Project Pan October-December 2018: First Update

Hi all! I’m back with my first update on my last Project Pan of 2018. You can see my first post here.

I’m attempting to use up 5 skincare and 5 makeup items. And it’s going pretty well. I haven’t used up anything yet, but I am getting close!

I just have a little bit left of my Pixi products. I should use them up in a couple of weeks. Same with the Talika Eye Dream. This is almost gone. The Derma E cleanser is still going strong. I’ve been using this for a while and it is really lasting! The Yes to Cotton mask is the only thing that’s taking me a while to use. I keep forgetting about it! But I did use it 4 times last month. I want to try applying it twice a week from now on. We’ll see how it goes!

I do really like all of these products. They all help my skin look smoother and clearer. I’ll let you know if ‘m going to repurchase when I use them up.

My makeup pan is going okay. I think the Flower Beauty concealer is almost used up. It’s taking a few dips in to get enough concealer to apply. I’ve been concentrating on the concealer, but have used the Colourpop one a few times.

I’ve been wearing one or a combo of the lip glosses every day in October. I don’t know if you can see from the photo, but it looks like the lightest one is separating on the bottom. I might have to stop using that one. If I don’t use them all up by the end of the year, I’m going to toss them. They are over a year old and it’s either use them up or throw them away!

I think I should get through most of these products. I think the interesting thing I’ve learned so far this year is that I have way more makeup than I will use up! I’ll talk more about that at my end of year round up.

Have you done a Project Pan this year? What are you learning from it?

Project Pan October-December 2018

I’m back with my final Project Pan of the year! I’m pretty proud that I’ve done three so far!

As you can see from the photo above, I have 5 makeup items this time and 5 skincare products. This is the most makeup products I’ve had in a pan so far. Hopefully I’ll get through them all! Here are the products I’ve chosen:

These are the LORAC Mod Lip Gloss from the Beauty and the Beast Collection that launched last year. These shades are Savoir Faire (nude peachy rose), True Beauty (pale mauve) and Belle-ieve (nude). I’ve had these for abut a year, so they are at the end of their life span! They are very hydrating (not sticky at all) and are so pretty alone or over a lipstick.

I’ve recently purchased and received a bunch of lip glosses, so I need to use these up. I would say they are about half or 3/4 used up, so hopefully I can get through all three by the end of the year. I am trying to use them every day, and even multiple times a day since they are so hydrating.

Here are swatches of the glosses — Savoir Faire, True Beauty, and Belle-ieve. I love all three shades!

I am trying to pan two concealers. The top one is Colourpop No Filter Conealer in Light 12 and Flower Beauty Light Illusion Full Coverage Concealer in Light. I’m trying to use up my concealers, because there are so many new concealers that have been released that I want to try. But I don’t want to buy any until I use up a few!

These are both nice, here are swatches:

The left is the Flower Beauty one and the right is the Colourpop. The Flower Beauty concealer is more moisturizing and the Colourpop is more matte. They are both really nice and I eventually might buy them both again. I actually have a back up of the Flower Beauty one, but it’s in a different shade, I think Fair. Which will work out in the winter when I am paler.

I think the Flower Beauty once is only about a 3rd full and the Colourpop Concealer is about half full.

Now on to the skincare! Left to right is Derma-E Firming DMAE Cleanser, Yes to Cotton anti-pollution Oxygenated Facial Mask, and the Talika Eye Dream.

The Derma-E cleanser is so nice. It cleans without drying and leaves my skin soft and firm! It’s about half full. The Yes to Cotton mask is almost full, so I need to use it a few times a week to empty it by the end of the year. I just have so many masks I need to start using. The Talika eye cream is hydrating without being greasy. It’s about half for 3/4 full.

Last but not least are these products by Pixi Beauty. The Retinol tonic is over half full and the wonderful Rose Glow Mist is under half full. I have lots of mists and need to use some up!

So that’s my 4th and last Project Pan of the year! I’ll be doing updates and hopefully I will use it all up!

I’m still deciding if I’ll do this again next year…we’ll see!

August 2018 Beauty Favorites

It’s almost September! Yay! It has been a LONG, HOT summer and frankly, I’m glad it’s almost over! My daughters have been in school for over two weeks now, so I’m ready for cooler weather and a change in my beauty routine!

