Weekly Makeup Basket - November 25, 2018

I'm trying out a few new things this week, which has been a fun contrast from my Project Pan items each week.

Base products:

~ L'Oreal infallible pro matte foundation "101 classic ivory"

~ Becca velvet blurring primer - new item, not sure about its' blurring abilities, but it has been giving my skin a nice texture before applying foundation. It's straight liquid though, and I was not prepared for the force of the pump. My desk was also not prepared. RIP November desk calendar.

~ NARS radiant creamy concealer "light 2 vanilla"

~ Too Faced Peach Mist setting spray

~ L'Oreal infallible pro matte setting powder "100 porcelain" - another new product. This has done a really nice job of keeping me matte during the day. Which is what you would expect, given the name of the line. Since I've been breaking out a bit lately, it's also been nice to have a little extra coverage.

Face products:

~ NARS blush "Orgasm"

~ NYX highlighter "Ritualistic"

~ Benefit Hoola Lite bronzer

Eye products:

~ ABH Master Palette by Mario

~ Tarte Tartelette in Bloom

~ Lorac eyeshadow primer

~ Jesse's Girl liquid eyeliner - I've had this for a while, haven't used it, and just now remembered it's already open. It has a thin brush tip and has been working nicely for me.

~ Urban Decay waterline eyeliner "walk of shame"

~ L'Oreal eyeliner "highlight"

~ Estee Lauder mascara

Brow products:

~ ABH brow wiz "Medium Brown"

~ Benefit gimme brow "03"

Lip products:

~ Bite lipstick "Pepper"

~ Buxom lipgloss "Dolly"

~ Rimmel lipliner "Wild Clover"

November 2017 Empties

I'm happy with my skincare progress this past month. My system for using up perfume samples is also still going well, even though the darn things keep coming in. Per usual, here's a picture to be followed by mini-reviews and thoughts: ~ Stella McCartney sample card - I remember this as being a nice floral. Something I would use a sample of, but not necessarily buy. ~ J'Adore by Dior sample card - this smells like perfume to me. I couldn't really discern any specific notes. That said, it smells nice. I probably would not purchase this, partly because it doesn't come in a rollerball. ~ Elizabeth & James Nirvana Amethyst sample - The tobacco flower notes made me smell a bit like a smoker. A powdery smoker. Would not purchase. ~ Josie Maran finishing balm - will discuss in project pan update ~ Urban Decay "Stark Naked" - will discuss in project pan update ~ Maybelline FitMe concealer in 15/fair - This grew on me. It looks a bit too warm right of...

December Empties

I finished 7 products in December, including 1 makeup product instead of all skincare! ~ Clinique take the day off cleansing balm sephora sample: It was odorless, and just oily enough to efficiently remove my eye makeup and mascara. Bonus, it didn't irritate my eyes. I got the full size for Christmas, but I'm going to try to make some progress on my Pond's cream before I crack into it. ~ Peter Thomas Roth pumpkin enzyme mask sample: I got the pack of deluxe sizes to try, and this mask took so long to finish, I'd never buy a full size. It smelled just like a pumpkin treat, so I enjoyed using it up in the fall/winter. ~ Too Cool for School egg mellow cream lotion: I used this as my morning moisturizer. It had a faintly sweet-lemon scent, which I enjoyed. The pump was nice, but I didn't know how much I had left until I went to pump it and it was empty :( ~ Clinique Welcome Wednesday deluxe lipstick from Christmas 2015: finally! I loved the brown-pink color, bu...

Empties - June 2019

This past month, I came for my skincare foil samples with a vengeance. So this empties is, as always, mostly skincare with a little bit of makeup and haircare. ~ Exuviance performance peel - This is a two step kind of deal with an activated pad and a neutralizer pad. This sample contained one use, and I didn't see much of a change. I'm also in my 20s and am probably not the target audience. Wouldn't repurchase at this time. ~ boscia Clarifying Detox mask - Clay mask that dries on your face - meh. My skin felt maybe a little cleaner, but no other improvements. It was nice to use, but I probably wouldn't buy this again. I bought it at TJ Maxx a while ago, so goodness knows how old it is. ~ Mango Coconut Guava lotion - I have two sets of mini lotions like this from my family. So you can expect to see more little bottles like this. It smelled nice and has a thin texture, which is nice for the summer. I have seven more of these, so no need to repurchase anything righ...
