Australis Take Me On Tour Contouring & Highlighting Kit - review and swatches

I am very confused because I cannot find this product anywhere! I was in Kmart a few months ago and they had one of these kits left on the shelf so I decided to pick it up, and I'm so glad I did. From the research I've done online, it looks like the Australis Take Me On Tour Contouring & Highlighting Kit is a Kmart exclusive palette. This retails for $12.75 (and I have seen it recently, so it should still be available).



The kit comes with three contouring and highlighting shades - a light banana yellow highlight powder, a shimmery pink highlight powder, and a cool tone contour powder. I do own the original Australis AC On Tour Contouring and Highlighting Kit (unfortunately I dropped mine and only 3 shades remain), but I still have the yellow and the middle contouring shade (which I find the most comparable to this palette) for comparison purposes.

(L to R, how the shades appear in the palette)

To be honest, I think this palette is worth it just for the contour shade. I find it ten times more blendable than the complimenting contour shade in the bigger kit, and I reach for this shade 9/10 times when I do my makeup. On my NC15 skin tone, this is the perfect contour shade. I believe there is a different formulation between the two kits as I find the smaller kit much more blendable. 

I've never been a fan of the highlight shimmery shades that come in these types of palettes, as I find they're generally not the best quality nor what I am looking for in a highlight. But as I've said, I find this palette is worth it just for the contour shade. 



(L to R: Australis Take Me On Tour Banana Shade, Australis AC On Tour Banana Shade, Australis Take Me On Tour Contour Shade, Australis AC On Tour Middle Contour Shade)

Overall, if you see this palette, I would recommend picking it up. If the banana shade is the shade that interests you the most, I know Australis now does this as a single product in a bigger pan that can be purchased separately.

Current Favourites

I haven't done a Favourites post in quite some time, so I thought I would compile all the products I have been loving over the last couple of months.


Too Faced Love Flush Blush Palette 
This is the only blush product I have been reaching for for the last couple of months. Baby Love has become my favourite blush - it is the perfect shade for everyday. To see my review of this palette, please click here.

MAC Whirl Lipstick
This lipstick has quickly replaced Velvet Teddy as my favourite MAC lipstick. It is a little bit darker. I really have been loving medium toned nudes over the last year or so, and am super happy I've added this to my collection.

Kat Von D Lolita Everlasting Lipstick
I think this is my favourite liquid lipstick ever. The shade is so gorgeous and perfect for everyday. I only have a deluxe size sample of this product, and will have to purchase the full size very soon.

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara
I picked a mini of this up to give it a try. I actually wasn't expecting to love this mascara as much as I do. This mascara is great at curling and separating the lashes.

Tarte Lights Camera Lashes Mascara 
I got this mascara in a gift set of Tarte products from Christmas. Over the years I have heard good things about this mascara, and I have to agree with them. I love layering this mascara on top of the Benefit Roller Lash. This is a great thickening mascara.

Benefit the POREfessional Primer
This primer is amazing to use one my nose. I wear glasses, and I find with this primer, makeup transfer on my glasses is more than halved! Makeup transfer with glasses always discourages me, but I am so happy to have found a product that is able to reduce this. This primer also keeps product on my nose for much longer - when I don't use this product, makeup always fades super quickly on my nose.

MAC Lightscapade Mineralise Skinfinish
I think this is the most natural highlight I own, and I love it for everyday wear in the office. I picked up this highlight maybe two years ago after trying Soft & Gentle - which was seriously hyped in the beauty community, and to be honest - I just don't get it. Up until the last couple of months, I had hardly reached for this highlight. I tried it one day and was seriously wowed by how natural and glowy it looked on my cheeks.

The Body Shop Ionic Clay Mask 
I have been breaking out quite badly over the last couple of months - and this is something I have never experienced in my life. I love to use this mask as a spot treatment. I tend to leave it on for quite a bit to dry out pimples, and it works quite well.

Australis Take Me On Tour Contouring & Highlighting Palette 
The contour shade in this palette has become my everyday contour shade. Absolutely perfect for my light complexion.


And those are all the products I have been loving over the last couple of months!

Products I Regret Buying 2015

One of my favourite videos to watch on YouTube are products I regret buying videos, so I thought I'd put up a post on products I regret buying. In no shape or form is my word gospel, but these following products are products that really didn't work for me. It may be the colour, or the formulation, but here are my thoughts on the products I regret buying.


