Stocktake- Face Products, Mascara, Blush

New year and time to take stock of my makeup collection. I'll show you the products that I don't seem to be quite so obsessed with.
Just one plastic drawer for my face products. Foundation, concealer, primer, highlighter, they all fit easily.
I am getting through my mascaras, albeit slowly. I haven't bought mascara for months, and don't intend to, until I only have 2 left.
My selection of blushes has halted, as they don't all fit in a plastic draw. It will be sometime until I buy more. I have actually stuck to not buying blushes, and hopefully will continue.

 For comparison, you can check out my makeup collection from March 2013.

 What makeup items do you find you have more self control over?

    I tend to only have a couple of mascaras.

    Which is your favourite product in each of the blush, mascara & foundation categories?

    Of the products I have, my fave base product is the Garnier BB cream. Out of the mascaras, I always seem to come back to Mirenesse, doesn't seem to matter what version, I just love their tubing mascaras. Another Mirenesse product wins out among my blushes, I just adore the Marble Mineral Blushes, they give such a gorgeous glow, without being shimmery :)

    That is quite the blush collection you have there! Looks like you won't need to buy any for awhile :)

    I started taking photos of my collection today and it just gave me a headache all over again haha. After I counted everything up I essentially just put most of it away again so I wasn't motivated to do any decluttering. I'm not really looking to downsize but there are definitely some things that I have to throw out so it's good to have everything out again, I'll be finishing off photos and cleaning out tomorrow.

    I think I go through phases of control over different products, right now it's nail polish, foundation and lip products but that can change at the drop of a hat and I'll be buying multiple bottles of something that I 'need' but don't really need.

      Can't wait to check out your stash, Hailey. I know what you mean about going through makeup obsession phases. After my huge haul recently, I really am not lusting after anything in particular, which is strange for me, lol

    I think everything is out of control at the moment! I currently have beauty products on the bedroom floor, where they really shouldn't be!

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
