7 Summer Flings Finale

Hello lovelies, I am a week late with this update, but I did take the photos on the first day of Autumn. I managed to finish 3 more products, which makes a total of 5. I thought I would do a bit better on the products, but I am happy with all the progress that was made.

St. Ives spray lotion - Love the smell of this, but I prefer the regular lotion instead. I didn't feel like this one provided enough moisturization.

Jergens natural glow - I didn't like the smell of this and I don't think it actually made me any tanner. 

Mario Badescu facial spray - I already have a backup of this. 

ELF Mineral face primer - I am ready to put this away for a while. I am not sure how I feel about it and I think I just need a break from it. 

Bath and Body Works liplicious - I really thought I would get through this by the end of the project, and I was close, but oh well. This is something that I wanted to have done by the end of the year and because of this project I think that it is actually possible now. 

Empties and Finale on Project 15 Pan

Hello lovelies, I have made my empties bin a little bit smaller so that I am not waiting so long to update you all so when I added an empty mask packet in there I realized that the box was hardly closing and it was probably time for an updated empties post. I am also including the finale for a project 15 pan that I was doing. I finished or decluttered more than a few products based on that project so I am considering it done. There are a lot of products to get through here so I will get right into it! 

Tony Moly - I'm Real Rice Mask Sheet - This made my skin feel amazing afterwards. I was having some issues with minor breakouts all over my skin and this really helped clear it up. 

Garnier - Clean + Blackhead Eliminating Scrub - I really enjoyed this scrub while I used it. My sister in law bought me a full size bottle of it and I am happy to have it. I will most likely repurchase this in the future.

Lather - Ultra Light Face Lotion - Just a moisturizer, nothing spectacular about it. Wouldn't repurchase because it doesn't have SPF in it.

Sephora - Rose eye mask - I have used eye masks quite a bit lately, but I just don't understand them. I mean, with a face mask I usually see the difference right away or not at all. With eye masks I just never see the difference. I don't even feel the difference.

Sephora - Lotus Sleeping Mask - I wouldn't repurchase this specific one, but I have liked other masks in this line.

ELF - Lip Exfoliator - I just really don't like this because it dries out my lips as opposed to making them feel soft and smooth. Definitely not going to repurchase this again.

Doo Gro - Mega Thick Growth Oil - I don't know that this made my hair grow any faster, but it was nice to imagine that it did.

Clear Eyes - Triple Action eye drops - This works well, but I am not allowed to use these eye drops anymore because I had eye surgery. These are very inexpensive so I don't mind tossing them.

Almay - Smart Shade - love this stuff and definitely need to purchase it in a full size once I get through a few more bb creams and foundations. 

CVS - Brow Pencil in brown - this did the job, but I prefer powder or pomade over pencils.

Sally Hansen - Hard as Nails in Hard-Core Party - Decent polish, no need for me to repurchase this any time soon. I use to do french tip nails and this was a great base for that.  

Sally Hansen - Xtreme Wear in Lacey Lilac - there was a time when I was really into this color but not anymore. I also have bottles from ipsy that are newer than this if I do want to go for that color.

Real Techniques - Miracle Complexion Sponge - I much prefer the Ulta sponges at this point. All the ones like this that I have used have been different. I don't understand the inconsistencies in production.

em - Waterline in Turquoise - this has beyond dried out. I recently went through all my liners and this practically scratched my hand when I swatched it. I have too many green eye liners to try and make this work.

Loreal - Telescopic Shocking Extensions mascara - Love this mascara, but I have ones that I prefer over it. I do have another back up of it though.

So there it is. I went through a lot of products recently. Always happy to see some makeup products in my empties. They are little personal victories for me.

a/n so this should have gone up over a month ago, not sure how I overlooked that. Better late than never though! 

Project Ipsy Month 9 Update

Hello lovelies, I have another update on my project ipsy. This has been a different kind of month for me in that I have really started to look at these products and question whether I actually want to use them or if they are even still usable. So there are a couple more "empties" for this update than normal.

Avene Thermal Spring Water - I used this on the days where I was far too lazy to get up and go wet my makeup sponge in the bathroom so I went through it pretty quickly I think. I prefer something that isn't so strong of a spray and more of a mist so I won't be purchasing this.

Hang Ten tanning oil - I have confirmed that this makes my skin breakout. I always get a rash after using it so I will definitely be staying away from tanning oils in the future.

NYX Butter Lip Balm - I said I was going to declutter this and well I am. I have lip balms that actually moisturize my lips to get through and that won't stain everything red, so definitely won't be repurcahsing any of these.

em cosmetics waterliner in Turquoise - I was recently decluttering my collection and found that I have I think it was 10 green eyeliners. Quite frankly no one in their right mind needs that many so as I was swatching all of them to see which I would get rid of I realized how uncreamy this on is. 

Pixi Flawless Beauty Primer - I have been using this a lot lately. I am really enjoying a lit from within look and this is perfect for it.

Pure Brazillion Leave in Conditioner - I could have considered this done because it isn't coming out of the spray nozzle anymore, but it is liquidy enough that I can pour the rest out to use it.

Absolute Lip Balm - I have hit some serious side pan and am going to keep working my way through this. I don't think this is something that I can have done by the end of the year though. It takes a while to get through it.

Ofra Shadow in Bliss - You can't tell in this picture but I am probably less than a week away from hitting pan on this shadow. It is a gorgeous rose-gold/champagne color and I don't mind using it. 

St. Tropez Gradual Tan - made a huge jump in progress with this. I decided that using it on my legs is better than my face because it was giving me a pretty orange tint to my face that I wasn't a fan of. 

Vasanti Face Exfoliator - I have been enjoying this well enough. I do prefer something that has more skin care properties in it and this just isn't covering it for my blackheads and breakouts. 

Chella Ivory Lace highlighting Pencil - I have been really enjoying using this to clean up my brows and so that is helping me get through it a little faster. 

J Cat Big Lip Pencil in Caramel Mocha - Have been enjoying this as a purse lippie and since I have been out a lot lately that is working to get me through it. I have switched it to my makeup stand and it may make its way to my back pack to use at school.

Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick in Get Ready - I have been enjoying this a little more than I used to and I think it is because I am a bit tanner. I am going to have to try and get through it while I still have some color to my face.

Starlooks Amethyst eye liner - I have been really experimenting with this eyeliner. Makes for an interesting brow product!

NYX Slim Pencil in Silver Shimmer - Again reaching for this as a brow product. it also looked interesting on the eyelids. Still need to do a little more experimenting though.

Mary Kay eye crayon in Turquoise - I used this as a base for a blue eyeliner look that I did and it came out really pretty.

It Cosmetics Brow Pencil - This is not my favorite eye brow product, but I am working through it.

Not Soap Radio lotion - I think this would make a really great lotion to through in my back pack.

Trestique mini lipcrayon in Nantucket Nude - I am really hoping that it won't take me too long to get through this, but I have had it as a fail in another project pan.

La Vanilla roller ball in Pure Vanilla - I feel like this would be a great scent for the Fall/Winter season. Also I have been really enjoying using roller balls.

be a bombshell lip balm in French Kiss - there is a bit of this lip balm left but I think I am going to keep this for work. I get through a lot of lip balm that way. Also I thought it would be a good substitute for getting rid of the NYX one.

So that was a really long post. I have officially made it through 32 ipsy products. That is a huge jump from last month and even though a lot of that number is products that were decluttered, more of it was products that I actually used up. I definitely feel like I will have another I think 4 products done from this list as well as the products that I am making my way through that aren't here.
