Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge

[itsfi]

Hello, BIC Beauties! If the idea of makeup capsules piques your curiosity, or you're interested in seeing what's in the beauty collection or weekly makeup bag of your fellow BIC beauties, jump right on in - with questions, comments or a capsule of your own to share.

To add a fun take on putting together a makeup capsule, I've included theme(s) for the weekly capsule - some weeks, I have enough products in my stash (eek!) to make a whole capsule based on the prompt; other weeks, I have just one or two items that fit neatly within theme. Whether you find yourself in the same place or somewhere in between, jump right on it and share your weekly makeup capsule. Check out the FAQ section below ⤵️ for more info on this challenge.

CURRENT MAKEUP CAPSULE THEME:   

Week 38 - (September 16 - 22) - The LatinX Founded / Owned Beauty Brands Makeup Capsule - LatinX Heritage Month is celebrated annually in the US from September 15 to October 15. As one way to recognize the contributions and influence of Hispanic and Latin Americans in the beauty industry, let's put together a capsule that includes one or more products from a LatinX owned or founded beauty brand. See spoiler below for a non-exhaustive list.

❤️💋  Week 39 - (September 23 - 29) - The September 2024 Throw Down!, Throwback, and/or Throw Out? Makeup Capsule and/or The Brands at SEPHORiA Makeup Capsule ❤️💋  

Multiple themes this week. You know the drill with the first prompt - curate a capsule with one or more beauty products that you want to compare against each other in a battle to see which reigns supreme; or that is a throw back to a different era (80's makeup, anyone? 90s? 2000s?, etc. ). OR, throw back to a past makeup capsule theme in a Do Over / Take 2. OR, put some products on the chopping block to see if they're keepers in your stash or if it's time to throw them out.

OR, in celebration of SEPHORiA Atlanta, show us a capsule made up of one or more products from one or more of the beauty brands participating in SEPHORiA this year. See spoiler for a non-exhaustive list of participating makeup brands - I also tried to list skincare brands that offered makeup as well, and will try to update this list as new brands are added on the SEPHORiA webpage.

FAQs: [Updated 4.28.2024]

What is a capsule makeup collection?  

A capsule makeup collection is a selection of makeup products that can be used to put together different looks for a variety of occasions. For some of us, that may mean a group of essential products for your everyday look plus a few extra items for a more glam or dramatic look; and, for others of us, that may mean, a lineup of our holy grail product(s) in each makeup category. My ideal capsule makeup collection probably falls somewhere in between - we'll (hopefully) find out at the end of the year! I don't see myself as a minimalist, but I don't have an extensive collection of makeup either. I appreciate the collections of people who fall within both camps but I float somewhere in between - on the one hand, my brow product collection would earn a gold star if we were using a minimalist approach to makeup; my lip product lineup, on the other hand, would not. 🤣 It would most definitely not.  

Why have a capsule makeup collection?  

Everyone will have their own reasons for having (or not having) a more streamlined makeup collection. Over the years, I've just become more interested in having less beauty products on hand (well, except for lip products, lol) - a handful of items I use or reach for more frequently with maybe a few additional products that are go-to's for me for special events or occasions.  Don't get me wrong, I love trying new products and I don't see that changing. I just like the idea of having a simpler collection (I appreciate that "simpler" can be relative), curated to my needs and lifestyle.

Why weekly? 
A few years ago, beauty & lifestyle blogger Serein Wu, did a weekly series (on her blog and YouTube channel), Makeup Bag Monday, where she rotated her makeup bag each week with new product launches and makeup already in her collection. Every Monday, she shared the products she selected for the upcoming week and provided detailed makeup reviews on the makeup she used for the previous week. I may not post detailed reviews, but will at least try to include a weekly recap (probably at the end of the week) of what products I like and which ones didn't work for me.  If weekly works for you, great. If not, feel free to join in based on what works best for you.

What if I don't have enough products to fit the theme for a full face?

No need for your entire makeup capsule to fit the weekly theme(s). Just one will do. And, even if you don't have one that fits squarely within a theme, feel free to post your makeup capsule. We'd love to see what you're using and hear your feedback on the products as you put them to use. 

