I'm on a no-buy for the entire semester (OMFG, I know, right?!), so shopping my stash has become super-important.
I know it's kind of cheating, but I've also been trying out items my sister and my mom gave me. My sister, especially, she buys all kinds of makeup, doesn't like 90% of it (LOL!), and then just hands it to me. SO!
FACE:
MAC Studio Sculpt, NW15 -- This is actually my sister's and she's not giving it away, but we've both been trying it out from the same tube and we really like it.
E.L.F Pressed Powder, tone 1 -- I've been using the About Face Cashmere Stockings so much that I've pretty much forgotten all about this powder! CS is still better, though. :X
CoverGirl TruCheeks, level 2 -- This is actually my mom's, but she doesn't really use make-up anymore, so I jacked it from her.
If I followed the CG system, I'd actually be a "level 1," but levels 1, 2, and 3 all work for me for most of the products. PS: I LOVE these blushes!
EYES:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance -- I bought a new tube of this before enforcing my no-buy. I've been using foundation as a primer, but I forgot how great TFSI really is!
E.L.F Drama Quad -- a half-decent quad, provided you use a good primer and quality brushes. It's probably the only E.L.F quad I've liked out of the 4 I've tried. Still, I doubt I'll use these quads often.
Avon Eyeliner, black -- I still haven't found a black pencil liner that I really love.
CoverGirl Lash Blash mascara, black -- I really love this mascara! I've been using the L'oreal HIP mascara for months now, so I've kind of forgotten about this one. :X It's so black and never clumps. It does take a long time to dry, though.
LIPS:
Burt's Bees lip balm -- Oh, come on, this is a given.
Max Factor 3D Max Wear, ruby falls -- I cannot get over how much I love these long-wearing lipcolors. I'm still not HUGE on ruby falls (a color I haven't used in forever), but I think it's just because I have other colors like it and I'm not super in to rosey/mauvey colors.