L'Oreal True Match Foundation
I really wish this foundation worked for me, but unfortunately I think my skin is too dry for this to work. The colour is fine but it just clings to my dry patches.

Australis Face and Body Tint
When this foundation was released, many believed it would be a dupe for the MAC Face & Body foundation. Unfortunately, it is not. Should you try to layer this product at all, it balls up. Do not recommend, and have only used it the one time.

Bourjois Happy Light Luminous Serum Primer
I have used a significant amount of this primer, and it is super moisturising. Unfortunately, it made me break out every single time I used it. I like the primer but not enough to have pimples. It did take me a while to realise I was breaking out because of this primer.

Rimmel BB Cream in Light
This BB cream had a strange tone to it. It reminds me of the original Garnier BB Cream, which I wasn't a fan of (love the one for combo to oily skin, though!). This BB cream comes out grey toned but once blended goes quite orange. Doesn't match my skin at all.

MAC Studio Fix Liquid Foundation
I used to adore this foundation, but I regret purchasing a second bottle once I had used up the first. Since I first tried this foundation, my skin has definitely become dryer. This foundation does not work well with my skin at all anymore.



Revlon Photoready Powder in Translucent 
This powder has shimmer in it. No matter how little you use, you can see glitter on your face. Not a fan of this powder at all unfortunately.

MAC Soft and Gentle Mineralize Skinfinish 
This is an annoying one. Everyone seems to love this product, but I find it too gritty. I do occasionally pull it out and try to use it, but for the most part I find myself asking 'why did you ever purchase this?' It might work better on more medium skin tones, but for us fair girls, I would recommend picking up MAC Lightscapade instead. On a brighter side, this Mineralise Skinfinish does work good as an eyeshadow.

MAC Studio Fix Powder 
I have used a lot of this powder, and that was before I noticed my skin going very very dry. This powder is heavy duty - when I went to MAC (about two years ago now) and the lady suggested this powder, I should have really done my research and told her I wasn't down with the super full coverage face. The flashback on this powder is not flattering at all.


Revlon Lip Butter in Peach Parfait 
I love the Revlon Lip Butter's for the most part, but this one is basically glitter in a tube - and this is not a look I like on my lips at all. The colour is gorgeous swatched, but once it is on the lips you can feel how chunky the glitter is.

And those are the products I regret buying!

Empties/Products I'm Chucking Out #4

I have a ton of empties this time! I even had to break the photos up into categories. Let's start with hair.


VO5 Hot Oil Give Me Moisture Treatments
I purchased these awhile ago, and I forgot about them. There was only four in the pack, but I honestly don't think they did too much for my hair. Probably won't repurchase these, but I'm open to trying other hot oil treatments. 

Edward Beale Argon Oil Leave-In Treatment
I like this leave in treatment, and I have mentioned it in a previous Favourites post, long ago. I definitely do need to repurchase this. 

Schwarzkopf Normal Balance Leave-In Treatment
I've had this treatment for a while, it took forever to use up. I finally used it up, yay! This was okay, but I don't think it did anything magical for my hair. I would not repurchase. 

Clear Total Nourishing Care Nourishing Shampoo 50mL
I bought this small size when I went to Canberra in April (eek!) I also had the conditioner, but I'm not too sure where it went. 

Batiste Original Dry Shampoo (x2) 
My favourite dry shampoo, just not favourite scent. These were only $4, so I bought quite a few of these. Would repurchase the Blush scent (and I have!) 


Peace, Love and Juicy Couture Shower Gel
This was a shower gel I got with the matching perfume, and it smelt nice, but I have dry skin and it wasn't the best for my easily irritated skin.

Daiso Detergent for Puff and Sponge 
This stuff is awesome at cleaning beauty sponges, but it goes super quickly. I have repurchased two of these recently, but I will only designate it to cleaning sponges. It's only $2.80 as well, which is awesome!

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion
I love this moisturiser. I'm considering purchasing once I've used up all the other moisturisers I own.

Formula 10.0.6 Deep Down Detox Mud Mask
I love this mask. I bought the sample size to try, but I've already bought the full size. I love the smell of this mask.

QV Face Moisturising Day Cream
This was an okay day cream, but it's not a favourite. Probably won't repurchase this.

