Shop My Stash October 2019 Results and Monthly Empties

Hi All! I’m back with my October Shop My Stash results! I enjoy dipping into my collection and using products I haven’t used in a long time, or just haven’t given much of a chance.

My rule with this is if I don’t like the item after the month, I will move it out of my collection to make some room and let someone else enjoy it! You can check out my first Shop My Stash post for October.

Unfortunately, I was sick for the last two weeks or so, so I didn’t wear makeup all month,

My most used products were the eyeshadow palettes and the essence highlighter. I used each palette a few times, the same with the highlighter.

The essence highlighter is so gorgeous! It can be worn sheer for a soft glow or built up to really shine!

I already let go of the Laura Geller blush. It was too dark for my skin tone, and it’s too old. And I have to say that I’m not really a fan of the Colourpop lipsticks, especially the Blur formula. It is pretty drying on my lips and the Creme formula isn’t much better.

Here’s photos with the eye shadow palettes open:

I really do love this Natasha Denona palette. I created a pretty pumpkin spice look with the orange and yellow shades a few times and also really love the red and purple shades. I am definitely keeping this beauty!

I love this Huda Beauty Smoky Obsessions palette, too! I create really pretty everyday looks with the brown mattes and the lighter shimmers. And the black and silver made a fun Halloween smoky eye! I love the quality of these shades and will be keeping it!

I think this is the first month this year that I’m getting rid of more than one item! I guess that’s good because my collection has really grown this year!

Now on to my empties:

As usual, my empties are mostly skincare, but I do have two makeup items. I’ve had my Tarte Shape Tape for over a year, and it’s finally empty. I might purchase it again in the future. It’s a nice concealer, but I have a few I’m using now and probably won’t need to purchase a new concealer well into next year! The Flower Beauty Seal the Deal matte spray is okay, but smells like perfume, so I won’t purchase it again.

I used up two cleansers. Skin & Co Whipped Cleansing Cream and Dr. Brandt Yogurt Cleanser. The Skin & Co cleanser is amazing at removing makeup and it so hydrating. I would purchase it again. The Dr. Brandt one was okay. I got it in a BoxyCharm. It’s expensive so I wouldn’t purchase again.

For the rest of the skin care, The Skin & Co Truffle Toner is amazing — so cleansing and hydrating. I would purchase again (and if you want to purchase from https://skinandcoroma.com/ and use code LORENA20, you’ll get 20% off your order!).

The StriVectin Neck Cream is lovely and so is the Mamonde eye cream!

October was quite a month. Since I was sick for over half of the month, I’m glad it’s over and I’m looking forward to November. Bring it on!

Ulta Beauty Spring Haul 2019 Week 2

Hi all! I hope you’re having a great weekend! The fam and I went to see the Avengers Endgame today. It was three hours of action and emotion! So good!

Last weekend, I shared my first weeks haul here. Ulta Beauty has a drugstore beauty sale two weeks each spring after the 21 Days of Beauty. Each week had new sales. This is what I purchased the second week:

Tree Hut Firming Sugar Scrub Mocha and Coffee Bean

The Body Shop Banana Body Yogurt

Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes

EcoTools Full Powder Brush

Juvia’s Place The Warrior Eyeshadow Palette

ULTA Watermelon Facial Mist

e.l.f. Cosmetics 16HR Camo Concealer (Light Beige (light with golden beige undertone))

L.A. Girl Shady Slim Brow Pencil (Espresso)

L.A. Girl Ultimate Lip Intense Wear Auto Lipliner (Forever Bare)

FLOWER Beauty Petal Pout Lip Mask (Smooch (petal pink))

Not pictured — Physicians Formula Butter Highlighter (Pearl) — It shipped separately, and I haven’t received it yet.

I got everything from 30 – 50% off, which is really great deals! The only product that was not on sale was the e.l.f. concealer. But, it is only $5 and I really wanted to try it!

My most exciting purchase is the Warrior Palette By Juvia’s Place. I’ve been wanting to try one of their palettes, but some of the color combos confuse me. This is a neutral palette that is very easy to use and is a safe way for me to try out the formula. I have done a look with the palette that was so pretty, and I swatched them (see below). The mattes didn’t swatch as well as the amazing metallics, but they worked well on the eyes.

