Makeup Monday- Products I've Used Up!



Bad eyebrows really bug me.  They just do.  Mine aren't perfect either but just know...  I'm judging your eyebrows.  

This post is going to be all about the products I've used up and whether or not I would repurchase them.  I keep a large Sephora bag in my bathroom so I can keep all my empties corralled together.  

Sooo, let's get started.  


Too Faced Shadow Insurance- It took me a really long time to get through all of this and I have since learned that I tend to prefer a cream eye shadow such as a MAC paintpot for an eye primer.  I won't be repurchasing this.  If I do decide to stray from my paintpots I will probably pick up the NARS eye primer instead. 


Urban Decay Doubled Ended 24/7 Eyeliner in Zero/ Whiskey-  I only allow myself to use this when traveling because it is such a space saver and this brown and this black shade happen to be my favorite.  I have already repurchased this and will continue to do so until the end of time...  Or I find something better (doubtful).


MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NW20-  This is the best under eye concealer ever!  It has a technology built into it that prevents it from creasing so not only do I use this under my eyes and a little around the edges of my nose but I periodically dab a little on my lids as a primer too.  I've already repurchased this product.  


Benefit Gimme Brow in Medium/ Deep- I love this tinted brow gel.  This is so easy to just run through your eyebrows quickly if you don't have the time to pencil in your brows.  Filling in your brows just pulls your whole makeup look together.  I've already repurchased this product.  


Makeup Forever Aqua Eyes Eyeliner in 0L/ Black-  This is another great black pencil eyeliner.  I'm not going to repurchase this eye liner right away.  I think that I might want to try something new instead.


MAC Studio Fix Pressed Powder in NW25-  I have been using this powder forever and I repurchased it a little while ago and found that the color was a little too dark for my pale winter skin.  I then discovered the Kat Von D pressed powder and I'm in love.  It's a total game changer for me.  I will continue to use this shade during the summer months when I am a bit tanner though. 


Clinique High Impact Mascara in Black-  I've been using this mascara on and off for years but I recently decided not to repurchase it so I can try something new.  


Sumita Beauty Eye Contrast Pencil in Black-  I didn't really care for this product and had to force myself to use it.  It was really smudgy and I felt like it never stayed in place.  I won't repurchase this. 


Makeup Forever Mat Velvet + in #30-  This has been one of my favorite foundations for years.  I'm debating on whether or not to stick with old faithful or branch out and try something new.  Hmmmm, what to do...


Tarte Lights, Camera, Flashes Mascara in Black-  This used to be my holy grail mascara but I feel like they changed the formula and I don't love it as much anymore.  I decided to try something different instead of buying another tube of this. 


Murad Time Release Acne Cleanser-  I used this awhile back when my skin was a lot worse than what it is now.  I'd been holding onto the last little bit and I tended to just use it when I was having a minor breakout.  My skin has been doing really well though and I don't think I need to repurchase something so harsh.  I'm trying a different cleanser instead.  


First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads-  I got these for Christmas and started using them in place of my toner and I really noticed a difference in the brightness of my skin.  I repurchased the larger size over the weekend.  


Alterna Caviar Anti- Aging Replenishing Moisture Shampoo (travel size)-  I've been hearing people rave about this shampoo for years and I've been wanting to try it but it's really expensive.  I picked up the travel sizes to give them a try and I immediately noticed a difference in my hair.  I'm still on the fence about purchasing the full size though. 


Living Proof Flex Shaping Hairspray-  My hair has a hard time holding a curl and I almost gave up hope until I discovered this hairspray.  It really makes a difference and I love the scent.  I already grabbed another bottle of this. 


LUSH It's Raining Men Shower Gel-  I love the scent.  It's so warm and comforting.  It's like toffee, honey and caramel.  Yum!  I need to work my way through some of the other shower gels I have before I repurchase this though.


LUSH Ro's Argan Body Conditioner-  This also has a really great scent, like fresh roses.  However this product was pretty pricey and I went through it pretty quickly.  I can't justify buying it again. 


Crest 3D White Luxe Toothpaste in Glamorous White-  Just my favorite whitening toothpaste.  I already repurchased this. 


Well, that's it.  That's everything that I have used up in the last few months.  I wanted to wait until a had quite a few product so it would be a nice long post.  

I hope everyone has a good week!  What are your plans for Valentine's Day?
