September Ipsy bag

Howdy all,

I received my ipsy bag late last week and have spent the weekend playing with my goodies so that I could write first impression reviews. Spoiler alert: This is one of my favorite bags so far.

The goods: 

Sally Hansen Miracle gel nail polish in Redgy and the top coat

Cailyn Art Touch tinted Lip gloss in 09 Basic Instinct 

Be a Bombshell smooth criminal powder

Pacifica eyeliner in fringe 

Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! deep conditioning mask 

The reviews 

I've been eyeing the Sally Hansen gel polishes fro a while and now I don't have to buy them to try them :) The color I got is perfect for my taste and I think it works as a good color as we transition into Fall. 

The Be a Bombshell powder works great as a setting/finishing powder and has actually done a great job of controlling my oils. It has been better than the powder I have been using. I am so impressed and while I won't need a new powder for a while, this is my go to right now. I want to add that I live in Southern California, where it is really hot and humid and this powder still held up. 

The Pacifica eyeliner takes some time to build up to the intensity that I like but it stays on all day without melting. This is extremely important to me and the fact that it is cruelty free, is a huge plus. 

The Briogeo hair mask is great! I actually bought the full size a couple of weeks ago and I am super happy to have a nice one to travel with :) 

The Cailyn lip gloss is the one product giving me the most trouble. The first time I tried it, I hated it. I just didn't like the consistency of it or the way it feathered. However the second time was not so bad and I just tried it yet again and it's not so horrible but still not something I think that I will be reaching for. 

Overall, I am very pleased with my bag!

Parting thoughts:

- What did you all get in your ipsy bags? How do you like them? 

- I hope everyone is having a great start to the week! 

- If you are going through a rough patch, remember that you are not alone and don't be afraid to lean on friends and family.

It Brushes for Ulta Review: Your Beautiful Basics Airbrush Set

Howdy all,

I was so excited when I saw that It Cosmetics was releasing a line of brushes for Ulta. Before this, I had two brushes, one that came in a set and one I purchased on its own. On every visit to Ulta, I love touching the It Cosmetics brushes, they are just so soft and gorgeous.

It Brushes for Ulta come in three different collections but they can be a bit pricy so I started out with a set: Your Beautiful Basics Airbrush 101 5 pc Getting Started Set 

The set is $58.00 at ulta.com and comes with:
-Airbrush Powder Brush
-Airbrush Foundation Brush
-Airbrush Concealer Brush
-Airbrush Shadow Brush
-Airbrush Crease Brush

The goods: 

You might notice that I actually got 2 shadow brushes and no crease brush. I would return it but I actually love the shadow brush so I'm going to keep it and maybe purchase a crease brush separately. 

The Review: 

I actually love these brushes. My two favorites are the shadow brush (of course) and the powder brush. You will notice that the powder brush looks like a bunny's tail :) and I have found it to be the perfect size for setting my under eyes and for placing setting powder all over my face. It is super soft and I've noticed helps prevent the cakey look that can happen. 

My second favorite brush is the shadow brush, which is perfect for outer corner shadow placement and for crease work. I really love it for both of these things, which is why I actually prefer having two of them. 

The foundation brush is good. I've used it with both liquid and powder foundations and it works great. I do wish that it were bigger and not as soft... yes I know this is weird. 

The concealer brush is really great as well, I usually use my Tarte concealer brush but this one is just as great at blending concealer in and making it look beautiful :) 

So over all, I think this is a great set! It is pricy but for me worth it because I have been using these brushes non stop for two weeks. One downside is the handle, the handle is not as expensive and luxurious as the handles on other It Cosmetic brushes. I have notices that this is the case with the It Brushes for Ulta sets. On the other hand you are not paying as much as you would if you bought them individually.  Finally, I want to add that these brushes as not indispensable but if you have the money they are worth it. 

** I purchased all products mentioned with my own money and all opinions are my own. None of the links provided are affiliate links. 

Parting Thoughts: 

-I bought a couple more brushes one from the Velvet Luxe line and one from the Live Beauty Fully Inspired Collection. Reviews to follow :) 

-Have you purchased any of the brushes? What do you think? 

-I hope everyone is having a great week!

August ipsy bag and first impressions

Howdy all!

I've been working and totally exhausted lately but getting my ipsy bag this month has completely rekindled my makeup addiction.

