If you are a makeup collector, like myself, you know how hard it is to actually use all the makeup that you have. You also know how hard it is to change up your makeup routine once you've found products you like and that work for you. That is why one of my makeup resolutions is to incorporate new products (some I haven't even opened since I've bought them. Oops!) every so often into my daily makeup routine. I figured it'd be a great way to get inspired and get out of my current makeup rut. So I sat down, rummaged through my collection, and picked a little bit of everything.
Concealer/Powder
NYX HD Concealer - Glow (CW06)
Jordana Forever Flawless Pressed Powder - Light Honey (106)
I recently ran out of my Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer (which is my all time, holy grail concealer) and my NYX Matte Loose Setting Powder which I was using to set my concealer. I am very picky when it comes to concealers but I am curious to see about the NYX HD Concealer because everyone raves about it and I figured why not give it a shot. The setting powder I was using was alright but it sometimes gave a white cast in photos and I am not about that life. I've had these Jordana powders in my kit for a while and I really like the natural skin-like finish of them so I'm hoping for less crazy undereyes.
Lippies
Sonia Kashuk Satin Luxe Lipstick - Currant (84)
MAC Cremesheen Lipstick- Lickable
NYX Matte Lipstick - Aria (MLS30)
Lorac Pro Matte Lip Color - Merlot
JCat Beauty Wonder Lip Paint - Red Potion (WLP111)
I've said before that I love lipstick so when it came to picking them I couldn't just pick one. I mean, that's just impossible. So the colors I did pick are all pretty vampy ones. I am definitely not scared to rock a dark lip and I feel like I haven't in a while. I also threw in a bright pink in the mix just to keep things interesting.
Blush
MAC Matte Blush - Desert Rose
Revlon Blush - Wine Not (004)
So lately all I've been wearing is Nars blush in Oasis which is my obsession, I have a blog post dedicated to it, so its about time I break out and try some others. I bought Wine Not because Carlibel on YouTube had used it several times in her videos (YouTube made me buy it! Story of my life!) and I thought Desert Rose would be a nice everyday color.
Highlighters
Maybelline Master Glaze - Nude Rebellion (201)
Laura Gellar Baked Body Frosting - Tahitian Glow
Victoria's Secret Bronze Glow Luminous Bronzer- Bronzed Beauty
This category is probably the one I needed to change the most. I've been wearing MAC's MSF in Gold Deposit for way too long, but it is seriously my perfect highlight. But now I've put her back in my makeup drawer and making room for 3 that seem promising. I even added a cream highlight because I never use them.
Eyeliner/Mascara
Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner - Intense Black
Maybelline Master Drama Chromatics - Turn on the Teal (445)
Bare Minerals Lash Domination
I'm nervous about the Stila liquid liner because I am so used to my Maybelline Line Stiletto, which is another holy grail product for me. Usually when I try a new liquid liner I'll use it for about 2 weeks and then go right back to the Line Stiletto, but I'm going to keep an open mind about this one. The mascara I've just recently introduced into my routine and I'm liking it so far so we'll see if I end up loving it.
Eye Shadow
Sonia Kashuk - Eye on Neutrals Matte Eye Shadow Palette (02)
Loreal Infallible Eye Shadow- Eternal Black (999)
Makeup Geek Pigment - Enchanted
As makeup collectors we all know that you can never have too many eye shadow options. I really needed to switch up my transition shadows because I cant use NYX Dance the Tides forever. Well, I mean, I could but I recently broke mine and though I'm devastated I took that as a sign to try a different one and the Sonia Kashuk palette seemed perfect. It has a lot of neutral shades most off which are transition shades. The Makeup Geek pigments are just so amazing and Enchanted is a gorgeous fruity purple color with lots of shimmer. As for the black, I never wear black, but this one is different because it can really be sheared out. I want to use it as a shadow topper or highlight for the middle of the lid because it has the most amazing gunmetal grey glitter in it.
I'm actually really excited to try these products, and I hope this inspires you to go through your collection and try some things out. You never know, you could find a diamond in the rough or a new holy grail product.
Stay Naughty!
