2nd Quarter Stash Shop Finale 2023

For a stash shop and not a project pan, the second quarter was very successful as I did manage to finish 5 items.

Here’s where I started:

And now that I have finished:

A small note-I forgot to take a photo of the Mario Badescu spray-but it had consistent progress all the way through and I have about a third of the bottle left to finish.

I finished the Becca backlight priming filter, the CYO foundation, the eyebrow pencil, and the mascara in this round. In the last round I had finished the charlotte tilbury gloss.

Now on to weights:

  • Natasha Denona Bloom palette-despite wearing this almost daily there was no weight change. It’s a very pigmented palette so I think you really get a lot of bang for your buck. I can’t really see any noticeable dips or changes in the pans either.
  • Milani eyeshadow primer-I used 2 grams of this product so that seems pretty fair over 3 months.
  • Ciate London Powder-46 grams to 39 grams, again pretty good progress and within line of what one would expect I think.
  • Bronzer-Again, this did not show any difference in weight even though I used this exclusively.
  • Nars creamy concealer-1 gram used. I have determined that I really like this concealer and I am glad I have it.

As for the rest-while I used the eyebrow gel, and it’s just a tiny sample size, it’s not used up. My melt sample sized lipstick is almost done, and I will complete it by the year’s end. And I think I sharpened the eyeliner twice during the 3 months but I also didn’t wear it all that often, it’s kind of smudgy and likes to bleed so it was slow going with it.

All in all a very successful stash shop round that I really enjoyed. With the bonus of being rather productive for finishing things!

    • I’ve only used my wands a few times. And, unfortunately, they don’t pair well with the current foundation so I probably won’t wear them a lot this quarter either. I like that I got them as a duo in a small size at christmastime because I probably would never go through all of them. BUT-I think just choosing one blush toned one would be best, as they are shimmery enough to not need a highlighter. So I am never using both together at once.

  1. I am so into shimmery blushes right now too and creams. I’m loving all of my cream products in this heat. Honestly tho, I haven’t been wearing much makeup this week because it’s been in the 80s. The creams just melt into the skin and are so easy to set when it gets hot like this.
