Why my make-up collection never grows

I’m back with another Project Hit Pan post! I’m not setting any target month whatsoever this time. Simply because …. aiyah, it’s my project right, so own time own target. As if school’s not stressful enough pfft. Don’t ask why the intro sounds so angsty. I’ve missed you all, really ;D

If you follow my blog, I’m sure you know how much I love my lippies. My recent cosmetics spring cleaning (not like I have a lot to begin with) saw me digging out lipsticks which I haven’t touched in a really, really long time. That can only mean two things; either 1) I’ve used up most of it or 2) the color/lipstick no longer appeal to me. Again, if you followed me long enough, you know that I’m not a make-up junkie (ie. I don’t keep things which I won’t use). So the five lipsticks, by default, are definitely in the list!

Make-up is all about experiment. Contrary to the cliche: “once you put on eyeliner, you can’t live without it”, I managed to survive. I went eyeliner-less on my waterline for the past two months and it feels so refreshing. I decide to just use my liners when I have dark/heavy eye looks. Oh, between you and me, I think I look younger without liner on my waterline *giggles*

I love my Canmake liquid liner, I really do. It’s no doubt my HG liquid liner but I’m just itching to try out gel and felt tip liners.

Blushers come in second after my lipsticks. Ironically though, I only have three blushes. I need and I must finish this one for it is the sole reason why I put off buying blushers for the longest time maigod. And if you’re wondering why – it relates back to “I don’t keep things I won’t use often”. So yeah, until I finish the pot, no new blushers allowed. But umm I’ll make an exception for this week. HARI RAYA LAH GIMME CHANCE CAN?

This kemetot (read: shortie) should be easy to use up, no?

One make-up “rule” that I will never follow: Change your mascara every three months. So even when you have so much product left, three months later must throw ah? Hello, mascaras in Singapore are not cheap okay. It’s taking me forever to use up a sample size. Imagine how much longer I’ll take to use up a full-sized one. Faster finish lah Clinique, I want my Maybelline Magnum back!!

Hai studio fix, I’ll risk myself looking darker just so I can finish you up. Is this how you repay me after all the love I’ve showered you with. Love, disappointed me.

I interrupt this happy post with two products which topped my “why the hell did I buy this” ”products I regret buying” list. I know the Elf’s eyebrow kit was featured in one of my favorites post. Not until it made my life difficult. First, I only dropped it once. ONCE. In my defense, I dropped my MAC blusher and studio fix countless of times yet they are still intact. Second, just look at the product, are those stones or powder srsly?

Then comes the MAC shade stick. What is this thing? I don’t even. The whole damn thing fell out after one application and I can’t twist it back. Come to think of it, I don’t even know why I bought it in the first place.

So how do you deal with nonsense products? That’s right, THROW THEM AWAY.
