This week I am bringing you my empty beauty product tube/bottles. After squeezing as much as I could to get the last drop out of a few of the beauty product tubes (surprisingly found a tube within a glass bottle, I couldn’t even use my fingers to scrape the barrel on that one) they are all pretty good products in different ways.
Augustinus Bader
The one I went through the quickest as I used it everyday is the Augustinus Bader ‘The Rich Cream’. It has a gluey like consistency, smells alright, but took a while to really rub into my skin. The most expensive of them all in my empties list this month. With a striking bold blue bottle and gold lid, a hefty price tag of £71.00 for a 15ml bottle I ask myself, was it worth it? I would use it everyday again yes, it was worth it on the basis my make-up lasted longer. Just I pull a lovely looking face when I see the price tag of 71 quid. The 50ml is £225.00. I would consider usage next summer as I generally wear less make-up in the winter so won’t be needing a strong hold make-up base for the next few seasons.
I was also surprised with the plastic tube inserted into a plastic type bag within the glass bottle. Probably best to consider removing that to reduce plastic waste Augustinus Bader. However, if you love the brand or just want to try it out for the first time you can purchase here at Liberty.
Bioderma
Another equally good make-up base is the Bioderma Anti redness care cream. I have fair skin, sometimes a bit of redness after a shower so this helped balance my skin and reduced the intensity of the redness. It’s actually pretty soothing and works a treat for those with sensitive skin. Super easy to spread evenly across my face leaving it feeling soft and moisturised. I will be purchasing this again for Autumn/Winter. Reasonable price tag as this lasted me a good few months at £18.00 Available at Amazon.
Zelens
The emulsion D Fortifying Moisturiser one of my favourite ‘beauty’ empties this month. It’s not highly scented which is good for me. I like it like that. It’s the best coverage out of all of them. Not super watery but definitely much better than others I have tried. Suitable for all skin types and protects from environmental factors. I would buy again for sure. A higher price tag than Bioderma and way less than Augustinus Bader so the middle man gets my vote. Available at Liberty.
Lixirskin
I really really liked this beauty product. Dewy but not oily, watery but not running liquid, enough to seal my skin with moisture and feel well…nice. The Lixirskin Universal Emulsion. Day Moisturiser, night cream, serum base in one! I was tempted to cut the end of the tube, in fact, I may just do that! A price tag of £29 I will definitely buy again for Autumn/Winter with Zelens, for those crucial months when my skin really feels it and starts to feel a bit dry. I would recommend this product along with Zelens if you do like a watery based moisturiser. Avaliable at both Amazon and Liberty.
Dermologica
Multivitamin Power Firm is just great. I use this around my eyes and that’s it. It feels like silk. Smells like coffee. The tube states…’Powerful firming complex helps combat lines around the delicate eye area’. I love it and will continue to use this product all year round. It is however, a whopping £65.00 but the tube will last for months and months cheaper than botox! It works for me and I just love it! Available at Liberty.