Woolworths Select Acetone-Free Nail Polish Remover 
When you have acrylics, acetone-free is your friend. This nail polish remover did the job.

Vaseline Total Moisture Dry Skin Moisturising Lotion
This is my favourite body moisturiser. Since finishing this up, I have purchased another, and it is nearly finished up. Will be repurchasing again.

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Bomblicious Perfumed Shower Gel 
This came with a gift set of one bottle of Flowerbomb I had. It was a nice shower gel to use because it smelt like Flowerbomb.

Rimmel Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover 
I love this eye make-up remover. I have a Maybelline one at the moment, which I don't like very much, so when that finishes I will be repurchasing this.



Rexona Sexy Deodorant 
Favourite deodorant. Always repurchase. 

Rexona Cotton Fresh Deoderant 
This was okay. Favourite brand of deodorant, just not my favourite scent. 

Clinique Turnaround Overnight Radiance Moisturiser (x2)
I got these sample sizes this year I think, and I took one to England to use as a night moisturiser. It worked well, but I have other night moisturisers I prefer. 

Alpha Keri Ointment 
I use this to calm my eczema and irritated skin. I've repurchased it, and I would repurchase it again. It's thick, so I ideally use it at nighttime. 

Neutrogena Sugar Scrub Body Exfoliator
This smelt like citrus, and I enjoyed it. I still have a bit of a Soap & Glory one to use up, and I just purchased a Lush one, but I would consider repurchasing this after I use those two up. 

Skin Wisdom Instant Benefit Peel Off Face Mask
This was a face mask I brought back from England. I liked it, but I don't think I'll be able to purchase it anytime soon.

Lush Ultrabalm
This stuff is awesome for eczema, dry and itchy skin. I have repurchased, but I don't know where my second tub has gone so I may have to go out and get another one. 

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Perfume 
This is my favourite perfume. For my birthday, I received another bottle. This will forever be a repurchase. If you haven't smelled this perfume, you need to. 


Swisspers Make Up Remover Pads 
These did the job.

BeautyCareCo Makeup Remover Pads 
These are okay makeup remover pads, I really don't have much of a preference.

Priceline Cosmetics Set 
This set came with same pads, cotton tips, it was a really nice combination of things. Next time I'm in Priceline I might pick up another one.

Swisspers Naturals Original Facial Cleansing Wipes and Swisspers Naturals Green Tea Cleansing Wipes 
I like both the Original and Green Tea wipes, both feel nice on my skin. After I use up the ones I currently have, I'm going to go back to purchasing these.

Johnson's Daily Essentials Refreshing Facial Cleansing Wipes 
You can get a bulk pack of these from Costco, and I recently picked some up. I'm realising now that maybe these are too harsh on my skin, so after I use up the packets I have I'm going to go back to buying the Swisspers Natural face wipes.


Avene Hydrance Rich Creme
I got this sample from Priceline a while ago, and this was a good moisturiser. I may have to go purchase this, as my skin is super dry at the moment.

Australis Ready Set Go Finishing Powder in True Translucent 
This was an okay setting powder, but I much prefer the Face of Australia powder.

Elf Lengthening and Defining Mascara 
Used this somewhat as a brow gel, although it stayed in my drawer for the longest time. Wouldn't repurchase, love the Essence brow gel.

Australis Eyeshadow Primer 
This was the first eyeshadow primer I ever bought. If you don't have oily eyelids, I recommend it. It did a good enough job, but I have since found other eye primers that work better for me.

Maybelline The Falsies Mascara
Favourite mascara. When I get through the million mascaras I have, I will repurchase.

1000 Hour Metallic Nailz 
These are those mirrored nails. When I was attempting to clean out my nail polish stash (which failed), I found these. The nails that fit my nails are all used up, so into the bin it goes.


I've even used up some nail polish. I've now found my holy grail top coat, so I am trying to get rid of all the others I have in my collection. 

Essence Nail Art Express Dry Drops
I thought this would be like the OPI equivalent, but it's not. Would not repurchase, too oily and doesn't really dry your polish quickly. 

Rimmel 60 Seconds Top Coat
This is my second favourite top coat. I repurchased another one before trying Seche Vite, but after I use that up I probably won't repurchase it. 

OPI Start to Finish Base and Top Coat (x2)
This was an okay base coat, but not my favourite top coat. Both have dried up really badly, so I need to throw them out. 

