Week 38 Recap & DeclutterThe products in last week's LatinX capsule went pretty well, with most items sticking around for weeks to come and a surprise repurposed product in the form of the Melt Cosmetics Slick Waterline Eye Pencil Ivory. I originally purchased this thinking it might be a good replacement for the discontinuted Makeup by Mario Light I eye pencil that has been my HG, go-to waterline liner. I like how creamy the product is, but the shade isn't right and it applies too chalky on my waterline. It can be a smidge chalky if I'm heavy handed with it when I use it to overline my lips slightly but since I end up blending out the line with a blender brush anyways, it doesn't really matter all that much. What does matter is that it has been working very well in that capacity and has now become a mainstay in my stash for that purpose. 🙌 A shop-you-stash success story in a way. All other products in the photo above are being donated or rehomed, except for the Rare Beauty lip souffle Happy, which I'm tossing as it's probably at or near the end of its shelf life. Both Ere Perez products are fine but I don't reach for them often, or the color corrector at all other than for these capsules. The lip crayon I must have either brought back into the fold or it's another duplicate I didn't realize I picked up again, again. There are others similar products I like more than the Rare Beauty eyeshadow stick; I actually thought I had decluttered it previously. The color is pretty but the application is not as smooth as other similar products in my collection. The Rare Beauty tinted moisture just happens to find itself in a sea of tinted moisturizers or skin tints that I reach for a lot more often. Better for it to go to a home where it will be used more.
