Pan Those Eyeshadows Project Pan - 2019 Finale

I know I've only been doing this project since April, but I'm going to wrap up my usage of at least these particular shadows. I'm not sure yet if I'll restart in January or if I'll do something totally different, so stay tuned. Here's how the remaining shadows look after one more month of use:

1. "Rose Quartz" from Anastasia Beverly Hills Sultry palette - I hit pan!


2. "Sin" from Urban Decay Naked palette - Still no pan; it would probably take me forever to hit pan on this. I really like it as an inner corner highlight, so I'm still using it. But unofficially.


3. "Light My World" a single from Sydney Grace - I have a significant dip in this, but no pan showing. Considering it's one of the newest shadows in my collection, I'm happy with that.


4. "Dione" a single from NARS - I don't think I had used this at all before putting it into the project, and now it at least looks used. Since I got it at Marshall's I need to make sure I keep using it because it's older than I think it is.


5. "Heavy Water" from Urban Decay Elements palette - I was a bit afraid of this color, and rightly so, as it turns out. An all-over blue eyelid was not a great look for me. But it was decent as a lower lash line pop of color.


I recently changed from a job that was all shift work to a more traditional schedule, so I've been doing my makeup most mornings now, instead of just my off days. So while I'm getting more use out of my collection, I also can't really wear all my colors as much as I once was able to. So the project I choose for 2020 might not be able to be as random if I want any chance of success. I'm running out of time to decide, so I guess we'll see soon enough!

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...

Thoughts on July Purchases

Soooo, these no-buy attempts are not going great. Technically, this month was a "replacement only low buy" so it's not as bad. But most of these are not replacements. Oh, well. Here we go! (in chronological order) ~ L'Oreal Lash Paradise : Not gonna lie, I bought this because of all the hype it was getting. And I was staring at a pile of deluxe sample mascaras that I didn't pick out myself but still felt compelled to use. So I bought a mascara. I actually really like it! It's volumizing without making my lashes look chunky, and it looks good on my lower lashes too. Would probably repurchase after I get through some more samples. ~ Replica Beach Walk : I've gone through two samples of this, and I love it. On me it smells like coconut and honeysuckle, so it's a great spring/summer perfume. It's been going in and out of stock at Sephora, so I snagged it while it was in stock. No Ragrets. ~ NARS vanilla travel size : I actually haven't used th...
