April was another stellar month for using up more products from my stash! Let’s get right down to it:
These are ALL full sized products, folks! #soproud
Trash Stash: April 2015

Eye shadow stash
Here’s the motherlode. I’ve mentioned many times that I have a lot of eye shadows – over 600 – it is the most abundant makeup category that I own. I just love eye shadows and it’s the area of my face that I spend the most time applying makeup. I’ll keep this introduction brief and just let the pictures do the talking.
It took me over 2 hours just to sort and photograph the whole eye shadow collection and probably another 4 to edit everything. Usual disclaimer: this isn’t meant to show off. It was actually quite a beneficial exercise for me to display all my eye shadows visually. Warning: photo heavy post! (50 images)
Your turn: Grade MY skincare routine
So it was suggested that I put my skincare routine up for scrutiny since I was so ruthless in my grading of my friends’ skincare routines. No problem, I’ve not nothing to hide!
Skin type: combination (slightly oily t-zone, normal cheeks), with hormonal breakout on chin. I also have skin sensitivity and tend to break out in hives randomly (allergies, cold/hot weather). My skin also doesn’t tolerate too much manual manipulation (ie scrubs) I’m a delicate flower, what can I say? Continue reading
Omnipotent Oils
I’ve embraced using oils for just about every part of my body – from head to toe – for some years now. I was using oils way before this whole argan oil rage, let me tell ya! Before argan oil was readily availalbe, I was routinely using rosehip oil on my face (I still mourn the discontinuation of Burt’s Bee Repair Serum in Canada).
So what do I use oils for?
Brush stash
Some of you expressed amazement at the amount of brushes I own. Let me refresh your memory, I have:
• 202 eye brushes (of which 163 are eye shadow, 31 liner, 8 brow brushes)
• 126 face brushes (41 blush, 33 foundation, 25 powder, 18 bronzer, 9 concealer brushes)
I don’t think that’s too much, but my perspective may be a little skewed.

Untrieds: Body Shop Colour Crush Nail Polish in #730 Almond Kiss
A recurring series on this blog will be to showcase items in my stash that I have yet to try (spoiler alert: a lot of nail polishes). The first in this series will be The Body Shop Colour Crush Nail Polish in #730 Almond Kiss. I’ve been eyeing this ever since the Body Shop nail polish line launched in October, so I included in my Christmas wishlist and received it in my Christmas stocking.
