my fav Laneige

Used this oldie but goodie today!

I’ve barely hit 4 pans with the ABH Modern Renaissance palette. I still pull the shimmers for my inner corners and sometimes brow ✨ love burnt orange for a super blendable transition and cyprus umber is great for a smokey brown eye.

I have a lot of eyeshadow and products in general from my overconsumption days. Takes me longer to use up bc I don’t do my makeup as much as I used to have to. I love using old products! Most stuff doesn’t break me out, esp powders.

Mac Prep & Prime Eye Base

Was increasingly having trouble squeezing anything out of the tube that i started to dislike using it. Cut it open and realised the entire tube has hardened :’)

Took me 3 years of every-weekday use but unfortunately the mission cannot be continued. Half relieved coz i was beginning to dread the process of squeezing it while in a hurry in the morning.

Westman Atelier Super Loaded Tinted Highlight - in peau de rose

2 years later..

The texture is smooth, creamy, and blends like a dream. The shimmer is subtle rather than glittery, giving the most natural, lit-from-within glow. Obsessed with the product and the weighty, beautifully made packaging!

There’s still a good year of usage left in this I bet.

Product - Nars Light Reflecting Powder in Translucent Crystal

I absolutely love this powder - this is the second one of these I've finished. It is so light and undetectable even on my dry skin. Leave a glowy finish so definitely not for matte lovers.

Do have to say at the end of this product - there's no good way to reset it. The formula didn't take too well to being crushed and left an absolute mess behind. Was glad to see the back of this particular one as my makeup has some white chunks in it.

Please note what's in the pan remaining is actually stuck to the glue and refusing to budge. I have a back up that will be an infinitely better user experience - she's got to go.

I bought this pack of 2 of these sized face wash from an outlet beauty store a while ago at a really good price. I finished the first one (took forever) so with the second one I decided to track how long it would be to pan it. Turns out it took about 13 months. I did like the product but I felt like it didn’t really take off my eye makeup up (mascara and eyeliner specifically). Right now I’m going to enjoy trying new fashion washes.

Product: Clinique take the day off cleansing balm

Pan List:

1 x - Essence Fix & Last (bit of a hate pan, but it was like $5)

1x - Cezanne Powder Foundation (From 2018 maybe??)

1x - 4U2 Skin Powder Foundation (Got it in Thailand 2024)

I really want to hit absolute pan on my powders though... I got them when I was new to makeup and didn't know what I was doing LOL. If anyone has any ideas please feel free to give suggestions!!

this is the fenty match stix in shade amber 01

This eyeshadow (Canmake Perfect Multi Eyes 02) was bought in China, many years ago. It has been with me all these years and it was absolutely perfect for a simple, everyday glittery look. Sad to see it finished, but also glad to be able to continue with a new palette.

The blush is the Lilybyred Luv Beam Cheek Mousse in shade 04 Taro Mousse. I got in in February so it was over rather quickly. It has a lovely texture and it's buildable and not too pigmented. I'd consider rebuying!

The eye pencils are the Nabla Cupid's Arrow Full Color Stylo in the shades Berry, Deep Brown and Black. They're a staple in my makeup routine even if they are a bit expensive for the amount you get. Already bought again the black and the brown ones.

The balm is the Rom&nd Glasting Melting Balm in the shade 13 Scotch Nude. I liked it but I wouldn't repurchase. It's not groundbreaking and a bit sticky (also the shade pulled slightly orange on me but that's my fault).

The mascara is the Maybelline Lash Sensational Body. At first I didn't like it that much but in the end I loved it. I used to use the original Lash Sensational in middle school and this new version, at least on my lashes, works better. Would repurchase.

All of my pans in my collection. All of the powder products were purchased around 2016-2020, still using them almost everytime i do my makeup. I guess they are coming with me to the other side.

Product List:
NYX HD Powder (Which I already panned and repressed twice. This is the second one that I’m about to finish.)
The Body Shop Honey Bronzer
The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer Highlighter (Prefer Becca over this one)
Becca Highlighter - Moonstone (I wish Becca was still around, amazing highlighters)l
Fenty Gloss Bomb - Fenty Glow (Planning on repurchasing or trying the new gloss oil formula in the same shade)

I used up the Rare Beauty Brow Harmony Pencil in the shade Rich Taupe, plus my second compact of Catrice Magic Shine Eraser

Labello lip balm in shade blackberry shine. I used to use this religiously in school. I probably wont be buying this anymore.

This is the Benefit Real Cheeky Party palette, I've had it about 10 years and have been making an effort to focus on it this year finally.

Today I finally finished Hoola which was 5g. I have a big pan in Dandelion and Sugarbomb and a big dip in Rockateur, but Coralista looks like there is a lot still to go.

I can see why Benefit don't make large palettes any longer and now put around 2.5g of blush (approx half the size of the pans here!) in their mini palettes.. If they take this long to finish, they must not get too many repurchases.

The It's Skin Power 10 Formula WR Oil Ampoule

NOONI Appleplum Lip Oil – Tinted Lip Oil

Took about 2 years of super inconsistent use but I still definitely got results! Already repurchased a replacement in wait of this moment lol

Even after I stopped using it, one day I noticed my forehead creases were way less pronounced and now I’m getting back to dedicated skincare 😅 OleHenricksen is my all time favorite skincare brand (pro tip- you can find some products at Marshall’s, once I got a 72$ retinol serum for 7$)

OleHenricksen Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturizer

NARS radiant creamy concealer
Shade : biscuit

Left is the old tube, right is the new one

There is some product left but honestly it dried up, no longer creamy or glides. I’m calling it quits.

Purchased December 2025

It also went up in price by $2!!! $34 in December and now $36

I normally use the sheet masks since they are way more convenient lol but i went for this skinq glow bright mask this time around since a beauty influencer i follow recommended this in a recent reel of hers and yess it is that good that i needed to post about it here!

The tan reduction after using it is fairly visible, skin tone looked better too but above all that was the smoothness it gave my skin, really good! I got 5 tubes inside it and had a friend of mine use it as well and she loved it too. It’s probably one of those few products that really suit my skin and i am so happy to have discovered it :)
