Things I Used Up: July 2018

August 21, 2018Beauty1 Comment

It’s been a while, but I’ve been so busy with August, I almost forgot about my July post for the things I used up. Luckily, I haven’t been accumulating too many lately as I’ve slowed down the shopping for myself. I think I shop way more for the dog now!

In July I ended up giving away a few products that I thought would benefit the receiver more than I:

Lamella doll eyeliner
Mini Poni Miniso Magic Candy Lip Tint – Raspberry
Benefit 15 hour primer sample
Body Shop Mango Soap
Yes to Tomatoes Clear Skin Charcoal Mask
Hello Kitty Cherry Blossom Mask
Body Shop Vegetarian Expert Face Mask
L’Oreal Hydra Genius Essence Sample

And Here are the things I used up:

BH HD Brow Pencil – Ebony
Hello Kitty Horse Oil Essence Face Mask
Miniso Jelly Fish Collagen Face Mask

Things I Used Up: June 2018

July 4, 2018Beauty, LifeLeave a Comment

Another month, another Things I Used Up post. June was a bit hectic in terms of work so the list is a bit smaller, as I didn’t have time for many masks or trying new samples. There was a lot of quickly getting ready to head out somewhere, so I reached for my versatile palettes. I didn’t pan anything though.

Here’s what I used up:

Pixi Glow Tonic – This lasted me more than a year, so I’m proud to have finished it.
Face Shop x The Solution Brightening Face Mask
Tony Moly x Bart Simpson Jeju volcanic lava nose strip
The Face Shop x The Solution Radiance Face Mask
SNP Fruits Gelato Brightening Mask

Thing I Used Up: May 2018

June 14, 2018Beauty, LifeLeave a Comment

Oh my, it seems like the last time I posted was the last post of this series! A month passes by so fast. I finally have Fridays off for the summer, so hopefully, I can catch-up on some blogging. I have a lot to post about! But first to keep my de-cluttering resolution, here are the things I used up in May:

Smashbox Always Sharp Waterproof Eyeliner
The Face Shop The Solution Smoothing Face Mask
Nars Orgasm / Laguna Duo (panned a few months ago but wearing thing, so time to go!)
Be a Bombshell Some Beach Lip Crayon
Tony Mony x Bart Simpson Jeju Volcanic Lava Nose Strip
Dr Belmeur Skin Sync Ex Daily Repair Sample
Tony Moly Vital Vita 12 Synergy Serum Sample
Raccine Delicare Soothing Mask
The Face Shop The Solution Pore Care Face Mask

Thrown Away

Revlon Instafix Highlight Stick (broken)
Sephora Makeup Palette (estimated it’s from 2007, so getting old!)

Things I Used Up: April 2018

May 6, 2018Beauty, LifeLeave a Comment

Sorry for the lack of posts this year. Life at 30 seems to just pass by so fast. There’s been a whirlwind of emotions and events. I hope to post more about some of them soon. Meanwhile, keeping up with my resolution use up/trash products, here is my April list.

Things I Used Up:

– Clarins Extra Firming Nuit (sample)
– Real Nature Mask – Goji Berry
– The Solution Firming Face Mask
– Fox Animal Aqua Relax Mask by Xilix
– Shisheido Ibuki Sleeping Mask Mini
– Tony Moly Pikachu Mask Sheet
– Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash

Things I Got Rid of:

– Beauties Factory 120 eyeshadow palette (estimated purchase 2006)
– Sephora Christmas (estimated purchase 2006)

I realized that I had some super old palettes that I have been reluctant to get rid of. They have a lot of colours that haven’t panned, but quality-wise formulas have changed since and things I’ve purchased recently are 100% better. There’s sentimental value in these pans as it got me through a lot of fun themed pub nights in university, but now I’ve grown up into appreciating more quality make-up (than just owning a million colours).

There wasn’t much this month besides masks because, to be honest, I bought a bunch of new products. I couldn’t resist all the spring sales!

Going to make more of an effort not to buy too much though. Despite my huge vanity, I’m running out of space! Operation use more stuff shall continue!

FabFitFun: Spring 2018 Box

April 22, 2018Beauty, ShoppingLeave a Comment

I didn’t mean to totally subscribe to the FabFitFun box after the Sample Box, but I forgot to unsubscribe before it renewed me for the first real box (that’s how they get you).

When I arrived, I was excited at how packed it was of goodies, but I’m not sure how much of it is actually useful to me at the moment.

The first was this foldable Rachel Pally Reversible Clutch (retails for $60). The colours weren’t really my style so I ended up giving it to my sister.

I also gave her these Ettika Day Dreamer Tassel Earrings ($58). They’re pretty but I think not practical with a new puppy.

