Empties Lately #1

It's such a rare event that I hit pan or the bottom of a bottle that I can't help but get excited about it.  For some reason, it seems that over the month or so I've had a bunch of empties all at once.

• Garnier Moisture Rescue Fresh Cleansing Foam

I'm now on my 3rd bottle of this stuff.  I occasionally try different cleansers but I always go back to this one!

• Stila One Step Correct

I've had a backup of this One Step Correct for a while now, but at $36, I've tried to squeeze every last drop out this first bottle as I could.  

• Garnier Moisture Rescue Gel-Cream Moisturzer

As tiny as this jar is, it seriously lasted me forever.  Well, it lasted me over 1 1/2 years.  I'm now trying out the new Dry Skin formula.  Can't wait to review it for you guys.

• Dove Visible Care Renewing Body Wash

This is the only Empty that I was glad to see go.  I'm a HUGE fan of Dove Body Wash.  My skin is dry and sensitive and the only wash that I've found to accommodate both issues is the regular ones from Dove.  So I figured, if the regular ones are good, the Visible Care ones must be better.....not really though.  My skin was left dryer and I did see any effects from the "Visible Care" that was supposed to happen.

A Quick Math Lesson with Tarte Clean Slate Primer Trio

This has probably been brought up before, but I noticed a potentially good deal on Sephora involving the Tarte Clean Slate Primer Trio.

Benefit Stay Don't Stray is a Treat for my Undereyes!

Last week I received my Sephora Chic Week Haul and besides the awesome Sephora + Pantone Eyeliner Set I also received the Benefit Pretty Committee Set (you can see the whole set over on my brand-spanking new tumblr, Of Lace and Leather, here).  If you're looking to get the best value for your money, the Pretty Committe Set is the way to go.  One item included is a full size Benefit Stay Don't Stray Primer.  This primer has always peaked my interest because it boasts that it not only keeps your shadow on through the day but also does the same for your concealer too.  Check it out after the jump!

You Look Familiar! Almay Smart Shade Perfect & Correct Primer Review

I'm not one to usually finish up products as I buy so much new stuff that I don't really give myself the chance to.  One product though that I'm slowly coming up on the finish line with is Stila's One Step Correct Primer.  I love it, and as soon as I get a new bottle I'll give a formal review on it.  It really does help to color correct my face in that it corrects any redness, dull skin, or hyperpigmentation I may have while hydrating my skin beautifully, so much so that I would wear it sans foundation most of the time.  Only problem with it is that it costs $36 a pop!  I can't afford that, so when Almay came out with a new primer that looked suspiciously similar to Stila's I was praying that it would be a decent dupe.  Find out how Almay's Smart Shade Perfect & Correct Primer measures up after the jump!
