October 2013 Empties

I wanted to do a quick round up of the products I finished this month. I don't have too many products this time, but I figured I would share my empties anyways since I enjoy writing these posts so much! :)

Marcelle Xtension Plus Mascara

I was recommended the Marcelle Xtension Plus Mascara by a fellow blogger a few months back, and I have finally got around to trying it! As usual, I got mine in the darkest shade, marketed as "black". For those of you who are not familiar with Marcelle, it is a Canadian cosmetic brand that can be found at the drugstore.

Dove Style + Care Frizz-Proof Cream-Serum

Having naturally wavy hair, it sometimes becomes very unruly and frizzy. On those bad hair days, I've been reaching for the Dove Style + Care Frizz-Proof Cream-Serum. This product is said to tame frizz and add shine, and all I can say is that it has really helped my hair look sleek and effortlessly styled!

E.L.F. Studio Blush in Pink Passion

For some odd reason I have really been into bright pink makeup lately, and had been wanting to try this particular blush by Eyes Lips Face called Pink Passion for years, so when I indulged myself in an online shopping spree, I made sure to add this new found favorite to my basket!

NYX Black Label Lipstick in India

As you may have read in my most recent haul, I was very excited to try out NYX Cosmetics as I've read such rave reviews on a ton of their products from fellow bloggers. One item I was particularly excited to try is the Black Label Lipstick in the shade "India". Shaaanxo, one of my favorite beauty gurus on Youtube, often mentions this lipstick as being among her top favorites, so I knew I had to try it!

Real Techniques Haul | Round 3 - The Expert Face and Setting Brushes

I have done it yet again. I got more makeup brushes (like I need any more right?). The thing is, I just can't resist! Ever since I got my first set of Real Techniques Brushes, I just knew I would eventually end up getting the whole line. Lo and behold, slowly but surely my brush collection is expanding. The most recent additions to my Real Techniques collection are the Expert Face Brush and the Setting Brush. Not surprisingly, I have already grown fond of them as they have quickly been incorporated into my daily makeup routine.

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Nail Polish in "Peach Of Cake"

A new nail polish find that I have been loving as of late is the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure nail polish in the shade "Peach Of Cake". Apart from having a cute name, this stunning peach pastel nail is also perfect for day to day wear. It isn't too bright, so it can still be pulled off after summer in my opinion.The brush is easy to work with as it is rounded at the edges making for little nail polish over spill around the nail bed. The formulation also gets my mark of approval: it isn't too runny nor too thick. With only 2 coats, I get full opacity, and I add a layer of top coat to seal in my manicure.

City Color Cosmetics Collection 4 All Occasion Eye Shadow Palette

This was my first time trying the City Color Cosmetics brand and I have to say I am very impressed! The Collection 4 All Occasion Eye Shadow Palette features 12 vibrant shades that are great to play around with to create more colorful eye looks.

Hit or Miss? Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Bronzer

I'd had my eye out for the Hoola Bronzer by Benefit Cosmetics for quite some time now, and so I finally decided to take the plunge and purchase it. This stuff ain't cheap, priced at C$36.00, but I kept on hearing over and over again just how amazing this bronzer is, so I told myself that my purchase would be justified in the end.