So gorgeous! I am looking forward to playing with this more!

These are the rest of the color cosmetics I purchased. I have been searching for an affordable, but awesome concealer. So far I like this one. The Flower beauty gloss/mask is very pretty. I always needs a light lip pencil, and this one is such a pretty shade. My only miss is the eye brow pencil. I LOVE the L.A. Girl formula. I received a free one of this in a GWP I got with last years sale. The shade has worn off, so I purchased it in Espresso, but I think the one I have is a darker color. My brows are almost black, so this is a bit light and warm for me.

Here are swathces of thecolor cosmetics. The lippies are perfect, the eyebrow pencil a little light, and I think the concealer is a little yellow for me. But I will still try out the formula!

Let me know if you would like me to review any of this! I will probably do a Review of some of these and my 21 Days of Beauty Haul.

Did you purchase anything from the sale? Or are you going to shop the Sephora VIB sale? I’m a bit broke, so I don’t know if I will pick anything up.

2018 Annual Beauty Favorites

Happy New Year! I am so excited to get 2019 started.

I haven’t done a monthly favorites since October — the end of the year has been so crazy! But I want to look back on a few of my favorites for 2018. I’ve chosen my favorite makeup in each category I use — and a skincare favorite or two.

Even though I am just picking one (or so) from each category, I needed two photos to capture my faves. And I am going in order of application:

The two skincare products I’ve chosen are the Derma E Firming DMAE Cleanser and the Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream. I featured the Derma E Cleanser in my most recent Project Pan. I was proud that I panned it, but I’m also sad that I’m all out! It really cleanses the skin without drying it out. And it didn’t irritate my sensitive skin. I just started using the Elemis cream. It is so beautiful! I started out using it morning and night, but I’m almost out, so I only use it in the morning. It’s so nice under makeup. It’s smooths and hydrates my skin and my makeup applies smoother.

I then like to spritz some Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water. I discovered it this year and really like using it before pore filling primer. My favorite has been the Cover FX Blurring Primer. I’m almost out of it, but I love how well it fills in my pores. I received it in BoxyCharm and am very impressed bye it. I want to try more primers from Cover FX this year. I next like to apply BECCA Under Eye Brightening Corrector before I apply foundation and concealer. It instantly makes my dark circles look lighter.

My favorite foundation this year is the Physician’s Formula The Healthy Foundation. I have it in the shade LC1. It’s a bit light for me, except for this time of year. I will probably purchase it in a darker shade for the spring and summer. It has a natural medium coverage finish which is exactly what I like in a foundation. I have used up a Flower Beauty Light Illusion Concealer and am working on a second one now that I found in my drawer. I think the first one I used was in Fair and this one is in Light, but they are both so beautiful on. It’s full coverage but looks very natural. I just panned the Maybelline Fit Me Loose Powder in 10 Fair Light. I have been using it for most of 2018. It sets the face so nicely and gives a hint of color.

After I apply my foundation and powder, I bronze with the Physician’s Formula Butter Bronzer. I purchased this in the spring and have been using it all year! It applies smoothly and blends out so well. And the smell is divine! The Natasha Denona Super Glow Highlighter in #1 Fair is one of my favorites of the year. I purchased this when I was trying to buy the Anastasia Amrezy Highlighter earlier in the year, but it was sold out. (I have recently purchased it and will be reviewing it soon). The Natasha highlighter is very blinding, but can be toned down with a little powder.

Speaking of Anastasia, I purchased a Blush Trio in Peachy Love earlier this year at an Ulta sale. I love mixing the first and third color to brighten up my light skin. I also love the bareMinerals Gen Nude Powder Blush in On the Mauve for cooler toned looks. To finish off face products, I want to mention the Urban Decay setting sprays, especially the Chill Cooling and Hydrating Makeup Setting Spray. I used it up this fall and don’t have the bottle, but it was my summer setting spray. It feels so nice on and my makeup lasts all day.

For eye shadow this year, my favorite is the Urban Decay Born To Run Eyeshadow Palette. I love the quality and the variety of colors. My honorable mention is one I just received in my BoxyLuxe, the Violet Voss Holy Grail PRO Eyeshadow Palette. I don’t know when this was released, but it’s new to me! I still need to review it, but spoiler alert, it’s gorgeous!

