Finish 6 by Christmas - (late) finale!

I know, it's already past both Christmas and New Years' - this is what happens when you work through the holidays. This project went really well! I think six items was a good number for me. I got to play with a variety of products outside of the project so I didn't get too bored, and was still able to get good progress on my project items. Anyway, let's get to it:

1 ~ finish Bite "Pepper"

2 ~ hit pan on Colourpop "Fluffy"

3 ~ hit pan on "Bronx"

4 ~ finish Buxom "Dolly"

5 ~ finish L'Oreal "highlight" eyeliner

6 ~ finish Too Faced Hangover primer

1 ~ "Pepper" - I finished it! I used it until the plastic started to scrape my lips as I applied it. I'm not about to dig out product and apply with a brush. I tried to use the other end of this, "Bronze" but it wasn't flattering on me and I'm happy to move the entire thing out of my collection.

2 ~ "Fluffy" - I reached my goal in the last update and haven't used it since.

3 ~ "Bronx" - I hit pan! It's a speck of pan, but it's there! I love this color, but I got a bit tired of using it after using it every single time I did my makeup.

4 ~ "Dolly" - Another victory! I mentioned in the last update that I would use this until I couldn't get anything out with the applicator, and that happened the next day after I posted the update.

5 ~ "Highlight" - This thing is going to last forever. From looking at the lines, I'm pretty proud of the progress I made, but it looks like it's going to last quite a while.

6 ~ Hangover primer - Finished in a previous update and have since trashed it.

Reaching five out of six goals ain't too shabby! Here's hoping my next project goes this well!

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
