Hi all! Happy March! I am excited for a new month. To wrap February up, I’m going to give my thoughts on how the latest Shop My Stash went. Each month I will usually add my empties to this post, but I only had one this month. So I will hold on to it and post it with my March empties.
I chose the five products above. You can read more about them and see close up photos here.
My goal in these is to use some of my products more frequently, and also decide if I need to keep them all or pass them along to someone who will get more use out of them than me. Of course some of these I knew I was going to keep (Modern Renaissance), but others I wasn’t sure about.
I think it was a fairly successful month. I haven’t been feeling well, so I didn’t wear makeup every day. But when I did, I tried to use at least one of these products.
Out of the three eye shadow palettes I chose, I used the Chocolate Bar and Modern Renaissance the most. I stated at the beginning of the month that I hadn’t yet reviewed the Chocolate Bar or Venus III yet on my blog, and that’s still true. I will try to review the Chocolate Bar this month. I think I may be passing Venus III on to someone else. The shadows aren’t very easy to work with and the shimmers are so glittery. It is pretty though, and I think my daughter will love it!
I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep the LORAC bronzer or the Wet n Wild highlighter, but I found that I love them both! The bronzer is really nice, especially while I’m still fair. If I get a (faux) tan this year, I can use another bronzer, but for now I’ve moved it with my every day makeup next to my beloved Butter Bronzer. It’s so good!
The highlighter is so gorgeous — it’s the perfect tone for my skin! It is a bit glittery, so I will use it for evenings and special occasions. But I do really love it, too!
I’ve chosen my five products for March and will hopefully have that up tomorrow. I’m excited to get started on giving some love to some different products!
Have you done a Shop My Stash? How did it go for you?
Sometimes those glittery highlighters weave their way into a place in the collection even if they are super glittery. My mac snowflushed is like that for me. I couldn’t part with it even if it’s so solidly not every day wear.
I agree! It is fun to have it in my collection.
I’m always shopping my stash. I used my Chocolate Bar palette today for a rare neutral look as I wanted something lighter today.
It’s smart to do! Use what we have. That’s a great palette for a neutral look!
