Upcoming Review: ColorMates

While checking what posts were getting the most views I saw that the ones related to the ColorMates brushes and nail polishes seemed very popular, so I have decided to make ColorMates my next series of reviews focused around a single brand. Some of the products have already been opened and used a few times while others are still sealed in their packaging.

Due to the length of time it tends to take me to review things I am not going to attempt to review everything as the bulk of what I have is eye shadow and those take the longest to review for me, but I will try to review at least one of things from the three different types of eye shadow palettes that I have in order to give an impression of what that eye shadow is like in each format. The two lip sticks will also be reviewed.

Wrap-up Review: Madame Milly

Since there were so many pieces to this brand being reviewed over several months of time I thought a wrap-up was in order. Madame Milly does not appear to be available at Kohl's anymore, but does appear to be available on Amazon.com.

Format of reviews going forward

Due to my laptop doing its best to try and stop working I am having to modify how I approach posting reviews since I will be posting from a tablet going forward instead of from the laptop. I will endeavor to keep the same level of information in the posts for the makeup reviews, they just won’t be in the same format.

The last two reviews for the Madame Milly eye shadows will be posted from the laptop, but not in the original format as right now I am not sure I can organize it that way from my notes, which is why they haven’t been posted yet, because I’m having a hard time setting up my own layout as I originally planned it. In the end this forced change may be a good thing for me as it will encourage me to find a better working layout for reviews to be posted and how to keep track of the information.

The Daily Makeup and Makeup As Medicine posts on my two tumblrs will stay the same as they are being posted from my phone and will continue to do so.

Keep in Mind: December 2014

This month I had planned to use makeup everyday and then I ended up with a cold that lasted two weeks and that derailed my planned, but I have managed to get some makeup on, even if it was just a lip product, almost every other day that I wasn’t sick.

Empties: Makeup I Have Used Up: 12-30-2014

A few of these have been sitting in the bag I store this stuff in since July; I’ve not been feeling the most up to organizing my thoughts on these things so it has taken a while to get posted.

Wet n Wild Fergie: Clear Coat

Never Used: 12-28-2014

I have a lot of makeup, more makeup than I will ever be able to use in a timely manner. But I’m okay with that because the makeup serves more of a purpose for me than just going on my face. It is my therapy for helping me to get through the days when I physically don’t feel good and it is my entertainment on the days when I can’t do other things but don’t feel bad enough to stay in bed all day. I don’t feel guilty for having as much as I do and I value all of the makeup I have quite highly.

Every once in a while when going through my makeup I find something that expired/dried up before I got a chance to use it. I thought it might be helpful to post about those things and a bit about why they never got used in the first place as the reasons will not always be the same.

Influenster Follow up: Blue Diamond Fruit Flavored Almonds and the Vitamin Shoppe Next Step

I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

This follow up is very late compared to when it was received because I have not felt up to writing this until now. My apologies for how long this has taken to complete.

These two products I was unable to use because they both contain stevia. I have both had reactions to stevia and therefore am unable to consume products that contain it. My husband had no interest in trying these and I wasn’t going to press him. I do hope to someday be able to make use of the Jaxx Shaker Cup, but at this time have not found a need for it, if I ever do I will follow up again.
