Project Finish-It 2015: Things That Are Not Makeup



I'm also going to do Project Finish-it for things that are not makeup, ie, skincare. Here's my small list of items!


Bath & Body Works mini body lotion in French Lavender & Honey
Current Progress: 75% remaining

I got this as a christmas gift, and I have two matching shower gels. To me, it doesn't smell like lavender or honey, but it's an inoffensive scent. I plan to use it twice a day on both my feet and my swatching arm, which gets dry from makeup remover and rubbing. It'll be interesting to see how this one goes. I've told myself I can't use my Lemon Vanilla lotion until this is half-done, at least.


Estee Lauder Hydra Bright Skin-tone Perfecting Moisturizer
Current Progress: 40% remaining

I currently have two of these one the go and I really don't like them. They have such a strong fragrance and I don't want to upset my keratosis pilaris so I use this as an undereye night cream. We'll see if I can finish this one, and maybe trash the other one if I can't pawn it off on a family member.


Bath & Body Works Nourishing Hand Cream in Crisp Morning Air
Current Progress: Not sure, but I think 70% remaining

Another inoffensive scent that just isn't my favourite. It's a sweet, fresh fruity scent, mostly green apple- but like a real green apple, not a jolly rancher. That sucks for me, because I love jolly ranchers. I don't get dry hands at all, but I keep this around in my purse and use it for the hell of it. 


Vaseline Lip Therapy Cocoa Butter
Current progress: 85% remaining

Another christmas gift, I've wanted one of these forever- they're so little and cute! I like the scent of this, and it's nice to put on before bed and on the weekends. My lips don't really get dry, ever, but I suspect as I up the amount of lip products I review, they might. This will be good to have around and will become my staple lip balm this year.

Well, those are the skincare products I hope to use up in 2015! As with the makeup products, I'll be posting monthly updates with my progress.

Review: Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon

Image
Hey guys, long time no post! I'm here today to review the new Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon. This is an interesting product for sure- one of the many new and exciting things Maybelline has put out for us this spring. The crayon is a short, chubby pencil that is supposed to be a brow pomade in crayon form. There are obviously drawbacks to this design- while it's a cool concept, frankly, the thing is huge. Maybelline definitely should have gone with something a lot less thick. I got the shade Dark Brown, I believe. As you can see, while the product is sharp now, it doesn't take much to run it down and I fear for the day this becomes too nubby to use (I've been using it on an angle so far). The formula, however, is pretty gorgeous. It's soft and emollient, but amazingly pigmented. It gives a soft effect rather than a harsh line. Here are my brows with no product in them. And here is the Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon applied to them. I

May Favourites 2016!

Image
May went by so slowly for me, but it was a month of excitement for sure! Eurovision happened and I got a job! Let's see what I loved through this month. A lot of oldies in here! First I've got some Makeup Geek shadows to talk about, and for once, I'm not waxing poetic about their Foiled eyeshadows. Makeup Geek's matte shadows in Chickadee (left) and Cocoa Bear (right) are deserving of all the hype they get. They pair together perfectly to create a warm crease. I'd never actually owned a warm medium brown eyeshadow before this, and let me just say- where have I been?! I've been wearing them all month and the only complaint I have is that now I'm in a bit of an eyeshadow rut because I don't want to wear anything else! Here's them both in my crease with Makeup Geek Foiled eyeshadow in Center Stage on the lid. Every few months or so I fall back in love with my Urban Decay Electric Palette- however, it's usually the shimmers I love. This

Products I've Hit Pan On!

Image
Whenever I look back on my instagram to see which posts were the most popular, it's always the posts featuring products I've #hitpan on. The panning community in general is awesome, so I figured I'd do a post showing all the products in my collection that currently have some pan going on! And I'm sure I'll have another post like this soon, because I have so many products, particularly eyeshadows, that are soooo close to hitting pan. Anyways- let's get into the good stuff! First up is this Too Faced Jingle All the Way "phone palette" that I've had for ages. It was my first foray into high-end eyeshadow- picked up for a measly 15 bucks when I went on vacation to Washington, D.C. I believe it was part of a holiday collection, and I grabbed it out of the sale bin the following spring. You can definitely see which shadows were part of my "signature look" with this palette- I would use the light matte brown in the crease, the bronze/cop
