April 2015 Birchbox Review
I have been using these products for about a month to see what I think about them. Today, I am going to share my thoughts and conclusions on my April 2015 Birchbox.
1. Obliphica Intensive Hair Serum- I love this! It smells amazing! It also leaves the ends of my hair feeling super soft without being greasy which is amazing!
2. POP Beauty POP Portfolio Eyeshadow Palette- I really liked these eyeshadows, they worked perfectly with eyeshadows in my project pan. The three colors I received worked perfectly together to enhance my blue eyes.
3. Whish Shave Crave Shaving Cream in Blueberry- I really liked how moisturized my legs felt after using this. I usually use lotion to shave and this seemed to be a lotion-shave cream hybrid! AMAZING!
4. Real Chemistry Luminous 3-Minute Peel- After using this multiple times I have come to the conclusion I am more of a mask person. I didn't like how balls of dead skin came off. I will finish it, but I won't be repurchasing anything like this.
5. jane iredale Just Kissed Lip and Cheek Stain in Forever Pink- I currently have a project pan going on with a cream blush, so I only used this product on my lips. I thought it was super moisturizing and felt a little like chapstick. I didn't think it stained my lips very well though.
I hope you enjoyed this! Let me know what your favorite eyeshadows are done below! Have a wonderful day!

April 2015 Empties
Makeup Empties
1. Buxom Mini Lipgloss in Starr (Repurchase)- This is the only Buxom lipgloss I have tried and I loved it! I definitely want to purchase some more colors!
2. COOLA Face SPF 30 Unscented Matte Tint (Repurchase)- I received this in my Birchbox over a year ago and even before I was finished with it, I purchased the full size. I am excited that I still have the full size to use.
3. Avon Chapstick (Not Repurchase)- I got this as a gift and I wasn't a fan of it. I like my lipbalm to have some color so they can multitask. I also didn't like this formula at all.
4. Revlon Colorstay Lipliner in Plums (Not Repurchase)- My mom gave me this awhile ago and it has since dried up. I want to use up a few of my other lip liners and try a few more, so I don't think I will repurchase this anytime in the near future.
5. Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream (Not Repurchase)- I love BB creams! I was not a fan of this product though. It didn't cover anything and it was very watery. I like my BB and CC creams to be thicker and cover better.
6. Smashbox Photo Finish Primer (Might Repurchase)- I got this in my ulta order and took it home over Easter and I really like. I like the BareMinerals Prime Time better because it has a slight tint which I prefer.
Beauty Empties
7. Whish Three Wishes Body Butter in Almond (Might Repurchase)- I received this in a Birchbox and I really like the formula, but was not a fan of the smell.
8. Davines Replumping Superactive (Not Repurchase)- I received this in my Birchbox and I didn't like the smell and it did nothing to volumize my hair.
9. Dove GoFresh Body Mist in Cool Essentials (Not Repurchase)- I use this as a room spray and I really liked the smell, but I think a room spray would work better.
10. Fekkai Blowout Hair Refresher(MIght Repurchase)- I received this in my Birchbox and LOVED it! I didn't get to use it all because the nozzle broke. I might repurchase it, but I don't want the nozzle to break again and it is more expensive.
11. Supergoop! Advanced Anti-Aging Eye Cream (Not Repurchase)- I received this in a Birchbox. Everytime I used this it would flake off, so I won't purchase the full size.
12. Facial Bar in Citrus Sage(Not Repurchase)- I got this from a hotel and used it to get the bulk of my makeup off if I was wearing a full face. I won't get anything like this. I am not a huge fan of bar soaps of any kind.
13. Freeman Rose Brightening Facial Mask (Repurchase)- This is a single use mask that I purchased from Walmart and I LOVED IT! It was wonderful and I could tell a difference when I used this.
14. Dove Nourishing Care Shea Butter (Not Repurchase) - I have had this forever! I really liked it, it was moisturizing, but I like liquid body washes much better!
Random Empties
15. Celestial Natural Detox Tea (Not Repurchase)- Let me just say, this worked. I want to try tea that has some of the same benefits without the consequences.
16. Bath & Body Works Hand Sanitizer in I Love Cake (Might Repurchase)- This is a really sweet smelling. I have other hand sanitizers, that I need to use before I purchase more, so we will just have to see what scents are available when I need more.
17. Tide Pods in Free & Gentle (Repurchase)- I received the free and gentle pods for Christmas. I liked them, I think I like ones with a different scent a little better. I love pods in general and would recommend them if you do your own laundry. They make life so much easier.

18 E.L.F. Complete Coverage Concealer in Light
19. Liplicious I love Gossip Lip Gloss
20. Maybelline Fit Me in 125
And those were my April Empties! By the end of 2015, I want to have 365 empties. April (21) + March (16) + February (19) + January (23) means I am (79/365)! Hopefully I can finish even more things in May. I feel like I am getting close to finishing a lot of things! Let me know your favorite lipstick is below! Have a wonderful day!

Project Pan Update #7 (Four months)
Today is my seventh update of my Project Pan! I am so excited to share this journey with you. I started with 10 (it became 13) products I want to focus on using up. This project is going to end May 31st!
On my YouTube Channel I am doing a makeup inventory series and you can see just how much makeup I have. One of my resolutions was to use things that I have up and this is one way I am accomplishing that goal! I will be updating you every two weeks on the progress. Below are the pictures the left is from two weeks ago and the right is the current progress. Click here to see Update #2 where you can see the original pictures.
Finished Products! (Click here to see my Final Thoughts)
1. E.L.F. Complete Coverage Concealer in Light
2. Liplicious I love Gossip Lip Gloss
3. Maybelline Fit Me in 125
Products Still Working on!
Face
1. NYC Sunny Bronzer- I repressed this a little over a week ago and it has worked so much better since then. Click here to see how I did it. It is now super pigmented and I love using it again!
3. Laura Gellar's Spackle Tinted Under Makeup Primer in Champagne- This is a huge primer, and I use it everyday when I wear makeup. It does a great job keeping my makeup on. It seems to be having more empty space, so I am curious to see how much longer this will last.
4. Revlon's Cream Blush in Rosy Glow- I can't believe this is going SO fast! I will be using this as an eyeshadow base to finish using this up, because it is too blotchy when I try and use it as a blush.
Eyes
6. Mom Pallet- I am so close to finishing it! I have the eyeshadow in the lower left corner that is hanging on as well as a little bit on the upper right hand corner. Next update this should be gone which I am super excited about!
8. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze- I hit pan! This was put in the project about a month and half ago and I can't believe the progress! I am so excited! I love this cream eyeshadow! I put it in here because I have had it for awhile and the lid cracked.
Lips
9. Make Up Forever Lipstick Rouge in Artist Natural- I keep losing this lipstick! I am hoping I can finish it by the next update.
