Recent Purchase

First Adambeauty haul, just a mini haul

 

Allie’s waterproof sunscreen from last year. It really didn’t work that well and clogged my pores.

Coffret Dor foundation case, just the case tho. The crystals are quite lovely, not cheap looking at all! The case is still humongous.

But the inside is Lunasol’s foundation. I still have some of last year’s CDR’s foundation left and as far as I can tell last year’s summer powder foundation is the same as this year’s.  I’ve always loved Lunasol Powder foundation ever since I got a sample.  It’s full coverage and melts into my skin.

Comparison of CDRs summer powder foundation cases.

Lypsy chapstick – I’m much more into organic, natural skincare now. This chapstick has a cute little bee on the side.  

ingridience.

 

There was a store closing in my city so I got the following for 50% off. The only downside is I didn’t buy enough.

Sara Happ’s hollywood lip scrub. Mostly made of sugar so can I self make these by adding lotion to sugar?

Paul & Joe’s loose powder

  

The powder portion is tiny, tiny, tiny. The packaging’s great tho, brings me back to my childhood days when I pretended to be a princess.

A tiny hair straightened of 1 inch wide from Marshall’s.

Surface

Haven’t been posting for a while, or into makeup, skincare that much. But I’m about to re-pick up. Theme’s changed to green for summer; and there’s a little EOD.

Definitely not the best of my pic, really need to re-familiar myself with blogging skillz.

the color payoff looks great, the "waves" look much lovelier in person, but the color combination is still a turn-off for me.

the first green palette looks pretty good

the rest of the color combination is just .....yuck

My Stash

A new topic at Huaren was to discuss and compare Kanebo brand eye palettes, the most current discussion is on Purple Variations and with a bit of Lunasol’s 09 Collection thrown in there.

So I took some pictures of my stack while rearrange my little makeup train: I have much much less palettes than I originally thought. It’s practically nothing compare to (basically) any online blogger’s stash. Here are my purple variations: my favorite is Coffret D’or 3D, the one I can’t use is Mac X-mas edition from some year, Kate Gradation surprised me the most with its convenience to use.



I thought I had more and kept telling myself I should get anymore purple palettes, but as it turns out there are only a couple. Though purple is one of my favorite eye shadow color, maybe unconsciously I can’t distinguish between one purple palette from another, and the few that I have seemed like more.

Brown/Beige/Pink variation palettes are what I have the most. Surprisingly because I never really liked those color combination, they are a bit boring for me. But then again I had a revelation at the beginning of the year that brown or grey palettes are the most easy to use, so I might have unconsciously gathered these colors throughout the year.



Arrggg this is what I hate the most, spending money without realizing where it is spend. It is probably a good practice to record what I have purchased and how I have used these products.
I also reorganized my eyeshadow train for some new palettes, one of my goals is to keep all the eye shadow I’ve purchased in one single standard size train, swap or sell any old ones that I don’t use anymore.
