Pan that Palette July Update

I'm not seeing that much more progress from last month. Now that I'm on full-time day shift instead of night shift I'm not getting as much use out of it since I don't do makeup in the morning before work. I'm enjoying using Marina and 5th Ave as inner corner highlight and lower lash line, respectively. Lula is still my transition shade with Violeta in the crease. I'm using fluffier brushes with those two, so I'm hoping that I'll have a pretty big pan when I get down to the bottom. I've also been using either Muse or Bronx once a week. I'm going to get more into those come Fall, but I'm trying to get a head start. August goals - hit pan on Lula, hit side pan on Marina, make Muse look more used

June/July empties

As I mentioned in my previous post, I just went through another location transition. Hence why these updates haven't been at the top of the month like they usually are. This isn't the largest empties I've ever had, but there are quite a few items in here I'd be happy to use again. ~ Clinique take the day off balm - I use this to remove my makeup, before washing my face. I've already repurchased this and will likely continue to do so. ~ Sol de Janeiro brazilian bum bum cream - I do love the scent of this, but I'm not sure if I'd repurchase, just since it's so expensive. I might try the hand cream at some point, since I basically use this as hand cream. ~ Real Techniques sponge - good sponge, but this got a little moldy from travel. The performance also got worse when it got dirty, which was annoying. Will probably repurchase at some point, but I'm enjoying my beauty blender right now. ~ Ole Henriksen sheer transformation moisturizer - I l...

Project Use It Up - June/July Update

I've moved out of my apartment, and have not yet moved out of the state. I've been referring to this period as my "time as a transient hobo" in which I bounce from a friend's house to my parents' place. This is my last stage before I make the big move, so probably the last update before the "finale" in August. I know that pictures of my checklist might not be that interesting, but it helps keep me motivated to use things up. Those top three are just hanging on. I doubt I'll be able to finish the orange spray, but I'm really trying. Still no idea what it's supposed to do. I am seeing an end to the lip gloss though - there are some lasting clear parts in the tube, and it's getting harder to apply. The hand scrub, charcoal scrub, and micellar water are also on their last bits, so I have high hopes for them as well. I'm not sure what else I'll add after that, honestly. Overall it's been nice to work through some o...
