Clean Out Clear Out #1

Hello Beauty Lovers!!! Hope everyone is well during the Pandemic and remember Stay Safe at home. Hearts goes out to those who are working the front line during the Pandemic to keep our community and world going💖 Having all the time at home, I have clear out some empty bottle and old makeup products that had expired. Enjoy Reading~ 

Body cream is something we use on a daily basics, it's something personal to our own liking. The one on the left is Cle De Peau body cream, consistence is creamy and non-sticky. The sense is quite pleasant but some people may not be fond of it. The one on the right is Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Honey drops body cream, and it contains small yellow honey drops in it. This one is more of an airy flow cream consistence and it smells like green tea which its perfect for spring and summer. The one in the middle is Kerastase Elixir Ultime Originale Hair oil, one of my stable everyday product. I use it every time after i wash and towel dry but BEFORE blow drying my hair. It nourish and give my hair a shiny look. This hair oil is NOT greasy at all and could be use on dry hair to give it more shine without making it look oily. 

 

This Caudalie Moisturizing Toner is either 4th or 5th empty bottle of toner. I mainly use it as a cleaning toner before the rest of my skincare routine or use to soak cotton pads as a simple moisturizing face mask. 

SK-II facial treatment clear lotion is also something i use on a daily basics. It gives a clear canvas to works with the rest of the SK-II line. Dior Dream Skin is to use as either a base under foundation or just as a base individually. I mainly use it as a base individually when i am too lazy to put on a full makeup base. It smooth over the skin nicely and makes your skin look really good. Estee Lauder nutritious radiant energy creme is great for spring and summer nights. Its lightweight which doesn't clot pores and adds radiants to the skin the next morning. This Kiehls Midnight Oil is also a must have in my skincare drawer. It smells so relaxing and not too oily for the skin. I use the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched base as a moisturizer plus base in the morning, It is hydrating enough for the spring and summer time, and i use something different during fall and winter. Korres wild rose night cream is pretty good for someone that just wants a regular night cream. It contains vitamin C with brighting benefit,  but i think you will have to use it longer for the brighting benefit to show.   

 

Lancome absolue soft creme is definitely one of my top3 favorite night creme of all time. It is lightweight but also hydrating with anti-aging benefits, and it smells divine because of the rose extract(not overly rosy). I have oily to normal skin depending on the time of year, but the soft cream works for me all year around. If my skin gets dry during the winter time, i would use a bit more than the usual time. There is also a Rich cream version for beauty lovers with dry skin type. It is on the more expensive side of night cream, but it is totally worth it and you will realized a difference with your skin.  

YSL forever cc primer in Lavender is a correcting primer that contains spf 35 It will go from a light lavender color to glowing clear white brighting color over your skin. They have other color correcting primer and this is a great color correcting primer but there are better primer out there if you don't need the color correcting benefit. Giorgio Armani CC bright moisturizer with spf 35 is basically a cc cream. It evens out skin tone and give a bit of glow to the skin. It is a beautiful base just to use alone or under makeup. Chanel lumiere makeup base works great with Chanel foundations, it also adds a glow from within look. It is one of my repurchase items but the design makes it bit hard to use all the products in the bottle. Lancome UV expert defense 50 is a sunscreen that i love. This is one of their newer formula which it is really light and doesn't clot pores. It made it to my top 3 favorite sunscreen. Guerlian L'Or pure gold makeup base is my favorite makeup base of all time. I believed this is my 5th empty bottle and I would always have a backup in my makeup cabinet at all time. During the hotter months, its hydrating enough not to be too oily which keeps my makeup base on well into hours. During the Cooler months, It is hydrating enough without making my face crack from drying. This primer is on a more expensive side but it is so worth it if you have a problem keeping your makeup base on for a long period of time. FYI: The gold with disappear into your skin as you glide it into your skin. 

Covermark foundation is a popular Japanese brand makeup famous for its foundation. This provides great coverage but it is a light foundation that is so smooth on the skin. The only downside is the package which it is in pot form. The Chanel Vitalumiere aqua foundation is one of my top 3 foundation at all time. You could simply put it on with your fingers for a simple light coverage or use a brush or sponge for more coverage. It is hydrating to the point of not being too oily. Giorgio Armani power fabric is a high coverage foundation that is not drying at all. The texture of the foundation more of a velvety feel. Bobbi Brown Sheer finish pressed setting powder is prefect for ones that needs a prefect finish face base. It sets your foundation in place which being too heavy looking or feeling. Nars concealer is one of my top 3 favorite concealers at all time. It is more on the dry formula side that provides a higher coverage and doesn't glide off the skin too easily. Chanel single eyeshadow in 10 flesh is one of the few empty eyeshadows that i had empty. It is a metallic nude color that is just beautiful over the lid as an everyday eyeshadow. Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Brows is a brow gel over all and it hold your eyebrows on the whole day. The thin applicator doesn't grab and apply too much product at once. YSL touche éclat radiant touch is a brighting concealer to use under the eyes or on area you seem fit. It hides those dark circles really well. Perfect Diary is a popular chinese beauty brand in China. This eyeliner is really affordable and it compares well with the more expansive high-end eyeliner. It stays on really well into the day and doesn't run like some eyeliners does.

This is 1/3 of my product clear outs and empties over this past year. More will be coming in the late future. Keep an eye out for Cushion foundation review... Thanks again for reading and hope everyone stay safe and well during this horrible time of COVID-19. 

Love,
