Anyway, since I haven't been able to blog for awhile let alone have the time to play with make-up properly I thought it would be a good idea to organise my make-up. For the last month or so I have just been throwing my make-up into the drawer. Which means it was a massive mess. I also have a very messy draw of back-up products and products I haven't used yet (mostly skincare).
In my "stocktake" I discovered some gems I had forgotten about and quite a few products I have never used...oops!
Let start with the products I have had for ages but haven't quite got around to using yet.
I brought the The Balm Instain Blush in 'Argyle' for myself a couple of months ago when it was my birthday. I had been contemplating buying it for a very long time and decided that a birthday was a good excuse! I still haven't worn it yet though. I'm not very good at applying blush so really only reach for it when I know I will have enough time to fix any disasters that happen (i.e., clown cheeks). Nonetheless, I still really love this and will use it soon!
A couple of months ago the blogging world was raving about the Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation so of course I felt the temptation to pick it up. Especially since I found it for $5. I'm always wary about trying new foundations though so this got lost in the pile of products I haven't used yet. I must give this a go though!!!
For Christmas I got the Too Faced All I want for Christmas Eyeshadow & Blush compact in the 'All I want for Christmas' kit. It comes with shimmery brown and cream eyeshadows and a peach blush. I have used the make-up bag and the lipstick that the kit came with but haven't used this compact yet. All the colours are very wearable though and very "me".
The Maybelline Designer Chocolates Eyeshadow Quad is another bargain I grabbed for $5 when K-Mart was having a clearance. I haven't used this eyeshadow yet either! It seems like there is a lot of neglected eye shadow in my life...I think the Chi Chi 'Nudes' eyeshade palette is to blame. Whenever I want to do some eye make-up I reach for it. And it always delivers, pretty sure it is foolproof.
Finally, this is probably the oldest product here. The Innoxa Pure Silk Skin Primer was again...on sale! I got it during one of Priceline's amazing 40% off cosmetics sales. Does anybody feel like testing out a new primer is like conducting an experiment? I do! And I am going to stick with that excuse!
I also re-organised the draw where I keep un-opened products, back-ups, the gazillion of make-up bags I buy because they are "soooooo pretty" and old wallets I don't want to throw out (is that weird?). I prefer this layout much more to what it looked like before. Everything is relatively neat and I can see what I have now. Hopefully this will mean I won't buy as much stuff. Hahaha!
Thanks for reading and I look forward to getting back onto the blogging bandwagon!
Cheers :)
