Pan those Eyeshadows project pan - June 2019 update

For the past month, I've been focusing on using five randomly-chosen eyeshadow shades in my collection with the intent of hitting more pan throughout my collection. The shadows I used May-June were:

1) "Naked" from Urban Decay Naked
2) "Toasted" from Urban Decay Naked
3) "Burnt Orange" from Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam
4) "Pewter" from Lorac Pro
5) "Muse" from Anastasia Beverly Hills Master Palette by Mario

This is the part where I show pictures of slightly deeper dips and ask you to clap for me.

1) "Naked" - The dip is getting a bit bigger, I think. I've continued using this as my transition shade and to line under my eyes. This will take a while.



2) "Toasted" - Yep, this'll take a while too. Another tightly-pressed shade that was practically untouched at the beginning of the project. I'm enjoying using this as my shimmery lid shade, but I was all-too-ready to ditch it to use "Pewter" for a change.



3) "Burnt Orange" - I need to get more adventurous with using this shade. It's powdery enough that it should not be looking as unused as it is. I have been using it as my crease shade, and I think I'll start using it as my outer corner shade as well. I'll be rocking some very warm looks for summer.



4) "Pewter" - I actually hit pan on this! I had been working on this one before it got added to the project, so I'm glad I finally got to power through. This is one of my older palettes, so it was nice to get some more use out of it. I also hit pan on "Nude" by using it nearly every day as my inner corner highlight.


(and the bonus pan in "Nude")



5) "Muse" - Since I previously hit pan on this one, I'm only rolling it in for a month. I think I expanded the pan a little bit, and I always enjoy using this palette.



Since I hit pan on one shade and only temporarily rolled in another, I get to choose two shadows at random for this coming month.

1) Left-sided "definer" shade from Wet n Wild Comfort Zone - These shades don't have names, hence my lame, location-descriptive name. I have not had good experiences with this shade, so it's going to be in the project for one month then rotated back out.



2) "Chauffer" from Colourpop Yes Please - It's the middle shade on the bottom row, pictured here. Unfortunately, I think I've only used this shade maybe once or twice. Hopefully it will go nicely with "Burnt Orange." I see a very orange summer in my future.



Here's the color palette I'll be working with for the next month:


It looks like we're moving from warm neutrals to Jack O'Lantern eyes. I don't think I'm here for it, but we'll see.

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...

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...

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...
