Another empties post - hopefully I can stay consistent with these! 🤞

I’ve been so terrible at posting/liking/commenting recently, it just feels like there’s not enough time in the day to get everything done. But I’m going to try and be more active here!!

@gisou Honey Infused Hair Mask 🫶
One of my favourite hair masks so I’ll definitely be repurchasing this. It smells amazing, and leaves my hair feel so so soft. I tend to use it as a pre-wash treatment and it rinses out really nicely. My hair never feels heavy or weighed down after using it.

@hadalabotokyo_uki Gokujyun Hyaluronic Acid Lotion 🫶
A great serum for layering - this sits really nicely under other skincare products. It’s light, non-sticky and fragrance-free so I imagine it’ll work for most skin types. I’ve been using this daily recently and it’s made my skin feel so soft and hydrated.

@paiskincare Light Work Cleansing Oil 🫶
I love that this is slightly thicker than your standard cleansing oil, it gets the job done without causing quite so much mess. It’s scented but not overly so, and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin.

@sundaebody Whipped Shower Foam 🫶
This is such a fun product, I’d repurchase it for the novelty factor alone. It’s not the most hydrating body wash I’ve used but it cleanses well and smells nice. I’d probably go for another scent next time though!

Have you tried any of these?

Still clinging on to the last of the summer vibes, even if British summer time has officially ended ⏰❄️

I definitely needed that extra hour in bed (tbh I could’ve done with another two or three!)

What did you get up to this weekend?

I’ve been dying to get my hands on the @urbandecayuki Face Bond Foundation… and look what landed on my doorstep!

This is meant to be a self-setting formula so you don’t need to go in with powder to stop any shine coming through. It’s also waterproof and transfer-resistant so it’s pretty hard-wearing, AND it comes with an innovative precision dropper to reduce mess and wastage.

For a medium coverage foundation, this feels quite light. And, as someone with combination skin, it wears quite nicely in my T-zone. In the drier parts of my face though, this can go a little patchy so I have to be super thorough with my skin prep if I’m planning on using it.

Overall, I’d say this is worth a try if your skin leans oily but dry skin types may want to give this a miss.

Have you tried this foundation yet? What are your thoughts? 💭

Can you believe this is my first ever empties post?! I actually remembered to hold onto the bottles for once!

@innisfreeofficial Jeju Cherry Blossom Jelly Cream 👋
I love the smell of this and the texture is beautiful - ultra lightweight and watery. But this just doesn’t provide enough hydration for my skin. It actually feels fairly moisturising when first applied but my face starts to get tight and dry quite quickly!

@round.lab Birch Juice Moisturising Sunscreen 🫶
This ticks all the boxes for me. It’s rich and nourishing, giving the skin a bit of a glow without looking greasy. It’s also one of the few SPFs that doesn’t sting my eyes so I can’t help but come back to it. The only downside is the price… but I do kind of feel like it’s worth it!

@anua_global Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner 🫶 (PR)
I love this as the first layer in my skincare routine. The changes it brings about are small but noticeable, and it relieves dry, irritated skin pretty quickly!

@skin1004official Madagascar Centella Cream 🫶 (PR)
This is my go-to daytime moisturiser at the minute. It’s surprisingly hydrating for a gel, and it feels nice and cooling on the skin. It also sits really well under makeup which is always a plus.

@skinproud Secure the Barrier Skin Barrier Support Cream 🫶 (PR)
I love this as an overnight moisturiser. It’s thick and creamy, yet still feels quite light when it’s all rubbed in. It’s fragrance free so it’s gentle on the skin, and it doesn’t break me out either. I originally got this in PR but have already repurchased and will probably do so again!
