Hi friends!
It’s a new month so that can only mean it’s time for another beauty anti-wishlist! There are tons of new launches coming out this month (what else is new?), but unfortunately not all of them are exciting me. So I present to you a fresh list of 5 beauty items that I am passing on based on personal preferences and other reasons. As always, no disrespect is intended with this post; these are just my personal feelings.
Catch up on my previous anti-wishlists, if you’d like!

MORPHE BRUSHES FLUIDITY FOUNDATION

This is Morphe’s next big launch coming on January 17th and I believe their first foray into complexion products. And it’s going to have…wait for it…60 foundation shades to choose from. Boom. They are also releasing concealers & setting powders on the same day, so this is a huge release for them and a big PR moment, no doubt. But I’m just over here yawning 😆. I’m pretty happy with my current collection of base products, and I’m really not into matte, full-coverage foundations because of my dry skin. I don’t mind full-cover concealers, but certainly not foundations. I’m sure the launch will be amazing for them, but no thanks Morphe.

PHYSICIAN’S FORMULA BUTTER COLLECTION X CASEY HOLMES PALETTE

This is the first influencer collab for Physician’s Formula, but unfortunately I won’t be picking this up anytime soon. The packaging looks a bit bulky (a pet peeve of mine) and when I look at it, I just don’t get excited at all. It’s a palette featuring all of Physician’s Formula Butter products that have been curated by YouTuber Casey Holmes. It includes a bronzer, blush, highlighter, 4 eyeshadows, a lip cream & a perfume. I already have the much-beloved Butter Bronzer, which I do like (read my full review here) but I’m not completely gaga over it like some other people are. I just don’t need any of what this palette offers right now.

BH COSMETICS MINI ZODIAC CAPRICORN PALETTE

I know the shadows from BH Cosmetics are awesome quality, and oh so affordable, but this palette just looks really basic, ya know? And I’m a Capricorn too, I should love this palette! I can only speak for myself of course, and I already have so many brown shadows (both warm & cool) in my collection. I love earthy tones a lot, but this just isn’t doing it for me, sorry BH! The highlighter looks gorgeous but I would never buy this just for one item.

MILANI COSMETICS CONCEAL + PERFECT Longwear CONCEALER

Milani’s new concealer offering goes on sale on January 8th, and honestly if I hadn’t just bought two drugstore concealers last fall (Revlon PhotoReady Candid & Joah Beauty Truly Yours Full Cover), I might get this! I love me a drugstore concealer, but I’m just too stocked up right now. I’ve been curious to try Milani’s complexion products in the past but the shades always seemed to be too dark for me. But the new Conceal + Perfect has 18 shades, so I may have an easier time finding the right shade. According to Trendmood, this has medium-to-full coverage which I do like the sound of, but like I said before, I just have too many concealers to justify another purchase right now.

BENEFIT ROLLER LINER LIQUID eyeLINER

I believe this just became available a few days ago. I’ve been a long-time fan of Benefit’s Roller Lash Mascara, but I’m just not a liquid liner kinda girl. I’m quite horrible at eyeliner to be fair, so I either use a soft pencil or a dark shadow and just smudge it along my lash line to get rid of any imperfections. I don’t think I’ve ever bought a liquid liner in my life now that I think about it, so I’m certainly not about to start now. However if you do love your liquid liner, this does sound like a good one. Supposely the formula is waterproof and therefore quite long-wearing. My mom would probably love this actually.

I cannot do liquid eye liners, either. I’ve tried and I’m not even going to try to explain what I ended up looking like!
Haha! Me neither, same here!
I like the liquid liners if I can keep my hands steady. I am definitely not an artist and keep going back to my brown smudgy drugstore fave. I am needing some concealer so I might try the Milani…I keep seeing it on the shelves 🙂
What’s your fave drugstore liner? I’d love to try the Milani too! Maybe in a few months when I need a new concealer.
The Milani concealer seems like a potential for me and the liquid eyeliner a perhaps when my Stila and Kat Von D liners dry out. I agree with you on the other items. They come across as boring and the Morphe foundation just has TOO many choices, plus it is matte.
I’m actually interested in the Milani too, but just not right now.
This is so nice to know. Thank you for giving your honest opinion!
Of course 😉
I love when you do these, Erica!! One of my biggest pet peeves is bulky packaging, too & I totally agree that the Capricorn palette looks extremely boring!
I know! Glad we’re on the same page 😉
That BH Cosmetics Capricorn palette is the worst!! An insult to Capricorns for sure. And what a way for them to start off these monthly palette releases… doesn’t do much to inspire and excite does it lol.
I love brown, earthy tones so much but as soon as I saw this I was like “yawn, next!” 😆
Yeah this was especially offensive
Yes 😆!
