I also have an obsession with highlighters in case you haven’t noticed. I love a good glow and am trying to find out an excuse to buy the Anastasia Aurora Glow Kit. Yeah, first world problems over here. I don’t have an overabundant amount of highlighter, so I am going to combine this category with blush. I don’t always remember to wear blush, but when I do I really enjoy it. Most mornings, I’ll only highlight or I only use blush. I mostly highlight though I try to go back and forth. In the fall, I’ll probably use blush again.
Highlighter: 12
I’d like to cut down this stash to 6 highlighters, so I intend to use up quite a few mini tubes of highlighter. I included the ones in my pallets. I don’t want to forget about them. I have a nice dip going in my Bareminerals powder highighter. I like the three highlighters in my Smashbox pallet, but they are a bit too glittery for my taste. I want to use one up next year completely. They are great to use in the summer for a really nice glow. I prefer the powder and liquid highlighters for work that are a little bit more natural and just a gleam instead of a beam.
Blushes: 12
I think I can use up two blushes if I set my mind to it by January. I don’t use a ton of blush and I don’t use it very often. I want to make more of an effort to use up my blushes. I think I can use up the Tarte blush from the Sephora birthday present this year and possibly the mini Josie Maran cheek gel. Blush isn’t something I really go out at boy, the pallets being the exception to this rule. I’m not a big blush fan, so I’m happy with only having a few on hand. I look forward to hitting pan on some of these blushes.
Bronzer: 4
The only bronzer I have is in pallet form. I want to use up these bronzers before buying anymore. All of them are really great for my fair complexion. Some of them do pull a little orange on me, but I still find them workable. I would like to hit pan on one of these by January. I am really loving the Hourglass one, so I think I might hit pan on that one. Every season, I switch out my makeup and concentrate on a new batch in my collection. I think I will breakout this pallet for the Fall. It feels very Fall to me.
I have 28 face powders that I want to use up and I forgot that the Hourglass pallet has a big face powder in it. So, I should be all set for face powder for a while. Once I use up my loose powders, I will be using this pressed one or I might just take a break in the fall and use this whole pallet for a consistent three months. I’m sure I won’t use up the whole thing in three months. I’m interested in seeing how far I get with it though.
With Love ❤

Sounds like a good plan! I’ve also got some powders I’m trying to use up 😊
Don’t they take forever? I never used them on the daily so I never realized how long they really do last besides daily face powders that is.
So true! Makes me think carefully about what I buy 😉
I have a ton of highlighters too. They really start to pile up after a while because of subscription boxes.
Most of the little ones are like a month of use, so I’m trying to push them out a bit more. I’m enjoying liquid highlighter for Summer but I think Ill go into cream for the fall.
Does the liquid one stay on better? I’ve used the benefit watts up one on hot days and have had no issue with it staying on.
The liquid just looks more natural and blends seamlessly into the skin. I like it better for summer, because it is very lightweight like wearing nothing at all.
Huh. Maybe I will have to put that into my fall empties. I think we have the same liquid highlighter. Probably from Ipsy.
Or Birchbox. 💖 I’m tempted to try Ipsy again.
Really? Have they been offering nice things lately?
It seems like it’s more of a variety than just make up depending on how you set your profile. Maybe next year for a year I would do it.
Huh. That’s good to hear. I was not all that impressed around this time last year which is when I ended my subscription. But generally all of the services seems to have improved with picking better curated items, at least as far as I know.
The only one I’m not convinced with is Birchbox. I still think that the items aren’t that great, but Ipsy’s point system is still in place. They seem to be picking up on some nice Indy products as well. IDK. I think I want to try Ipsy next year that’s if I have a better paying job by next year. I’m looking right now within the company that I work for. Nothing has come up yet, but I’m sure something will by then. I’m willing to settle for a $19 an hour job but my goal is $20.
Will the degree be in
Will the degree be finished up next month or are you only half way through it? Will that help you find something a little easier or is it just a matter of waiting? I too look forward to the day of having more money but I know it’s not the practical anytime soon.
I get my degree on August 21st. The degree definitely helps as most jobs want at least an Associate’s with experience. Next year, I’m actually getting a second Associates degree as well. I’m one class away from another one after getting this one. I’m going to take a break for the rest of this year and read and possibly finish my book. Deep clean the house. I actually have a home visit this Friday for a consult on early intervention for Dean and the Friday after is his assessment where a group of three women is coming to the house to play with him and see what his needs are. I have to call back in October for the neurologist appointment. They are currently all backed up even though he’s a priority case.
It will be nice to have both and to have that be over and done with. Hopefully the visits go well! It can take quite a while to get doctors appointments sometimes but at least October isn’t that far away.
To book the appointment for next year. 😕
Oh 😦 that is a bit of a wait. Hopefully early in the year at least?
Don’t know yet. Hopefully.
