A Trio Of Empties #3 | Eyeko Skinny Liner, Bioderma and Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soap in Lavender
Hello! It’s time for another trio of empties post, where I give you a mini
review on three products I have used up and if I’d repurchase or not.
1. Eyeko Skinny Liquid Liner |
£12.00
I got this eyeliner free with a magazine and I was so excited to try it out
because I’d heard good things about it. I have a love-hate relationship with
this pen. On the one hand it’s nib is perfect for a cat-flick with ease. The end
is great for a thin line but you can achieve a thicker line with ease too. At
first it provided an opaque line with one sweep of the pen, but within 6/7 uses
I found myself having to go over it in a few place. But the main reason I
disliked this liner? Because it never lasted completely throughout the day. It
seemed to fade and that just isn’t acceptable for such a pricy item, although I
didn’t pay for it I still felt as annoyed as I would if I had paid for it.
According to other reviews this is a bit of a hit and miss, sometimes it dries
out too quick, for others it works great.
Repurchase: No. The Soap & Glory liner works better and
it’s half the price!
2. Bioderma Sensibio H2O – Micelle
Solution | £4.80 £3.19
I finally got around to trying the iconic Bioderma and I 100% understand the
hype! It is the most gentle yet effective makeup remover and it leaves my skin
feeling great. Refreshed and non-greasy or filmy like oil based makeup removers
do. I like using micellar waters when I’ve got a lot of eye-makeup on or when I
can’t be bothered to do a double cleanse over the sink with my oil and cleanser.
A little on a cotton pad removes the bulk of my makeup and prepares my skin for
a thorough cleanse with a hot flannel. The small bottle was a great tester size
and now it’s on sale I’ll be stocking up on the 250ml one because it’s great for
a quick cleanse in the morning or for correcting any makeup mistakes when you’re
in a rush. This is the best micellar water that I’ve tried to date, great for
sensitive skins and so easily available in the U.K now I couldn’t be
happier.
Repurchase: Yes I would. It does what it says without a fuss
and isn’t too pricy either.
3. Dr. Bronner Organic Lavender Castile Liquid Soap 236ml |
£5.50
I raved about this liquid soap in this post where I shared how I clean my makeup
brushes. This is the second bottle that I’ve bought and the scent was lovely and
calming. Dr Bronner’s magic soap and a bazillion different uses (well they claim
there are 18 but who’s really counting?), you can use them as shower-gels,
household cleaners, shampoos and more. What I like most about the liquid soaps
are they’re totally organic, I know my brushes (and my skin) aren’t being
exposed to any harsh chemicals which extends their lifetime. Oh and they’re
super affordable and easy to find through ASOS! I already have another bottle –
the almond one I believe and I’m loving it!
Repurchase: Yes! Already have done, this is a total staple
and I’ll never use another soap or cleanser on my makeup brushes again (baby
shampoo isn’t strong enough!).
you! Check out my first one in which I talk about a body wash, facial wash and
daily moisturiser HERE. In my second empties you’ll find a quick nail polish remover, a
lush scrub and a NUXE product HERE.