Personally, I was more into the make-up in the box.

This lipstick palette is full of gorgeous pinks and reds for nice subtle looks.

There was also this Murad Skin Perfect Lotion ($40). I can never get enough of high-end skincare options to try.

I also got a Dermelect Makeover Concealing Ridge Filler ($18), a treatment for nail ridges and to conceal discoloration. My nails are generally healthy except for when I do shellac, so I will save it for those moments.

Inside this cute little package was KNC Beauty Lip Masks ($25).

I love spoiling myself with masks, so these were a keeper.

I’ve been meaning to get a ball for my back for a while but this Physique 57 Massage Roller ($20) seems like the next best thing.

For beauty sleeping, this free-people leather eye mask ($40) is comfy, but found it a bit heavy.

I’m not the kind of person who appreciates a $45 Anderson Lilley Sunset Collection Candle in Fresh Linen, so I left my sister have it.

It comes in a minimalistic gold container. We also got separate care instructions e-mailed to us about the candle.

While they definitely deliver money value in each FabFitFun box, the items inside were both hit and misses for me. I tend to be more interested in cosmetics than household items, so I don’t think I’ll be subscribing to the summer box.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Aurora Glow Kit

April 15, 2018BeautyLeave a Comment

It’s been hard getting back into blogging after a break for wedding planning but going to get back to posting regularly again. I found this Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit at Winners for half the price. Bunz Make-Up Zone has been a great place to keep up to date on where I can get things for a steal.

The colours in the Aurora are beautiful like a unicorn and have a sparkly pigment. I’ve been really into highlighters lately so happy to add this one to my collection.

Things I Used Up: March 2018

April 5, 2018April 5, 2018Beauty, LifeLeave a Comment

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I just got married the past weekend, so it’s been a whirlwind few months. I’ll have a full post on that later when I get my official photos!

Here are some things I used up this Month! I used a lot of masks and moisturizers because I wanted my skin to be perfect for the special day.

Laneige water bank moisture cream (mini)
Llang On the Skin Truffle Sheet Mask
Belif the true cream moisture bomb (sample)
Juice Beauty Stem Celluar Anti Wrinkle Moisturizer (sample)
SNP Grapefruit Gelato Brightening Mask
Soft Miracle foot peeling pack
Spongelle Bulgarian Rose
The Face Shop the Solution Firming Face Mask
The Face Shop x Bart Simpson Juju vocanic lava nose strip
The Face Shop the Solution Brightening Mask

Things I let go of:

Sonia Kashuk Texture Taupe 08 eye shadow (gave it to mom)
SNP Grapefruit Gelato Brightening Mask x 2 (for the bridesmaid)
Various samples and minis for my wedding emergency kit!

I might have missed a few things in the hustle, but I’ll continue trying to track and use up more products. I have however acquired a few more beauty related things since the last post, so I’m not using things fast enough!

FabFitFun Sampler Box

March 14, 2018Beauty, Shopping2 Comments

I hear a lot about FabFitFun and see the ads everywhere, but I never thought about subscribing because I tend to only want the beauty stuff and less of the other products. I jumped at the chance to explore the Starter Box though when my friend offered me a code.

Most of the products that came in the box was make-up except this Gym & Juice bag from Private Party. I thought I wouldn’t use it, but it was strangely decent for carrying my dog around.

This dr. brandt PoreDermabrasion exfoliator was worth the box price as it left my face feeling clean and smooth.

This Doucce eyeshadow palette is smooth and creamy and also customizable. My friend and I received different palettes, so we’re actually trading some of the colours with each other.

The last product I haven’t tried yet, but is a Spongelle body wash infused sponge.

All in all it was totally worth the $8 that I spent on the Starter. On a side note, I kind of forgot to unsubscribe afterward, so I will be receiving the Spring Box.

Sailor Moon Eyeliner & Lipstick

March 11, 2018Beauty1 Comment

I found these at a Japanese festival in Mississauga and I could not resist buying them just for the packaging.

They look just like the wands on the show, but are secretly an eyeliner and a lip stick

The lip colour I bought was a soft pink and the eyeliner is a black pencil.

Look how cute they are! There are other pieces of this collection but they are rather hard to find or too expensive in Toronto. I haven’t actually used them yet, so I can’t tell you how the quality is but they’re fun to collect.

Sephora + Moschino Bear Lip Gloss Chain

March 7, 2018April 16, 2018Beauty1 Comment

I saw that this Moschino Bear x Sephora lip gloss thing was back in stock so I couldn’t resist getting my hands on it.

The gold bear fits any of the lip glosses that it comes with. Though I would never wear this as a chain, I love it as a decoration on my vanity. It is actually plated with 24k gold.
