Go For The Goal - Project Pan Intro


For 2020, I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and try to do a year-long project pan. If you've read my previous "yearly goal" type posts, you'll know that I tend to do pretty much anything other than what I say I'll do in my goals post. So I'm going to ease into it. I recently joined the Pantastic Ladies Collab group on Facebook, and they're doing a "Go for the Goal" project pan this year. Here's the official description:

This project is solely to reach a predetermined goal for any product in your collection. Start with 4-6 products and once you hit goal on that item, roll it out and roll in a new item to work on. This is designed to make progress on your progress without the stress of trying to finish anything. You can mark the halfway/quarter/etc point and work towards that goal or whatever goal works best for you. This is a way to rotate through all of your products and give them all the love they deserve.

I'm starting with 5 products. My goal is to keep this to mostly makeup products. I've done a pretty good job of paring down my skincare backups, so I should be able to have empties from natural use. There may be a perfume here or there, we'll see.


  1. Mac Fix+ mini - This wasn't originally a product I liked, but the fine sprayer on it has really grown on me! My goal is to finish this completely - I currently have about 25% left.

2. NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer (light 2, vanilla) - I feel like I'm really close to the end of this because not a whole lot comes out on the wand when I apply it. I have very limited faith in my ability to remove the stopper, so this may be finished soon.

3. Beauty by Popsugar lipgloss mini (Be the Boss) - I got this as a free gift with purchase at Ulta, and it's super tiny. It's a somewhat opaque dark pink gloss, and I've been applying it at work. Hopefully I'll be able to finish this by the next update.

4. Laura Mercier Matte Radiance baked powder (Highlight 01) - This is a mini size I got in a 500-point set from Sephora. It's a baked highlighter that looks really pretty on my skin, but I haven't reached for it enough. My goal is to hit pan, and I have no idea how long that will take.

5. Rimmel lip liner (Wild Clover) - My gosh, this has been in so many projects. It's my oldest lipliner, and it's time for it to go. I've been applying all over my lips, which might be cheating (I'm sure my now-neglected lipsticks think so at least). Based on past progress, this may take me all year, but I hope that won't be the case.


Next official update will be at the end of January/beginning of February.

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...

November Empties (& 2 bonus pans!)

From top left: Ole Henriksen Sheer Transformation moisturizer (deluxe sample from Sephora Play): this was lightweight and didn't make me feel greasy. I would consider repurchasing this in the full size. Boscia charcoal sheet mask : it was relaxing to do a sheet mask. I guess my face felt softer afterwards? Might repurchase, but there are probably cheaper options out there. Elizabeth & James Nirvana bourbon sample: I love this scent. It's dark and sweet and kind of vanilla. I've already purchased a rollerball of this. Atelier cologne Sud Magnolia sample: this was nice at first. It's kind of an androgynous scent that was a little too strong for me after a while. I would not repurchase this in a larger size. Boscia makeup breakup cleansing oil sample: this was decent at taking off my eye makeup, but I wasn't a huge fan of the white cast it left over my eyes when it got in them. I probably would not purchase a larger size. Lancer face polish foil sample:...
