The Makeup Monologues

I had a lot of empties this month alone, partially aided by a declutter of my collection. However, the only “decluttered” things that I included in this post are some mascaras, as they had gone off and that’s when I consider a mascara to be “empty”. Keep reading to see what I thought of each product, and if I would consider repurchasing or already have! Sephora Collection Pomegranate Cleansing Wipes: I also emptied a pack of the Sephora Collection Rose Cleansing Wipes but I forgot to keep the packaging! I really like these wipes and have already repurchased them in the Yuzu and Coconut scents. These are good ‘standard’ face wipes with a variety of scents to choose from- my favourite so far have been the Rose. They take makeup off fairly well, but I do sometimes find myself needing to go in with a single cotton round and micellar water to get some of the remnants of my brows, mascara, and liquid lipstick. My favourite way to use these is to wo...

I think out of all the things I had missed blogging about, I missed doing my monthly favourites posts t he most. I love looking back and reflecting on what products I was impressed by, loved using, and kept reaching for again and again. So today’s post is going to be about my favourite products from the last two months! December sort of bleeds into January in my memory, so I’ll be talking about my favourites from “the past little while”, not strictly a month back. Hold tight, this is gonna be a long one, folks. The first products I just have to mention are a recent launch by Sephora Collection! I’m talking about their Lipstories lipsticks!

From the second I saw the teaser pics for this launch, I knew I needed to own at least one of these lipsticks, if only for the packaging. I picked up the shade Twolips and ended up falling head over heels for the...

Hello Internet! A lot of things have happened in my life since I last posted, but I won’t get into them here. I’m back to say that I’m reviving this blog, mostly for my own purposes, but because I also have a few projects in mind! Namely I’ll be doing a rotating Project Pan this year, so this is my first official post back! I decided to do a Project Pan because I am starting to get overwhelmed by the amount of stuff that I have. For some reason or another, decluttering alone hasn’t seemed to work- probably the fact that I still have the urge to hold onto a product if I like it, even if I don’t use it. In this Project Pan, I’m focusing on using up mostly deluxe-sized skincare to get through my skincare backlog, and drugstore makeup that I already know that I love, but don’t get enough use out of. MILK Makeup Natural Dry Shampoo : I have very short hair and I shower daily, sometimes twice daily, so I don’t know if I’ll go through this too often. But I’m th...
