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.

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...

November Empties (& 2 bonus pans!)

From top left: Ole Henriksen Sheer Transformation moisturizer (deluxe sample from Sephora Play): this was lightweight and didn't make me feel greasy. I would consider repurchasing this in the full size. Boscia charcoal sheet mask : it was relaxing to do a sheet mask. I guess my face felt softer afterwards? Might repurchase, but there are probably cheaper options out there. Elizabeth & James Nirvana bourbon sample: I love this scent. It's dark and sweet and kind of vanilla. I've already purchased a rollerball of this. Atelier cologne Sud Magnolia sample: this was nice at first. It's kind of an androgynous scent that was a little too strong for me after a while. I would not repurchase this in a larger size. Boscia makeup breakup cleansing oil sample: this was decent at taking off my eye makeup, but I wasn't a huge fan of the white cast it left over my eyes when it got in them. I probably would not purchase a larger size. Lancer face polish foil sample:...
