Collection Shimmer Shades in Blushalicious
This has been in my collection for a really long time (probably longer than it should have been) and I loved it but stopped using it for some reason. I like that the four shades are large enough to use individually, with the light pink shade being my favourite and I can't really believe this found its way to the back of my blush drawer for so long.
Soap & Glory Thick & Fast Mascara
For Christmas I received one of the Soap & Glory gift sets and this mascara was one of the things inside. I'm not really sure what I was expecting, but I definitely wasn't expecting to love it and I really do. It gives me very natural looking fluttery lashes that don't look clumpy or have that horrible crispy feeling.
Stila Lip Glaze in Glow*
I received this in my January Birchbox* and I've been curious about this cult gloss formula for a while so I couldn't resist trying it straight away. So...I don't get it. It's insanely sticky & there's not really any colour, just a lot of glitter. The packaging is great though, I like the clicky up tube and you can see exactly how much is left in there. I have to say I'm pretty disappointed, I thought it was going to be amazing.
I'd love to know which products are in your make up bag right now!

I love Soap and Glory Thick & Fast!!! My favourite thing in my makeup bag has to be the Soap & Glory Archery 2-in-1 brow filler! It's so easy to use and I never feel ready to leave my house until I have filled my brows in even a tiiiiny bit :)

Ohh sounds amazing! xo
DeleteWhat a great idea. I had an idea for a similar monthly post, to try and get me to change up my makeup more as I'm terrible at doing that!! I have been told to try the Soap & Glory mascara but I don't like the look of the brush. I also love the look of the Collection blush quad.

It's quite a large brush, definitely a love/hate kind of thing I think! xo
DeleteI really love your make up bag! I've been wanting to try the collection blusher for a while now, it sounds so nice! x

It's quite a nice one <3
DeleteThey look so pretty and I want to try the shimmer blush thing from Collection as they look amazing.

DeleteI absolutely love the Thick & Fast mascara too! I've recently lost mine so I really need to pick up a replacement.

It's a good'un for sure! Xo
DeleteThat Collection 2000 one... is that the one I sent for your birthday a few years ago? :-D xx
ReplyDeleteAhh YES it is! Still love it <3
DeleteThis is a great idea just to get some value for your money and actually use your product. I really love the blushers and how large they are, so many different colours and shades which you can use individually. It'd also be a cool idea to do a post with your make up of the day using these products just to show the effect they have! :)

Ooh that's a great idea, thank you! ox
DeleteI've been using the Thick and Fast for years. I got my first one in one of the Soap and Glory gift sets and I haven't used another mascara since. Also, when you buy the full size one (in the gift sets they're smaller) they last for ages!
ReplyDeleteOhh that's good to know! xx
DeleteBourjois Shine lipstick, Vichy Teint Ideal foundation and Oriflame eye liner, pretty much basic (-:
ReplyDeleteOoh the foundation sounds lovely, I like Vichy a lot! x
DeleteIv used the Collection Shimmer shade and loved it! So pretty x
ReplyDeleteEmma | Emmys Blog
They're all such pretty colours <3
DeleteThis is such a great idea, I want to try something similar but with samples to use them up, I was thinking of maybe using like a little jar or something so I remember to use them! By the way, I recognise the background of your photo - it's the My Little Box laptop sleeve :) xx

That sounds like a great idea! Ahh it is indeed - good eye <3 xx
DeleteGreat timing, I've been looking for a new mascara to try as I've just said goodbye to lash extensions (sob!). Thanks for the recommendation xo

DeleteI love S&G Thick and Fast! I've been using it since I got it in a Christmas box a few years ago (obviously not same specific tube!!) but I love it. I've been using my ELF brow kit a lot recently too.

It's so nice <3
DeleteI need to start doing this. I have a whole bag of bits but only ever pull out the same products. I love Soap & Glory but don't personally find the mascara really works for me. I'm still on the hunt for my perfect mascara!
ReplyDeleteLisa xo | otweek.blogspot.co.uk
It's a good way to make sure everything gets used! ox
DeleteI definitely need to do this! I had high hopes for the S&G mascara, but I'm not a fan so far! xxx

I think it's definitely a love/hate kind of thing! xo
DeleteSuch a good idea! I have so much neglected make-up that I need to either use of get rid of. x
ReplyDeleteIt's a good way to decide whether you want to keep things <3
DeleteI agree with you so much about the stila lipgloss! I remember using them when I was younger, YEARS ago before others could really compete. I think the love for this product is just a bit outdated.
ReplyDeleteBatty4Beauty.com
I think you're right xo
DeleteThis is a fun feature that I'm looking forward to you continuing! I'm in the process of witting down my makeup bag and I'm trying to have just a few, good quality products that I use consistently.
ReplyDeleteAlso, interesting review of the Stila Lip Glaze! I personally don't really like too sparkly lips, plus the way you described it as so sticky ... it just sounds awful. Thanks for the tip!

The sparkles aren't very flattering, it's not the best formula which is a shame because I thought it would be amazing! ox
DeleteI love that mascara! I wasn't expecting too either (I don't know why!) but it's really good x

The wand doesn't look like anything special, but it's lovely <3
DeleteI'm another fan of Thick & Fast! I think the packaging is deceptive!
ReplyDeleteCatherine xx | Brighton Girl
It definitely is! ox
DeleteI really wish I had picked up that Soap & Glory giftset for myself this Christmas. I got the Jack Wills one (which I love!) but I really want to try that mascara!
ReplyDeleteYour make up bag is gorgeous by the way!

Thank you <3
DeleteI adore Thick & Fast, best mascara I've ever used! What a shame about the Stila lip glaze, I've heard really good things about them as well. How bizarre.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like such a good idea for getting better use of your makeup collection :)

I was expecting to really love it! xo
DeleteThis is a great idea, I should try something like it to show my less-loved items some attention. I'm not usually a fan of lip glosses for that reason, but every now and then I'll find one that works. Good to know the Stila one doesn't seem to be worth trying! xx
ReplyDeletebigfluffycats.blogspot.com
It's one that I don't understand the hype at all! ox
DeleteI've actually seen that Shimmer Shades Blushalicious Blusher around, but never thought to try it. You make me wonder if I should try it…!
ReplyDeleteIt's really pretty <3
DeleteI really want to try that mascara, their cat eye liner is amazing! Def worth a try:)
ReplyDeleteEmma xo | Missemmalouise12.blogspot.ie
Ohh amazing! ox
DeleteLove the idea of these posts and that blush looks amazing! And so happy to see the makeup bag hehe.. Still fascinates me that it traveled across the world from me to you :)
ReplyDeleterachel x
Me too! It's so gorgeous, I haven't stopped using it since I opened it! xo
DeleteI am in need of a new mascara and I might give this one a try, although I really really love Maybelline's The Rocket. Right now in my makeup bag I have one too many black eyeliners. They just made their way in my makeup bag and I can't seem to part with any of them.
ReplyDeleteAndreea Catsfika
Maybelline mascaras are so nice! xo
DeleteThat blush quad looks very nice.
ReplyDeleteLately I'm trying to finalize a bronzer really old, I have it for years and now I just want to finish it at last.
It's so nice finally finishing things xo
DeleteOh, I really don't like sticky lip glosses at all! Especially in winter when the wind always whips my hair around! xxx
ReplyDeleteI hate that! xx
