I had a preconceived idea that I disliked stick foundations, which all stemmed from one I used several years ago (Think: thick, cakey)
.
I’ve been on the hunt for a new base product for awhile something light and easy.
.
Enter Westman Atelier Vital Foundation Stick, initially when I saw the launch the blush sticks and tinted highlighter where calling my name. After seeing Genaya @myskinandstyle and Hannah @ms_hannah_e playing with the foundation stick, I became interested to say the least.
.
The final sealing of the deal was seeing Kristin @gumleaves_ wearing it on her stories (quick detour how fab are her paintings?)
.
So I’ve been using this for a week and a bit, (I’m shade 0) I prefer applying a little to the skin and blending in with a brush, it feels like you wearing nothing, lasts well and doesn’t oxidise. Coverage is light to medium and I find nicely conceals blemishes too.
.
The heavy magnetic closure packaging feels so luxe, while being super pretty.
.
The formula is also Vegan and cruelty free!
.
Definitely feel like I need to get a blush stick too now.
.
Are you guys eying off any products at the moment?

➰February’s Empties➰
.
▪️#aspectdrskin Resveratrol Moisturising creme, really liked everything about this from the airless pump jar to the lightweight cream, definitely consider repurchase.
.
▪️#tatcha camellia cleansing oil, quite nice, works well, removes makeup, however are other more affordable options that also perform equally. Maybe repurchase.
.
▪️#aspectskin C serum, the mini was good, non irritating, worth a look.
.
▪️#tribeskincare hydrating eye serum, have already repurchased, the rollerball de:puffs and the serum is thin and lightweight yet hydrating, you could layer an eye cream on top if you felt so inclined.
.
▪️#drunkephant A-passioni retinol, this minimally scented retinol cream was nice to apply, sadly it irritated my skin, I’ve used other retinols I enjoy, so I won’t persevere with experimenting with it.
.
▪️#sarahchapman overnight facial, I’d seen this on the gram a lot last year, however for some reason I didn’t realise it was on oil 🙈nonetheless I do like it as it was very light.
.
▪️ #vateaorganics body oil * quite lovely, light, absorbs well and affordable, definitely worth checking out.
.
▪️#oskia city life booster, it’s always hard to give your 2c when you don’t see the product working per se, this is designed as one drop added to your skin care to protect your skin against the environment and pollution etc.
.
▪️#meccamax first base SPF primer, first and foremost it was a decent primer, if it additional provides a smidge of SPF that’s a bonus, I would wear a dedicated SPF though.
.
▪️ #joshrosebrook antioxidant cacao mask, a staple, it’s in my empties every few months, as for the hydration mask, as much as I enjoyed it (you can use it as a balm cleanser too) I don’t think I will repurchase as I preferred to leave it on (like an overnight mask/moisturiser instead of washing off) and I prefer vital balm cream more, so I didn’t find myself reaching for it so often, it was still lovely though, so who knows, it may end up back on my #shelfie at some point.
.
Phew! I try and keep it short and simple.
.
Let me know below if you have any questions.
.
Did you finish many products last month?

January’s Empties!
.
I try and keep it short so let me know in the comments if you have any questions!
.
🚿 #Bastide Rose Olivier Body Wash, did a good job, unfortunately I didn’t love the scent.
.
💣 #cosrx Aha/Bha toner, it’s quite a gentle acid, was ok, I prefer other acids more so wouldn’t repurchase.
.
🧜🏻♀️#maylindstrom the pendulum potion, I really like everything about this except the price, smells divine, cleanses well, will probably repurchase at some point though.
.
💎#drdennisgross alpha beta peeling medi spa, I used these weekly for 8 weeks, it also comes with a little peptide firming milk sachet for each use, on the fence, they worked well, but I’m happy with the Dr Dennis Gross extra strength pads, good if your in a rut and want something to kind of turbo charge your routine.
.
💦#Tatcha dewy skin mist, I didn’t think I was using this much then, surprise, it’s finished, super fine mist, good over or under makeup, will probably pick up another at some point.
.
🏝 #Tribe Skincare balm cleanser, love this, really light balm, slight cucumber scent, can use am/first/second cleanse works well for all steps, will likely repurchase at some point too.
.
👁 #kikomilano brow pencil, pretty decent especially considering how cheap it is, picked this up overseas, would recommend.
. 🐎 #ponicosmetics the white night tubing mascara, this is one of my faves will definitely get another soon!
.
🎆#skinbetter alpharet (retinol) picked up another during @harbenhouse ‘s Black Friday sale, good non irritating formula works well.
.
🐬#intentionurture ph balancing toner {Gifted} I really liked this, mostly I used it in the morning, it is actually quite hydrating, will likely purchase once I’ve used up a few other toners/mists.
.
🥼 #aspectdr MultiB plus serum, I had a few pump issues on the mini and lost part of the serum when I took it off to get the product 😭 first impressions seemed promising.
.

Have you tried any of these products? Love to know what you thought 👇🏻
