My Current Makeup Collection Pt 1 (Face, and Lip Products)

 Hey Y'all!

Let's look at my current makeup collection! It's been a year since my last big makeup post.


Disclaimers:

I'm not trying to brag, just sharing something I enjoy. I also love seeing others spaces.

Nothing here was given to me by a company, either I purchased it or it was a gift from family/friends.

I do get rid of a few items, but this is not a declutter!

The stuff from this month's everyday shelf isn't included here.


I did a lot of swatches this time, so let's get into it!


Face Drawer:



Mascaras, primers, and eyeliners!












Items that I got rid of.

I kept all cream products, the Anastasia Beverly Hills is nice, as are the Sephora Cream Highlight palettes!

Highlight.



Yes, I do have 2 rainbow highlight products, and yes, I kept them both.





I thought these two looked similar in the pan.



Not so much once swatched.

I wasn't sure if these looked alike or not.

They don't!



The middle one will be a nice bronzer.



These 2 were decluttered. I am not messing with a tiny loose highlight.




The box had to go here, maybe now I'll remember I have these.


Multi-purpose palettes, I didn't swatch these, they were fresh in my mind.


SO MUCH BLUSH!

Here's another I thought look similar..



I may need my eyes checked, LOL.


My only purple blush is Lorac, but they currently don't have a purple.

These ended up being way more pretty than I thought.



The rest of my face products. Anything with an "X" was tossed.



All re-organized, and looking pretty!

The decluttered stuff.


Lippies:

I swatched every single one of these, but must have forgotten to take a picture (or accidentally deleted it) in the RED section.

All the lipsticks!

Fun colors.
I kept all of these, but one.







I forgot to edit it, but I got rid of the TooFaced Unicorn Tears it was passed time.





Nudes:
Lots of nudes.













The circle color indicated the section these were moved to. I felt they fit more there than with the nudes.




Purples:









I felt these two were way to "samesy" so I decluttered the Urban Decay.



Pinks:
There is a picture missing here too, of all the pinks together.... I know I took the picture, so I don't know what my phone did with it.




Moved to the nudes.

 

That one (TooFaced Melted...) was not quite right, so it got trashed.




   


Reds:

Red, reds:

This is where the swatch picture should be...….


This Ulta and the Stila were very similar, color and formula wise. Good to know, but I currently don't need both.

Burgundy:



The color was a bit different this time, but I don't wear red often enough to need both.

Orangey Reds:


These are all very alike, and I just didn't need them all.



Decluttered from the lip category overall:


I got rid of a few things, and I'm happy with what I've kept so far. I know eventually I need to really go through the nudes and do a declutter, but they all fit in their case, so I'm good with it currently.

Next  Beauty Blog (May 19th) is my eyeshadow collection! EEK!

Have a great day,

I ran out of time to do the blog I had planned (marker comparisons). I'll get to it soon, and use this Q & A for filler as needed.
Next blog (Wednesday) is part one of my current makeup collection. (Face products, and all lip items, with swatches!)
