Love Letters and Lace

Hey everyone! Lets talk empties; the products I finished up in the month of May. I love these kinds of posts because 1) you know you're getting a good review of a product when the person has completely used it up and 2) there's just something so satisfying about a fully used up product, isn't there? I didn't finish too many products this month, but I'm still pretty pleased about what I did use up. -Benefit 'Porefessional' Primer (small/deluxe sample size) This primer was just okay for me, and I likely won't repurchase it. I'm someone who enjoys more hydrating primers, so this sillicone feeling type of primer isn't always my cup of tea. -Essence Lash Princess Mascara Ugh, I love this stuff so much. How can a product so damn affordable be this good? I already repurchased this! -Annabelle Skinny Brow Liner This was a decent brow pencil. Definitely a really good affordable option if you don't want to spend a fortune on brow products...

One of my New Years resolutions this year was to get more serious about my skincare routine. In the past I've always been the type of girl who only needed a cleanser and a moisturizer and I was good to go. Now that I've been paying more attention to what my skin needs and using products catered to those needs, my skin has never been better. I have very dry skin, and struggled with dullness and sensitivity for a while as well. I thought I'd share my current skincare routine because these products have changed the game for my skin. Cleansers:  When it comes to getting my skin clean, there are 2 products I'm loving. For removing my eye makeup, I use the L'Oreal Sublime Soft Gentle Micellar Solution . This is one of the few micellar waters I've tried that both removed all my makeup effortlessly (no harsh scrubbing required!) but also doesn't sting my eyes.  For washing my face, I've been loving the Olay Fresh Effects Out of this Swirled Deep P...

Hi everyone! I don't normally do empties posts, mostly because I'm really bad at thinking to keep them before I just toss them in the trash, but I somehow managed to gather a few things this month and I figured I'd talk about them and whether I'd repurchase them or not. L'Oreal Color Radiance Protecting Mask I don't really have coloured hair. I've had highlights done a few months ago, but besides that, nothing new enough where colour protection is a must for me, so unfortunately I can't really comment on whether or not it prolongs colour. It does however make my hair smell incredible (I'd honestly buy it for the scent alone) and it really leaves my hair feeling really soft and nourished. Aveeno Eczema Care Hand Cream This is probably the 6th or 7th tube of this I've gone through. It's just that good. I really recommend this to anyone with eczema and is looking for a good cream minus the steroids. It would also be great for anyone with...

Hey everyone! I'm a bit late on my favourites this month (blame school!) but I have a ton of things that I LOVED this month so this will be a long one! If you would like a longer, more in depth review of any of the products I've mentioned, let me know in the comments and I will definitely do one! Makeup: Maybelline Dream Velvet Foundation I've been using the Too Faced 'Born This Way' foundation pretty steadily since the summer so I was looking to try something new this month and I found a great one. This foundation has the nicest texture and gives incredible coverage. The staying power is also pretty great for a drugstore foundation.   Nyx High Voltage Lipsticks These lipsticks are so incredible that I've gone back to purchase more about 3 times. I own around 6 of them now and I'm so in love with them. They do everything you want from a lipstick: they're creamy and hydrating, they have a great lasting power and the best thing about them...

I'm a bit late with this post, but better late than never :) Here are the things that I have enjoyed using throughout the month of June! Hair:  Pantene Smooth & Sleek Conditioner:  I am so in love with this stuff!! I've tried the shampoo that goes with it, and I really really did not like it AT ALL, but the conditioner is on another level. I have extremely thick and dry hair and this actually managed to smooth it and make it softer than most other conditioners I've ever tried. It also smells incredible which is a huge bonus. Skin:  Olay Fresh Effects Clear Skin Acne Hater Deep Scrub: This product has the full package; cute packaging, amazing smell and it actually WORKS. My face feels so soft and clean after using this and I've noticed that since I've been using this (once a day), my skin has been clearer than usual. Love love loveeee!! Makeup: Maybelline "The Blushed Nudes" eyeshadow palette: I've had my eye on this palette right f...
