• My current Sephora wishlist. This used to be dozens of items, but now I'm really trying to keep it more...curated. I keep an item on here for weeks, maybe even months, until I'm convinced I really do want/need it. 1) I've had the KVD palette on here ever since it came out. It's been OOS repeatedly, but I've also been on a palette no-buy for a while (broken only for the Narcissist that I got with points rewards). I dreamily swatch it every time I'm in the store, and I truly don't have anything like it, so I'll probably pick this up soon. 2) The Stellar foundation was recently recommend by @faceonomics as an option for lighter olive skin, and I really need to find a CF alternative to the Giorgio Armani 6 (the perfect green mixer). Just need to confirm CF status. 3) This is probably the least likely purchase for now. I wasn't impressed by the Deciem Sub-Q eye serum, but I am tempted by the reviews for this. If I do get it, I'm going to be stern with myself about returning it if it doesn't do anything exceptional. 4) This is my absolute favorite facial cleanser, and it's on here because I need to repurchase it soon. What do you guys have on your wishlist? Is it vast, or do you keep it restrained? Do you find yourself impulse-shopping from it, or does it help you keep yourself in check? #curatedwishlist #makeupwishlist #consciousconsumption

  • TheBalm was one of my favorite brands, once upon a time, but it feels like I've moved on, while they've stayed exactly the same. They're a good, solid brand, putting out good, solid products, and they've certainly stayed true to their defining aesthetic. I think I've just tried more innovative formulas in recent years, and my own aesthetic has changed. It's one of those it's not you, it's me scenarios. These are probably all going into my pass pile. #thebalm #declutter #makeupdeclutter

  • Kat Von D palette collection - 17 palettes and quads. Looking at it like this, I see 3 that are totally unused, 6 that I can easily let go of, and 4 that I put in the keeper category. The rest are somewhere in between. As I've been going through my stuff, I've come to realize how little I use the things I own. Some things not at all, but even my favorite brands, and favorite items within those brands, barely get any use. I'm trying to think less like a beauty blogger/archivist, and just keep what I love. #katvond #declutter #makeupdeclutter #eyeshadowpalette

  • Is it possible to have too many variations on a duochrome? They are surprisingly different, based on the swatches in the second picture. Swatched on bare skin, left to right: WnW Confort Zone, MAC Club, Kat Von D Queen from the Spellbinding palette, Kat Von D On The Road, Urban Decay Lounge and Ardency Inn Peacock. Closest dupes: WnW and UD Roach. Least favorite: MAC Club and KVD Queen. Favorite: AI Peacock and KVD On the Road. #eyeshadowcomparison #duochromeeyeshadow #duochrome #maccosmetics #urbandecay #wetnwild #ardencyinn #katvond
