February Empties

EMPTIES

• Swisspers Cotton Tips 240 Pack ($3.75) - I like these, they don't fall apart on me and work well to remove nail polish or makeup smudges. I like buying this size because it fits nicely in my drawers but the larger packs are better value.
• John Frieda Frizz Ease Dream Curls Shampoo 250mL ($15.99) - I still like this shampoo, but my hair is going through something at the moment and just isn't curling the way it used to. I'm not sure what has changed in my routine other than that I sometimes use a different shampoo than this, but I don't know if that would've caused it either. I'm going to use up what I have of the other shampoo and go back to using this, but maybe my hair needs a change of products too. 
• The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit Hand Cream 30mL ($7.00) - I don't really like this, The Body Shop aren't a company I like to support and I just don't think this is a very good hand cream. It's very greasy and doesn't really hydrate, I like the scent but that's about it. I also hate the packaging, it gets slippery after you've applied product and the corners of the tube are sharp and will stab you if you hold it wrong. 
• Carmex Classic Moisturising Lip Balm 7.5g ($5.99) - This is still my favourite lip balm, I'm always going to repurchase this, I just have other lip balms in my collection I need to use up before I buy another Carmex. 
• Neutrogena Makeup Remove Night Calming Cleansing Towelettes 25 Pack ($7.99) - These are still my preferred makeup wipe, but I would like to switch to using cleansing balms because they're less wasteful. If I use these too often they do cause skin irritation so I try not to use these excessively anyway. 
• Cover FX Blurring Primer 1mL (SAMPLE) - I didn't like this, it did blur my pores but foundation didn't want to sit nicely on top of it, it sort of balled up and made my skin look chunky and gross (especially on my nose). I had a really hard time layering products over this primer. The texture of this was similar to NYX Pore Filler but thicker, and I know Pore Filler works for me so I'd rather just keep using it. 
• Essence Shine Shine Shine Wet Look Lip Gloss in Behind the Scenes ($4.10) - I really like this gloss, it's super shiny, it's thick but not sticky, and it's really comfortable. I don't love the scent, but I don't hate it either. This is a good cheap, cruelty free gloss that I would repurchase. I love having a clear gloss in my collection and with this gone I won't have any which is a little sad.
• Keune Style Curl Cream 200mL ($27.00) - I really love this, I just wish it held a little better because after two days I lose a lot of the definition. I do love how this makes my hair look and it doesn't make my hair stiff at all, it's a great curl cream.
• Cutex Strengthening Nail Polish Remover 100mL ($4.99) - This is my favourite nail polish remover at the moment because it doesn't strip my nails and make them feel weak. It also lasts a really long time so I'm happy to keep repurchasing it.

Kaleidos Makeup Futurism IV: VR Neon Palette
Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipstick in Flamethrower
Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipstick in Queen Bee
Bare Minerals Lashtopia Mascara
From Lilac You A Lot, I used Ghostin' as a transition shade, then deepened with Zoned Out. I focused Filtered on the outer corner but also brought it through the crease a little. I used these shades on my lower lash line as well. On my inner corner I'm wearing Cloud and for my lid I sort out cut it with glitter glue and then packed on Hologram from VR Neon. I had to mix Queen Bee and Flamethrower for my waterline because Flamethrower on its own was a little too red but because they're drying out it was really hard to get colour to transfer onto my waterline.

Bare Minerals Lashtopia Mascara 

I'm really happy with this look, although I think it looked better in person. I used Ashanti from Tribe as my transition shade and then deepened with Dominatrix from Androgyny - I focused this on the outer corner as well. For my lid I mixed Glamora and Nuclear from Sci-Fi Green to create a chartreuse shade, I packed this combo over glitter glue. For my inner corner highlight I used Koro from the Tribe palette. I don't normally like how olive tones look on me but I found this look really flattering.

I mixed Nathan and Fully Nude for my eyeliner but just used Fully Nude as my lipstick. For my blush I layered Peach Primrose and the pink shade from Juvia's Place palette. I used the shade Note To Self from Yes, Please! to create faux freckles but you can't really see them. This look was actually really pretty in person but doesn't translate very well on camera - I also hate this photo so that doesn't help.

I'm a little annoyed that the black ended up looking so blue, I'll have to try this again with other blacks in my collection to see if I have any that are warmer because this just isn't as dark or rich as I was hoping it would be.

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipstick in Fully Nude
Duo Lash Adhesive

I just used Glitch from VR Neon for this look, I meant to use the duochrome shade from the Tribe palette as an inner corner highlight but I completely forgot to. I used both shades of the blush duo and layered Princess Cut on the high points for a little extra glow. To get the gems to stick I used a tiny bit of lash glue.

I started by using Moonlite through my crease and under my eye, then I deepened with Da Ba Dee. I used Clued In to deepen even more, focusing on the outer corner and really close to my lashes on the lower lash line. For my inner corner highlight I used Lumi but you can't see the blue shift on camera (all these shades are from Blue Moon). I packed the shimmers over glitter glue and used a mixture of Bellini from Sweet Peach and Snack from Jawbreaker to get this shade of peach.

For my eyes I used Butter Cupcake as a transition and deepened with Flamepoint, I packed Hologram (VR Neon) over glitter glue on my lids and under my eyes I've got Glitch (VR Neon). My inner corner highlight is just Vanilla Quartz but the other areas of my face that I highlighted are a mix of Moonstone and Vanilla Quartz.

FEBRUARY 19TH

NYX Epic Ink Liner

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

I'm not wearing any other makeup here because I was just practising an idea I had, I'm really happy with how it turned out, I'm just worried I won't be able to recreate this and that if I tried to do this over other makeup it wouldn't work.

For my eyes I used Gravitea as a transition shade then focused Martian Soil on the outer corners, also bringing it through the crease and under my eyes. I used Titan to soften any harsh edges and packed Interstellar on my lid over glitter glue. On my inner corners I'm wearing Pluto. Side note, I didn't have a great time using the Cover FX primer, my foundation didn't want to stick on top of it at all and it just looked really gross.

I used Phone Home as my transition shade and then deepened with X-Files. To add even more depth I used Black Hole. On my lower lash line is just X-Files, but I did use Titan to blend out any harsh edges. I've got Probe on my lid and Pluto on my inner corner.

I packed Opulent (Ooh La La) on the lid and topped it with Ballet Baby, I have Princess Cut on both my inner corners and for the pink eye I have Diva on the waterline. On the blue side, I used shades only from the Blue Moon palette. I used Moonlite as a transition and under the eye, deepened the crease with Starry Eyed, further deepened the crease and outer corner with Fine China, and packed Tide Pool on the lid. I also used Ballet Baby over Tide Pool. On my waterline for this eye is a mix of Blue Velvet and Breakfast at Tiffany's

My goals for next month are to finish the perfume and setting spray, and I think that's achievable.
