Pan Those Eyeshadows Project Pan - Intro - April 2019

A few of the beauty Youtubers I watch have been participating in a Pan Those Eyeshadows project pan (namely Too Much Tash and Rebecca Morgan). Instead of picking one palette to work through, the focus is on hitting pan on as many shadows as possible throughout one's entire makeup collection. I made a list of every pan of eyeshadow in my collection, then used a random number generator to choose five shadows to work on over the next month. For context, I have 166 individual pans (ouch).

As I made the list I thought to myself, "Man, I really hope I don't get that shade to hit pan on," and decided that for certain shades I've never been drawn to (nay, never even used) I would have the goal of just using it for a month and then pick another one the next month. Along those lines, the rules I have for myself are as follows:

1) Choose shadows randomly.
2) Shadows chosen already having pan can either be a) finished or b) not used and another shadow randomly chosen in its' place.
3) Shadows remain in project until pan is hit, at which point another is rolled in.
4) Certain shadows can have a "usage only" goal, in that I will try to actually use it for a month, not necessarily to the point of hitting pan, and then another shadow is rolled in.

Here are the shadows I picked to start off with

~ "Dk Navy" from the Lorac Mega Pro 3

~ "Naked" from the Urban Decay Naked palette

~ "Burnt Orange" from the Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam palette

~ "Toasted" from UD Naked
~ "Darkhorse" from UD Naked


This turned out to be a very Naked-heavy month - I promise I picked them randomly. I'm going to go ahead and say "Dk Navy" and "Darkhorse" are usage-only, since I don't usually use those shadows.

And here's what they look like together! Please ignore my hairy arm.

Healthy Habits Challenge - February 2020

I have the habit of spending too much of my money on makeup, and spending too much of my time browsing for makeup and consuming makeup-related media. To counteract this, I make myself "earn" my makeup budget by doing things that are better for my mental and physical health. Here's how I did for the month of February: Purchases: ~ I bought a birthday gift for a friend at Ulta - does not come out of budget ~ I repurchased my husband some dental floss (does not come out of this budget) at Sephora and got a Bobbi Brown lip gloss as a point perk - $0 ~ I purchased a full size of YSL Libre perfume since I loved the sample so much (giving myself grace on this purchase this month) and got the UD brow enhancer brow gel in "Brunette Betty" on sale (counts as a replacement since I destashed my other brow gel when it went bad) ~ ABH Jackie Aina palette - it was on sale at Sephora - I used a $20 gift card so I spent $14.10 Books read ($1 per 100 pages) ~ Cress  by M...

December Empties

I finished 7 products in December, including 1 makeup product instead of all skincare! ~ Clinique take the day off cleansing balm sephora sample: It was odorless, and just oily enough to efficiently remove my eye makeup and mascara. Bonus, it didn't irritate my eyes. I got the full size for Christmas, but I'm going to try to make some progress on my Pond's cream before I crack into it. ~ Peter Thomas Roth pumpkin enzyme mask sample: I got the pack of deluxe sizes to try, and this mask took so long to finish, I'd never buy a full size. It smelled just like a pumpkin treat, so I enjoyed using it up in the fall/winter. ~ Too Cool for School egg mellow cream lotion: I used this as my morning moisturizer. It had a faintly sweet-lemon scent, which I enjoyed. The pump was nice, but I didn't know how much I had left until I went to pump it and it was empty :( ~ Clinique Welcome Wednesday deluxe lipstick from Christmas 2015: finally! I loved the brown-pink color, bu...

December 2018 Empties

Y'all. This month looks pitiful compared to past months. I suspect it's because I've mainly been using full-sized skincare so I'm not blazing through as much as I have been. ~ It cosmetics secret sauce moisturizer sample - was a little too much for my oily skin. would not repurchase. ~ Mario Badescu herbal rehydrating serum sample set - this was a gel moisturizer, so it's no surprise that I liked this one. Might try it again in the future, but I have a lot of moisturizer to go through first. ~ 2 Sephora samples of Commodity Gold perfume - this is a warm, sweet scent that I really enjoy and I currently have a travel-size spray. ~ Living Proof perfect hair day shampoo - if you remember when I finished the conditioner, you'll recall that I hated this pair of shampoo and conditioner and I used it up as a shaving cream. Would not repurchase. ~ Estee Lauder sumptuous infinite mascara - this has a plastic bristle brush, which I normally don't like, but...
