Okay, clearly the year is more than halfway over. I know I’ve been neglecting this site, so I felt really bad and figured why not update, especially now that I pretty much have an endless amount of time on my hands. I hadn’t signed on in so long that it took me a while to figure out what my password was. But anyway…

I was cleaning out my stash of makeup after having bought a few items from the M·A·C Friends and Family sale. I felt guilty adding to my pile, so I got rid of a few items because they were either old or I just had no use for it and it was something I couldn’t just give away to someone else. What made me really sad was that I neglected my paint pots (I tend to grab my Pearl Cream Colour Base and use it as a base for my eyeshadows) and some of them weren’t closed tightly that they dried up. Three wasted paint pots! I realize that I shouldn’t ever buy them anymore because I’m a creature of habit who prefers using the CCB or shadesticks. I’ll just pick off the stuff and use the jars for Back to M·A·C. At least some good will have come out of those dried up pots.

Another thing I realized was that I had a considerable number of full-size pigment jars and I had not touched pigments in forever either. I really like the portability of eyeshadows since they’re in a palette already. I know I could just press the pigments, but I just don’t want to do that. Don’t ask me why. I don’t know either. From now on, I may just stick to buying some samples if I really want a pigment.

I came across a bunch of drugstore eyeshadows I hadn’t touched as well (and some I just threw away because the pigmentation was nonexistent), so I may do a look with those in a few days. It’s not a promise, but I’ll do my best. I also have a LOT of lipsticks and lipglosses, so I am banning myself from buying any for a very long time. Seeing how much I owned made me kind of disgusted with myself for being such a glutton (and I know there are other people who have even more than me!), so I told myself I shouldn’t be buying any makeup, unless it was for someone else.

Lastly, I will be posting an entry (again, who knows how long it’ll take) about brushes, like what are the essentials for a beginner, stuff like that. I’m hoping I can find the motivation to write. Until next time! Happy 4th of July if you’re in the US!
