March Empties and Favorites

[calico]

Another month, another list of empties. What did you use up? What products did you love using?

[robinsbff]

i'm still in love with the laura mercier caviar sticks. so easy to make me look put together - swipe, swipe, blend, add mascara, done. also i've been into my fresh lip balm. spent a few nights in the hospital and it was critical there to keep my lips from cracking and peeling.

LOVES:

- this Charlotte Tilbury eye shadow stick. Very flattering. www.sephora.com/product/colour-chameleon-eye-shadow-pencil-P434001?skuId=2102531

- UD sheer shame and NARS multiple in orgasm. Just such an easy way to brighten up.

- Daily Concepts dry brush. My skin is crazy soft. www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod16631065


Empties:

- UD sheer Liar. Already repurchased.

Favorites:
Make Up For Ever Ultra HD self-setting concealer. I've been using it blended all over my face as a foundation and it looks so skin-like and natural. It's helping me use less powder.

Benefit Dandelion blush. This is pretty much the only blush I use anymore. It's flattering and perfect, especially as it's getting warmer.

Chanel Le Crayon Khol in Ambre is another perpetual favorite.

MUFE artist shadows. I have a trio I created and I use it pretty consistently.

Drunk Elephant Vitamin C serum. Really all of my skincare right now.

Empties:
Paula's Choice Defense moisturizer with SPF 30 (not technically empty just yet, but will be this week and I'll forget by the end of April). Repurchasing because I love it.

My empties have SIGNIFIGANTLY decreased since we moved. I can't even blame it on not wearing makeup because I'm furloughed. So, maybe I'll blame it on being in a rut, not using product and getting used to a new storage set-up. Yea...that sounds good.

Empties: It Cosmetics Superhero mascara

Yep- that's it. One whole empty.

Favorites: TF Peach primer. There was a mini tube in a gift set or a sample. I would pick up a full size once I finish my MAC primer.
I'm back in love with the NARS sheer glow foundation. I just need to not cake it on with the beauty blender when I get frustrated with my skin.

centralsquare what color of the Charlotte Tilbury eye pencil do you have? It does look really pretty.

March Empties
I can't think of any.

Loves
Morphe eyeshadow palette I got in my boxy luxe. It just blends so well with and no creases.

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea eyeshadow palette from Boxy Jan. It's a good combo with the morphe one since the morphe doesn't have a ton of lighter shades.

Love the Becca Lipstick that came in the boxy luxe

Wet and Wild lip pencils and eyebrow pencil have been added to my daily routine.

Elf Camo Concealer is a win for me.

Elf Dewy Setting Spray - don't love the sprayer but my make up has been really looking fresh all day.

bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream - It's okay. Slowly I am getting better on application of this. But some days it looks cakey and I worry that it's going to run out faster than I am used to. I wish there was a decent drugstore alternative.


No Love
KVD Light/Shade Eyeshadow Palette. It's just so boring. I do love the black shade in it but really never use this anymore.

Becca under eye brightener/concealer that was $32 dollars for nothing. Flop.

L'Oréal Paris Makeup Infallible up to 24HR Fresh Wear Liquid Longwear Foundation - Flop

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Full - Flop

Empties:
-Deluxe sample of Caudelie moisturizer (will not purchase)
-Deluxe sample of Lancome gel moisturizer (SUPER will not purchase--this was tossed early as it really disagreed with my skin)
-YSL Babydoll mascara (might rebuy someday when I'm out of sample-sized mascaras)
-UD 24/7 liner in LSD (will not rebuy anytime soon, only because I have way too many eyeliners)

Favorites:
-ABH Sultry palette

I'm really in a rut with my cheek and eye products, and I'm not even loving either anymore. This is probably a sign that I need to rotate products out of my vanity drawer and dive into my stash for some spring colors I haven't used in awhile.

Favorite

Weleda Skin Food

It’s super rich (has lanolin in it), and I was skeptical about using it under makeup. But my new favorite IG makeup artist, Katie Jane Hughes, swears by it as a makeup artist essential. So I’ve been doing it all week and I’m in love. Under NARS glow radiance foundation and my skin looks super healthy and dewy.

I rarely get zits and my skin is on the dry/dehydrated side. So that may account for my love.

Wait. On your face?!

I totally forgot about another favorite. Someone on here recommended biafine for burns. Well, I had a bad blister on my leg from a bootie, so I ordered some and have been applying it after the blister popped. I am so impressed at how quickly it is helping my skin heal. Normally I get PIH that sticks around FOREVER after bad blisters or bug bites, but I don't even need to dab on concealer because the spots are almost gone.
