CROSSING 6 OFF OUR CHRISTMAS LIST PROJECT PAN CHALLENGE UPDATE #1

Standard

Time for my first update for my Crossing 6 off our Christmas List PP Challenge. You can read my intro post HERE. I chose 6 high end products to finish by Christmas so let’s take a look at how I’ve done so far! It’s been 5 weeks since my last post for reference.

img_8106

I made some pretty good progress on this Coach perfume and I like how it smells, but it doesn’t last very long so I wouldn’t repurchase it.

img_8040

I’ve been using this, but it’s going to take awhile to make some progress I guess. This is the same picture from last time. The line hasn’t moved at all.

img_8107

I’ve been making some progress on this primer as well and I really do love it, it just needs used up before it goes bad. I don’t want to waste such a great product.

img_8042

This is the same picture as well since I can’t see through the bottle to tell how much is left. I will say that I don’t like how it wears under lip products. Which is weird since it’s marketed as a primer. I don’t know that I’ll finish it, but we’ll see.

img_8108

I’ve made a little bit of progress on both of the lip products, which I’m happy with because I’ve been wearing different colors lately.

Overall, I’m happy with the progress so far. I’ve been trying to remember to integrate these products in my routine. πŸ™‚

Thanks so much for reading! ❀ Ashlee

Crossing 6 Off Our Christmas List Project Pan Challenge Intro

Standard

I first heard about this challenge from GlamourWithGrace on YouTube. She collaborated with three other girls for this challenge where they picked six high end products to try and finish by Christmas.

Most of my high end products are eye shadows and lipsticks, which take quite a while to use up so I actually had a hard time choosing six products, but I was able to come up with some.

img_8037 img_8038

The first thing I chose was this Coach Poppy Flower perfume because I have a backup of it and it doesn’t have the best staying power so I would like to move it out of my collection. It retails for about $35 for an ounce depending on where you go. It’s described as citrusy, floral and fresh.

img_8039 img_8040

I chose this Model in a Bottle setting spray because I’ve had it for over a year now and I need to use it up. It’s a great setting spray, but it’s intense and feels like hairspray on your face. Lol that’s probably why it works so well. It retails for $19.95 + $5.00 shipping on the company’s website (which I’ve linked) or $17.41 with free shipping on Amazon, but the seller is not through Amazon so it’s up to you.

img_8041

Again, I’ve had this Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer for quite awhile and have been hoarding it away for special occasions…haha. However, it will end up going bad before it gets used if I do that because there aren’t many special occasions in my life these days. I’m old and boring and I love it. I love this primer and it’s basically full. I only used it on my sister for her wedding and that was it. This is the 0.33 oz bottle and it retails for $19.00 at Sephora.

img_8042

I never reach for this lip treatmentΒ from Clinique. It’s their All About Lips and I haven’t really found that Β I’ve used it regularly enough to love or hate it, but it retails for $23.50. I can’t really tell how much is in here, but I haven’t used it very much. Maybe 5 times so I may not get through it, we’ll see.

img_8063

I love this High Pigment Pencil from Bite Beauty in Rhubarb and get a lot of compliments when I wear it, however, this is a mini and I have a second mini already in my collection as a backup. So…I’d like to move at least one mini out of my collection and if I’m still in love with it then I will purchase the full size. It’s described as a plum rose and the full size retails for $24.00 at Sephora. They actually have a little holiday set right now that includes this as well as another beautiful fall shade in the mini version for $14.00. They are very pigmented, creamy, satin finish and they last quite awhile on my lips. I love them and have several in different shades.

img_8064

Another mini that I’m in love with and trying to move out of my collection while still trying to decide if the full size is worth the price tag is this Marc Jacobs Poutliner Longer Lip Liner Pencil in Primrose. They describe the color as cocoa spice and the full size retails for $24.00. I will say that when I went to wipe the swatches off of my hand I had to really scrub to get this one off so I’m interested to see how it wears. I’ve never used it before so I’m excited. It’s a gel type formula and didn’t tug when I switched it, just glided on nicely.

img_8065

The top swatch is the Bite pencil and the bottom one is the Marc Jacobs liner.

