Makeup Collection Downsize: Blushes

I know it sounds rediculous. You're purging your makeup? How much do you have? 

Too much, that's how much! 

I don't mind having a large collection, however, there are so many products 

I don't get to use or products I'm using just to use them but there's no love there. 

So it was time!

I teamed up with my good friend Jen over at GlamMoms on YouTube 

to go through our collections and downsize. Really think about what we love and actually use 

versus don't use but just keep around because it's pretty, or we spent the money, or who 

knows what other excuses.

Can you believe that is how many blushes I had? I mean, come on! I only have one face!

After a torturous and painful hour, I was able to part with 26 blushes! I honestly thought

I had about 26 to begin with. Not closer to 50!

And this is what I'm left with. Still a whole lotta blush for these two cheeks but

definitely more manageable. These are all blushes I know I like and use.

Now I know this is still excessive, don't get me wrong! 

But I'm a makeup junkie and this is what I do ;)

Check out my decluttering process below and let me know if you've done anything

similar whether it be with your makeup, house, clothes, etc. 

I love all types of decluttering stories.

Review & Demo: Vera Mona Color Switch Duo

Hey guys, I'm back for another review and I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am...

or actually, I'm about to tell you how excited I am!

I recently reached out to Vera Mona after seeing several reviews on YouTube and

demos on InstaGram and I must say, I was intrigued. Vera Mona sent me their 

color switch duo and I was so excited to put it to the test for you.

Here's what Vera Mona has to say about the Color Switch Duo:

"Color Switch Duo by Vera Mona is the only product on the market of its kind!!! It removes the color from eyeshadow brushes helping the makeup artist switch to another color quickly and efficiently. The Duo's unparalleled design includes a centered mini sponge for wet make up application. Nothing else like this exists!! Stroke the eye shadow brush against the Duo sponge to completely remove the color being used and switch to the next. The Duo's uniquely designed centered sponge enhances the color of the eye shadow when applied wet, resulting in a more vibrant look that is true to the pallet, or color being used. Discard wet sponge after every use."

I have to say I am a full believer in this product. I've tested it out over several weeks and 

although it's not made to 'clean' your brushes, it removes makeup amazingly from your brushes.

With this sponge you're able to reuse the same brushes for several uses 

making it perfect for travel. I love how it cuts down on wash time also. Unlike most people, I love washing my brushes however, it always takes SO long for my brushes to dry. With the Color Switch Duo I don't have to wash my brushes after single use, although I do recommend 

washing at least once a week to prevent bacteria growth...ew.

Vera Mona has several options for you: 

I would highly recommend these products for any makeup artist or like me, 

makeup lover. You won't be disappointed!