[CynthieLu]

Thank you @itsfi ahhh see, I think Too Faced is a great brand and maybe a good introductory brand. It was for me, for sure. 😊

[caitbird]

@CynthieLu  ooh, what a great capsule full of excellent picks! I love that you shared a little about what you love about each of them too. Some of these products I already knew that you love, and some I haven't really seen before, so it's interesting! It's so fun to see everyone's favorite products!

[CynthieLu]

Thank you kind lady. 💕🙏 I love that part of the capsule challenge to @caitbird I'm all ears to hear about everyone's faves. I definitely appreciate community inspiration 😉 thou my wallet begs to differ.

Week 28 - The "If I Were To Curate My Ultimate Makeup Capsule Today" Makeup Capsule   

Okay, so I've been both excited for and dreading this week's capsule. 😂 I like the idea of having a capsule makeup collection but I'm less comfortable with having a very pared down collection of products. Throughout the last 27 weeks, I've arrived at the mindset that my ultimate capsule will be more moderate in size than minimalist, and that's what I'll be aiming to come up with by the end of the year, or, at least, be working towards that. 

Here's a general breakdown of what my "ultimate makeup capsule" would look like today. The chart in the spoiler references more products than I have in the photo. I'll come back during the week to tag products. By the look of the list, there are some categories where I may need to set up a showdown later this year (e.g., waterproof mascaras 😮 and maybe that medium coverage foundation group though I am not feeling inclined to let any of those foundations go)

Products with an asterisks (*) next to their name means it's a very well loved product, a possible candidate for the Top Shelf or even a 🐐. 

For this week, I'll curate 3 subcapsules from the products in this larger group - (1) a work week makeup capsule; (2) a date night makeup capsule; and (3) a weekend makeup capsule - and will check back in with photos of the products in each subcapsule throughout the week. 

Here's The Ultimate Makeup Capsule: The Work Week Edit - 

I took the Rhode blush (the newbie of this group) on a test drive earlier today and it performed very well - glided onto the skin, blended easily, nicely pigmented, and long-wearing (stayed all day even without a setting spray / powder).

And it all fits, too! 🙌

[caitbird]

@itsfi  seeing your organized list/chart of your favorite makeup products makes my list/chart-loving little heart go pitter-pat! 🤣 I may have to make one of those for my faves too...Looking forward to seeing your different sub-capsules!

Glad to see you are liking the Rhode blush - I have definitely been eyeing them lately, and will probably pick up a couple at some point (maybe not right away though - still trying to remember I'm supposed to be on a low buy rn 😅).

[itsfi]

Awwww, a fellow chart / list devotee! Loooove that @caitbird. I like lists. A lot. 😍 Oh my goodness, you definitely should make a list or chart with your favorites. Cataloging it has been great fun. It's also interesting to see it all on my screen too - you can see what categories or products are ones you like a lot or have a lot of. I didn't think I'd have that many medium coverage foundations I'd like so much, but seeing it, well, it made me wonder about them. I think a lot of it is that with a medium coverage foundation, I can adjust for less or more coverage depending on amount of layers as well as how I'm applying the product. 

Excellent call on holding off on the Rhode blush if you're on a low buy. I am really liking the blush but there will be time for you to get them - they're not limited edition and since they're selling well, she'll likely be constantly restocking her inventory.

[caitbird]

@itsfi  haha yes, lists all the way! My best friend used to laugh at me when we were in high school together, bc I would spend time every day making a neatly organized to-do list of my homework and other tasks, whereas she would just get started right in on the homework itself 😅 but I like my to-do lists (and other, endless, lists 🤣)! It makes me *feel better* to have everything organized so that I can see it, and if it's not on my list it goes straight out of my head, most of the time.

Ugh, yes, the low buy...so hard for me 😅 but I will keep trying! 😣 I am thinking of maybe trying to do a beauty no-buy for August, which I've never tried before...we'll see if I can stick to it!

[itsfi]

@caitbird, I never get through all the things on my lists for work, but that doesn't stop me from making them. 😂  Ahhhh, low buys. Those can be such a challenge. Are you finding any challenges / obstacles to it that keep coming up for you? Or, that are the hardest to overcome?

