The "Shop Your Stash" Challenge!

[poirot0153]

I have been using the Tempt Me quad nearly everyday for the last few months for my go-to everyday look. Girl Meets Boy has some serious pan showing. I use Taupe blush everyday too. This just may be first blush that use up totally. I've had it since maybe 2005-ish.

EYES:
Painterly paint pot
Girl Meets Boy (lid)
Modelette (crease)
Pleasurepurr (brow highlight)

Black Swan pearlglide liner (upper lashline)
Stila Topaz kajal (waterline)

CHEEKS:
Taupe (contour)
Instant Chic (apples of cheeks)

LIPS:
Caramellow cremestick liner
Strictly Plutonic cremesheen glass

Face

Wow that seems like a lot more products when written down, but it really was a quick look as the eyeshadow didn't take much blending.

Very inspired by this post. I know its been around forever but its a great idea! On to today's FOTD...

Used NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk as a base. Applied Pincurl in inner third, Aquavert in middle of lid, and Cumulus on outer third. Mothbrown went in crease. I used Briar Rose Beauty Powder as blush as well as a little Star Power MSF on the cheeks for shimmer. Finished with Syrup lipstick. Definitely a cooler, icier look than I'm used to, but will work well for winter.

Oops, forgot the eyeliner. Just regular old Revlon Colorstay in grey on waterline top and bottom and on a thin strip above the lid. Stays well for work. Lancome Definicils Mascara... okay, done!

Shopping the stash is good. I keep a few bags of stuff I am trying to use up handy and on the counter and change them out every few weeks or so to remind me to keep things in rotation. How do you guys remind yourself to keep things rotating?

Wow - You still have Canton Candy! I regret not picking that one up. I also missed out on Fresco Pink p/p.

I try to limit my purchases and have every thing set up so I can see what I have. I also mix and layer things so items will get used quickly.

I still have Canton Candy, too, and I'd totally forgotten about it until I saw Martiangurll's post! I need to pull that back out -- along with my Fresco Rose p/p. You're wise to set things up so that they're in your sight and not getting overlooked.

I agree about this. I have so many things that get overlooked. Mainly because I can't see them and end up forgetting about them. I have Canton Candy too and haven't worn it in years.

I like this thread because it forces you to utilize your stash. I will def. do that once I return to work next week.

While I was out sick I reorganized all of my e/s palettes.

I have 15 green shadows + the green mineralize one. Sad ;-) !

Thus lots of items are going to go in heavy rotation, pink l/s fixation not withstanding!

Plus I try not to purchase too much makeup @ any given time.

Specktra doesn't help though! Too many enablers!!!

And I also try to remember that I've been using m/up for ages now and lots of folks here may be new or have small collections and are looking to expand.

Today, since it was Monday, I decided to do an uncomplicated eye with a bold lip for a pick me up.

I used the Makin it Easy mineralize eyeshadow trio (medium shade on lid, darker terracotta shade in crease, and shimmery center color as brow highlight. I forgot to pack a shadow primer, so I ended up using Benefit Moonbeam as one. It didn't turn out too bad. I used MUFE aqua eyes liner (black one.. 0L?) and my Wonder Woman penultimate black liner to create a slight winged out effect (only second time attempting this). Supercontinental on cheeks, and Girl About Town (with Guerlain KissKiss primer underneath) and Hothouse lipglass on top, which toned down the lipstick a bit believe it or not.

From now until further notice, my plan is to shop my stash and use up what I have. My splurging has gotten a little out of control, and my husband and I need to buy a car, so the makeup spending is put on hold for now. I'm going to try to only buy things I run out of, like mascara or skincare.

Here's what I did today:

Eyes
-MAC All That Glitters
-MAC Twinks
-MAC Brule
-Urban Decay Zero
-MAC Carbon
-L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara

Cheeks
-Chanel Spring 2013 Powder
-Chanel Horizon Blush

Lips
-Chanel Belgravia