Below are my favorites this month. These are products I’ve been using all summer. I haven’t done a ton of reviews in August because I’ve been busy and I haven’t had many new products (I have a feeling that will change this fall!). Here are the one I have been loving most:

Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina Eyeshadow Palette ($42 USD) — I would think this would be a predictable favorite for many of us this month! I purchased this as soon as went on sale at Ulta.com. I love purples shadow and I loved the packaging! I wish this had more purples, but the ones in it are very pretty and you can make lots of natural looks with it. There is a lot of kick up in the pans and their is fallout, but the shades blend well and are very pigmented!

Philosophy Pure Grace Endless Summer ($49 for 2 fl. oz EDT) — I have been loving this during the summer. It’s citrusy and fresh at first, then the musk gives a sultry finish. I received this in a set that includes a body lotion, but the set doesn’t seem to be on sale any more. You can get the perfume still. And I definitely recommend it!

jane iredale’s NEW Triple Luxe Long Lasting Naturally Moist Lipsticks ($35 each). These are actually new for fall and are a very new favorite for me! Each lipstick contains antioxidant-rich Moringa Oil to soothe and nourish, plus Tahitian Vanilla and Blackberry for subtly sweet, natural flavor. These are hydrating but feel really light on. My fave shade is the one shown, Jackie (peachy pink). It’s pretty now for summer and will also look gorgeous with dramatic eyes in the fall.

Urban Decay All Nighter Waterproof Setting Powder ($34 USD) — This gives me a matte look, but isn’t dry on my skin. That’s important to me as I age, and the fact is my face isn’t oily. But it does get greasy in the summer when it’s so hot and humid. The combo of this and the Urban Decay Chill setting spray really has kept my makeup in place all day during the hot weather.

Pixi Beauty Retinol Tonic (#15 USD) — This amazing toner features a unique time-release Retinol to help rejuvenate the skin for a natural glow. Powerful antioxidants and botanicals replenish the skin for a smoother, softer appearance. I love using this once a day (normally at night). It makes my sensitive a bit red at first, but then calms down and is so even-toned an smooth! Plus my skin looks great in the morning!

Derma E Firming DMAE Cleanser ($15.50 USD) — This has been my favorite cleanser for months now! It claims to cleanse away oil and makeup while supporting visibly firmer skin with this exclusive treatment cleanser. The formula contains skin-firming DMAE, antioxidants Alpha Lipoic Acid and C-Ester, calming Lemon Grass, Chamomile, natural astringents Horsetail and Horse Chestnut to be gentle on skin while encouraging healthy tone and texture. It doesn’t irritate my skin at all and cleanses so well while not drying out my skin.

So, those are my August faves. What have you been loving this month?

July 2018 Beauty Favorites

I can’t believe it’s August! It has been hot in Kansas City since mid-May so I am ready for summer to be over. My youngest daughter is starting high school in two weeks as my middle daughter goes off to college. So many changes!

And so many choices — at least for my fave July products. I loved so many makeup products this month. Here they are:

I have been testing so much awesome new makeup in the last couple of months, so I chose more favorites than usual this month.

Urban Decay Born to Run Eyeshadow Palette — I received this for my birthday in June and have been loving it since! There is such a great variety of shades. The shadows are so buttery and blend well, too. It will work nicely in the fall and winter months because there are some gorgeous plums and greens.

Alamar Cosmetics Reina del Caribe Vol.1 — This bright palette came in my June BoxyCharm. These are normally not shades I would wear — orange, red, blue — but these shades are so creamy and pigmented, it’s hard not to love them. I use them with a light hand and they are so pretty!

H2O+ Beauty Oasis Smart Tint Lip Color — This is a self-adjusting lip color. It has two sides. The dark blue shade turns rosy on my lips and the light blues turns a shimmery pink. Very fun and hydrating!

Urban Decay Chill Chill Cooling and Hydrating Makeup Setting Spray — I have been using this all summer. This has Temperature Control Technology that actually chills the surface of my makeup to keep it looking fresh for up to 12 hours. This also helps powders melt into my skin and I look dewy, not dry!

IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream Oil-Free Matte with SPF 40 — I really like this. It is a comfort matte so it is not too drying, but stays in place all day. I need it in a lighter shade, but I have been mixing it with a light foundation and it looks great!

L’Oreal Voluminous Lash Primer — I LOVE this! I got a sample in a free gift from Ulta this spring and bought the full sized one last month. I use it every time I wear mascara. It gives length and fullness to my lashes. My lashes are very short, so they need this! L’Oreal now has a rose gold primer that’s a part of their Lash Paradise collection, so I’ll pick that up, too!

