I am all over this right now! I bought 2 things from the holiday collection (smokey eyes palette and coral lips palette) and i'm pretty much tapped out untill Dame Edna (MUST HAVE EVERYTHING!!)..............
..........so, Friday night i came home from a wonderful day of my regular shift at work + closing the office (the worst thing you can be asked to do here, it's so dull), i wasn't in the best mood of course, so i decided to go in and rearrange my stash so that I can use more of my products. I have 3 small plastic office-type containers from walmart ($4 each!!), each with 2 drawers, a top compartment that opens up and 2 open wells behind the compartment. and of course, they are all full now (i had to get rid of my MAC foundation cause it was making me break out like a mofo, so now there is some room for new pretties).........and lo and behold, i discovered about 20 things i didn't know i had (well, i had forgotten that i had!). so here's my list of what to use in the coming weeks (and i'm excited because it's like having new products!):
--- porcelain pink MSF (got it in a swap, forgot how nice it looks as a highlighter)
--- climate blue eyeshadow (i may try this one with pink pearl pigment, but it's great to line my eyes with -- makes my green even greener!)
--- love knot lustreglass (the prettiest pink shade with blue iridescence -- over utterly frivolous maybe?)
-- all my pigments! i've been neglecting them so
i have: jardin aires, naked, pink pearl, blonde's gold, mauvement, shimmertime, and samples of lark about, vanilla (yes, i need a full sizer ASAP!), and a few others
-- fantastic plastic CCB (great highlighter, good as a base for pink eye looks too)
-- my 2 colour forms lipsticks -- naked to the core and inner hue (love both!!! naked to the core is amazing under bare necessity dazzleglass)
-- lollipop loving lipstick (i've been hoarding it since it's LE, but i love it SO MUCH i will just suck it up and buy another here or on Ebay. it's amazing under pucker tendertone -- gives it amazing depth!)
-- sweetie cakes lipglass (i don't care if it's winter, i'm gonna wear it! hot pink makes me feel very devious LOL)
-- smoking eyes quad (even though i just got the smokey eyes palette, this is such a great neutral smokey look. i may give this to my BFF though, i did her makeup once with this and it looks FABULOUS on her -- she needs satin taupe like woah and since i'm getting it in the new palette.......yaay i love to share!)
-- my pressed pigments -- subtle, blue-brown, violet, cornflower, fuschia, pink opal, deckchair, and a few others by me and my BFF -- she put them in little art-store plastic paint pots, a great way to press and store!)
-- springsheen blush (does not get NEARLY enough love from me, it's amazing)
-- all my eyeliners (i bought feline and fell in love, so i've been neglecting the rest of the troops: orpheus, rave, nightsky, foxy lady, permaplum and blooz)
-- paint pots! yes, i forgot about the paint pots. perky, groundwork and bare study are the only ones i have (although i fully intend to get more), and i really should use them more often (i've been using UDPP alot latley).
-- marisheeno lipstick. i scoured ebay for it -- took almost 6 months to find a legit one! just like lollipop loving, i'm afraid to use it. but it's so pretty, i gotta do it.
-- and finally the big one, cult of cherry lipglass. it's the only red i've ever found that i like on me, but i'm too afraid to wear it in public. rich and ripe has been a start for me as far as wearing darker shades, so i'm gonna give it a test run when i go hang out with some friends tonight (i know they will tell me if it looks dumb)
*phew* that's alot of shit to try. but, with a stash that is quickly taking over my dresser (and bank account..........), i have to start using stuff or swap it away. my new rule for purchases is i can't buy anything that looks like something i already have -- no matter how pretty it is! and no buying anything i KNOW i won't use, no matter how pretty it is
this may save me from living in a refrigerator box..............
maybe.
