I've been asked a few times what is the point of this style of post so I thought it's best to explain
rather than leave some confused, basically I use a Sunday to select a few items from my stash
that I have neglected and attempt to incorporate them within my day to day make-up.
The products I feature are not the only items I use on a day to day basis,
simply products I want to get more use of.
I hope this makes sense and I will post about my daily make-up routine soon!
So this week I have selected...
Face
Stila Oil Free Tinted Moisturiser
This was an impulse buy due to it being £1, yep complete bargain
but the problem is i'm not a huge fan of tinted moisturisers...oops!
Although cheap as chips I still don't believe in waste so I will try and use it in some shape or form.
Perhaps to water down a thick foundation?
MAC Star Wonder MSF
I bought a good few products from the Heavenly Creatures collection in July
but unfortunately they arrived just before I jetted off so other than testing them for reviewing purposes,
I have yet to fully enjoy them so I'm beginning with Star Wonder which is a blush on my skin tone.
Eyes/Eyebrows
Avon Supershock Mascara
I always have a sealed bottle of this in my make-up vanity, I tend to buy in bulk by bulk I mean three tubes
at a time when it is on offer on the Avon website as it is a great all round mascara.
It adds both volume and length and can be build in layers quite well.
I do find it has a tendency to flake and smudge rather easily though.
HD Brows Palette in Vamp
My brows have finally grew out enough for a re-shape but won't be getting said re-shape until next week,
so for the moment I am relying on my fringe (bangs) to hide my two fuzzy caterpillars.
I plan to use this palette to define and camouflage my brows slightly until the waxing lady works her magic!
Lips
NYX Jumbo Lip Pencil in Pecan
I found this at the bottom of my nail polish storage, no idea why it was hiding in there but I love e when things
like that happen, more so when I find money in a bag I haven't used in a long time haha!
Anyway if I wasn't trying to downsize my collection I would buy a good few more of these lip pencils
as they are so easy to apply and provide great glossy full coverage on the lips!
NATorigin Lipstick in Corail
Now that i'm brunette I feel I can get away with more intense lip choices...well least that's my theory anyway! I'm a little obsessed with Sofia Vergara (Gloria from Modern Family) and this pretty akin
to the type of shade she wears.
So that is this weeks choices, what are yours?
Love Starwonder! Such a gorgeous plum pink!
ReplyDeleteI've got NARS Sin and Albatross in my makeup bag this month to try get some use of them!x
I wish you luck lovely :)
DeleteI got the Stila Tinted Moisturiser too, for £1!
ReplyDeleteSuch a bargain isn't it :)
DeleteI love Sofia Vergara too - she's so beautiful! x
ReplyDeleteI agree she's naturally beautiful and embraces her Latin roots - I love her haha!
DeleteI got the Stila Tinted Moisturiser for £1 too...I couldn't believe it when I saw it!
ReplyDeleteSophie x
Me neither :) a great deal!
DeleteI've got that mascara, but I won't open it yet. I'm finishing some first XD
ReplyDeleteI see this week you haven't chosen many lip products :)
In my case, I've chosen some eyeshadows and eyeliner of different colours and I hope to use two Peggy Sage lipsticks new in my stash :D
I always do that too, I hate waste!
DeleteNo I haven't when I pick too many I overwhelm myself and end up in a pickle so small additions is the way forward for me :)
Ohh those sound fab have fun with it :)
I was really tempted by the Stila moisturiser! The HD Brows palette is one of my long standing favourites though! x
ReplyDeleteI've tried that Stila TM and really didn't like it - like you, I'm not a huge fan of TMs! I liked Avon SuperShock too but it smudges everywhere on me :/ xx
ReplyDeleteI'm working on reshaping my brows, and take advantage of the fact i'm not working at the mo! i love the HD Brow palette, mine's in Fox and i didn't even know there were other shade until you blogged about it the other day.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea - I find I constantly reach for the same face products when getting ready in the morning. Will definitly try this idea to use up some of my less used products!(:
ReplyDeleteNice goodies! I need to shop my stash. It's been a while since I did that.
ReplyDeleteStarwonder looks gorgeous, I really need to get back into obsessing about MAC collections and buy some stuff!
ReplyDeleteLovely!

I have two fuzzy caterpillers at the moment too, we better sort them out before tuesday else we will look like the monobrow twins haha :P xx
ReplyDeletei lovee these posts keep them going!
ReplyDeleteThe HD brows palettes are so bloody nice. I really like using the dark shade (Carbon) in the lashline when liquid liner's too harsh. Lastsages, too, I use mine all the time and haven't even made dips.

Love Stila! such nice stuff, I have one of their products in my recent post :)

I got the Stila too :) fab bargain although I find it's quite thick already so may need mix with foundation for a perfect shade rather than to water one down xxx
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see your verdict (review) on the Stila moisturiser that everyone seems to have bought recently x
ReplyDeleteFinally i understand these posts! haha the HD Brows palette is awesome! <3 i love it hehe xx
