May Project Pan Introduction

It is the beginning of May 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 May: 

1. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Pomegranate Punk- I am hoping to finish this up this month. It has been in other monthly project pans and it is time to finish it! 
  

2. Liplicious If the Tiara Fits- I really like the gloss, but I have way too many gloss and this one needs to be gone! 

3. E.L.F. Blush in Candid Coral- I have a blush/bronzer I want to start using in June so if I could finish this blush this month that  would be awesome!

4. Eyes Lips Face All Over Color stick in Pink Lemonade- I have had this for WAY too long. I am hoping to make a big dent in this over the next month and use it up soon. 

5. Eyes Lips Face Bronzer- I have two shimmery bronzer and this is the one I have had the longest and is the closet to being done. I am hoping to make some progress this month and maybe finish it next month.    

6. Benefit's Watts Up- I received another one of these for my birthday so I really want to finish use this one up so I don't have any doubles. 

7. Model Co. Kitty Lipstick- I have been working through lip products this year so here comes another one. I am hoping to make some decent progress this month because it is a SUPER easy color to wear. 

I hope you enjoyed the introduction to see the products I picked out for my May Project Pan. I will have my update to my May Project Pan up on in about two weeks! Have a wonderful day!

April 2016 Project Pan Finale

It is the end of April 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 April: 

1. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Tough as Taupe- I was hoping to made a decent dent in this product this month, but I actually finished it!   

2. Liplicious If the Tiara Fits- I really like the gloss, but I turned 25 this month and this was  just something I didn't want in my life anymore. I didn't finished so it will be rolling over. 

3. Ulta Splendor and Bronzer-  I had to repress it so I was hoping to hit some major pan on it this month and I finished it. I was so surprised with the progress that I made.   

4. Eyes Lips Face All Over Color stick in Pink Lemonade- I have had this for WAY too long, and I was hoping to make some major progress this month. I felt like there was hardly any progress so it will get rolled over and hopefully by the end of May it can be finished. 

5. Color Trend Eyeliner in Brown- Every month I have put in an eyeliner just to make sure I am using them and making some progress, even it is is tiny progress, which it was this month. This will not be rolling over stay tuned for May's introduction to see the fun eyeliner I will be using.   

6. Benfit's High Beam- I was hoping to make a little more progress, but I did use it everyday so I can't be too disappointed. 

7. No. 7 Lipstick in Smooth -  I was hoping since it is a softer lipstick that it will be used up quicker, but that was not the case. I think I might take a break from this one and work on another lipstick. 

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

April 2016 Favorites and Purchases

This year I am going to be combining my Monthly Favorites and Purchases with my Resolutions Updates (in the Video). I hope you enjoy April's picks! 

Favorites

1. Ulta Light Brow Powder- Brows are definitely something that I have struggled with, getting right. I have been loving this powder because it gives my brows some color, but not too dark! I would defiantly recommend and it seems to stay on for quite awhile which is perfect.

2. Maybelline Color Tattoo- I haven't tried many high-end eyeshadow bases but the color tattoos are amazing! They stay on for 24 hours there are so many colors and finishes to choose one. One for everyone! 

Purchases 

1. E.L.F. Makeup Mist and Set- I finished up two settings sprays this month and so I decided to go back to one that I have used previously and liked. I was also happy that it's cheap and works great!

2. Sephora- I originally went to Sephora to get my Birthday gift and I chose the Fresh cleanser and rose mask. I ended up getting the Bare Minerals Prime Time primer, I was almost out or primers. I also got the Benefit Boi-ing concealer because I am almost out of them as well. 

  

3. Mom's gift- My birthday was this month and so my mom went through her makeup and gave me a good mixture of things to try that didn't work for her! I am so excited to try them! 

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

April 2016 Birchbox Unboxing

A new month means a new Birchbox! I am so excited to try these products out. Let me know if you have any questions and I will try and answer them in my review.

1. Marcelle 3-in-1 Micellar Solution- This product is suppose to cleanse your skin as well as get off any makeup. I have tried other products like this so we will see if this is any better (it is more expensive). 

2. amika Un.Done Texture Spray- This spray is suppose to add lots volume as well as shine and strength. I am hoping this works. My hair is always looking for volume. 

3. Au Naturale Cosmetics Trio Set- First, this sample is ridiculously small! I don't normally complain but this is terrible anyways it comes with a lipstick, blush and cream eyeshadow. 

4. Dr. Jart+ Liftra™ Contour Cream- This is a collagen producing cream that firms your skin. It is also suppose to clean your skin and allow active ingredients to be absorbed in your skin. 

5. Odacite Black Cumin + Cajeput Serum Concentrate- This oil is suppose to combat acne and purify skin to prevent breakouts. 

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

April 2016 Project Pan Update

It is the middle of April 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 April: 

1. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Tough as Taupe- I am still hoping to have this done by the end of the month I think it will be close. I love the color tattoos but I am not much of a fan of this color so I am hoping it goes fast.    

2. Liplicious If the Tiara Fits- I was really hoping to have this finished by my birthday, but that didn't happen so maybe the end of the month?

3. Ulta Splendor and Bronzer- I had to repress this at the beginning of the month and since then the product has been going by fast! I have the tiniest pan showing in the middle and I hope to really expand that by the end of the month.   

4. Eyes Lips Face All Over Color stick in Pink Lemonade- I have had this for WAY too long. I did make a decent amount of progress but it does;t seem to wear well with a full face of makeup, so we will see.  

5. Color Trend Eyeliner in Brown- Every month I have put in an eyeliner just to make sure I am using them. I have used this everyday this month and it has been SLOW progress.   

6. Benfit's High Beam- I finished off my last highlighter so I thought why not throw one into to this month's project. I am excited with the progress and I hope to get close to finishing it this month. 

7. No. 7 Lipstick in Smooth - I have been working through lip products this year so here comes another one. I didn't make as much progress as I had hoped, but maybe I can get using it the second half of the month. 

I hope you enjoyed the update to the products I picked out for my April Project Pan. I will have my finale to my April Project Pan up on in about two weeks! Have a wonderful day!

March 2016 Birchbox Review

It has been a month since I got my March Birchbox so it is time to review it. This month I again chose the curated box and since it was March and it was the Ready for Anything beauty box. I am so excited to review these products for you.

1. Smashbox Photo Op Eye Shadow Trio in Filter- I really liked this trio! I am excited that I have the full exposure palette from the same Smashbox for when my pan that palette is finished.

2. Wilma Schumann Hydrating Collagen Eye Pads- I haven't have a chance to use these, but check out my April empties to see my thoughts!

3. Milk Studios in C.R.E.A.M. - I LOVE this color! I was so excited for the lipstick! I plan on purchasing the full size once I use up a few lipstick because it was great!

4. Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream- I really liked this face cream. I won't repurchase because it was good but not outstanding so I am still on the hunt for the perfect one. 

5. PARLOR by Jeff Chasten Smoothing Blowout Spray- This was supposed to be volumizing and add shine. I didn't notice any additional volume or shine when I was using this!

I hope you enjoyed this quick post of my March Birchbox Reivew. Come back in two days to see what I received in my April Birchbox. Hope you have a wonderful day!
