Struggle is a state I'm constantly in. There are so many great beauty products out there that I wanna try(aka, buy). On the other hand, I hate wasting products, not using them up. So pretty much every time I buy something, I struggle. In order to justify my future beauty purchases, I feel the need to do a beauty clean-up. Pick out products that I don't like, or at least, wouldn't repurchase, but still workable, and use them up. And before I do that, I'm not allowed to buy anything new, unless I run out of my essentials, like if my foundation brush falls apart, or using up my brow pencil.
我总是在挣扎。天下有那么多好东西我想试（也就是说，想买），但另一方面，我很讨厌浪费东西，不用完产品。所以基本上每次我买东西时，我都要挣扎一会。因此为了让我接下来买东西时，可以觉得有理据些，我觉得我需要做个瓶罐大扫除。挑出一些我不喜欢，至少也要是我不会回购，但也用得了的东西，把他们用完。而且，在我用完这些东西之前，我不允许自己买新的东西，除非是我用完了一些必需品，如粉底刷烂了，眉笔画完了。
Here's the makeup part.
下面是彩妆部分。
Maybelline Pure Mineral Loose Powder
One of the very first makeup products that I purchased, it's just not good. As a loose powder, it's supposed to set makeup, make them last longer or at least help with oil control. Guess which part it fails to do? Everything. It literally does nothing as a setting powder. But I do manage to find a use for it - as a subtle highlighter. This powder contains shimmer particles. Honestly, it's purely for the sake of using it up. The highlighting effect is minimal in a sense that it doesn't give you a glow, but visible shimmer particles upon close inspection.
美宝莲矿物水漾亲肤散粉
这是我最早买的化妆品之一，不喜欢它。作为一个散粉，它应该是起到定妆作用，让妆容持久，至少也有些控油作用。那么猜猜，这散粉做不到哪个功能？哪个功能都做不到。不过，我也总算找到个用处给它 － 拿来打高光，这个散粉带有些闪粉。老实说，这真的纯粹是为了用完东西罢了。它的高光作用其实很低，不会有什么光泽感，只是靠近些可以见到些闪粉罢了。
Revlon ColorBurst Lipgloss in 022 Sunset Peach & 006 Strawberry
Though the Maybelline powder is a fail product, I'm in no way saying these two lip glosses suck. The formula of these is quite nice indeed. It's not sticky unless you put on too much. A thin layer feels like nothing. It doesn't last that long which is a common problem for lip glosses, it only lasts 2 hours or less if you talk a lot. But the real problem is, I'm just not a lip gloss kind of girl. I don't really bother with putting lipgloss over lipsticks either. However, if you like lip glosses, I would still highly recommend you to try them out.
露华浓唇彩 022号和006号
虽然美宝莲的那散粉是个失败的东西，但我绝对不会说这两支唇彩不好用。它的质地还真挺不错的，很轻薄。除非你用太多了，否则它不会黏糊糊。薄薄的一层的话，基本上没什么感觉。但它不怎么持久，这也算是唇彩的通病了，你不多说话，它也只能耐到2个小时。真正的问题是，我就是不太喜欢唇彩。而且平时我也懒得在唇膏上再叠加一层唇彩。不过，如果你喜欢唇彩的话，我还是挺推荐你试试它们的。
Revlon CorlorBurst Lip Butter in 025 Peach Parfait
Again, the problem is me. Lately I'm into brighter lip colors. I find that a brighter pink lips makes everything looks better, makes your cheeks look more flushed, makes your complexion looks healthier. That's why I don't think this Revlon lip butter in peach parfait should be in my collection for any longer. While the formula is again very nice, moisturizing enough to smooth over dry chapped lips, I just don't like the color all that much. It only gives a hint of peach color on my lips and lots of shimmer.
露华浓025号Lip Butter
问题再一次在我身上。最近我比较喜欢鲜艳点的唇色。我发现它们，尤其是鲜艳的粉红，让什么妆容都好看些，会让双颊看起来更粉，气色更好。这就是为什么我不想要这支025号的露华浓Lip Butter。虽然它的质地不错，很保湿，即使嘴唇干燥到起死皮，也可以不打底，直接用这唇膏，但我就是不喜欢这颜色。它只带有一点点蜜桃色，和大量大量的亮片。
Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner in Black Brown
We had a moment, but the moment has past and I've since moved onto better things. I used to think this eyeliner is amazing till I found better ones. While it isn't smudge city, it still smudges a bit(or maybe more than a bit). If I have it on my lash line, I sure will have it transferred to my under eye area in two hours or so. Not sure how I'm gonna use it up, maybe I'll just wait till it turn bad?
