S/S 2016 empties

I haven't done empties post for a while now and in that time I've finished more than 30 items. So here is the list of most recent ones that I finished since October. 1. Guerlain Terracotta Light Bronzer in  02 Blondes My overall impression - I did a review of this bronzer back in 2013 and you can read it  here . I did enjoy using it and never got sick of it. It lasted me over two years as well and it was used several times per week. It was super sheer yet it gave my complexion a nice glow without making my skin look too shimmery or dirty. Gorgeous compact however broke at the hinge after few months so I couldn't take it anywhere with me. Would I buy it again? - Yes, definitely! It is one of the most natural-looking bronzers I've used. I hope Guerlain won't discontinue it but I wish that packaging would be a bit sturdier. 2 + 3. MAC Brow Pencil in Fling and Lingering   My overall impression - Precise and long-lasting brow pencil that doesn...

Another lot of 10 beauty related items was finished by me since February plus I threw away a huge bag of expired and old make-up and skincare. I have been good and haven't really purchased anything apart from perfume. 1. L'Occitane Essence Sublime  My overall opinion - Pleasant serum with semi-matte finish and gorgeous subtle floral scent that instantly absorbed into my skin and make it velvety and soft. It came in my glass pump bottle and I used it very quickly (mainly as a make-up base). Would I buy it again?- Yes, I was very impressed and it suits my skin well. 2. Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Foundation My overall opinion - Creamy foundation with medium coverage and natural radiant finish. Would I buy it again?-Not sure. While I like the finish, texture and how it felt on my skin the lasting power wasn't that great. 3. Vichy Normaderm Micellar Water My overall opinion -I remember when I first used it I was surpr...

Another 10 items were finished by me recently. My collection is looking much better than before however I had few slip ups when Priceline and Strawberrynet had sales :) 1. Sohum Gingersnap Roll-on Perfume   My overall impression - It smelled very nice and gourmand, however the scent didn't last very long. I liked layering it with other fragrances to give them a spicy note. It also disappeared fairly quickly (mine was a roll-on, not spray like pictured), I suspect it evaporated. Would I buy it again? - Possibly not, unless the lasting power has been improved. 2. Clinique Superbalanced Powder My overall impression - the concept looked quite good - you "shave" pressed powder so you get fresh product each time you use it. However it gave very boring and flat finish, although coverage was ok. Would I buy it again? - No, you can get very similar Rimmel powder for about 1/3 of the price. I prefer either very translucent finishing powders or more opaque one...
