RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

welcome back to the junk drawer of random beauty thoughts and musings. it has been nearly a year, so i think it is time for a rew RT thread ! 

 

when i'm doing my makeup in the morning, my dog sometimes throws a fit until i move his food bowl over to where i'm sitting. i'm certainly not the diva in our relationship.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

Wait...Oompa Loompas want to look pretty, too!

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

Maybe some people are into the Donald Trump look? 

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

So, I just saw my name pop up on the Wheel of So Choix November YouTube. Looks like I will be getting their "existing member" prize. What a pleasant surprise!

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

Now I'll have to explain to my spouse why yet another So Choix package has been delivered to our home 🙂

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

It is ORGASM, isn't it????? Lol!!!

 

But, hey, You WON!!!  Congrats!!!!!

 

What is this site?  The one where you buy samples from?

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

It hasn't arrived yet, so I don't know which specific shade it is. That being said, I refuse to purchase products with sexualized names. It's my own private boycott, as prudish as it may be.

 

So, I do not possess Orgasm, but, I don't mind using it if it is free.

 

Yes, So Choix is the site that as the boxes of self-chosen samples. I really enjoy it over trying in-store, especially for items with a high ick factor (cream shadows, liquid lip products) and for things that I want to try but don't need a full size (nail colors beyond classics, yet another red lipstick). 

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

So I've been meaning to switch around my makeup application order for awhile and do eye makeup before face makeup to avoid fall out problems. Predictably I kept forgetting for about a month and was halfway done with my face before remembering. Well today I remembered and oh boy can I say I'm a convert now! No more streaks and colorful dots I desperately try to buff out without ruining the rest of my makeup. No siree. I'm living a new, cleaner life now.

"I like the way that it only costs $1." 😄 😄 😄 

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

I've definitely been that friend a few times. "Don't worry! It's just a quick color match! You'll love it." *Friend gives me a look of distrust*

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

Does anyone ever just want to purge their collection almost entirely, only keeping a few essentials? 

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

@StephaniLynn I'm currently doing a New Year declutter. Starting with makeup, then moving on to clothing and accessories, and then books and movies. I'm hoping to be done by New Year's but it's taking me a long time 😕

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

Well, don't put your stuff in storage during hurricane season and then leave town!!!

 

You might not get a choice!  hahahahahah! 

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

The horror! 😉

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

Is your perfume collection insured??  @Libellules

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

While I'm keeping more than a few essentials, I'm currently purging:

 

  • Liquid formulas with doe foot applicators that are > 1 yr old
  • All lip glosses. Not my thing.
  • Lipstick formulas that I don't love. Life is too short to spend it maintaining a look with slippy/bleedy lipstick.
  • Eye shadows that aren't for me color-wise or are too hard to work with (epic fallout, resists blending).

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

Before I create a thread, is it possible (after all the GWPS, point perks and lipsticks I have) to go a year without buying a lipstick? And then make this a challenge?

or does it seem to be restocked as often as skincare?

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

Oh boy.  I definitely know I have enough lipstick to do this challenge.  Do I have the discipline though....?  

 

I'll participate if I can have a twelve new lipsticks buffer.  😅  One new lipstick a month.

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

I would say a 1 lipstick buffer for a LE Guerlain lipstick for holiday! Hahaha. 

I just saw some premium samples being unused. 

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

I'm in -- I'm already on a low-buy for next year when it comes to lipsticks. My only exceptions are LE items that I truly do not have dupes for, and the replacement of any lipsticks that I actually use up. And maybe a B2M at some point.