So those are the 6 products that I hope to finish by Christmas! I know that some of them are minis and the perfume is half way gone, but trust me if I finish these I have plenty more to substitute in. πŸ™‚

I hope that y’all are enjoying cooler weather and getting to bust out your sweaters and scarves and hoodies soon!

FINISH 5 BY FALL (+1 BONUS PRODUCT) – PROJECT PAN CHALLENGE – FINALE

Standard

The first official day of fall is 9/22/16 so it is time for my Finish 5 by Fall Project Pan Challenge Finale! Spoiler Alert, I didn’t finish all of my products, but I did a pretty decent job and I’m impressed with the progress that I’ve made. It’s been less than a month since my last update (which you can check out here) because I had a big gap between my first and second updates due to being ill most of July. You can read my first update and intro post here.

img_8016Β Finale

IMG_7989Β Second Update

IMG_7816Β First Update

IMG_7635

Intro Pic

This is the It Cosmetics Celebration Foundation and I am really impressed with how much progress I’ve made during this project. I haven’t use it every day, by any means, and I’ve still hit major pan. I will continue using this until it’s used up and I already have a back up of it. I really love using it over a BB cream or by itself.

IMG_7992 img_8020

The top one is from the last update and the bottom one is the most recent. When I first started using it for the project it was a brand new shadow and this is a ColourPop shadow in Hanky Panky. It’s hard to tell progress with these shadows because of their consistency. They kind of just get smushed around in the pan, but I do love using this as a base or by itself so I will continue using it, but maybe not every day because I’m not in a huge hurry to use it up now that I know that I love it.

I did declutter that entire Lorac palette though so I’ll count that as using up a product.

img_8015

I used up this Marc Jacobs gloss on top of the Too Faced one so that is 2 glosses total, but since they were deluxe sample sizes I’ll count them as one.

I decluttered the Sinful Colors polish that I originally had in the project so I’ll count that as a product used up so we’re up to 3.

img_8021

I’ve made great progress on the Model Co lip liner and actually just got a new one in my Lip Monthly box. Lol I will continue using it up and move on to another liner in my collection, probably a darker one for fall. We’ll just have to see. I have been using that UD Naked mini lipstick, but it just doesn’t want to show any progress! I will continue using it up and have a full size back up in my collection, but I am getting sick of the color so I may have to switch it up for the next PP challenge.

Overall, I finished 3 of the 6 products and made major progress on the lip liner and foundation so I’m happy with the way this challenge went. I’ll have to check around to see if there are any fun PP challenges floating around other than the 13 by Halloween because I already know I won’t finish 13 products in 6 weeks. Haha.

I hope that y’all have a great week! ❀

FINISH 5 BY FALL (+1 BONUS PRODUCT) – PROJECT PAN CHALLENGE – UPDATE #2

Standard

It’s been 9 weeks since my last update because I was sick the entire month of July and didn’t use any of the products/didn’t wear any makeup. You can read my update #1 here and my intro post here!

IMG_7989 IMG_7816

I’ve made some good progress considering I went an entire month without wearing any makeup!

IMG_7992

I ended up decluttering that Lorac palette (gave it to my mom) so I added in this Colourpop shadow in Hanky Panky, but I forgot to take a before picture so here is where I am right now.

IMG_7990

I used up the Too Faced gloss so I added in the Marc Jacobs gloss in Kissability. It’s not my favorite and I already know that I wouldn’t purchase the full size, but there isn’t very much in the tube so I will finish it up pretty quickly.

I ended up tossing that Sinful Colors polish because it just kept getting thicker and thicker. I didn’t add in another polish because I am currently going through all of my polishes to declutter them at the moment.

IMG_7991

I made pretty good progress on both the lipliner as well as the Naked lipstick. I anticipate using up the lipliner for sure if not both products by the end of the project.

I have about 3 1/2 weeks left in the project and I am going to guess that the lip products will be used up, but that the powder foundation will not be and possibly the eyeshadow depending on how often I wear makeup between now and then. It’s a cream shadow so it’s hard to tell. My next post will be the finale post so we’ll just have to see!

