It's been about 2 months since I first posted about what I wanted to finish up in 2017, and I've made some visible progress on my goals!
Lip Products
~Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie lipgloss in "stargazer" I finished this up this month! I enjoyed layering it over my lipsticks for a glossy summer look. I didn't try to take out the stopper to use up every last bit of it, I just used it until it was inconvenient to get product out of the tube.
~ Buxom full-on lipstick in "Bombay" I also finished this up this month. I enjoyed the rosy shade and the formula in general. I don't know if I would repurchase though - there are other things I'd like to use.
~ Urban Decay Revolution lipstick in "stark naked" - I'm going to start working on this more in the fall, I think. It's a warm nude, that would look good with the red/orange looks that usually come with fall.
~ {new} Smashbox liquid lipstick in "Driver's Seat" DS - I realized I can see through the plastic, so I might be able to finish it up. So I'm going for it. I realized I'm just not a huge fan of liquid lipsticks, so I'm eager to get some use and move them out.
~ side challenge - Clinique chubby stick in "chunky cherry" is still going strong as a work lipstick. Since it's a tinted balm, it's been easy to keep in my locker or my pocket and just slap on as needed. Once I finish this one, I have at least 3 more in various shades that I'll rotate in.
Blush
~ I rotated through each of my blushes (going along with r/MakeupRehab Blush a Week challenge). I think I'm going to declutter Milani "luminoso" and Milani "tea rose". I just didn't like how my makeup turned out on the days I used these blushes. I want my blush to be a natural flush - I don't want to have to think about what blush goes best with each look, I just want to put one on and have it work.
Highlight
~ Trestique stick highlight in "maldives" - I keep forgetting to use this. I think I'm making some progress, but I can't be sure since there wasn't that much to begin with.
~ Becca Moonstone pressed DS - still working on it. It definitely shows some use, which I'm happy about. Once I'm finished with this, I'd like to try Becca Pearl for a lighter highlight. But I also have other highlights to use, so we'll see how good I am at using rather than purchasing.
Face Products
~ Primer - I finished up theSmashbox pore minimizing primer and I'm glad it's gone. Since I'm still a little oilier for the summertime, my next one will be a Make Up For Ever smoothing primer. After that it might be time start on my endless supply of illuminating primers.
~ Foundation - still have the same 2 as before, and I'm not a huge fan of the mid-range one (Cover FX natural finish foundation in N10). So I'm trying to use that one up.
~ Maybelline FitMe concealer in "15 Fair" seems a little too dark/warm for me, so I want to try to get through it. Based on what I can see through the clear plastic packaging, it looks about halfway done.
Eye Products
~ Tartelette in Bloom - I finally hit pan on "firecracker" and I also recently hit pan on "flower child". I think my next goal will be to hit pan on "smarty pants". I'm still enjoying using this as a companion palette, so I'll keep that up as well.
~ I'm adding in my everyday eyeliners
- L'Oreal "highlight", a pink that I use as an inner corner highlight/base for inner corner shadow.
- Urban Decay "walk of shame", a nude I use for my lower waterline. The more I use it, the more I like it. But it's getting older, so I'm trying to use and sharpen in regularly.
~ Urban Decay original primer potion - this is starting to dry out on the stick and the packaging is getting janky from being twisted. It's also one of my first makeup purchases, so it's time to go.
Other
~ my new goal is to use at least one perfume sample each month, then use a rollerball or other intentionally purchased perfume. I need to get through samples, but I don't want to neglect the ones I know I like.
