The 'Forgot I had' Products

There will always be times where I purchase a product and use it for a good month or two then move onto something else and completely forget I still own those products. I recently started to do a bit of 'makeup spring cleaning' which involved getting all of my spring/summery bits on show. As I was tidying my drawer up I discovered a couple of products that I actually guiltily forgot I owned naughty me! So today I decided to share with you all these products I forgot I owned and why I stopped and moved onto something else.

Topshop Lipsticks - Topshop lipsticks were a big thing last summer as whenever I was popping into a store I was constantly leaving with a new lipstick to add to my collection. I loved everything about these lipsticks from their packaging, to the consistency they were my favourite for quite a while but I then moved onto the Revlon balm stains I believe and totally forgot I had these. I definitely want to be wearing these this summer again as Topshop have an amazing range of bright colours that go on so easily and look amazing!

Laura Mercier Foundation Primer - I love wearing my Witch Hazel primer and I have done for a good 6 years now as it keeps my makeup at bay all day long. Laura Mercier was one of those primers that got used once or twice then dumped at the bottom of my drawer because nothing competes with the primer I use now. Since this is an expensive brand and I did receive it in one of My Little Box subscriptions I should really make use of its expense and give it a second (or third) chance.

Naked 2 Basics Palette - I know I know don't hate me for this one! It shocks me too that I rarely use this palette as much as I used to. When this first came out and Cohorted had this as almost half the price I snapped it up and wore it religiously for month's until Makeup Revolution launched a lot more of their eyeshadow palettes. I do need to use this cute, little palette a lot more and I am glad I discovered it again because I now really want to start using it!

Bourjois Java Rice Powder - I guiltily purchased this down to its vintage, dainty package design. I was actually just starting to get into highlighter more when I purchased this then I ended up moving onto Benefits highlighters and forgot all about it. This was always easy to apply and smelt wonderful on my face so I should really use it again. Plus who could turn away such a pretty packaged product?

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara - It is probably no surprise to you all that I still continuously use Benefit's They're Real mascara as no other mascara has upped the anti. I wore this mascara a lot last year and absolutely loved it so much I bought another and never got round to opening it. This mascara always caught every single lash when applying it and that is why I loved it so much as it made my lashes look a lot more noticeable. I may keep this mascara for the summer as even the packaging looks quite summery!

Nars Creamy Concealer - At the time I purchased this I used it once or twice then started to feel as though it didn't match my skin tone which was weird because the woman who served me tried several shades. It might just be me who thinks this but because of that I shied away from it and stuck to my Collection concealer. I do want to retry wearing this concealer as it seems a waste of money otherwise. If it doesn't match my skin then I will give it to someone else or sell it as it is a good concealer.

Real Techniques Stippling Brush - This was the first foundation brush I purchased from the Real Techniques range and I absolutely loved using it to blend my foundation in. But as time went on I purchased one of the sets and I now use the Buffing Brush daily as that gives the best results personally. I don't think this brush would do much good in blending in my foundation as Estee Lauder Double Wear (I would say) requires a thick brush to blend in with. But once I start wearing my tinted moisturizers or BB creams I will return to using this as its an oldy but goodie!
