Project Ipsy Reboot February Update

Hello lovelies, I am a little overdue on posting my update on my project ipsy. Too be honest I am a little reluctant to do this because I still haven't finished anything and it is kind of discouraging and I am only 2 months in. I really need to buckle down on these products or else I won't finish anything this year.

1. Sexy Hair Spray Clay - Didn't use this at all this month.

2. Bella Terra Mineral Shimmer in Navy - Haven't used this either.

3. Starlooks Eyeliner in Amethyst - No progress to show here but I did use this a couple times. I just don't need to sharpen it.

4. J Cat Big Lip Pencil in Caramel Mocha - Same steady progress on this one. I think this was the only product that showed a decent amount of progress honestly.

5. Mally Eyeliner in Star Shine - I think I used this once. Silver eyeliner is just not the most everyday type of thing for me.

6. Zoya Nail Polish in Odette - The only other product where you can see some actual progress.

7. Nyx Butter Gloss in Creme Brule - This is still going strong even though I can see a lot through the sides of the packaging.

8. Nicole by OPI Nail Polish in Feeling Very Cherry - I think I used this once this month.

9. It Bye Bye Undereye - Still the concealer that won't quit. I have been trying to make a conscious effort to use it more though.

10. Urban Decay Ozone lipliner - Somehow managed to make zero progress with this. I haven't been reaching for lip liners much though.

11. Bella Pierre eyeliner in Ebony - A little surprised at my progress on this one honestly.

12. Trestique Eye Crayon in Aspen Pine - I used this once and really enjoyed the look, but it barely made a dent in the usage.

13. Skone Lip Liner in Wine - Didn't use this at all.

14. Aila Nail Laquer in Mister Pookies - Made the littlest bit of progress with this one.

15. The Balm Liquid Lipstick in Committed - Not gonna lie I forgot this was a part of the project. I did use it a couple of times though.

Products that I will be adding in this month:

16. Coastal Scents eyeliner in 01 - Another black eyeliner. This is just gonna make the progress on all of this that much more difficult for me.

17. KB Shimmer nail Polish in My Life's Porpoise - As you can see this is basically brand new. Every time I try to paint my nails with it I am not the biggest fan. However, I used it yesterday and I actually liked it. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that my hands are a little tanner here in FL.

18. Luxie Eyeshadow in No. 290 - I love this single and it has been a while since I reached for it. Kind of excited that it got added to this project. Goal is to hit pan not completely finish it up.

19. Model Co Highlighting Trio - I am only going to pan the champagne shade. I know I won't use the pink or the tan because neither one suits my skin tone. This is a good highlighter, but it has glitter in it so hopefully I can move this out sooner rather than later.

20. Pacifica Lipstick in Nudie Red - I enjoy this color so I am hoping it won't be too hard to pan.

There you have it. Like I said in the beginning the progress is really discouraging. Honestly I am due to have my baby any day now so I don't even know how much progress I will actually make in the next month either. I am gonna try and put more effort into it though.

Project 10 Pan Update #2

Hello lovely people, I have for you today an update on my project 10 pan. It has been a month since my last update and unfortunately I haven't finished any more projects since my last update. I do have some progress though so here we go!

1. Smashbox Primer Water - So close to being done with this. If I had worn makeup a little more I may have been done with this, but as of right now it is still hanging on.

2. NYC lipgloss in Nude York City - I am making good progress on this I think. I am starting to see through the sides of the packaging.

3. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze - I used this once maybe twice since the last update. However since I took these pics on the 5th I have found the brush that I like to use with it and have been using this much more.

4. Jordana eye liner in Espresso Last - Not nearly as good progress on this pencil as last time, but still some progress. I just need to go back to using it to line my lash line.

5. Essence Lip liner in Satin Mauve - sort of steady progress with this lip pencil. I have a long way to go but feel like I have been using it a lot since I made these lines.

6. J Cat Big lip Pencil in Caramel Mocha - same steady and slow progress with this lippie.

7. Tarte Cheek Stain in Dazed - why are cream products never ending?! I keep avoiding using this because it is an extra step, but on my more natural makeup days I really like the effect.

