2021 Project Pan

2021 has been here for a bit, so I want to restart my project pan series. I’ve done this in the past (check out this post for my 2018 project pan), and it really motivates me, so it’s something I want to continue. It really helps keep me on track to use up some of my makeup and skincare, which is always a good thing. Scroll to the bottom for a complete list of my previous project pan posts I know it’s already the end of February, but I’ve already been working…

Project Pan 2019 6 Month Update

I can’t believe it’s already July! That means it’s already time for a 2019 Project Pan update! And y’all, it’s a good one. Last year at this time, I was stressing. I had barely completed any of my panning goals. But this year, I have a TON of progress, and that makes me so happy! If you want to see my intro post, check it out here! Let’s start with the items I’ve panned or finished. I finished two primers completely: the NYX Hydra Touch primer…

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…

November 2016 Ulta Haul

New makeup is one of my favorite things. Ulta recently had a one day, online only, 20% sale good on all items, including prestige brands. They don’t have 20% off prestige brands often, but I love when they do. I purchased a few items from the sale, and I’m excited to share! I’ll let you know which products I’ve tried so far, and how I feel about the ones I’ve tested.   Smashbox primer water was definitely on my list. My face is dry, so any hydration I can add…

How to Achieve a No Makeup Makeup Look

My mornings are usually very hectic. I am not at all a morning person, and I usually wait until the last possible second to get out of bed (sometimes later than the last possible second). I have to drag myself out of bed, and then I generally take my time getting ready, and end up rushing my makeup. I used to take my time with my makeup, and do my full face routine daily. After a certain point, though, it became tiresome and I realized I love sleep more than I love looking glamorous for people who don’t…
