A foundation. I rarely finish anything else makeupwise. And the Dip Brow Jar? I use mine a lot for more than a year now and have barely mad a dent!
Maybelline Fit Me concealer. This is my second time finishing one.
Milani Bella Gel Eyeshadow in Bella Ivory. It is a perfect base shade and only $5. Probably even less than that. Used every bit up. Working on a few others so won’t repurchase just yet!
And I forgot. I used up my first ABH Brow Wiz. I got a good 7 months out of it and I used daily. Already bought a back up but I’m working through a sample Benefit Precisely My Brow. It’s ok but no Brow Wiz and the packaging is hideous! I should pull out my Dip Brow. I stopped using it once I got my Brow Wiz!
Smashbox Primer Water – did not repurchase
Had a real hurtful reaction to that one on upper lids. Maybe the fragrance, idk. Three days of only hydrocortisone cream! Gave that one away quickly. Fortunately, there are a lot of good choices. Being oily/dehydrated, always prefer to try a water formula. That certainly wasn’t it.
Oh no! That’s horrible. I just feel like makeup setting sprays are a myth ? I have not found one that I feel does anything for me. I’m super oily, have tried all the urban decay ones, Mac fix +, whatever other popular ones I can’t think of right now haha. Anything you’ve found that works for you?
Tarte Gifted Mascara – I have a backup or two left, but after that I’m not repurchasing after that because Tarte has become a brand I don’t want to support anymore after all that has happened recently.
MAC Craving Amplified Cream lipstick…and I always repurchase. I love it!
One of my all time favorites and HG for that color category – love the texture and finish.
Pearl, I dread to think what I’ll do if MAC decides, in one of their bone-headed flights of whimsy, to discontinue it (I mean, if they can discontinue Copperplate, anything’s possible!)
?
How is it that with my redonkulous collection of MAC lipsticks, I *still* do not have Craving (or its sister color, Amorous)??? ?
It may just not be a colour for you, Nancy. I’m pale (sort of paper-coloured!) and cool toned so it’s good for me but if you’re warmer toned and look good in peach and coral tones, it might not be the best for you. But then again, it might be fabulous! Certainly worth checking out. I generally have 3 tubes of it on the go at any given time!
Off the top of my head, Farmacy Green Clean Cleansing Balm!
Mac Studio Fix powder foundation and Clinique Tenderheart lipstick. I repurchased both.
Tom Ford Illuminating Primer – not sure about re-purchasing. I guess if I’m going to, I should do it now with the Sephora sale. It worked fine but I didn’t really care for the scent. I think I prefer the scent of MAC’s Strobe in Peach and they seem to work the same.
Haha knowing that Estee Lauder owns both MAC and TF,it most likely is the same stuff just wrapped in different packages with two very different price tags?
Buxom Black Pearl insider eyeliner, and I’m going to replace it with UD Uzi or MJ (Stone)Fox during the Sephora sale.
Lancôme Definicils mascara, and I did repurchase though meanwhile I’m also exploring as I think it’s ok but not HG.
At about the same time, Lorac eyeliner in bronze and yes, I did repurchase.
A deluxe sample of Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara. The full-sized item was Nyx Angel Veil.
Fab triple duty. 3x/year, about. Combo 2nd layer eye cream and pre-concealer. HG; virtually none in m/u, though a few in skincare.
A tube of Maybelline Full & Soft Waterproof Mascara….then opened up a tube of Lash Sensational Waterproof Mascara, which I used to adore. I *need* another tube of Full & Soft!!! Realized that there had to be a reason why it was my HG mascara for several years.
MUG vanilla single eyeshadow. Took me ages to go through and I used it to set my primer. Not very pigmented. I will not be repurchasing.
Mascara! Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Wet. I didn’t throw it away bc it expired. I used it all up fast bc I love it so much.
Hmm… I think it was an Essence Make Me Brow! Luckily I ALWAYS have a backup of it. 😀
Colourpop nillionaire sss!! Im on my third pot of it!
This is impressive! How often do you use it?
I use it 3/4 times a week! It’s so glittery, and goes so well with my brown/hazel eyes, so when I’m running late and don’t have time to carefully carve out my crease, I’ll just tap/pat some nillionaire onto my mobile lids, lightly blend and go!
It does make sense then!
Once again you do go through products faster than me… Still trying to pan this highlighter of mine ?
I’m embarrassed to say this but I think the closest thing to a makeup product I’ve ever finished are lip balms…last one I finished was Dior Rose Baume. I’m going to try the Bite Beauty Agave mask during the Sephora sale since I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews about it. (OH! Speaking of Bite Beauty, did anyone else notice that all of their high pigment lip crayons are marked down to $14 on the Sephora site?? Consider this a PSA in case that product is anyone’s holy grail… I know I love the Pomegranate one!)
ABH brow whiz… dropped it abd broke it after only having it for 2 weeks. Luckily I got it wheb Ulta had it for half off and I used my points.
Simple micellar water, loved it, will repurchase!
MAC studio fix powder, have a backup but will use NYX stay matte not flat powder. Heard it was a dupe for MAC.
Guerlain Lingerie de Peau foundation. Thought I loved it but ended up not being sure. I’ve moved to a city with a different climate and don’t have my daytime skincare routine dialed in yet which might be the real issue. I think I need a better hydration/plumping situation.
All in the last week:
Tarte lipgloss that came in Sephora Give Me More Lip set ( this years set), on my last wear of Smashbox lipstick in Cognac (will be 3rd time repurchasing), Benefit Brow Fiber Gel, KVD Setting Spray, Dior Foundation (will not replace, switching to Lancome) and Maybelline Shayla Big Shot mascara
