Stocktake 2015- Perfumes

You may remember my last stocktake series of posts. I've decided to take stock of the beauty products I own, this time with actual figures. I want to do this because then I can see if I've made much progress in future posts like this.

 Beginning with perfumes, my aim is to reduce my sprays to around 5 perfumes. As you can see, I have a way to go, but so far, so good. I've only slipped up once, buying Rihanna's "Rebelle" for only $15 for 30 ml.
15 in total.
These are the samples that I've bought from My Perfume Samples that I am yet to try, and then review- 8.
These are the samples that I have reviewed, but want to finish before buying more- 21.

Now onto my indie perfume collection. This is where my love of perfumes started. I really don't have any planned pans, just no buying anymore for a long, long time. You'll see why.

Perfume oils from Hayward Enterprises- 28. This company dupes popular perfumes.
Opulent Alchemy perfume oils, also dupes- 10.
Perfume oils from Lytic Cocktail- 7. I wish the creator would make perfumes again..Su, I'm talking to you! 
Latherati, Arcadia Designs and Sweet Anthems perfume oils- 11.
Symbolic Imports, One Hand Washes The Other and Something Special- 11.

The Morbid The Merrier and Black Phoenix Alchemy- 17.

Possets- 13.

Random perfume oils- 18.

115 in total.

Perfume sample vials- 9.
Solid perfumes- 18.

Well, that was my perfume collection.. I showed you my last collection post in January here. My Indies have remained the same. The count from the perfume sprays was 22 including a couple of trial size. So, it's good to note that I have made  some progress.



I just linked my post to Monday Makeup Madness link-up over at Fabulous and Fun Life

      Ooh, that's a hard one. I really like Viva La Juicy, Chloe Narcissus (which would both probably be too girly for you, lol) and Rihanna Rebelle. I have many on my wishlist, tho xx

    Wow! Great collection! I'd find it hard to decide which one to wear each morning! Do you mix it up or do you tend to reach for the same couple of fragrances?

      At the moment, I am using up my least favourite, reviewing as I go. Unfortunately, I've liked a lot of the samples...lol

    Some of the names are great: One Hand Washes The Other, The Morbid The Merrier and Black Phoenix Alchemy! Which form do you find the most long-lasting: solid, oil or regular perfume?

      Spray perfumes seem to have the best longevity overall, because of the alcohol content. But, I do have some perfume oils that can last the distance, I like to dab a little to my hair to help with silage :)

    I'm so impressed! I love the look of your collection!

    I have about 36 (ish - eep, I'm afraid to count) perfumes, but I also have quite a few roll-ons, solid perfumes and tester vials. I do love carrying them in my handbag to touch up though!

    I haven't really got into indies, which is probably a good thing lol.

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

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.
