US drugstore makeup is getting more and more lackluster (say, compared to GOSH, Barry M, Sleek, etc). As for high-end, Stila, Lancome, Shiseido, Laura Mercier, and Bobbi Brown (sadly) have been pretty dull as well…

I am still going through an “Asian” phase. I’m testing all the Japanese/Korean brands my mom could get for me when she was in Hong Kong. I loveeee it. I wish I could get more too but shipping is such a *****!
After I’m done with my face wash, I’m going to change up my routine & try something new. My wallets just waiting for me to go through the “Skin” phase.
I know I’m going to get shunned for this but I absolutely HATE MAC. I know it’s Canadian (I’m a Canadian) but it’s absolute crap. I have only ever made TWO purchases at MAC. I got the Volcanic Ash Exfoliator AND Thermal Mask because soooo many Youtube/Blog Guru’s raved about it. I can’t keep thinking about how much money I wasted on those two things. For a person who doesn’t shop at MAC (besides the two purchases) I can already tell that MAC has nothing worthy of my $20+. I pass by MAC all the time when I’m out shopping & I can see from behind the glass, it’s the same old **** repackaged. I don’t care if it’s Sanrio or Disney endorsed or whatever, it’s not WORTH it. Has anyone noticed how the shades of lip glosses are pretty much ALL the same!? I do NOT notice a difference, ever. I’m not blind either.

1. hand-me-downs laissez faire phase, using any cosmetics, stuff that don’t do so well with my sisters/cousins 2. MAC phase, curiously, you don’t have this. Then I got BORED, I mean super boring packaging, the occasional profit driven special collection isn’t all that special with colours so similar to the permanent line. 3. Drugstore phase, hello variety and pocket friendly makeup. 4. Mineral makeup, mostly online brands phase, which I am still at now. My skin breaks out whenever I go back to the stuff I used in Phase 1 to 3 so I’m kinda stuck. Getting bored and saturated now so..
5. Skincare phase, i am investing all my money in skincare now trying all the must-buys from everywhere. in hopes of saving my face from the years of damage I have done.
My relationship with makeup started about 5 years ago so its about 1 year on each phase..