Thank you so much for reading and I hope that you are having a great weekend! ❀

FINISH 5 BY FALL (+1 BONUS PRODUCT) – PROJECT PAN CHALLENGE – UPDATE #1

Standard

It’s been 6 weeks since my Intro post for my Finish 5 by Fall PP Challenge so it’s time for an update!

IMG_7635 IMG_7816

The bottom picture is the more recent one if you were unable to tell. There is a tiny bit more pan showing, but not a ton. I haven’t made as much progress as I’ve wanted to since it’s been 6 weeks already, but I also haven’t been wearing a ton of makeup so it’ll do for now. I’ll just keep working on it!

IMG_7634

This is the same picture…I have used it a few times, but you couldn’t tell when I took another picture. *sigh* I will just keep shoving my brush into it waiting for that pan to peek through. Lbs.

IMG_7818

This was new at the start of the challenge so I’ve made some progress, but I feel like I should have made much more in 6 weeks. I just popped the stopper out because I was having to dip it in like 7 or 8 times just to get enough for my lips. I know that they’re full, but that was getting old. Since the stopper is out I have a feeling that I’ll be using it more and will make much better progress. PS I love this gloss and hate that it’s discontinued. 😦

IMG_7624

*eye roll emoji* This is the same picture too! I did get a gel manicure with my friend so I had another shade on my nails for 2 of the weeks, but I have been using it. It is getting pretty thick at this point so IF it makes it to the end of this challenge I’m just going to toss what ever is left.

IMG_7815

I’ve made good progress on the lip liner at least! (I’m measuring from the bottom right corner lol it’s the only way it would fit on the post it) That should be gone by the end of the challenge! And the lipstick is a different shape, but it really isn’t any lower. I need to remember that I have it bouncing around in my purse since it’s so small of a bullet.

Overall, I have made some tiny progress on some of the products, but I really need to remember which products I have in this challenge or I’m going to end up in a project pan funk. lol so dramatic.

Thanks so much for reading and I hope that y’all are having a great weekend!!

Finish 5 by Fall (+1 Bonus product) – Project Pan Challenge – Intro

Standard

Fall?! It’s not even Summer. I know…I know…however, the first day of Fall is September 22. That gives me a little more than 4 months to finish this challenge vs. 3 months that I normally have. So I am choosing products that I think may take longer to use up and if they don’t then I will just replace them like I always do. πŸ™‚

IMG_7636 IMG_7635

It Cosmetics – Celebration Foundation – Retails for $35.00 (I always pick it up during their 20% FF sale)

I love this foundation and wear it alone on light makeup days or set my It Cosmetics CC Cream with it if I want a little bit more coverage, but don’t necessarily want to go full blown KVD Lock It foundation that day. However, I already have a backup and would like to move it out of my collection to get to my backup.

IMG_7634

This shadow is from a pretty bulky Lorac palette in purple croc print packaging. I couldn’t find it online, but if I use up this shadow I’ll just move down the palette. I just want the palette itself out of my collection because it’s so bulky.

IMG_7631

This too has been discontinued, which leads me to believe that it’s been in my collection far too long. Again, if I use it up before the challenge is over I promise you that I have tons more glosses to take it’s place. Lol

IMG_7624

Sinful Colors – Sharon’s Heart – Retails for $2.99 + $4.99 shipping on Amazon….$2.00 if you can find in stores.

I’m rolling this over from my previous challenge since I didn’t make much of a dent. I like the color and it lasts a decent time on my nails for a $2.00 polish.

IMG_7637

The line at the bottom left corner is a little mini Urban Decay lipstick in the shade Naked. It is unused at the moment. If I use it up I have other mini lipsticks or a full sized version of the shade Naked that I can replace it with. Ironically enough…those are all being discontinued right now too. LOL To be replaced with their Vice lipsticks that are coming out. I don’t know if they’ll have Naked in that formula or not.

Model Co – Illusion Nude Lip Liner – Retails for $20.00

I got this in some subscription box awhile ago. It is basically the same color as my lips it just helps my lipstick stay on longer. I just want to move it out since I’ve had it so long and I have so many lip liners this shade.

