@sister13 Beautiful collection! I really need to use my basket case.

[sister13]

It’s so great! I don’t think it’s dried up, haha! @Samtian 

[Samtian]

@sister13 Mine wasn't last time I swatched lol. 

[sister13]

I seem to be taking this 12 day challenge into a many months challenge, lol. 

Anyway, this is kind of part two of December 19 -December 19 - Brow Products, Mascaras, Eyeliners, where I also accidentally mixed in eye primers in part one. 

Mascaras currently in use/in rotation. Benefit Cosmetics BADgal BANG! Volumizing Mascara Intense Pitch Black is my HG going on a few years now. I have one upstairs, one downstairs, one travel bag, and one in my purse (not pictured) lol. 

Too Faced Better Than Sex Volumizing Mascara - Too Femme Too Femme Edition Black - .27 oz/7.7 g  is such cute packaging but this formula looks amazing when first applied, but then fades away during the day, sadly. I do very much like the waterproof version when I really need waterproof, but don’t like waterproof for every day because it’s more trouble to remove. GXVE BY GWEN STEFANI Can't Stop Staring Clean Lengthening & Lifting Mascara Black is the newest and I’m enjoying it, though it hasn’t supplanted Badgal Bang. 

 

New mascaras in the stash. Admittedly haven’t gotten much love since I found BGB, but these show some that have worked well for me, like old Diorshow, Lancôme Lash Idole & Cils Booster Set , Lancôme Monsieur Big Duo and Lancôme HYPNOSE WATERPROOF - Custom Volume Mascara Black . MILK MAKEUP KUSH High Volumizing Mascara 0.34 oz/ 10 mL is pretty good, hadn’t tried the waterproof version yet. I’ll work some of these into the rotation again soon. 

 

New special ones. Can’t wait to try the PMG Star Wars mascara! The Marc Jacobs engraved was from the Beauty Talk/BIC switchover, a treasured item!

 

 

New Minis/samples:

 

Lash and brow serums, I  think I’m in good shape for a while (face palm), I have resisted any sales and promos lately, but the BabeLash and some of the GrandeLash/Grandebrow items were New Beauty free gift Friday items and minis were promos/points. I routinely use the Grande Cosmetics GrandeLASH™ Peptide Lash Enhancing Serum 0.10 oz/ 3 mL and Grande Cosmetics GrandeBROW Brow Enhancing Serum 4 Month Supply and have noticed a difference since I first used them years ago, so they are a staple. 

 Okay, better post this and eyeliners next!

@sister13 Wow!!! Beautiful!

[sister13]

Thanks! @Samtian

Lip Liners... Ya... this is the only lip category I'm mentally prepared to confront.  

Missing a CT Pillow TalkThis was my forever favourite. Sky Violet. I miss you. My last man standing.Why am I saving it?

[Samtian]

@missjeanie Those Stila colors are pretty. I laughed at  your comment. 

[missjeanie]

@Samtian There are some things in life just best left alone 🤣

[Samtian]

@missjeanie That is for sure!

[sister13]

Are you saving the box or the product? I do that, too, but trying to give up some if they aren’t SUPER special! @missjeanie 

[missjeanie]

@sister13 There's one last lonely sky violent in there.  I try to keep items that I haven't used yet in their package only so that I can keep track of what's new.  I really should just crack into it and enjoy it before it's all dried out lol

[sister13]

Okay, yes I try to keep new things in the box too, so I know it’s new in case I want to give away. Except for gratis items that don’t always have a box. I hope it’s still good, I find most things stay pretty well if never opened but it’s a conundrum because you don’t want to open to check until you think you are really going to use it, haha! @missjeanie

Single Shadows/Made my own mini palettes. 

This was a lot more than I thought I had.  I'm not mad at it... but it was good to see what was here.  Need to mix up my shadow game more.

Mac singles... I have at least two 'naked lunch' floating around somewhere as well.MUFE shadows are some of the best in my opinionliquids. Wish Rare beauty would come out with more shades.Stick shadowsYa... that's a lot of random ClinqueNars. The one is a bronzer/highlighter, but to me they're shadowsAssorted pots.

[Titian06]

Beautiful colors, @missjeanie ! 🥰  A couple of the liquid shadows look like nail polish.  I did a double take on those--ha, ha! 🙃

[Samtian]

@missjeanie Such a beautiful collection. Two of the liquids I thought were nail polish haha. 

[missjeanie]

@Samtian @Titian06 I always forget about those ones for exactly that reason!

[Samtian]

@missjeanie Haha I would too!

[Titian06]

@Samtian - Your not the only one! 😄

[sister13]

Great selection of eye items! Isn’t it fun to go through everything? @missjeanie 

[missjeanie]

@sister13 It has been.  I'm finding so many things I forgot about!  I should be doing this yearly to remind myself of what I have already.
