Here are some products I used up recently. I had a few more products to include but they were recycled before I thought to commit them to film.
Here are some pros and cons for each product...

Clinique Liquid Facial Soap & Clarifying Lotion #3
+ I like that you can customize this system depending on if you have oily, dry, or combination skin
+ Works amazingly well with my skin to keep acne at bay
- I find this works best if I use it for 2-3 month intervals. If I use it consecutively for too long, it isn't as effective.

Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream
+ Moisturizing & good coverage (more than a tinted moisturizer but no where near a foundation)
- I didn't find that it did anything spectacular to my skin but I do like it
- The shade I got (No.23) quickly became a little too light for me because I tan very easily
+ I will definitely be repurchasing this but in a shade darker

I can't believe you've gone through a whole NARS blush!

DeleteO__o you finished a whole nars blush!! amazing! congrats :D that means you can go out and buy another one or two to takes its place, no? hehe
ReplyDeleteHahaha, that's exactly what I was thinking!! x
DeleteHow long does it typically take you to finish a facial moisturizer or cleanser with consistent usage and without consistent usage?
ReplyDeleteIt varies quite a bit depending on the size of the product and usage. Cleansers last around 3 months (using it twice a day) and it lasts much longer without consistent use. I use moisturizers up a little quicker, usually around 2 months or less with consistent usage :).
Deletei really wanna try aveeno :D
ReplyDeletecanon and something new♥mfashionfreak

DeleteI'm never going to make it through my NARS blush...seeing you finish it makes me want to continue the journey!
