Lip Product Project Pan Introduction

Welcome back! I have decided that on top of my monthly project pans and instead of my nail polish project pan I am going to do a lip product project pan. 

1. My nail polish project pan was going nowhere and I don't have a huge problem buying nail polish

2. I have A LOT of lip products that I need to get through and I tend to randomly buy/get them. 

I have chosen two lip balms, two lipsticks, a lip stain and 7 lip glosses and I want to want to finish these up by December 31st. 

Lipstick 

1. Covergirl Lipstick in Sweetheart (Left)- I am not a huge fan of this lipstick and the frost it has I want to use it up and get it out of my collection 

2. Avon Lipstick in Frozen (Right)- This is similar to the Covergirl lipstick with the frosty affect which I am again not a fan of. It is a little darker than the Covergirl so this will be the second lipstick I focus on. 

LipBalm 

3. The Body Shop Born Lippy Raspberry Lip Balm- I have a decent amount of lip balms so once I finish the Life is Good Lipbalm I will use this at bedtime. 

4. Life is Good Lipbalm- I lost this when I moved and I really want to finish it up. As you can tell it melted because it was left in my hot purse. It still works great, but I need to finish up some lip balms and be consistent with applying it at night. 

LipStain 

 

5. L'Oreal Paris Colour Caresse Wet Shine Lip Stain in Pink Resistance- I go back and forth whether I like this product, but like I said before I have WAY too many lip products and I have found other stains I like better. I would love to get this used up (and other stains) so I can try other ones out. 

Lipgloss

6. E.L.F. lipgloss in Oasis- I decided to put this gloss in this project because when I first heard of people taking out stoppers I tried it on a few products and this was one of them. Now it is messy and I just need to use it up. 

7. Covergirl Wetslicks AmazeMint in Un-wined- I LOVE this gloss. My friend gave me a lot of lip products a few years ago that she had been given. I tried to pass them out to some of my friends, but no one wanted this color. As a result, I have 8 tubes! I love this gloss but I need to get some of these tubes moving. 

8. C.O. Bigelow Organics in Strawberry and Cream- I bought this a few years ago because I love the mint ones and always reach for those. I put this product in this project because I never reach for it and so I just want to use it up. 

 

9. Avon - I always keep one lip gloss on my desk to try and use it up, this has been off and on my desk for over a year and I just to finish it off. I love the color and pigmentation, but it is getting old and needs to be finished. 

10. Bare Essential Lip Guard in Pebble Beach- I love this formulation, but I never reach for this brown color so I want to use it up and decide if I like the color on me or not. 

11. POP Aqua Lauger in Flowering Fuchsia- If you watched my July Project Pan you know this was in there and I had to the hardest time using this product for some reason. I want to get this finished because again it is one of those products that I can't tell if I like or not. 

 

12. Covergirl Shine Blast in 825 Smolder- This was apart of the lip products my friend gave me and I have two of them. This is a lighter brown and almost comes off clear on my lips, I want to get this used up so I only have one of them.

July 2015 Empties

Welcome to the beginning of August! Which means it is empties time! To watch the video click HERE! I split this post into two categories: makeup, and beauty! Enjoy! 

Makeup Empties 

 

1. Covergirl Shine Blast in 805 Radiate (Might Repurchase)- My friend gave me a decent amount of lip products and this was one of them. I love the formula of the shine blasts. I have some others to go through before I think about repurchasing. I might repurchase this, but I have other glosses I would love to try first. 

2. Supergoop! CC Cream (Not Repurchase)- I really liked this sample that I received in my Birchbox, however it didn't WOW me, so I wouldn't repurchase it. 

 

3&4. E.L.F. Eyelid Primer (Might Repurchase)- I was surprised when I used both of these up this month. I knew I had used both on and off for awhile. I might repurchase I have a few other primer samples to get through and others I want to try before I repurchase this.

 

5. Brush- I am not sure where I got this, but it has started to shed so it is time for it to go. 

6. Maybelline Color sensation in Bit of Brown (Not Repurchase)- I received two of these from a friend and went to use this and it was all dried out. I only used it a few times and it wasn't my favorite so I wasn't too disappointed.  

