Everyday Makeup Drawer 16-22 July 2017





I had to wait until you saw my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale haul before I revealed my Everyday Makeup drawer because that's the basis of it this week! In order to swatch, test, and review all of the products (ok, they're almost all lippies!), my drawers are looking pretty empty. I also added in some of my new purchases in general (that I haven't shown you).



Primers & Correctors: Too Faced Hangover Rx 3 in 1 Spray, Smashbox Primer Water, CoverFX Mattifying Primer, Maybelline Master Prime- Anti-Redness, Milk Makeup Blur Stick, Tarte CC Undereye Corrector, L'Oreal Magic Perfecting Base, MAC Painterly Paint Pot, Too Faced Hangover Rx Primer, 3x Hard Candy Color Correctors



Concealers: Tarte Shape Tape x 2, Born this Way- Fairest, Anastasia Beverly Hills- 0.5, NARS Soft Matte-Chantilly



Foundation & Powder: RCMA No Color Powder, MAC BB Powder- Extra Light, MAC Studio Fix- NW15, Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder- Ethereal Light, Givenchy Teint Couture Balm- #2, La Mer The Foundation- 01, Too Faced Born This Way- Snow



Blush, Bronzer, & Highlight: NARS Angel, BareMinerals (from my Boxycharm- let me know if you want my real feelings on Boxycharm. My IG hints at them. I think I get the crap box every month and I'm fed up.)



Eyeshadow: LORAC Mega Pro 2 (I'm challenging myself to see if I can fall for this. I had to have it and it's been sitting in my drawer since I got it a few months ago), Anastasia Beverly Hills single- Fresh, Tarte Tartelette in Bloom (you won't believe how much progress I've made in panning this palette. I think I'll get my 9 of 12 shades totally gone by December 31)



Eyeliner:  I just kept the 3x ABH liners I'm digging, the 3x L'Oreal liquid liners I'm testing (the gray and brown are new releases) and UD Roach as a base. I'm allowing full reign of the drawer.



Mascaras: Urban Decay Subversion Primer, Urban Decay Perversion Mascara, L'Oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise- regular & waterproof (it's almost time for the regular to say adios, sadly)



Lipliners: Know Cosmetics No Bleeding Lips, the Laura Mercier & Bobbi Brown liners from the Nordstrom kits I'm testing, 2x Kiko liners (that I'm also testing)




Lips: All the things from the Nordstrom kits, so I can review for you. That's UD Fuel, another new purchase, for extra credit.


I'm keeping it simple this week, I guess!

The rest of the posts this week might be shorter than normal, as I'm trying to work a 50+ hour work week, commute 3 hours per day, and turn around a post every night so you get my thoughts on all of the new Nordstrom goodies. Please be patient with me!

Everyday Makeup Drawer: 2-8 July 2017

Welcome to this week's Everyday Makeup Drawer!

Spoiler alert: this is incredibly boring if you read last week's post. I really didn't make many changes.
in fact, I could've reused many of last week's photos. I'll readily admit that these drawers are more of a "work day" everyday makeup collection, because I tend to try new products on the weekend (well, not today, July 1, as I write this. I took a no makeup day!)

In terms of lip colors, I left last week's selections on my desk but may alter them based on mood this week.

QBB Note from today, July 3: I'm playing with some fun things as I enjoy a four-day weekend. I hope to get posts prepped through the end of the week today and tomorrow because my job is very crazy these days. I'll be posting my June empties- and making my empties challenge page live- in the next day or so. I've also been hauling some fun things- look for those as bonus posts (I'll always try to pair a haul or a formulaic post like this with a review).

What are you using this week?

Everyday Makeup Drawer: 25 June- 1 July 2017

Originally, I hadn't planned to post this week about my drawer. I missed last week; I have no idea if these are even interesting or useful to any audience. However, I was far more productive in terms of giving myself a buffer, so I had time to write a quick post that will publish in a few hours from the time that I'm dashing this off on Sunday evening. Consider this a continuation of a period of time where there will be so. many. posts.

So, here's a short look at my drawer- and a preview of a few posts coming in the coming weeks (most of which are written! Yay me!).

Everyday Makeup Drawer: 11-17 June 2017

It's funny- I was congratulating myself on having this drawer set up Friday night for next week. Then Saturday happened and the heat wave kicked off. That changed everything. Note the number of creme products that dominate- I'm someone who normally hates creams, but I've got 3 liquid blushes, 2 liquid/creme highlights, and 5 creme/liquid eyeshadows. I've learned over the years that those tend not to melt off my face as easily.

I think we're officially in bronzy glowy eye with bronzy cheeks and coral lips season.

When it's warmer, I go to tried and true items. I've got a foundation and concealer that I'm trying, but that'll be today (Sunday) when I don't have to be gone from my home for hours. I actually tried a new foundation yesterday too- post coming on that.

I also exfoliated my self-tanner away so I'm back to being pale.

I hope the photos are bearable; I decided not to set up studio lights and did a more casual setup.

Action shot of the drawers in action:




For the record, I do Primers, Foundations, Powders, Liners of all sorts, Concealers, Brows, and Mascaras in the Right drawer and everything else in the left. I have some items that just stay in the front part of my left drawer. They're things like white & black lipsticks, a cleanup pen, lip scrub, tape, Glitter Glue, etc. Someday I'll post a collection tour and it'll make more sense.

As always, (t) notes a new item that I'm testing for the blog, (p) are the permanent drawer dwellers.

A quick note on what's coming this week- a quickie review on Kat Von D Lolita Blush/Eyeshadow, the most genius setting spray released in a long time, a Glossybox review, and I'm battling the new Cover Girl and Revlon foundations. If time permits, I'm also working on a review of the Urban Decay Shapeshifter Contour Kit, two mascaras, and that new Milani blush/highlighter.

Everyday Makeup Drawer: 4-10 June 2017

I've been doing some version of an "Everyday Makeup Drawer" since I moved my stash to what has become my beauty room and got set up with two Alex 9-Drawers.
