Five on Saturday Swatch Post - March 25, 2023 ~ Hindash Monochromance Palette, ColourPop Trouble Maker Eyeshadow Palette, Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Second Helping, ColourPop Harry Potter Back To Hogwarts Shadow Palette and Slytherin Locket Graphic Ink Liner

Happy Friday everyone - I hope you all had a good week. Usually I use these posts as my weekly life wrap-up, but honestly, I've accumulated some make-up products that I just can't get full posts up at this point, so I'm going to share some quick swatches and thoughts! (I like to have these saved for future or quick search references).

My 2023 Makeup Collection & Inventory

I've been taking inventory of my makeup collection for the past couple of years - I really wanted to actually see how much makeup I own, but also to track if I'm using things up and how that counteracts the new product that I'm bringing in to my collection! 

I absolutely love looking at other people's makeup collection and thought I should combine a look at my collection while inventorying it all! I will say that my collection is spread out in a room (sorry guests, no room for you here - it's full of makeup) and it does help me use everything because I'm very visual, so I like to have it all displayed to remind myself to use everything! 

Some products were received as PR samples 

Primers = 4 (was 4) ~ I've been really great about not buying many products I don't need this past year or two, and honestly primers last forever! I think I finished one more and purchased one this year. This is a good amount in this category. 

New Drugstore Products - ELF Camo CC Cream, Maybelline Superstay Vinyl Ink and Jason Wu Eyeshadow

I've been really loving what's coming out of the drugstore lately and honestly, I've found myself shopping there more and more lately (I mean, if something affordable is just as good as high end, why not?!)

So, I've picked up a few things that have been raved about lately (and just a few that caught my eye and looked newer!) - I'm really excited about trying these all out! 

Monthly Beauty Favourites - January 2022

Can you believe that it is the end of January?! It's been a month, so to be honest, I'm ready for it to be over! But, before we do, here is a look at what I was loving this month:

I used to always have pick 5 products each month, but that is one thing I'm changing this year - whatever I'm loving, I will share whether it's 2 or 10 products! 

My 2022 Makeup Collection & Inventory!

I've been taking inventory of my makeup collection for the past couple of years - I really wanted to actually see how much makeup I own, but also to track if I'm using things up and how that counteracts the new product that I'm bringing in to my collection! 

I absolutely love looking at other people's makeup collection and thought I should combine a look at my collection while inventorying it all!

Some products pictured were received as PR samples

While going through my inventory, I am including back up and samples in the counts as well! This also is only makeup (no skincare or nails - my skincare would be crazy to count!)

Primers = 4 (was 19) ~ This was one of my biggest categories the past couple of years, but I've really managed to work my way through some older primers as well as used up some samples I've had. I haven't purchased a primer in probably 2 years so now it's totally reasonable!
