Makeup Request Photos

Sachie asked for a total makeup picture of all my current makeup including the unopened stuff I talked about last week, so here it is! Sorta, 
and more, haahaa! 
I realized I hadn’t done a total makeup roundup since June and a bit has changed. 
I went ahead and separated everything by makeup type. 
And it goes without saying, no, I don’t wear all of this every day, haahaa~ 
I wear maybe 1/4 of it a day if not 1/8th. 
Obviously different items are for different & various looks. Though some things are repeating, like having 3 pink blushes open & in use at one time. 
Multiple mascaras I use depending on the look I want that day. 
And I have a few opened black liquid eyeliners because I was trying out a few new ones and ended up not being exactly what I needed so opening/buying another type ensued! 
BB Cream, Foundation, Concealers, Powder, Setting Spray
I use these the most daily. Typical day includes BB Cream + concealer (both liquid and under eye type) + powder
I don’t use the foundation much since I like my my BB Cream more but I at least always use my powder every day. 
Blushes, Highlights, Bronzer
Currently my daily makeup includes the Highbeam and a different blush from my Shu Uemura palette below. But these I tend to switch up the most! I wear the other powder highlighters a lot, every other day, the bronzer too, and the Cosmagic Deco Blush I’ve been wearing a lot lately.
The orange blushes I tend to wear more often in summer so I haven’t worn them much lately, maybe once or twice a month. Same with Stila Shimmer Highlight, it’s so golden I wear it for summer more.
The Tarte cheek stain I used to wear constantly when I only wore only face powder and not BB Cream so often.
Nars and Anna Sui blush I switch out a lot but haven’t used them much this month.
I think blush is easily my favorite thing to buy~ 
For a long long time I was too scared to wear blush because growing up I thought only harlots wore it and it looked “too fake” for a girl “like me.” At least that’s the lesson I got from my Mom concerning makeup “how to’s.” But a few years ago I abandoned the blush fear and embraced overtly pink’end and orange’d cheeks! 
NEVER LOOKING BACK! Now if I have to rush makeup I at least wear tinted powder AND blush if I can’t wear anything else!
Eyeshadow Primer, Eyebrow, Mascara
Use a shadow primer, eyebrow pencil + powder, and mascara daily. I just switch up which ones for different looks~~
The tiny UD eyeshadow primers were a collection gift at xmas each with different colors/effects. I never wear shadow/liner without applying a primer first or else it’ll crease/smudge.
All waterproof mascara since it’s the only type I can use. I have 2 of the Maybelline Falsies mascara in different black shades. I love these mascara a lot for drama. L’Oreal Double Extend fiber mascara is fantastic for all day wear and length plus it’s the only mascara I can wear on my lower lashes with smudging or transfer turning me into a raccoon! The other is Fairy Drops Curling mascara~ best curling mascara I’ve EVER tried.
Oh that eye-rever upper is for dark circles, it’s like a shimmer vitamin cream but I don’t feel like it really works very well 
Eyeliners!
OK I has so manyyyyyyy
The first is Blinc’s super lasting eyeliner. It goes on really thick and stays all day. I haven’t used it much lately because I like thin liner more right now.
Next two are pencil liners, Anna Sui black & Dolly Wink brown. Both I use when I’m in a hurry. Been using the brown one a lot lately!
Next 3 are black liquid liners. My favorite is Wink Up Maxigrade’s because it has a nice, not too thin, tip. The next two KATE and K-Palette REAL LASTING EYELINER I like for filling in gaps or using first as a base under pencil liner or if I want REALLY REALLY thin eyeliner line. The tips are very thin and take a bit longer to apply so I don’t use these if I’m in a hurry.
The rest are either colored liners or glitter liners 
Eyeshadows!
I like KATE brand best Others are Urban Decay, Hard Candy, Victoria’s Secret, etc… The pink KATE palette is unopened right now. I don’t wear as colorful of eyeshadow as I used to, it’s just not appealing to me in recent months aside from metallics. 
Lips!
Lip glosses and lipsticks! OK this changes nearly every day too Some Candy Doll, some Mac, some Canmake, some Stila, and a few unopened Melliesh Actually half of these are unopened~~
Lash glue~~
Still can’t decide between Lash Grip or DUO. I like both for different reasons but I feel Lash Grip lasts longer on my oily eyes. Haven’t used Dolly Wink’s yet and waiting. My Lash Grip is nearly empty anyway so I’ll be opening it soon.
Makeup Tools~~
Shu Uemura Palettes!
I use these the most right now. I bring both to work with me. I use these eyeshadows and cheek colors nearly every day lately I could honestly just lose the rest of my shadows and cheek colors and wouldn’t panic too much if I still had these. These are AMAZING. 
I’m thinking maybe switching to just buying these in the future as my other makeup runs out… I dunno, it’s very convenient and very high quality. Plus these collection palettes almost always have an assortment. These both have 3 shadows, a gel liner, a cream highlighter, and a cheek color.
Lashes
Figured I’d include these 
Makeup bags
The hanging one holds most my makeup and I switch it out makeup with the heart pouch which I take to work every day~
The Shu Uemura pouch is only for carrying my Shu Uemura palettes and a glitter liner or something small! Haahaa~~ and of course unopened and replacement makeup goes in the little hanging pockets I posted last week~~
This was kinda fun to focus on for a bit.
Lately all I have on my mind is the chance for a government shutdown. 
If that happens I’ll be out of work, no pay, for possibly weeks. 
Thankfully, I guess, I’ll know by March 4th. Till then I need distractions, haahaaa! Thank god for spending freeze though. Saved money might be a serious necessity soon, lulz+fail.
I keep browsing websites like shopnastygal.com. . I need to hold off for just a bit longer

