Beauty ¦ Shop my stash #3

I've ended up in a bit of a makeup rut at the moment and I've found myself reaching for the same products in a daily basis so I thought do a shop my stash to liven up my routine a little.

 

Miss sporty Morning baby bronze BB cream.

This little bottle of magic is amazing for mixing in to super pale foundations to darken them up and add a beautiful bronzey glow. I also really like it as a primer. The only reason I haven't used this much is because I had no tan at all however now I have some colour I feel like I'm going to get loads of wear out of it.

 

Bourjois Healthy mix foundation

I love the serum version of this so I picked up the original version. I've found this is actually a lot darker than the serum so I haven't been able to get much wear out of it. Hopefully like the bronze cream I will be able to get some more wear out of it now I have a bit of colour.

 

 

Essence xxxl long lasting lip gloss Matte effect - Silky red

This is something I was so desperate to try out but I keep forgetting about it. I love the formula of these as they don't feel dry and gross like some matte lip products can. This is a beautiful true red shade which I cannot wait to get more wear out of.

 

Maxfactor Miracle touch creamy blush - Soft pink

I love this blush but because it's so tiny I tend to overlook it and completely forget about it. The name of the shade is pretty perfect. It's a gorgeous soft pink that looks lovely with most lip and eye looks and leaves a lovely subtle flush on the cheeks.

 





The Balm Balm voyage

Because this is such a massive palette it's right at the bottom of my palette draw meaning I have a habit of forgetting about it. This palette has the most amazing mix of shades and it also contains 3 cheek and lip colours. Some of the shades are not to my taste but the mix of neutral and earthy tones

work really well for me.

 

So that's it for today's post! I'd love to know how often you shop your stash?





Beauty ¦ Shopping the stash #2

Whilst I was sorting through my stash a couple of weeks ago I realised that I've fallen into a bit of a makeup rut and I've found myself reaching for the same products day after day. So I thought I'd do a shop my stash post and try and boost myself out of said rut.  

Mua Hall of Fame palette - £4.00

I got this for christmas and I haven't really given it a proper try. It's got a gorgeous mix of shades that are all really buttery and pigmented. I'm really impressed with the longevity and blendability and I can see myself getting a lot of wear out of it. 

Mac Up the amp - £15.50 

I love this lipstick and I wore it to death in the summer but since then I haven't really reached for it. I love the shade and it looks amazing paired with a light brown eye and really glowy skin. 

Collection Eyeshadow pencil Vintage blush - £2.99

I really love the shade of this and it makes the most lovely base for eyeshadows, it's a gorgeous rose gold shade and I've never really found another shade like it. It blends beautifully and has a really lovely lasting power.

Seventeen Mirror shine lipstick Beehive - £4.79
This is starting to look a little gross and I just want to get it finished, despite this I've not being using it recently. I love the shade and the finish I just want to be able to buy a new one thats not all gross and mashed up.

Korres jasmine lip butter - £6.40
I love this and it smells like cake but it's not that hydrating so because my lips were so dry it wasn't cutting it. Since getting my nuxe reve de meil and pairing it with my blistex my lips have been in a much better state so this is nice to use under my lipsticks in a morning. 

Catrice Ooops nude did it again - 2.79 eur

I used this on my brow bone religiously when I first got it and then I just popped it back in my stash and I haven't really used it since, it's the perfect brow bone highlight shade as it's slightly shimmery but not full on glittery. It also make a really lovely inner corner highlight. 

Seventeen Define and conquer contour kit - £5.99

In all honesty since I picked this up I haven't used the contour shade on my face, for the first couple of days I used the highlight shade as a setting powder. It was one of those third 3 for 2 purchases so I'm not too bothered about it getting left although I would like to give it a proper try before I write it off completely. 

Natural collection Pink cloud - £1.99

Natural collection blushes are amazing quality for the price and I used this shade religiously for so long but then as I got more and more into makeup it got pushed away to the back and got overtaken by the likes of Topshop and Rimmel. I really want to get back into using it as it is the most beautiful but natural everyday matte pink. 

Shop my stash #2

My last shop my stash post seemed to go down really well with you lovely lot, so yesterday when I was having a rummage around in my stash I decided to dig out another 5 products that have been a little bit neglected. 

Natural collection blushed cheeks - Pink cloud -

I used to wear this blush so often, it's such a gorgeous colour but it got pushed to the bottom of my stash and in all honesty I completely forgot I had it. I really can't wait to use it again. 

Rimmel scandal eyes waterproof kohl kajal - 001 Black - 

When I first tried this I really liked it, but I stopped wearing liner on my waterline so I stopped using this. Recently I've been using a little bit of kohl liner on my tight line so I'm going to try this out again.

Maybelline colour tattoo - Pink gold - 

As most of you are probably aware I really love the Maybelline colour tattoo's but since getting my mac paint pot for Christmas I haven't really used any other cream shadows so I'm going to pop this in my everyday draw and hopefully get some more use out of it. 

MUA power pout - Justify - 

I loved this last summer but haven't worn it through autumn and winter as I was all about dark lips. But as spring edges nearer and nearer I'm hoping this makes a big comeback!

Bourjois Smoky eyes trio - 05 Rose Vintage -

This is such a pretty trio and I love the way the colours are together. I have no real reason for not using this, it's just been neglected a little bit. 

So that's it for today's post, have you guys found any gems by shopping your stash?