Alrighty, those are my 6 products that I want to finish my September 22. They may seem like no brainers to some people, but I don’t really wear makeup every day and after doing some challenges I’m realizing how long it takes me to use products up!

Thanks so much for reading! Have a great week!!

PROJECT 12 PAN – MAKEUP USE UP CHALLENGE – FINALE

Standard

It’s time for my Project 12 Pan Finale! I didn’t do as well as I would have liked, but I did make some substantial progress. πŸ™‚ You can check out my Intro post, Update #1 and #2 if you’re interested.

IMG_7621

This BBW body spray has been in so many of my PP Challenges lol, but I am so close to being done with it! I won’t be rolling this over to my next challenge, but I will continue using it just because I’m almost done.

IMG_7537

I never thought I’d finish this base coat, but it’s gone you guys!! I’ve moved on to my Formula X base coat and while I liked this one by Orly it feels good to have moved it out of my collection.

IMG_7625 IMG_7501

I wasn’t able to hit pan on my little Hoola bronzer, but I made a pretty good sized dent in that top corner. I won’t be rolling this one over either since it’s been in so many challenges back to back, but I will continue using it because I love it!

IMG_7623

I moved that Nest Indigo perfume into this roller ball because I found that it was easier to use that way, but to be honest I don’t really like the way this smells and I don’t find that it lasts very long on me so I will be passing this along. When I moved it into the roller ball it was all the way to the top so I did make some progress, but I will just give this to my mom or my sister. I did end up using up 8 perfume samplers in this challenge though so I’m counting that as 1 product. πŸ™‚

IMG_7624

I made a little dent in this Sinful nail polish. I will be rolling this one over into my next challenge since I swapped colors mid challenge. πŸ™‚

As far as the primers go I finished up the Porefessional sample and decluttered the Pores No More sample because it made my makeup slide right off -_- lol. It didn’t work for me at all. I am still going through my primers to find out what works for me and what doesn’t, but I never did end up replacing them in terms of the challenge goes. I usually wear my It Cosmetics CC Cream to work so I don’t wear a primer under that so that I can reap the skin care benefits. Either way, I’m counting the primers as using up 1 product since I ended up getting rid of both samples either by using them up or decluttering them.

I used up The Body Shop mask and didn’t add in another mask at the time because the one I was using was brand new, but I am adding it in to my next challenge. πŸ™‚

I technically used up my Watts Up Highlighter because it broke off while I was using it and fell onto my bathroom floor so I threw it away…. -_- I replaced it initially with a Buxom gloss then got scared of using it up too quickly because it’s my HG gloss then I replaced it with this one my elf. LOL

IMG_7622

There was another line somewhere closer to the top when I first started, but it has since worn off. It is so close to being done and I am impressed with myself. The only other gloss I can remember using completely is Nymphette my MAC back in high school when I only had a handful of makeup. Lol I removed the stopper from this and will scrape it clean, but I’m not going to carry it over to my next challenge because it should be used up in a couple of weeks.

IMG_7630

So obviously I’m stuck in March because those bottom lines should say 5-14…..lol This whole challenge is a mess. *laugh cry emoji* Anyway, I only have a little nubbin left of the Date side of this Bite Beauty Luminous Creme duo and it should be finished in a week or so. I’ve concentrated more on that side than I have Fig, obviously. Once that side is finished then I’ll move on to Fig. I’ll move Fig over to the next challenge just so that I can move this duo out of my collection. I love it, but it makes me sad that they’ve discontinued the Luminous Creme formula. I have one of the Amuse Bouche lipsticks and I just prefer the Luminous Creme more.

I finished the initial circle cream shadow and decluttered the square one replacing them with another sparkly olive shade and another cream shadow. I gave up on the olive shade because I just never reached for it, so that’s a fail. Lol, but I’ve hit pan on the cream shade from the random elf palette.

IMG_7626

It’s pretty powdery and crappy so I wasn’t surprised. I’ll finish it up, but I won’t carry it over to the next challenge.

Overall, I used up and decluttered 7 products during this challenge so it wasn’t a complete fail, but I would like to do better during the next one. πŸ™‚ I’m jumping straight into another challenge because I really need to keep moving products out. I have still been shopping (because I mean…makeup is so pretty…lbs), but I feel good about my purchases!

