February 2016 Project Pan Introduction

It is the beginning of the month and that means time for the introduction 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 am hoping to make noticeable progress this month. 

3. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Pomegranate Punk- I hoping to finish it this month or come REALLY close.  

4. W3LL People Bio Brightening Stick Sample in Moonstone- I have A LOT of highlighters and would like to start working through them. I ended up with two samples of this so I thought I would include this one. 

5. The Body Shop Lip Balm in - I am not a huge fan of potted lipbalms so I decided to try and move this one out so I can continue working on others. 

6. Markwins Blushes - I worked through an eyeshadow palette last year and these blushes were also included. I would love to work on them and finish them up this year. 

I hope you enjoyed the finale on products I picked out for my January Project Pan. I will have my introduction to my February Project Pan up on Thursday ! Have a wonderful day!

January 2016 Project Pan Finale

It is the end of the month and that means time for the finale on 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 January: 

1. Covergirl Lipstick in Sweetheart (FINISHED) - I am so excited that this is done! I have been working on this FOREVER and it wasn't my favorite so I am glad it's gone.  

2. 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.

3. C.O. Bigelow Organics in Strawberry and Cream(FINISHED)- I can't get anymore out of it, so I am calling it quits. It had a nice scent, but it wasn't moisturizing.  

4. Ulta Blush in Splendor and Bronzer- My goal was to hit pan, which I did, kinda. I took a small safety pin at the beginning of the month and made a hole to see how far the pan was. Since then the pan has continued to grow! 

5. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Pomegranate Punk- This is one of the cream eyeshadows I plan on using up in 2016 and I am excited with the progress. 

6. Neutrogena Healthy Skin Foundation(FINISHED)- I am finished! This was not one of my favorites. It didn't stay on all day and being a teacher I need a foundation that will last!   

I hope you enjoyed the finale on products I picked out for my January Project Pan. I will have my introduction to my February Project Pan up on Thursday ! Have a wonderful day!

January 2016 Favorites & Purchases

This year I am going to be combining my Monthly Favorites and Purchases with my Resolutions Updates (in the Video). 

Favorites

1. IPKN Flash Cream Radiant Primer- I LOVED this stuff! I received it this month in my Birchbox and decided to try it when another primer was finished and it is amazing! I would definitely recommend it. It holds on your makeup all day and gives your skin a perfect glow! 

2. W3LL people Bio Brightening Stick Sample in Moonstone - I have been loving this subtle highlight for days that I don't want something intense. It is perfect to give my face a healthy glow. 

3. Jordana Fabuliner in Black- I have been loving this! It is perfect for everyday, but can be built up for a more intense look! 

Purchases

1. Five Bath and Body Works Body Creams- These are my FAVORITE and I happened to walk into Bath and Body Works and they were having a huge sale (of course) so I had to get them. I think I am set for most the year! 

 

2. L'oreal Magic De-Crease Eyelid Primer- I was out of eye primers is you saw my inventory you know I had two. I used up the Urban Decay and then I went to use the Benefit Stay Don't Stray and it was burning my eyes. I wanted to try a new one and this was one of the only ones I saw at the drugstore I went to. 

3. Wet N Wild PhotoFocus Setting Spray- I have only used one other setting spray and I liked it and so when I saw this I thought it would be a fun thing to pick up and try.

Those were my Favorites and Purchases for January! Let me know what your favorites were down below! Have a wonderful day!

January 2016 Birchbox Unboxing

A new month means a new Birchbox! This month I chose a Korean inspired
beauty box. I am so excited to try these products.

1. TONYMOLY Delight Tony Tint in Red- I love lip products and this gorgeous red tint looks amazing! Hopefully it is long lasting and doesn't feather out of my lips. 

2. IPKN Flash Cream Radiant Primer- I am always up for trying new primers. I love primers that make my skin look radiant so hopefully it lives up to that.

3. RE:P Bio Fresh Mask with Real Calming Herb- I love masks and a calming mask is perfect because sometimes I can go a little crazy with exfoliants and my face needs a calming mask. 

4.Manefit Beauty Planner Cucumber- I am not usually a huge fan of sheet masks, but we will see how this goes

5. Goodal Waterest First Essence- This looks interesting. I plan on using it for a morning moisturizer. I lookes like it is a combination of a moisturizer and serum, perfect to lightly hydrate my skin in the morning.

6. Goodal Phytowash Yerba Mate Bubble Peeling- I am intrigued to use this. I have never used a bubble peel before. 

I hope you enjoyed this quick post of my January Birchbox. Come back in February and I will review the products I received. Hope you have a wonderful day!
