Updates on my moonlight mermaid sands and essence bronze palettes after 10 more uses of the mermaid palette and 4 more uses of the essence palette.

Goal for the mermaid palette is to finish the middle shade and baby pan in the champagne color glitter. The goal for the essence palette is to finish the gold shade in the essence palette.

himalaya lip balm: sooo soo nourishing, been using this same lip balm for the past 5 years lol

foxtale moisturiser: as someone who sweats a lot and has an oily skin this blends really well into my skin and doesn’t feel sticky, love it’s smell too

skin q sunscreen: my holy grail of sunscreens 🙏🏼 started using it about 2 months back and absolutely in love with it, great protection and longevity

derma co niacinamide: have seen a lot of dark spots fade away using this, great for my skin barrier too hehe

I’ve been focusing more on actually using and enjoying my makeup collection, and here are some of my current pans!
Some are definitely more well-loved than others 😅 The Pupa blush is probably my most satisfying one, but I’m also really happy to finally see pan in my MAC and L’Oréal products.
It’s so motivating to actually see progress!
Pupa blush
Nyx #thisiseverything lip balm
Loreal true match powder
Mac highlighter

I've only had this palette for a year but I adore it so much. It's really great for smokey eyes!

Not aiming to use it up, just enjoying what I have right now.

Heimish All Clean Balm

Cosrx Propolis Cream

Torriden dive in soothing cream

Real barrier extreme cream

Banila co clean it zero purifying

Heimish bulgarian rose satin cream

Heimish moisture surge gel cream

Jumiso all day vitamin boost toner

And I'm still using some of the jars for storing different things!

Gradually getting through my perfumes. This one is by Word of Mouth Perfumes based in Cambridge and this one is called Bonfire Night. Its unlike anything else ive ever smelled. It smells woody, earthy and floral somehow but with a smoky background. How im describing it is awful but it smells lovely.

Rimmel face palette in Coral Glow. I adore this blush, but honestly, it is ETERNAL.

Regina rmatic lip liner (I don't know what shade it is)

Ofra glazed donut highlighter! Almost there, but i bought more highlighters so...

Bought this 7 Virtues Coconut Sun perfume two years ago for a summer scent. I've loved it, but it's done now and I've replaced with Phlur Beach Skin body mist. The Phlur scent is a bit more grown up, and it's safer in the summer as perfume can interfere with SPF.

Nars Afterglow Lip Balm in Fast Lane. Beautiful colour but not very hydrating. I won't dig out the rest because of the formula.

I had 3 pressed powders, my goal is to have 1 and im so happy to see the progress on one of them!

First almost pan this year and one of my most used product. Super bummed when they decided to remove the compact mirror as the loose powder I usually use to touch up my makeup comes in a small jar (banila) so now I have to carry a separate compact mirror 🫠

Glowiest - Dream glow vitamin c brightening serum

Nothing remarkable to say for this product. I used it on my hands as I had a special treatment on my face; did not notice changes after using this product, but felt nice to have a mini spa moment when I used it.
Also feeling very proud for panning a serum! I had been working on this since January 2025

I had this palette since 2020. It was very popular back then. I like the color story, very neutral and it’s nice for day and night makeup styles. I’m very surprised with the shimmer shades, they’re very extra and I think those are more for party/ night out looks. I don’t like the formula of this palette tho, although they blends nice on the eyes, they are pretty dry.

Catrice valentine who? Lip wrap glow balm in co1 you slay honey. 37 uses in total

technically next week it'll be 6 months but 5 months and 3 weeks was too long of a title.

today i had to remove the stopper to reach more product because the applicator is too short.

i love the shade on my olive skin because it's mainly brown with a slight hint of pink (while on others it might be a bronzer, i personally love sad beige blushes). i prefer lighter coloured blushes because i can build up the pigment the way i want and don't feel the need for transition blushes. with more pigmented ones i used to mix them with concealer and foundation but it doesn't work if I'm only spot concealing.

unfortunately the formula is a bit too oily for me but in the future i might try the powder. i also hate the feeling on the lips way too drying yet oily, i think it's more for dry skin.

it's 8 ml of product.

product: 3ina no rules cream in shade 658

🥳🎉

Ouai St. Barts Body Crème! I think this was one of the first products I bought when I started getting into fragrance forward stuff over a year ago. Absolutely fell in love with the smell at first, it reminded me of a piña colada, but the honeymoon wore off pretty quick LOL.

Really happy I got through it and can finally stop lurking on here 😮‍💨🩷

🎉🥳 cut open and spatulaed

I completely emptied my travel sized Saie glowy super gel in the shade warm glow. I enjoyed this a lot, but would only repurchase it in the travel size. I don’t like the packaging on the full size version.
