Decluttering My Makeup Stash


I never thought that I would able to do a 'declutter' blog post. I'm well known to be a hoarder of things but I indeed, promised myself, to try to be minimalistic as possible when we can finally move into a bigger place. These are the products that I wanted to get rid off / give away. Read on to find out why.


1. Maybelline Volum' Express Falsies Everlasting Waterproof Mascara

Ahhh.. My very first Maybelline mascara. I did raved about this product a lot before. But when I finally got my hands on the Maybelline Rocket Volum' Express mascara, my life changed. I hate clumping. The formulation of this one is a bit thick for my liking. I do know that it is a waterproof mascara, and its very hard to get rid off plus, I'm not a big fan of its curling capabilities. But this thing definitely adds volume.

2. Maybelline Colorsensational Lip Gloss

Here's an old product from Maybelline. I got this for $5.00. I think it was pretty pricey for a Maybelline lipgloss, and I don't know why I bought it. This has a very minty flavor and it really gives a high-shine (which I love) buttt, it's getting old and runny so I think Its time for it to retire. lol.


3. Tarte Mini "Anna" Maracuja Lip Gloss (Comes in The "Carried Away" set)

I am in love with this Tarte product. As you can see from the photo above, I literally used the heck out of this one. I'm in love with the color, shine and its long-wearing quality. I can take a bath, eat my lunch and drink with this on. Kind of sticky, but I really loved this product even so. I just kept it there because of my attachment to it and I only have to throw it because Its already been finished.

4. Allue Lip and Cheek Tint

I don't like its consistency. Its very liquidy and doesn't last long on the cheek / lip area. I guess I'm gonna have to give this one a new home. :) 

5. Penshoppe Lip Balm

I only bought this because I wanted to avail a limited edition One Direction album. HAHA lol. I need a single receipt purchase for me to be eligible to grab one, so I did bought this one. I tried it on my lips, at first I was like, "okay, just another lip balm with a different kind of flavor" and the next thing I knew my lips were chapped and are in need of constant moisturizing. I have a lot of lip balm / smackers stories and I'm very happy to be finally able to find one that works for me. If you have one that you wanted to throw out ASAP, stop. Go ahead and use it with your favorite fragrance. Apply this on the area you want to apply your fragrance with and spray it on top to make the smell last.


6. Missha Shiny B.B. Cream

I like this thing because it's very sheer and light. It's basically the perfect B.B. cream if it weren't for the amplified amount of glitters. I guess I need to be a Cullen to pull this thing off Haha x I'm gonna have to pass this onto someone else—or keep one at least. 

7. Forever 21 Lip Gloss

Sticky but smells great. I don't like the distribution of these kinds of product. I tend to use a lot more than I intended to which is messy and a waste of product. Since it's been with me for a year now, I guess I need to throw it out now. The flavor of the product change and it made it disgusting... so good bye, old friend. (But I will definitely repurchase a new one again soon lol)

That is it for today's post. Thank you so much for reading through everything and I also encourage you to slowly start decluttering your own makeup collection. You don't want those empties / icky things flood your counter top hehe. 

I'm sad to say that the Iron Suit Project will not commence. We have found a problem with the piece that we're making. Buttt, there's a new project coming soon. I promise to make this one work even if it might take a lot of trial and errors to get this right. Go visit A Raconteur's Adventures for more info. :)