My Bag: 

The goods: 

Urban Decay Perversion mascara 

Absolute New York You're the Balm in grape

Dr. Brandt Pores No More primer

Lord & Berry black eyeliner 

Coastal Scents blush sampler 

I did't get a good shot of the bad but I think that it's super cute! I love the orange polka dots. 

The look:

First Impressions: 

I used everything in this month's bag except for the Perversion mascara because I want to review that one individually :) 

-The Dr Brandt primer worked really well with my Kat Von D Lock it liquid foundation and I think it's making me like the foundation (not my favorite but needs to be used). 

-The Coastal Scents blushes are very pigmented so pigmented that I actually went overboard with them and had to go back in with my beauty blender to tone them down. I did use the Makeup Forever dream HD blush (not from ipsy) as a base and it was so not needed. The cream blush also does not need anything on top of it and is beautiful on its own. 

-The Lord & Berry eyeliner was the one disappointment, it doesn't stay on my waterline and faded throughout the day. Net time I will try toping it with a black shadow but that's a bit too high maintenance for me right now. 

-The Absolute New York balm on the other had was the big stand out for me. My lips are super dry all the time and the balm actually made a big difference, it also really spells like grape. I loved the smell and I like to say that my nose doesn't work (allergies usually stuff it up) so I was happy to get a huge whiff of grape :) 

-As you can see from the picture I also used the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette and a Maybelline color tattoo 

Parting Thoughts: 

-What did you all get in your bags this month? 

-I hope everyone had a great weekend :) 

No-buy July Challenge: 3 Looks

Howdy all,

I have been on a no-buy this month. I'm doing it for several reasons: I want to wait and buy makeup in the fall/winter season when all the limited edition palettes come out, plus I want to use up some of what I have since I've been neglecting parts of my collection.

I decided to challenge myself to use palettes that have been neglected and I started with Too Faced A Few of My Favorite Things. This was a limited edition palette from this recent holiday season. It is a gorgeous palette but I have not been reaching for it lately.

The palette: 

The Looks: 

Shadows used: 

Cream Colored Ponies all over as a base and as a brow bone highlight

Taffy all over the lid 

Ooh la Orchid on the outer corner and crease 

Soirée to deepen up the outer corner 

Shadows used: 

Cream Colored Ponies all over as a base and as a brow bone highlight

Chocolate Milk on the crease and blended up 

Soirée in the outer V 

Coquet all over the lid (wet)

Whiskers on Kittens in the inner corner (wet) 

Shadows used: 

Tinsel all over lid 

Chocolate Milk in the crease and blended up 

Dark Chocolate in the outer corner

Cream Colored Ponies as a brow bone highlight 

The Review: 

I love this palette. You might have noticed but I love Cream Colored Ponies, it is a wonderful matte cream color. Coquet is a mix of pink and gold that comes off golden but the pink is there if you pay attention. Chocolate Milk should be in every palette, seriously it is great for blending shadows and on the crease. Other great shadows are: Honey Honey, Bouche de Noel and Crisp Apple Strudel. I did not swatch everything for you because this palette was swatched by everyone when it came out. 

The palette as a whole is very complete with the inclusion of  Chocolate Soleil, Sun Bunny (both bronzers), and Raindrops on Roses and Melt into Spring (both blushes). I took this palette with me when I was visiting family for the holidays and I had lots of fun with it. I think I stopped using it because it felt like it was a holiday palette but it is actually a great year round palette. Now I know that I can do good summer looks with it. 

I will be using it 3 more days and then I will move on to another neglected palette for 5 days. Not sure which one yet but I might go with the Lorac Pro (original). 

Parting thoughts: 

-Do you have this palette? What looks have you been doing with it? If you have not been using it maybe I can inspire you to use it. If you do, please share pictures with me on instagram :) 

-Is anyone else on a no-buy or low-buy? 

-I hope everyone had a great weekend!

July ipsy bag

Howdy all,

So I received my ipsy bag yesterday! I have been getting my bags quickly, I think that's because I am in Southern California and it looks like they ship out of Compton, CA. I am pretty happy with my bag, there was just one product I have no clue what to do with. The items with mini reviews and a look of the day are below!

My bag: 

1. Pop Beauty sunkissed bronzer in secret sunshine: On my face it looks a lot like the Balm's Bahama Mama but that one is matte and this one has some shimmer though it does not show up on my skin. 

