Using up products — how are you coming with this?

I’m happy to report I’ve used up a couple of partial eye creams, by putting them next to the sink. When I remove my eye makeup, I immediately put some on, then wash my face in the shower avoiding my eyes.

I’ve also used up a couple of smaller sample products and the Avon product I just blogged about.

And I’m hopeful to find a new home for my lip pencils — you know who you are!

What a great feeling to divest myself!

I’m going to work on using up the Chanel foundation that I’ve loved and is now discontinued. I have very little left, but I save it for special occasions. There is bound to be something better out there, and so far it is not going to be Chanel. Their colors are much too yellow for me, even with their new formulations. The SA was ’surprised’ how yellow it turned on me. Well, it was yellow to begin with. She said, you must have skin that turns it yellow. My skin is not yellow; it is about as neutral as you can get. I would guess if your skin is red, the yellow would neutralize it and your skin would look beige. But with my skin being very light, it simply looks yellow in the foundation. Too bad, because I really loved the one that is discontinued and would have continued to buy it — or at least bought one to stockpile if I’d known it was going out.

How about you? Have you finished off anything?

I have almost finished up all of my clear ultra resolution finishing powder from Aromaleigh. I’ve finished up lip glosses, and a few eye shadow highlighter colors that were used daily.

Good for you! I will have to work harder to keep up!
