IndieAna- In Search of the HolyGrail

I'm back again with another nail polish declutter update.  Aztec Orange Love it, keeping it! Diamond Although this polish doesn't look too special in this photo, it is so gorgeous in sunlight and would look so good over a base colour. Keeping! I can't find a shade name for this Color Club polish, but I won't be keeping it. The polish was patchy to apply and I just don't need another blue that I realistically probably won't reach for. Purple Passion is such a gorgeous purple that will be staying in my collection. I can't have too many purples apparently!  I'm not sure what the name of this polish shade is, but I've decided that I don't need it in my stash. Animate This is a pretty red glitter, but it applies patchy, so I am decluttering it. Red Hot Chilli Pepper I didn't think I needed yet another red, but I don't actually have a shade like this metallic red, so it will be stayi...

As we welcome the month of May, I will show you what I finished and decluttered in April. My basket looks quite full, but I'm sure you know by now, there's mostly decluttered products in there. Sukin Facial Moisturiser- This is a simple cream, it's decent, but I no longer find it moisturising enough. I won't be buying again. Moreish Cream Cleanser- My fave cream cleanser that not only cleanses my skin, but leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. I am sad that I have only 2 of these cleansers left. I love them but they are no longer available. Skinn Hydro-Vital Mask- This mask is like a gel to apply. It goes on nicely and feels cooling on the skin. My issue with it, however, is that it is hard to remove. The product is quite thick and it just sticks to the skin and face washer which is hard to clean between swipes on the face. I didn't see any great difference in my skin to warrant bothering with this mask again. Ciencia8 Lip Correct- I ...

I really wanted to try one of my Dawn Eyes Cosmetics Premium loose eye shadows. They are multi-chrome, beautiful and needed to be applied to my lids. So, I took the opportunity to also create a Makeup Mess post. If you read my first Makeup Mess, you'll notice some of the same products, but I did change some things up. I'll begin with eye products. Elf Mad About Matte Eye Shadow Palette- I used 2 of these shadows in my crease, they make fantastic transition shades. Suva Beauty Block Party Eye Shadow Palette- I blended the navy blue shade into my outer "v". It is very pigmented, yet surprisingly blends easily, without being patchy.                                  Dawn Eyes Cosmetics Premium Eye Shadow in - I applied the star of the show on my lid over a sticky base. It is stunning, shifting from bronze to green to purple.  It's so hard to capture on camera, so take my wo...

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...

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...

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....

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. ...
