Weekly Makeup Basket - January 06, 2019

This is the week in which you'll start seeing my Project Pan items...over and over again. Sorry bout it. My plan is to pair the Tartelette in Bloom with a different companion palette each week. I'm just really not the biggest fan of the Tarte shimmers. And from seeing my makeup baskets each week you probably already know that I like to sparkle. Anyway, here's this week's basket:

Base products:

~ Laura Mercier foundation primer "radiance"

~ L'Oreal pro-matte foundation "101 classic ivory"

~ Cover FX power play concealer "P light 2"

~ Too Faced Peach Mist setting spray

Face products:

~ Bite multistick "Gelato"

~ NYX highlighter "Ritualistic"

~ Benefit Hoola Lite

~ L'Oreal infallible pro-matte powder "100 porcelain"

Eye products:

~ Tarte Tartelette in Bloom

~ ABH Soft Glam palette - this has been pairing well with the In Bloom, but the looks have been pretty similar.

~ Clinique pretty easy eyeliner "01 black"

~ UD walk of shame waterline eyeliner

~ L'Oreal eyeliner "highlight"

~ Dior Diorshow Pump 'N' Volume mascara - just started this mini, I think it was a point perk from Sephora. It's a little clumpier than I normally like, and I'm going to feel ridiculous typing that name out each week until I finish it.

~ Lorac eyeshadow primer

Brow products:

~ ABH brow definer "medium brown" - I know the brow wiz is more popular, but I've been finding this one easier to work with.

~ ABH tinted brow gel "espresso"

Lip products:

~ Rimmel lipliner "Wild Clover"

~ NARS Audacious lipstick "Anita"

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...

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...

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...
