I know I'm a little late posting this one, and I've made some changes since taking this picture on Sunday. So I'll have a few thoughts in addition to the product lists.

Pan that Palette September 2018 Update

I hit pan on "Muse"! And the pan in "Marina" looks slightly bigger than my last update. I'm obviously not going to finish this by the end of the year and panning palettes may not really be my jam. Anyhow, here's what the palette looks like now: Goals going forward: ~ see more use on "Bronx" and "Violeta" ~ hit pan on "Lula" ~ side pan on "Paris"

Finish 5 by Fall - finale

I know this was a short project, but here are my results! 1) Bobbi Brown "Babe" has lived in my purse this month. I think I applied it a few times, but I did pitifully on this product. I ended up being more drawn to my Buxom VaVa Plump in "wine me" which is a dark pink/berry and that should be done in a few days. So some  lip product progress, but not as much as intended. Not enough progress to show a picture. Also I forgot what purse I put it in. Oops. 2) Becca SSP pressed "Moonstone" - I can see the pan, but that might be due more to air bubbles from repressing rather than true progress. 3) ABH Master Palette by Mario, "Lula" - still no pan. I'm going to keep using it as part of my Pan that Palette, so stay tuned. 4) finish "cream" from the original Lorac Pro - complete! I can't reach the little bits in the corners with my brush anymore, and I can't be bothered to repress that little for a second time. 5) ...

Weekly Makeup Basket - Sept 16, 2018

Now that I've gotten settled into my new place, I've been able to organize my setup a little bit better. I love watching "shop my stash" and "weekly makeup basket videos" so I'm going to try my hand at it - blog style. I got a small plastic bin from Bed, Bath, & Beyond and I've been using it to hold my makeup for the week. The pencils are on the side since they normally live in my brush cup. There also aren't lipsticks in the basket since I'm giving myself the freedom to pick from my larger organizer each day. I'll post the picture and leave the product list below: Base products : ~Fenty Beauty pro filt'r primer, ~Fenty Beauty foundation (shade 120), ~Sephora bright future gel concealer (shade 04 buttercream), ~Laura Mercier translucent loose setting powder, ~Too Faced peach mist Face products : ~Benefit watt's up (applied over primer, under foundation), ~Becca SSP Moonstone, ~Bite Multistick (Gelato), ~Benefit...
