Healthy Habits Challenge - June 2019

Every month I post an update on how I did with "earning" my makeup budget money, and also how I spent it.

Purchases:
~ Kevyn Aucoin Neo Highlighter "Sahara" - $19 - from Marshall's, it was on my "someday" list, then it disappeared from Sephora. So I snatched it up when I saw it.
~ Sally Hansen base coat & nail polish; Seche Vite top coat - $20
~ When sunscreen was 6x points at Ulta, I bought 2 more spray-on sunscreens, but those don't count from this budget since it's a "necessity" that both my husband and I use.
~ I was able to pair my Ulta 20% off coupon with the 40% Too Faced Tutti Frutti collection, so I had a bit of fun at Ulta - lip gloss in the shade "Show Me Your Coconuts" and the "Party Ready Essentials" set that includes a full size Better Than Sex mascara, full size lip gloss in "Grin and Bare It," full size banana cream setting powder, and a mini pineapple sun bronzer - with the combo of sale and coupon (and a gift card I had), it came out to $ 22.41
~ From the same shopping trip as above, I got a lip balm with SPF for my husband and some replacement cotton rounds - those do not come out of this budget.
~ Ulta sent out another 20% off coupon (they were really coming for our money this month), and I used it to buy shampoo and conditioner for my husband (not from this budget) and another one of those Too Faced kits as a gift for someone (also not from this budget).

Books read ($1 per 100 pages)
~ The Kennedy Debutante by Kerri Maher - 368 pages ($3.68)
~ Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J Maas - 992 pages ($9.92)
~ The Assistants by Camille Perri - 288 pages ($2.88)
~ SuperFreakonomics by Steven D. Levitt & Stephen J. Dubner - 270 pages ($2.70)

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
