Finally, my last order before my low-buy 2020 has arrived! It took longer than usual because of the new year holiday, massive flood in Jakarta at the beginning of the year, and the lunar new year holiday. But they're finally here, safe and sound 😍🤗 The Bye Bye Birdie palette is so pretty yet so underrated. It looks so much prettier in real life 😍
The Just A Tint Lip Crayon duo has been my staple for the last two months, I just had to pick another duo, Gimme A Slice.
Picked up another Velvet Blur Lipstick, this time in the shade CA Love. Also picked up @safiyany 's frankenlipstick in Berry Me in Lipstick. I regretted not picking up more shades 😭 She's my favourite YTer ever. Hopefully she collaborate with @colourpopcosmetics again in the future 🤞🏼 And finally, the stars of the show, my favourite @disney Queens, @disneyfrozen collection ❄🍁!! I picked up the palettes and the two lipsticks. OMG, I can't even begin to tell you how adorable they are!! For now, better keep my review for another separate post 😆🤭 Can't wait to play around with them! Expect some reviews in future posts!! Or more of bare with me in some of my future post 🙈 #colourpopme
Makeup Inventory - Face & Eye Primer
As you might (or might not) know, I'm doing an Empty and Low-Buy project this year. I wrote the full project on my blog, the link is in my bio if you wanna say hi!
So I think, to be able to restrain myself from the temptation of buying new makeup, I should start by inventorying what I already have. And by doing so, I can really make sure I use them until they're finished.
In today's post, I want to share my Face and Eye Primer collection since they're not a big collection. These are pretty much all I have.
The @wetnwildbeauty primer on the left is an old one that's almost done, and the one next to it is the new one I bought for the replacement. The @smashboxcosmetics one is a sample size from a gift set. Even though it's so small, it takes forever to finish. And the @urbandecaycosmetics eye primer is the only eye primer I have so I should be able to finish it this year.
I never have too many items for these kind of products because I feel like they're not very exciting to test 😆
What are your favourite face and eye primer atm?
If I had to move to another country, this would be the first palette I take with me. I've had this for more than a year, and bought a couple more palettes after that, but it still remains on my top favourite and most used palette. Such a huge claim, eh? 😆
It has every shades that are on my comfort zone: soft pink, peach, different shades and finishes of brown, purple, champagne and gold. What could I ask more?
What would be the first palette you take with you if you had to move to another planet? 😆
What's more satisfying than a set of brand new brushes? 😍
Believe it or not, before, I only have one brush for each needs. I use them, wash them, dry them, and use them again until they're so worn off. So for a couple of months, I've been thinking of buying a new set so I can use the new one and the old one alternately to prolong their life-time.
After some research, I found @aerisbeaute, a local brand that produces make up tools. They have a couple of brush sets, but I chose this one, Onyx Set, which consists of 15 face & eye brushes. I picked them up as a set with an instant brush cleaner spray. The brush set itself retails for IDR 295,000 or around USD 20, the spray retails for IDR 95,000 or around USD 6.5, but as a set they are 15% off.
LOVE the variety of brushes in this set. I just washed them yesterday and will test them out today! The full review will be up on my blog soon! Swipe to see how I arranged them on my vanity 😍
I tested the spray a few days ago to clean my old brushes and it works just like it claims: clean the brushes instantly and the brushes dried down instantly, too.
They also have bar soaps especially made for brushes. I plan to pick them up next time!
If you're looking for good brushes and brush-cleaning tools with affordable price, I really recommend checking them out! 😍😍 Who's always wash their brand new brushes before using them? 🙋
Decluttered!! Guys, I managed to pass this to someone else! I posted it on my poshmark-kind of account here, and someone bought it today! I'm so happy!! 😭
At first, I picked one shade lighter than my actual shade because I wanted it to be a highlighting-type of concealer. Turned out it was too full-coverage for my liking. And recently I'm more into dewy skin/ barely-there type of makeup, so this concealer is no longer relevant to my collection. Finally, I decided to sell it.
Hopefully the new owner can give it more love than I could!
What beauty items did you declutter recently and make you feel like there's a heavy burden lifted from your chest? 😆
