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!

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 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...

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...
