My Makeup Collection 2008

**EDIT** Forgot to add my paint pots! (Just added it)

Here is my makeup collection as of late (NOT including mineral makeup such as eyeshadows and blushes)...this is about 3 years worth of makeup, so don't be alarmed, LOL. I don't even think it's that huge compared to others i've seen so I am pretty proud for not going TOO crazy! Some of them are gifts from the BF or friends, others were products I reviewed for companies, but mostly gifts to myself, LOL. I have enough makeup for my future daughter and grand-daughter! Of course the makeup habit is a deadly one, but I have been a lot better at not buying the first thing I see just for the sake of having it; as well as not buying items that are dupe-able, or i'd rarely use. (How many variations of "Deep Truth" eyeshadow do we REALLY need?!)

The only thing I really like "collecting", are the MAC lipsticks and lipglasses (LE items), because I love lippies above everything else. Even if I am having a no-makeup day, I like adding some lipgloss on my lips. Do I REALLY use all this makeup? For the most part, yes. Obviously not all at once, LOL, but I do bring things out from the grave and use them every now and then.

Some of the products featured I have not done a review yet, but I will soon!



(I included my one and only NARS "Turkish Delight" I got from Pretty in Pink)






I forgot to add 2 NYX lipglosses in the last pic, so I just added it here...

  7. OMGosh Vanessa! You have lots of make up! And I thought I already have a lot, yours is like a store already! hahah! *envy* :)

    I'm being good too on spending/buying make up but whenever I see a lipgloss/lipsticks at CCO or MAC, I can't help myself! OMG, the husband's like "How many lips do you have? and how many eyes do you have? I bet you have 10 heads hiding somewhere else" Haha! He's funny but its true. I have so much lip products and I want more! Especially the LE ones :D

  30. It's like porn for girls! LOL! What cracks me up is that we have so many of the same colors yet we look nothing alike (I'm a redhead with blue eyes and very fair skin with rosey undertones).

    Thanks for the info about Ly-Na Pearl cream. I've been using it for a week now and have gotten so many compliments on my skin. It's great stuff!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Nice! I should do a post like this. :D I know it won't compare to yours! I guess that's a good thing, since makeup does expire, except for the mineral stuff...

  37. Hi Vanessa!!
    I'm so happy today,because you visited my blog...All is typed in portuguese,because all my visitors are brazilians,but I've posted many pics of my tutorials..I hope you'll see!!.I love you blog,and your tutorials,you always give so many good ideas,like how to combine eyeshadows...I have a question...What primer you used to fix the barryM dazzle dusts??I have so many colors,but I think that's type of eyeshadow doesn't lasts enough. And about lips,what lipstick you use to create a very nude look?Thank you...Many hugs!!!xoxo
