Declutter Part 1 - Makeup Palettes

-
There are so many new products entering the beauty market all the time that it's hard to keep up.  I love buying makeup, but unlike some I don't collect makeup, so I have been meaning to have a little clearout so that I can get rid of the things that I don't use to make room for all the new goodies that are on my wishlist.  I thought I would start with quite an easy category for me - makeup palettes.  I don't really have that many, but I would like to go through everything to declutter the palettes that I never reach for.  Here's a photo of all the palettes that I own.
Declutter Part 1 - Makeup Palettes

Urban Decay Naked Smoky (cost £38.50) – this is a really nice palette with a mixture of nude and dark shades (matte & satin) and it comes with a useful double ended brush.  As much as I would love to rock a smoky eye, my hooded eyelids just won’t have it, so I am happy to give this away to one of my sisters who I know will make use of it.

Urban Decay Naked (cost £38.50) - This is the original and I think the best Naked palette and I have used it loads, so I will definitely be keeping it.  The colours are all great and it also has a brown and black double ended eye liner which is really good.

GOSH Cool With Copenhagen (cost £10.99)– 9 shade matte eyeshadow palette.  I prefer satin or metallic eyeshadow, so I know that I will never reach for this palette filled with neutral and darker shades.  This will probably end up on my blog sale.

Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot Blush Palette (Cost £29.50) – I haven’t used this one yet, but I do like Benefit blushes, so I am going to keep hold of it and make an effort to use it between now and Christmas.

Makeup Revolution Fortune Favours The Brave by British Beauty Blogger Eye Shadow Palette (cost £9.99) – This palette has so many great shades (30 in total) and was great value, so I am definitely keeping hold of this one.

Marks & Spencers British Beauty Blogger Cheek and Eye Palette (cost £14) – this is a nice little palette, but it looks a little too sparkly for me, so I am going to pass this on.

Tarte Off The Cuff Amazonian Cheek Palette (cost $42) – I think this is a great value palette, but I don’t wear blush or bronzer every day and I already have the Benefit blush palette, so there really is no need to keep this one.   


Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette Iconic 3 (cost £4)  and MUA Undressed Eyeshadow Palette (cost £4) – these are really great value eyeshadow palettes that I take with me when I am travelling as it's really not a problem if you lose them or break them on your travels and they have loads of lovely colours which are all really wearable

Finally LORAC Pro Palette (Cost $42) - I bought this in LA and whilst I haven't got round to using it yet I am not going to part with it as it's so hard to get in the UK.

So out of 10 palettes I am getting rid of 4 which is pretty good.

Have you done any decluttering?

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-

**Reposted as the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer is  currently reduced to £2.50 from £4.50. I picked up the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer because it looked like it was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The Primark version costs £4.50 for 45ml and the Bobbi Brown Face Base costs £48.50 for 50ml, so there is quite a price difference.   I had always wanted to try out the Bobbi Brown product, so when I received a mini version in a gift with purchase goody bag I was really excited to try it out, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed.  I have quite dry skin and the face base did not have as much slip as I was expecting, so it didn't feel smooth when I applied my foundation. For the price I was expecting to love it way more than I did. It does have a lovely lemon smell which I really enjoy, where as the Primark version doesn't really have a fragrance.  Overall, I actually preferred the Primark version as it is thicker and it ma

I have wanted to get an LED Mask for ages but with prices for some of them at over £400 I just haven't been able to pull the trigger and buy one yet. So when I saw the LED Light Mask in Primark for £15 I just had to try it out.  The Primark version targets 3 different skin concerns with 3 different types of light sources. Red Light - Use for Anti-Aging benefits by helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles Blue Light - Helps to remove acne causing bacteria and reduce skin  inflammation Yellow Light - Helps to improve rough skin, reduces appearance of wrinkles and skin redness To use you cleanse your face and apply soothing and hydrating products.  You can use with face cream, eye cream, facial mask, eye mask, essence, toner etc.  Press the button for 2 seconds to turn on and press again until the LED light that you want to use appears.  You then use it for 10-20 minutes.  It does advise that in case of sensitivity to use with your eyes closed.  After use switch

Aldi Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-

I managed to get my hands on the newly released Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer from Aldi which is supposed to be a dupe of the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. It costs £5.99 for 50ml whereas the Bobbi Brown product costs £48.50 for 50ml. That's a big difference especially at times like these when every penny counts. The big question - is it any good? I actually really enjoyed using this primer. I have dry skin and this thick creamy primer really suited my skin. It contains vitamin c, vitamin b, vitamin e, shea butter, sodium hyaluronate & geranium oil and I found it very hydrating on my skin and it provided a great base for my makeup. My makeup stayed on all day and didn't go patchy or dry. It also has a fresh grapefruit and geranium scent which is really refreshing, but don't worry its not an overpowering smell. If you have dry skin I really recommend this product. It looks like its only available in store, so be quick as I'm not sure how long it will
