now i’m graduating this december!

i love using this highlighter as an eyeshadow topper and on the high points of my face, im gonna be so sad when it runs out😭

🌿products: elf face and body shimmer, flower knows swan ballet palette 01

I hit pan on the Sculpted pomade today! I use this palette every day and thought I'd comment on how I use each shade since the pomades especially are great multipurpose products.

Contour: Primarily I use the Chiseled pomade, which I expect will be the first pan that completely disappears. I sometimes mix in a bit of the Stone pomade for more depth, especially when on camera for work since I tend to get washed out.

Concealer: Sandstone pomade works well for me as a pinpoint concealer on darker spots and to clean up the edge of my lipline.

Brows: Desert pomade by itself works well for lighter makeup days, but I add some of the Sculpted pomade to balance out heavier looks. I use Dessert every day I do makeup and it's gonna be gone soon, even though I use a small amount each time.

Eyeliner: I use all of the brown pomades and Tourmaline, smudged out with the corresponding powder, as eyeliner.

Eye base: I sometimes mix or layer Sandstone or Tourmaline with eye primer as a base for other shadows to show off a glitter or shift better.

Blush: I have used the Core pomade as blush a couple of times.

Eyeshadow: I most often use other eyeshadows in my collection since I prefer vibrant colour, glitter, multi chrome, etc. The Mirage powder works great for me as a transition though for many looks. I also like both the Stone powder (for a while, my only grey) and the Core powder for certain looks.

This is kajal eyeliner by lamel in shade 404

Milani cheek kiss blush!

my new one came in today and the second pic is a side by side of them :D

MUFE translucent pressed powder (mini)

I love this powder but not enough to justify the price of a full size after I finish this one up. But it’s very smooth and finely milled which I appreciate

Saie blush in shade chilly

This blush lasted me almost 2 years of near-daily use and it’s a favorite in my pretty minimalist collection. Super natural flush and v pretty as a lip color too

Used this oldie but goodie today!

I’ve barely hit 4 pans with the ABH Modern Renaissance palette. I still pull the shimmers for my inner corners and sometimes brow ✨ love burnt orange for a super blendable transition and cyprus umber is great for a smokey brown eye.

I have a lot of eyeshadow and products in general from my overconsumption days. Takes me longer to use up bc I don’t do my makeup as much as I used to have to. I love using old products! Most stuff doesn’t break me out, esp powders.

Mac Prep & Prime Eye Base

Was increasingly having trouble squeezing anything out of the tube that i started to dislike using it. Cut it open and realised the entire tube has hardened :’)

Took me 3 years of every-weekday use but unfortunately the mission cannot be continued. Half relieved coz i was beginning to dread the process of squeezing it while in a hurry in the morning.

What have you decluttered recently? Why didn’t a product work for you? What have you learned about your preferences and/or consumption habits? Any changes you want to implement moving forward?

Give your community some insight/advice :)

I bought this pack of 2 of these sized face wash from an outlet beauty store a while ago at a really good price. I finished the first one (took forever) so with the second one I decided to track how long it would be to pan it. Turns out it took about 13 months. I did like the product but I felt like it didn’t really take off my eye makeup up (mascara and eyeliner specifically). Right now I’m going to enjoy trying new fashion washes.

Product: Clinique take the day off cleansing balm

Westman Atelier Super Loaded Tinted Highlight - in peau de rose

2 years later..

The texture is smooth, creamy, and blends like a dream. The shimmer is subtle rather than glittery, giving the most natural, lit-from-within glow. Obsessed with the product and the weighty, beautifully made packaging!

Pan List:

1 x - Essence Fix & Last (bit of a hate pan, but it was like $5)

1x - Cezanne Powder Foundation (From 2018 maybe??)

1x - 4U2 Skin Powder Foundation (Got it in Thailand 2024)

I really want to hit absolute pan on my powders though... I got them when I was new to makeup and didn't know what I was doing LOL. If anyone has any ideas please feel free to give suggestions!!

There’s still a good year of usage left in this I bet.

Product - Nars Light Reflecting Powder in Translucent Crystal

I absolutely love this powder - this is the second one of these I've finished. It is so light and undetectable even on my dry skin. Leave a glowy finish so definitely not for matte lovers.

Do have to say at the end of this product - there's no good way to reset it. The formula didn't take too well to being crushed and left an absolute mess behind. Was glad to see the back of this particular one as my makeup has some white chunks in it.

Please note what's in the pan remaining is actually stuck to the glue and refusing to budge. I have a back up that will be an infinitely better user experience - she's got to go.

this is the fenty match stix in shade amber 01

I used up the Rare Beauty Brow Harmony Pencil in the shade Rich Taupe, plus my second compact of Catrice Magic Shine Eraser

The It's Skin Power 10 Formula WR Oil Ampoule

NOONI Appleplum Lip Oil – Tinted Lip Oil

This eyeshadow (Canmake Perfect Multi Eyes 02) was bought in China, many years ago. It has been with me all these years and it was absolutely perfect for a simple, everyday glittery look. Sad to see it finished, but also glad to be able to continue with a new palette.

NARS radiant creamy concealer
Shade : biscuit

Left is the old tube, right is the new one

There is some product left but honestly it dried up, no longer creamy or glides. I’m calling it quits.

Purchased December 2025

It also went up in price by $2!!! $34 in December and now $36

Labello lip balm in shade blackberry shine. I used to use this religiously in school. I probably wont be buying this anymore.
