Operation "Use it up"! All welcome!!

[charlotte366]

I am redoing my make up inventory and posting my May and June empties this weekend ladies! some of my downward movement will be because I am trying to sell the stuff I don't use and 2 rounds of the 30 day lippie challenge has resulted in me not making much of dent in my lipstick stash.

So from July onwards I am jumping back into a use it up mindset, i find powder pruducts like bronzer, blush and highlighter the most difficult but I can make good progress on foundation, concealer, powder and lipsticks.

I am now regularly changing my mascaras and my eyes are a lot happier and less irritated. That means I am getting through these at a good pace and should use all the back ups up by the end of the year.

Keep Going Ladies!!!

I'm so excited! For the first time I have hit pan on a bronzer and a MSF natural! I didn't expect it at all as they seemed neverending! I've used both daily for over a year! So exciting!!

Its been a slow process but stuff Ive managed to finish lately:
- Lioele triple the solution BB Cream
- Burberry beat perfume (NOOOO my fave =\ )
- Victorias secret lovespell body spray
- Fix +
- Blacktrack fluidline

Stuff Im still working on:
- Roxy perfume (almost done) - I used to have soo many perfumes im glad im starting to finish some!
- Viva glam cyndi - IDK why but this is taking me forever and when I decided to finish it I only had like 30 % of it left.. I need to start re-applying it every 5 mins or something =\
- Poshlife Monogram lipglass from mac - Also taking me a while to finish this one..im down to about 10 % now

Is anyone ready for some major Pan P0rn?!

I felt a bit ridiculous doing this photo shoot...
I hope you get something out of it!

- MAC Nude On Board Pro Longwear Bronzing Powder (Hey Sailor! Collection)
- MAC Too Chic Beauty Powder (Iris Apfel Collection)

I'm stoked about Nude On Board. I'll likely finish it by summer's end.
Then I'll whip out my Nude On Board from the Temperature Rising Collection.
I do not get backups but I made an exception for NoB because: a) I was getting a lot of use out of my original NoB; b) this fantastic formula is LE; and c) the Temperature Rising release was a repromote. I don't see MAC re-releasing the shade any time soon.

Ugh! Being sick for 2 weeks threw a wrech in my use it up plans, and I barely wore makeup in June. So, here's some pan spam to make up for it.

Tiny pan peeking through on Veronica's Blush. Hella pan on UD Sellout and Half Baked, and just a bit on an all time fave, UD deluxe Honey.

@matchachoco I hope you're feeling better now. That's a lot of pan -- great work! I'm impressed with the progress you've made on Veronica's Blush. It feels like it was released not long ago.

Thanks, I'm finally feeling better. Veronica's Blush is over a year old but it's been really stubborn. I was so excited to even see a hint of the pan!

I have this problem, too! Lately, I try not to open new things if I have too many other things to finish... But sometimes I can't resist.

June Empties!

That's most of the little things I was trying to use up. Now that they are out of the way my focus is on the bigger products I have.

Nice!! Good luck with the big stuff!

I'm back! May/June is being posted together. I was teaching during May/June which meant I was at home preparing classes on off days, which means less makeup used up. I am however finally making progress in the makeup department (2 dead lippies, 1 dead eyeshadow) so there is hope for me yet!



Makeup:

2 dead lipgloss lipsticks (1 red, one benefit)
One avon lipgloss
Sephora lip gloss (one finished, other 4 well on their way).
foundation sample (Laura Mercier)
1 mini mascara, clinique
One utterly destroyed brown eyeshadow, with the other three well on their way (May finish the entire thing this summer, what do you think?)

Facial:

eminence sample
make up remover, small

Skincare:
4 hotel sized moisturizers
1 shower gel button
1 small shower gel

Other:
Candle! I actually finished a candle!

Back to regular working hours, I am torn between using up the stuff I am making progress on, and having fun using up my samples. Drawn towards samples at the moment, I mean it is summer...

 

[Rebellefleur]

Yay! So I finally finished my vivaglam cyndi & Poshlife lipglass.
I now have a B2M which im considering getting chatterbox lipstick or bronze eyeshadow.. not sure yet..but This B2M Consists of 3 lip products, which feels like such an accomplishment =P

Currently Im working on:
- Of Royalty lipstick
- VivaGlam Nicki 1 lipstick
- Steal my heart lipglass
- Nymphette lipglass
- Frozen Dream Lipglass
- Secret crush C-thru lipcolour
- Naked honey Highlight powder

Hiya! Long time no see.

I am currently working on finishing

• MAC FB in N1 (I am tanner in summer but as this one is so sheer I don't bother buying a darker one I simply apply some darker MSFN and bronzer)
• MAC Oil Control
• Shower gel I bought while abroad on holidays
• Guerlain bronzer (is the oldest powder I own)
• Benefit They are real mascara
• most of my glosses (I don't really wear gloss but somehow I buy one now and then)

Good luck to all the others with their goals!

I am subscribing to this thread. I am making an effort to use up or pass on some of my products. I need to trim my stash (hoard).

I have been working through my samples. I dumped all of my samples & trial sizes on the floor and sorted them by brand & purpose/use. I also tossed some that were extremely old. Before I buy more skincare, I need to work through all of these. It amazes me how many little packets of products I have accumulated.

(I already went through my closets this summer and donated clothes/shoes/etc to goodwill. The stash is my next task.)

I had to separate all my samples of things from my regular stash too. I put them in a ziploc bag so I can see them all and I make an effort to use them for travel or daytrips when I don't want to haul a larger make up bag in my purse.

I used up my final backup of the Vichy Purete Thermale 3-in-1 Calming Cleansing Solution 400ml! I think I have a travel sized 100ml one left but I'm saving it for travel. I'm now down to two micellar waters - the Loreal Skin Perfection and Bioderma Sensibo H20. I like that these two don't have fragrance, so I think I'll probably stick with one of them but I haven't decided which yet. I have one in my bathroom and one in my bedroom so I can try out both.

I'm working on trying this new thing out where I don't buy a backup of something until I'm almost done the product!
