#marchshopmystash – Forty, Flirty & Fabulous

Hi all! Happy Sunday and happy March! The weather is so nice in Kansas City today, it’s supposed to be in the 60’s. What’s the weather like where you live?

I’m always excited to play with new (again to me) color cosmetics that I either haven’t used in a while or haven’t used much at all! My goal is to get more use out of the products I have and to see if they are something I want to keep.

This month I have chosen products that I have only used a few times, but I am excited to see how I really feel about them. I’ve picked out two palettes, a blush and a highlighter palette and two really interesting lip products. Since spring is on it’s way, I went with softer tones:

Such gorgeous products! I’m excited to play with these!

Here are close ups of each product:

Sigma Enchanted palette — This palette screams spring to me. I think enchanted is the perfect name for it. It’s almost like a fairy palette, lol! Plus there are greens and a gold for my St. Patrick’s Day look (I always wear green and gold on that day. My dad was part Irish). I’m very excited to play with this more.

bareMinerals Gen Nude Eyeshadow Palette in Neutral — I chose this so I would have a neutral palette as well as my fun one for March. I love the formula on this and the shades are perfect for every day.

Natasha Denona Bloom Blush and Glow Palette — I received this in a Boxycharm Premium last fall. I haven’t used it a lot, so I want to give it some love. I think it looks perfect for spring.

Vice Lip Chemistry Lasting Glassy Tint in Pink Slip and Low Key — high-gloss lip tint that reacts to your pH and creates a custom shade unique to your tone. Its lightweight, balm-like texture gives your lips a hit of hydration, so they feel moisturized. The lasting glassy tint adjusts to you; the color fully develops and reveals itself after just a few minutes and lasts up to 5 hours.

Steve Laurent Lip Liner in Chic — this is a nice nude pencil. I forgot I had it and just found it. I love nude liners because they work under any lip color.

Swatches:

The lip pencil in Chic and the Lip Chemistry’s in Low Key and Pink Slip

I am very excited for these products this month. I have used the eye shadow palettes a few times each, but not the other products. I am looking forward to trying them out!

Do you do a Shop My Stash? What products are you focusing on this month?

Hi All! It’s time for my March Shop My Stash! I’m ready to dive into a different set of products I want to play with.

I’m so excited about all of these. Some are very new to me and some I purchased last year.

Here are closes-ups of each item:

This is the Dose of Colors Desi x Katy Friendcation Eyeshadow Palette. I purchase this on sale in December. It is usually $55, it was on sale for $27.50, plus I had a 20% coupon! It’s a nice palette, but I have to say I only purchased it because it got such great reviews. I have yet to review this on my blog, but I will this month. I’m looking forward to trying it out. I’ve only used it a couple of times, but the shimmery shades are sooooo glittery (not my fave). I am going to pair the mattes with the next palette.

I received this tarte Rainforest of the Sea ™ highlighting eyeshadow palette vol. III in my January BoxyCharm. I have to be honest, I’ve swatched this, but haven’t tried it yet. It’s all shimmers and one matte. These swatch really nicely, so I’m going to pair this with the Friendcation palette. I think it will look nice with the neutral mattes in the palette.

This is probably my oldest product in this Shop My Stash. I’ve had the Laura Geller Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator Palette for about a year and a half. I bought it at Ulta’s 21 Days of beauty. You can see that haul here. I don’t really use this. I think the shades are just a bit dark for me, but I’m going to give all three of them a good go this month. And if I don’t enjoy them, I’ll pass it on.

I haven’t really tried this Becca Glow Gloss in Malibu Soleil which is a mauvy rose. I got this in the BoxyCharm Charm Room last fall. This is a little darker than I usually wear, but I thought I would give it a shot!

I was a Julep Maven since 2012, until they shut down the subscription in February. That is so sad! So I thought I would pay homage to Julep by including one of their products this month. This is the Eyeshadow 101 in Champagne Shimmer. When apply it lasts all day! I swatched it below and I wiped all of the other swatches off, but it would not budge.

This is so nice on the inner corner of the eye or all over the lid.

Here are some swatches:

From Left to Right — The highlighers in Ballerina, Gilded Honey and Peach Glow. Next to them are the Becca Gloss and the Julep cream shadow.

So these are the products in my March Shop My Stash. I think they will be fun to play with this month!

Have you used any of these products? What do you think of them?
