The big make up declutter : Cheek Products and concealer's

                                

 The Big make up declutter : Cheek Products and Concealer's

Merry Christmas!! I'm really sorry about it being over a month from the last post! With work being crazy, laptop troubles and the festive season. I hope you had a great amazing festive season! Now back to the post .. I started this series about 3/4 months ago and I thought I would continue it and hopefully finish it before 2016 (ekkkkk) !
So lets get to the cheek products 



I have thrown this Products away, I don't use them and some of them don't really suit me, The MUA concealer is not the best I have ever tried, The vivo bronzer is really old and needs throwing away and I prefer Holla to this one anyway. I never use the sleek contour palette its to dark for me. 

Moving onto what I am keeping  

Brushes wise I am keeping these, I don't use many face brushes but I do use all of these. I don't have lots the same brushes or the same purpose brushes  so I use these pretty regularly. My favorite brush is the second from the top, its great for applying blush, highlighter and bronzers and  also for blending product and it doesn't remove the foundation from your face either.  One of  the reason why I was getting rid of the elf brush is because sheds.  


There are some of these products that I am unsure of but I am keeping them to try them out - Both Bourjois Bronzer and the Rimmel one .The collection shimmer brick is really old and needs to thrown away but I really like the highlighter. The products I am keeping are some of my favorites. Soap and Glory Glow all out is  one my favorite product and favorite cheek products. The Revlon concealer is one of the favorite concealer I have used yet. I am still trying out the Kick ass concealer and I occasionally reach for High beam but I do like it!

The Make Up declutter : Eye Platte





The Eye Platte  Declutter !

Now I have been wanting to declutter for a while but there have been certain part of my make up collection I haven't been looking forward to decluttering and that is eye palette and lip products. I haven't thrown a lot away compared to the last declutter post on eye products but I find eye palettes so useful so its harder to let go of them .
.

This is before the declutter, there was barely any room for it all. So let the declutter begin!!





I'm saying goodbye to these, I never reach for them and some of the shadows are really bad quality . The Barry M palette and the NYC palette are not the best palettes I have ever owned and that is why they will be going.


I am keeping these 4 because they are really good shadows, the collection Palette is amazing! Especially because it is only £2.99, all the MAC shadows were ones I picked myself and I love them.Now with the Naked 2 Palette I find myself going phases with using it all the time that notg using it for a while. I love most of the colours and I know I have got a lot of use out it so I will keep it, that same for the MUA pretty edgy palette as well.

   

These I'm not sure on. The MUA palette are decent palettes but the collection palette has all the staples colour I would need and its a lot smaller. The Make Up Revolution palette I haven't given enough of a test so I might hold on to that one for a little longer. The Estee Lauder Palette has two beautiful colours but its lacking a shimmer base colour for me and that makes it inconvenient for using it.
Update :I have kept Make Revolution and Front cover but have gotten rid of the rest of them.

The next declutter will Cheek product (Highlighter, blush bronzer) and concealer's

The big make up declutter :The Eye make up edition






The Big Make Up declutter :The Eye make up edition
I have been seeing a lot of these kind of videos of declutering of make up collection which have inspired me to declutter mine aswell as the fact that it gets messy and unorgansied really easy. So  I thought it was time to say goodbye to some stuff I have barley used and probably needed throwing away. I haven't thrown everything away but I would say at least 80%. Now I count my eye palettes as separate (strange, I know ) but to me they are different and I find having palettes more useful and I do store them in different compartments 


I have kept some of of my fav's like the hypno star mascara and the Mac zoom lash but also kept some of the  stuff that is expensive and I have not had the chance to try. The reason why I got rid of most of my mascaras is that most if not all of the high street ones have started to smudge on me which is really annoying especially as I have started to become more busy  and I need my make up to stay put for as long as possible. I have thrown out some single eyeshadows like these ones

The Update!!
A couple of weeks after the clutter and I have thrown most of that away, I kept it in a bag to see if I would ever reach for it again and I haven't so I thrown most of it out. I have kept the two faced shadow insurance because its growing on me and I have finished up my Benefit Stay don't stray but that's the only thing I have really kept. I have made a purchases of a new mascara but apart from that that is it.
I think the next declutter will be either foundation or Lip Product (gasps and cries in the corner)

Make - up Empties 2015

Make -Up Empties 2015


This is an empties post with a twist.. its all about makeup. I have had a bot of a  de-clutter and clear out  and have finally thrown out dried up makeup and used up products so lets get to it.


Stay Don't Stray Benefit Primer  
I love this product I will repurchases it in the future but at the moment I have 3 eye shadow primers 
that are not near finished, I will be doing a comparison on all high-end eye primers I have but until then I will just let you know I really like this one!

Smash box Photo finish foundation Primer 
I liked the primer with the Relvon nearly naked foundation, but I wouldn't purchases it again because I don't think it would be worth the price of the actually product. 

Benefit They're Real Mascara
This was the first Benefit mascara I tried and I'm pretty sure it the UK's number 1 selling mascara  which I can see why but after trying Roller lash I prefer the look that Roller lash gives my lashes.

Fat Cat Mascara Me Me Me
In all honesty I only tried this mascara once and I haven't used it since I cant really remember it being that good, it wasn't really memorable so I wouldn't recommend it and I don't think I will ever use it again.

All about Face mascara
I picked this up years ago for under 50p it wasn't totally crappy but I don't think its sold any more but for under 50p it was a pretty good deal.

Maybelline 24 hour colour tattoo eye shadow

I love these eyeshadows they are great for if you are in a rush, because when I'm in a rush I literally dip my finger in a swipe and it looks like you have made more of an effort rather than jut swiped eyeshadow on in 3 seconds. I will buy the bronze colour again. Another plus is that they don't dry up quickly.

June Favorites 2015


June Favorites
I know its really late but better late then never and some of these products are still favourites in July as well. 


May and June have been crazy months for me and July has been no different so I haven't had a chance to try out many different products I have been sticking to thing that I know work and been enjoying them or found a better way to use them. With saying that I have a couple of things that are new to me. 

Benefit Give Me Brow
I have recently got into doing my eyebrows, but with being a newbie to the eyebrow game and game is far from on fleek but with the gimme brow it makes it easy and it looks natural to me. I have the maybelline one I haven't really road tested that one but I will give that a road test soon. 


Soap and Glory Glow All Out highlighter
I pretty sure this is not the first time it has appeared in my favorite, I have been using this with the Loreal true match foundation on my face and I love how it looks, it looks natural with a hint of glow. I like how it has slight colour but not enough where you can become heavy handed with it and mess up your whole face of make up.  I have been loving applying it with the brush in the picture but I just dont know what brand the brush is. (Sorry) 

Lancome hyno star Mascara
Since starting a new job I have really been putting my mascara to the test and with all the ones I have/ had in my collection this was the only one that has not smudge on me and make my eyelash look great, its a great product but it is expensive. 

Loreal True Match 
I recently picked up this foundation in Superdrug on offer and I have been wearing it most days, I like the way it looks on my skin but I would recommend a primer but like how easy it is to blend and apply and the colour match is good as well.

Kiko Face skin glow
 I love this, if you like to have glowy skin then this is the one. it sits well under make up and it makes your skin look amazing!! I used it almost like a primer not as skin care product and it made my skin.look amazing!!!  Also its currently on offer on there website for £4.10.