Thank you all for reading and I hope that you’re having a great weekend!

PROJECT 12 PAN – MAKEUP USE UP CHALLENGE – UPDATE #2

Standard

Time for another update! It’s been right at a month since my last markings. You can read my Intro post here and my first update post here.

IMG_7496

I would say that I’m about half way done. Although it’s hard to tell because of the way the bottle is shaped. I’m still not sick of the smell so I will continue using it until it’s finished. πŸ™‚

IMG_7309

This line hasn’t moved since last month’s post. -_- I am working in a hospital now so my nails are very short and I can only wear nail polish if it’s not chipped or peeling…so basically I would have to paint my nails every day. Lol I just haven’t painted them in a couple weeks. I have used this since last month, it just seems to take a lot of use to move that line for some reason.

IMG_7305IMG_7501

Top one is from last month and the bottom one is the recent one. Smh I don’t know if I’ll ever hit pan on this you guys. I use it almost every day! Lol

IMG_7442 IMG_7487 IMG_7498

I’ve gone through 6 more perfume samples and am starting on this Indigo mini bottle from Nest. That makes 8 samples total and my original goal was 5 so I’m really happy with that progress. I have also given several to my mom and sister and only have 3 little bottles left of perfumes that I know that I like. I’ll be working through my mini bottles and roller balls next! πŸ™‚

IMG_7497

I swapped out my Ruby Pumps polish (glittery red) for this pink one called Sharon’s Heart from Sinful Colors basically as soon as I published my post last month. Lol As I mentioned, I used it for a couple of weeks, but really haven’t been painting my nails since starting this job. I’m sure that I’ll get back to painting them occasionally. I don’t expect to use this up completely, but I’d like to make a little dent in it.

IMG_7505

I also swapped out my Buxom lipgloss with this one from elf. The sticker fell off so I’m not sure what the color is, but I will see if I can figure it out on the website or something between now and next update. I changed it because I realized that the Buxom gloss is my Holy Grail so I would just end up repurchasing it once it was finished…lol I have gotten several compliments on this elf gloss and will possibly repurchase this one too though…LOL

IMG_7504

I still haven’t been making any progress with the Fig shade, but I’m working my way through Date. I usually apply it once in the morning, but I don’t have time throughout my work day to reapply my lipstick. I may be able to slap on my elf gloss between patients, but not something I need a mirror for lol.

IMG_7494 IMG_7500 IMG_7499

I’m sorry that these are so blurry. I finished that little circle cream shadow and will be replacing it with the one on the bottom. It’s just from a random elf palette that I don’t think they make anymore. The middle shadow is still going strong. Honestly, I don’t anticipate hitting pan on either of these shadows since they’re so new…lol but I’ll continue using them every day and see what happens.

I completely finished my Tea Tree mask from The Body Shop as well as the Porefessional primer. I decluttered the Pores No More primer because it actually seemed to make me more oily and was breaking up my makeup so badly I could just wipe it off. I am going through the primers I have now to see which ones I’m keeping and which ones I will be decluttering. I’m not adding in a mask either because the one that I’m currently using is brand new. I just opened it and have only used it twice so it won’t be gone in a month.

Overall, I’ve already hit my goal for the perfume samples, used up the mask, one of the eyeshadows and the primers so I’m doing pretty well I would say. I will do the finale in about a month to see if I can at least get through that one side of the lipstick and lipgloss. Possibly even that base coat, Indigo perfume and pan on the cream shade. We’ll see.

Thanks so much for reading! I hope that y’all are having a great weekend and are able to enjoy the nicer weather.

PROJECT 12 PAN – MAKEUP USE UP CHALLENGE – UPDATE #1

Standard

I decided to do a Project 12 Pan and see if I could go through 12 products in three months. You can check out my Intro post HERE. It’s been a month since my last markings so let’s see how I’ve been doing!

IMG_7306

I made a little bit of progress on this one, but let’s be real here. I’m not going to finish this one by 5/15. Lol I suppose that I will be happy as long as that line keeps moving and I will keep using it until I get sick of the smell. Then I will switch to another body spray. πŸ™‚

IMG_7309

We’re so close you guys. I have to swirl the bottle around to get the product out at this point and it’s getting annoying so it will probably be gone by the next update.

