Every once in a while, I like to visit my little makeup collection and dig out products that have been collecting dust. I should do it more often but when you keep adding to your collection, it becomes nearly impossible. Especially when all your love is focused on the new products, nobody honestly wants to use old products just for the sake of using.
I think I've been behaving in terms buying. I do add new products little by little but I don't buy for the sake of buying. So I visited my stash and dug out some items that I should show a little love to!
MAC Paint Pot in Vintage Selection
The gorgeous Vintage Selection was one of the 4 limited edition paint pots in Cham Pale collection. I initially wanted to completely pass up this collection based on online swatches. When I swatched Vintage Selection in store, I fell in love. It's such a shame that I ignored it this long. It's really easily wearable during the day as a base or even alone. You can take it from day to night by adding a darker crease color. I love it, so glad we're back together :)
MAC Fluidline in Siahi
I missed out on Siahi once as it sold out super fast when they released it in the Mickey Contractor collection. But then it was back in stock and I just had to have it. Since then, I think I've used it 3 times, maybe. Its blueish teal color is just stunning. Looks great both on upper lash line or water line for a pop of color.
Sephora Colorful Mono Pearl No. 09
I bought this beautiful pearly peach shade last year while aimlessly wandering around at Sephora one day and kind of forgot about it after a few uses. It looks gorgeous with a tan, especially when used wet! I will be incorporating it to my day looks more, it makes a great everyday color!

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Coral Reef
Coral Reef is a coral that is definitely season appropriate. I can only laugh at myself for bringing it out in the last month of summer. Lip glosses just aren't really my go-to products during summer and this proves it!
Sally Hansen 12 Hr. Lip Treatment in Princess
Princess is my favorite nude lip gloss from the drugstore. It is shimmery but nothing of gritty nature, think more micro. Has a nice vanilla-like scent and I love that it doesn't leave my lips sticky like most other lip glosses do, I just cannot stand sticky lip glosses.

Wet n Wild Lipstick in 903C
Another summery lipstick I completely forgot I even owned! It's a matte salmon/light coral. Though matte, I don't find it to be drying on lips as I do with many of the other matte lipsticks. It also lasts a good while on my lips, yay for not having to reapply - at least that often!

Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse
While checking out my foundations drawer, I came across this Maybelline foundation I have picked up last year. (See my review here) I can't even believe it was more than a year ago! As you can tell from my photo below, I haven't used it much since then. Honestly I was kind of shocked/surprised to see that it cracked big time. But it managed to keep its consistency and did not dry at all. It's still quite creamy as the first day I bought it and still wears the same. I will try to use this up within the next couple of months as I don't think it will make it into the next year.

How often do you shop your stash? Any rediscoveries?
