Lipstick Declutter Update #16

Image
I still have many lipsticks in my collection to decide whether I am going to keep or not. My plan is to try and post these updates more often. Give Me Glow Liquid Lipstick in Pumpkin Couture This liquid lipstick is old, but it still seems fine, I like the formula and shade, so am going to keep it for now. NYX Liquid Suede in Pink Lust This NYX Lipstick is such a fun shade, but I know I won't reach for it, so it won't be staying in my stash. MBA Cosmetics Bronzeberry I like the colour of this lipstick, but not overly keen on the frost finish. Lime Crime Diamond Crusher in Lit I don't need this glitter topper, but I love it, so it's staying in my stash. ColourPop Ultra Suede in November I quite like this shade and will be holding onto it. ColourPop Ultra Matte in Frick n Frack Love this liquid lipstick, keeping it for sure! Lime Crime Velveteen in Wisteria I'm somewhat conflicted over my decision...

Nail Polish Declutter Update #16

Image
I'm back with a nail polish declutter update. With the amount of polishes I have left to try, it really would be better if I applied a different nail polish daily (even 2, lol), but that's not going to happen, so slowly this declutter goes! Enchanting Normally I won't keep a shade that isn't opaque, but this reddish purple with gold shift is unique in my collection, so I will be holding onto it for now. What's The Password I don't feel the need to keep this pumpkin orange polish that is on the sheer side.  Nephratiti This is quite a nice shade, but not unique enough for me to want to keep it in my collection. Bye! Heart of Glass This milky pink base has gorgeous pink glitter running through it, but it's not a polish I'll reach for, so decluttering. Crowd Surfing On its own this nail polish is nothing special, but with the green and gold shimmer, I think it would look amazing over an opaque base colour. I will...

Suva Beauty Saffron Palette

Image
Indie brand Suva Beauty has been on my radar for some time, but thanks to a low-buy, I just couldn't justify a purchase of their products. Well, come Black Friday sales and it is a time where I indulge in sales.  I love the packaging, and the name saffron is very fitting for this spicy looking palette. I'm not as obsessed with these warm tones as much, oh I like them still, but I don't feel the need to buy every warm palette I see. I have, however, always been a sucker for foiled shadows and this 9 pan palette offers 6 shimmery shades. I'll show you some swatches. The shadows swatch beautifully and I couldn't wait to apply them to my lids. I did find that the bright red matte isn't as intense in the crease and leans pink when blended, I also found that the brown lost pigment when applied with a fluffy brush, which was a little disappointing, because I like a dark shade in my outer v.  Here are the looks I created with this palette....

Lipstick Declutter Update #15

Image
I thought it was about time I posted on my blog, sorry for being so slack lately but sometimes life gets in the way. I will give you an update on my lipstick declutter. Kleancolor Madly Matte Lip Gloss I can't find a shade name for this liquid lipstick, but I am not going to keep it. I am not keen on the colour and the formula remains sticky during wear. Too Faced Melted Matte in Sugar Cookie This lipstick is new to my collection so I will be keeping it. The formula is decent and I like the nude shade and most importantly, it smells delicious ;) BH Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick in Endora It has been so long since I have tried a BH liquid lipstick, I forgot how good they are. I have had this one for a while, but it still seems ok so it will be staying in my stash. Lime Crime Lip Crusher in Dope I can't help myself, I don't need another one of these lip toppers, but it's a mini and I love it, so for now it will be staying in my stash. ...

March Empties

Image
Can you believe we've said goodbye to the first quarter of the year? Me either! Here's what I finished in the month of March. There looks like a decent amount of products in my empties basket, but most of them are decluttered products which seems to be the norm lately. I have considered posting empties posts every couple of months, but decided that I don't mind the shorter monthly series.  Du'it VE Cream- I used this Vitamin E cream as a hand cream. It's quite rich and moisturising. Repurchase? No, I don't need this cream, it was fine, nothing special. Insta Natural Pro-Radiant Skin Brightening Serum- With a name like that I needed to try it. I am always on the look out for a product to reduce my pigmentation. The serum is light and absorbed quickly into my skin. Repurchase? No, I didn't noticed enough of an improvement to add it to my routine again. There's just so much choice, it's hard to stick with the one serum if it doesn...
