Project Ipsy January '17 Update

Hello lovelies, here is an update after a month of working on these products for project ipsy this year. I am a little disappointed that there isn't nearly as much progress as I thought there would be. But the year is young and I have plenty of time to work on all of these.

 Ofra - Universal Eyebrow Pencil - I haven't really finished this product as you can clearly see, but I have decided to declutter it. It was causing me to breakout which is really weird. I mean it made my eyebrows really irritated. However my sister likes this and is gladly going to take it off my hands.



Sexy Hair - Spray Clay - I didn't get around to using this at all.

Zoya - Nail Polish in Mason - I used this once and used it on my niece twice. I don't see any actual progress but I think that is because my line is too thick.

Bella Pierre - Mineral Shimmer - I have been using this as an eyeliner. It is such a beautiful navy with shimmer, the shimmer isn't really detectable. I wish it wasn't such a mess to use though. I need to remember to put on my face makeup after I use this.

Starlooks - Eyeliner in Amethyst - I used this a couple of times. Still just as beautiful and shimmery as the day I got it. It has a real brightening quality to it because it is lavender with really fine glitter running through it. I wish it didn't leave glitter on my face for days after I used it though.

J Cat - Big Lip Pencil in Caramel Mocha - I used this a couple of times. I have been working on lip products in other projects though so this was unnoticed for a lot of the month.

be a bombshell - The one Stick in Sunset - I think I used this once or at least swatched it. I am working on another cream blush for a different project so this was pretty neglected.

Mally - Eyeliner in Starshine - This silver eyeliner has been a great base for the loose eyeshadow. It makes it so much brighter on the eyes. Definitely a winning duo for me.

Zoya - Nail Polish in Odette - I didn't draw the line correctly on this for the intro and I didn't think it would be that big of a deal, but alas it was an issue because now the marking it true to where it needs to be.

NYX - butter gloss in Creme Brulee - I have been reaching for this a lot actaully. More than I thought I would be. I am able to see through the packaging when I swirl the product around in there. I think I can actually finish this up this year.

The pink lines are the intro, the purple lines are this months updates and intro.

And now the products I am adding in this month.

Absolute Lip Balm in green apple - I look forward to getting this out already so I am really going to try using it up.

Bare Minerals 5 in 1 base - this is a nice taupe eye shadow base. I think it is close to being done though so if I try with this I can actually get it done in the month of February.

Hikari lipstick in Cabernet - I don't think I am going to even come close to finishing this before the year is done, but I look forward to giving it some actual use.

OPI nail polish in Feeling Very Cherry - This is one of my favorite nail polishes that I own. You can't see the mark on there but I am about a third of the way through with this nail polish already.

It Cosmetics bye bye undereye concealer - I am almost out of my Mac Studio Fix concealer and this is the only other concealer I have that can actually cover my dark circles so I look forward to using this up.

So there is all the update and new products I am adding in. As a reminder, I did decide that no matter how many products I was using up per month I would be adding 5 new ones in. Hopefully I can start pushing products out or my updates are going to get ridiculously long. So far I have finished 3 ipsy products out of my goal of 50.
