Project Reduction 2013

   This is a variation of the project ten pan. I don't like just using up products and then buying more. It just doesn't work for me. Although I do have plenty of products that I don't like or is old and usable but not for very long. So this is why I have created the Project Reduction. In the year 2013 I will use up as many products as possible. At the end of the year I am going to show you guys what I have used up!

   I have made a list and currently have 70 things! A lot of them are samples but they still take up space. I will not stop buying stuff because a year is a long time! I am also not including body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. It is stuff everyone uses and would be too easy! So here is the basics of what I am going to try to use up this year!

• Face Powders: I have way too many. I am going to use up 5
• Concealers: 4 or more of these that are not very good
• Brow Stuff: 5 brow things that aren't good enough!
• Eye Shadows: Only a few are not really the best...
• Lipstick: The CG Lip Perfection and Rimmel Lasting Finish lipsticks are the best I know!
• Lip Gloss: I don't even use 75% of them :(
• Lip Balm I really like Carmex, Nivia, EOS, Softlips, and a couple other random things but I have way more than that!
• Primers: I only want to keep one face primer and one eye primer
• Skin Care: Using up more means trying more!
• Hair Care: A bunch of samples I don't really need...

Tell me if you are going to try this with me!

New Year, New Goals 2013

 Hello everyone! Happy New Year! I am so excited that the new year is here! I have some new year's resolutions to complete and I felt like sharing! Tell me in the comments what your resolutions are!

• Give Thanks: Everyday, God gives me something to be thankful for and most days I don't realize it. My goal is to write down 365 reasons to be thankful by the end of the year; one a day. I have been thinking about doing this for a while and decided that I should start recording it in the new year!
• Dust Out the Makeup Drawers: I have been trying to find a way to finish up a bunch of my products but I don't want to do a project ten pan or something. My goal is to finish everything that I have hit pan on within the year. I know it does not seem hard but I don't like to use extra stuff just to use up my products.
• Do Well in School: I am starting up a new, online public school that has a very rigorous curriculum and I want to do as well as I possibly can. My goal, although a bit cliché, is to get good grades and learn the material.
• Read, Read, and Read: I can never find the time to read except for 45 minutes a week during class. My goal is to finish the book/movie list that I got from a friend (before my birthday), read the Harry Potter series, Cassandra Clare's books, and many other great books! Since I will be at home, I will be able to have more leisure and reading time.
• Clean Out My Desk: I need to fins a way to store all of my nail polish, makeup, and art supplies where it is not on top of my desk so I have more room. My goal is to keep my workspace clear and my beauty/art supplies organized and available. THen I will have more space for school and projects.

So I am sorry this is late but I wanted to get it out there before I forgot!

December '12 Favorites

This is my last favorites of the month! Oh my! Well I do not have much to tell you about so I will just jump right in!

• ELF 100 Eyeshadow Palette: An array of colors to go very natural of very dramatic! And only $10!
• CG TruBlend Mineral Foundation: I mix this with my moisturizer and I cannot believe how the finish is so gorgeous!
• ELF Shimmering Facial Whip in Lilac Petal: I have been loving using this to highlight my cheekbones, nose, cupid's bow, chin and a bit on my forehead. it looks super natural and glowy! I have used this on my dark circles under my concealer and it was amazing!
• Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Alarm: I love the red lip! I used it during Nutcracker and I used it multiple times during December! It is perfect for a red lip because it is long wearing!

That all! What have you been loving?
