This is my first time on this thread so I hope I am doing this right. I received the Eva Scrivo Quarterly box right before Christmas and been using it sporadically. She designed her 2nd box as a makeup/hair routine which I want to try consistently.

I'm inspired by all your ideas, folks; but I haven't yet pulled out any "use up" items other than my regular favourites. I'm thinking I'll try for this week. The eyeshadow, lippie, and blush stashes, yikes!

I noticed your comment on foundation though - sometimes they mix together well. If one is too dark and orange, and one too light and pink, maybe a mix is in order? I used up some less-than-ideal foundation powders by mixing in some Silk Naturals foundation powder, but I know certain cream foundations will cooperate too. (Do a small sample mix to see if they mix or separate; obviously a water and oil based mix might give you trouble.) But sometimes it's fun to play with mixing them; you might find a surprise, and otherwise, you'll have a great justification to toss it!

Thanks! That's great advice on mixing. I might give that a try!!!

@@eastofthesun I am drooling over the fish bag and Tarte palette! So beautiful!

Thanks, Kristine!!

This week I plan to re-visit a foundation I used during a L'Oreal study. I loved it when I first used it, then subsequent times I used it I was less happy and notice an orange cast or some oxidation occasionally. If I'm still not liking it much after using it this week I'm tossing it. 

I have a sample lip stain from Cynthia Crowley that I'd like to finish this week. I liked it well enough but not enough to purchase. I've used it several times and I don't believe there is much left in the container.

Last goal this week is to use up a foot balm with just a bit left. I've been forgetting to use it and my feet could definitely benefit from some nightly moisurizing.

Back on the Monday Club horse! I'm imposing a no-buy on myself for most of the year so I'm shopping my stash for real every week.

• UDPP (also nearly gone)
• UD eyeliner in Hustle, Stila liner in Stingray
• UD shadow single in Toasted 
• Sephora + Pantone Daybreak palette
• L'oreal Voluminous mascara (original)
• Two different Tarte blushes
• UD De-Slick mattifying powder
• Haus of Gloi Rosy Lipped balm and NYX Thalia lipstick
• Either Yes to Grapefruit BB cream or Tarte foundation
• Coach Poppy perfume

I'm a little late to the party, but this week I am choosing to use my Dream Bouncy Blush. It is the perfect product to apply with your hands, which is exactly the problem. I never use it, because I always have brushes (and a powder blush in a very similar shade). 

ETA:

Also using my Wet n' Wild Fergie Highlighter not so much because I never use it (as its the one I reach for the most), but that I rarely wear highlighter on a day to day basis.

Aargh, I wrote this up and then before posting, my browser crashed. @@PA Anna, it's my first take at this too!  Since I'm a bit later getting started, I'll aim to stick with this until the 20th rather than the 10th. So take #2:

Bath: Yves Rocher organic vanilla shower gel

  Kiss My Face moisture shave - Cool Mint (old bottle)

  Jason shampoo - Apricot

  Jason conditioner - Apricot

  Lancome facial wash - Creme Radiance

Serum: Lancome Genefique sample,

  then Silk Naturals (SN) Super Defense

Moisturiser: SN Jojoba

  SN Cucumber Peptide eye cream

Body: SN Organic olive oil moisturizer

Face: Dermablend Professional Cover Creme - Natural Beige (Chroma 2 1/8)

  SN Medium Coverage perfect harmony foundation

  Alima luminous shimmer blush - Candy

  SN Bronzer - Drama

  Alima luminous shimmer powder - Sorbet

  SN Perfecting Powder - Sheer & Gorgeous

Eyes: SN Sleep In A Jar under eye corrector - Light Peach

  SN mineral eye shadow - Flash

  Alima satin matte eye shadow - Cocoa sample

  Alima luminous shimmer eye shadow - Koan sample

  Pür Minerals eye pencil - Onyx

  mystery (can't be sure of brand - matte silver tube with glossy silver accent on top of cap (|  |) and glossy silver fine rim line on cap where cap meets tube) mascara - Brown

