Yay, making more progress using up some of my stuff! Sometimes I feel like I’m forcing myself to use up products I don’t really like because I don’t like throwing away something that could be used. But this round of empties actually contains quite a few great things I really enjoyed. Here’s all the things that got used up during the month of February:
This is a look I wore a few times last month, including Valentines day. I love the combo of warm coppery-pink against the rich cocoa brown. To keep most of the attention on the eyes, I kept my cheeks and lips understated but still polished. To see how to recreate this look, read on.
This month’s been busy so I haven’t spent as much time as I would have liked actually using my beauty products but I wanted to mention the few that have gotten some love.
I wanted to start keeping track of my favorite things each month because I usually have a hard time deciding what to include in my yearly favorites. By the time December rolls around I don’t even remember what I was using the first half of the year! Let’s take a look at a few of my top beauty product picks for January.
NYX Matte Lipsticks are described as long-wearing, highly pigmented and non-drying. There are currently 33 shades available on NYX’s website.
Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 is the sequel to the original Naked Basics palette. It consists of 5 matte shades and 1 satin shade. These shades are mostly neutral but are supposed to be a bit cooler-toned than those in the original Naked Basics Palette.
January flew by so fast! I didn’t think I was going to use up so much stuff but I’m proud of the amount I got through.
Maybelline The Nudes is a neutral eyeshadow palette that includes a mix of warm/cool shades as well as matte/shimmer finishes. There are a total of 12 eyeshadows, 5 are matte and 7 are shimmer. The color family overall is most similar to Urban Decay’s Original Naked Palette with a large majority of the shades being in the taupe and bronze families.
I’ve now had my Glossybox subscription for a little over a year. The subscription was a gift from Christmas 2013 and after considering the year as a whole, I decided to go ahead and renew it for another year.