  

7. Neutrogena SkinClearing Makeup (Repurchase)- I really liked this foundation. It was a little dark for me and old so I am not sure how well it treated my acne. I love the coverage, one major drawback is the packaging though.

8. Sweet Science Invisible Daily Tint (Not Repurchase)- I received this in my Birchbox and it was NOT invisible 

9. Caudalie Vinoperfect (Not Repurchase)-This product was suppose to be a tinted moisturizer and primer in one. I ended up mixing it with my primer because I was not a fan of it on its own, it didn't seem to do anything. 

10. Eleven Skin Perfection Eye Cream + Concealer (Might Repurchase)- I really liked this product and it lasted a year and half. I liked that in the morning I could use this and not have to worry if it left white underneath my eyes. It seemed to be a great primer for my concealer it wasn't a great concealer on its own. 

11. Bodyography Zinfandel Lip Liner (Not Repurchase)- I was not a huge fan of the color. I was given this lip liner and the formula was already old, so I can't comment on that. There are other lip liners I want to try. 

12. Avon glazewear liquid lip color in Iced pink (Not Repurchase) - I really loved the color of this lipgloss. I wasn't a huge fan of the packaging or the formula so I won't be repurchasing it. 

13. Dr. Jart+ Black Label Detox BB Cream (Might Repurchase)- I really liked this BB cream. It had great coverage and the color  worked well for me. I have other BB and CC creams I want to try out before I repurchase any of the ones that I have/had. 

 

14. Maybelline Falsies Black Drama Mascara (Might Repurchase)- I haven't used this mascara for awhile and I tried it and it was dried. I remember really liking this mascara and might have to get it again once I go through all the mascara I already own. 

15. Maybelline unstoppable Eyeliner in Onyx (Not Repurchase)- This was another product I was going to use and it was dried. I don't remember anything special and there are other eyeliners I want to try out. 

Beauty Empties 

16. Equate Nail Polish Remover (Repurchase)- This is the only nail polish remover I use and I will continue to repurchase because it is cheap, there is a sponge and it works great!

 

17. Paris Amour Body Lotion Bath & Body Works (Might Repurchase)- I love the scent of this. I am not a huge fan of the body lotions, so I might repurchase this scent in a triple body moisture cream. 

 

18. Ahava Mineral Hand Cream (Not Repurchase)- This was a really good hand cream, however I don't use hand creams and ended up using this all over my body. I will repurchase a body cream to use all over. 

19. Loreal Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm (Not Repurchase)- The product was okay, the packaging was terrible. I am going to repurchase the Aussie 3-Minute Miracle instead. 

 

20. Gold Sugar Scrub from Bath & Body Works (Not Repurchase)- I really liked the scent of this as well as the scrub. I want to purchase a body wash that has exfoliants in it instead of having two different products.

 

21. Earth Therapeutics' Refreshing Foot Scrub (Not Repurchase)- Like the product above I won't repurchase this because I want to find a body wash and scrub in one. 

 

22. Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum (Not Repurchase)- I received this in my Birchbox and I didn't see any difference so I won't be getting the full size. 

23. Dermaclear Micro Water (Might Repurchase)- I loved this! I want to try the Simple water because I heard it was similar, so I might have to repurchase this if it's not. 

24. Not Soap Radio in The Stuff that Cupid dips his arrows in (Not Repurchase)- I got this in my Birchbox and LOVED the scent. I won't be repurchasing it because like I said in another product I want to find a body wash that has exfoliants in it as well. 

25. Key West Aloe Gentle Aloe Facial Cleanser (Might Repurchase)- I really liked this facial cleanser it was SO gentle on my skin which was very irritated this month. I am really considering getting the full size for the winter. 

26. Warm Vanilla Sugar Mist (Not Repurchase)- I won't be repurchasing this because I am going to be purchasing perfumes instead of body mists.

27. Derma-e Anti-Wrinkle Vitamin A Glycolic Scrub (Might Repurchase)- I really liked this scrub. I have some others that I want to try and then I might repurchase this. 

