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.

November 2017 Empties

I'm happy with my skincare progress this past month. My system for using up perfume samples is also still going well, even though the darn things keep coming in. Per usual, here's a picture to be followed by mini-reviews and thoughts: ~ Stella McCartney sample card - I remember this as being a nice floral. Something I would use a sample of, but not necessarily buy. ~ J'Adore by Dior sample card - this smells like perfume to me. I couldn't really discern any specific notes. That said, it smells nice. I probably would not purchase this, partly because it doesn't come in a rollerball. ~ Elizabeth & James Nirvana Amethyst sample - The tobacco flower notes made me smell a bit like a smoker. A powdery smoker. Would not purchase. ~ Josie Maran finishing balm - will discuss in project pan update ~ Urban Decay "Stark Naked" - will discuss in project pan update ~ Maybelline FitMe concealer in 15/fair - This grew on me. It looks a bit too warm right of...

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...

Empties - June 2019

This past month, I came for my skincare foil samples with a vengeance. So this empties is, as always, mostly skincare with a little bit of makeup and haircare. ~ Exuviance performance peel - This is a two step kind of deal with an activated pad and a neutralizer pad. This sample contained one use, and I didn't see much of a change. I'm also in my 20s and am probably not the target audience. Wouldn't repurchase at this time. ~ boscia Clarifying Detox mask - Clay mask that dries on your face - meh. My skin felt maybe a little cleaner, but no other improvements. It was nice to use, but I probably wouldn't buy this again. I bought it at TJ Maxx a while ago, so goodness knows how old it is. ~ Mango Coconut Guava lotion - I have two sets of mini lotions like this from my family. So you can expect to see more little bottles like this. It smelled nice and has a thin texture, which is nice for the summer. I have seven more of these, so no need to repurchase anything righ...
