I’ve been noticing that the drugstore has been picking up their game, and Hard Candy is no exception. I find there can be hits or misses with Hard Candy, but I wanted to share two really big hits! Hard Candy recently released two new 15 pan palettes. One leaning cool toned and one leaning warm toned. I can’t wait to show you swatches of these beauties!
I thought I would do something a bit different for today’s post. It’s funny how inanimate objects can hold such memories. I feel like makeup has a very special way of doing this based on wearing it for special events or for us beauty lovers, just having it in your collection at a certain time. I have five products that have a special story behind them. Hope this is a way for you to get to know me a bit better as well!
My beauty room is really coming along and I can’t wait to show you in a full post soon! Today though, I have a small part of the room, my mirror! Fancii (the same company that sent me the Rhea Facial Brush) also generously sent through the Tria Tri Fold Mirror when they heard I was setting up a beauty room. I’ve always used my full dresser mirror at my parents house, but now that I have a full desk set up, a tabletop mirror was necessary!
We have finally come to the last post in my declutter series! I saved the mother load for last, lip products. I have (or feel like I have) a crazy amount of lip products, but I feel that’s with everyone. They are so easy to pick up and collect with all the finishes and colours! My picture above is one of my many keep piles, but I also was able to declutter quite a bit as well!
Stila is a brand that I feel like I haven’t used in forever. I’ve been meaning to try the Stila Liquid Eyeshadows (mostly because they look so good on Chelle) and Kitten is one of my favourite colours from a brand. I just haven’t picked up anything from them recently! I have a few new-to-me Stila items that I put together in a look. I have mini reviews on them too, so let’s get into it!
I’m winding down my declutter series and this is my second last post! Last week was large palettes, this week is small palettes! Also I have glitters and some pigments. My collection on both are small, but I have a few definite favourites in both categories!
When I was closing on my house, the last thing I was thinking about was new makeup. And during that time, there were no releases that I got particularly excited about. Except this one. When I first saw the Urban Decay Born to Run palette I was instantly pulled in. I love that it had an even amount of mattes, metallics, neturals and colours! I can wait to show you my thoughts!
So this week’s declutter post is more of a collection post because I ended up keeping all of my large eye and face palettes. I’m not even mad, just because I really love each of them! I’m excited to show you all my palettes!
If you know me at all, you know one of my fav drugstore brands of all time is Wet n Wild. I love how they’ve consistently kept their low price point, but still always seem to come up with innovative and on-point collections. Today I have an overview of the Fire Dragon vs Ice Dragon collection. I can’t wait to show you a look at all the items!
I would consider foundation one of my most important items in my routine. It was one of my ‘gateway’ items for makeup and I love the variety that’s on the market. Foundation is one category that I actually purged a lot of! And a lot of really good items too! It was mostly due to the shade match which is super unfortunate! I can’t wait to also show you my concealer collection! (spoiler alert, I kept all of them…!)
