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!

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:...
