Weekly Makeup Basket - November 25, 2018

I'm trying out a few new things this week, which has been a fun contrast from my Project Pan items each week.

Base products:

~ L'Oreal infallible pro matte foundation "101 classic ivory"

~ Becca velvet blurring primer - new item, not sure about its' blurring abilities, but it has been giving my skin a nice texture before applying foundation. It's straight liquid though, and I was not prepared for the force of the pump. My desk was also not prepared. RIP November desk calendar.

~ NARS radiant creamy concealer "light 2 vanilla"

~ Too Faced Peach Mist setting spray

~ L'Oreal infallible pro matte setting powder "100 porcelain" - another new product. This has done a really nice job of keeping me matte during the day. Which is what you would expect, given the name of the line. Since I've been breaking out a bit lately, it's also been nice to have a little extra coverage.

Face products:

~ NARS blush "Orgasm"

~ NYX highlighter "Ritualistic"

~ Benefit Hoola Lite bronzer

Eye products:

~ ABH Master Palette by Mario

~ Tarte Tartelette in Bloom

~ Lorac eyeshadow primer

~ Jesse's Girl liquid eyeliner - I've had this for a while, haven't used it, and just now remembered it's already open. It has a thin brush tip and has been working nicely for me.

~ Urban Decay waterline eyeliner "walk of shame"

~ L'Oreal eyeliner "highlight"

~ Estee Lauder mascara

Brow products:

~ ABH brow wiz "Medium Brown"

~ Benefit gimme brow "03"

Lip products:

~ Bite lipstick "Pepper"

~ Buxom lipgloss "Dolly"

~ Rimmel lipliner "Wild Clover"

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
