Although this is 7 million hours long and a bit chaotic, I had fun :) I hope you enjoy. Maybe it will help if you have the Sunday scaries haha. Have a good week guys.
Awwwww yay this is so lovely ❤️❤️. Thank you so much for this. I have filmed these different ways so glad you let me know your preference. It is hella long😂❤️
Okay, so what I do with the NYX Brow Glue is I brush my brows in all different directions ending with up. Then, I take the handle of a makeup brush and roll my brows flat to my skin while still wet. Hope it helps! 💚
I’ll be watching this in segments. I tested positive for COVID last week and am recovering while preparing for a job interview. I love seeing all the makeup! ❤
I love this format of doing an inventory the most! I love seeing everything and it was very nice to hear your opinion on the makeup products. Thank you so much for sharing 🥰
Hi Steph! Inventories are my favorite videos to watch, what a treat! Thanks for mentioning me, my family is doing great. I have bought a few things in the beginning of 2023, I ordered from Rituel de Fille and like the products all right, so far so good!
Awwww yay ❤️ thank you so much for watching. I hope you are doing well. I never tried Rituel de Fille so looking forward to hearing your thoughts. I'm delighted to be able to make your favourite so.🙌
This video is amazing! Love the overhead style 😍 Don't wanna tempt you to buy new makeup but if you are interested in a cheaper alternative for the Urban Decay Primer Potion you can try the Max Factor Miracle Prep Eyeshadow Base. It does not really have any colour to it but it keeps on my eyeshadow even longer than UD!
Ooh an hour with steph - yup its a must watch! And I have one black liner and its my least used I loved my colours more to be honest but I wear eyeliner everyday! The lip clays I would call liquid lipstick due to formula. I am looking forward to following along this year to see how you do! I also have lofty goals I am cheering you on while I attempt to hit mine its been slow and steady over here.
Yaaaay you're here 🔥. You have lofty goals for sure but you are committed and strategic which makes it fun to hear how you're doing. Do you have a goal to reduce over all? Thank you so much.
@@StephLyons Yes I want to go down 1 in at least every category. Lip products and eyeliners and perfume being the exception. For lips I want to finish 1 lipstick, 2 glosses at least and a couple lip balms bare minimum. Eyeliner aiming for 2. Perfume I want to finish all my little samples and finish 2 rollerballs if I can do that I will just keep going and see how challenging I can make it. Everything is moving even though I barely have had empties so far I am seeing the progress and its exciting!
I have 3 huge pans on that ND in bloom palette! The only one that doesn’t have a ton of use is that NARS Orgasm looking blush in that palette. It’s pretty but I use to wear a blush like that a lot when I was younger, to the point of panning 3 NARS Orgasm blushes so I guess I might be tired of that color of peach with a golden sheen even though it’s pretty.
i franken (for colour/finish type) and press my loose powders. definately kick up - but it works. it is just so much easier to use. i am currently on a no buy with pressed just so i can use up my loose this way (otherwise i found i was not using them) once they are out i dont think i will be repurchasing.
Thank you very much for letting me know. I am absolutely going to try it too. Then I'll need to look for a good pressed one. Have you many to get through?
@@StephLyons currently i have 2 loose that i have had for - has to be over 10 yr!. not kidding. i just kept carrying them around with me. they are just so messy to use loose. last year i was like what am i doing?! loose = a cinema secrets translucent matte, a cover fx luminous. - pressed = a cover fx pressed powder foundation (beautiful formula) that is wayyyy to dark for me, and a loreal pressed that is light enough but not the right colour. for my pressed powder i mix a tiny bit of the too dark coverfx with the cinema secrets matte, some of the loreal, and just a tiny bit of the cover fx luminous loose (its too luminous! i find it accentuates texture). i like it. and then i just ran out of a finishing powder (had milani - liked it) but instead of repurchasing one i frankened the luminous with just a tiny bit of the cinema secret matte, and some lilac/lavender blush to make my own pressed finishing/brightening powder. i am actually impressed with this. i used up 2 loose minis last year making concoctions. in the past i have toned down blush with translucent powder by frankening.
i have been thinking of you lately. after it crumbled all over my bathroom floor. lol. i led you astray!! it just became a crumbly mess after a bit and wouldnt stay pressed. ive just been using the loose. but i havent given up, when im in the mood to do some pressing again im going to try it with some drops of silicone and see if that works. i should ask jess lee. she is like a mad scientist with stuff. :) i think i got too zealous and the ratio was too much loose compared to the pressed i was trying to finish or maybe it really is just too old.
I love watching inventory videos! I’ve had the same issue with the nyx brow glue. I just couldn’t get my brows to stick. I realised I had to use a LOT of the gel and then lay it flat for it to actually work for me. And for a black waterline liner, I found the zoeva one works pretty well. The down side is that it’s a pain to remove at the end of the night 😂
Yay, a collection/inventory!! My favorite! With the RMS highlight does a stippling brush work? Hope you find a way to make it work. You have done fantastic with your collection and enjoyed seeing it all!
