February 2016 Project Pan Finale

It is the end of February and that means time for the finale 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 am calling this one quits. I have used it for months and it doesn't really do much so I am decluttering this. 

2. Ulta Blush in Splendor and Bronzer- I think I made some noticeable progress, I will continue to work on this but I think I am going to take it out of the project for awhile.  

3. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Pomegranate Punk- I was hoping to finish it this month, but didn't quite make it. I will taking a break from it in March and in April or May start it up again.   

4. W3LL People Bio Brightening Stick Sample in Moonstone- I have hit pan! I am so excited with the progress I made. This will be rolling over to March to hopefully finish it up. 

5. The Body Shop Lip Balm in Raspberry- I am finished! I technically finished it in March, but I am so excited to have this finished.  

6. Markwins Blushes - Both fell on the floor and a little broke off, I have made some progress and will continue to use these until they are gone.  

7. Revlon Lip Butter in Raspberry Pie - I finished it! I am so excited to be working through so many products! I really liked this, but it was one of my older lip products so it needed to go. 

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

February 2016 Purchases & Favorites

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

Favorites

1. Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie- I love this lipstick! I am working on using it up because it is old and it needs to go!

2. Wet N Wild Photofocus Setting Spray- I purchased this last month and I love how it keeps my makeup on all day!

Purchases 

1.Birchbox-I pay for Birchbox and each month I review my products online and receive 10 pts for each product. every 100 points you get $10 off which expire the next year. I had some that were about to expire so I purchased The Balm's Mary-Lou Manizer and Smashbox Full Exposure palette the other two products I received as samples. 

2.DolledupDaisy24- I watched her on YouTube and she was decluttering some of her makeup. She had an instagram post that she would send you 50 makeup products for ten dollars! I jumped on that, so I gained 50 new products!

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

February 2016 Birchbox Unboxing

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!

January 2016 Birchbox Review

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!

February 2016 Project Pan Update

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!
