little white truths

So I finished seven products this month and I still have eight left, meaning I can introduce two more. Let's have a quick look at each item in turn.

First up, my Australis whitening drops. I've been using these perhaps four or five times a week and I don't need much each time so they'll take me a while to get through. You can see that I don't have much left, however, and I expect them to be gone within two months.

Next, my NYX lip gloss in Sugar Plum. Note that I added some pink gloss to this to make it warmer (I was mixing those two shades daily anyway, so I wanted to save myself a step), meaning that my marker hasn't moved this month and I still have around the same amount left as I did before. Nevertheless I expect it to be gone soon: I get through glosses quickly.

Next, my Hourglass skin tint in Warm Ivory. I'm not trying to rush through this because I do enjoy it and I want it to last, but it's my least favourite foundation of the ones I own so I would rather pan this than anything else. You'll see that progress is slow and it looks like the tube may even last 'till the end of the year. We'll see.

My Laura Mercier hydrating primer is next, and you'll see that I've made some decent progress over the past month. I use it every day and I'm looking forward to finishing it (hopefully before winter really sets in), for the simple reason that it's not very hydrating and I need something with more punch. If I'm lucky I'll finish it this month, although I suspect I have two months to go.

Above is my Natio mask. I'm not enjoying this product so I think it's time to start using it not only on my face, but also on my whole body. This will help me get through it quickly and will open things up so I can start using masks I prefer. I don't want to use masks that do nothing for me because it's a waste of time, but I also don't want to see the product itself go to waste so using it on the body is my best option. It'll be gone by next update.

Next, my Andalou Naturals mask. Here's how it looked three weeks ago:

I've actually used more of this product than I thought I had, and I expect to get through it this month. As with the Natio mask above, I may end up using it on the body in order to finish it - it doesn't do anything for me and it stings my face when applied, so it's not one I want to have in my collection for too long.

My Hourglass blush in Dim Light, as it was last month:

It's finally starting to look more flat and I hope you can see that in the photos - it's been a long road and we're nowhere near the end yet, but it does make me happy to see that there's been some movement.

I absolutely love this blush and I do plan to buy it again down the road, it's just that I've had mine for close to five years now so I want to get through it before it loses any of its brilliance. Getting there slowly.
