Shopping My Stash #1- Makeup

Howdy partners! 
I love reading these types of posts on other people's blogs- especially the Sunday Girl's. 
ShadesOfKassie also does a 'Weekly Makeup Basket' video, which is a similar idea, and great to watch. 
As I am on a spending ban, I thought it would be fun to do this type of post, as it means I can focus on particular products I have, and try to use them up. Not only will this encourage me to switch up my skincare and makeup, it will also (hopefully!) mean I'll get through some products, so that I don't have such a ridiculous amount of stuff that I don't use!
Anyway, rant over...
I will be trying to use- MAC Melba blush, which is such a good, easy to wear every day shade that I am slightly ashamed to say I find a bit boring...
Topshop cream Blush in Flush, which is a lovely colour but I don't know how to wear it! Anyone have any tips on application?

Then Revlon quad in Neutral Khakis, which I have forgotten about since I got my MUA Heaven and Earth Palette.
Lastly Ben Nye LSP 2 Fashion Lip Colour Palette which is full of creamy, pigmented, beautiful lip shades that I'd forgotten I owned!

So, I will be trying to use these a bit more :) I've also got some skincare/bath stuff that I'm trying to use more of, but I though I'd split up the posts so that they weren't too long :)

Anyone else do these types of posts? Feel free to link me :) 
Are we all guilty of having far too many products, and forgetting what we own, or is it just me?!
Thanks for reading! 

P.S- I did a video on this,  with some more bath/skincare shiz which you can find here :)

  1. That palette of lip colours looks perfect! Would love to see a post with swatches :-) also- try the RT stippling brush for the topshop blusher - can build up colour how you like it then xxx

  5. I love the look of the lip palette! I have some of the topshop cream blushes and i find them quite hard to apply - the best way ive found so far is just using my stippling brush over a moisturing foundation and i build it up that way :) xx
