What did I empty this month – not much but it’s something. Also they are all gone so you are getting some google photos.
Empties:
No7 Illuminating night cream $24.00 CAD
Cake beauty body wash $11.99 CAD
Marcelle Hydrating light face lotion $20.99
Saie beauty skin tint $51.00 CAD
The ordinary glucoside foaming cleanser $14.80
Marcelle Xtreme Lasting powder $18.99
Alpen secrets body wash – $4.59 CAD (estimate I got this at giant tiger)
Declutters:
Marcelle 2 in 1 foundation $25.99
Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter $62.00
ELF Halo glow $18.99
The Marcelle is unfortunately expired, as are both the charlotte and ELF. I will say Charlotte was close to being done but I have it since 2019. The ELF just smells downright awful. Marcelle did not used to break me out but does now!
Total: $105.99 CAD
Things I wanted and didn’t buy. I am also doing this almost as a wishlist method/look how much money I saved not impulse shopping and spending it on my credit card. This is also because of boycotts and many of these brands aren’t Palestine safe. Again, if brands like L’Oreal (who own fucking everything) make your shade then I think it is better to buy 1 product than testing out 10 thousands others putting more money into corporations because I know people are still going to engage with these brands, so the key is reducing consumption. My next post is going to be about where to find resources of how to shop was ✨ ethically✨ as you can.
Below I also I wrote what I have in my collection beside each one to really show myself that I don’t need new things:
Revlon skinlights skin tint $24.99 → Milk makeup sunshine skin tint
ELF blush $9.99 → saie dewy blushes and quo liquid blushes
Annabelle Skin Tint $16.99 → Huda Glowish skin tint
Rimmel Lasting Foundation (samantha jane YT collab) $15.99 —> Revlon skinlights foundation
Simihaze bronzer $34 → how to I pick one – NARS Laguna cream
ABH Cream bronzer $47.50 —> again I have the NARS and Saie, and Makeup by Mario lol
ABH Cream blush bubble gum $43.50 —> I am embarrassed to even say the amount of stick blushes I own – nudestix, annabelle,
Huda liquid comfort matte in Trophy wife $31 → while I don’t have a ton of matte lipsticks, I do have a lot of pink ones. Literally my Glossier lipstick in fuzz, my colourpop lip stains, my pink lip balms, my Merit lipsticks
Cheekbone beauty lipstick in Keyah $34 → again … take my pic. I have a Merit one and a Charlotte one that would fit the bill.
Cheekbone lipgloss in sweetgrass $28 —> I do love Cheekbone and once upon a time had this gloss, but I have since accumulated many. I am focusing on using up my Maybelline lifer glosses, my charlotte collagen bath and my Kaja honey drip gloss.
Ilia face milk $79.00 → like I literally don’t need it.
L’Occitane immortelle reset overnight oil in serum $88 → I am not going to lie – when I am in the market for a new serum this is on the list. Until then it stays in the love list.
The inky list ceramide repairing and plumping moisturizer $27 →I forgot that Iput this on my loves list, and actually it seems like a good option for when I’m done with my skincare. For now it says on the list until we are fully out of other moisturizers I’ve been hoarding.
Laura Mercier Flawless weightless foundation $71.00 → we all saw the video. Again. I have like 17 foundations (I KNOW) I don’t need this one. It can stay on the wishlist.
Total: 550.96
