Beauty Box Empties

Riffling through my make up box I noticed I had a neat little pile of empties, and I thought I'd share these fabulous products with you beautiful people.

I agree with you, I have a slight obsession with bare minerals, I have many justifiable reasons, the first being I have eczema on my face and bare minerals is one of the only products that doesn't cause a reaction. Second being that they are reasonably affordable prices, a little more than budget priced but not overly expensive. Third they do not test their products on animals. Fourth certainly not the last they are all full of minerals and make my skin feel fabulous.

Now back to the products; 

It appears I have accumulated a few mineral Veil pots. 

1. Translucent (bottom) and 2.Original mineral veil (top right) are basically the same product in different packaging. The mineral veil is a finishing veil to use after foundation is applied and used to touch up throughout the day. 

Bare Minerals £21

3. Tinted mineral veil, again can be used as the same as the products above, I usually use tinted mineral veil during and just after I've been on holiday, as my skin is tanned and I don't need to use a foundation, primer and tinted mineral veil is all I need to add a bit of colour. 

Bare Minerals £21

4. Beauty, Blush; (right) soft pink blusher in loose powder form, perfect to use on top of a contour, or applied by itself to add a touch of colour and glow to the cheeks, highly recommend, and fits fair to medium skin tones. 

Bare Minerals £20

5. Ready Luminizer; (top) 'the daydream' no longer available to purchase in stores or online, which is a shame I absolutely loved this Luminizer to use with contouring or just to add on top of my beauty blusher to give a natural glow to the face, without looking super shiny! 

6. Warmth, is the darker pot (bottom) again in loose powder form the warm is an all over face colour, which is perfect to use as a darker colour during contouring or a perfect substitute for bronzer, this has been stocked up, wouldn't recommend to light and fair skin tones. 

Bare Minerals £20

7. Moisture Renew Lip Liner (top); brilliant product which does exactly what the label States, moisturises lips, I used this product as both a base before applying lip colour and after to renew moisture and shine. 

Rimmel London £3.99

8. Eye colour (bottom); queen Phyllis matte is a neutral eye shadow colour with a matte finish, perfect to pop above the eyes within a matte smokey eye effect or just as a neutral lid colour for a minimal make-up look, I pretty much used this product everyday! No longer available but close to a soul or chenille colour which are available. 

Bare Minerals £15

9. Original SPF15 Foundation, tan, N30. I used this throughout summer after I had a fabulous tan and during early winter to add colour, this colour is definitely for tanned skin as I cannot use it when my tan fades. Because Bare Minerals have such a good colour range I used Golden medium, W20, throughout the rest of the year when I'm paler and without tan. The foundation is in loose powder and should last a good seven months, if not longer. When used with primer and topped up with mineral veil the Original Foundation can pretty much last all day. 

Bare Minerals £26

N.B. I will post links to purchase items once my laptop is once again up and running. 

Hope you have enjoyed a root through my empties with me and have enjoyed my blog post. Sorry for the overload of bare minerals but they are one of the only products I can use and are fabulous. 

Thanks for reading! 

Much loves
