All About Single Shadows

Single shadows are some of my favorite eyeshadows. I love having the ability to customize a palette, and build a collection customized to my own style. It’s a great way to try out a brand without spending a ton of money, or add just one color to your collection that you’ve been wanting to try. I’ll list some of my favorite companies that carry single shadows at the bottom of this post, as well as some companies I want to try. I’ve tried a few single shadows from some companies, and bundles…

2019 Project Pan

This post is coming pretty late. I know, I know, it’s almost March. But better late than never, right? If you don’t know what project panning is, check out my 2018 Project Pan. It was my first year of panning, and I loved it. I took these pictures in January, and I’ve been working on panning these products the entire year, but I’m just now sharing them (fun fact: I’ve already finished or hit pan on some products!). I’m including two eyeliners in my project this year. The…

2018 Bonus Project Pan

I know a lot of people have been keeping up with my 2018 project pan (that’s now complete). I talked about my conclusions in my project finale. I’m very excited to share that I hit pan on a few bonus products that weren’t in my project! First, I finished two setting sprays. I love both the Urban Decay All Nighter and Skindinavia setting sprays. I used a travel size of the UD spray, and a full size of the Skindinavia. They’re definitely two of my favorites. I finished a concealer and primer…

My Favorite Cruelty Free Skincare Products

As of November, I haven’t been purchasing any cruelty free skincare or makeup. I’ve had to stop purchasing some of my favorite items, but I’ve found some really great CF items. I thought I’d share some of my favorites. Sun protection is so important, especially for someone as fair as I am. My nieces play softball every weekend, so I’m in the sun a lot throughout the summer. This means I need to make sure my skin is protected as much as possible. I’ve been loving Sun Bum…

Project Pan 2018 Six Month Update

I can’t believe it’s already July. It seems like it just changed from 2017 to 2018. I said in January that I wasn’t setting any resolutions to follow, but I did set a few goals. One of the goals I set was to pan some of my makeup products. If you don’t know what project panning is, check out my original 2018 Project Pan post. You can see where I started at the beginning of the year. Today I’m going to go over my 6 month update to show my…

Project Pan 2018

Hello, my name is Courtney, and I’m a makeup addict. My best friend Rachel is also a makeup addict. This is not good for either one of us, or our wallets. I got into makeup (I mean, seriously got into makeup) about 3 years ago, and it was mostly thanks to Rachel and my friend Sam. Since then, my collection has grown quite a bit. In November, Rachel told me about a YouTube series she’d gotten into, called the 12 pans of Christmas, which is part of a project pan segment. She suggested that I get…