Pixi Beauty Glow Cake in GildedBare Glow — I received this for review and ever since, I have used it every day. It gives me the perfect summer glow. I swirl my brush in the whole pan and cover my cheek with it. I then use the lightest shade as a hilghighter on my cheekbones, nose and cupid’s bow. Gorgeous!

Pixi Beauty Rose Mist — I love using this in the morning after I wash my skin, before serums and creams. It helps soothe my sensitive skin and gives a glow. It also helps hydrate, which I love. Plus, it smells amazing!

What products were you loving in July?

New Summer Releases From Pixi Beauty

I was so lucky to receive some new Pixi by Petra Products for my honest review. I got a fun mix of skincare and makeup.

The first three products are some amazing Skintreats. The first one I want to talk about is the Retinol Tonic (now on the website, in the middle of the photo above).

This is not on the website yet, but I did get some PR materials about it. It will retail for $15 and is 3.4 fl. oz. It features a unique time-release Retinol to help rejuvenate the skin for a natural glow. Powerful antioxidants and botanicals replenish the skin for a smoother, softer appearance.

I have only been using this and the other two Skintreats for about a week, but I am enjoying it. It doesn’t have much of a scent, so if you are sensitive to scent, this is a good choice. I apply it every night before serum and moisturizer and I like how smooth my skin looks in the morning! I will keep using and report what results I see.

There are also two new products in the Rose Skintreats line — Rose Ceramide Cream and Rose Glow Mist:

Rose Ceramide Cream ($24 USD) — This ultra-rich cream is infused with Ceramides and Rose Oil to deeply hydrate the skin for a healthier, more supple appearance and feel. Antioxidant-rich botanicals help to improve skin’s elasticity while protecting against environmental aggressors.

This is a very hydrating cream. A little goes a long way. I over did it the first time I used it and it felt a little heavy. For me, this is a night cream. In the morning, my skin is well hydrated. It has a soft floral scent and smells really nice.

Rose Glow Mist ($15 USD) — Infused with 7 types of Rose Flower extracts and antioxidants, this lightweight mist helps soothe and strengthen the skin. Helping to moisturize, improve elasticity and provide free radical protection, skin’s complexion is left with a naturally enhanced glow.

I’m in love with this mist! I use this after cleansing and before serums and moisturizer. I also use it over makeup for a little hydration and glow. It smells like fresh roses and gives my skin a healthy glow. LOVE!

These are the stunning PixiGlow Cakes ($28 each) –This light-diffusing palette helps to achieve a naturally healthy, radiant complexion with flushed apples of the cheeks, subtle contouring and glowing highlights. The shades in the gradient make it easy to create a sheer wash of luminous colour that enhances your PixiGlow!

This comes in two shades, GildedBare Glow on the left in the photo above and the PinkChampagne Glow on the right.

Here is a swatch of the GildedBare Glow. It’s kind of hard to see, but I swatched the lightest end, in the middle and the darker end.

This is very shimmery/glittery, but when applied it gives a glow and the glitter doesn’t show on my face. I tried it two ways: swirling a big fluffy brush in it and applying it all over my cheek, and applying the lightest end as highlighter, the middle as blush and the darkest end as bronzer. Both ways are so pretty, but I think I like applying it all together. It gives a gorgeous flush! The more bronze end doesn’t work well bronzing the rest of my face, though. It’s way too shimmery!

I have to say, though, I really recommend this. It can be built up easily and gives my face the perfect summer glow!

This is the LashLift 188 Mascara in Beyond Black ($15 USD) — This unique 2-in-1 dual chamber contains a larger wand for volume and a finer precision wand to coat every one of your +188 lashes. Together, the brushes create volume, length and curl for an eye-opening effect and the ultimate false-lash look!

Here is how it looks with both of the wands. I use it this way first and it gives great volume.

Here is what the smaller wand looks like when removed from the larger one. I have never seen anything like this before!

I use the skinny wand to define my lashes and on my lower lashes. It works really well! All in all, this is a great mascara. It doesn’t smudge or flake. I really like this and will continue to use it.

I am really liking all of these products. I will continue testing out the skincare, but so far are enjoying using them — especially the mist. The GlowCakes are perfect for the summer and I will be using both of them. The mascara is really fun to use and gives a dramatic look.

What do you think of these products? Will you be picking any of them up?

