Lipstick Declutter Update #8















Time for another lipstick declutter update. It's a project that I am glad I have taken on. I have decluttered lipsticks in the past, but by arm swatches. Trying on is a much better way of deciding whether or not I want to keep them. Oh yes, it's a much lengthier process, but one I am happy to continue.                                       

                                      
ColourPop Ultra Matte Clueless

I will be getting rid of this one, the shade is nice, but I am not a fan of the formula. 
ColourPop Lippie Stix in Silk

Although I love the Lippie Stix formula, I am getting rid of Silk because I prefer a matte finish with such a dark colour. I can apply it more precisely and if it's a formula that doesn't budge, it won't get messy.

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip in Arriba

Keeping this one! Although I'm not usually a fan of this formula, I really liked this lipstick and it didn't dry my lips like most of the Ultra Mattes do. Plus, just look at that gorgeous colour!

ColourPop Ultra Glossy in Fairy Floss

I never thought that I would be enjoying lip glosses again, but I liked wearing this one. Keeping it!

NYX Gloss in Real Nude

Keeping this one, too!

L'Oreal Infallible 2 Step Lipstick in Resolution Red

I have had this lipstick for years, and have barely reached for it in that time, so it is really time to go.
Maybelline Lipstick in Hot Plum

This is such a stunning shade, it will definitely be staying in my stash.

ColourPop Ultra Glossy in Fairy Floss

This is getting crazy, I want to keep this gloss, too!

This update had me keeping 5 lipsticks out of the 8 I tried, I wouldn't call that a failure.

My lipstick tally is now at 54

    I don't know if it's the lighting, but that L'Oreal Infallible shade appears patchy on your bottom lip. It's a nice colour, but as you said, if you haven't used it then it's time to bin it.

      That was the flash, Shell. I really should let liquid lipsticks set before taking pics. Oops! :)

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.
