Finish 5 By Fall!

Hey guys! First of all, I am so so sorry about the semi-hiatus I went on recently. I graduated high school and was completely burnt out, plus I've been working a lot to save money for university.

Today I'm going to be joining a challenge with several CBBers- the Finish Five by Fall challenge! I was initially very hesitant about joining such a challenge, as I've only ever finished two makeup products before in my life. Empties posts are a monumental feat for me. So I figured to have any hope in hell of finishing things off, they'd have to be mostly minis.


Here are the products I chose- more than five, but oh well. I chose products that I wasn't already trying to finish in my Use it Up 2015.


The first item is this Urban Decay primer sample. These things can last me up to a month, and I'm still trying to finish off a Smashbox primer sample, so I figured this wasn't too much of a cheat.


The second is this eeny meeny Smashbox trio. It's so little. However, I don't know how tempted I'll be to wear this in the summer... we'll see.


Third are these Urban Decay Sheer Revolution lipstick samples. These always last me multiple uses, and there are two more that I couldn't track down to photograph but will be using as well.


Fourth is this essence stay matt! Translucent pressed powder. I've made good progress on this already and I really want to use this up during summer while I'm at home, because the closing mechanism on the packaging is broken and it's a huge pain to transport.


Fifth is this Fresh sugar lip balm therapy lip treatment. I'm (gasp) not a fan of these lip balms and I'm just going to use this one up before it gets all melty and nasty.


And lastly is this mini Josie Maran watercolour cheek gelee. I love this thing to death, it's perfect for summer and it will go quickly.

And so concludes the intro to my Finish 5+ By Fall! I'll keep you guys posted on my progress throughout the summer.

    Good luck!! Once you start finishing up makeup products, it gets easier since you know it can be done. Eyeshadows/blushes are the hardest for me whereas lip products are the easiest. Hope it's been going weelll :D

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