IMG_7305 IMG_7153

This is my Hoola bronzer and the top one is the most recent update if you couldn’t tell. I also don’t know if you can tell from the picture, but there is a noticeable ring from the circle of the pan, but I still don’t think that I’m going to hit pan any time soon. LOL I just want to hit pan by 5/15 on this one because I know that I won’t use it up by then. I don’t bronze my face very much at all and just use this as a crease shade.

IMG_7311

I finished the Beach Walk sample and am almost finished with this Anna Sui La Nuit De Boheme sample. Neither of them are favorites of mine and I wouldn’t purchase the full size, but they’re alright. That will make 2 out of the 5 samples I’d like to use up by May 15th.

IMG_7308

I made a pretty decent sized dent in this Ruby Pumps polish, but I am already sick of it. :-/ I mean, it’s beautiful and I already have a backup because it’s been one of my favorites for years and years, but it’s a pain to take off and it chips easily because it’s a glitter. Plus I’m ready to get into spring colors so I don’t know why I included this. Lol I’m going to keep it in since it’s almost done and I’ll paint my toes with it and maybe my fingernails occasionally to maybe use it up by May 15th.

IMG_7171

I finished up the Porefessional and have started on the Pores No More, but it’s hard to tell how much is in the tube so it will just be a surprise when it runs out. To be honest, I can’t really tell a difference in my makeup from when I use a primer or not. *shrugs* So I wouldn’t purchase a full size of the Porefessional, but that’s just because I personally can’t tell a difference with any primer.

IMG_7172 IMG_7307

I have kept this mask in my rotation and I like how it makes my skin feel after I use it, but to be honest I haven’t really been breaking out very much with the skincare routine that I’ve been using. So really, I’m just using this mask to use it up because it’s so old. I probably have 2-3 more uses left so it should be gone by the next update if I keep up with my masking.

IMG_7302

Buxom – Full On Lip Cream in Mudslide – Retails for $20.00

I love this lipgloss and I’m introducing it into the project today because I realized that I originally had the Watts Up Highlighter marked down, but when I went to use it one morning it snapped off and rolled onto my bathroom floor. That’s one way to use up products….*ew* I was then going to include a Clinque Chubby Stick highlighter, but after using it a couple of times it was too pink and frosty for my liking so I gave it away to my sister. Long story short I needed a 12th product and didn’t realize it until today. So here’s the lipgloss that lives in my purse. I love it and would 100% repurchase. I just need to get through my lip products. I don’t anticipate using this up by May, but I’d like to make a good dent in it.

IMG_7303 IMG_7304

Here are the disgusting Bite Beauty Luminous Creme lip duos. I marked the progress and then took the pictures so that’s why the lines are off. And they look disgusting because of the lip liner I wear underneath…sorry bout that. Fig hasn’t moved at all…I’m working on wearing down that sharp point. However, I’m cruising through Date.

These in fact, have been discontinued. 😦 They reformulated them into the Amuse Bouche lipsticks and I purchased one in Pepper to try out and the formula isn’t as creamy and moisturizing to me. Still an amazing lipstick, but I prefer the old formula. Shame.

IMG_7313 IMG_7178

Originally I had another square shadow picked out for the project, but when I went to use it I couldn’t pick up any product…lol I suppose I should have watched it first. So that one went into the trash as a dud eyeshadow and I picked another for the project. I was so confused too because I had hit pan on that shadow…*confused face emoji* Since this shadow is new and a pretty big pan I don’t anticipate using it up, but I’d like to hit pan. The circle shadow is tiny so I should be able to use it up by May though. Again, neither of these have names or brands attached to them…they were depotted into my z palette and I didn’t label them because I suck at life.

Thanks so much for reading and I hope that y’all are having a great week! ❀

Project 12 Pan – Makeup Use Up Challenge – Intro

Standard

Hey! So I just finished up my Finish 14 by Feb 14 Project Pan challenge and I was looking for another challenge to start, but the only one that I found was Finish 7 by Spring and that’s only a month away so I just decided to do a Project 12 Pan. Essentially, I chose 12 products that I would like to use up in 3 months time. I marked everything on 2-14 so by 5-14 here’s what I’d like to use up!

