Hi all! This post has been in the works for an embarassingly long amount of time and is already out of date, whoops!
I took photos of my collection in June 2020, and have since added and subtracted many lipsticks. However, I think these swatches can still be useful!
Hope everyone’s Halloween was fun and full of candy! This year I did two costumes (Poison Ivy and Peggy Carter) but I made the extra effort for my Poison Ivy makeup. As an additional challenge I tried to use only indie makeup!
here’s a fun crazy dramatic shot, haha 🙂
I am literally a year late with this review, but hey! Better late than never! And of course the timing felt right since it’s truly autumn sweater weather now.
I have Shiro’s whole “Collection of Calamitous Cosmetics” swatched for you today. It is their Series of Unfortunate Events collection from fall 2016. Their new fall 2017 collection just dropped today too! It’s inspired by the animated mini-series “Over the Garden Wall”. I am OBSESSED with Shiro’s fall collections. Remember the Harry Potter one from fall 2015? Still one of my all time faves. The fall eyeshadows they make are just pure perfection.
Without further ado, let’s view this incomparable tragedy about orphans, terrible villains, a secret society, and many unfortunate events.
Shiro Cosmetics: A COLLECTION OF CALAMITOUS COSMETICS
I’m catching up on my empties now! There was a lot finished in June and July. I’m hoping to finish even more this August, but I definitely need to recommit to finishing already open products rather than starting on new things. It’s hard because I just love playing around with new items! But that’s what makes this the challenge part of the Reverse Rouge Challenge 🙂
summer empty products
Omg guys I’m moving in one week [insert panicky scream here]. It’s my biggest move in a long while and I totally forgot how long it takes to pack! I’ll definitely be packing until the very last minute.
On that note, I have a lot of August empties because I aggressively tried to use up as much as I could of all the half-full random things I have around. There’s a lot and I’m proud of myself, haha 🙂
AUGUST EMPTY PRODUCTS !
It’s a Saturday swatch party at my place and everyone is invited 🙂
I’ve had quite a backlog of my Birds of a Feather series that I’ve been meaning to post… so I’m procrastinating on packing for my move by playing with my makeup! Today I have jewels to show off: my emeralds! Now not all of these are emerald, but these are my dark greens to my weird olives. I love green- it really helps show off the green in my hazel eyes. Alas, I rarely wear it as anything other than liner. I just can’t seem to get a fully green eye look to work on me! Any tips and tutorials from you guys would be loved ❤
green indie eyeshadow collection
It has been madness around my place this past month. Oh, and apparently I’m moving sometime early September and it’s sort of unplanned and [insert excited & frantic screaming here].
If anyone has tips for how to safely pack and move with makeup and perfume (especially the 394734 indie samples I own) I would greatly appreciate it!
And without further ado, here is my super belated pile of June and July empties!
empty products galore
As you may know, I have undying love for lip products. Now that it’s summer I’m wearing lipglosses more often than usual. My #1 brand, total Holy Grail status lipgloss is from Shiro Cosmetics.
Oh, and you can get COMPLETELY CUSTOM colors made for you too 😀
Shiro Cosmetics Lipglosses
Yeah I know it’s two weeks into June, but hey! It’s the thought that counts!
I’ve been polishing off a lot of indies lately and tossing some ancient makeup things…
Hello everyone, it’s been a long time! I haven’t disappeared for good, but I have enjoyed my short break. Meanwhile I’ve found some solutions to the whole wordpress-wants-to-charge-me-moolah problem. One theory I have is that I burned through my blog storage extra fast because I’ve been using nice hi-res photos. The bigger the photo, the more memory it uses. So I’m probably going to painstakingly replace every photo on my blog (so many…) with a slightly lower-res one. I’ve been using my photos in all their 3000 pixel glory, so I think I can change everything to like 900 x 1200 without any terrible loss of quality.
As you can probably tell, this is going to be really time consuming. I’m at 99% full in the storage wordpress gives me, so I can’t upload a lot of photo replacements at once. Also I’m not even 100% sure if this is truly what’s killing my blog storage but it’s worth a try!
Long story short, I will still totally be around! I know I’ll be writing a March Empties post soon, and some other posts are in the works. But until I get the memory issue under control, posts will be slower than usual.
Thanks to everyone for sticking around so far! I’ll be back soon 🙂
xoxo