I have short, sparse lashes so although mascara helps, my lashes never looked amazing until I started using the L’Oreal Voluminous Lash Primer under my mascara. I received a small sample in an Ulta order in Spring and I purchased a full size. I think it’s time to get another one, because I don’t want to be without! The Buxom Lash Mascara works perfectly over it and my lashes look long and lush, almost like I’m wearing falsies!

Although my lashes are sparse, my brows are dark and full. As I age, they are finally thinning out and I have started to fill them in. I received the L.A. Girl Shady Slim Brow Pencil as a free gift the same time I received the L’Oreal lash primer. The words have rubbed off, so I’m not even sure what the shade is. I think it’s Blackest Brown. Whatever it is, it’s perfect for me! It’s very thin and easy to draw on brow hairs. And it has a nice spooly on the end. I’ts only $5.99 so I will be purchasing new one once I run out.

And lastly is lips. I am sooooo glad that gloss made a comeback this year! Light rosy and nude glosses are my favorites. I love a lot — Buxom, Lorac, Dose of Colors — but my favorite is the Fenty Gloss Bomb in Fenty Glow. It’s a beautiful nude-rose shade and is really hydrating, not sticky at all. My favorite lipstick is the Lipstick Queen Nothing But the Nudes in Nothing But The Truth. I also love The Truth and The Whole Truth. These are the original three in the collection, but there are now 6 more nude shades and I want them! These lipsticks are creamy and hydrating on. So nice if you like nude lipsticks!

Whew! That was a long post! What did you love this year? Any winners I should check out?

Project Pan October-December 2018 Final

Hey all! Happy New Year’s Eve! This is my last Project Pan of the year! And it was successful! I used up all of the products above.

You can check my other posts on this pan. The first one is here and my update is here. I only did one update on this one.

If you look at the photos on the other posts, you can see that they are a little different. I couldn’t find the bottle of my Pixi Retinol Tonic. I did use it all up! And I added the Maybelline Fit Me powder. I had it in my second Project Pan of the year and finally used it up. I’m so proud, so I thought I would show it!

I’ve currently moved on to other makeup and skincare. If I did need more products, I would repurchase the Flower Beauty concealer, the Fit Me powder, both Pixi products and the amazing Derma E cleanser!

This year was my first time doing a Project Pan in my many years of blogging. I have learned that it takes a loooong time to use up makeup! I used the three LORAC glosses every day, multiple times a day and it took me three months to use them up. The powder took forever, and the concealers also took a fairly long time.

So, I have decided not to continue with Project Pan’s next year, at least not for a few months. I think since I have so much makeup (and it will take forever to use up), I’m going to post a monthly Shop My Stash. I think I’ll choose 5 makeup items each month that I am going to incorporate into my makeup routine and see how much use I get out of them.

Did you do a Project Pan in 2018? How did it go?

Project Pan October-December 2018: First Update

Hi all! I’m back with my first update on my last Project Pan of 2018. You can see my first post here.

I’m attempting to use up 5 skincare and 5 makeup items. And it’s going pretty well. I haven’t used up anything yet, but I am getting close!

I just have a little bit left of my Pixi products. I should use them up in a couple of weeks. Same with the Talika Eye Dream. This is almost gone. The Derma E cleanser is still going strong. I’ve been using this for a while and it is really lasting! The Yes to Cotton mask is the only thing that’s taking me a while to use. I keep forgetting about it! But I did use it 4 times last month. I want to try applying it twice a week from now on. We’ll see how it goes!

I do really like all of these products. They all help my skin look smoother and clearer. I’ll let you know if ‘m going to repurchase when I use them up.

My makeup pan is going okay. I think the Flower Beauty concealer is almost used up. It’s taking a few dips in to get enough concealer to apply. I’ve been concentrating on the concealer, but have used the Colourpop one a few times.

I’ve been wearing one or a combo of the lip glosses every day in October. I don’t know if you can see from the photo, but it looks like the lightest one is separating on the bottom. I might have to stop using that one. If I don’t use them all up by the end of the year, I’m going to toss them. They are over a year old and it’s either use them up or throw them away!

I think I should get through most of these products. I think the interesting thing I’ve learned so far this year is that I have way more makeup than I will use up! I’ll talk more about that at my end of year round up.

