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!

November 2017 Empties

I'm happy with my skincare progress this past month. My system for using up perfume samples is also still going well, even though the darn things keep coming in. Per usual, here's a picture to be followed by mini-reviews and thoughts: ~ Stella McCartney sample card - I remember this as being a nice floral. Something I would use a sample of, but not necessarily buy. ~ J'Adore by Dior sample card - this smells like perfume to me. I couldn't really discern any specific notes. That said, it smells nice. I probably would not purchase this, partly because it doesn't come in a rollerball. ~ Elizabeth & James Nirvana Amethyst sample - The tobacco flower notes made me smell a bit like a smoker. A powdery smoker. Would not purchase. ~ Josie Maran finishing balm - will discuss in project pan update ~ Urban Decay "Stark Naked" - will discuss in project pan update ~ Maybelline FitMe concealer in 15/fair - This grew on me. It looks a bit too warm right of...

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...

Empties - June 2019

This past month, I came for my skincare foil samples with a vengeance. So this empties is, as always, mostly skincare with a little bit of makeup and haircare. ~ Exuviance performance peel - This is a two step kind of deal with an activated pad and a neutralizer pad. This sample contained one use, and I didn't see much of a change. I'm also in my 20s and am probably not the target audience. Wouldn't repurchase at this time. ~ boscia Clarifying Detox mask - Clay mask that dries on your face - meh. My skin felt maybe a little cleaner, but no other improvements. It was nice to use, but I probably wouldn't buy this again. I bought it at TJ Maxx a while ago, so goodness knows how old it is. ~ Mango Coconut Guava lotion - I have two sets of mini lotions like this from my family. So you can expect to see more little bottles like this. It smelled nice and has a thin texture, which is nice for the summer. I have seven more of these, so no need to repurchase anything righ...
