12 Pans of Christmas [finale]


1) Urban Decay Revolution lipstick "stark naked" - finished by previous update

2) Sephora gel lipliner "rose wine"- didn't manage to finish this one, and that's okay. I didn't really have a framework for how long a lip liner takes to use up. I'll keep using this, but not as aggressively as I have been.



3) Givenchy mascara sample - I'm going to consider this done since I'll be tossing it at the end of the month. It's starting to dry out on me a little bit. I enjoyed using it, but not enough to want to repurchase. Again, no update picture for this since it's still an opaque mascara tube.

4) Two BB cream sample jars - I finished the Dr Jart++ by the last update and finished the Laura Mercier not long after the update. I definitely prefer the Dr Jart++ and have been using a full size my friend de-stashed to me. The Laura Mercier one felt a bit too greasy on my face, so I would not purchase that one. (no picture for this since I don't feel like finding the generic empty sample jar from my empties bag - you'll see it in my monthly empties post)

5) Ole Henriksen sheer transformation moisturizer - finished by the last update.

6) Josie Maran finishing balm DS - finished by the last update

7) Nars "Goulue" blush DS - My goal was to have this look used, and I did not succeed. This blush will outlive me. I'm now convinced I'll never need to buy a full sized Nars blush. So I guess that part is a win.



8) Lorac Pro "taupe" - I hit pan!



9) Lorac Pro "espresso" - I did not manage to hit pan on this, but it looks like I'm pretty close.



10) Lorac Pro"nude" - I didn't hit pan on this either, but there's a dent there that wasn't there before. Even though I didn't meet two of my goals for this palette, I feel like I got some solid use out of the palette as a whole just from using it for two months. I can put this back in my collection feeling satisfied.



11) Nars Audacious lipstick "Mona" - I wore this twice. It's a good red, and I don't need another. I just need to keep wearing this one when the red mood strikes.



12) Marc Jacobs lipstick "slow burn" - I didn't finish this, but I made a good dent by using it exclusively for a month or so. I'm ready to use some other lip products, so I'm going to take a break from panning this one, but might go back to it in the future.



Final count - 6/12 goals hit.
I would have liked to see more pan in the Lorac Pro, but overall I'm satisfied with how I did in this project. I'm going to enjoy playing with the rest of my makeup for a while, but I'll be on the lookout for another seasonal project pan to tag along with.

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...

November Empties (& 2 bonus pans!)

From top left: Ole Henriksen Sheer Transformation moisturizer (deluxe sample from Sephora Play): this was lightweight and didn't make me feel greasy. I would consider repurchasing this in the full size. Boscia charcoal sheet mask : it was relaxing to do a sheet mask. I guess my face felt softer afterwards? Might repurchase, but there are probably cheaper options out there. Elizabeth & James Nirvana bourbon sample: I love this scent. It's dark and sweet and kind of vanilla. I've already purchased a rollerball of this. Atelier cologne Sud Magnolia sample: this was nice at first. It's kind of an androgynous scent that was a little too strong for me after a while. I would not repurchase this in a larger size. Boscia makeup breakup cleansing oil sample: this was decent at taking off my eye makeup, but I wasn't a huge fan of the white cast it left over my eyes when it got in them. I probably would not purchase a larger size. Lancer face polish foil sample:...
