IndieAna- In Search of the HolyGrail

I know I posted a lipstick declutter just over 2 weeks ago, but I only have enough lipsticks for a couple of more updates. Being so close to finishing this try-on lipstick declutter makes me eager to finalise my lipstick collection. NYX Lipstick Suede in Life's a Beach This is not a shade for me, definitely decluttering. NYX Liquid Suede in Run the World This is such a fun purple, but I don't think it suits me at all, so I will be decluttering this one also. Lime Crime Liquid Lipstick in True Love Unfortunately this shade was not true love for me. I will be removing it from my collection. Amuse Matte Lips This lipstick doesn't have a shade name. It is far from matte. I quite like the shade, but the formula is just too creamy so I will be decluttering it. Give Me Glow Liquid Lipstick in Fireside Flirting This is a hard one because it's a formula I love and the shade is so easy to wear, but it's so old, I really have to...

The Block Party palette from Juvia's place was a Black Friday purchase, it came heavily discounted in a pack with the Saffron eye shadow palette. I am getting the feeling that it will be Black Friday time again by the time I get through all of the eye shadow palettes that I bought from the last one! I love the look of this palette, the graphics are pretty cool along with the holographic packaging. Opening reveals some very colourful eye shadows. I like myself some colour on the lids, so I was looking forward to "digging in". Here are the swatches. All shades are pigmented, the only one I can't see myself using is the first shade. The matte white is a little chalky, but it's just not a shade that I would reach for anyway. I had fun playing with these shades. For such pigmented mattes, they performed very well, blending quite easily with the shimmers applying well, too, Here's the looks that I created. I wanted to go a littl...

This is my 3rd last lipstick declutter update, I can't believe that this series is nearly finished. I'll show you what I will be keeping. NYX Intense Butter Gloss in Apple Crisp As much as I think this is a gorgeous red, I just know I won't reach for it because it is glossy, so will quickly say goodbye before I change my mind. ColourPop Lippie Stix in Frenchie I love the shade, enjoy the formula, yes, keeping! Mirenensse Mattfinity Lip Rouge in Tokyo This is a nice shade, but I don't need it in my collection. MAC Huggable Lipcolour in Love Feeling Although this is an orange shade, I find it wearable and it's such a nice formula, so it's staying in my stash. Ulta3 Lipstick in Cherry Wine Another red shade that is quite nice, but I'm going to declutter it because I don't need it. ColourPop Ultra Satin Lip in London Fog I love the Ultra Satin formula and this shade is stunning, so I will be keepi...

So, it seems that we are now half way through the year. Didn't we just get past Christmas? Well, that's certainly what it feels like to me! Along with half of the year, I seem to have lost the pic I took showing all of my empties, so I'll just jump straight into telling you what products I finished. Heel Chemistry- Short of using a foot peel, this is the best product I have used on my heels. This cream kept my feet in great condition over Summer. I am so happy to have a back-up! Skin B5 Skin Purifying Mask- This clay mask did a great job at deep cleansing my pores. I would be happy to use it again, but didn't love it enough to feel the need to make sure it's in my collection at all times. I find with masks I like to try new ones often. CosRX Glactomyces 95 Whitening Power Essence- This is a nice hydrating essence that left my skin feeling smooth and ready for serum application. Not sure if I noticed any lightening of my skin, but I liked it. I was not...

Time for another nail polish declutter update. I have so many to go and feel that I should be applying more times in a week/ Oh well, I'll get there eventually, I guess. Shatter The Scales The shimmery blackened teal of this OPI nail polish is cool, but I just don't like the formula. It's thick and hard to apply plus drying time is very slow. Decluttering. No shade name for this polish, but I don't need another glittery red shade, Decluttering. Hue Are You? I really like this chocolate-y brown, it's staying in my stash. Oriole I am no longer a fan of the feather nail, so I am decluttering this nail polish. Shrimp on the Barbie This orange with golden shimmer polish is gorgeous. I have so many orange shades, but I can't bear to part with it. I will keep it for now. Are Mermaids Real This mauve shade has a gold shift and is gorgeous. Keeping! Man of La Mancha I like this orange, but I don't need ...