2. Sexy Hair healthy sexy hair soy renewal beach spray: I did use it after a shower yesterday and I did not notice huge results. I do have curly hair so I am not going to get instant "beach hair." I do love all the ingredients though and will continue to use it. 

3. Hang Ten dark tanning oil: I loved the Hang Ten sunscreen we got in a previous bag and I really like the company for being natural and cruelty free but I don't know what this brown woman is supposed to do with a bronzer. I would try it out on my legs except I live in So Cal and they are already tanned... 

4. Bare Minerals 5 in 1 BB advanced performance cream shadow in the shade divine wine: Haven't used it yet because it is a dark brown and I have to figure out a look to use it in. I think I will use it as a base. I did swatch it and then tried to take it off and it does not budge by just rubbing it. I will use it in a look and report back either here or on instagram. 

5. Pixi tinted brilliance balm in Pretty Pink: It's a balm but still has nice pigmentation and looks really nice on my lips and with my tan complexion. Seriously brown/Olive/tanned ladies don't be afraid of colors like this :) 

Look of the day: 

Using the Pop Beauty bronzer the Pixi balm and the Sexy Hair beach spray. 

I really like the look of the bronzer and adore the Pixi lip balm. 

Here you can see my hair better. It's still wet but so far looks the same it always does.

Here's a swatch of the cream shadow.

Parting thoughts: 

-I have a lot of work today, help! ;) 

- I am working on a post debunking myths about what makeup works of olive complexions/women of color. I've been noticing a lot of women hesitate to buy/use certain things because they think it's not for them. Yes products will look different on us than they do on pale skin tones but that does not mean that we cannot rock those products. Nudes on drown/dark skin are totally different than they are on light/medium skin tones and I have lots of thoughts on all of this, so check back for more :) 

Country and Rock N Roll! Too Faced looks

Howdy all,

I've been playing with my new Too Faced palettes and want to share a couple of looks :)

The looks: 

The Country Nashville Nudes Eye Shadow Collection

I used: 

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Original

NYX Milk as a base

Paper Roses on my lid 

Dolly on my crease 

Rhinestone on the outer V 

Nashville on the lower lashline 

Cowboy Take Me Away as a browbone highlight 

Rock N Roll Rock Candy Eye Shadow Collection 

I used: 

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Original

NYX Milk as a base

Rap all over the lid 

Ska on the crease

Punk on my outer V 

Rockability as a browbone highlight 

Also went with a wing: not a great one but I'll keep trying 

Thoughts: 

I am really enjoying both palettes. The Rock N Roll is taking my out of my comfort zone and makes me nervous when I go to use it :) The colors in the Country color are beautiful, I would definitely say to use a base to help them pop. 

Parting thoughts: 

-What looks have you all been trying with these palettes? 

-Is anyone else doing no-buy July? How is it going? I am still going strong, the urges are there but I am still on the wagon!

Too Faced Country and Rock N Roll Haul!

Howdy all, 

I've been on a mini vacation this week and when I got back I had an box from Ulta waiting for me. This is actually the last order I will be receiving in a while as I've decided to go on a no-buy. Not a low-buy not a no-buy until the nest hyped product comes out, no this will be a no-buy for all of July and until October. Yes, October! 

But right now I have some new pretties I get to play with! These two palettes are Ulta exclusives that are available online and will be in stores this month. The retail for $36 

Country Nashville Nudes Eye Shadow Collection

Rock N Roll Rock Candy Eye Shadow Collection

The goods: 

The Swatches: 

The Country palette is on the left and Rock N Roll on the left.

The names are not aligned but they are in order :)

First Impressions: 

I am very happy with both palettes. The Country palette is perfect for summer and I actually don't have a smoky palette in my collection so I am am very happy to have the Rock N Roll. The packaging is beautiful, especially on the Rock N Roll palette. There are not a lot of matt shades on either one of these, so if you prefer matte shadows, I would steer away from these. There are glitter bomb shades in both but I actually did not have a huge problem with those. I have been using a primer and then NYX milk, and I think that really helps. 

If you are interested in more on these palettes, I will be posting looks and more thoughts on different shades tomorrow :)  

Let em know if you are thinking about getting either one of these palettes. I am also happy to answer questions :) 

I hope everyone is having a great 4th of July weekend!

xoxo, 

~Cynthia 

Weekly favorites!

