July / August 2012 Monthly Empties!

So as promised my next post would be a collaborated July and August Monthly Empties. I haven't got many really as most things are about half empty, I'm hoping to have more for the next month. So these are my July and August Empties....

Simple Kind To Skin Purifying Cleansing Lotion
I loved using this Lotion as a Day time moisturiser, it worked great under my makeup. It kept my skin moisturised all day and didn't make me break out. The only thing I didn't like about this product was how you have to squeeze it to get it out, since its only got one hole when I did that I often had access product left over so it kinda wasted most of it. It would be great depoted into a bottle though.

Nivea Smooth Nourishing Hand Cream
I had a larger version of this hand cream featured in my June Empties which you can see here. This is the sample size i got at Christmas or something and only started using it a month or two ago. I loved it! Its definitely helped my nail growth as well as keeping my hands moisturised and in tip top shape. Without it for past few weeks I've definitely seen a change for the worse in my hands and I think I'll have to invest in this again or buy something else.

Barry M 3 In 1 Mascara
This is another product I've had since Christmas but only got round to using it about 3 months ago? This mascara is supposed to give you volume, length and curl. In all honesty I got none of that. Its great for applying to your bottom lashes though, due to the thin, straight, basic wand. I wouldn't deem in worthy of £6.19.

Morrison's Make Sensitive Facial Wipes
My Mum usually gets my Facial / Makeup Remover Wipes for me and she usually just gets what ever. Its like trying to remove your makeup with a Kleenex. I had to use 3 of these things just to get one face of makeup off, were I usually only have to use one. There not thick either , which is another thing I usually look for in a Facial / Makeup Remover Wipe. They tore super easy.

Review: MUA Professional 3 in 1 Contour Eye Pen's!

If your a regular reader of my blog, you will noticed I've given it a makeover. Let me know what you think of it in the comments section below...

Let's set things straight, even though in my monthly favourites I feature pretty much neutral eye shadows and eyeliner. I'm going to be honest, I'm bold eye lover at heart! MUA Pro 3 in 1 Contour Eye Pen's can be purchased from any Superdrug that sells the MUA Pro range or MUA's website, with an amazing price tag of only £1.50.  And I've got two of these babies in Sage and Gunmetal. 

No sharpening needed, you just twist up the black bit at the top of the pen to reveal the product!

Left To Right: Gunmetal, Sage.

MUA Say's: 

"Create the look with this fantastic 3 in1 Contour Eye Pen. The angles of the nib allows you to create different looks whatever your occasion. Add drama by creating big and bold eyes, go glamorous for a soft and sulty effect, or define eyes for an ultra chic finish."

I've only recently started getting into wearing eyeliner again, and these are a easy go to! They glide on super pigmented onto the lid, within a few swipes they build up to fully opaque. The formula is very creamy and soft, almost butter like. I found these lasted pretty much all day on my upper lid and lower lash line, however I'm not certain on the waterline.

I really like the packaging! I especially like how you don't need to sharpen them, as I can be quite lazy when it comes to sharpening eyeliner. I think the matte black packaging, may not look exactly high end, but it certainly doesn't look cheap. My only problem being with these eyeliners is that it doesn't say the shade name on the packaging, so you would have to take the lid off and twist the product up to see what shade it was.

Overall I would highly recommend these eye pens! They're great for popping into your bag and for travelling, the nib allows you to create numerous looks so there's no need to carry around 3 different eyeliners with you. For pigmentation and lasting power you certainly can't complain! For the price these are fantastic, and I think I'll definitely be picking up another on my next travel to Superdrug.