28. Pantene Nature Fusion Conditioner ( Not Repurchase)- My husband and I used this and it didn't wow either of us, so we won't be getting it again. 

29. Batiste Dry Shampoo (Repurchase)- This is my favorite dry shampoo. I already repurchased this in the blonde version and I love it.  

30. Klorane Shampoo with Mango Butter (Might Repurchase)- I really liked this shampoo it was moisturizing. I have other shampoos I want try and then I might buy this again. 

31. Essie On the Go Topcoat (Might Repurchase)- I really liked this topcoat. I like trying out new top coats, so we will see if I get this again. 

32. WEI Tibetan Chrysanthemum Correcting Eye Treatment Pads (Not Repurchasing)- I didn't notice and a difference when I used this AND I am not a patient person, so it was hard for me to use these.

33 & 34. Annick Goutal's Petite Cherie and Clean Fresh Linen (Not Repurchase)- I didn't get pictures of either of these. I wasn't a fan of them, watch the video to hear more of my thoughts. 

Random Empties

35. Notepad (Repurchase)- I love making lists and so a notepad is a MUST have for me. 

And those were my April Empties!  By the end of 2015, I want to have 365 empties. July (35) + June (22) +May (23) +April (21) + March (16) + February (19) + January (23) means I am (159/365)! July 31st is the 212th day of the year. Even though I finished quite a few products this month I still have some catching up to do if I want to finish 365 products by the end of the year.  I Let me know your favorite lipgloss below! Have a wonderful day!

August Project Pan Introduction

It is the beginning of the month and that means project pan time! The products I have chosen 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 August. 

1. The Balm's Balm Desert- I received this in my July Birchbox and fell in love with it. I want to continue using it this month so I thought it would be a great product to track progress and hopefully finish. 

2. GlamNatural Cream Blushes Samples- I have had these FOREVER (I got them in Birchbox) and never reach for them. I want to make it a point to play with them this month so I can get them out of my collection 

3. COLORIMPACT Fashion Eyeshadow 1 and 2- I have hit pan on all six shadows! I am hoping this month I can finish most of these up.  

4. Benefit's Confessions of a Concealaholic-  I am so close to finishing the eyebright and Bo-ing 1 & 2, they should be finished this month. I am still chugging along with the erase paste, but I am hopefully i can at least hit pan this month.     

5. Pink with a splash of Sweet & Flirty- My sister-in-law is so sweet and gave this to me last summer. This summer she also gave me some fragrance so I am hoping I can finish this up so I can start moving through them.

July Project Pan Finale

Finale Time! If you haven't seen the introduction, watch the video above! The product I 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. 

Check out the update to see the progress before you read below! 

Listed below are the products I chose to focus on for July and the progress. 

1. COLORIMPACT Fashion Eyeshadow 1 and 2- I have hit pan on the other three eye shadows, so everyone has pan! I am hoping I wanted to use at least one color up, but that didn't happen. I am happy with the progress I made.  

2. E.L.F. Blush in Candid Coral- The pan is growing! I am so glad that I am making visual progress on this blush. I love the color it gives my cheeks!   

3. Temptu Highlighter in Champagne Shimmer- I made more progress! I am so happy I am thinking about mixing this in with my foundation to see how that looks.   

4. Pop Aqua Lacquer in Flowering Fuchsia- I made hardly any progress. I kept it in my purse, but I ended up using a bigger purse and then I kept forgetting it was in there, so this is going n my Lip Product Project Pan that is coming soon!   

5. Benefit's Confessions of a Concealaholic-  I ended up depotting this into a little metal container. I can't believe how long these products are holding on, hopefully next month I can finish them.  

6. Palladio Eyeliner in Sky Blue- I use this everyday, but it is SO pigmented that the progress is slow! I tried to use it all over the lid but it was too dry for that and pulled on my eyelid.   

7. Bodyography Lip Pencil in Zinfandel- This was done last update! I was so happy!  

I hope you enjoyed! Check out the video to see some swatches. Come back in a few days to see my August Project Pan Have a great day!
