I bought a Buxom Full-on Lipstick in Monte Carlo months ago and applied it maybe...once, since I've been wearing pinks and corals most often lately. Last night I applied it for the heck of it and was surprised how long it lasted. I had it on through dinner and drinks and while it had definitely worn off a bit, the color was still on my lips about 5ish hours later. I also really love the lip feel of the product - long-lasting lip stuff seems to feel heavy or dry, but this is very light. I also love the minty flavor!

Last week's rainbow challenge made me like my it naturally pretty palette a lot. That's the palette I have on the bottom of my like list. It's still there but I actually really like it now instead of meh about.
Yes (and I am trying to do this more and my stash may (possibly) be out of control, so I completely forget about some items...).
This week I rediscovered my Burberry Misty Blush, as well as Tarte Exposed Blush. Plus the ease and lasting power of my Laura Mercier eyeshadow sticks (right now rose gold for a simple one wash of color).

I've been playing a lot with my liquid liner, and last week I wanted to do some wings and found a tutorial that recommended using a pencil first and then liquid.
That made me dig out my Aveda black liner pencil. It's nice and soft but will sharpen to a good point. Reminded me how much I like that liner.
Two tools -- the Sonya Kashuk bent eyeliner brush and the Elf Smudge brush.
I slowly stopped using both when I got my Sigma brushes last fall, and have barely touched them. Back in February, I rediscovered the Elf brush, and a few weeks ago, started using the SK one again. They are both amazing drug store finds, and I'm now using both a few times a week.

It's been years since I have seen a picture(s) of your stash. I don't know how you remember you have most of it. I get stressed just thinking about using up what little I have.
I had bought this Dior Skin flash sometime last year and I forgot all about it. It's similar to YSL touch eclat and just recently figured out how to really use it. Now I use it almost every time I wear makeup to brighten up my eye area.
Yes! Just this morning. I was doing my lips and I reached for my Viva Glam V but grabbed my Viva Glam Gaga accidentally. I layered it over the Too Face Melted Chihuahua and it was magical! I had written it off some time ago as the bubble gum pink is too bright for me but now I'm excited about it again.

I was under the mistaken impression that I remembered what was in my stash, which I now recognize as denial. Especially after finding two LM under eye powders, multiple of the same setting powders, and blushes I forgot I owned just this week.... I have two sephora train cases still full, but the...10... mujis I have don't fit it all... And drawers... I need to do an overhall, the once organization system I (barely) had collapsed (like all my blushes near each other, bronzers together, highlighters, etc...).

Kind of. This weekend I went through all my makeup and samples, and reorganized my desk. I hadn't opened my MUF bday freebie from November and I liked the mascara and the lipstick. I found a Lorac shadow that I probably used once, but it's right up my alley - shimmery neutral. And I realized I had very few lip products and they were mostly stuff that was included in a set, so buying 5 lipsticks in the last two weeks was totally warranted!
I've been using my Marc Jacobs Twinkle Pop stick eyeshadow this week, and I don't think they had seen the light of day since last summer. They're so nice to work with, but I think the packaging makes them easy to push aside when I'm hunting for something else in my drawer.
I've started wearing Tarte Dollface Amazonian Clay blush again, also Bobbi Brown Peony. The bright pinks seem to do much more for brightening up my face than the shades in my HG Ambient lighting blush palette.
I swear, lately, the HG blush palette shades appear a bit orange/coral on me later in the day. Maybe I am surrounded by bad lighting? Either way,dislike!
I have recently fallen in love all over again with my N1. The colors looks so great on me . mfluder, yay! I feel like it's been a really long time since I've "seen" you.
I don't know if this counts as a rediscovery so much as a repurposing, but today I used my Makeup Geek Summer Fling blush for the first time since last summer and discovered it works wonderfully well as eye shadow, too. I thought it would be scary orange but instead it gives a subtle, warm, summery glow.
