Stream Lining Makeup Part 8 #Foundations & #BBCreams

You 

From natural BB creams to high coverage foundations I had it all, however, one person does not need this many. An old favorite is the #GiorgioArmani #LuminousSilkFoundation but it's time to trash it. No time to waste on hanging on to foundation bottles that are basically empty and attempt to scrape every millimeter out (does anyone else do that?) Another one leaving my collection is the #Mac #ProLongWearFoundation (but I'll save this to #BackToMac it!)

Both the #Tarte #BBTintedMoisturizer and the #AmazonianClayFullCoverage were never reached for - will donate to friends and family it is better suited for. Narrowed down the keep pile to one stick foundation (#Makeupforever #HD),  a full coverage foundation #CoverFX #NaturalFinish #OilFreeFoundation, and natural #BareMinerals #ComplexionRescue #TintedHydratingGelCream.

Done!

Hope you enjoyed reading! Let me know what you have decluttered today and what else you would like to see more of on my blog!

Stream Lining Makeup Part 7 - #Mascaras

#DeclutterMode

FYI-Mascara expires after 3 months! It's easy to find yourselves collecting so many mascaras or primers because they usually tend to try up or get lost in your makeup bag. But, take care of your eye health and avoid infection by tossing these bad boys away once they dry up. Here's a tip for those who don't use mascara on a regular basis - get sample sizes of mascara with your #Sephora #points or check out a beauty counter in your local department store. I've tried so many mascaras from #Dior to #Benefit to #Clinique to #Smashbox to #Kiko but at the end of the day I held onto only three (which were my most recently purchased too) #Waterproof Kiko, #DiorShowPumpNVolume, and #DiorPrimer. Got all bases covered.

What have you decluttered today? 

Let me know in the comments down below.

Forgive Me

Dear World,

Every year we come to a point where we need to each individually evaluate ourselves. Conscious human beings like to do so in order to move forward in life, to learn from their mistakes and grow from them. After all, life experience is the greatest teacher. 

At this time, I personally like to reflect on my previous year. What was rewarding? What was disappointing? A part of moving forward and growing includes forgiveness. Do you forgive that co-worker who acted obnoxiously towards you? Or, more importantly do you forgive yourself for making not such a wise decision? 

In order to forgive we must see others or ourselves for their/our strengths and learn to accept them with all their flaws. It's time to elevate others and ourselves and understand that we have not been appointed as judges of a high court, only He has, so let's leave the job to the One it belongs too. Just be the best version yourself and everything else will fall into line. 

Keep smiling,

Summer 2017 #Favorites

This season my motto was "be comfortable." From #Fashion to #Beauty and everything in between my style was #easybreezy yet still #polished. 

1. I was obsessed with wearing my Henri Bendel #jetsetter bag! Why? Because it is so functional yet chic at the same time. You could wear it as a #tophandle, #crossbody / #messenger, or #backpack.
2. #MarcJacobs #Enamored lipgloss in shade #SugarSugar. Glides on easy and stays on!
3. #Caudalie #BeautyElixir sets makeup beautifully with a quick spritz.
4. #DiorShow #PumpNVolume #mascara, because no one has time for falsies!
5. #Milan #MilanoMarittima where  carefree is defined, loved #shopping by the #Duomo and riding my bike by the seaside with the wind blowing in my hair.
6. #Denim jackets - so easy to throw on. 
7. #BareMinerals #ComplexionRescue the best BB cream of all time. Enough said. 

Stream Lining Makeup - Part 6 #Concealers #UnderEyeBrighteners

#DeclutterMode

Ok, so this next declutter wasn't too bad. I managed to eliminate 50% off what I had. With two under eye brighteners I knew I preferred the #Becca over the #Smashbox. My favorite concealer of all time is the #Nars #RadianceCreamyConcealer but it was finished! No need to hang on to packaging! I also love the #BareMinerals #BareSkinCompleteCoverageSerumConcealer (wow that's a long name!) I'm also almost finished with my #UrbanDecay #NakedSkinConcealer - will hang on to it until it's finished. Saying goodbye to a well-loved #Mac #SelectCoverUp, and an Urban Decay 24/7 #ConcealerPencil. I've heard amazing things about the Tarte #ShapeTape and will bust it open as soon as possible!

Time to donate to friends/family! You can view items from my previous declutters on my Poshmark (user name is @KimberlyM318).

Stream Lining Makeup - Part 5 #EYESHADOW #PALETTES

#DeclutterMode

Question: Does one need 11 eyeshadow palettes? 

Answer: Probably not.

The first step consisted of immediately putting the #TARTE Pro, #Tartelette in Bloom, and #KatVonD #Shade+Light Eye Contour Palettes aside. 

The next step was to say goodbye to the following: #TheBalm #TheNudeTude -  I learned that I wasn't the biggest fan of this eyeshadow formula compared to others, #TheNudeDude palette hasn't been touched - see my #Poshmark). Also, didn't find the #Clinique eyeshadow formula to be long lasting. The #Smashbox On The Rocks palette did have an amazing range of colors, but I wasn't reaching for them. It was hard to let go of the #Dior palette, well truthfully because it was Dior. The trickiest part was going through the #UrbanDecay eyeshadow palettes. Has anyone else noticed a discrepancy with the formula of the #VicePalettes compared to the #NakedPalettes? I ended just keeping the original Naked palette. 

Time to donate to friends/family and sell on my Poshmark (user name is @KimberlyM318).

Stream Lining Makeup - Part 4 Powder Highlighters

#DeclutterMode!

Here we go again. As per usual, when trying to minimize your collection, begin with setting aside your favorites like #BeccaChampagnePop. Of course, that means I have to keep the #BeccaXJaclynHill Palette as well. It was time to say goodbye to the highlighter with the cutest packaging, #TheBalm Cindy-Lou Manizer, however, not so flattering undertone for my skin tone. Also, I accepted that you have to let go of things you aren't using even if they were expensive, or Limited Edition. Like the #BOBBIBROWN #ShimmerBrick Compact in the shade Pink. If this shade suits you check out my #Poshmark (user name is @KimberlyM318).

Happy shopping!

Keep smiling,

Kimberly Malka