[caitbird]

@itsfi  re: the never-ending cycle of making lists and not getting to everything on them and making new lists: same 🤣

With the low buy struggles - I keep getting tempted by sales and/or new releases. Especially sales! I am weak for sales. I know if I want to really get serious about saving/buying less beauty I should unsubscribe from mailing lists/uninstall apps, etc., but then I'm like, but what if I do that and then I miss out on some great deal/new drop?? Lol the FOMO is real 😅

Also, I have chronic insomnia and I have a bad habit of impulse buying things in the middle of the night when I can't sleep. It's a problem 😅

[itsfi]

Ugh, chronic insomnia. I'm so, sooooo sorry @caitbird! When I was younger, I didn't need a lot of sleep, but I do now and it's rough when I can't get it to sleep or stay asleep for more than a couple of hours at a time. 

[caitbird]

@itsfi  aww, thank you 💜 Yeah, when I was in high school I used to be able to get by on a few hours a night, but I can't do that anymore! I am hoping to be able to talk to my doctor soon about my sleep issues, and fingers crossed she can help me figure out something that will work, whatever that may be (I am just about willing to try anything, at this point).

[itsfi]

@caitbird, I hope you and your doctor are able to find a resolution for you and you are able to get both good quality sleep and hours too. 

Mine has ebbed and flowed over the last 5 years; had a bit of a relapse last month but have been making some adjustments with my bedtime routine and life that seem to be working or veering in that direction. 

[caitbird]

@itsfi  thank you so much 💜 I hope your sleep continues to improve too!

[danielledanielle]

Now I feel like I should go back and add sub capsules 🤣🤔🤔🤔 @itsfi 

[itsfi]

I mean, it is only Monday @danielledanielle. Plenty of days left in the week for subcapsules. 😂 

[CynthieLu]

3 subcapsules? Oooh that's a fun way to look at this week's challenge. @itsfi and great way to separate all your Ultimate Capsule contenders, this way everyone gets a little love. 💖

Your vacay capsule I hope gets to put to work this summer 🏝️ 🌞 

[itsfi]

@CynthieLu, I’m good with having a few categories with more than a couple of products but I have a whole lot more than a couple of categories with more than that so my thought is if I’m going to have a larger makeup capsule, I should be using the extras, so subcapsules it is 😆. 

[CynthieLu]

That makes sense 😉 @itsfi a little more work involved but it's a fun way to organize a bigger capsule. Do you enjoy organizing your collection? I feel like I definitely do, it's therapeutic a little or something. It just feels good to sort it out. 💖💖

[itsfi]

@CynthieLu, my feelings are usually mixed when it comes to organizing my collection - I definitely like love the idea of an organized collection, an organized, well curated one at that would be the goal. And, by "well curated" I don't necessarily mean a very minimalist collection, but I'm not sure what the magic number would be. 😣 It does feel good when I've been able to do that, even partially. So I completely understand it being therapeautic. 😀 

Sometimes I can get overwhelmed and stuck when I see how much I have to organize. Doing it bit by bit but consistently here has helped. It also helps having the accountability - I've put it out there and so, I feel like I need to at least make the effort, even if there are weeks when I don't have anything to declutter. Those weeks, in particular, I try to think through what made that group of products (or theme) one where I didn't have anything I'd let go of. Was it me and just having a hard time passing on something? Or, is there something about that prompt or that group of makeup products that suits me? It's nice to have an idea of that and it actually helps me when I think about what I might want to buy. 

The battles / showdowns have been very good for helping to whittle down my stash to get it to a place where organizing my collection all at once will feel less ... daunting. And those throwdowns are a lot of fun, too!

Week in Review (Part 2) - Week 27: The Weekend Edition  

It seems that I had more makeup capsules I wanted to put together. 🙄  

Week 27: The Indie Brands Makeup Capsule - The Minimalist Edit

 

Spoiler

💟  Em Cosmetics Daydream Cushion Foundation SPF 50 PA+++ - a nod to Michelle Phan, the OG of social media influencer. This is a beautiful cushion compact - my third (?) box, so this makes this cushion #5. Serum-like formula glides on smoothly. It evens tones, offers some blurring effect, and leaves a lovely natural finish with a soft, healthy glow.

