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.

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.

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...

Pan that Palette 2018 Finale

My goal for 2018 was to pan the Anastasia Beverly Hills Master Palette by Mario. It's a limited edition palette from Christmas 2016, and it was a gift from my fiance (now husband). Since it's LE, I was hesitant to use particular colors and, to be honest, the palette as a whole - what if I run out and can't use it again?! Once you see my year-end progress, it will become clear that those fears were completely unfounded. Here's where I started the year: You can see some nice dips, and there are clearly shades I enjoy. There are no pans. Here's how I ended the year (please excuse the lighting): Over the course of the year I hit pan on: NYC, Kim, Muse, Marina, Lula, 5th Ave, Bronx, and Paris. I didn't have any goals for using Hollywood or Claudia. I didn't make much visible progress on Isabel or Violeta. A few notes about my makeup usage habits - I work three 12-hour shifts a week as a nurse. At the start of the year, I worked night shif...
