6 by Spring Project Pan Intro

Wait, didn't you just do a "6 by Something" project pan? Yep. And I'm doing it again.

This is one of the more traditional seasonal project pans I've seen, and six products seemed like a good number for me from the last project (update coming soon). I first got into the makeup community about three years ago in the winter/spring and some of my original loved products are starting to age. I want to use this product to show some love to the older products in my collection. Thus you may see more progress than actual panning throughout this project. I'll start with a picture of all the products together, then I'll get into my goals for each of them.


Seeing them all together, there's a lot of pinky-neutral in here. Hopefully that'll make this extra-usable. 

~ Tarte Tartelette in Bloom: this was my first mid-range eyeshadow palette. I purchased it when I was still in college, so it was very high-end for me at the time. Now it's kind of meh, and I have shadow formulas I prefer over this one. By the end of this project it'll be about three years old and it doesn't smell the same anymore. I want to get as much use out of it as I can and then set it free.


~  NARS Audacious lipstick "Anita" - this lipstick started my love affair with expensive lipstick. The magnetic packaging makes me feel hella fancy and the formula is pretty long-wearing for a bullet lipstick. Alas, she is also getting old, and I want to finish this so it gets all the love it deserves.


~ Bite multistick "Gelato" - I haven't owned this for all that long, but I did get it at TJMaxx/Marshall's/etc so it's probably also a little bit old. I typically use this as a blush, so I haven't made all that much progress on this. I don't anticipate finishing this, but I'd like to be able to draw another line on that paper. That is so sad, but it goes so slowly!


~ Rimmel lipliner "Wild Clover" - I think I can finish this by the end of the project. Famous last words, I know. I already sharpened it after taking this picture because I like a sharp lip liner. And also I'm a dirty cheater.



~ NYX highlighter "Ritualistic": I originally purchased this as a dupe for Becca "Moonstone", which I now own and have nearly finished. I want to expand the pan on this and generally get some more use out of it. It's aging and not performing as well anymore. So if I have to wave goodbye at the end of the project it won't be because I don't like it anymore, it's because it went bad on me - and it definitely saddens me that my collection is now getting to that point.


 ~ L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte foundation "101 Classic Ivory": This is my only drugstore foundation, and it's also my favorite foundation in terms of both shade match and finish. This is the second one I've purchased. It doesn't show on the side of the packaging how much I have left, but it feels light and I think I can finish this by Spring.



The first day of Spring is March 20, 2019 so I'll be ending this project then. I think I'll be doing monthly updates to show my progress, and hopefully I'll have good progress to show!

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...