I have no idea how many pans of product I have. I have 2400 individual items. You've got a beautiful collection. I would like to bring my collection down, but I've just got allot.
Thanks for the long video Steph! For the nyx brow glue, I find I have to “back comb” my brows so there’s glue on the back of the hair to get it to stick to my skin. Otherwise it’s just a normal brow gel.
It is the best thing, as you know. I'm currently on retainer stage now. I need to wear these 6 months around the clock and then at night. How long are you finished?
Complexion matches are so hard to find at the drugstore unless you're a medium shade so it's the thing I'll splurge on because I hate mixing foundations, I usually try to wait until there is a sale then stock up on a few different ones.
@@StephLyons I have a very warm undertone so tarte, mac and nars are good brands for me because they have warm shades that go light enough. Too faced I have found are very peachy, it's like the shades are formulated to match fake tan shades not only actual skin tones they match well enough but if I'm paying $30 for a concealer I want it to be seamless, clinique, smashbox and pur I find are more more cool/neutral friendly even if it says "warm" it's just not a good match for me their complexion products never tempt me no matter how much hype because I know I probably won't find it anywhere decent match anyways
I wonder how many products I have total. I don’t have very many foundations, concealers, powders. I have a decent size collection in blush and highlighters but it’s not huge. I decluttered I think 15 highlighters a year ago. I don’t get drawn in to buy a lot in those categories. I know I have 300 eyeshadow palettes but I really started cutting back this year. I only bought one so far and that’s the Sydney Grace Tropicolor palette which is Tina’s collab. I’m proud of myself for that and want to continue on the same path. I’d be happy buying at most 5 palettes this year if I can do it. Also I’m open to giving more away, but I want to try out what I own an really think about it before giving a lot of them away. I like face palettes too but I have no bought a new one since a year ago which was the menagerie blush palette which I got a lot of use out of in the Fall especially, to the point where I had to force myself to put it away. 😅
This is really interesting. I'd love to see the 300 palettes ☺️. You really have done so incredibly well at reducing your collection it seems. You've bought 1 so far and we are in month 3 so 5 could be doable which is exciting. What's menagerie like? ❤️
@@StephLyons If I ever film it, I’ll let you know! 🙂 Thank you! After I thought about it more, I actually bought 3 total because I forgot I bought the Glamlite Scooby Doo bundle in January. I think the COVID is making me forget things, but I’m still proud of myself because last year I’d buy 4 each month, and the year before it could be up to 10 a month at times! 😳😅 🤯It seems like you downsized your collection and are controlling what you bring in as well which is a great thing. I love the menagerie blushes because the colors are unique and go on the skin nicely, but I don’t know if I’d recommend people who have to pay customs and high shipping to buy from them. After the added costs and higher wait time, I’m not sure if it’s worth it for some blushes. Their eyeshadows are okay, but I don’t think they’re worth it to people who have to pay extra fees because they are out of the US. I used to like their older eyeshadow formula, but now they have a more sheer matte formula which isn’t my preference.
That would be wonderful Hélène, a lot of things have happened so a lot to share 😂. You're so kind. I want to catch up on how you are and how everyone is❤️. Thank you.
Although this is 7 million hours long and a bit chaotic, I had fun :) I hope you enjoy. Maybe it will help if you have the Sunday scaries haha. Have a good week guys.
It took me a few days to watch this but I HAD to finish. I love Inventory numbers and seeing comparisons from previous years.
Cray-cray! 🤭🤭🤭 Heard it here for the first time, I'm delighted 😊 I love learning real-life English expressions 😊
❤❤❤great video and I love the red lip stick it looks amazing
An hour with Steph! I hit the jackpot! Love these videos from you and seeing it overhead ❤️
Awwwww yay this is so lovely ❤️❤️. Thank you so much for this. I have filmed these different ways so glad you let me know your preference. It is hella long😂❤️
You are doing so good. Thanks for sharing I know it takes a while to film these
I use that Nyx glitter glue for shimmers all the time and it seems to work just fine.

Thank you so much. I'll try the stippling brush🔥. Its hard though so not sure how to get it to work. I'm so happy that you watched ❤️
@@StephLyons maybe Ruth’s under the thigh/boob trick will work? 😂😂😂 I still laugh every time she talks about it but it does work for those! lol
@GenBeauty it absolutely works😂😂. The only issue is I put balm on at the start so its not warmed up yet but it does the job 😂❤️❤️
I just got that ND Retro eye shadow palette. I waited SO long to get my hands on it!!!
Yaaaaay Hélène ❤️❤️. Do you like the Retro?
@@StephLyons Definitely. I have 2 versions of it: Retro Glam and the Retro.

@@StephLyons I'm going to do collection videos, they're highly requested. I do have a inventory, numbers only.
@@flawedfabulous sounds right up my alley. Thank you for letting me know.🤗

Ooohhhh thank you so much Emma. I'm absolutely going to try that❤️❤️😊
@@StephLyonsDid backcombing work? how do you like the brow gel now?
Wow great video!!! A hug from Italy ❤
