This project is part of my effort to get visible progress out of my makeup. I randomly selected five shadows to start, and as soon as I reach my goal (usually hitting pan), I can rotate in a different randomly-selected shadow. Here's how I did over the past month:
1) "Sin" from Urban Decay Naked palette - Still here, trucking along. I can't see a ton of progress on this, but I'm still using it every time I do my eye makeup as my inner corner highlight.
2) "Rose Quartz" from Anastasia Beverly Hills Sultry palette - I feel like I've been super close to hitting pan on this for a while. Since I've been using my fingers to apply, I've made a wider dip more than a deep one, so hopefully I'll be able to hit pan this upcoming month.
3&4) "Light My World" (right) & "Wildlife" (left) singles by Sydney Grace - I'm still loving "Light My World" both over a green base and by itself. I can only really wear this on days I don't go to work, so I'm making slower progress. I said last month that I'd feel out "Wildlife" since it's a newer shade in my collection. Verdict: it's pretty patchy and I don't enjoy it that much. I won't keep this in the project, and something new will roll in to replace it.
5) "Dione" single by NARS - This applies as a sheer taupe, and has been a good work color. I'm happy to keep using this, but I suspect it will take a long time to actually hit pan.
Since I'm not continuing to use "Wildlife" I get to roll in another randomly-selected shadow. Drumroll, please...
"Heavy Water" from Urban Decay Elements palette. I've been hoping I would get a shade from this palette, and of course it would be the teal. This might be another one-month wonder, but I'm looking forward to playing with this one.
Here's what I'll be working with during the next month

Goals for the next month:
hit pan on "Rose Quartz"
don't be afraid of blue eyeshadow
