FOTD- Shopping My Stash

Hello! 
Thought I'd do a quick FOTD- this was the makeup I wore the other day to meet a friend in town, browse round some shops and have a catch up :)
 I look totally miserable in the last one, but it was the only one I managed to take that actually showed my eyeshadow! I used a few things that were in my 'Shopping my Stash' post, and I've really been enjoying them, especially the Revlon eyeshadows.

Eyes:
Revlon Colorstay quad in Neutral Khakis
Collection 2000 Extreme 24 hour felt tip liner
Benefit They're Real!  & Bourjois Coup de Theatre

Face:
MAC Studio Sculpt NC15
Collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer 01 
MAC Melba

Lips:
Ben Nye LSP 2 Fashion Lip Colour Palette - Shy apricot

So that was my face!  A bit more effort than I usually make for the daytime, makeup-wise, but I just had the urge to pile on the makeup that day :) 
Thanks for reading!

P.S I took one of the earrings out after these pictures, and wore a plain stud in the other ear, not sure I can pull off wearing both of them!
P.P.S Please ignore my eyebrows! I am growing them out :)

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 :)
