6 By Spring Project Pan - Finale

I picked some pretty ambitious I-just-want-to-see-some-progress kind of products for this project, so I don't have any new products finished up, but I do have some progress to show! ~ Tarte Tartelette In Bloom - When I added this palette, it was intended to be more of a last hurrah before I threw it out guilt-free. However, through this project I rediscovered how much I enjoy using this palette, mainly the mattes in the palette. I have a more noticeable dent in "jetsetter" and I actually used the dark colors in the far right column. At some point during the project I stopped using the sharp liner brush for my lower lash line shadow and started using a stubby smudger brush and I like the effect so much more. I'll be keeping this palette around - mostly as a companion palette for my all shimmer palettes - and I'm glad I took the time to get to know it better. ~ Becca shimmering skin perfecter pressed "Moonstone" - I re-pressed this after the last

February 2019 Empties

Decent bit of products out this past month. Some of these were a while in the making, so I'm happy to be moving things out. ~ Living Proof perfect hair day dry shampoo - I've discovered that I don't like most Living Proof products, but I did enjoy this. I'd use up more deluxe sizes, but I doubt I'll buy a full size in the future. ~ Ole Henriksen truth facial water - This is the old packaging, purchased at TJ Maxx just because of the brand name, not from any real desire for the product itself (mistake). Will not repurchase. I'm still working through another facial spray I bought at the same time. ~ Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream - Y'all know I love a lightweight gel moisturizer, and I already have a full size of this waiting in the wings. ~ Sephora sample of Replica "By the Fireplace" - This has been and is still a favorite of mine, and I'll probably buy this at some point. ~ First Aid Beauty ultra repair face moisturizer

Healthy Habits Challenge (& No-Buy update) - February 2019

Purchases: ~ Elizabeth & James Nirvana Bourbon - $51 - it's being discontinued, and I had always intended to buy a full size after finishing the rollerball. I wasn't ready to part ways with the scent yet, and didn't want to end up hoarding the rollerball, so I got it ~ My husband bought me the Natasha Denona Mini Star Palette for Valentine's Day, so it's a new item to my collection but I won't count it in my money tally. Books read ($1 per 100 pages) ~ Heart of Texas: Volume 2  by Debbie Macomber - 399 pages ($3.99) ~ American Eden  by Victoria Johnson - 70 pages ($0.71) I couldn't get into this one. ~ Homegoing  by Yaa Gyasi - 310 pages ($3.10) - LOVED, highly recommend. Exercise ($5 per workout video, from the BeachBody line of workout videos) ~ 02/01/19 - "Cardio Fix" from 21 Day Fix series - $5 ~ 02/04/19 - 1h walk - $5 ~ 02/21/19 - 1h walk - $5 ~ 02/22/19 - "Dirty 30" from 21 Day Fix series - $5 ~ 02/23/19 - 1h walk
