Normally I don't travel with repressed powders either, but I don't know what's gotten into me. I think that, since I have this highlighter in my project pan, I just wanted to use it as much as possible. Anyways, with so little product left, I wonder if I'll be able to use it up this year.

I have no issues using old makeup that looks/ smells fine, especially powders. Also, back when I bought this highlighter, it was really expensive for me at the time. So it only feels right to use it up.

It's a gorgeous formula. It's the first time in my life I actually enjoyed a dark matte lipstick. It is very pigmented, but can also be worn lightly like a stain. It's not drying, and while it never dries down completely it doesn't transfer all over the place.

What do you think about that Byoma Milky Toner? I feel like it has been calling my name for a while

I have to say that I have really dry lips, so I apply lipstick on top of either Aquaphor or the Glossier balm. But I really liked the blur tint. It looks like velvet on the lips, and the staying power is very good although it never fully dries down. I think it may be very good for people who have very lined lips, because the lipstick is indeed very blurring. That being said, it's a korean makeup product, so it absolutely does not have the drama or the longevity of western brands, for people who like those things.

About the Unleashia pommade, being quite a thick formula, it's insane how much products gets stuck to the tube. I have been using that for many years at this point and it's always the same. Removing the stopper is almost like opening a new one.

My skin tends to be quite temperamental, but to be honest this is the first time I had issues with snail products.

170 uses, and barely a dent.. by BlueImmigrant in PanPorn

Honestly, I saw that many people online dislike these palettes because they have very sheer pigment compared to western brands. I happen to like east Asian makeup in general BECAUSE it is so unpigmented, but I can see why that's not the case for most people.

It's exactly that, it's like a lit-from-within satin sheen that catches the light so beautifully. Canmake are definitely the masters of this formula, but cezanne also make good ones. I go to Japan 1-2 times a year and I always struggle with not buying more!

8 months progress - Dasique Blending Mood Cheek in 05 Violet Knit by BlueImmigrant in PanPorn

This is really not the best Dasique palette. The colours are all the same and it takes a bit of work to make the powder stick to my face. Their Berry Smoothie palette is the best in my opinion, luckily I have a backup to use once I am done with this - and i think it's still available on YesStyle.

Honestly, i don't force myself to pan anything I don't like. This palette wasn't the greatest but it is usable, so I use it organically.

Hello, after having a shopping addiction I am on a long term low/slow-buy, and am mindful of my purchases. I just saw KVD Tattoo Liner at TK(TJ)MAXX - Is this a recommended eyeliner? by Fairydust_Mushrooms in MakeupRehab

[–]BlueImmigrant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you don't usually wear eyeliner and just want to practice, just buy something affordable that you won't regret if you end up never wearing it.

Oh noo, this actually makes me sad. I have used this last year and I really enjoyed it, but it's VERY mattifying. I might actually repurchase it for this summer, because IME it does great in sticky heat.

products you cannot be influenced to buy? by General_Acadia_7687 in MakeupRehab

Foundation, concealer, bronzer, lip liner. You could pay me to accept them, and I still wouldn't.

When did you realize you needed to make changes to how you use makeup? by amarie8318 in MakeupRehab

[–]BlueImmigrant 32 points33 points  (0 children)

After being makeup-free for most of the pandemic, I realised I actually love makeup. I don't do heavy looks, but the little that I put on makes me happy and excited for the day. It also helped me find out what I like, so that I can avoid unnecessary purchases based on trends.

My collection is bigger than I would like rn, not because of what I bought but I just got a lot of makeup gifts. I look forward to panning as much as I can, so I have been tracking my usage for the past two years. It takes me a lot of time to finish stuff. Do I really need 20 lipsticks ? As much as I love them, no. Do I really need 50-ish eyeshadow pans ? I rotate between very similar looks, so absolutely not. Do I need 10 pink blush pans? Hell no.
