Week #2 of September Shop My Makeup Stash

Hey doll hey! How’s your day/night going? Great I hope. I still have a raging headache but I’m powering through it.

I’ve decided to start my weeks from here on out on Saturdays instead of Sundays… it just makes it easier for me to get the shop my stash posts up and still be able to play with my makeup.

As always I used the Tiny Decisions App for select all of my makeup and as a challenge to myself I also have it selecting 3 looks for me to incorporate this week. Those looks are: Saturday – a halo eye, Wednesday – a smokey eye and Friday – try a new technique.

So let’s take a closer look at this week’s makeup for my stash box….

*As always any links provided are simply for the ease of my readers to locate the products I’ve mentioned… they are not affiliate links and I am not working for nor am I linked to any of the brands I speak of… these are my own products that I paid for with my own money. All swatches are done on clean, bare skin with no primer and in 1 pass…. all pictures have been taken with flash to maximize the color pay off*
