I am a bit sick when it comes to makeup. I love buying them. There are many consequences with buying lots of makeup, which include but not limited to, suffering wallet, glares from family and friends, and some products don't get as much love as they deserve. So I'm starting this series, every month I'll pick out some beauty products that I haven't using in a while and try to use them as often as I can during the month.
我对化妆品有种病态的强迫症，我非常喜欢买东西。大量地买化妆品有许多后果，其中包括，钱包受罪，家人朋友奇怪的眼神，一些化妆品没有得到它们应得的宠爱。所以我要开始这个系列：每个月我都要挑出一些我挺长一段时间没有用过的东西，然后尽量多用点。
Cover Girl Lip Perfection Lipstick - Rush
Every time I wear this lipstick, I'm like why why why I don't use it often enough? I absolutely love the color, pigmented, applies smoothly and evenly. The lasting power is really good, after four hours of wear, only the greasiness you get when first apply lipstick is gone, there is still a sheen on ur lips; after 6 hours, the sheen is gone but the color is still there( though faded a bit), it leaves a nice even stain on the lips. I really enjoy using this lipstick and I never understand why I don't use it more often.
每次我涂这唇膏，我都问自己，为什么为什么为什么我没有多涂这唇膏？我非常喜欢它的颜色，很显色，上妆时很丝滑，很均匀。而且持久力也超棒，过了4个小时，只有那刚刚涂唇膏时的那种油腻感消失了，但是嘴唇看起来还是有光泽；过了6个小时，光泽没了，但颜色还在，留下一个很漂亮很均匀的印在唇上。我真的非常喜欢这唇膏，搞不懂为什么我没有多用用。
MAC Fleet Fast Blush
I went through a phase in which I really liked coral, red tone blush. And that's when I got this blusher. It's limited edition, from the Hey Sailor collection back in the summer of 2012, if I remember correctly. I think I got a bad batch. I swatch it in the store and asked the makeup artist to try it on me and it was fine, but I just have awful color payoff when I tried it home. Even when I rubbed my finger hard on the pan, I still had very little color payoff on my finger! I noticed there were some darker spots on the surface of this blush, I scrubbed it off and I started to have a color payoff that I expect from MAC. However, the next day, new darker sports came back... Somehow even now, without many dark spots, it's still difficult to get any color onto my brushes. I'm just gonna try using it a bit more. By the time I've collected 5 items for Back To MAC, I'm gonna throw in this one for the NO.6 regardless how much I still have of it left.
有段时间我超级喜欢珊瑚红，红色系的腮红。我也就是那时候买了这腮红。它是限量版，没记错的话，是2012年夏季的Hey Sailor系列的。我严重怀疑我买到了个次品。我在店里试过色，还让化妆师帮我试在脸上，当时都挺不错，但是当我回到家用时，它超级不显色。即使我用手指在盘里大力抹，手指上还是没什么颜色！我注意到这腮红的表面有些深色的点点，我把它们刮掉后，我开始有像样的显色度。但是第二天，又有新的深色点点来了......即使现在，没有大量的深色点点，还是很难显色。我只打算尽量用多点。当我有5件产品可以拿回去给MAC回收时，不管这个腮红我有多少颜色剩下，我都要扔它进去凑够6件产品。
Estee Lauder Pure Color Eye Shadow in Smoky Ember & Wild Truffle
When I first started wearing makeup, I was big on impulse buy. If I saw a good deal, I just had to get it. I saw this eye shadow quad in a discount makeup store and it was fairly affordable, it should be less than HKD50. I really shouldn't have put quantity over quality. The white and lilac shades are just unworkable. They are chalky, lack pigmentation. They don't even swatch well. So I'm not even gonna try using them. The two brown shades, though not exactly amazing, are still doable. The shimmery brown(Smoky Ember) is very pretty and the matte one(Wild Truffle) is a lot like MAC Omega. These two can pair up and make great smoky eye looks. I should use them more.
当我刚刚开始化妆时，我有很多冲动购物。我见到东西便宜，划算，我就要买。我在一间折扣店见到这眼影盘，很便宜，应该不到HKD50。我当时真的非常不应该重视数量多于质量。里面的白色和紫色非常糟糕，它们很不显色，而且颜色一块块的。即使试色也试得不好。所以我都不打算尝试用它们了。不过下面两个棕色，虽然不是超棒，但也用得了。带闪的Smoky Ember非常漂亮，而哑光的Wild Truffle很像MAC家的Omega。这两个眼影可以画出不错的烟熏妆，我应该多用它们。
Benefit Coralista
This is a very popular blush on the internet and I got it exactly because of that. Everybody was saying how this is a beautiful coral blush, looks gorgeous on the skin, gives a healthy glow. Well, I think it's a bit over-hyped. When I first started wearing blushes, I didn't know what I like, everybody saying it's good, so I went for it. Here's the bummer: after trying out some more blushes, I realized, I don't like shimmery blushes. And Benefit Coralista, while not very pigmented, is packed with shimmer. So I hardly ever use this blush. But I paid USD29 for it, it seems uneconomical if I don't ever use it. So I decided to put this on rotation. Should the MAC Fleet Fast really fail to blush me up miserably, I'll turn to this sucker. Let's see if I change my mind about it.
这是网络上一款非常受欢迎的腮红，我也是因为如此才买它的。每个人都在说它是一个非常漂亮的珊瑚色，给皮肤一个健康的光泽感。我觉得人们的话有点夸大其实。当我开始化妆时，我不知道我喜欢什么，因为所有人都在说它好，所以我就买了。结果就是：试过了不少腮红后，我发现，我不喜欢闪得很厉害的腮红。而Benefit的Coralista，虽然不是很显色，但它超级闪。所以我很少用这腮红。怎么说我也花了USD29，我一直不用似乎不太经济。所以我觉得把它拿出来。如果MAC的Fleet Fast真的完全用不了，那我就试试这家伙吧。我会不会对它有所改观呢？拭目以待。
Do you have any beauty products that you like but just don't use often enough? Or do you have products that you wish you can get a refund?
你有没有一些化妆品是你喜欢但是用得不频繁的？或是你有没有一些化妆品是你想拿去退货的？
