Hello! Today on Makeup MAYhem, I will be doing my first makeup rotation and showing you the products that will be going on rotation this week. For those of you who don't know what makeup rotations are, basically this is a weekly rotation where I choose the makeup products I will use only during that week. Being a hoarder and a shoppaholic, rotating through my makeup will allow me to use products that I haven't used in awhile (and hopefully finish products I don't adore).
Today, my makeup rotation is featuring drugstore products. I'm going back to my roots and going through my collection to figure out what products I either haven't used in awhile or products that I need to finish up.
Face:
For my foundation, I will be using CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation in Medium Beige (Review). This foundation is my all time favorite for the past year now, I'm close to being finished with it and hopefully by using it actively within the next couple of weeks I will finish. The concealer I will be using is Milani Secret Cover Concealer Cream Stick in Medium. Its no secret I abhor this concealer (check out my concealer collection video here to see why), but I refuse to throw away any product before I finish it up. For color on my face, I will be using Elf Studio Blush in Candid Coral as my blush and Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sundance as my bronzer. Neither of these products I have used much within the past six months or so, so I'm excited to tryout these products again! Lastly, I will be using Elf Essential Shimmering Facial Whip in Lilac Petal as my liquid highlight and Wet n Wild Color Icon Bronzer in Reserve Your Cabana as my setting powder and powder highlight. I've heard good things about Wet n Wild Color Icon Bronzer in Reserve Your Cabana as a setting powder, so I'm really excited to try that out with that use!
Eyes:
The eyeshadow palette I will be experimenting this week is Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow and Eyeliner in Universal Looks. This a very good drugstore option to Urban Decay Naked Palettes (especially since its a fraction of the costs. The eyeshadow primer I will be using is my trusty Wet n Wild Fergie Take the Day Eyeshadow Primer (Review) and the eyeshadow base thats going to get a bit of love (after being abandoned for a bit) is Maybelline 24/7 Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze. The color tattoo is drying out, so I want to get as much use out of it before I can't use it anymore. For pencil eyeliner, I will using Jordana 12 Hr Made to Last Liquid Eyeliner Pencil in Espresso Last and Rimmel ScandalEYES Kohl Kajal Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in Nude and using Wet n Wild MegaLiner in Black for liquid liner. Lastly, I will be using L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara and Maybelline MasterShape by Eyestudio Eyebrow Pencil in Deep Brown. I recently received the eyebrow pencil from my friend, Jenny, who is cleaning out her makeup collection and only keeping cruelty free products.
For lipsticks, I will be using L'Oreal Color Riche Lipsticks in Fairest Nude and Vagabond Mauve and Victoria's Secret Color Drama Lipstick in Ignite. Fairest Nude gets a lot of rave, but for some reason or another I haven't used this much since I got it in April. Vagabond Mauve is a discontinued lipstick that I love to death, but has been forgotten with all the new lip products I've gotten recently. Ignite is a warm red that my sister got for me awhile back, I added in Victoria's Secret makeup because they are drugstore price! And lastly, for days where I want to use a glossy product, I will use Elf Luscious Liquid Lipstick in Pink Lemonade.
What products are you using this week? Be sure to check out my giveaway here (open internationally)!
...COLOUR...TATTOOS...DRY OUT? Well sht I better start using mine I've had some of mine for over a year now oops ._.''
ReplyDeleteI desperately wanted to make a "STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM NOW WE'RE HERE" joke regarding starting back from the drugstore basics, but whateves. Damn, I wish I had friends that would give me their makeup ._.
I KNOW RIGHT. Yea, they are starting to change in texture...so I'm trying to get as much use as I can with them before they go.
ReplyDeleteLOL you should've done the joke (even though you kinda did? :B) And yea, she gave me two products, the eye brow pencil and the maybelline stick foundation. Her sister and roommate got the majority of the non-cruelty free makeup... but its okay cause I got some products :B
The eyeshadow palette is packaged so cute! I also have the color tattoo! I haven't tried the elf lip gloss, i want to because i hear so many good things about elf.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge sucker for packaging! There are a lot of good elf products, you definitely need to try it out if you get a chance!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea and sounds like a fun series. I love play on words so the MAYhem really got me. I think a lot of us beauty bloggers need to root through all our stuff and use the stuff at the back of the drawer. Well done, you. Rosemary x
