Empties Dec 2014



Nars eye primer:
it lasts me for ages (around 18 months), the best that I've used so far! Transparent, a must have if you have oily skin. Plus, it enhances the color of your eyeshadows. Repurchase? Yes, for sure.

Urban Decay (Naked) : from the first Naked palette. I used it quicker than any other ones and like non-stop. Perfect for the color of my eyelids. Repurchase? No, not for the moment as I have similar ones or alternatives in other palettes for the crease area.

Mac Hue Lipstick: glaze finish. a quite sheer nude color, more on the pink side. The satin power is not there but do we care? Repurchase? No, I'd rather buy a slightly darker shade

Mac Viva Glam V lipstick: lustre finish. A "my lips but better" shade, nude browny, easy to wear and low maintenance, but maybe a bit too shiny for me. Repurchase?  No, as I have many others to try on my list.

Mac Matte Bronzer: it's a matte bronzer ;). It´s very pigmented so a little goes a long way. I've never really heard people talking about it and maybe that´s because it is not bad but it is not fantastic either, and there is plenty of other better matte bronzer in the market. Repurchase? No, for the reason mentioned above

Mac Select moisture cover NW25: very moisturizing under eyes concealer which I recommend if you have dry to normal skin. My first concealer ever. There are still some products inside but I stopped using it as soon as I notices a strange smell from the tube 6 months after I first opened it.

And finally last but not least,

Cire trudon candle in Manon: this is the holly grail candle to me, the one and only reference since I got one the first time for my birthday 5 years ago. Not especially this scent but the Cire Trudon candles are THE best of the world. First the history of the company which exists and provides the Chateau de Versailles for centuries, then the high quality of the vegetable wax all made in France (the only candles that, according to my husband, do not irritate his sensitive eyes...), and finally the mutiple scents, all very subtil and delicate. Of course, no need to say how chic the glass and packaging are!
Manon is described as the "clean laundry" and this is exactly it!
I've been burning a lot of these babies for 5 years and have kept the glasses as brush holders, pen holders, cotton pads holders...
Repurchase? Yes, again, again and again...
