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!

Healthy Habits Challenge - February 2020

I have the habit of spending too much of my money on makeup, and spending too much of my time browsing for makeup and consuming makeup-related media. To counteract this, I make myself "earn" my makeup budget by doing things that are better for my mental and physical health. Here's how I did for the month of February: Purchases: ~ I bought a birthday gift for a friend at Ulta - does not come out of budget ~ I repurchased my husband some dental floss (does not come out of this budget) at Sephora and got a Bobbi Brown lip gloss as a point perk - $0 ~ I purchased a full size of YSL Libre perfume since I loved the sample so much (giving myself grace on this purchase this month) and got the UD brow enhancer brow gel in "Brunette Betty" on sale (counts as a replacement since I destashed my other brow gel when it went bad) ~ ABH Jackie Aina palette - it was on sale at Sephora - I used a $20 gift card so I spent $14.10 Books read ($1 per 100 pages) ~ Cress  by M...

November Empties (& 2 bonus pans!)

From top left: Ole Henriksen Sheer Transformation moisturizer (deluxe sample from Sephora Play): this was lightweight and didn't make me feel greasy. I would consider repurchasing this in the full size. Boscia charcoal sheet mask : it was relaxing to do a sheet mask. I guess my face felt softer afterwards? Might repurchase, but there are probably cheaper options out there. Elizabeth & James Nirvana bourbon sample: I love this scent. It's dark and sweet and kind of vanilla. I've already purchased a rollerball of this. Atelier cologne Sud Magnolia sample: this was nice at first. It's kind of an androgynous scent that was a little too strong for me after a while. I would not repurchase this in a larger size. Boscia makeup breakup cleansing oil sample: this was decent at taking off my eye makeup, but I wasn't a huge fan of the white cast it left over my eyes when it got in them. I probably would not purchase a larger size. Lancer face polish foil sample:...
