Weekly Makeup Basket - October 14, 2018

Because I have two large palettes, this basket looks a little more sparse than previous weeks' baskets. Base products: ~ Too Faced HangoveRx primer  ~ Fenty foundation "120" ~ NARS radiant creamy concealer "Vanilla" ~ UD All Nighter setting spray Face products: ~ Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Volume 4 - this has finishing powder, highlight, blush, and bronzer so it's the main space-saver this week. ~ Benefit Watts Up Eye products: ~ Lorac Mega Pro 3 - it's the huge, dirty, white palette - that's how you can tell I actually enjoy using it! I find the colors to be perfect for warm fall looks. ~ Lorac eye primer ~ L'Oreal eyeliner "highlight" ~ UD eyeliner "walk of shame" ~ Clinique pretty easy eyeliner ~ Colourpop supershock shadow "Fluffy" ~ Estee Lauder mascara Brow products: ~ ABH brow definer "Medium Brown" ~ ABH tinted brow gel "Espresso" L...

Finish 6 by Christmas - Intro

One of the Youtubers I watch regularly, LuciaTepperBeauty, is doing this as a collab, and I want to join in. I'm not at all part of the official collab, I just wanted to give credit as I follow along from my little corner of internet. Here's a pic of the whole group, then I'll go through where I stand on all of them individually. 1. I've been working on my ABH Master Palette by Mario all year, but I want to focus on "Bronx" through the end of the year. It's the only shimmer I've worked on in this palette that doesn't yet have pan, and I think it's a great fall color. My goal is just to hit pan on this shade. 2. Buxom mini gloss "Dolly" - I think I can finish this little guy. 3. Colourpop supershock shadow "Fluffy" - I bought this around Christmas last year, so it's starting to get older, and kind of flaky. I'd like to see pan on this by the end of the project. 4. L'Oreal liner "highlight...

Weekly Makeup Basket - Sept 30, 2018

Thanks to my eyeshadow palette choice, it's been a pretty colorful week. Base products: ~ Too Faced hangover Rx primer mini ~ L'Oreal ProMatte foundation "101 classic ivory" ~ NARS radiant creamy concealer "Vanilla" ~ Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi serum (sample, used to darken the foundation a bit) ~ Too Faced peach mist setting spray ~ Tarte smooth operator loose setting powder Face products: ~ Becca highlighter "Rose Quartz" ~ Tarte blush "Paaarty" ~ Benefit Hoola Lite bronzer ~ Benefit Watts Up Eye products: ~ Urban Decay Elements palette - I just got this and couldn't wait to try it out. The colors are beautiful, but they apply much better with fingers than with brushes - I prefer to use brushes because I'm prissy and don't like to get dirty. I've enjoyed experimenting with a variety of different color combos. ~ ABH Master Palette by Mario & Tarte Tartelette in Bloom - kept in the basket in case I need...

September 2018 Empties

Since the September empties overlapped with a little bit of August, this was quite the spread of used products! I worked through a lot of samples, and decluttered a few products as well. I'll do the empty products first: Skincare: ~ Sephora pineapple face mask: this felt nice and refreshing on my face. Would maybe repurchase. ~ Shiseido ultimate sun protection lotion: light, smooth sunscreen. I would consider purchasing this one. I tried one in the past that was thicker and white, while this one is thin and pinky - need to make sure I would be repurchasing the right one. ~ Supergoop everyday sunscreen: basic face sunscreen, no complaints ~ Tarte tarteguard sunscreen: hated it. packaging was non-functional (pump doesn't pump), it's thick, and it's heavily scented. Would not purchase. ~ Tatcha deep cleanse: exfoliating cleanser, that left my face feeling clean without feeling stripped. I don't know if I need to exfoliate every day, but I enjoyed using this. ...
