Beauty: Empties #5

My last empties post was back in December (link here) and as they're one of my favourite type of posts to write I thought it was about time I shared another one. 

I purchased Collection Illuminating Concealer in the shade 'Natural' for the first time late last year and I was really impressed with it. It's a really good budget concealer which is the perfect shade match for my skin tone. I use this product to help conceal imperfections and to brighten areas which appear dull/dark (such as my under eye area) without feeling heavy on my skin. I will definitely be repurchasing this product.

I've genuinely lost count of how many times I've featured LUSH's Lord Of Misrule Shower Cream on my blog now. It's one of my all-time favourite scents, and it works very well as a shower product too. Unfortunately this was a limited edition product from the LUSH Halloween Collection but I did manage to stock up on my recent visit to LUSH Oxford Street.

Review: LUSH Dreamtime Bath Oil

During my recent trip to LUSH Oxford Street I purchased a LUSH Dreamtime Bath Oil. I'd not heard a lot about LUSH's Bath Oils but for just £2 I figured I'd give one a try.

LUSH'S Bath Oils are solid products which melt when they come into contact with water (or your skin if you hold them for too long, which I wouldn't reccomend). LUSH Dreamtime Bath Oil contains calming ingredients such as Chamomile Oil and Lavender Oil, along with skin softening ingredients such as Shea Butter and Extra Virgin Coconut Oil.

Review: Tanya Burr Cosmetics Hollywood Eyeshadow Palette

When it comes to eyeshadows I rarely stray away from my beloved Urban Decay Naked Palettes. However when I saw the shades in the Tanya Burr Cosmetics Hollywood Eyeshadow Palette I knew I had to pick one up to try. The palette is an affordable option and can be purchased for around £6 online, from places such as Feel Unique, and in store from Superdrug.  

The palette contains four warm-toned neutral shades, which are: 

Nude Delight - a pale,almost beige toned shade which has a fairly matte finish in comparison with the other shades. 

Gold Coin - a shimmery gold shade, with a slight yellow tone. I like to use this shade all over my eyelid for a simple, everyday look.

Enchantment - a gold toned metallic shade, with gold glitter. 

Bookworm - a deep brown shade (with a slight red tone to it), which has more of a satin finish than the other shades do.

Most of the shades within the palette feel buttery soft to the touch and are pretty easy to work with, with the exception of 'Enchantment' which I've found to be a little bit grittier and a little bit harder to work with (probably due to the added glitter particles).The shades within the palette work really well together, but personally I've got the most use from 'Nude Delight' and 'Gold Coin'.
