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 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...

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...

Healthy Habits Challenge - November 2019

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 November: Purchases: ~ Sephora VIB Rouge sale order: gifts x2 (won't list in case I ruin any surprises), Drunk Elephant C-firma serum set (considering this a replacement, since I just finished one), Replica "by the fireplace" travel size perfume (with the sale $22); Dyson air-wrap styler (hair tools and appliances weren't necessarily required to come out of the budget so I'm going to say it doesn't; suffice it to say I'm set on hair appliances for a good long while) ~ Mario Badescu glycolic foaming cleanser - this was a replacement, so it doesn't come out of the budget (I finally made it through my backstock of cleanser!) Books r...
