Hello there
lovelies.
Ok so it looks
like I like to keep old empty used makeup, now I know I’m not the only one so
own up. Remember any of these products?….
First up we have
Benefits Dandelion, which I’m so glad hasn’t fallen victim to discontinuation. This
has been around for years, and is still going strong (thankyou Benefit). I’ve
been using this for years, I’m sure I used it on my wedding day almost 10 years
ago (not the actual one pictured, my makeup doesn’t last that long). I love the pink pop of colour that it brings to my
cheeks whilst remaining quite sheer, probably my most favourite Benefit product
(I must like it to have been using it for around 10 years!).
Then there’s
Benefits Thrrrob, Oh I loved this but I’m sure it’s been discontinued now, as I
haven’t seen it around for a while. I wish they still did this and the closest
I’ve found to the same kind of pink is a blush that I’m currently using which
is The Body Shops blush in the shade bubblegum, although it’s quite a close
colour match it doesn’t have the same staying power that Benefit does. I like
quite pink cheeks in winter or summer, in winter it looks like you’ve been
bitten by the cold and in summer gives a flush of girly pinkness to the cheeks.
Just a shame this lovely powder is no longer available (I think, please correct
me if I’m wrong).
Georgia, another
lovely powder box of joy from Benefit that smelt of peaches, again discontinued
years ago. I used to use a light dusting of this all over my face to give a
nice peachy glow.
The Urban Decay
palettes, I very rarely use these nowadays but can’t bring myself to get rid of
them as you never know when you might need a bright pink eyeshadow like
fishnet. The purple palette I think is called the chain mail palette, you get a
nice selection of colours in there and because of the super pigmentation of
Urban Decay eyeshadows a little goes a long way, hence why it looks hardly
used. This Palette is no longer available, I’ve had this for absolute years.
The wooden Urban Decay palette I think is called the sustainable bamboo palette
but really can’t remember. This has more glittery shades in there, better for
evening looks. I particularly liked the shade uzi to put over the top of others
for a bit of sparkle. Although you do get quite a bit of fall out from these
shadows and end up with glitter everywhere. Now I thought this had been
discontinued but when I was walking past my local Urban Decay counter in
January I’m sure I spied the same packaging but didn’t have time to stop and
look at what it was so I can’t be sure it was that same palette, I may need to
investigate further.

So there you
have it, old makeup and empty boxes that for some reason I insist on keeping
hold of.
What products
have you been using for years? What old makeup have you still got that you
really should get rid of?
