Shop My Stash: Volume 18 – August/September Edit

Posted on August 8, 2025August 7, 2025 by emmiesbeautylifeadmin

After the longest two months of my life, it’s finally time to go through and revamp the stash for the next few months. And while there are a few returning faces in this stash, there are also quite a few newbies that I’m super excited to put to the test. Especially now that it’s FINALLY beginning to warm up up north. Let’s get to the stash!

Kicking it off with the base products, I have one returning primer with the HUDA BEAUTY EASY BLUR PRIMER and a new primer with the MAYBELLINE GRIPPY SERUM PRIMER. The Maybelline I’m particularly excited for as it just launched a month or so ago. Getting into foundations, yes, that is the MADE BY MITCHELL TRUTH TINT still here. I did bite off more than I could chew last stash. Expect that review very soon. As for what’s next, I’m finally getting around to reviewing the MAYBELLINE SUPER STAY LUMI MATTE FOUNDATION as I think I’ve finally found my shade. I’m also doing my annual dip into K-Beauty with reviewing the UNLEASHIA SATIN WEAR HEALTHY GREEN CUSHION FOUNDATION.

For my concealer picks, I have two returning favourites in the URBAN DECAY QUICKIE CONCEALER and the ELF COSMETICS CAMO SATIN CONCEALER. But the big one is obviously the HAUS LABS TRICLONE CONCEALER that I picked up in Melbourne. For setting spray, I bought back the ELF COSMETICS POWER GRIP DEWY SETTING SPRAY to give another crack. And for powders, I have the iconic KOSAS CLOUS SET POWDER as my pressed pick and the AUSTRALIS FRESH & FLAWLESS LOOSE SETTING POWDER and the FENTY BEAUTY PRO FILT’R INSTANT RETOUCH SETTING POWDER for my loose options.

For the brows, I have two returning favourites. I’m super close to using up the RARE BEAUTY BROW HARMONY FLEXIBLE LIFTING GEL. So I wanted to chuck that in. To fill in my brows, I have the ELF COSMETICS INSTANT LIFT BROW PENCIL.

For my mascara picks, I have the long awaited REVLON ALL IN TUBING MASCARA review in the works. I did bump this for the new Maybelline launch. So expect that review soon. Following that is the new KOSAS SOULGAZER MASCARA that launched here last week. I’m so excited to review this because it has to be better than the last Kosas mascara that I tried.

Now let’s get into the cheek products. I have two new bronzers, the RIMMEL MULTI TASKER 3 in 1 BRONZING STICK in LIGHT and the ESSENCE BABY GOT BRONZE in CINNAMON STICK and two returning favourites, the MAKEUP BY MARIO SOFTSCULPT SKIN ENHANCER in LIGHT MEDIUM and the NYX BUTTERMELT BRONZER in ALL BUTTA’D UP. The Essence and Rimmel I haven’t heard much about. So, I’m psyched to try them.

We’ll wrap this up with my haul of blushes. Because you can never have too many blushes. I have the DIOR BACKSTAGE ROSY GLOW STICK in ROSEWOOD, the RARE BEAUTY SOFT PINCH BOUNCY MATTE BLUSH in HAPPY, the TOO FACED CLOUD CRUSH WHIPPED LIP & CHEEK COLOR in MILK & COOKIES, the MAKEUP FOREVER ARTIST COLOR CRAYON in SWANKY MAUVE, the MAC POWDER BLUSH in DESERT ROSE, and finally, the MAC GLOW PLAY BLUSH in BLUSH PLEASE.

And that is my stash for the next few months. A much smaller stash than the last time around. But I like the mixture of oldies and newbies. As always, if there is something you particularly want me to focus a review on, let me know in the comments.

Cheers and love
