Lipstick Declutter Update #7

Oh, what fun I've been having trying different lipsticks whenever I wear makeup. I hope the novelty lasts, because every time I look into my bag of lip products still to apply, well, let's just say I'm wondering if it's the never ending bag of lipstick! Here's the lipsticks I have worn recently.

Lime Crime Diamond Crushers in Cleopatra

Although I don't wear glitter lip products often (ok, it's a rarity) I really like the formula of the Lime Crime Diamond Crushes and I'm not ready to let go of any of them just yet.
ColourPop Ulta Matte Lip in 1st Base

The Ultra Mattes are not my favourite formula on offer from ColourPop. I can forgive that if I really like a shade, but this one gets a no from me, it's just not a pink I would wear.

ColourPop Ultra Metallic in 3-Way

I bought a few of the Ultra Metallics when they were released out of curiosity. They can be somewhat unflattering on my dry lips by the end of the day. But just look at that gorgeous wine shade. I'll be keeping it for the time being.
Lime Crime lipstick in Varsity

Nice formula, nice colour, I don't have much to add really except that this lipstick is staying in my stash.
MAC lipstick in Passioned

Ok, I might not reach for this lipstick much in future, but it's MAC.........it's MAC, don't judge me!

ColourPop Ultra Satin Lip in Echo Park

This is such an easy shade to wear and you probably know by now that I love the Ultra Satin formula.

ColourPop Ultra Metallic in Flitter

I tried to declutter this metallic shade, but I just couldn't part with that peachy gold goodness!

BH Cosmetics ColorLock Lipstick in Blissful

This is a nice rich matte shade, but it was patchy to apply so I will be removing it from my stash.

Ok, decluttering 2 products is probably not a success, but at least it's something. I know that potentially 3 could go, I'm just not ready to part with them yet. I have a long way to go to get through this initial process, but I am considering maybe initiating some kind of imposed expiry date, where if I don't use a lip product in a certain time frame it's got to go. We'll see...

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...
