Skincare Empties

In one corner of my room I have built up a ridiculous amount of empties so I am going to do a series of empties posts as if I do them in one go it may be a bit too much!  Today is Skincare with one make up item thrown in for good measure!  Hope you enjoy!


Caudalie Gentle Cleansing Milk 

This was a lovely cleanser, it is very lightly fragranced although the fragrance disappears within a minute or so.  I felt like about three or four pumps would get the majority of my make up off and I normally following up with a toner or Bio Derma.  Since this bottle ran out I have moved onto a Clarins Cleanser but it just doesn't feel as nice as this one and I intend to repurchase Caudalie Cleansing Milk very soon!

It cost £15 at Space Nk.



Kiehl's Supremely Gentle Eye Make Up Remover

I shan't bang on about this Eye Make Up Remover too much as I know I've raved about it before!  In short though, I love this stuff.  Its lasts for ages - two tiny blobs clean each eye of shadow, liner and mascara!  I wet the cotton wool pad before I apply this as I find it works better that way.  I have already repurchased this!

£17.50 from the Kiehl's shop in Westfield London



Clarins Water Comfort One-Step Cleanser with Peach Essential Water

This bottle was the second bottle of Clarins Water Comfort One-Step Cleanser I had used up and I have to say its a lovely product.  It was especially lovely in summer, a really refreshing cleanser.  I particularly liked the peach fragrance.  I haven't repurchased this due to some advice I got at a Clarins counter.  This cleanser is for normal to dry skin and I am combination and the assistant said to me I should be using the One Step Cleanser for combination skin (which I don't think smells half as nice).  Anyhow, I took her advice but I am not enjoying using it and its made no difference to my skin, if anything my skin has played up a bit since using the Water Purify Cleanser with Mint - I have had a few spots which is very unusual for me.  Plus I miss the lovely peach fragrance!  

Would I repurchase this - maybe but I need to use up my Bioderma Micellar water first!

This cost £19.50 from Boots




Christian Dior Diorskin Nude Natural Glow Radiant Foundation in 010

I bought this foundation on a whim ages ago in Selfridges but it was a brilliant buy.  It became my go to foundation that I was using every single day.  Its a light coverage foundation but I felt it gave me a medium coverage.  The shade 010 was perfect for my pale skin with red undertones, if I applied this with a brush it left my skin looking really flawless.  Did it give me a natural glow?  I would say yes but not so much that it left my combination skin feeling oily.  I would repurchase this again next spring (its a perfect spring/summer foundation), I am currently using the Diorskin Forever Foundation which is nice enough but I think I prefer Nude.

This cost £32 at Selfridges
