My Makeup Collection Part 1 of 2

 Hey Y'all!

I learned a few things, as I always do when taking video for these blogs. I didn't even think of the screen mirroring when using the front camera, so everything is a bit wonky, but most everyone can tell what things are and I didn't want to re-film them. I also finally learned how to remove the background noise on my phone, YAY. What app or software can I use on my (Android) phone to do voice over? I think that would really help make better, easier to follow videos. Let me know your suggestions below!

Since I have 4 makeup drawers I decided to break it into 2 blogs. One, so things don't drag on over several blogs and get boring. Two, they're really isn't that much to share. I have a decent sized makeup collection but nothing like some BIG youtubers/influencers/beauty gurus have. Three, I just did a declutter not long ago, and will do another in the fall.

The previous declutter blogs:

On with the show!

In this first part I'll be showing all my face stuff  and half of my eyeshadow palettes. They used to be separated, drug store & high end, but that's not completely accurate now.


Face products, all put away!

Eyeshadow Palettes!


My thoughts:
I need to do a makeup challenge, so I use more of what I have, especially cream products.
My top three here are~  Shiseido Face Sunscreen, BH Cosmetics* Truffle Blush, and surprisingly the Ulta Beauty Moroccan Magic Eyeshadow Palette.

*I am anxious to see what is going to happen with BH Cosmetics, currently it looks like there is very little available, and what is there is deeply discounted.

My least favorite item~ Urban Decay Naked Reloaded, I've mentioned this palette, and the brand before, but they've completely lost their edge. In their defense however, if you look at social media, and polls all the major brands do, it seems like boring Becky makeup is what the majority of consumers want. While all things nude definitely have their place (and are needed) it's a little sad to see what used to be an "edgy" high end brand become what UD is now. Especially since there's no one (that's not an indie brand) currently doing anything that may be considered different, or edgy. All that said, I do enjoy this color story, I just wish it were better.

What are your thoughts (on any of the brands, or makeup in general)? How do you like the video, pic, text combo? What would you like to see for part 2? Let me know in the comments below, or find me on social media!

Have a great day,
Craftin' Wife
