How I chose these items were based on two concepts: 1) Which items have I had the longest (as in years)? and 2) What have I started that is almost done? I'll show you the products and let you know whether I will repurchase them or not. I've used them enough to know that answer.
Here are my 13:
Face:
1) Mary Kay Foundation Primer: I will not repurchase this simply because I have found another primer that I am completely happy with right now. (More on that in a future blog post)
2) MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC30 (summer shade): I will not repurchase this foundation because of the smell and there are others from MAC I'd like to sample.
3) L'oreal True Match Foundation in W5 (summer shade): I would repurchase this foundation. I like the coverage and that there are so many shades and tones to choose from.
4) Origins Silk Refining Powder Makeup in Camel 05: I will not repurchase this powder, it just doesn't do anything special.
5) MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Perfect Topping: I will not repurchase this shade due to being limited edition but I do in general enjoy MAC MSF's so of course I will be buying more. I also plan on using this as an all over face powder because it's not super metallic or shiny in finish. It gives a nice, subtle glow.
Eyes:
6) Covergirl Aqua Smoothers Concealer in Light: I really like this concealer. It is very creamy, gives nice coverage and reminds me a lot of Benefit Boi-ing Concealer. I would consider repurchasing this in the future.
7) Laura Mercier Eye Basics in Flax: I love many Laura Mercier products but this is not one of them. I have product left on the very bottom and the applicator will not reach it. I much prefer eye primers in a squeeze tube or pot form. The actual product works great but packaging..not so much. Needless to say, I will not repurchase this.
8) Origins eye shadow in Copper Penny: I love the color not so much the texture. I will not repurchase.
Lips:
10) Rimmel Lip Liner in Addiction: Nice dark nude color and I would consider repurchasing this item.
11) ELF Lucious Liquid Lipstick in Maple Sugar: I love this color! It's a mauve brown, not sticky, peppermint smell / feeling and only one dollar. Yes of course, I would repurchase this. :)
12) MAC lipstick in Angel: I love this color but I also own Creme Cup which is very similar so I won't repurchase this until I finish both. This is a beautiful soft pink color.
13) MAC Dazzleglass in Passing Fancy (limited edition): This color is a beautiful shimmery peach but Dazzleglasses are not my favorite MAC glosses so I will not repurchase this item.
There you have it, my list of 13 products I will finish up this year. I will keep you posted on my progress. Do you have any beauty items that you plan on finishing this year? Let me know - I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks for spending time with me today!

What a fantastic idea. I think I will borrow it. Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteSure thing! :)
DeleteMy LM makeup artist told me that if you take the round cap that the applicator goes though off the threaded part of the bottle on the eye basics you can reach the bottom of the tube and use up what is left. Pain I know, but at least you don't waist the product. They should use a tube. Love your blog and YT channel.

Awesome! Thank you for sharing that tip with me, I'm going to have to try it. I hate feeling like I'm wasting product, especially something higher end. Thanks Sue and thank you for being here with me! :)
