Shop my stash: Trash or Treasure

This week for Shop my stash: Trash or Treasure I have chosen to try out Revlon Colorstay Smoky Shadow Stick in 201 Torch, Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Blush in Blissful and Bourjois Volume Glamour Ultra Black Mascara.



Revlon Colorstay Smoky Shadow Stick in 201 Torch

I purchased this product a little over a year ago thinking it was going to be amazing. Well I was defiantly wrong there, this is such a fail product, Revlon.
The first time I used this the pink side of it snapped off which was very annoying, so I tossed it to the back of my eyeshadows drawer. Honestly I should of just thrown it out, because when I tried to use it for the past two weeks it was again very dry, and didn't apply well to the eyelid. This product is 100% going in the trash. 

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Blush in Blissful

I was gifted this blush from the lovely Marie in my international beauty swap you can read here, and I was very excited to try it because Tarte isn't available to us Australians.
At first I loved this product, but eventually I purchased new blush's and forgot about it. When I used this product last week I noticed it has a darker layer over the top, which i have tried wiping off but no matter what I try it stays. This layer makes it very hard to get any pigment from the blush, I can't even swatch it properly without rubbing multiple times. The fact that I can't use this blush breaks my heart because I love the colour of it, so if anyone has any suggestions as to how I could fix this, please leave them in the comments! Tarte's amazonian clay 12-hour blush in blissful is a treasure to me, if only I could find a way to use it to its full potential.

Bourjois Volume Glamour Ultra Black Mascara
I purchased this not long ago, but since I had 6 opened mascaras already I tried it out and put out at the end of my pile. Now that I have made my way through my opened mascaras I thought I'd better try this one out properly. What can I say, this is a great mascara. I don't normally like long brushes because I have small eyes, but this brush was perfect for getting into the inner corner lashes!
Bourjois Volume Glamour Ultra Black Mascara is a keeper!
