People come and go. And so does makeup. Since I am trying to curb my spending habits, I made a pact with myself that for each makeup (or two) that I buy, I have to let go of something from my stash, to somehow feel less guilty about buying. One replaces the other - that will be the cycle unless I really like something and decide it's a keeper that I won't let go of. I have recently done a little de-stashing and have let go of most of the items I barely use and here are the replacements I have acquired since last week (and maybe a little bit longer than that for the mascara).
1. Clinique Happy Heart 100mL
2. MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural Light
3. RMK Liquid Foundation 102
4. Giorgio Armani Blushing Fabric 2
5. Kiss Me Heroine Make Volume & Curl Mascara
6. Kanebo KATE High Coverage Pressed Powder UV
7. Models Own Lip Balm in Tangerine (which I am absolutely in love with at the moment!)
8. Avon Ideal Oil Control Pressed Powder
9. Covergirl Clean Pressed Powder
10. Covergirl Tru Cheeks Blush 1
11. Covergirl Tru Cheeks Blush 5
12. L'Oreal Volume Perfect Lipstick in Fawn
13. Colour Collection Vitamin E Lip-Eye-Cheek Color in Rich Apricot - a little local lovin'!
14. Lilo & Stitch plastic jars for samples
15. More cosmetic jars
16. Make Cleansing Pad
17. Dove White Beauty Bar
18. Dove Intense Repair Conditioner
Not in pictures:
19. Herbal Essences Hydralicious Shampoo
20. Dove Intense Repair Shampoo
21. Colour Collection Moisture Intense Lipstick in Autumn Glaze
22-23. Tupperware Brand Jellies Glossy Tints in Apple Glaze and Tropical Punch
I have a lot of reviews coming up. I only need the drive to get back to blogging regularly. Anyway, I hope you're all having a wonderful week so far.
Cheers,
I need the same drive towards blogging soon. Ever since I went back to school I haven't blogged a decent thing yet. I hope to catch the groove again. Thanks for sharing babe! <3
ReplyDeleteIt feels quite different when you haven't blogged for a long time. I feel like I'm a newbie once again. Hehe. Let's catch the groove indeed. :D
DeleteI've been doing a lot of buying recently but unlike you... I don't have the strength to let go of others. Haha! Looking at my makeup stash feels overwhelming and I have mixed feelings of happiness and guilt. Oh dear!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I'm drawing my strength to let go of the things from something else. :P
DeleteI think I need plastic jars too for samples! Haven't thought of it... xP
ReplyDeleteNow you can do that. :P
DeleteCute ng Lilo & Stitch plastic jars! :D
ReplyDeleteI'd like to try the Dove hair care line. :D
Yeah, it was my kiddie side that won when I grabbed those small jars. :D
DeleteA fabulous haul! Thanks for the pics!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteI'm not much of a makeup person person, pero I'm like that when it comes to skin care.
ReplyDeleteStill... :P
Deleteoohhh!!!
ReplyDeletethat's a good idea to avoid overspending!
hahaha!
i think we all are guilty of that,ne?
great products,sweetie!
^_^
Haha! Yes! But I am doing my best to stick with what I am doing at the moment. So far so good! :)
DeleteOh my I'm super excited for the new Dove line! Dove lang ang kasundo ng hair ko! Will be hoarding <3
ReplyDeleteI like both the Intense Repair shampoo and conditioner! :)

DeleteMAY RATIO TLG PAMMYCAKES? HAHA! CUTE EVER~
ReplyDeletecharleskins! like ko new name ko har har xox
Haha! Yes! There is a reason behind it though. I can do it! :p
DeleteI would love to see the Giorgio Armani Blushing Fabric swatch! Pammy you have lots of self control!
ReplyDeleteI am loving the Blushing Fabric and will do a review SOON. :D Yeah, I have to do it. :)
DeleteThat's a good resolution... for years I've done that too but for the past year I've been building up my makeup collection.

We all deserve a break at some point. And what better way than to splurge? :D
Deletei said goodbye to rarely used stuff already...i feel that i will better give it to people who will use it rather than keep it and let it expire..sayang naman diba?
ReplyDeletethe dove shampoo and conditioner is great tried it here na. :) hope you'll like it too!
So true! Me likey the Dove shampoo and conditioner! :)
DeleteSame as you, I am glad I have the "tactic" so that I won't overspend! Ako naman, dapat MAY SALE! bago bibili! at least 20% off! not unless..NOT UNLESS I am done with a certain makeup that I really need for clients...for the rest..it CAN wait until SALE! *kuripot mode* hahah
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice tactic. Will incorporate that on my pact too! :D
DeleteNice nice! :) Balak ko din bilhin yung Mac Mineralize Skin Finish Natural. Excited to test it at the store. :)
ReplyDeleteMy skin's dry at the moment - super on the cheeks though my t-zone still gets oily - and it works wonderfully in giving my face a nice glow. :)
Deletei've the same thinking now - i want to buy new stuff but feel the need to let go of some as well.
ReplyDeleteooh you got MAC MSF, i need to buy one soon too - mine's hit the pan already!
how you liking the RMK foundie? i only love their base, the foundie is too light for me. am still loyal to MUFE Mat Velvet+.
You know, I am liking the combination of the RMK + MAC MSF Natural. Might give them the thumbs up if I continuously see positive results. :)
DeleteGreat pact! I'm trying to curb spending too.. LOL. slowly but surely ;) That is a great haul!
ReplyDeletelove ur haul sis!!! lemming to try the mac msf.. review pls pretty pammycakes!!! mmuahh Haapy hearts day sis!
ReplyDeletethose jars are adorable! where did you find them??
ReplyDeleteHi Pammy. Loving your blog and I'm an "aspiring" blogger. Maybe soon, hehe. I've read before of using the small containers for asking foundie samples, but those are blogs from the states. Is it okay to ask samples here? Where do you usually ask samples then? Thanks! More power.
ReplyDeleteOh i really love your Lilo & Stitch plastic jars for samples? There do you get it from?
