Beauty Product Declutter

 Hello, everybody! How was your weekend? I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I've accumulated a lot of products again, so I decided it was time to go through everything and get rid  of products I don't like or have too much of. So without further ado, here's everything I'm decluttering!

Matrix Biolage Smooth Proof Serum

 I still have a ton of hair oils even though I've decluttered quite a few already over the years. Since my hair is fine, I only use the tiniest bit of oil. There is no way I'll ever go through all the hair oils that I currently have. I decided to keep a couple small jars of oil and get rid of this large bottle.

It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream

 

This shade was just a little bit too dark for me. The product itself isn't bad, but I live in the pnw and we don't get a lot of sunshine here. By the time summer comes around again this will be expired.

Estee Lauder Futurist Skin Tint Serum

 This was a perfect shade match for me, but I could not make this foundation look good on my skin. I've tried no primer and then all different kinds of primer. I applied this using a sponge and a brush. Nothing I did could make this look nice on me. It accentuated my pores and creased all over. Such a bummer!

These colorful hair ties

 

I asked my husband to pick up some hair ties for me a long time ago, and he grabbed these bright colored ties. I never use them. If I'm using this type of hair tie, I reach for my neutral shades. I have 2 shades of brown and black hair ties that I use. I think I'll keep these around (just not mixed in with my hair stuff) to give away to anyone who comes over and needs a hair tie.

Hair Dryer Brush

I've used this a couple of times, but I just never reach for it. The brush part doesn't work for me. I'd rather just use my traditional hair dryer.

These hair clips

I liked them when I bought them, but I never use them anymore. I'm trying not to hang on to anything I don't actually use.

 

Not pictured: Coty Airspun Powder

I didn't get the chance to snap a photo of this. My mom saw that I was getting rid of it, and she asked if she could have it so I gave it to her. I barely used it. The powder is HEAVILY scented. Like, headache inducing. The powder itself is fine. It's a great drugstore option if you can get past the smell.

Cover FX Illuminating Setting Spray

This setting spray has glitter in it, so I never use it. If it didn't have glitter, it would be fine.

NYX Cosmetics Jumbo Eye Pencil in Yogurt

I never reach for this anymore. The color is nice, but I never use it.

Bare Minerals Maximist Eyeliner

I didn't like the brush for this eye liner. It was hard for me to get clean lines with it.

Wet N Wild Single Shadow in Creme Brulee

I never reach for this either. I usually just use a neutral shade in whichever palette I'm using that day.

Revlon Matte Powder Blush in Blushing Berry

Like most of the makeup items in this post, I never reach for this anymore. The shade is beautiful, but I don't use it.

BH Cosmetics Rose Blush Duo

The highlight shade in this duo is too dark for me, and the blush is shimmery. As you can probably guess, I never use this.

Meidian Green Mask Stick

I have two of these, and I really only need one.

That's everything I'm decluttering for now! Thank you for stopping by, and have a great week!

My Makeup Collection 2018: Eyeshadow Palettes

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?  It was sunny and warm here for a change!  David and I worked on our garden and got a lot of veggies planted.  This is our first time having a garden, and I'm so happy to finally have one.

Today I have my favorite MMC post for you!  Eyeshadow palettes have always been my weakness when it comes to purchasing new makeup.  Specifically limited edition palettes and palettes with beautiful packaging.  No matter how hard I try to purchase something different, I always end up buying a new eyeshadow palette when I have extra money to spend.

What is your favorite drugstore eyeshadow palette?  I need to purchase some soon because I have mostly high end palettes.  I've had a few drugstore eyeshadow palettes in the past, but they've all been underwhelming or terrible quality so I ended up giving them away.
