Healthy Habits Challenge - January 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 January:

Purchases:
~ I impulse-purchased a nail polish at the grocery store - $5
~ Too Faced Sparkling Pineapple eyeshadow palette - another Marshall's find - $15
~ Pacifica nail polish "Abalone" - I had a coupon at Ulta - $7

Books read ($1 per 100 pages)
~ Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - 322 pages ($3.22)

Exercise ($1 per workout class attended or $4 per hour of other exercise)
~ 1/2/20 - Orange Theory class - $1
~ 1/3/20 - Orange Theory class - $1
~ 1/6/20 - Orange Theory class - $1
~ 1/8/20 - Orange Theory class - $1
~ 1/10/20 - Orange Theory class - $1
~ 1/13/20 - Orange Theory class - $1
~ 1/15/20 - Orange Theory class - $1
~ 1/17/20 - Orange Theory class - $1
~ 1/19/20 - 1h walk outside - $4
~ 1/20/20 - Orange Theory class - $1
~ 1/22/20 - Orange Theory class - $1
~ 1/23/20 - Orange Theory class - $1

~ 1/27/20 - Orange Theory class - $1
~ 1/29/20 - Orange Theory class - $1
~ 1/31/20 - Orange Theory class - $1

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...
