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...

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...

A Rambly Intro

"Come on, girl! You only have one face!" It's what I tell myself when I start aimlessly shopping for makeup. In the last year, I developed a bit of a shopping addiction, specifically makeup shopping.Writing a blog is my effort to keep myself accountable to start focusing less on buying. I'm going to focus more on using, first and foremost, and then on adding thoughtfully to my makeup wardrobe. This blog is most likely going to be my online makeup-focused diary. I don't have that many people to discuss this with in real life. And somehow posting a blog feels more anonymous than posting on reddit. (If you're interested in any makeup/usage discussion, head to r/makeuprehab or r/muacjdiscussion - some of those subreddit themes will likely influence my ramblings.) Here's a bit what to expect from me: empties posts, reviews, and random thoughts. The word "haul" is dangerous for me, but I might occasionally talk about items I've purchased recent...