露华浓 ColorStay 眼线笔 Black Brown
我们曾经有过一段美好的感情，但是那段日子过去了。我过去曾以为这是最棒的眼线笔，而我现在也试过比它更好的了。虽然它晕染得不厉害，但它也会晕染一点（其实不止一点）。如果我用它画内眼线，两小时内就会晕染到下眼线。烦恼着要怎么把它用完，还是说它变质了？
ELF Eyebrow Treat & Tame in Deep
Well well well, I think at best I'll just half-use up this product. The treat side seems to work cuz my brows might have look a bit fuller than they used to? But the tame side sure does nothing. It doesn't tame, does nothing to set my brows in place and I don't even have bushy brows, I have a naughty hair or two and that's about it. Though this stuff is tinted, it doesn't show up to be. It gives you so very little color on your brows while a lot show up on your cotton pad when you remove your makeup at the end of the day. What?
ELF Eyebrow Treat & Tame 色号Deep
这个呢，我觉得我最多也是半用完它。Treat的那边貌似有点作用，因为我的眉毛似乎比以前浓密了些？但是Tame的那边一点用都没有。它一点都不能驯服我的眉毛，而我的眉毛也不算是浓密的，不羁的张飞眉，最多就一两条毛比较调皮罢了。还有就是虽然这眉毛啫喱是有颜色的，但用起来真的看不出啊。在眉毛上一点也不显色，但是卸妆时，化妆棉上却有很浓的深棕色。搞什么呀？
Skin 79 BB Cream Golden tube sample
Ok, I feel a bit cheating with this one, cuz it's a tiny sample size. Don't be tricked into thinking there's a lot of product in there when you first see it in store. Honestly, 70% were air( maybe not air but nitrogen, you get the idea). You could get only so little product, lasts you a less than two weeks for daily use. Anyway, back to the product itself. It's quite nice if you have good skin and only needs to even your skin tone out. This stuff looks totally natural and pretty much undetectable on my skin. The only thing deterring me from getting a full size of it is the lack of coverage. My acne ravished face would like some more coverage to hide, or at least lighten its spots. But the coverage of this BB cream cannot even be built up to the coverage of a layer of my beloved Missha M Perfection BB cream.
Skin 79 BB霜 金管试用装
好吧，觉得把这个也写进来有点作弊的感觉。在莎莎店里见到这条试用装请不要以为份量挺多的。其实里面70%都是空气（好吧，应该不是空气，而是氮气什么的）。其实份量很少，每天用的话，应该不到两周就会用完了。回到产品本身上，如果你皮肤不错的话，只要求底妆均匀肤色的话，那么这BB霜是挺不错的。它真的很自然，近看也看不出涂了什么东西。那么是什么在阻碍着我买正装呢？它的遮瑕度不够。我那被痘痘欺凌过的脸很需要高的遮瑕度，来遮盖痘印。但是这支BB霜即使重复叠加，它那遮瑕度也不能叠加到一层谜尚红管可以达到的遮瑕度。
Estee Lauder Pure Color Eye Shadow in 07 Smoky Ember & 12 Wild Truffle
If you read my recent posts, you should be quite familiar with these two eye shadows. Can't wait to use them up. I've already made quite a dent in the Smoky Ember, so it shouldn't take too long for me to finish it.
雅诗兰黛的Pure Color 眼影 07 号Smoky Ember和12号Wild Truffle
如果你有看我最近的一些博文，你应该挺熟悉这两个眼影的了。迫不及待地想用完它。我已经在Smoky Ember那格上用出了个坑，希望不久后可以KO掉它。
Skincare:
Clarins Cleansing Milk Combination or Oily Skin
Impulse purchase leads to regrets. I didn't do any research regarding this product. So I guess I deserve to dislike it. It is okay at removing makeup but that's about it. It leaves such and oily film on my face. Hate that! Becasue I cannot bring myself to toss a workable product, I decided to use it up as a makeup remover.
娇韵诗Cleansing Milk 混合偏油肌肤
冲动是魔鬼啊。完全没有在网上搜搜这东西我就买了它。好吧，我活该。它卸妆还可以，但也就这么多了。它会留下一层油膜在脸上，超级讨厌那感觉。但因为我不忍心扔掉一个可以用的东西，所以我打算就当它是卸妆乳那样用完它算了。
