Forgotten Finds!

Shopping the Stash posts are becoming so popular across the beauty blogger world. I have been inspired to join in and do my own post. The Sunday Girl always does a great post on this every week. You guys should check her out. Click here!

The idea for this post is to make more use of your make up. Like many others I tend to forget about make up when I buy new 'shiny' products. Good products I loved in the past get forgotten about. By 'Shopping the Stash' you can give products a new life. It is a great way to feel like you have bought something without actually spending any money.

Here is the products I have picked to wear for this week.

Eyeko 'Line and Shine Duo Colour Pencil' for the Eyes' - I picked this up in TK Maxx about a year ago. It came in a pack with two other Eyeko products for €9.99. This eye pencil is double ended, one end is 'Electric Blue' and the other is 'Teal'. hey are both super pigmented and last on the eyes. I don't know why I haven't been using them more as I love the colours.

Avon's Ultra Colour Rich White Gold Lipstick in ‘Platinum Pink’- This is quite a nice lipstick. It has pieces of gold in it which makes it quite sparkly but not in a scary twilight way. It is a light pink,  It gives your lips a lovely sparkle without a very noticeable strong colour. This is good if you want a more neutral looking lipstick. This lipstick smells lovely but doesn't last that long on the lips. It fades naturally though so you don't have to worry about your lips looking patchy. 

17 magnetic nail polish in the colour black - I love this nail polish. The magnetic effect works really well with this colour. It gives your nails an almost marble effect.

MUA Professional Heaven and Earth Palette - When I first got this palette I adored it. I used it every day. I used it so much I even broke the cover. oops :( In the last few months however I bought a neutral sleek palette and the undressed palette by MUA. My poor heaven and earth palette was forgotten about. This week I will rediscover its charm.

NYC Blush - Mosaic style blush. Gives a nice pink glow to the cheeks. Super cheap too!

So that is the make up I'm rediscovering this week!

TK Maxx Bargains

TK Maxx has become my go to shop for beauty bargains! Its doesn't help that I have to walk past it on my way home from work...  Anyway here is what I picked up:

I have wanted to buy Ecotools makeup brushes for ages but have never seemed to have got round to it. However, when I saw these beauties in TK MAXX for €3.99 I had to pick them up! The brushes cost about twice that in boots so I was trilled with this little bargain.  The brushes I picked were the Bamboo Deluxe Concealer Brush and Bamboo Eye Shadow Brush. Both brushes are super soft and feel really sturdy to hold.  Each brush has a highly sustainable bamboo handle, 100% cruelty free talkon brushes and recycled aluminium ferrule. Ecotools are designed to be 'earth friendly brushes that shows respect for the planet'. I'm VERY pleased with this find :)

Eye Shadow Brush

I also picked up some lovely Eyeko products. I have been dying to try Eyeko since I saw them featured on Thunder+Threads. I picked up a set for €9.99 that included 'Graffiti Eyeliner Pen', 'Line and Shine Duo Colour Pencil for the Eyes' and 'Liptastick Glossy Lip Pen'. 

                                   

The  'Graffiti Eye liner Pen' is very black which I like. As it is a pen shape it makes lining the eyes much easier than using a normal eye liner.

The 'Line and Shine Duo Colour Pencil for the Eyes' is fantastic for adding some colour to your eyes. It comes one end in 'Electric Blue' and the other in 'Teal'. 

The 'Liptastick Glossy Lip Pen' has to be my favourite Eyeko product. The colour (Hot Lips) is amazing. It's very pigmented and glossy. I love the fact that it comes in pen form for easy application yet you don't have to sharpen it. All you have to do is twist the bottom, this will push up more product.

Swatches

I hope TK Maxx keeps up these brilliant beauty bargains!
