Pan those Eyeshadows Project Pan - July 2019 update

In April 2019 I chose five eyeshadows with a randomizer app that I'd use consistently until hitting pan. As I hit pan, I roll those shadows out and randomly choose others to replace them. Over the past month, I've had two eyeshadow looks I bounce back and forth between - super orange and super neutral. Once we get into the five eyeshadows I had to work with, you'll see why.

1) "Naked" from Urban Decay Naked
2) "Toasted" from Urban Decay Naked
3) "Burnt Orange" from Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam
4) "Chauffeur" from Colourpop Yes Please
5) the "definer" shade on the left side of Wet n Wild Comfort Zone


 1) "Naked" - The saga continues. This lives here now.


2) "Toasted" - I think the dip is getting deeper? This was the lid shade for the neutral look, and I'm still enjoying this.


3) "Burnt Orange" - Why is this still here? Everyone who talks about how easy it is to pan ABH shadows - that has not been my experience with this shade. That being said, I've been more aggressive about using this shade this past month. I started using a more pointed, thicker brush to apply this to my crease and outer corner, so hopefully I'll start making quicker progress on this.


4) "Chauffeur" - In the pan and in a swatch, this looks like a ridiculous bright orange, and I was not ready for this. However, when I use a brush to apply it to my eyelid, it looks more like a gold-orange, and paired really nicely with "Burnt Orange." I may get sick of using this, but for now I'm pretty happy with it.


5) Left side "definer" - as a darker shadow, this fell into the category of shadows I would roll in for only one month at a time. I focused on the "D" area, but there's little to no progress to show. I'm glad I got to get this palette out, but am ready to not need to use this shade. It shows up black/gray on the eye, not sparkly brown, so meh.


Since I was able to cycle out the "definer" shade, I got to randomly choose another shade to add in. And I promise it was random. I got "Sin" from the Urban Decay Naked palette. Which you can see in the update picture for "Naked" but I'll put the photo below so you don't have to scroll.

I guess I know what shade is going in my inner corner for the rest of my life.
Since this is the third shade from the same palette, I randomized a few more times just to see what I would get. I randomly chose "Orange Soda" from Soft Glam, then "Champs" from Yes Please, and finally "Sweetheart" from Tartelette in Bloom before I gave up. The universe knows what it wants, apparently.

Here's the family photo of this coming month:


I did also hit a bonus pan this past month! I've been using "Tempera" from ABH Soft Glam to set my eyeshadow primer each day. Since hitting pan on this one, I've moved on to "Full Zip" in Yes Please (just to have some consistent use on something while this palette is in the project).

Fire & Ice Project Pan [Update #1]

 The youtubers are uploading their updates, so here I am, tagging along for update #1! I think I had a pretty successful first month. I also used mostly deluxe sized samples, but eh, I'll take the morale boost. ~ Fire item: Firecracker from the Tartelette in Bloom palette. My goal for the first update was to wear down some of the lettering on it, and I made a decent-looking dent in the first few letters! I'm more of a stab my brush in one place until I see the pan kind of person rather than an even use kind of person, so I probably won't wear down the other letters. I've been wearing this as my lid shade for most of the days I wear makeup, so my next goal is to continue doing that. I suspect I might start to get sick of it, so hopefully I'll be able to keep going with it. ~ Ice item: Tarte smooth operator loose setting powder (deluxe sample size). My goal for this update was to be able to make another line to mark my progress. Unfortunately, the way I get the pro...

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...

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...
