PART TWO:

December 20 - Eye Primers, Stand Alone Eyeshadows 

December 21 - Single Shadows / Homebrew Palettes

MAKE UP FOR EVER palettes, I really need to put these somewhere more accessible and give the, some love!

The two small MUFEs are all Sephora collection, they fit so nicely! Pretty sure I picked these up when they were switching out packaging and they were all on sale.

Two large MUFE palettes. 

This one is mostly SC eyeshadows, plus the #anastasia contour/highligh palette. 

This one is MAC eyeshadows and blushes, a Hello Kitty palette that was oddly designed and the cardboard drawer kept jamming rendering it useless, some Lancôme duos, and some other dandies eye and face items (possibly Smashbox).

Detail of these, I loved those lacy ones, and the mermaid scales from the ones above in the small palette. 

My Z palettes:

These are all Estée Lauder singles. These had the cutest little boxes for each one, so I couldn’t part with the, which sort of defeats the purpose of depotting, but oh well! 

These are some random testers I got as gratis when I worked for Sephora and EL, actually makes some nice looks from these items together! 

This is a double sided Z palette, these are all Sephora blush/cheek.

The Estée Lauder single eyeshadow boxes I couldn’t (and still can’t) declutter. 

[sister13]

Found another secret stash of single eyeshadows, lol:

 

[curlychiquita]

I still have that Sephora silver single, @sister13! It's a great silver.

[curlychiquita]

I love how you've collected your eyeshadows and blushes together, @sister13! 

[sister13]

Thank you, I did a bunch of depotting singles a while back, it was pretty satisfying! @curlychiquita 

[blackkitty2014]

@sister13 @for a moment I thought I’m in a department store there. Gorgeous collection. I love how you organize everything 🌹❤️🥰

[sister13]

Haha, thank you so much!! @blackkitty2014 

[Titian06]

@sister13 - Your entire collection is gorgeous! 💖💖💖

[sister13]

Thank you so much @Titian06 !! 

[sister13]

Well, since I’m way past 12 days, hopefully I’m on track to something like a 3 months vs 12 months challenge, lol. 

Anyway, this is basically combination of these two categories, since I wasn’t sure what was stand-alone and what was single. I did eye primers with mascaras.

December 20 - Eye Primers, Stand Alone Eyeshadows 

December 21 - Single Shadows / Homebrew Palettes

PART ONE:

These are a lot of shimmery singles, some cream, some powder:

These MAC ones have a magnet in there I think, so cool!

More sparkle and shimmer. Mostly creams and liquids:

These are all Pat McGrath, from her original launches. So beautiful! 

Glitter, they’re so pretty! 

MAC pigments (+2 Bobbi Brown in the minis):

[curlychiquita]

Your collection is so colorful and beautiful, @sister13! 

[sister13]

Thank you! I need to wear more makeup, haha! @curlychiquita 

[Samtian]

I've already posted these but I had to share again. I just got in the pencil holders @WinglessOne shared. I really like having them out and more visible, rather than hidden in a drawer. Hopefully it's the kick in the butt I need to start using liners...ever haha. 

[sister13]

So great! Thanks for sharing! @Samtian 

[Samtian]

@sister13 Yep!

[WinglessOne]

@Samtian  Your photos are very satisfying! I’m glad the holders are working for you. 

[Samtian]

@WinglessOne Thank you! I was so excited. I had to show them off to my mom. 

[Titian06]

These look great, @Samtian !  I certainly would want to use them because now I could find what I want quickly. 🙂

[Samtian]

@Titian06 And now I can remember they exist ha.

Continuing on December 19 - Brow Products, Mascaras, Eyeliners with eyeliners. 

When we moved, I did a pretty big declutter, especially a ton of dried up pot eyeliners, especially Bobbi Brown. I really loved those for a time. I suppose duraline would have worked but I have plenty of pencils and pens that work just as well. 

Anyway, here are older ones that I haven’t been using but plan to start going through. I used to work for Estee Lauder part time a long time ago, so I have a lot of these eyeliners, lipliners and lipsticks from EL:

 
They live in a little mesh baggie in real life, which takes up so little space, it’s hard to prioritize decluttering:

 

These are pencils and liquid pens in regular use and rotation. I kind of ran out of steam to lay these out in any order but may revisit. They live in a lucite drawer on my bathroom vanity, along with the Natasha Denona multichromes. Current faves are the Gucci Stylo Définition l'Obscur Eyeliner black and Benefit Cosmetics Roller Liner Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner for liquids. I love the Sephora fat waterproof eye pencils for tight lining, and I love the Charlotte Tilbury Colour Chameleon Eye Shadow Pencil so much, I have like 4-5 of those. Also love the NARS High-Pigment Longwear Eyeliner for tight lining and eyeliner.

 
I may have posted before but these are new eyeliners. Was so thrilled to find a backup of the KVD basket case, which is a thick retractable stick that is amazing for tight lining and smoky eyes! This one was so great but sold out so fast, it was hard to get a hold of.
