The Make up inventory of 2020

Hi lovelies,

I was written to update on my makeup for you in January. So my plan for the year in terms of make up:

One fresh beauty products per month! Rather try to use up and enjoy my current items and panning them, specially my eyeshadows.

Firstly let’s see my makeup box and count:

I would not say that I have an enormous collection of makeup like in the lot of the declutter videos on YouTube, but I still feel a bit overwhelming of them so I will try to desize my collection in 2020 and only add 12 new items and of course saving some money.

I own:

• 12 lipsticks,
• 7 eyeshadow palettes,
• 4 highlighters,
• 3 foundations,
• 3 blushes,
• 3 mascaras,
• 3 bronzers,
• 3 eyeliners,
• 3 lipliners,
• 3 concealers
• 2 faceprimers,
• 2 setting powders,
• 2 lip oils,
• 1 face palette,
• 1 lash glue,
• 1 fake lash,
• 1 lightening drop,
• 1 single eye pigment,
• 1 eyeshadow primer,
• 1 lipprimer

So in total of 60 items… so my goal is to downsize it to 40 by mainly using up the current items I have. Also my other aim it to finally reach the total cruelty free make up inventory  by the end of the year

i

2 items are missing: my Lanolip oil and a Becca undereye corrector- I think I left them at work …

I just have to do a bit of decluttering now too, which would be:

The E.l.f. Concealer, which is broken so it is a bit too dry now + the color is not a match for me (fair is too dark), my everyday Trend it up mascara is just too old to use, finally my friend came to pick up my old MAC products, which I was gifted for her (2 palettes and a lipstick). (55)

I am on the way to panning this month:

Bobbi Brown bronzer, Nars Orgasm blush, The Balm: Mary Louminizer and using up my Chanel setting powder, The Body Shop Tint Nude BB, Trend it up Lip Oil, Estee Lauder Coral an MAC mini Chili lipstick. Of course I try to use only one eyeshadow in this month, which is my Tarte Tartelette in Bloomson palette.

So I can only buy 12 pieces of make up, so what would be if I would just buy them now: (I try to be realistic as I would need some replacement during the year for sure)

1. It Cosmetics CC (replacement)
2. Urban Decay Perversion mascara in mini (replacement)
3. RMS beauty: Eye Polish
4. Lisa Eldridge: Velvet Ribbon lipstick
5. Fenty Beauty: Gloss Bomb
6. Fenty Beauty: Sun Starlk’r Instant Warmth Bronzer
7. Too Faced: Better Than Sex Waterproof mini mascara
8. Huda Beauty Mercury Retrograde palette
9. Lilah B.: Divine Duo- Lips and Cheeks
10. Charlotte Tilbury brown eyeliner
11. Charlotte Tilbury lip liner
12. Hourglass: Veil Mineral Primer

OMG it is such a huge wishlist, however it can be changed throught out the year.

 

Luxury Christmas Gift ideas

Hi lovelies,

So Christmas is all arround let’s just into the gift ideas. If you have miss my wishlist read it first here.

Now I will list the most expensive ones, which I would say they all worst the money and investment in this season or they are timeless classics. There are only the things, which I would also invest in and keep or gift it to my family.

Céline sunglasses: my absolute favourite is Audrey, which is discontinued, but you can still buy them second hand, but also the new bit more sqaured models are amazing.

YSL Cardholder: normally I would not say to buy small luxury goods but if you are on a lower budget these look one of the best of any cardholders because of their pretty logo.

Lady Dior Bag: comes in 4 sizes, one of the most iconic bag, so I do not think I have to explain… of course you can buy it in vintage too.

Gucci Dionysus: there are many variation, probabaly the canvas is the most common but look it in green! Is not that stunning? (bit of  Versace style)

Burberry: The classis Check Cashmere scarf in Archive beige- very soft and unisex.

Burberry trench coat

Chanel Boy bag

Chanel pump or balerinas

Alexander McQueen Leather Show Sneaker: all upper class teenager’s dream shoe:

Omega Seamaster 1948 or Driver 300m watches were always a big dream to any gentlemen, of course you can choose from other Swiss Brands…

Acne Studios: Jensen Leather ankle boots- this Chelsea similar bootie is a must have

Tailoring and Handmade shoes: always a real luxury to be fitted. If you live in Russia than furs too.

Dyson hairdyer

JBL Sound bar

Apple devices

Niche parfumes and beauty

D in the name is Debrecen, which is the 2nd biggest town i the country, located at the Great Plain. They still a natural plant-based and owns 9 patent.

Geek&Gorgeous:

Brand belongs to Helia-D in a collaboration of a Hungarian blogger, they made clinical-clean exfoliating products. I use the CALM DOWN version, which is for normal/combination for glowing skin, it is 4% PHA + BHA Liquid. It is even better than Paula’s Choice 2% BHA liquid (have  not tried The Ordinary yet), it is so gentle, but refine and calm the skin and the packaging is so handy and Gorgeous. Further more with every purchase they take  1 EUR to improve Hospital equipments with watsi.org. Cruelty free.