Have you done a Project Pan this year? What are you learning from it?

Project Pan October-December 2018

I’m back with my final Project Pan of the year! I’m pretty proud that I’ve done three so far!

As you can see from the photo above, I have 5 makeup items this time and 5 skincare products. This is the most makeup products I’ve had in a pan so far. Hopefully I’ll get through them all! Here are the products I’ve chosen:

These are the LORAC Mod Lip Gloss from the Beauty and the Beast Collection that launched last year. These shades are Savoir Faire (nude peachy rose), True Beauty (pale mauve) and Belle-ieve (nude). I’ve had these for abut a year, so they are at the end of their life span! They are very hydrating (not sticky at all) and are so pretty alone or over a lipstick.

I’ve recently purchased and received a bunch of lip glosses, so I need to use these up. I would say they are about half or 3/4 used up, so hopefully I can get through all three by the end of the year. I am trying to use them every day, and even multiple times a day since they are so hydrating.

Here are swatches of the glosses — Savoir Faire, True Beauty, and Belle-ieve. I love all three shades!

I am trying to pan two concealers. The top one is Colourpop No Filter Conealer in Light 12 and Flower Beauty Light Illusion Full Coverage Concealer in Light. I’m trying to use up my concealers, because there are so many new concealers that have been released that I want to try. But I don’t want to buy any until I use up a few!

These are both nice, here are swatches:

The left is the Flower Beauty one and the right is the Colourpop. The Flower Beauty concealer is more moisturizing and the Colourpop is more matte. They are both really nice and I eventually might buy them both again. I actually have a back up of the Flower Beauty one, but it’s in a different shade, I think Fair. Which will work out in the winter when I am paler.

I think the Flower Beauty once is only about a 3rd full and the Colourpop Concealer is about half full.

Now on to the skincare! Left to right is Derma-E Firming DMAE Cleanser, Yes to Cotton anti-pollution Oxygenated Facial Mask, and the Talika Eye Dream.

The Derma-E cleanser is so nice. It cleans without drying and leaves my skin soft and firm! It’s about half full. The Yes to Cotton mask is almost full, so I need to use it a few times a week to empty it by the end of the year. I just have so many masks I need to start using. The Talika eye cream is hydrating without being greasy. It’s about half for 3/4 full.

Last but not least are these products by Pixi Beauty. The Retinol tonic is over half full and the wonderful Rose Glow Mist is under half full. I have lots of mists and need to use some up!

So that’s my 4th and last Project Pan of the year! I’ll be doing updates and hopefully I will use it all up!

I’m still deciding if I’ll do this again next year…we’ll see!

May 2018 Beauty Favorites

May has flown by! It was a busy month, and I am looking forward to lazy summer months! June is my birthday month, and it’s a big one (drumroll please) … the big 5 0!

That is crazy to think about, but I’m looking forward to a new decade to explore! My birthday is June 10th, and this weekend I think I’m going to do a birthday beauty wish list. No one buys me makeup, but it won’t hurt to put it out there! Maybe I’ll buy mystelf something nice.

On to my May faves! This month, I have loved the following gorgeous makeup:

Flower Beauty Light Illusion Liquid Foundation ($13.99 USD) — This foundation is medium coverage, which is what I like! I mix two shades Ivory L2 and Nude L3 for my perfect shade. It feels very weightless on and gives me a natural finish. I wouldn’t say its dewy or matte, just looks like my skin, but way better!

Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume Mascara ($8.99 USD) — I received this in a gift with purchase at Ulta. I haven’t used it in years, and realized how great it still is! I usually go for lengthening mascara, but this one gives me length as well as the promised volume. And it doesn’t flake or smear!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Eyeshadow Palette ($42 USD) — A day to night palette with fourteen shades, including essential mattes and glam shimmers. I just bought this a couple of weeks ago, and it is really growing on me. I seem to be doing the same look over and over with it, which isn’t like me at all! But, I’m hoping to try more looks and hopefully I will find it more versatile than I think it is! I will be reviewing this very soon (plus the Too Faced Life’s A Festival Eye Shadow Palette I keep saying I’m going to review!).

