Use It Up! Products to Finish in 2015

December 27, 2014

Hello friends!!

After all the presents and shopping it’s that time of realization again. OH SHIT why do I have so much stuff! Here’s the items I’ve rounded up to finish in 2015! It seems like the inflow of products keep exceeding the outflow. AH!

You can see which items I wanted to use up last year here. You can also see my current progress here, but I will do an updated finalized one in the upcoming days.

EYES

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara: I bought this earlier in 2014 and have used it a bit. I liked it at the beginning but not a super big fan of it anymore. See review here
NYC Big Bold Volume Mascara: I received this in August 2014 as part of the NYC Beauty Pro program but I don’t really like this one. It has the synthetic brushes which kind of scares me haha. I will just give it a couple more shots and see how I feel. 
NYC HD Color Trio in Central Park Plum: I also received this through NYC in October 2014 so this is relatively new. The colors are beautiful and really easy to use for everyday.

Bare Minerals READY Eyeshadow 2.0 in the Inspiration: This mini duo is from the Beauty in Bloom set I got in April 2014. I’m not a huge fan of the colors but there’s only .5g of each so I’m going to try to use it up!

Tarina Taratino Eyeliner in Broken Doll: Finally an old product! I’ve had this since October 2012 and have loved it since! It’s harder to use up though because it’s a highlighting type of color.

Kat V Don Eyeliner in Proud Peacock: Bought this one December 2013 as part of my big haul. This color is quite unique and beautiful!

FACE

The Balm Hot Mama: I realized I stopped posting hauls this year but I bought this on Hautelook in July 2014. It’s a really beautiful shade but there’s 7g of product so I doubt I’ll even hit pan!!
Maybelline Dream Fresh BB: I looovee this! Bought it in June 2014 but it’s a bit dark for me right now. So hopefully in the summer I can use this up! Review here.
Benefit Hoola Bronzer: OLDIE ALERT! This was literally one of the first high end products I’ve ever owned. I bought this in December 2011 and think that I’ve used it quite a bit but there’s barely a dent! TYPICAL!
BareMinerals READY Blush in The One: This also came in the Beauty in Bloom set I got in April 2014. There’s 2g of product and it’s a relatively neutral shade so I’m hopeful.
LIPS

I won’t go into each in detail but the tarte ones are from December 2013. The Marc Jacobs and Buxom are from this year’s Sephora Got lips set.
The Too Cool for School lip pencil is from Asia so around fall 2013 and lastly the Burt’s Bees lipbalm which I love but haven’t been using it cause I don’t like my lips to tingle in the winter. HAHA is that weird?
I like all of these products and should be able to finish all with no problem!

Bare Minerals Lipstick in Speak Your Mind: This came ALSO in the beauty in bloom set haha. It’s a really pretty mid toned pink.
One Direction Lipstick: The color looks so bright in the tube but it’s just a tint of color. It smells sweet as well! See review here.
YSL Rouge Volupte Shine in #5: I splurged on this in summer 2013 and it’s so beautiful!! I can’t believe I still haven’t blogged about it haha. But I definitely want to use this up before it goes bad!
Etude House Shini Stars Lipbalm: Got this in Asia so November 2013 ish. Love the way this smells but don’t like how I have to use my fingers.
PHEW! Thanks for sticking with me to the end. I noticed a lot of the products I picked are quite new so I might browse my collection and a couple of the older items in. I want to keep my makeup under 3 years old! 
If you are doing something similar please link me so I can read it! And we can keep each other on track during the year πŸ˜‰

We made it on the kyo-train garaku by Hankyu and I We made it on the kyo-train garaku by Hankyu and I'd highly recommend boarding this train if you're transiting between Osaka and Kyoto. ❀️‍πŸ”₯🌸
No reservations are required and the fare is just the basic fare (approximately $4!) πŸš…
Check online for the most updated timetable but the most current is
9:32, 11:32, 13:32, and 15:32 leaving Osaka for Kyoto!
We showed up 30 minutes before boarding and was the first ones for car 5. Car 3 seems to be the most popular for the cherry blossoms!
Forget your eyeshadow palettes! This little single Forget your eyeshadow palettes! This little single eyeshadow from merit is all I need! πŸ’š
I've been using this a lot on my vacation and it stays on amazingly well all day even with the humidity.
I went for a more unique shade but all the basic browns and neutrals are available too!
.
Would you swap your current eyeshadow for this?
Footsteps in Tokyo πŸ‘£ - some highlights from our Footsteps in Tokyo πŸ‘£ - some highlights from our 5 days!
Read this before going to Teamlab Planets!! πŸ’« Read this before going to Teamlab Planets!! πŸ’«

1. BUYING TICKETS 🎟 - Tickets are about $30 CAD each and you can purchase online directly. I'd recommend buying one month in advance to secure the 9am time slot!

2. WEAR A DRESS, if you want πŸ‘—- there's warning that the mirrors will reflect and your undergarments would show 🀭 but unless someone's standing right on top of you, it won't be visible. I wore shorts to avoid this but I think a skirt or dress would have been totally fine.

3. GO EARLY πŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈ - I know, oldest tip in the book but it took us almost an hour to get there from shinjuku. We arrived at 850am for 9am entry and there was already a huge line. We got in around 930am.

4. READ THE PLAQUES πŸ“œ - either before or after the exhibits, there are plaques that explain the exhibit. Although teamlab is amazing for photos, it adds a layer of depth if you understand what the exhibit is trying to convey. A lot of the interactive artwork shows the connection of humans and the environment we live in. It's super interesting!!