OPI Natural Base Coat 
I love this base coat, definitely a favourite. I will repurchase this is the near future. 

OPI RapiDry Top Coat (mini)
I don't like RapiDry. This lasted only a few uses because it is a small bottle and it dried up a little. Would not repurchase. 


Eylure Katy Perry Lashes in Sweetie Pie 
These, from memory, were quite natural lashes. 

NYC Glamour Eyelashes
I got these lashes when I was in England. I actually don't remember much of what these looked like, so I don't think they were all too special. 

And those are all the empties I have! I'm quite happy with what I've gone through the last two months. Thanks for reading, and if you haven't, please follow me on Bloglovin'

Shop My Stash #1 - How Did It Go?


This week has been quite hectic for me, I've worked more than I usually do so in those cases I like to stick to what I know and using these products hasn't been on the top of my list (see my first Shop My Stash post here). However, one of the products I have used on a daily basis, and that is the Vivo Cheeky Cream Blusher in Bloom. It isn't the longest lasting product I've ever used, but if I paired it with a powder blush I'm sure it would last much longer. I've enjoyed using my fingers to place the product on my cheeks, and then blend it out with my Sigma F50 Duo Fibre Brush - which makes me happy because I'm getting some use out of this brush! I hardly touch it.
The Coastal Scents Eclipse Palette on the other hand, is a product I really don't like. Not because it is bad or anything, but the concealers are really pink based (the lighter ones, at least) and it doesn't work for me well. I'd then have to apply foundation on top of this concealer to match me better. It is a good palette, and I think I'll include it in my kit (when I start doing freelance work) because it is a good, all-rounder palette. I did try the darker shades out as a contour, using my beloved MAC 130 Brush, and it worked well. But for day to day, it's just too much work doing a cream contour (it has been this week, at least).
The MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter is another product that didn't work well for me. I have the same problem with MAC Soft and Gentle - while they both look lovely swatched, I don't like pinkish highlighters. I love theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer because it is more of a yellow champagne and it works well. Pink and me just don't mix.


I ended up finishing two of the products (kind of), which makes me happy! When I use up a make up product, I feel accomplished! I've had the Australis Ready Set Go Finishing Powder in True Translucent since last year, and I'm happy to have used it up. When I was half way through this, I discovered the Face of Australia Translucent Loose Powder, which I adore as an under eye setting powder. This isn't a horrible powder, it is pretty good! I'm happy to have used this up to make some room in my makeup drawers. The Australis Eyeshadow Primer I have had for probably two years. The bottle is at the point where it doesn't distribute much product, and I've had it for a while so I figure it's time it went. This is a good eyeshadow primer, it was the first eyeshadow primer I purchased, and if you're in Australia or New Zealand I recommend this primer!

And that is all for my first Shop My Stash. I'm excited for next week's Shop My Stash - I might discover I product I will really enjoy, like the Vivo Cream Blusher!

Shop My Stash #1

It has recently come to my attention that I own way too many products. I like sticking to some products, but I need to work on reducing the size of my stash so I've come up with this idea. Every week, I'll go through my draws and pick out 5 items that I have to use that week - blush, an eyeshadow, or an eyeshadow palette, a lipstick, highlighter, bronzer, nail polish - anything! On Mondays I'll post about which products I have chosen, and on Sunday I'll give a review of how it went.

Here are the products I've chosen for my first Shop My Stash.


Australis Ready Set Go Finishing Powder True Translucent 
I've had this powder for a while, and it's about finished. I have dry skin, so I only really use powder to set under my eyes. The container is getting to the point where I can't get product out, so maybe by the end of the week I'll have used it up. 


Coastal Scents Eclipse Palette
I reviewed this back in April (see review here). I have used it, but it's not the best because it isn't really creamy - it needs to be warmed up with your hands. I've had some pimples pop up, so this will be good to use to cover those up. 


Vivo Cheeky Cream Blusher in Bloom
I'm not really the biggest on blush, but I'm going to try. I love this blush colour, it's a nice pinky peach and very suitable for spring. I find cream blush is better suited for me at the moment because it is more subtle than powder. 


Australis Eyeshadow Primer
This was the first eyeshadow primer I bought. It's okay, but like the Australis Finishing Powder I just want to use it up. I use a base, but I always use primer beforehand. 


MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlight 
I bought this highlight last time I ordered from MUA (see haul here). I haven't really used it, because at the same time I purchased theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer which I absolutely love. But I will try use this over the next week and see how I go.

Empties/Products I'm Chucking Out #2


Not going to lie, I have a LOT of empties for this post. So on to the post!

Johnson's Baby Skincare Wipes
I just like having baby wipes, I don't really remember much about these wipes, and I don't really have a preference with baby wipes so I don't know if I'll repurchase these.

Heinz Baby Basics Wipes
I hated the smell of these wipes. It's apparently a "fruity" scent, but it is horrible. Will not be repurchasing these.

YSL Parisienne Sample 
I LOVED THE SMELL OF THIS PERFUME. Absolutely loved it. I got two samples of this perfume when I purchased by YSL Rouge Volupte Shine (a review will be coming soon). I'm trying not to use the other sample so I have a reminder to buy it when I get back from overseas.

Dove Colour Care Treatment Mask
I love this mask. I use it about once a week, and it makes my hair feel so nice. I bought another tub of this, although in the Heat Protectant form, but I'll definitely repurchase this one when I'm done with that.

Johnson's Daily Essentials Refreshing Facial Cleansing Wipes for Normal Skin
I used up four of these! I love these face wipes, they are my absolute favourite. Always repurchase.

Lady Gaga the Fame Perfume 
I loved this scent, and I will definitely repurchase this once I'm back from overseas... although it is on sale at Priceline for $25 so I might just make an exception.

Revlon New Complexion Oil Control Makeup
I think this bottle is just old. I used this in the summer (even though I have dry skin) because it was darker, and if this is still available I wouldn't repurchase. I didn't really like this foundation all too much.

Australis Fresh and Flawless Pressed Powder in Natural 
I repurchased one of these during Priceline's 40% off sale, but my skin has become so dry I can't set my liquid foundation. I love this powder though, but I guess it only works for me in the warmer months.

Schwarzkopf Heidi's Heat Styles Heat Protectant
I've already repurchased a bottle of this, it's my favourite heat protectant spray.

St Ives Apricot Scrubs
This was a small bottle I bought from Priceline for around $3. I liked this scrub, and will probably repurchase it.

Nivea Firming Body Lotion 
I've had this body lotion for a very long time. It got to the point were I was forcing myself to use it. Probably won't repurchase.

Nivea Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Night Cream 
This is my favourite night cream. When I went to repurchase they were out of stock with this one so I bought a different night cream. I love the smell of this one for some reason.

Formula 10.0.6 One Smooth Operator Pore Clearing Face Scrub (Zinc + Oat + Pumice) 
This was a good scrub. I'd probably repurchase it, but I wasn't really a fan of the smell.

BeautyCareCo Makeup Remover Pads
Essential products. I've used up two. I'd repurchase these, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go into Kmart just for these.

Swisspers 50 Cotton Tips Travel Pack
I recently got my tragus repierced, so I need cotton tips to clean it. I bought this travel pack when I went to Canberra in April. They were a good travel size.

Terry White Chemists Nail Polish Remover Acetone Free
Because I have acrylics now, I need acetone free remover. I like this one, and have repurchased it over and over when I've had acrylics.

Batiste Blush Dry Shampoo 
Favourite dry shampoo ever. I will repurchase this over and over. And they've now got an even bigger bottle which makes me happy.

Garnier Fructis Dry Shampoo Pure Volume 
FINALLY. FINALLY. FINALLY. This was the first dry shampoo I ever tried, and I hated it. The product is fine, but the smell is just horrible, and the idea of using this in my hair just isn't a pleasant one. I've finally used this up, and I will never repurchase.

Rexona Deodorant Sexy Fragrance
This is my favourite deodorant. I have two empties of this, one in the new package and one in the old. Always repurchase.

DeMert Nail Enamel Dryer
I love this spray to quickly dry my nail polish. I will continue to repurchase.

Target Essentials 200 Cotton Tips 
I liked the container of this, mostly. Easy to refill it.

And those are all the empties I've accumulated over the past two months! I'm so happy I can now chuck the bag out!

Empties/Products I'm Chucking Out #1

These are over the last two-three months or so - I keep forgetting to do this post. I don't think I'll do it monthly, because I don't go through products that quickly. But I think I've hoarded enough empties to do this post.


