Operation Use My Makeup: Kit #1

Each time I sit down to do my makeup I more often than not reach for the same few items and end up ignoring some of my stash. I am also a little guilty of 'saving' some of my more expensive/pretty products, in favour of trying to use up other cheaper (or not so good) products. With this all in mind I am starting an "Operation Use My Makeup". I no longer want to be pushing items to the back of my drawers, or forgetting about them only to find they are no longer at their best. Basically I want to make the most out of my stash and evenly use everything!

Each fortnight I will be choosing a makeup kit and sticking with it. This doesn't mean these are the only makeup items I'll be using this fortnight, it's just my base, mostly everyday, products. I'll reach into my stash for any other items I may need each day (depending on what makeup I'm wearing each day!)

Even just in this first kit I've re-discovered a few items which I'd either forgotten I had, or hadn't used in a long while.

So what is in my first kit?



  • NP Set Pre-Foundation Bronzing Primer
  • Clinique Even Better Makeup in 03 Ivory
  • Loreal Glam Bronze Eau De Soleil
  • Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer in 02 Light Medium
  • By Terry Hyaluronic Eye Primer Brightener
  • Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter
  • Bodyography Loose Complexion Powder in Wheat
  • Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette
  • Mirenesse Sexy Secret Weapon Mascara
  • Benefit Smokin Eyes Kit
  • Teez Paradise Perfect Lipgloss in Sheer Gold
  • Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely fragrance
What do you think? Do you ever neglect some of your makeup items?

  1. The Clinique Even Better Foundation is one of my all time favourite foundations.. I love it so much and I definitely feel like it's not talked about enough! That Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette is seriously dreamy, I NEED it in my life!! This is such a great idea by the way, I feel like I have so much make-up and half of it never gets used.. I might do something similar myself! x
