Weekly Makeup Basket - January 27, 2019


Welcome to another neutral week. This time with TWO neutral palettes. This picture just looks so...beige. The dirty Beauty Blender doesn't seem to be helping. Avert thine eyes.

Face products:
~ Bobbi Brown skin foundation stick "00 alabaster" - not my favorite, but I like having the stick for travel so I don't have to limit my liquids as much. I'm going to try applying it with a sponge instead of a brush this week, so we'll see if I like it any better that way.
~ Sephora Collection bright future gel concealer "04 buttercream" - I can see streaks on the side of the packaging and less product is coming out on the doefoot, so I imaging I'm getting close to the end of this. I think I'll be a little disappointed to see this one go.
~ Fenty pro filtr primer - decent primer. It's solid enough that there's a mountain of product around the edge of the bottle, with a hole in the middle. So I can't use the pump anymore - I have to scoop it out with the stick at the end of the pump. Dislike.
~ UD All Nighter setting spray
~ Tarte smooth operator setting powder

Cheek products:
~ Becca SSP "Moonstone"
~ Hoola Lite bronzer
~ Bite multistick "Gelato"

Eye products:
~ Tarte Tartelette in Bloom
~ UD Naked palette
~ UD waterline eye pencil "Walk of Shame"
~ L'Oreal eyeliner "highlight"
~ Clinique Pretty Easy eyeliner "01 black"
~ Dior Pump N Volume mascara

Brow products:
~ Benefit Gimme Brow "03"
~ ABH Brow Wiz "Medium Brown"

Lip products:
~ NARS Audacious lipstick "Anita"
~ Rimmel lip liner "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...

A Rambly Intro

"Come on, girl! You only have one face!" It's what I tell myself when I start aimlessly shopping for makeup. In the last year, I developed a bit of a shopping addiction, specifically makeup shopping.Writing a blog is my effort to keep myself accountable to start focusing less on buying. I'm going to focus more on using, first and foremost, and then on adding thoughtfully to my makeup wardrobe. This blog is most likely going to be my online makeup-focused diary. I don't have that many people to discuss this with in real life. And somehow posting a blog feels more anonymous than posting on reddit. (If you're interested in any makeup/usage discussion, head to r/makeuprehab or r/muacjdiscussion - some of those subreddit themes will likely influence my ramblings.) Here's a bit what to expect from me: empties posts, reviews, and random thoughts. The word "haul" is dangerous for me, but I might occasionally talk about items I've purchased recent...