Opening Presents

Merry Day After Christmas!
I don’t think I’ve veg’d out this bad in a LONG while. Christmas Day started at 4:50am because Mike “could have sworn” it was 7am and woke me up to open gifts, haahaa~ So we opened gifts at 5am. We sneak “gifts from Santa” under the tree while the other sleeps. It’s actually quite easy since he always falls asleep before I do (so that’s when I put his out!) and he ALWAYS wakes up before me (so that’s when he puts mine out!.)
There was supposed to be this big snow storm but it puss’d out. I’m glad we decided to go downtown despite it having started snowing because it soon stopped. Walked around and visited all the national/state Christmas trees then visited the National Botanical Garden which is the only museum open Christmas Day. Then got home and ate Godiva chocolates & Christmas dinner and laid on the couch for the next 8 hours until bed.
I’ve mostly been watch The Big Bang Theory :good: on DVD. God I just love TV on DVD sooooooo much more than actual TV.
Watched Doctor Who. I think I need to get off the Doctor Who/David Tennant Tumblrs because I think it’s making me hate Matt Smith. LOL. It keeps me living in THE PAST and I was really jaded watching this year’s Christmas special.
OK some gratuitous Christmas present snaps~~~ :haha:
I didn’t really ask for anything specific this year. All I really wanted was an iPhone but I’m under contract until February and breaking contract would be 400$ (um so yeah I’ll wait!) But it was nice to have everything be a surprise!!!
VICTORIA’S SECRET
As if I even have room for ANY MORE but it’s all quite welcomed and none of them are repeats of anything I already own! Haahaa~ Usually I get a lot of perfume (as in real perfume, not scent mists) but lately I’m just really over using perfumes and rather use scent sprays because they fade sooner so you can switch to a different scent later in the day plus they’re not as overwhelming.Got the fashion show tank too~
This fits surprisingly well and is opaque enough to wear on its own!
Kate Spade earmuffs!
They’re owls!!
I didn’t even know these existed
SHU UEMURA X AYA TAKANO ABRACADABRA MAKEUP POUCH!
Can’t believe I got this!!
I opened this first! It was a free gift with any purchase so I KNEW I must have some other Shu Uemura gift under the tree!
This makeup pouch was for sale on the Japanese site but only available as a free gift with a purchase to only 300 people on the US webstore.
The box it comes in is REALLY pretty too. *_* All the boxes with this collection are very lovely. Last year’s collection only came in boring pink gift bags, nothing special. :F These, the boxes are so different from the contents you want to hang onto them!
The pouch itself is really great and more than I expected! I thought it was just a regular ole pouch. But it’s actually really compartmentalized. The zipper has 2 large and fun designer charms on it. Once open, you see all the different compartments! It unzips to lie flat with 2 zipped pockets and 2 open mesh pockets inside!! :good:
So the other Shu Uemura gift was THE OTHER PALETTE! The Reindeer Kisses palette! I wore it out yesterday and I REALLY like the colors! I’m always a bit afraid of blue since it can often look very 80’s hooker-ish. I also haven’t worn much colorful shadow this past year. I dunno, I almost think it’s better than bowwow queen, but that may be easy for me to say because I’m excited about using the new palette I really like the art on this one a lot though. So sweet and coy. :haha:
But it doesn’t end there!!!
Actually something funny happened, Karme sent me a Christmas gift that also included…. THE REINDEER PALETTE!!! Yes. I has two now, ghahahhahaha bwahahah! :good: :good: :good:
I will never run out of this makeup now!! 
THANK YOU THANK YOU INFINITY!
Obviously, this goes without saying but, she knows me as well as Mike does and that’s no coincidence, hahahahaa! Also included from Karme, a face mask, kitteh ring holder, wallet cardholder (I only use this type of wallet actually! GOOD CALL!) and stickers + a sweet note that made me tearup
Looks like the kitty is kissing the face mask lady. Subconscious item placement I suppose~~
Another really super sweet gift I got was from Veronica! BLUE MOON BLUE MITTENS!! So cuuuuuuuute! I was wanting some adorable mitts actually because all I have really are annoying gloves It’s so sweet she bought these while she was in Japan *feels honored* Also included (besides some awesome stickers, booklets and an Aya Takano calendar snippet) was LUX hair care samples (thank you I’ve wanted to try these line!) and a bath salt with Glenn Beck on it!
HAAHAA OK OK IT’S NOT GLENN BECK but the resemblance is uncanny!! This line of bath salts I remember from Loft but I didn’t buy any! THANK YOU! And it’s rose scent my favorite!
OK so a few other gifts include that super sweet smelling Philosophy Marshmallow holiday set, glitter eye shadow from Victoria’s Secret, Tim Gunn’s latest book, Michael Kors double perfume roller, new Fossil watch, and the Urban Decay eyeshadow primer gift set!
I love this because I can carry it with me everywhere. It has Michael Kors on one side & Very Hollywood on the other.
A gift from my mother-in-law. It’s quite lovely actually! This photo doesn’t do it justice. It’s a black ceramic watch with diamond cut rim and black mother-of-pearl face. The date’s wrong
LOVE UD’S EYESHADOW PRIMER!
If there was 1 product I could ever recommend buying it’s Urban Decay’s eyeshadow primer. I literally use it every, single, time I wear ANY eye makeup!I love this gift set because I can have all the types without breaking the bank. Usually I buy only 1 type at a time. I tend to go for original. I instead bought “Sin” once, which I loved, but got sick of.
The limited edition “Greed” in this set alone is worth it! GORGEOUS GOLD BASE!!!
Looking forward to trying the matte version. Never tried it before.
That’s it for now~
It’s back to work tomorrow but thankfully New Year’s is just around the corner so I have Friday off again :good:
Now I’m off to finish The Big Bang Theory season 2.
