Lipstick Declutter Update #9

Sorry I have been a bit slack with the declutter updates. Actually, I have been quite sporadic with my posting full stop. I've been going through some mental health issues. Without going too much into my mess that is life sometimes, I have anxiety and sometimes the panic attacks are frequent and I become agoraphobic and really only leave the house when I have to. I've been like this now for months, when generally a phase like this lasts 2-3 weeks. I'm home a lot, so I should be posting more, right? Time wise, yes, but I become very unmotivated and quite frankly I struggle trying to get my brain to work and string sentences together. I'm considering posting about my mental health, I know this is a beauty blog, but knowing how lonely it can feel having a mental illness, I am willing to open myself up to bring awareness and if it makes someone feel less alone, that is a bonus.

Oh dear, that turned into a ramble. You're here for a lipstick declutter update, and here it is....

ColourPop Ultra Satin in Molly

Love the Ultra Satin formula and I love this mauve-y shade, so this one is staying.
Freedom Makeup Pro Melt in Wanted

Although I think this is a fun purple, I know I'm not going to reach for it, plus I'm not keen on it in a gloss formula. Bye bye!
ColourPop Ultra Metallic in Hot Shot

I'm not sure why I bought so many lipsticks from the metallic range, they're gorgeous when applied, but some don't wear well. They last ok, but become flaky. I don't need this shade.

Rimmel Provocalips in Burning Lava

I love the tone of this red lipstick and the long wear formula is a good one. I will be keeping this lipstick.
ColourPop Lippie Stix in Heart On

I adore this fun purple shade, it's not going anywhere!
ColourPop Ultra Metallic in DM

This is another Ultra Metallic that I am getting rid of, the colour doesn't excite me enough to keep it.

ColourPop Ultra Satin in Femme

This is a nice cool toned mauvey greige, I just don't see myself reaching for it, so this lipstick is going.

ColourPop Ultra Satin in Calypso

I am definitely keeping this lipstick, it's such an easy to wear shade.

I kept 4, so now my lipstick tally is now at 58

Thanks for reading xx

Simple Hydrating Cleansing Oil

Image
I bought this Simple Hydrating Cleansing oil, actually 3 of them during a sale that Chemist Warehouse was having some time ago. Now I had been content using a mix of coconut and olive oil as a makeup remover, but I'd read such good things about this cleansing oil and I really wanted to try it for myself. Of course a 50% off sale at Chemist Warehouse at an already affordable price had me quick to order. Taken from Simple Skincare - "...our rinse off cleansing oil is made with 100%  pure grapeseed oil, which is light in texture and infused with skin loving ingredients such as vitamins A and E that leaves all skin types thoroughly cleansed, instantly hydrated and soft." The cleansing oil comes in a 125 ml plastic bottle with flip-top lid dispenser. I love the green theme on the packaging. The oil has a fresh slightly herbal scent. Being mostly grapeseed oil, this product is an oil of thin consistency. To apply, I simply massage a small amount into my skin, addi

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.
