Several years ago, I started creating anti-wish lists for beauty products I would not want as a gift. I would like to keep up with this tradition because even though my blog has shifted away from being solely a beauty bog, I do like seeing what makeup brands have been releasing lately. I also included links to the products because even though I am not interested in these items, you may be. Without further ado, here is my Christmas anti-wish list for 2024.

In previous years, I have enjoyed creating anti-wish lists, especially for beauty products I would not want as a gift that year. I originally started my blog as a beauty blog and followed the latest releases. In doing so, I made plenty of purchases for products I did not necessarily need. That is no longer the case nowadays. In fact, the only new makeup I purchase is the everyday makeup I have run out of. I may treat myself to a new palette once a year or even nail polish like the Safiya x Holo Taco Collection, but I do not keep up with all the recent makeup releases like I used to. That said, I was curious about what new makeup is out there and what I would put on my Christmas anti-wish list for 2023. If you are interested in any of these items, I will include links.
…Every year I enjoy making an anti-wish list of recent makeup releases I do not want for Christmas because it helps me realize that I do not need a ton of makeup, but it is still fun seeing what makeup collections have come out.

This week I wanted to share a fun makeup challenge I did with my daughter, where she picks the makeup I would use!

I usually share a Valentine’s Day makeup look on my blog, and I thought it would be fun to do a makeup challenge this year. There are different variations of this challenge such as the 5 minute and 10 minute makeup challenge, but I want to try the variation I saw on NikkieTutorials‘ channel where she did a half-face makeup look in 60 minutes and the other half in 6 minutes. I will put my own spin on the challenge by doing my whole face for each time limit and using pink and red-toned makeup for Valentine’s Day.

As a follow-up to My Christmas Wish List post, I wanted to create a Christmas anti-wish list where I make a list of makeup I do NOT want for Christmas. I have created a Christmas Anti-Wish List 2 years ago, and I would like to do it again because I do not really follow makeup releases anymore because I mainly only buy makeup that I need or I know I get a lot of use out of. Now onto my anti-wish list!

Lately, I have been finding it difficult to have the motivation to blog, so I took a step back to focus on myself. I am back now, and hopefully, I will be able to stay on track because I have several exciting posts planned for the rest of this month.
Now, for today’s post, I wanted to create a makeup look that was chosen by Google’s random number generator. Since I have a decent collection of JSC makeup, I decided to narrow down my eyeshadow palettes, highlighters, and lipsticks to only be from JSC, whereas the rest of the makeup products included all the makeup brands I own.

For this month’s makeup look, I wanted to share how I did my makeup in high school and create an updated version.

I got this idea of checking the makeup manufacturing dates of products I own from Michala since some of her makeup was 1-2 years old before she even bought it. Now I am curious how old my makeup is. Furthermore, “Using expired makeup can lead to skin irritation and reduce product effectiveness. Knowing the age of your products helps you avoid these issues and ensures better results,” says Sara Millecam of Beautiful Brows and Lashes.
…Earlier this week I received a package from my parents that included several items I purchased from Ulta, and I wanted to share what I bought!
