Pan Those Eyeshadows Project Pan - Intro - April 2019

A few of the beauty Youtubers I watch have been participating in a Pan Those Eyeshadows project pan (namely Too Much Tash and Rebecca Morgan). Instead of picking one palette to work through, the focus is on hitting pan on as many shadows as possible throughout one's entire makeup collection. I made a list of every pan of eyeshadow in my collection, then used a random number generator to choose five shadows to work on over the next month. For context, I have 166 individual pans (ouch).

As I made the list I thought to myself, "Man, I really hope I don't get that shade to hit pan on," and decided that for certain shades I've never been drawn to (nay, never even used) I would have the goal of just using it for a month and then pick another one the next month. Along those lines, the rules I have for myself are as follows:

1) Choose shadows randomly.
2) Shadows chosen already having pan can either be a) finished or b) not used and another shadow randomly chosen in its' place.
3) Shadows remain in project until pan is hit, at which point another is rolled in.
4) Certain shadows can have a "usage only" goal, in that I will try to actually use it for a month, not necessarily to the point of hitting pan, and then another shadow is rolled in.

Here are the shadows I picked to start off with

~ "Dk Navy" from the Lorac Mega Pro 3

~ "Naked" from the Urban Decay Naked palette

~ "Burnt Orange" from the Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam palette

~ "Toasted" from UD Naked
~ "Darkhorse" from UD Naked


This turned out to be a very Naked-heavy month - I promise I picked them randomly. I'm going to go ahead and say "Dk Navy" and "Darkhorse" are usage-only, since I don't usually use those shadows.

And here's what they look like together! Please ignore my hairy arm.

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
