Saying Goodbye to a Few Favourites

Each month I see posts on beauty blogs about the products they've finished this month and I wonder how these bloggers get through so many. However, I decided it was time to have a clear out of my makeup bag and it turns out I had loads of finished products, I just didn't want to throw them away! So, in an attempt to overcome my tendency to hoard finished products here is my first empties post! I've decided to focus on foundations and mascaras.

NYC Natural Matte Foundation and Maxfactor Smooth Effect Foundation

FoundationNYC Natural Matte FoundationSo this foundation costs £2.99 from Superdrug and I love it. It doesn't have an SPF like you would expect from a more expensive product but this really works for me. It is medium to full coverage, is buildable, easy to wear and is long wearing. I think this is a real gem and a real bargain.Cost: £2.99Would I repurchase: Yes!

Maxfactor Smooth Effect FoundationThis is another foundation that I love. Again it doesn't come with an SPF but it is oil free and doesn't clog pores.This foundation is great for evening out skin tone and cover minor breakouts, however it isn't the best on more severe breakouts as it can look quite cakey.Cost: £7.99Would I repurchase: Yes

MascaraBourjois Volumizer MascaraThis mascara has a two wands that create impressive volume. The formula is a little wet and it  clumps easily. I personally find the two wands a little bit fussy but when you get used to it and can recognize when to stop before it starts clumping, the end results are impressive.Cost: £10.49Would I repurchase: Maybe, a good mascara but not fond of the two wands.

17 Peep Show MascaraA good lengthening mascara that is great for everyday. It is buildable and doesn't clump easily but isn't one for those looking for a false lash effect.Cost: £6.29Would I repurchase: No, this is a nice mascara but I need volume as well as length.

Maxfactor False Lash Effect Fusion MascaraThis stands as my favorite mascara of all time! I am open to suggestions of others to test if you feel you have a rival but I LOVE this mascara! It is easy to apply and creates high impact lashes. I haven't come across a better mascara yet.Cost: £10.99Would I repurchase: Yes
