Weekly Makeup Basket - January 13, 2019

This is apparently palette week. And another project pan week. I'm hoping all the fun colors in this week's companion palette will get me out of the rose-gold rut I've been in.

Base products:
~ L'Oreal pro matte foundation "101 classic ivory"
~ NARS radiant creamy concealer "Vanilla"
~ Hourglass Veil Mineral primer foil
~ Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray

Face products:
~ NYX highlighter "Ritualistic"
~ Bite multistick "Gelato"
~ Hourglass Ambient Lighting edit volume 4 - using this for the bronzer and the setting powders. I'm honestly not sure if I know how to use these correctly. They're allegedly supposed to turn me into a beauty goddess, and I haven't seen that effect yet, but I'll keep you posted.

Eye products:
~ Tarte Tartelette in Bloom
~ Urban Decay Elements eyeshadow palette - it's been a hot minute since I've used this one. I feel a little silly buying it at full price when it first came out since it was on super sale by the end of the year. I'm happy to have it, but I totally could have waited. I like all the color choices and I don't need another colorful palette.
~ Lorac eye primer
~ Urban Decay waterline eyeliner "walk of shame"
~ L'Oreal eyeliner "highlight"
~ Jesse's Girl liquid eyeliner
~ Dior Diorshow Pump N Volume mascara

Brow products:
~ ABH brow wiz "Medium Brown"
~ Benefit Gimme Brow "03"

Lip products:
~ Rimmel lip liner "Wild Clover"
~ NARS Audacious lipstick "Anita"

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...
