6 By Spring Project Pan

6 By Spring Project Pan - Update #2

I went on vacation for a week this past month. During that week, I a) didn't bring all the project items with me and b) didn't wear makeup all that month.

~ Tarte Tartelette in Bloom: man, these pans are firmly pressed. Or I don't wear enough eyeshadow. Probably a combination of the two. Same dips in the same shades, except maybe slightly deeper? I tried.

~ NARS Audacious lipstick "Anita": I was hoping to get through the "R" and into the "S" on the side of the bullet. Clearly, I didn't get there. Probably won't finish this in the month I have left, but I'm happy to see steady progress.

~ Bite multistick "Gelato": After giving this a closer I look, I'm beginning to question the progress line I drew last month. I feel like I junked up the sides of it, but have made no progress on the top (except some weird hard pan-like buildup). I'm getting a little bored of it, so I didn't bring this with me on vacation. I'll keep on with it through the end of the project, but I don't think I'll see much more progress.

~ Rimmel lipliner "Wild Clover": More steady progress, so I'm happy with that. I'll keep using it to see where I get.

~ Becca Shimmering Skin Perfecter Pressed "Moonstone": This is a travel size that was already re-pressed once. Nevertheless, I'm happy to see expanded pan. I'm getting to the point where I might re-press it again since the pan is pretty much the shape and size of my brush, so now I'm doing some creating angling to get product. As a side note, I have to make a conscious effort to add the hyphen to "re-press" since talking about repressing your makeup is a different story altogether.

~ L'Oreal Pro-matte foundation "101 - Classic Ivory": If you read my empties post, you already know that I finished this about 2 days after posting my last update. It really was my favorite foundation, and I'll likely repurchase it at some point. I'm not going to roll anything in to replace it.

Goals for next month:
~ make it to the "S" on Anita
~ re-press and progress on Moonstone
~ keep on keepin' on with everything else

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