🌻 For my cheeks, I'm going with minori beauty, a San Francisco, California (woohoo!) based, eco-friendly brand founded by a Kazakhstan-born Canadian and her husband (who she met when they were studying in Montreal) - Cream Blush (Orchid) and Cream Highlighter (Champagne) - these are easy, peasy to apply and blend. 

👁  Kept the eyes simple with a wash of brown (so surprising, right?!! 😄) from Makeup Revolution I Heart Chocolate Palette - Salted Caramel and added a pop of color with Ere Perez Natural Almond Mascara - Mauve (a pretty, plum shade)

💄  In preparation for our upcoming sticks makeup capsules, I went with two lip crayon sticks - Ere Perez Coco Crayon - Grace and Reina Rebelde Mini Bold Lip Color Stick - Divina - one for the morning and one for the evening when I added a light dab of the blue shade from the Makeup Revolution palette to my eyes (outer V) for a little (but not too, too much) extra. Touched up my lips throughout the day and night as needed with Seraphine Botanical Apple + Baume Glow Lip Mask, an oldie but goodie I found while doing a little summer cleaning last weekend.

Week 27: The Summer Vacay Makeup Capsule  

I'm extra low maintenance when it comes to my makeup on vacation, especially if I'm going to warmer, tropical climates. For this makeup look, we'll start off with the fits - 

Spoiler

😎  Sunblock as primer is a winning combo for me. OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Mineral Face Sunscreen SPF 30 1.7 oz / 50 mL is great for providing sun protection along with adding some brightness to the complexion. It has a creamy but not heavy consistency that works well for me when my skin is normal-to-dry and slightly-to-moderately dehydrated underneath.

🌹DIOR Backstage Concealer is a beauty for spot concealing or, in a pinch, subbing in as a foundation. Good for the under eyes too.

🌸  Minori Beauty Cream Blush - Orchid for a little color to my cheeks and lips

💗  MAKEUP BY MARIO SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer®  for all over warmth and wash of color on my eyelids.

⭐  Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Brightening Pencil  - Light 1 (discontinued) has been a workhorse - I just love how it brightens my eye area when used on the lower waterline. Also great for giving more definition to the cupid's bow. Love this. 

👁  Shiseido Eyelash Curler Eyelash Curler is a tried-and-true favorite. I look better with my lashes curled, with or without mascara. I prefer waterproof mascara but the Tower 28 Beauty Mini MakeWaves Lengthening + Volumizing Mascara Jet has been impressing me with its staying power so I thought I'd put it to the test today.

💋  This makeup bag holds quite a few beauties for something so compact, so why not add a lip balm and gloss to the mix - I'm pretty sure I'll use both the CAY SKIN Isle Lip Balm SPF 30 with Sea Moss and Aloe Stem Cells Clear and the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Crystal Holographic Lip Luminizer - Holla'gram (discontinued) throughout the day, on their own or atop of the minori. I can't be the ony person who wants Holla'gram brought back permanently, right?!

😘  These days my bag, makeup or handbag, would not be complete without a Touchland Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer (this is in the Lemon Lime version, apparently only available directly through the brand's site?) and the Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Find Comfort Stop & Soothe Aromatherapy Pen 0.16 oz / 5 mL 

No declutters this week as the products in my weekend capsules are either tried-and-true or items I'm trying for the first time and, unless they break me out (and none did), I want to give them a fair amount of use before letting them go. 

I'm both excited for next week's capsule and also dreading having to put it together - it's not so much what to include as it is what will be excluded. 😩 I'll definitely be working on my editing skills when it comes to picking which makeup products would currently make up my ultimate makeup capsule. Ack! It sounded like a good theme when I came up with it, but now, picking my favorite child / children doesn't seem so easy. 🤣 Will aim to be back later today for an early post with that capsule.

[caitbird]

@itsfi  I love your approach of putting together multiple capsules for each theme - weekend editions, minimalist edits, etc.! At the moment I am happy if I manage to put together *a* capsule for the week's theme, but I love that you do more.

I know what you mean about how hard it can be to pick a favorite product (or favorite child if you will) in each category, though for me personally it depends on what type/category of makeup it is. For some things, like primers, I don't have many and pretty much use the same tried and true couple that I know I love and work well for me, so that choice is a no-brainer. But picking a favorite eyeshadow single or palette? Impossible! 😅
