Makeup Basket ~ 10 by 10 & 5 by 10 ~ FINALE & the next INTRO

Here is my take on the weekly makeup basket for now, because I feel pretty committed to using 10 makeup items and 5 masks in a short period of time. I have already given away a couple items and trashed one old one. Eventually I would like to get down to just things I love.

Thanks for watching!

Weekly Makeup Basket & What Did I Bring to Florida ~ April 23-29, 2017

Welcome back to my channel. This recording was interrupted quite a bit with puppy care, hopefully is isn’t too choppy. Anyway, here is my review of the items I brought to Florida, along with a new weekly makeup basket.  Hopefully I’ll be back again soon with the next weekly makeup basket. It’s the only way everything I have will get some use.  Enjoy  J

Makeup Basket ~ REWIND #1 ~ August 7, 2016

I decided to change up my weekly makeup basket from looking forward, to looking back – rewind. I have so much makeup it’s sometimes overwhelming. I think that reviewing what I’ve used at the end of each week will make it much easier for me to use all of my makeup. So each week I’ll use makeup, put it in my basket, then review what I’ve used at the end of the week.


Makeup I started with – items not cruelty free are marked with *:

Smashbox Photo Finish Oil Free Primer (gel formula)
MicaBeauty eye primer
Makeup Forever HD Powder*
Milani Constellation eye liner gel
MicaBeauty Gel eye liner in black
Eyeko London Skinny Liquid Eyeliner in Black
Elizabeth Arden eye pencil in smoky black*
L’Oreal blush and highlighter duo*
ELF mascara primer
ELF waterproof mascara top coat
Urban Decay Perversion mascara
Elizabeth Arden black mascara*
Rimmel Wonder Lash mascara w argan oil*
MaxFactor Lipstick in 1850 Bronze Soleil*
Ulta Chubbie Stick Lipstick in Sugar & Spice
Elizabeth Arden Lipstick in Plum Pearl*
Elizabeth Arden Lipstick in Ultraviolet*



Follow me:


Beauty boxes I subscribe to:

Ipsy - the perfect starter bag at $10 a month
Boxycharm - my all time favorite at $21 a month for 4-5 full size items
Lip Monthly - 3 lip products and 1 luxury thing for $12 a month
GoodBeing Box - love this box!  4-5 items, some full size for $21 a month
Glossybox - $21 month for up to $100 worth of beauty products, but not always that much

Squix cleaning product box - you can get your favorites and/or cruelty free, natural, non-toxic cleaning products (my favorite); I like that you can put this subscription on hold until you need more cleaners