I have some products that I’m rolling over from my last challenge that didn’t quite get used up.

IMG_7155

Bath & Body Works – Fine Fragrance Mist in Carried Away – Retails for $14.00, but don’t pay that…use your coupons. Lol

I’ve had this for so long that they’ve changed the packaging. I don’t know that I’ll get all the way through this, but I am going to try my hardest. Hopefully I won’t get sick of the scent since I’ve been using it for so long. πŸ™‚

IMG_7156

Orly – Bonder Rubberized Basecoat – Retails for $10.00

This sucker is getting used up or I’m tossing it. I’ve had it for so long and at this point I have to swirl the bottle around to coat the brush and it’s just getting irritating. It doesn’t look like it’s that empty by the line, but it’s getting pretty low in real life.

IMG_7153

Benefit – Hoola Matte Bronzer – Full Size Retails for $29.00

I hope to at least hit pan on this little guy. I mean, I should right?! I don’t really bronze up my face because I’m so incredibly pale it looks funny in contrast with the rest of my body, but I have been using it as a crease shade and it’s gorgeous.

China Glaze – Ruby Pumps – Retails for $6.99

I know right? I put a polish in here. Lol I don’t know if I will be able to finish it off or not, but I already have a back up of this polish and I have had this bottle forever so I’d like to try.

Benefit – Porefessional Face Primer – Full Size Retails for $31.00

Dr. Brandt – Pores No More Pore Refiner – Full Size Retails for $45.00

I have so many face primers and to be honest I never really remember to use them so I am going to put these two sample sizes in this project to remind me. I am going to use up the Porefessional first and then move on to Dr. Brandt. I doubt I’ll be able to use them both up, but hopefully I’ll be able to at least finish Porefessional and make a considerable dent in the Pores No More. I’m counting these as one because I’ll be using them one after another.

The Body Shop – Tea Tree Face Mask – Retails for $17.00, but again…use your 40% off sale. πŸ™‚

I love this mask and reviewed it in a post HERE, but I’ve had it almost 3 years you guys. It doesn’t smell bad and it hasn’t lost it’s consistency, but I need to use it up…ASAP. Smh this is why I’m doing these projects.

Benefit – Watts Up Highlighter – Full Size Retails for $30.00

Bite Beauty – Luminous Creme Lipstick Duo in Fig/Date – Discontinued?! 😦

Sorry I didn’t include pictures of the actual products. I’ll try to remember for my update next month. The highlighter is the deluxe sample size that we got from Sephora for our birthday in 2014 I think so I’ve had it for about 15 months and need to move it out. Since it’s a cream product it’s taking me forever to use!

The lipstick duo only has a little bit of product, but I don’t wear lipstick every day anymore and it has taken me longer to use than anticipated. And now Bite Beauty has pulled their Luminous Creme formula from Sephora’s shelves and website so I’m tempted to hold on to this forever, but I know that I need to just keep using it up. 😦 I really love the formula, but my friend said that they are reformulating the lipstick versus discontinuing it all together. We’ll have to see if it’s just as good as before.

Two random single shadows that I depotted at some point, but never labeled. #fail

Lol I have a z palette full of single shadows that I depotted from different trios, quads, etc. to try and declutter and some of them are labelled, but these two aren’t. I don’t know if they came in a random palette that didn’t have names with the shadows or if I just got lazy and decided not to label them? *shrug emoji* Either way, since I panned that cream shade from my Lorac Pro palette I need a new shade to use to go all over my lid and the one in the circle pan looks like it will work well for that. I chose the other one because it looks like it will work well for a neutral eye and I like that I’ve already hit pan.

I really need to go through and pan some of my single shadows you guys. When I did my makeup inventory I’m into the triple digits on this one since I’ve depotted so many of them. Lol

Thanks so much for reading! I hope that y’all are having a great week! πŸ™‚ Please let me know if you are doing any project pan challenges so that I can read your posts.