Australia 3 in 1 Wipes
I hated these wipes. I still have half of them left, but I couldn't use them. The wipes are extremely dry, not moisturising at all. My skin has become really dry lately, and I could not use these wipes at all. I will not be repurchasing these, ever.

Swisspers 25 Facial Cleansing Wipes
I love these face wipes. These Swisspers ones and the pink Johnson's ones are my favourite. It does the job, and the wipes smell nice which is a plus. I may repurchase when I run out of the wipes I have now (I went to Costco and got a 6 pack of the Johnson's face wipes for $20, which is awesome!).

Target Essentials 80 Cotton Pads 
These cotton pads did the job, and I had no issues with them. I don't really go into Target much, but next time I am in I probably will repurchase these.

ELF Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF15 in Pink Kiss 
I hate lip glosses. I hate glossy lips, to be honest. I wasn't a fan of this, but it came in a bulk lot of items I purchased last year that had a few products I wanted to try. I don't use this at all, so I'm just going to throw it out. I would not repurchase this, or any other of the ELF Super Glossy Lip Shines.

Clinique High Impact Curling Mascara in 01 Black
This is a baby sample of my favourite mascara, I love the wand of this mascara and will definitely be repurchasing when I run out of the full size. This has dried out, but I don't think there was much product left anyway. I kind of forgot that I had this mini sample.

Johnson's Moisturising Day Cream
I mentioned this in my March Favourites. I love this day cream, have repurchased it since and will repurchase it again.

Girlz Only Dry Shampoo in Party Nights
This dry shampoo is only $2 at Target, which is amazing. I bought this a while ago, and I can't really remember the scent. It worked well, but the nozzle broke and it still has a bit of product left inside. I might try some other Dry Shampoo's from Girlz Only (I think there is 3 scents), but I wouldn't rush out to repurchase it.

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Blush
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE DRY SHAMPOO EVER. It is a little pricey, but it works wonderfully and the scent is my favourite. I have repurchased it since I ran out, and I've nearly run out of that one, but I will repurchase this over and over again.

Redwin Sensitive Skin Vitamin E Cream
I use this as an all-over body moisturiser, and I love it. I love the smell, and it's good at moisturising. I've already repurchased this since running out.

Maybelline Expert Eyes Eyeshadow Quad in Island Shimmer
This product isn't very pigmented. It is quite shimmery, so the only way I think it could be used is as an inner corner highlight. I don't really like it, nor think I need it. I might see if my Mum wants it, but otherwise, it's being thrown out.

Benefit Erase Paste in Light
I decided to depot my Erase Paste because I thought there would be a bit more product in there to last me another month or so. I'm so glad I did, because there was so much product left! I've depotted it into a Clinique eye cream jar, and there is quite a lot of product in there. When I run out of it, I will be repurchasing. It is a great under eye concealer.

Australis Primer
I got this in a set four or so months ago. For $15, I got the Australis Ready Set Go Translucent Finishing Powder, the Australis Makeup Finishing Spritz and this primer. I've tried this primer before, and didn't like it, but the set was worth it as the two products I wanted alone would have cost almost $30 - with the primer, over $40. I used the primer up, but I wouldn't repurchase.

Fennel Acetone Free Conditioning Nail Polish Remover
I picked this up in a chemist a couple of months ago. When I have acrylics, I use acetone free nail polish remover so it doesn't destroy the acrylic. This nail polish remover was good, but I wouldn't go out of my way to repurchase this particular brand.

Katy Perry Purr Perfume 100 mL
I've had this bottle for almost a year, and have just finished it. I love the smell of this perfume, and have already repurchased a smaller sized bottle. The only complaint is the packaging design - I have dropped this perfume a million times, it has fallen over a million times, and in the picture you can see that the bottom has actually chipped. Nonetheless, I love this perfume.

Revlon Skinlights Face Illuminator in 01 Golden Lights
I have had this for about five years I think. It's still got a ton of product, but it is old, and I think I should chuck it out.

Ulta3 Perfect Finish Loose Powder in Champagne
This colour is too dark, and too orange for me. I probably used it once, but it was too dark. Time to chuck it.

Maybelline Fit Me Pressed Powder in 115 
I loved the Maybelline Fit Me range last year. I've been through two or three of these powders. I've fallen in love with the MAC Studio Fix Powder though, so I probably won't repurchase. However, this is a very good powder for setting foundation.

And that's it for my first empties post! Thanks for reading xo
