It's the final Empties post of the year and it's a good one with twelve full sized and sixteen samples hitting the bin. I'm on a bit of a mission to finish things up before a big beauty shop in February so I'm very pleased with the way that December shaped up.
There are two great cleansers here that I hadn't used before: Tata Harper Purifying Cleanser (my new favorite face wash) and Skyn Pure Cloud Cleanser. I also enjoyed two generous samples of expensive eye creams from Royal Fern and 111Skin, both of which were very hydrating. In fact all of the skincare that I used up this month was lovely with the sole exception being the sample of Neutrogena Healthy Skin Booster Facial Cleanser which was very drying - so much so that I re purposed it as a hand wash.
Makeup wise I was impressed with Fiberwig Mascara. It was a wetter formula which I don't normally enjoy but I really liked it. Once I had got used to it's oddly curved brush it wore very well and did all the things that mascara is supposed to do without any clumping or flaking. Of course I'm devastated (I'm exaggerating slightly) to finish my tube of Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer and am now on the search for a stateside replacement. Any ideas? Oh, and the sample of Eve Lom Flawless Radiance Primer was much much better than I was expecting it to be. It felt a tad oily on application but it did a good job of keeping my make up in place and it kept shine at bay in humid weather for a good part of the day.
Philip B Chai Latte Body Wash was lovely but I'm in two minds about smelling like chai... More to my liking were Crabtree & Evelyn Caribbean Island Wild Flowers Body Wash and Body Lotion - their beachy floral scent was suited to the mild weather we have been having and they made my bathroom smell amazing. Finally, Fresh Sugar Lychee Body Lotion is just about my favorite lotion ever. I was sorry to finish this up and I will certainly be replacing it at some point in the future.
Next up a look at everything that I finished up in 2015...
