin hair shiny and voluminous.  Since my hair is so thin I am careful to not use too many products and immediately stop using anything that weighs my hair down.  If you have super thick, coarse hair I don’t know that this would be moisturizing enough, but if you have thin to medium hair thickness I would give this a try.  I will definitely be repurchasing this.

So….do you have any products (empties) you have used up recently?  I would love to hear what they are!
