Beauty Goodies from the Easter Show

Anyone that lives in Sydney knows what the Easter Show is. I haven't been for years, and was super excited to go this year! I spent way too much money, but here are a few of the beauty goods I got in some of the show bags.

I did purchase the ModelCo tanning show bag, which I was very excited about. 

Schick Hydro Silk Razor
Razors - a necessity. The inclusion of this in a show bag was completely perfect, and I will be trying this out very soon.

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Blush Mini 
Oh, my absolute favourite dry shampoo. And now I have two mini cans I can chuck in my handbag or gym bag. I'm very glad the Easter Show included sample size of this scent, because it is the best! (and if you haven't smelt it before, do yourself a favour and try it out).

Vaseline Healthy Radiance Anti-Ageing Lotion
I love Vaseline body lotions. My favourite is the yellow one for dry skin - I've recently purchased the spray bottle version which I absolutely love (ooh, spoiler alert for favourites). Happy to give this one a go, and the sample size is so adorable - would be great for travel as well!

Le Tan Fast Tan in Deep Bronze
The 'deep bronze' scares me, but nevertheless, I will give this one a go. From what I understand, this is a spray bottle, which is an interesting concept (to me, at least - my tanning experience is basically lotion) would be pretty useful in getting the areas I can't reach on my body - like my back. I will give this one a go soon.

Rosken Skin Repair Dry Skin Cream
Last year I picked this up and when I went to England I gave it to my Nanna because she has dry skin too. I really do like this, so I'm happy to have samples of it again. I have so many lotions, I need to cut down on the amount of product I do have - but samples are always great!

People for Plants Organic Lip Balm in Peppermint and Evening Primrose
Peppermint lip balms are my absolute favourite - they leave your lips feeling so refreshed! Very happy to add this to my collection of lip balms, and I think I have found a new favourite - after my beloved Paw Paw Ointment, of course!

Simple Kind To Eyes Eye Make-Up Corrector Pen
I have seen this in the shops before, and the concept is very interesting. Can't wait to try this out.

DB Kohl Pencil in Black
Another kohl pencil to the collection. I'm not the biggest kohl pencil fan, so I'll probably end up giving this to my mum or something.

ModelCo Super Tan Instant Self-Tan in Dark

Why do they have to be in dark? I'm a bit scared to use this, but it says to leave on for two hours so I may cut that time and hopefully not go super dark. 

ModelCo Shine Ultra Lip Gloss in Strip Tease 

I'm not the biggest lip gloss fan, but have recently started branching out into the world of lipgloss. This is a nice peachy pink colour that would work great on top of a nude or a pink. 

ModelCo Tan Remove Self-Tan Removal Mitt

I've never had a self-tan removal mitt before (to be honest, didn't know they made them), but I like the concept. This is an exfoliating mitt, which would be good in prepping the skin for fake tan as well. 

ModelCo Fat Lash Volumising Black Mascara

I am on the hunt for the perfect mascara (I feel like this will be a lifetime mission). The brush of this reminds me of a bigger version of Benefit They're Real, so I'm super excited about that! Won't be using this for a while, though, because I do have quite a few mascaras to get through. 

ModelCo Glow Baby Glow Bronzer

This is probably the biggest bronzer I will ever own, but who can resist bronzer? It is a shimmery bronzer though, so I'll probably reserve use for this on night's out or in the summer months. Super happy to have another bronzer, though (bronzer is one of my absolute favourite makeup products). 

ModelCo Blend Buffing Mitt 

Tanning mitts are always useful and will always get used. I did just open up a new tanning mitt, but I am happy to have another addition to the family.

And those are the majority of products I did get! There were quite a few samples included as well, which is always exciting.

Thanks for reading,

Empties/Products I'm Chucking Out #6

I haven't done an empties post since last December - wow. I have used quite a few products up over the past four months - even a few makeup products, which is quite surprising for me!

Schwarzkopf Heidi's Heat Styles Heat Protectant Spray

This is my go-to heat protectant, and I have already repurchased.

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil

I absolutely despised the scent of this (I love the Cocoa Butter lotion) and it took me ages to use this up! I think I will just stick with Bio Oil. 

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Blush

My favourite dry shampoo. I have repurchased, and got two mini's of these from the Easter Show! 

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Cherry

Not a big fan of the scent. When I was in England last year, I purchased the full size of this because it was ridiculously cheap and I wanted to try out the scent. I used it up because it was a free sample, but I would not purchase this scent. The dry shampoo does work well though, it is the scent that turns me off it!

Nivea Moisturising Fluid SPF 15 

I liked this moisturiser - quite liquidy, blended in nicely - but there are others I prefer. This comes in a relatively small tube, so it is good for travel - which is why I bought it - I took it overseas last year. 

Benefit POREfessional Sample

I got this sample from a Benefit counter around Christmas, and only recently tried it out. Because I wear glasses, makeup tends to move around my nose, and I used this primer on my nose and it worked quite well! I probably will end up buying this, but not at the moment. 

