I started a series on my YouTube Channel, showing my makeup inventory. I thought I would also show it here and talk about my favorites and my goals. I thought this would be a quick reference and summary of the video. A new video and blog post will be up each Saturday!

Thanks for taking the time to read this post! Come back each Saturday for a new look into a section of my inventory! I hope this next year to continue to use up the products that I have and shrink these two categories just a bit so I can have a reasonable collection. ~Annelise
A new month means a new Birchbox! This month I again chose the curated box and since it was February it was date a date inspired beauty box. I am so excited to try these products.
1. Amika Bombshell Blowout Spray- I don't use a lot of heat on my hair so I plan on using this for texturizing and volumizing my hair. My hair could also use a little more of that.
2. Catherine Malandrino Romance de Provence- I really liked this scent. It mixes fruity and floral with vanilla. It sounds odd, but they work together seamlessly.
3. Which Renewing Mud Mask- I am always up for trying new masks and this one is no exception hopefully it does its job!
4. Cynthia Rowley Brightening Illuminator- It is still cold where I am at so I am thinking this could work well mixing into my foundation toe give my skin a healthy glow!
5. OCC Lip Tar in Strumpet- One of the reason I picked the box! I am so excited to try this lip stain!
I hope you enjoyed this quick post of my February Birchbox. Come back in March and I will review the products I received. Hope you have a wonderful day!
In January I chose a Korean inspired beauty box. I am was so excited to try these products. I was unable to try two of them. I am hoping they will be in by February empties.
1. TONYMOLY Delight Tony Tint in Red- I loved this lip product. It seemed to set nicely. It was able to be a subtle or built up depending on the amount of layers.
2. IPKN Flash Cream Radiant Primer- I loved this primer. I am thinking about getting it again especially when I have enough Birchbox points.
3. RE:P Bio Fresh Mask with Real Calming Herb- I really liked how calming this mask was. It had some exfoliants in it which was nice at the end
4.Manefit Beauty Planner Cucumber- I am not usually a huge fan of sheet masks, and I think that is why I put this one off.
5. Goodal Waterest First Essence- I really liked using this in the morning before I put on my primer for a light moisturizer.
6. Goodal Phytowash Yerba Mate Bubble Peeling- I didn't get a chance to use the bubble peel. The face cleanser was okay, nothing to write home about.
I hope you enjoyed this quick post of my January Birchbox. Come back in a few days to see what I go in my February box. Hope you have a wonderful day! ~Annelise
It is the middle of the month and that means time for the update of this month's project pan. The products I have chose might not be used up in the month but I want to focus on them and make some decent progress. Even if I product isn't finished it might or might not be in the next month's project pan. Listed below are the products I chose to focus on for February:
1. L'Oreal Paris Colour Caresse Wet Shine Lip Stain in Pink Resistance- I have no idea when this will be done I have been trying to use this at least once a day sometimes more, we will have to see how long this lasts.
2. Ulta Blush in Splendor and Bronzer- I think I made some noticeable progress, I had to scrape off some hard pan. It has gone quickly since then.
3. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Pomegranate Punk- I hoping to finish it this month I use this everyday under my eyeshadow.
4. W3LL People Bio Brightening Stick Sample in Moonstone- I have made a bigger dent, hopefully I can hit pan by the end of the month.
5. The Body Shop Lip Balm in Raspberry- I forgot to use this a lot so hopefully I can pick it up from here.
6. Markwins Blushes - I hit pan on the coral blush! I am so happy and I can really see progress.
7. Revlon Lip Butter in Raspberry Pie - I must have forgot to add this in (in the intro) but this is another lip product I am hoping to finish this month!
I hope you enjoyed the update on products I picked out for my February Project Pan. I will have my finale to my February Project Pan up on in about two weeks! Have a wonderful day!

I am so excited to share with you the palette I plan on working on in 2016. I am not sure how much I will be able to use, but this is the only palette I am using!
I received this as a perk for order over certain amount from eyeslipsface.com and never have really used it since it is SO big. The cover has since popped off and so I think it is time to move it out. It will be fun to experiment with the different colors while still having basics to fall back to.
For January I used a variety of shade, but stuck with the neutrals. I didn't hit pan on any shades as I was trying out different colors. I did crush up one shade(a dark army green) because it had no pigmentation and was very chalky.
For February I will be focusing on the red/pink row. My plan is to focus on a color fully row each month to try and move those out so I am not left with them all at the end. I want to have pan on a few shades in the next update. For March I plan on focusing on the green row.
I will update you every month and we will see how it goes! Wish me luck! Let me know if you are going to panning a palette this year! ~Annelise
Welcome to the beginning of February Which means it is empties time! To watch the video click the video below! I split this post into three categories: makeup, beauty! Enjoy!
Makeup Empties
1. Covergirl Lipstick in Sweetheart (Not Repurchase)- I finally used this up. I really liked the color, but the frosty pink finish is not for me.
2. Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup (Not Repurchase)- I used this with two different primers and that made a huge difference. It still didn't last all day and became patchy.
3. C.O. Bigelow Strawberries and Cream Moisturizing Lip Shine (Not Repurchase)- This was old and I think that is why is wasn't moisturizing, but it just wasn't my favorite. I like the spearmint scent better if I was going to get another one of these.
4. Covergirl Outlast All-Day Primer (Not Repurchase)- This was probably the worst primer I have ever tried. It did moisturize my face, but it seemed to make my makeup become patchy easier then if I wasn't wearing one. I didn't notice how bad it was until I switched to another primer.
5. L'oreal Telescopic Eyeliner (Might Repurchase)- I really liked this eyeliner. It lasted a long time and was super pigmented. I want to try some others out, but I might go back to this.
6. Benefit Stay Don't Stray (Not Repurchase)- I have had this for such a long time and when I finally got around to using it, it had gone bad. I really liked the staying power but it burned my eyes. I won't repurchase it because I have found super cheap eye primers do just as well.
7. Benefit Bad Gal Lash (Not Repurchase)- I have an issue where my mascaras NEVER dry up (well maybe after a year)! I used this for quite a while and loved it, it gave me nice volume. I don't think I will repurchase it because I have a ton of mascaras and I want to try cheaper ones.
8. E.L.F. Cream eyeliner (Might Repurchase)- I have a LOT of makeup and sometimes things get forgotten I have had this product for close to 5 years and when I went to use it, it was all dried up. I used it a few times and would think about repurchasing it when I am in the market for one.
9.-14. Brushes & Cloth- I am trying to be honest with myself and realize what is just taking up space. The muslin cloth by Liz Earle was one of those products. The sponge is VERY old and I need to be better about throwing them away. The four brushes all shed or aren't soft anymore.
Beauty Empties
15. Shoes (Repurchase)- I bought these shoes at Goodwill years ago and I have LOVED them. They are so comfy and cute. I am not sure where I can get some more or I would repurchase right away. The rubber bottom of the shoe has partly worn off and I trip when I wear them.
16. & 17. Paula's Choice Resist C15 Super Booster (Might Repurchase)- I really could tell a difference with my skin when I was using this. I have other skin care that I want to use up and try before I repurchase this. It made my skin so glowy and perfect.
18. Dolce & Gabbana's Dolce (Might Repurchase)- I really liked the scent of this perfume. It was a little more mature than I normally go for, but I really liked it. I have some perfume to go through and a scent similar might be one I get.
19. Kate Spade's Live ColorFully (Might Repurchase)- This perfume was a more light floral versus Dolce, but I have a lot of perfume choices so who know what I will come home with when I decide to purchase one.
20. Caudalie Hand and Nail Cream (Not Repurchase)- I received this in a Birchbox a while ago and I have been using it when I take off my nail polish to moisturize my nails and it worked really well. I don't think I will repurchase it because I think my body creams can do the same job and I don't need a specific one for my nails.
21. Coola Face Moisturizer (Not Repurchase)- I got this in my Birchbox and really liked it. I won't repurchase it because for me it is to thin for the evening and too thick for the morning. If you aren't a picky I think you would really like it, especially if you have sensitive skin.
22. Equate Nail polish Remover (Repurchase)- I have been using these containers for years to take off my nail polish and I love it. It has a sponge inside that you use to get off even the stubbornest nail polish.
23. The Body Shop Body Butter in Vanilla (Not Repurchase)- I have had this for so long and it was starting to go bad. I really liked it, but I don't have a body shop near me so I won't be getting this again. I liked the packaging of the Bath and Body Works Body Creams a little better anyways.
24. Clinique Happy in Bloom Perfume (Not Repurchase)- MY husband got me a trio of Clinique scents for Christmas and I really liked this one. It was a wonderful floral scent. I noticed that this one didn't last long on my skin or clothing and I prefer one that does.
25. Make Face Gloss (Not Repurchase)- I received this in a Birchbox and really liked the softness it gave me skin. I didn't like how sticky it was. I couldn't wear it before makeup and at night it would get all over my pillow.
26. Julep's Fina (Not Repurchase)- I am slowly trying all my Julep Nail polishes. Some are so gooey and gloppy, this is one of them. I loved the color but it took WAY too long to dry and it became clumpy on my nails.
27. Victoria's Secret Mango Temptation (Not Repurchase)- My sister-in-law gave this to me and I loved the scent. I used it mainly for room spray and so I plan on purchasing real room spray once my body sprays are finished.
28.WEI Anti-Wrinkle Cream Mask (Not Repurchase)- I realized with this mask that I am not a fan of cream masks. I would rather just use an intense moisturizer.
And those were my January Empties! By the end of 2015, I want to have 300 products. So 28 products in January is pretty good! Let me know your favorite eyeliner below! Have a wonderful day! ~Annelise
4. Urban Decay Naked Palette
