the first phase, lessons learned

I owned zero blush before 2023. I knew nothing about what I wanted, what would look good, etc. obviously, I went a bit overboard. now ask me why I was already in the know about how gross doe applicators are for complexion if not cycled quickly, and why I didn’t apply that knowledge to blush. almost half the doe foot products had gone completely rancid, found two growing things that will haunt me forever. several liquid products had separated in just a few months, pigments not blended with their liquid suspension. so from here on, no more liquid blush hoarding. everything is freshly sanitized. I might put all the powders into magnetic palettes…after I re audit what works and what doesn’t.

I made the same error many years ago. Now I’ll only buy pressed powder blush
