As I’m laying out all my lip stuff in preparation for photography in today’s post, The kid asks me, “What’s the function of all these pictures?”
“They’re to show my whole collection on the blog.” Jeg svarer.
“So it’s like… makeup porn?” han spørger.
“JEP! Du har det!”

My lip stock is most likely the least interesting of all of my stashes – the majority of my lip products can in shape into one frame:

I’m just not that into lipsticks. I feel strong colours don’t fit my face. I’m likewise not into matte structures or shimmer, or excessively glossy completes – so it leaves me with a relatively narrow band of comfort zone, as you’ll see in my stash. as well as I only own 5 MAC lipsticks! (of which 3 are retired)  It’s fairly little by comparison to my eye shadow stock (600+) or nail polish stock (400+)   That said, I have amassed a great deal of lip balms as well as butter butters.

I keep the bulk of my lipsticks inside a big drawer (beneath my blushes as well as eye shadows – the lipsticks understand where they stand with me!)

I likewise have a few acrylic cubes where I store my a lot more often utilized tinted lip balms:

Onto the lip stash:

MAC lippies – I only utilize the 2 on the far ideal (L to R: Twig, Peachstock, adorable Ster, Cosmo as well as Mystical).

The 3 C.O. Bigelow tubes on the left are my HG night time lip balms!

That owl is a lip balm! A gift from a friend.

This is the EOS in their natural habitat – I published about them on Easter.  That apple one is the bath & Body Works’ version of EOS – it’s not extremely good.

I’d state at least a quarter of my lip stock is slated to be tossed out due either to expiry or they’re just not colours I would ever wear (I don’t have a great reason for why I even gotten them to begin with!)  I’ve set aside a lot of these to be featured in a future “purge” post.  I’m likewise embarrassed to state that yes, a few of those lipsticks are undoubtedly unused as well as untried.  I failed to remember about them!  If you have any type of concerns about any type of of the products pictured, feel complimentary to ask in the comments.

Are you a lipstick fiend? What formulas / shades might you suggest to me?

Lip product Purge of 2016For somebody who’s a self-professed NON-lipstick junkie… I seem to own a great deal of lip products.  And all of us understand that lipsticks don’t have a long lifespan – really, one must be tossing lip products about 18 months after opening.  I’m guilty of keeping mine for MUCH longer than 18 months!…

Last year I was Christmas shopping for the kid at Bed bath and beyond and came across this washcloth, called the wonder Cloth.  After reading the claims on the box, and doing a quick search for reviews online on my phone, curiosity got the better of me and I shelled out $14 for it.

According to the wonder cloth official website, here are the claims:
• All natural make up remover Cloth
• Hypo-Allergenic & Dermatologist Tested
• helps to exfoliate skin
• Removes all make up swiftly and easily with just water.
• Rinses clean with water, no stains remain on the cloth!
• maker washable
• Re-usable – economical – use wonder cloth over and over
• Bleach-safe cloth lasts twice as long as a standard washcloth

The idea is that you can use just this cloth and no cleansers to remove all traces of makeup. I was ecstatic by the prospect of this! So lots of possibilities: travel without having to pack little tiny bottles of cleansers, going camping and just washing my face by a babbling brook (not that I’ve been camping in years), and no a lot more shelling out money for cleansers ever igen!

Virgin Wonder Cloth.
The new unused cloth is incredibly soft and silky, nearly like that artificial fur baby blanket material.  It is made of rayon, which is essentially reconstituted, highly processed, wood pulp.

Feeling incredibly excited, I used this for a week straight, and my enthusiasm waned as the days (actually evenings – I used this solely at night to remove my makeup) went on.  I did not take pleasure in using the wonder Cloth at all – it was NOT cleaning my face thoroughly as claimed. After my initial washing with the wonder cloth (just the cloth plus H2O, as instructed), my eye makeup and my foundation were not completely removed – I would say the cloth maybe removed about 50% of the face makeup.  This was evident when I used my normal second step cleansing with micellar water. I had to use two and often THREE cotton pads to fully cleanse my face, instead of the normal one.

At the end of the week.
In addition, the Wonder Cloth itself got progressively dingier looking by the day, and the silky soft quality diminished after every wash / air dry cycle. If you’ve ever owned rayon clothing, you will know what I indicate – when rayon gets wet, it takes on a completely different hand-feel than its regular state – nearly a dry crunchy feel.  The packaging claims that the fibres are meant to rinse clean with water – liar! I rinsed as thoroughly as possible and it did not get clean looking. They also didn’t account for the edges of the cloth where the overlock thread was used – that part of the cloth retained a lot of stains as I used the cloth.

After the week was over, I threw the cloth into the wash inside a laundry mesh bag and it did wash up cleanly, and the softness of the unused cloth did return, but it wasn’t as silky. However, it’s not functional to wash the wonder cloth nightly after each use.

Fordele:
• soft, non-abrasive texture
• easy to launder

Ulemper:
• does not live up the its lots of claims
• dyrt

Stash worthiness: 2/10

Bottom line: wonder Cloth is not so wonderful.  Save your money and just use a regular wash cloth or a Konjac sponge with a proper facial cleanser instead. has any individual else tried this? Now I’m not sure what to use my Wonder cloth for instead now – thoughts?

Salux appeal skin clothWhen someone touches my arm in passing and blurts out, “omg your SKIN, it’s SO soft!” I’m a bit embarrassed and shocked – I mean, I really have no frame of reference to the degree of skin softness on other people.