Nivea Rich Regenerating Night Cream

I'm not too sure about regenerating, but this is a rich night cream and keeps my skin quite hydrated. Would repurchase, I prefer this one to the other Nivea night cream I am using at the moment. 

Beauty Care Co Nail Polish Remover Acetone Free 

I liked this nail polish remover, relatively cheap and because it is acetone free safe to use on acrylics. Would repurchase. 

Starlet Nail Polish Remover with Vitamin E 

I liked this nail polish remover as well. Relatively cheap, and gets the job done. 

SK-II Facial Treatment Essence

I got this sample (and another one) last year, and I liked it. It was moisturising, but I didn't really see a difference. I do have the other sample still, so maybe I will. 

Maybelline Clean Express Eye and Lip Makeup Remover

This was one of the makeup removers that is half liquid and have oil, and you mix it up. I like the concept, but this made my face so greasy! Would not repurchase this, there are other makeup removers that work much better. 

NYX Dewy Finish Setting Spray

I like this setting spray, and I have repurchased it. Next I want to try the Urban Decay Setting Spray for dry skin, but that will have to wait for now. 

Pure Acetone 

I picked this up from a nail store, it was about $5 and pure acetone works great at removing nail polish (who would have known!). I will end up repurchasing this when I return to that store. 

L'Oreal Youth Code Youth Booster Serum

I liked this serum a lot, and I probably will repurchase this.

Natio Ageless Illuminating Primer (x2)
I've used up two of these primers in the last four months, and I do like this primer. It is quite hydrating, and I enjoyed using it, but I think there is a better primer out there for me.

Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes
I've had this mascara since July last year, and it is time to bin it. I did like this mascara, the brush was nice, but I don't think I can justify the price of this mascara. Maybe next time I travel overseas, I'll pick it up duty free.

Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara 
I love this mascara, and when I get around to going back to the store that sells this in Australia, I will stock up on a few. I have previously done a review on this mascara, which you can view here.

Covergirl Clump Crusher in Black Brown
This is another mascara I liked using. I'm not too sure if I will repurchase this one as I have found other mascaras I love since, but I do recommend this one for separating lashes and for lengthening.

Essence Lash and Brow Gel Mascara
My holy grail for setting brows. I have repurchased this over and over again, and will continue to repurchase.

Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in 01 Ivory
I used this up a while ago, and I did enjoy it. But I used it up so quickly - maybe under two weeks. I have found things that work better, but this was a good concealer for highlighting under the eyes.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in 52 Vanilla
I love this foundation. I need to repurchase it, but that will have to wait. Light to medium coverage, and great for dry skin.

Garnier BB Cream for Combination to Oily Skin in Light
I love this BB cream! Although it is for combo to oily skin, I find it works well on my dry skin, and I much prefer it to the original Garnier BB cream. Since using this up, I have repurchased another tube.

Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat 
My holy grail top coat. Have repurchased this, and will continue to repurchase. This stuff dries super quick, and if you haven't tried it - I'd recommend it.

Urban Decay Original Primer Potion
I've had this sample for ages. I'm not the biggest fan of the original Primer Potion, but I love the matte one (Eden).

Manicare Disposable Mascara Brushes
Love these for coming out the brows. I keep these in my makeup kit as well.

Lush Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub
I adore this shower scrub! So much so that when I repurchased it I bought two. The price is fairly decent for a body scrub, and I adore the smell of this.

Redwin Vitamin E Cream
When I'm sunburnt, I cover myself in this stuff. It is relatively cheap, and works well as a body moisturiser as well. Will repurchase this eventually, probably in the summer time.

Johnson's Moisturising Day Cream
I have mentioned this in previous empties posts, and I do love this moisturiser, but I have found better ones suited for my dry skin. I am still on the hunt for the perfect moisturiser, though.

Eylure Katy Perry Color Pop Lashes in Ka-Pow! 
From memory, these are the purple lashes - which I wore for my 21st! I loved these lashes, although I wish they made them in just normal black. I absolutely adore the Katy Perry lashes by Eylure.

Swisspers Naturals Cucumber Facial Cleansing Wipes
I don't really remember these in particular, but the Swisspers Naturals are my favourite kind of face wipes. I would repurchase these.

Swisspers Naturals Green Tea Facial Cleaning Wipes (x2) 
I prefer these out of the bunch of Swisspers Naturals range. I love the range, and will continue to repurchase these wipes.

Johnson's Daily Essentials Nourishing Facial Cleansing Wipes for Dry Skin
These may be for dry skin, but they did not work well with my dry skin. I found them quite harsh, and I would not repurchase these.

Simple Kind To Skin Cleansing Facial Wipes
I don't really remember these wipes all too much, but I don't remember having a bad experience with them, so I probably would repurchase these if they were on sale.

Daiso Eyelashes (x2)
Here I have two pairs of Daiso lashes. I like Daiso lashes - they are cheap ($2.80) and have some nice styles. Not my favourite kind of eyelashes, but for the price, you really can't go wrong.

Beauty Care Co Makeup Remover Pads
Always in my empties, always a repurchase.

And those are my empties over the last four months! Thanks for reading,