Howdy all,

Just wanted to share a few favorites that I've been using all week. I think it's beed a good makeup week for me. Probably because I got some new goodies and I've been having fun playing with them but Ii've also had a lot of fun coming up with cute summer looks.

The goods: 

1. It Cosmetics CC+ Radiance Palette

2. Too faced à la mode eyes palette: jardin has been my go to lid color :) 

3. Tarte BB tinted undereye corrector in Medium to Tan

4. Tarte Amazonian Clay liquid foundation in Tan 

5. It Cosmetics Celebration Foundation in Tan 

6. It Cosmetics brush: I don't know the name but it;s the large face brush 

7. NYX Pore Filler primer   

- The Tarte undereye corrector has been the MVP this week. I have not been sleeping well but this guys has helped me look like I have! I've been using it with different concealers and highlighters and it has not let me down. 

- The Tarte foundation has been great since my skin has been really oily skin but I would not recommend it for dry skin. 

- The It Cosmetics Celebration Foundation is by far the best powder foundation I have ever tried! 

What products have you been loving this wee? Any MVPs? I would love to hear what other people have been wearing :) 

xoxo,

It Cosmetics It's all about you! First Impressions

Howdy all,

QVC recently had a great QVC TSV. It includes 5 items for $65.99 + $7.22 Shipping and Handling. If you are still interested, it is still available! qvc.com

I love this QVC kits because you always get a lot for a really great price. If you bought the items in this kit QVC says it would cost $169 and that's probably about right.

In this kit: 

1. Bye Bye Under Eye Full Coverage Waterproof Concealer

2. CC+ Radiance Palette: comes with a color correcting setting powder, blush and bronzing powder

3. Celebration Foundation: Available in Fair, Light, Medium, Tan and Rich My color is Tan

4. Brow Power Universal Pencil: My HG eyebrow pencil 

5. Dual-ended complexion brush

First Impressions: 

1. The concealer is a full coverage concealer, it is a bit thick but the good thing is that a little goes a long way. This is great for those of us with considerable under eye issues. I have lines under my eye so it will crease but as soon as I blend it out it stays in place all day. 

2. This is the brand new item and I have to say that I am really loving it. I used the bronzer to contour as well as the blush yesterday and wow, the colors are perfect for my skin. I'd been having trouble finding the perfect bronzer for me to contour with and this guys is perfection. For those of you with lighter skin: it is quite pigmented so use a light had :) The blush color is a really pretty pink and did last most of the evening on me but my cheeks love to eat blush so I need to test it out some more. I just used the color correcting powder to set the concealer and so far so good I will report back :)

3. I am new to the celebration foundation so I will be testing it out all week but so far it has given me e really nice coverage. A lot of people really rave about it so I'm exited to play with it. 

4. As I stated above, it's my Holy Grail brow pencil. It's just perfect for both natural looks as well as more defined brows. If you have not tried it, I would strongly urge you to try it! Ulta has a travel size for $12 that will last you a long time. 

5. I have one other It cosmetic brush and these are seriously the best. The are soft and easy to use and I am beyond excited to have another. 

All in all I am super happy to have this kit in my life and to get to try more of It cosmetics! What are your favorite It cosmetics products? I would love to hear what you all think and whether you got the kit or if you passed on it. Also, let me know if you have any questions I would be happy to answer them!

The look: 

This is what I did today using as many of the products as possible. I did use the Tarte Amazonian Clay liquid foundation in tan. A combination of Makeup Geek and Inglot shadows and a No.7 pencil liner in black to lime my eyes. Otherwise everything is from the kit :) 

Bite Beauty Best Bite Set: First Impression and Swatches

Howdy all,

The Bite Beauty Best Bite set is limited edition and keeps going in and out of stock online. I was able to get my hands on it and want to share some swatches with you all.

Bite is a brand that I love! I have a few of their products including a few lipsticks and the Agave lip mask. The lipsticks are the best: soft, creamy, hydrating, and the colors are fabulous!

They are a bit pricy but their sets are a great value! Also, they are an all natural, cruelty free brand :)

The set has been going in and out of stock and it's limited edition but it's currently available (at the time of posing) Here is the link: sephora.com

The product: 

The swatches:

Have you tried any Bite beauty? Let me know what you're favorites are!

