Unearthing My Make-Up: Shopping The Stash Vol.3

So what have I unearthed from the stash for this week? 

First up is the Too Faced Romantic Eye palette. I had high hopes for this when I got it and while I found it okay at the time, it wasn't that amazing that I reached for it over and over. I plan to get good use out of it this week!

Also for the eyes is a Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in R.S.V.P. This was actually one of my first foray into higher end make-up. 

For the cheeks I have a Bobbi Brown Shimmerbrick in Pink Quartz, which is a beautiful shimmery blush/highlighter/bronzer product. Again this was one of my very first make-up products and I used it so much when I first seriously ventured into make-up. I chose MAC Immortal Flower blush as well, even though I use it quite regularly already as I thought it might go nice with Pink Quartz.

I also want to use more of Benefit's Moon Beam this week, it's definitely been neglected of late.

For lips I intend to try and use MAC's Half n' Half lipstick, Revlon Gold Dust lipgloss and MAC's Strange Potion lipgloss.

Unearthing My Make-Up: Shopping The Stash Vol.2

I was delighted with how last week's Shop The Stash went. I used some of the products from last weeks post every time I did my make-up, it really is a great way to fall in love with your make-up products all over again.

Now onto this weeks products!

My eyeshadow base of choice is going to be Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin. It's a great base but I often pass it over in favour of the Original or Eden.  I also want to get some more use out of MAC Paintpot in Genuine Treasure. It can be a bit patchy and does require a little effort so that's why it is often forgotten about. Eyeshadow wise, I am solely going to use the Urban Decay Naked Palette. I have a wonderful neutral MAC palette which I tend to grab instead of this. Also when I lived in America last summer, this palette contained the only eyeshadows I had with me so after such continuous use I think I just automatically go for other shadows now for a change!  I have chosen to use my Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Bourbon. A fabulous colour but I nearly always end up going for black. Definitely need to mix it up a bit!

Cheek wise I want to use MAC Creme Blush in Ladyblush. It was my first ever MAC blush but I've leaned towards powder blush as of late. I also want to use MAC Crew Powder, I haven't used it nearly enough.

On the lips is going to be Revlon Colourburst Lipgloss in Strawberry, it's definitely pigmented enough to wear alone. YSL Rouge Volupte in Lingerie Pink and NARS Turkish Delight Lipgloss.

And that's this weeks stash picks!

Unearthing My Make-Up: Shopping The Stash Vol.1

I have read quite a few Shopping The Stash blog posts recently (Emma over at Fluff and Fripperies is one of my favs) and I decided it was something worth doing. I certainly have a decent amount of make-up and it is inevitable that some things get forgotten about. 

Each week I am going to choose a few items that I haven't worn a lot recently and make the effort to use them in the upcoming week. I will keep the items near hand, in a little drawer unit on my make-up table so that I don't forget to use them! Oh, and the chosen items aren't going to be the only items I use for the week, I just want to filter them into my routine.

I don't think I'm going to confine myself to any particular categories just whatever products I feel I have neglected.

Right, let's see what's in the stash for this week!

First up is Benefit's Dandelion blush. It's a lovely light pink blush that I have been neglecting in favour of darker pink or peach blushes. I also have been ignoring my NARS Orgasm Illuminator. It should go nicely with Dandelion.

Lip products for the week will include a Philosophy lip gloss in Tinsel Town which is a highly pigmented red lipgloss. I am also going to be using my 17 lipstick in Beehive and Stila Lipglaze in Grapefruit.

For the eyes I will be using the Benefit Eye Bright pencil as well as 2 NYX Jumbo Pencils in the shades Oyster and Slate which I haven't used in such a long time. I will also use the Bare Minerals Well-Dressed powder under-eye concealer.

So that's it for this week, looking forward to rooting out more for next week!