June 2018 Beauty Favorites

I can’t believe tomorrow is July! June (and the first half of the year) has just flown by! That means it’s time for my June favorites!

Since this was my birthday month, I got a lot of new products. Most of them I haven’t used enough to include in my favorites, but a few I instantly loved!

I loved two hydrating sprays this month, the Smashbox So Chill Coconut primer water and the Pacifica Crystal Power Hydro Mist. They both smell so nice and I like using them before makeup and for refreshing during the day. The Pacifica one is a bit lower in price, but the Smashbox one is my fave. It smells so amazing!

I bought the Fenty Beauty lip gloss in a set with a highlighter. The highlighter is pretty, but not really a shade I wear, it’s kind of peachy. But the gloss is amazing! It gives such a pretty shine and it’s sticky or goopy. I wear it almost every day either over lipstick or alone.

The NARS Orgasm mini blush was my birthday gift from Ulta. I’ve never really tried this and I love the shade. It’s shimmery and a coral-pink shade, which is perfect for summer.

The TATCHA The Silk Canvas Protective Primer was the item I’ve been wanting the most. It glides on and blurs my pores and fine lines. Plus it looks amazing under makeup and helps my foundation last. I don’t use it every day, because I want to make it last, but I love how I look when I do.

PIXI Beauty Jasmine Oil Blend smells amazing! It smells just like fresh jasmine flowers. I love this at night. It contains a jasmine flower extract, evening primrose and grape seed oil. It is so hydrating and it calms my red skin. In the morning my skin is bright and smooth.

My last favorite is Jergen’s Natural Glow Wet Skin Moisturizer. I’ve been using this in the lighter shade (which is in my shower), but I’m ready to go darker and use the medium to tan one shown. This is SO easy to use. You put it on when your skin is wet and pat it dry with your towel.

What are your faves for June?

Pixi Beauty Minis and Lip Balm — Perfect for Travel!

I love Pixi Beauty. It’s luxe beauty at an affordable price. I didn’t know that they offered mini sizes of some of their hero skincare. I was excited to receive the following for my honest review!

Glow Tonic (15 ml/.5 fl. oz. $4 USD) — This mini miracle-working toner helps to brighten the complexion resulting in a healthy glow. Glow Tonic is so refreshing and I really see a difference in my skin when I use this. I especially love this in the summer. My skin gets oily with the heat and stressed with the sun. This brightens my skin without drying it out.

Mini Glow Mud Cleanser (15 ml/.5 fl. oz. $6 USD) — Travel-size version of our deep pore cleansing mud that gently exfoliates while purifying for radiant skin. I like to use this once or twice a week. I have combination skin and this really cleanses it while keeping it soft and smooth.

Shea Butter Lip Balm ($8.00 USD) –Treat lips while giving them gorgeous colour with this multi-tasking miracle lip balm!

The shades I have are Sweet Peach and Honey Nectar. They are pretty on, just a light wash of color. And they are hydrating without being greasy. They contain Shea butter and Vitamin E. They are great to take on vacation because you get the double benefit of color and hydration.

These can be purchased at www.pixibeauty.com.

Treat Yourself With New Skincare This Spring!

It has been spring for a while, even though it’s still cold in many parts of the country! I tend to wear less makeup in the spring and summer months, so I like my skin to look it’s best.

Here are the latest skincare (and a natural deodorant) that I have been loving). They were sent to me for my honest review:

Image Skincare VITAL C Hydrating Facial Cleanser ($29 USD) — This creamy cleanser emulsifies makeup and gently removes impurities while nourishing skin with essential antioxidants and vitamins. It infuses skin with high levels of antioxidant vitamin C to brighten as it cleanses. This really gets rid of all of my makeup, which I love. Plus, it leaves my skin soft, not dry.

Purchase at imageskincare.com

Pixi Beauty Jasmine Oil Blend

Pixi Beauty T-Zone Peel Off Mask

Pixi Beauty Jasmine Oil Blend ($24 USD) — This exquisite oil blend is especially effective in helping skin recover from loss of moisture and dullness. It helps repair damage as well as calm and restore stressed and unbalanced skin. It smells just like fresh jasmine and is super hydrating. I like to use this at night. It’s also nice to add a drop or two in the bath!

