October Cosmetics

As mentioned in my previous post,  I will be grouping my cosmetics monthly so that I will be able to use all of them. If you only knew how much cosmetics I have! I really want to use and finish them all. So I hope I can have good results with this experiment. Here are my October Cosmetics:

October products, bitsandtreats

I know it looks chaotic but don’t worry! I grouped them and took individual photos. Let’s start with the face:

I seriously need to finish my Laura Mercier cream foundation (Bamboo Beige). It’s hanging by a thread and I think I only have 3 uses left for this tube. Next is the Palgantong Powder in Pearl Beige. I haven’t used this yet although I have used it on my clients. Let’s see if it can at least live with my acidic face for a couple of hours. This Benefit That Gal primer is also hanging by a thread so I better finish it fast. Next is Benefit High Beam and ELF HD Undereye Setting Powder (to be blogged soon). Lastly, the Benefit Confessions of a Concealaholic kit. This is another product that I seriously have to finish. I have this bad habit of hanging on to stuff that needs to be gotten rid of.  Tsk, tsk.

On to the eyes:

I’ve been giving my NARS 15th Anniversary Palette some love lately and I plan to continue doing that. For most of you who have the Urban Decay NAKED palette, I think this is one of the most used palettes in your collection. Not me. I rarely use this palette so I’m giving it some love this month. At the bottom is my VS palette and Maybelline Cream palettes in Pedal to the Metal and Flash of Forest and of course, my Maybelline Diamond Glow Palette in Copper Brown which I totally forgot about.

I will also use these Maybelline Color Tattoos more this month. Here are Pomegranate Punk, Painted Purple and Audacious Asphalt.

Finally for the eye category, my Urban Decay Big Fatty Mascara and my Urban Decay Duo Liner in Zero and Whiskey. You see my bad habit?

Now to the cheeks. This is an ELF blush that has no label. It’s a deep, warm pink. Next is MAC Giggly and my NARS Maui and Palm Beach blush and bronzer duo which I depotted last month.

October lip products, bitsandtreats

For the lips, here are my choice products – Too Faced Girls Dig Pearls Mermaid, Maybelline Nude Pearl, Revlon Gumdrop, Avon Violet Beauty, Kiss Me 04, Estee Lauder Candy, NARS Dolce Vita and EOS Lemon Drop.

Finally, for my nails – OPI Not Like the Movies, OPI for Sephora matte purple and gray, Burlesque for OPI, OPI matte black and China Glaze Pelican Gray.

I seldom leave the house nowadays so I’m hoping that I can at least make a dent on these products. These products will be left on my vanity for the rest of October. Come November, I will show you a new batch. I’m quite excited really.

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

  I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...
