FOTD

I don't know about you, but when I purchase new makeup, I often have a tendency to forget about older products. Its a problem, I know.

Today, I attempted to rectify that problem by mixing little old with a little new.

Also, my brows don't look that scraggly in person. Promise.

The Lip Products

I always see "What's in my bag?" or "What's in my purse?" videos on YouTube and thought I'd do a little spin off as I cleaned through my makeup. The photos below represent my lip product collection after I threw away a number of old, unused products.

Side note: Most of my makeup purchases began back when MAC products like 3D glosses, which will be pictured, came out. And I stopped purchasing by collection soon after the Moonbathe collection came out, which is still one my my favorite packaging styles to date. That being said, a lot of my MAC products were limited edition. That isn't as prevalent in my lip products, but if I continue this series there will be largely non purchasable products.

That was an incredibly long side note....!

On to the makeup, I tried to organize by type but then realized I left out a NARS lip gloss/stain, so it got stuck in the last photo.

Addict, Literally

I headed out for a makeup shopping adventure today- looking for a gift for a friend. (If you're curious, I purchases Chanel Glossimer in #156 Pampille for her.)

For myself, my shopping adventure lasted long after I left the mall. All summer I've had a list of cosmetics I intended to purchase. Needless to say, the list is empty now- although that includes a few things I saw in person and decided against. My purchases included:
