Recently I set some time aside to depot several shadows I got from "back to MAC" makeup I cleaned out from organizing. Total time was 2 hours, it took less than 30 minutes to remove the shadows from the plastic and the remaining time spent removing the glue. (10 eyeshadows)
TOOLS:
flat iron
towel
q-tips or cotton pads (I used both but found the q-tips worked better)
alcohol
paper clip or pin (something you can poke through the plastic)
parchment paper
magnetic sheet (purchased from Walmart)
scissor
blade ( I used the blade option from my nail cutter)
empty palette ( purchased this MUFE palette back in the day when MAC didn't have a clear top)
My Verdict: Praiseworthy. Reunited and it feels soooo good! I purchased Giddy back in the day only to find out it got discontinued in North America(was available in Singapore I believe). Fast forward to 2014, and it's finally here! I purchased a backup, I love it that much! Described as lightheaded pink shimmered with gold, it's a perfect pink for everyday. I wear this alone, or with my holy grail lipgloss from Beaute.
For now this is what I'm happy to keep, however in the future if I'm not using the Chanel quads and MAC pigment samples I'd like to purge those. Also when I find the time to depot my MAC shadows I have an empty palette that needs to be filled. That will make space for the items on my trolley, (eye/lip liners, lip glosses). The tools and extra brushes can fit on top of my vanity and most of them are travel sized brushes which can be put together with my travel essentials.
Readers what is the state of your makeup collection? Any tips and pictures to share?
Happy Monday Everyone! Only 2 nights sleep until Christmas! (happy dance!!!)
Since I won't be posting on Christmas Day I thought I'd update you on what's been happening/and will happen...
Finished wrapping gifts for friends and family...
We're having Christmas Eve dinner with C's family, and on Christmas day we're having lunch with my family. Planning to make this for our Christmas Lunch Potluck...
This year I also haven't done a wish list as my only wish was for an iPad mini, but I did find some great ideas for gifts. I just haven't had a chance to update a post with it, so I apologize but here are my past ones...Homesense, MAC (new version) Plus my Secret Santa fulfilled my stocking stuffer wish list this year. (the candles are beautiful if you're still stuck on ideas.)
Lastly, Wishing you and yours a Happy Holidays! If you're travelling, safe travels! And even if you don't celebrate at this time of year, I hope you at least get to have a wonderful meal shared with good company!
My Verdict: Praiseworthy. I recently ordered these in my last Sephora VIB haul, and couldn't wait to try it. Jaclyn has a video up using it and I've tried it with her recommendation (texture from MAC). I've also tried it with texture and saddle(MAC) for a more intense look and switched up saddle for Chanel Ombre Contraste Eyeshadow Duo in Sable(my Holy Grail, I have backups!). Also Jaclyn is right, there is a lot of fall out from the eyeshadow, so beware! Lastly, I use the kitten smudge stick for a pop in the inner corner, it lasts forever! I also swatched it as a primer and eyeshadow on top, and it lasted the full day!
Don't mind the messy shadow, what can I say, it's well loved!