Lots of love,

Favorite lipstick (at the moment)

Howdy all,

A few weeks ago I tried my first Napoleon Perdis lip product and have fallen in love. I don't hear and read a ton about the brand so I wanted to share my new love with you all.

The goods: 

Napoleon Perdis Dévine Godess lipstick in Olympia 

(Isn't the packaging gorgeous!)

Out of the tube: 

Lip swatch: 

Review: 

I love this lipstick! My lips are pigmented and this is almost a my lips but better product, except that the is a mauvy rose. It is nicely opaque, not sheer lasts a few hours before I have to re-apply. I was able to wear it for 4 hours with no eating but regular drinking from a straw. My lips tend to dry out easily and while this is not a moisturizing lipstick, it did not dry my lips at all. So I am extremely happy and would definitely recommend this lipstick. Now I want to try more colors!

Have you guys tried any Napoleon Perdis products? Let me know what you recommend and what color lipstick I should try next :)

Lots of love,
~Cynthia

Parting thoughts: 
-Anyone else catch World Cup fever?
- I'm finally starting to relax and my eczema is clearing up, yay!

My June ipsy bag!

Hi everyone,

I've been paying attention to the hints about what would be in the June bag and got really excited about the possibilities.

In my bag: 

1. RealTree eau de parfum for her: it has a nice sweet scent so I will use it

2. Ofra universal eyebrow pencil: I immediately tried to use this and I can say that on first impression the pencil is a good match for my eyebrows and it is very buttery, I'm just not sure that it is better than anything I currently have but I'll give it a shot. 

3. Nickak New York Shimmer Eyeliner in blue: from swatching it the applicator is quite stiff but the color is pretty. 

4. NYX butter gloss in Éclair: I only have one of these butter glosses but they are great products and I am glad to add this one to my collection 

5. Carol's Daughter sacred tiare anti-breaking & anti-frizz styling cream: I love hair products and I've never tried any Carol's Daughter so I am very excited! 

What did you all get in your June bag? I was hoping that I would get the Jeesse's girl eyeliner but no luck, oh well. How are you enjoying the goodies? 

Parting thoughts: 

-The summer is about to start, anyone have fun summer plans? 

-I am desperately trying to finish my dissertation so that's what I will be working all all summer :/

NYX Pore Filler

Hello all,

Today I wan tot talk about my current favorite primer, its the NYX Pore Filler. I bought this before I owned any NYX products and was just trying to explore the brand. Over the last 6 months it has become my favorite primer. It is silicone feeling and has dimethicone like most pore filling primers.

You can see from this picture that I have given it lots of love and gotten it dirty. I am actually about to finish it and will be using my scissors to get to the last of it. It is just as good as any of the mid-end $30 primers but at $13.99 ulta.com it is a great value. I find that it is a dupe for the Too Faced Primed and Poreless and I will actually not be repurchasing the Too Faced primer. Both are cruelty free and work well on me so there is no reason to pay $30. 

I don't have any Benefit primers so I can't compare them but I would really recommend this wonderful primer for anyone in the market for a new primer. NYX is often buy one get one free at Ulta and CVS so you could even get it for cheeper. Seriously, this is a wonderful primer. 

I should add that I have combination skin and huge pores. If anyone has had a bad experience with it let me know or let me know if you also love it. I don't remember having a problem with this primer when I had really dry skin this winter. I did just have a few really oily days and used this primer but I think my problem was of not having the right foundation so I could not tell if the primer made a difference. 

Parting thoughts: 

-I hope everyone has a great weekend! 

-Dont' forget to check the Sunday paper for coupons. I've been having a lot of luck with those. I just bought an Almay liquid lip balm in lilac love for less than $2 with the $4 off coupon I got in last weeks paper :) 

Mini Drugstore Haul!

I made a quick stop at Walgreens today and like a true addict had to pick up a some beauty items. I am quite proud of myself for only buying two things and one was on discount and I had a coupon :)

The goods: 

1. Jordana Easyliner for lips in silver lilac 

2. Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam mascara in Extreme Black 

• I have heard a lot of great things about the mascara and I will write a review as soon as I get a chance to use it. 
• The lipliner, I am wearing today and I have to say that my first impression is excellent. I have a hard time finding lipliners because I have dry, pigmented lips so I actually have a nude, a red, and a rose that just sit in my collection unused (two of those are high-end). The only one that has been great for me so far has been the Essence lipliner in 11 in the nude. But I think I can now add another one that I can use, thanks Jordana!

