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!

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

Pan that Palette March Update

So last month my goals were to hit pan on "5th Ave" and "Marina" and I did not meet them. I did, however, hit pan on "NYC" and I'm happy to have something to show for my time with this thing. Since I used mostly "Marina" and "Paris" I think I have bigger dips in them, but it's hard to say for sure. Anyway, here's a picture: For this next month's goals, I'm going big - I want to hit pan on "Marina," "Paris," and "5th Ave." Again, we'll see. I'm still working away at "Lula" since I use it in the crease, but it doesn't take very much to do what I need it to do.

February 2018 Empties

I have a couple products in here I'm particularly proud to have finished up. It was a very productive month considering it was the shortest! Clockwise from top left: ~ Marc Jacobs "Decadence" and "Divine Decadence" foil sample card - I honestly can't tell the difference between these two scents, but I do like them. They had a sweet, slightly floral scent. The fiance isn't the biggest fan though, so I would not purchase a larger size. ~ YSL "Mon Paris" sample - I thought I would like this more than I did. It's also a sweet floral, but once on my skin it started to smell more powdery and chemical-y. Would not purchase. ~ Elizabeth and James "Nirvana Black" DS rollerball - I've had this for a while, and I think it started to go off on me. It's a warm and spicy scent that I used to enjoy more. Might repurchase. ~ Too Faced lip injection glossy "Milkshake" - This was a surprise love from last February
