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"

Healthy Habits Challenge - February 2020

I have the habit of spending too much of my money on makeup, and spending too much of my time browsing for makeup and consuming makeup-related media. To counteract this, I make myself "earn" my makeup budget by doing things that are better for my mental and physical health. Here's how I did for the month of February: Purchases: ~ I bought a birthday gift for a friend at Ulta - does not come out of budget ~ I repurchased my husband some dental floss (does not come out of this budget) at Sephora and got a Bobbi Brown lip gloss as a point perk - $0 ~ I purchased a full size of YSL Libre perfume since I loved the sample so much (giving myself grace on this purchase this month) and got the UD brow enhancer brow gel in "Brunette Betty" on sale (counts as a replacement since I destashed my other brow gel when it went bad) ~ ABH Jackie Aina palette - it was on sale at Sephora - I used a $20 gift card so I spent $14.10 Books read ($1 per 100 pages) ~ Cress by M...

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...

December 2018 Empties

Y'all. This month looks pitiful compared to past months. I suspect it's because I've mainly been using full-sized skincare so I'm not blazing through as much as I have been. ~ It cosmetics secret sauce moisturizer sample - was a little too much for my oily skin. would not repurchase. ~ Mario Badescu herbal rehydrating serum sample set - this was a gel moisturizer, so it's no surprise that I liked this one. Might try it again in the future, but I have a lot of moisturizer to go through first. ~ 2 Sephora samples of Commodity Gold perfume - this is a warm, sweet scent that I really enjoy and I currently have a travel-size spray. ~ Living Proof perfect hair day shampoo - if you remember when I finished the conditioner, you'll recall that I hated this pair of shampoo and conditioner and I used it up as a shaving cream. Would not repurchase. ~ Estee Lauder sumptuous infinite mascara - this has a plastic bristle brush, which I normally don't like, but...