Parting thoughts: 

- It's sunday today so don't forget to get the Sunday paper and clip some coupons! Theres a $4 off Almay cosmetics expires 6/15/14 and a $1 off one cover girl product plus a bunch of skincare, hair care etc :) 

A few more empties!

I've been working hard at using up more products and I'm happy to report a few more finished products :)

Products:

First up is the Stila Illuminating Liquid Foundation in 50 watts 

Review: This was my least favorite foundations. I bought it when I first started getting into makeup seriously so I blame my lack of knowledge. It is just too sheer for my taste. I needs a foundation that is at least medium coverage and full coverage is much preferred. What this foundation did do very well was give me a beautiful dewy glow. I did get a few compliments on my skin while wearing it so I would definitely recommend it to those of you who might not need a full coverage. 

Up next: These guys finally dried up! It's the Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara and Lash Primer 

Review: I already have a full size of the mascara and I really loved the lash primer. Is a primer really necessary, no not for most people but it is a great product for people like me who always have at least one stray lash that refused to curl up with the rest, lol. I still don't use it everyday so I won't be repurchasing it but it's still a good one. 

I also used up this sample of L'Occitane Amande milk concentrate. 

Review: It is a body cream, something that I am VERY picky about because of my eczema. This creme is quite divine and I think it definitely works even for those us us with eczema or sensitive skin. The downside is the price, it is $49 for 7oz from L'Occitane. Good thing I have a ton of body lotions at the moment. But if you've got the money, I would so recommend it :) 

Have you guys used anything up? Let me know, empties are awesome (even when they are just samples)!

Haul time!

 I couldn't help myself this week when I walked into CVS! Nouveau Cheap has a master list of all items on sale. Lots of 50% off!! Here is the link :Nouveau Cheap Blog CVS master list

I was not really interested in most of the items but Rimmel was to good of a deal. The 50% off was great plus I had a manufacturer coupon and $5 extra bucks

What I got:

Two Moisture Renew Lipsticks in 130 Coral Garden and 500 Berry Rose

Extra Wow Lash in Extreme Black 

Stay Matte liquid Mousse Foundation in 300 Sand 

If you need anything you should get yourself to a CVS near you! Seriously these lipsticks look great and they were half off. There are also a ton of awesome Milani and Revlon products. 

First Impressions: 

The only things I've tried is the lipsticks, they are creamy, glide on smoothly, and they are very pigmented. I will see about longevity but I am exited to play with them. 

 

500 Berry Rose

130 Coral Garden 

Mu lighting is not great but you can see how moisturizing they look and feel. They are also great natural looking colors on my. The berry color does look more berry in person but they are still very much my lips but better on my already pigmented lips.

Makeup Empties

I started getting into makeup seriously a little over a year ago and since then I have had a hard time using up products. I've just been trying a lot of things, which means that things don't get used on a daily basis enough, there are just too many things on rotation.

But alas, I have a few empties to share!

It cosmetics Hello Lashes mascara (mini) 

NYX Le Frou Frou mascara

Smashbox High Definition Healthy Foundation 

• The It cosmetics mascara has a dryer formula and while I liked it the ball that's part of the brush want fell in the tube... so yeah not going to purchase the full size. 
• The NYX mascara is a really watery formula, that often transferred all over my face. I was able to use it up by layering it with the It cosmetics Hello Lashes but once again I will not be repurchasing it.
• The Smashbox high-definition has been discontinued but this was one of my first high end foundations and a perfect color match, so I will miss it. 
• Bonus: the post it is also almost empty, used here to prevent the foundation from rolling away :) 

Almost empty: A Stila foundation that I bought at the same time as the smashbox. I have maybe a day or two left out of it so I will make a separate post for it but spoiler alert I will not be repurchasing. 

Current project: 

I am currently trying to get through products that I know I won't repurchase. They are not bad, it's often just that I have found something better and just need to get these out of the way. So I have the Stile foundation, a Revlon Just Bitten Bissable balm stain in Honey Douce, and a No7 black eyeliner. What are you trying to finish up? And how awesome is that feeling of having used up an entire beauty products, pretty great!
