Mascara: benefit bad gal lash

[Shalott]

I was pleasantly successful last week, I'm not quite used up of the bloody highlighter pen, but I think it only has one or two uses left. So, going for it again this week!

Primer: Maybelline Baby Skin + Primed & Poreless pressed powder

Foundation: Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua in 20 Beige

Highlighter: Maybelline Dream Lumi pen

Powder: Primed & Poreless pressed

Bronzer: Givenchy Poudre Bonne Mine

Blush: No particular

Luminizer: No particular

Eye Primer: UD Primer Potion in Sin

Eyeshadow: Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette (trying to actually remember to use my palettes) or indie

Mascara: Tarte Eyelash Primer + L'Oreal Miss Manga + Armani Eyes To Kill Extreme

Lips: Too Faced Melteds if possible

I think that's it! Oh, and I am also going to be trying to use up some fragrance samples this week, but it doesn't matter which ones. Just get through a few!

 

[eastofthesun]

So I didn't really plan for this, but here's what I'm wearing this Monday:

Paula's Choice Vitamin C serum

Paula's Choice Skin Balancing SPF 30

BareMinerals BareSkin in Bare Linen 03

NYX butter balm in Parfait

NYX blonde eyebrow kit with an angled liner brush

NYX waterproof eyeliner pencil in dark brown, smudged

Basically I did this really quickly before running out the door, and the eyeliner looks like crap! But oh well!

Okay this is my first time and I am just going to start today because I fee motivated and go to next Monday at which point I'll pick new items. My rules are that I CAN ONLY use things on this list, and also that I MUST use everything on the list at least once. I'm not necessarily aiming to use things up but to use them at all.

As I'm also in desperate need of bath/shower/body/nail polish/hair clear outs, I am including such items in the list even though most people don't seem to. I am not including facial cleansers and skincare at the moment but might in future weeks once I take inventory of those- I haven't had an opportunity yet. Once I see how this goes in reality, subsequent lists will probably be shorter.

-Chai tea nightcap bath bomb

-Vanilla snowflake antibacterial hand soap  used 9/27, 9/28

For eyes I can only and must use:

-Smashmox mascara sample

-Butter London Wink Mascara in purple used 9/28

-Urban Decay Crash Eyeliner used 9/28

-Sephora white glitter eyeliner

-Starlooks topaz eyeliner

[kaitlin1209]

I wore mostly the same things for the last three weeks, but my efforts paid off since I got through a few items I was really trying to use up! For this week I will use:

• Porefessional primer and UDPP eye primer
  
• Eyeshadow palettes I have pressed with samples of Shiro and Eccentric Cosmetics
  
• UD eyeshadow singles in Buck and ABC Gum
  
• Various UD/Stila eyeliners, no specific ones this week
  
• Lancome L'Extreme mascara (TBH I don't love it but I can't bring myself to throw away a full tube of mascara)
  
• Be a Bombshell blush from Ipsy
  
• Haven't made up my mind on foundation and lip products yet..oops! 
  

 

[eastofthesun]

I'm not sure what I'm going to do this week- I have 5 foundations right now, and one of them is kind of HG, the other is super great, and the final 3 are good, but not perfect. I don't know if I should try to sell them (they are in pump dispensers so they are sanitary, and were bought new this year- what do you ladies think?)

And today I'm not even wearing makeup except I filled in my brows and put on some lip gloss.

I'll never get through my makeup!

I need to get back with this! I'm trying to wear some kind of makeup everyday and I do like to rotate things out so I don't get bored, so I figured this would be a good thing for me. I also found this cute little empty box I got ages ago from a Soap & Glory set, and it's the perfect size - it holds a week's worth of makeup beautifully and is small enough to fit on the cart in our bathroom. Now, on to the products for the week of 10/6!

• Laura Mercier Foundation Primer
• MAC Studio Fix Fluid
• MAC Studio Fix Concealer 
• MAC Studio Fix Powder
• MAC Beauty Powder
• MAC Blush in Pink Sprinkles
• bareMinerals Blush in The Natural High
• Urban Decay The Feminine Palette
• elf Eyeshadow Primer
• Noir Cosmetics Eyeliner in Forever Noir
• Benefit They're Real! Mascara
• Model Co. Lip Gloss in Berry Pink
• Anastasia Clear Brow Gel
• Benefit Ultra Shines Lip Gloss in Foxy Lady
• Urban Decay Lip Junkie Gloss in Wallflower
• Wet n Wild Lipstick in Think Pink

I think that's it for this week! Hopefully I can make a teensy bit of progress on each item.

Adding to my routine:

Tarte lippie

Starlooks blush (not loving the color, may toss it if it become a lot of work to apply)

Using up:

nearly empty foundation

Josie Maran lip stain

sugar scrub

Opened full size moisturizer, serum, and cleanser in the past few weeks so I'll continue to use them until gone. I happened to hit on a combination of the three that is really working well for me.  

Last week was a big success, used up a foundation, sugar scrub, two sample perfumes, sample concealer, and tossed a lippie (old) that the consistency seemed off. Tossed a Baby Lips lip balm - horrible, so drying. Also re-discovered a blush that I thought I didn't like but ended up liking.

Adding to my routine another blush to experiment with and a cream shadow, Laura Geller, that I received from BB. I've been hating this cream shadow but the reviews are so good I'm wondering if it is me! I love cream shadows, especially the tini beauty I received from Ipsy. The LG one always seems streaky and patchy on me. 

Also concentrating on using up a travel size Sebastian no 9 styler (nearly empty) and a travel size conditioner. 

 

[kaitlin1209]

For this week I will use:

• Korres pomegranate face primer and UDPP eye primer
  
• Indie eyeshadow samples from Shiro and Eccentric Cosmetics, Sleek V2 palette
  
• Various UD/Stila eyeliners, no specific ones this week
  
• Lancome L'Extreme mascara
  
• Be a Bombshell blush from Ipsy (I hit pan last week!!!!)
  
• Yes to Grapefruit CC cream (Should be done this week)
  
• Not sure yet on perfume! I have some samples from Haus of Gloi I'd like to use.
