Empties / Opgemaakte Producten

Hello dolls,

today I have a short but informative post, an empties post. I haven't posted an empties in a while and these are products that I had laying around that needed to be used up. I have included short reviews with each empty product. 

-----

Hallo meiden,

vandaag heb ik een korte maar toch informatieve blogpost voor jullie. Ik heb al een tijdje geen opgemaakte producten gedaan en dit zijn een aantal produten die ik nog rond had liggen die al bijna op waren. Ik zal er een korte review bij zetten bij elk product. Kijken jullie mee? 

Left to right/ Links naar rechts.
Kruidvat cleansing makeup wipes, these were alright just an ordinary drugstore brand. Won't be re-purchasing these. 
---- Kruidvat reinigingsdoekjes, deze waren wel ok. Ik geef mijn voorkeur aan de etos doekjes die doen het net wat beter en irriteert niet. Deze zal ik niet weer kopen.

Philosophy Purity cleanser, probably my holy grail cleanser. I love this so much, it takes off all the makeup and leaves my face feeling nice and clean.
-------- Philosophy Purity Gezichtsreiniger, dit is mijn favoriete reiniger allertijden. Dit is al mijn weet ik hoeveelste fles. En het verwijdert alle makeup en laat mijn gezicht zo lekker fris en schoon achter.

Eyeko Skinny Eyeliner, this was a mini. I really like this eyeliner, exept for the fact it is pretty expensive and it dries up pretty fast. 
---- Eyeko Skinny Eyeliner, dit was een mini. Hoewel ik deze eyeliner erg fijn vond, vind ik de prijs iets te hoog voor een eyeliner die aardig snel opdroogt in de verpakking.

Mayebelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Concealer, I love this concealer. I think this my second one. That is how much I love it.
----- Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer, ik ben dol op deze concealer. Ik denk dat dit mijn tweede was die ik heb opgemaakt. Zo dol ben ik er op.

Benefit porefessional, this is one of my favorite primers. I love how it makes my skin feel smooth and have my foundation last forever.
---- Benefit Porefessional, 1 van mijn favoriete primers. Deze primer voelt heerlijk aan op mijn gezicht en verbetert de duur van mijn foundation. 

That was it for my empties this time, I am already saving up for a next post. Was thinking I might be doing a video on it next time. 

I hope you enjoyed, let me know about products you have re-purchased.

Dit was het al weer voor mijn opgemaakte producten, ik ben al lege verpakkingen aan het sparen voor de volgende keer. Wellicht doe ik dan wel een video erover.
Laat me weten welke producten jij hebt opgemaakt en telkens weer koopt.

Benefit Boi-ing Eye Bright Compact Review

Hello lovelies,

I have a review post for you guys, this is basically a 2 in 1 review as it contains 2 different products from the Benefit range.

I hauled this the other day and if you haven't seen that haul click here to go to that post. This was one of the products I ordered with my Benefit Cosmetics order. I was pretty excited because I have used both products before and I really enjoy them.



The compact is pretty small, and if you look at it at first glance it is just a small black compact. You would not expect there would be 2 products in 1 little compact. The compact itself is of black shiny plastic, and has a tiny benefit logo on the bottom.


When you open the compact, there is a mirror in it, and at the top there is the Boi-ing concealer in shade 2 and at the bottom there is an eye brightner. Now I do have a medium skintone so the concealer shade is perfect for me, for light skintones you probably have no use to this little compact, because the concealer is on the darker side. 


The concealer itself, is really nice and creamy. You can apply it with your fingers or with a brush. Personally I like to use my fingers as it seems to make the concealer much creamier because of the body heat and it blends more easily. The concealer has a nice coverage, I would say medium to full coverage. I like it for blemishes and when needed also as an undereye concealer. 


The eye-brightner that is in the compact is a pale pink shade and is also of a cream consistency. I first experienced this product with my smokin eyes palette by Benefit. I loved it back then, so I thought I couldn't go wrong. Well this is a very thick consistency so it can look a bit cakey on your browbone, where it should be used. Right underneath your brows. It does brighten up your eyelook, I would recommend it putting it on before you put on your eyeshadow. I put it on after my eyeshadow once and that was not a good look. So if you would like to use this product, I would recommend taking a little bit on your finger and blend it out because once again the cream melts a bit whilst on your finger. Also what I do like to use this product on is on my inner eye corner. It gives an instant brightning effect on your eyeshadow look.

Overall, I would try this out if you have never tried both of these products before. Because this little compact is only half of the price of a normal sized Boi-ing concealer. If you don't like creamy products that if not used right can be cakey, this is definitely not for you.

I hope this review helped you. Let me know what your favorite Benefit products are?