8. Tarte The Sculptor - Again a never ending cream product. A little less progress with this because there are honestly just days where I cannot be bothered to try and blend it out for ages.

9. Benefit Hoola - You can't really tell from the picture but the dip in this is giving me so much hope. I really do love this bronzer.

10. Yu-Be Lip Balm - This is a really waxy lip balm so I am not surprised that it is gonna take me a little longer to get through. I will be glad when it is gone though that is for sure.

11. Benefit License to Blot - I have been really enjoying using this as a primer in my t-zone. I don't know if that is how I am supposed to use it, but I like it none the less that way.

So there is my update for you all. My next update will definitely be when I finish the Smashbox Primer water which may be next week. I took these photos a week ago so I know the products will have 2 weeks worth of progress even though the posts will probably be a week apart. I may also give myself an easier product to work on to replace the primer water because some of these products are making me lose some hope here.

Project Ipsy Reboot January Update

Hello lovely readers. Happy new year! First post of the year is going to be a project pan update on my reboot of project ipsy. I have been working on these products for a month now and I have to say that the progress is seriously underwhelming and I am not on the best start with this project. I refuse to lose hope though and think the 5 new additions to the project are some good additions this early on in the year because they will take a little longer to get through. Anyway, I'll just get into the products now and try not to drone on about each item because there is a lot to get through.

1. Sexy Hair Spray Clay -  I used this once. I'm glad I used it the one time, but I really need to just get this gone because I don't know whether I actually like this product or not. I don't curl my hair often and so I know I don't use this as much and I thought having this in a project would make me use it more but apparently not.

2. Bella Terra Mineral Pigment in Navy Shimmer - I used this a ton. I hadn't remarked it at the start of the project so I don't know how accurate the red line is, but the blue line on there now shows that I used this a lot. I did a really pretty navy eyeliner look that was super dramatic.

3. Starlooks Eye Liner in Amethyst - I thought I was using this a lot, but eyeliners are near impossible for me to work through. Especially something in this tone and has this much sparkle. I have hope that I can get through 1/2 of this pencil by the end of the year.

4. J Cat Big Lip Pencil in Caramel Mocha - I thought I had used more of this than I did, but apparently not.

5. Mally Eye Liner in Star Shine - I haven't used this much as you can see. Silver eye liner will take me a little longer to work through.

6. Zoya Nail Polish in Odette - I think I made decent progress on this. I used it a lot because it is a neutral color. I do 2 coats when I paint my nails so I guess that helped me move through it as well.

7. NYX Buttergloss in Creme Brulee - I can actually see through the packaging a lot now. There is definitely hope that I will finish a lipgloss.

8. Nicole by OPI Nail polish in Feeling Very Cherry - You can't really see the update line, but considering I felt I used this a few times there isn't much progress.

9. It Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye - I feel like I am finally making progress on this concealer. I swear this was the never ending concealer for so long.

10. Urban Decay Lip liner in Ozone - I felt like I had to constantly remind myself to use this. I prefer lip liners that have actual pigment to them and don't think this makes any difference in the staying power of my lipstick while using this.

And now for the 5 new additions for the month!

11. Bella Pierre eyeliner in Ebony - This is one of my favorite black eye liners. I feel like this stays put best in my waterline.

12. Trestique Mini Shadow Crayon in Aspen Pine - A sparkly green shadow crayon. This will take some time to work on because I don't think I'm gonna use it that often, but I have hope by the end of the year.

13. Skone Lip/Eye Liner in Wine - This is another product that is gonna take some time for me to get through. I don't wear this color on my lips much at all so I am gonna try it as an eye liner.

14. Aila Nail Polish in Mister Pookies - This is one of my favorite neutrals and I love painting my nails with this so I don't think it will be too hard for me to get through by the end of the year.

15. The Balm Liquid Lipstick in Committed - I've used this a few times and it isn't my favorite formula. I don't think it will take too long though since it is such a small lip product.

Well there it is. I have hope for some of these products. I don't know that I will have any of them done by the next update. Maybe the concealer and lip gloss, but the rest of the products will probably take me a few months to get through.

How are your current projects going? Are you joining me in project ipsy?
