Product Discussion: End of March Overview

Buy
- Despite reading so many negative reviews, I am super happy with both of the Colour Pop Ultra Mattes (Donut and Lumiere 2) and Lippie Stix/Lippe Liner (Bitchette) I ordered, Lumiere 2 has not left my purse since I got it. I would definitely buy more. I absolutely hate the Super Shock shadows I got though – I’ve tried three different eye primers and it won’t stay on my lids, and I have big fat fingers so I can’t place it properly. I’m going to try to destash them.
- I cashed in my Optimum points for: NYX Colour Correcting Palette, NYX Taupe, Benefit Cha Cha Balm and Stila Liquid Liner. I only really need the green shade in the Colour Correcting palette, so the rest is kind of a waste. NYX Taupe is awesome, it’s a perfect dupe for the Smashbox contour shade I was using before. Benefit Cha Cha Balm is literally the worst lip balm I’ve ever owned, it’s extremely drying. Stila Liquid Liner is good, but I miss KVD Trooper, it allows for a more precise line.

Pass over
- Too Faced PB&J Palette: I got sucked in by the cute packaging and the scent, but after accessing my current collection I realize I already own every shade in this palette.
- Tartiest Lip Paint: I was all hyped up for these because I love Tarte, but after swatching I realized there was nothing unique or special about them
- NYX Lip Lingerie: Too many mixed reviews and I can’t stand the crowd in the NYX store
- Kylie Lip Kits: With shipping, one Kylie Lip Kit works out to approx. $50 CDN. Nope.
- Morphe 35O: I’ve been pining over this, but I barely use my 35N as it is, and Stephanie Nicole’s awesome video about relabeling has permanently put me off of Morphe - Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette: Again, too many mixed reviews. I still want to find a new neutral palette, but this won’t be it

Destash
- I’m trying to get rid of most of my palettes on MUE. I basically reach for the same two palettes over and over (Naked 1 and Venus 1) while the others collect dust - Anastasia Cream Contour Kit: It doesn’t work for my skin type and I don’t want it to go to waste

I completely abandoned my Nars Virtual Domination Palette for a few months and have started using it again daily, I forgot how much I love Laguna and Orgasm. I am looking forward to the VIB sale next week – I went and picked up a few foundation samples today, I’m hoping I find one that works. I’m also pretty set on getting the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea palette.