ColourPop Ultra Blotted Lip in Love Bite (pinky nude) and Ultra Glossy Lip in Just Surfed

(warm beige gloss drenched in silver and pink glitter) $6 each. These are from the ColourPop and Eva Gutowski collaboration. I can’t wear matte lipstick alone because my lips get to dry, but with a gloss over it, I love them! This looks gorgeous together and lasts for hours! I need to pick up more Ultra Blotted and Glossy Lips stat!

Physician’s Formula Butter Bronzer ($14.99 USD) — I bought this a couple of months ago after giving into the hype, and I’m so glad I did! At first, the scent was a little strong for me, but I am used to it now. The color is gorgeous and applies so smoothly on. It’s the only bronzer I am currently using.

What are you loving this month? Anything new and fun, or something that you have rediscovered?

Brand Review — Flower Beauty

Happy Monday! I was recently sent Flower Beauty products for my honest review. Flower Beauty was founded by Drew Barrymore to give women the best quality makeup at affordable prices.

I haven’t reviewed Flower Beauty for a few years, and have been wanting to try some of their current products.

I was so excited to try this foundation! I’ve heard really good things about it. Light Illusion Liquid Foundation ($13.99 USD) — This claims to have buildable coverage, while imparting your skin with the most flattering soft luminosity imaginable. All with a weightless, nude skin feel. Imperfections and uneven skintone are diminished. Only a flawless, smooth, and incredibly natural complexion is revealed.

I do really like this! I received the four lightest shades (above) They all kind of look the same in the bottle. But they are different. Right now my perfect shade is a mixture of Ivory L2 and Nude L3. The L2 is a bit light and the L3 is a bit warm, so together, they are perfect! I think Warm Beige L4 will work when I faux tan, and I’l probably give Porcelain L1 to my daughter.

This is about medium coverage, which I like. I don’t enjoy full coverage, it feels like I’m wearing a mask. It does have a little bit of an illumination, but it doesn’t make my skin shiny. My skin has felt dry lately, and this is so comfortable on. And it lasts for hours, too!

Available in 12 skin-perfecting shades.

I love trying new concealers. These are the Flower Beauty Light Illusion Full Coverage Concealer ($9.99 USD). This contains blurring pigments to help diffuse dark circles under the eyes. It’s full coverage, dries down quickly and gives a hint of illumination. The formula contains an infusion aloe, chamomile extract and caffeine.

The shades above are Fair on the left and Light on the right. I am using Fair now and will probably use Light in the summer, when I have a bit of a tan. Four darker shades are also available.

FLOWER Beauty’s Seal The Deal Long-Lasting Setting Spray ($12.99 USD) creates a sweat-proof & rub-resistant barrier that maintains your makeup for a fresh just-applied look that lasts all day. The invisible formula will keep your skin looking beautifully matte all day long.

This has a fine mister and feels so good when applied. I have noticed that it helps keep my makeup fresh. I’ll probably use it more in the summer, when it’s hot and humid and I need to mattify. My skin is usually a little dry, but not in the Kansas City summers!

Lift & Sculpt Contouring Palette ($14 USD) is the perfect all-in-1 tool to define your face in a flash! The powders blend easily and layer together seamlessly for a professional sculpted effect.

I have the Light to Medium kit. I believe it’s also available in Medium to Deep. Here are swatches:

The bronzer and blush are a bit powdery and there’s some kick up in the pan. They are really pretty, though, and look nice on my cheeks. The highlighter is gorgeous! It’s a creamy powder and can be very blinding!

FLOWER Beauty’s Petal Pout Lip Colors ($8.99 USD) Pure color pigments apply smoothly, while conditioning & protecting lips with healthy antioxidants. Available in a soft matte and cream finish that wear comfortably all day long. With a spectrum of luxurious shades from bold to nearly nude, there is a perfect shade for every look and occasion.

I love the packaging of these, and all of the Flower Beauty products. They are an amazing mix of fun and elegance.

The shades are 015 Peachy Nude, a cream and 120 Fuchsia Flush, a matte. Peachy Nude is more my shade, because I like lighter colors. The formula is very hydrating. The matte one is nice, too. I might pick that up in a lighter shade. There is a matte color called Naked Blush that looks amazing!

Flower Beauty is available at Ulta Stores and Ulta.com
