Love Letters and Lace

 Hey everyone! So here is my update on my winter project pan! So: I completely finished the Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous Foundation and the Benefit Porefessional primer which I'm really happy about. The Maybelline Fit Me concealer seems to be one of those products that never ends! I use it on the daily and it just never seems to run out! I do think I'm on the last few drops of it now though.  I'm really happy with the progress I made on the Maybelline Blushed Nudes palette . While it doesnt look like much, I managed to hit pan on 2 more shades, which I think is pretty good. Forcing myself to use it more often also made me love it a lot more. This palette doesn't have the best reviews and I really don't know why because I really do think it's a great one overall. One product it seemed really hard for me to make progress on was the Marcelle Kohl eyeliner , even though I was using it frequently and sharpening it as well. I realized pretty soon after

If there's something I learned from my no-buy back in the Fall, it's that I really do have a LOT of makeup, a lot of it that has been sitting around, unused or half used and forgotten. That's why I decided I'm going to start my own Project Pan, to use up some of the products that need some loving/need to go. So from now until March 20th, 2017, I'm going to be working on finishing up these products! The products: Maybelline 'The Blushed Nudes' palette Benefit 'The Porefessional' Primer Marcelle Kohl Eyeliner Maybelline 'Fit Me' Concealer Covergirl 'Ready Set Gorgeous' Foundation Nyx Prismatic Eyeshadow in 'Girl Talk' All of these are products that I love, but have either been a bit neglected in my routine, or have just been lingering around for way too long. So I chose them to encourage myself to put them to more use. As you can see, I've already made a significant dent in this palette. My goal is to hit p

Hi everyone! Can you believe September is almost over? Was that the fastest month ever or what? I really wanted to take a little time to talk about my essential, must have makeup once Autumn comes around. While I'm not too strict when it comes to sticking to "seasonally appropriate" makeup, Fall is definitely my favourite season, so I definitely take advantage of it when it comes to my makeup choices. Here are the things that I think are definite must haves in your collection for the Autumn months! 1) A good under eye concealer/colour corrector Ah yes, back to school season. Midterms await, meaning sleepless nights and under eye darkness galore. Having a good heavy duty under eye concealer, and a good colour corrector is essential in the Fall. I recommend: Lancome 'Effacernes' Under Eye Concealer & Nyx Dark Circle Concealer/Corrector 2) A Cool Toned Nude Lipstick When I think of Fall lipstick, I think of 2 things: a vampy wine colour, and a cool

I know I say this every month, but how fast did August go by? It was a really great month for me but I'm already super excited for fall now. I didn't try out too many new products during the month of August but I really did fall in love with a small handful. I think this was the month where I went out of my comfort zone a lot more in terms of eyeshadow and lip colours. I also went on a road trip that resulted in a fair bit of shopping. Anyway, looking through the products I used the most this month, these are the ones that stood out to me the most: Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette I actually only purchased this palette this month and I'm so glad I decided to go for it. It is a very neutral palette, which is right up my alley of course. I already knew that I loved the formulation of Too Faced eye shadows so I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. I only wish I picked this up sooner. Nyx Lip Lingerie in 'Exotic'  I wanted to pick up some of Nyx's Lip L

This product is such a throwback for me. Covergirl's 'Clean' Foundation for Sensitive skin is the first foundation I ever purchased back when I was in high school and just getting into wearing makeup. Of course, this is a new bottle but using it brings back the memories. From what I've seen at the drugstore, they're repackaged this foundation, so it doesn't look like this anymore. The print on the front of the bottle is now a lighter green but it's still in the same glass bottle. The Claims Lightweight Unscented Oil-free Soothes redness Moisturizes dryness Does not irritate skin or clog pores The Results This foundation was very lightweight on the skin but it also gave light coverage As claimed, it is unscented I didn't notice any irritation or break outs caused from this foundation I did not find it to be moisturizing nor drying; it kind of just sat on top of my skin  I found that it would cling to any dry patches on my skin Ev

So many drugstore foundations get a lot of hype on the internet, but I feel like Covergirl's 'Ready Set Gorgeous' foundation never really got much attention. I guess I can understand why; packaging wise, it isn't exactly the most intriguing. There's nothing necessarily wrong with it, but I feel the plastic and bright pink on it may make you think twice about it. Which I think is a shame, because this is a truly fantastic foundation. I myself am guilty of judging the foundation by it's packaging. In fact, I probably wouldn't have even tried it if it wasn't on sale. Even once I did, I didn't even have the highest expectations for it. Of course, I was pleasantly surprised. The claims-  Oil-free formula Medium coverage to give a natural, flawless look The facts-  Here is what I found with this foundation: It comes in 12 different shades This foundation gives about a medium coverage, that is buildable without becoming cake

Wow, can you believe its June already? This  month flew by so quickly! Luckily, I did also discover a ton of amazing new products that I cannot wait to share with you all! Nyx HD Concealer in "Fair" The fact that this is a drugstore concealer blows my mind. It is so creamy and offers amazing coverage. Hands down the best concealer I've ever used on my under eye circles! Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous foundation (in 110 creamy natural) I'm really liking this foundation this month. It offers a light to medium coverage which is what I like to have in the summer. It wears really well, even on really hot or humid days, which is a must! Too Faced Shadow Insurance I know this stuff has been around for ages, but WOW is it ever good. It can not only hold glittery eyeshadows for hours without any creasing, but it actually makes them look SO much better. It even increases the amount of pigmentation you get from your shadow!