Pixi Beauty T-Zone Peel Off Mask ($22 USD) — Detoxifying peel-off mask draws out impurities and lifts away oil to reveal immediate results. It contains a unique green super food blend that includes avocado, cucumber, aloe, green tea and bamboo extract to help firm & refine. It really takes all of the gunk out of my pores and makes them appear smaller.

Experience the brand NEW Lavanila Elements Collection, with three bold new scents: Vanilla + Air for Creativity, Vanilla + Water for Peace, and Vanilla + Earth for Balance. The Elements Collection uses specially curated blends of essential oils to awaken our connection to the Elements and the immense power within them.

Fresh and New Spring Makeup Part 2

Happy Sunday! It’s snowing in Kansas City, the second weekend in a row! We don’t get a lot of snow, so this is pretty irritating. My daughter’s lacrosse game has been cancelled again — she’s still waiting to play the first game of the season!

I did a new (and new to me) Spring makeup post last week. You can read it here. I still have more products I have been trying for the first time that I wanted to share. Here are some of my new faves:

Hard Candy Fox in a Box Scented Marbleized Baked Powder ($7 USD) The packaging on these powders are so fun and they smell good, too! The packaging has a scratch and sniff sticker, so you can see what the powder smells like.

There are five shades, 3 bronzers and two blushes. That’s what the Wal-Mart website shows. I do have the lightest bronzer called Girl Boss. It’s so light and shimmery that I use it as a highlighter. It’s very glowy. I also have the blush Girl Next Door. It’s a pretty soft pink.

The Hard Candy Fox in A Box Scented Marbleized Baked Powder are available at Walmart and Walmart.com.

Pixi Beauty Palette Chloette ($24 USD) — This palette is a collaboration between Pixi and You Tuber Chloe Morello. The palette contains Chloe’s favorite shades inspired by love and romance. Super silky blush and eye shades bring that “in-love glow” to your complexion & lids. Plus, there is a trio of matte eye contour & liner shades that double as brow powders to define.

This colors are really soft and pretty. The shimmery eye shadows can double as highlighters. This will be really nice in the summer and it will be great to have one palette that takes care of most of a makeup look.

Purchase at http://www.pixibeauty.com, Target.com and Target stores

Maybelline New York Master Precise Ink Metallic Eyeliner ($8.99 USD) — This broad range of eyeliners provides brilliant metallic, pop and glitter finishes for show stopping eyes. The high impact shades come in 7 vibrant colors that last up to 12 hours! This works well for a cut crease or a pop of color. I have the Solar Gold shade and it looks really nice over a black liner.

Maybelline New York Curvitude Liner ($8.99 USD) Maybelline’s first angled eyeliner hugs tightly to the curve of the lash line for the most sensationally refined eyes. The angled pen reaches over the lid and effortlessly fills above and behind lashes, while the 0.2MM flex tip precisely glides between every lash to create a fuller lash line. I haven’t tried this one yet, but I think it would make doing a winged liner easier.

Maybelline New York Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner ($9.99 USD) Combining the precision of liquid eyeliner with the ease of a gel formula, Lasting Drama gives intense color that stays all day. The gel formula holds more pigments than a traditional liquid liner, to create the most intense color. This comes in 4 shades — Blackest Black, Brown, Charcoal and Eggplant. I don’t usually wear black liner, but this one is so pigmented and rich! I love it for waterlines and tight lining and the other shades for definition and color. You could definitely do a wing with these, too.

***NEW Maybelline New York Master Fixer Makeup Remover Pen*** ($7.99 USD) Everyone makes mistakes! See mishaps disappear in the blink of an eye with Maybelline’s makeup corrector tool. Now, correct liner mistakes instantly, all without ruining your look. Maybelline’s makeup remover pen touches up any smudges or marks without leaving behind a greasy feeling.

Available at Maybelline.com

ybf Fall in Love Lipstick & Lipgloss duo ($22 USD) — This lightly scented, hydrating lipstick and lip gloss duo is suitable for every skin tone and will leave lips looking bold and voluptuous. With a creamy paraben-free formula infused with Smart Active Complexes, lips are rich, luminous and smooth for a soft n’ silky, pout.

The lipstick comes with a convenient case with a protractible mirror attached, making it the perfect lip essential to take and apply on the go.

The shades are Passionate Pink (in the photo above), Bloomin’ Berry/Rockin’ Raspberry, Regal & Romantic Red, & Kissable Coral. The lipsticks are very creamy and moisturizing. My favorite is the gloss. It is gorgeous, hydrating and not sticky at all!