Lips: Honeybee Gardens (HBG) lip balm - Strawberry Champagne

  HBG lipstick - Valentine sample

  HBG lipstick - Queen Bee

  SN lipstick - Fashionista

  SN kisser slicker - Raindrops On Roses

  Lancome Juicy Tubes - Dreamsicle

Remover: Lancome Bifacil

  SN Kiss Cleanser

Scent: Desert Essence deodorant - Tropical Breeze

  Lavanila - Vanilla Coconut

Hair: Got To Be Glossy anti-frizz shine serum

  Organix anti-breakage keratin oil

Nails: what suits my mood

  SN old lip balm for moisturizing

  Witchcraft almond cuticle oil

A lot of this list has become a regular habit (For example, I love the SN serums and moisturizers, so though I do own other products, I'm resistant to use them, as the SN stuff works so well for my skin. I'll aim to try some of the other stuff in future, in the hope I can use it up before it spoils, but it depends on how my skin responds. At least if things really don't work, they will be identified and trashed.) I like some variety with my lip products, but at least it means I'm sticking to this sub-set and using up a sample! This formalizes trying a few of the other things; victory #1 is that I pulled out the Pür Minerals eye pencil. I tend to use cream liners with a brush, so the pencils just sit around otherwise. My aim is to finish this one! How long does it take to use up a 0.01 oz twist-up eye pencil?

For January 11-20th I am going to use. This looks like a really long list, but they are mostly all steps of my makeup routine I already do, I just chose specific products to focus on instead. 

 Pixi Sheer Cheek Gel- I love this it is a beautiful color and a nice texture. It does stain but you have a few seconds to blend it in how you like it before it sets and it doesn't streak at all. However, I always tried to use only my fingers with this product and of course it gets lost in all my other blushes which are easier to use and in brighter colors. 

Becca Highlighter in Pearl- trying to build a habit of using a highlighter regularly. I am relatively new to highlighters (though I have plenty) and I find myself hesistant to use them if I haven't experimented enough with them previously to know where I can place each one. This particular highlight is not good for the bridge of my nose, but it is a friendly color to use everywhere else on my skin. 

Embroilisse (?) Moisturizer- It feels very greasy on my skin but it is such a raved about product I want to try using it in the morning and see if it will allow me to put on my mineral foundation in the winter just to use up the sample. 

Larenim Pressed Powder Compact- Perfect color match for my pasty winter skin, and I finally have a buffing brush and not just a compact so I can use this, but I rarely ever use mineral foundations in the winter. However, I have hit pan on this product, and it is pretty beat up so I want to really concentrate on using it up while the color matches. 

Yaby Concealer Sample- I got this in a trade and its a nice little concealer that goes inside my magnetic palette, but I have so many other concealers and it costs 5$ for a full-size replacement, so I might as well go through it now so I have fewer products in my arsenal. 

Urban Decay Revolutionary Lipstick Sample in Rush-  It's a dinky little sample that's kind of a pain to apply, and I've discovered that Natural Rose in my Pixi Shea Butter Lip Balm is a pretty close color dupe and I prefer it's formula so I'm going to spend the next ten days using it up.

[greendaisy]

1. Larenim Mineral Foundation

2. Embroillyse sample- I've decided I won't stop using it until it is finished off

3. Liar UD Lipstick sample- ditto

4. Larenim Porcelain Glow- I swear I have never ever used this, my mother passed it down to me and I just never touched it so it's going to be my highlight this week

5. Larenim Ethereal- There is so little of it that I transferred it to a clamshell and I'm just trying to finish it off so I can reuse the jar.

6. Gold shade from Revealed 2 Sampler- I never ever reach for this little quad, but one shade is shattered so I don't feel comfortable trading it 

7. Stay Don't Stray Sample- it needs to be gone, I already have the full size. 

8. Maybelline Clear Mascara- lately my eyebrows have been struggling and I need to put conscious effort into taming them. It's getting a little old for my lashes anyway, but I want to use up some more of it before I toss it. 

9. Tarte Breathless Blush- I have 6 tarte blushes now and I have barely touched any of them. 

10. Pacifica eyeliner- it's getting pretty stubby now so I'm hoping using it consistently will help me get it gone and help me get better with eyeliner

11. Yaby Concealer Sample- If I finish it off I've decided to let myself repurchase the full size for my travel palette when my no-buy is over

How many products are we allowed to involve in the Monday club? I think I can do this.
