Holy moly, you guys! My Shop My Stash series has officially hit double digits! I’m so happy that you all have been loving this series. I love having the opportunity to try products out for you all. And seeing as it’s a new month, it’s time to shake up the stash once again. These will be the products that I’ll be testing out from now until the end of May.
Kicking us off with primers. And as we transition into winter up north, out are the grippy and pore filling primers, in are the moisturising and nourishing primers. I have picked out two old faves that have appeared in previous stashes. The ERE PEREZ MORINGA ALL BEAUTY CREME (PR) is so nourishing and leaves my skin feeling so cushy and nice. The HUDA BEAUTY WATER JELLY HYDRATING PRIMER is like a drink of water to the skin. I adore it!
Now, for the coverage products, it’s the battle of the Fenty Skin Tints! I have the FENTY BEAUTY EAZE DROP BLUR + SMOOTH TINT STICK and the FENTY BEAUTY EAZE DROP BLURRING SKIN TINT FOUNDATION as my picks for this month. Both of these are in shade 2. When I posted about these in February, I had a ton of interest in them. I was waiting for the weather to cool a little bit before I gave them a go.
Concealer time now. And I picked out three this month. I have the GLOSSIER STRETCH CONCEALER in LIGHT 2 as my spot concealer. This has been compared to the Nars Soft Matte. So I’m excited to try it. I also grabbed the NYX COSMETICS BARE WITH ME CONCEALER SERUM in VANILLA and the FENTY BEAUTY WE’RE EVEN LONGWEAR CONCEALER in 150 to play with. The Fenty was a Singapore purchase and I had a ton of requests to use it.
For powder, I’m keeping in my MAYBELLINE FIT ME LOOSE POWDER IN SHADE 10 FAIR LIIGHT as I’m close to finishing it. But for the pressed powder, I picked out the MECCA MAX LIFE PROOF TINTED PRESSED SETTING POWDER in SHADE 2. Mecca Max makes some incredible powder products. But I’ve heard no one talk about this powder. Finally, for setting spray, I bought back in the HOLME BEAUTY GOLDEN HOUR GLOW SETTING SPRAY. The cooler weather can really dry out my skin. And this stuff is glow in a bottle!
Getting into brows, I have two picks for this month. Firstly, the new RARE BEAUTY BROW HARMONY FLEXIBLE LIFTING GEL is my pick for a clear brow gel. This was a pick up from the recent Sephora sale and I’ve seen a ton of positive buzz. I also wanted a tinted gel in my stash. So I went with the LOUNGEFACE BROW BUILDER. It’s in the shade Brunette and it’s another one that I haven’t heard much about.
We have another battle with my mascara picks. This time, it’s Sephora Collection! I have the SEPHORA COLLECTION LOVE THE LIFT MASCARA and the SEPHORA COLLECTION BIG BY DEFINITION MASCARA were my choices for this month. And I actually have you all to thank for it! Both of these mascara’s were recommended to me when I did my Mascara poll back in March. Stay tuned for my thoughts.
I also decided to add a lash primer to my stash this month. It’s something that I wouldn’t normally use. But the MAYBELLINE SKY HIGH MASCARA PRIMER has a ton of hype around it. And I already love the original mascara. So, I’ll be trying this too.
I have a few other eye products that I threw into the stash. The MAYBELLINE COLOR TATTOO EYE STIX have been sitting in my drawer for a minute. I have the shades Inspired (soft pink) and Shining (champagne). I also have the adorable MECCA MAX OVER THE TOP HOLOGRAPHIC EYESHADOW TOPPERS for a fun burst of colour. It’s a trio of shimmery and sparkly eyeshadows. The top is a pink, the middle is a blue/brown, and the bottom is a green/gold. At the time of writing, this is sold out. But hopefully it comes back soon.
Bronzer time now! And as is tradition at this point, I have two creams and two powders. For the creams, I have the MILK MAKEUP MATTE BRONZER in BAKED (yes, it is that small), and the OXX STUDIO BRONZE WHIP CREAM BRONZER. And for the powders, I have the ELF COSMETICS PRIMER INFUSED BRONZER in FOREVER SUNKISSED and the absolutely iconic FENTY BEAUTY SUN STALK’R BRONZER in SHADY BIZ. My goal for this stash is to hit pan on that bronzer. I am super close!
We’ll end this with my blush stash. And yes, it is excessive. But there have been so many incredible blush launches as of late. I have to try them all! So, from left to right, we have the MILK MAKEUP COOLING WATER JELLY TINT in CHILL, the CLINIQUE CHEEK POP BLUSH in PEACH POP, the ELF COSMETICS CAMO LIQUID BLUSH in PINKY PROMISE, the GLOSSIER CLOUD PAINT in PUFF, the MECCA MAX OFF DUTY LIQUID BLUSH in ROSY, and the MAC MINERALIZE BLUSH in DAINTY.
And I am done! I certainly have my work cut out for me this month. I hope you enjoyed this. And as always, let me know what you want to see in a future Bite Size Reviews down below.
Cheers and love
