Project Use It Up - May 2018 update

I made some changes to my lineup over the course of the month. I chose to remove the Very Hollywood perfume in exchange for using up as many perfume samples as I could. I also made the Skin Laundry cleanser into my travel cleanser, so I'm not going to try to use it every day to finish it. So that's why those two items are crossed off instead of checked off. I'm not feeling taking pictures for this month, so here's my updated checklist below.

~ I'll talk about what I finished when I do my empties post. Stay tuned.

~ That orange spray is really hanging on. I'm still not sure what it's supposed to do, but I've been using it every day after washing my face so I made good progress this month.

~ The highlighter eyeliner is slowly getting shorter. It's been a good base for my inner corner eye shadow.

~ It's so hard to see progress on lip gloss. I can kind of see down the tube if I hold it up to the light, but I suspect it'll hold on for a while more.

~ FitMe concealer will probably be gone in the next month, yay! It's getting harder to get product on the wand and I'm not a remove-the-stopper kind of gal.

~ The Ole Henriksen moisturizer will also probably be gone in the next month. I've started using it on my neck as well to move through it a little faster.

~ I've been burning that candle constantly, and it bothers me that it's not gone yet. My stepmom de-stashed it to us since she didn't like the scent, but we've been enjoying it.

~ The Brow Wiz is still pretty new, so I'll keep on with that one. It got a little hard on the airplane, so I had to scrape off a bit of product to make it usable again.

~ The last three were added in today since I realized I hadn't been keeping up with adding as things get finished. The lipstick is a mini, the eye cream is almost gone, and I haven't worn that perfume in years. So we'll see how it goes!

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 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...
