Beauty Vixen

Way back in January I decided to embark in a Project Pan, now it is time to take a peek at my progress.

I honestly haven't been the best, I did well throughout January and February but then kind of just stopped. I am still trying, but I am not doing my best. Regardless, let us take a peek at my progress and see where I am going next.
Acure Moroccan Argan Oil:
I used this one up! 🎉 I am so happy to use this one up. Acure has new packaging and I really want to try out the Rose Argan version, but first I must use some other oils up so I will be holding off on that for a bit.

Smashbox Primer Oil:
I managed to do some serious damage to this primer this winter, but not as much as I would like. It is currently sitting at a bit more than half finished. I feel the major problem was that I stopped wearing foundation for a while because my skin was just too dry this winter. I am going to continue to try to use it up because I have NYX's primer oil too and really only want one bottle to hang around my collection.
The Estée Edit by Estée Lauder Late Night Eraser Brightening Eye Balm with Pink Peony:I just couldn't use this up. I really just didn't like this eye cream, I thought I would, but nope. So I tossed it. That is the point of this right? Use it or toss it.

Cover FX Illuminating Primer:
I tossed this, there just wasn't a whole lot left and I just never used it. It was not enough for my winter skin and I clearly don't want to use it.
Benefit Boi-ing Concealer (Industrial Strenght Full Coverage):
Even though it might not show, I did manage to use quite a bit more of this concealer up. I plan on using it a lot more the next few weeks to hopefully use it up once and for all

Benefit Boi-ing Hydrating Concealer:
I used this one up. 🎉 Truth be told I tried to scoop the rest of this product out of the tube like one would with lipstick, but it just was a mess due to the two layers. With that, I will say it is done and been trashed.

Jouviance Radiance Booster:I used it up. 🎉 I used it for a month and then it was gone. I must say these little toothpaste squeezers really help make sure you get what you need out and not let air into the tubes.

Vichy ProEven BB:I am still working on this one, but it should be done soon or I will toss it.

There you go, I finished 3 items and tossed 2, which means I have 3 I still need to work on. So I went from 8 to 3 items. Woot, I call that a success. I probably won't be doing another update on this, but I may do a next stage where I add a few more items and follow those items progress. Overall I am pretty happy with myself.

Every once and a while, Sephora releases a Sephora Favourites 'Give Me Some Lip" set. Last year there was great nude lip set, this year they are doing it again.

Filled with full size and minis of various nude shades, this set is a great way to try out a bunch of new lip products at a great price.

It costs $33.00 Cad and has a value of $103.00, it has 2 full sized and 4 minis in it.
The set contains:
- 1.55 g (mini) Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Honeycomb (beige nude)  
- 1.55 g (mini) Buxom Full-On Lip Cream in White Russian (nude) 
- 0.25 g (full sized) Estée Edit The Barest Contour lip Liner in 05 In The Buff (satin nude) 
- 1.7 g (mini)  Marc Jacobs Beauty Le Marc Lip Crème in 246 Slow Burn (creamy nude rose) 
- 2.3 mL(Mini) Too Faced Cosmetics Melted Matte Liquified Matte Long Wear Lipstick in Queen B (matte soft mauve) 
- 3.4 g (full sized) Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in 1993 Comfort Matte (medium brown)
Urban Decay's 1993 and Estee Edit liner in The Buff work perfectly together making it great that you get a full size of each (less chance of running out of one). They are both mid range brown shades.

Bite has won me over in the last few years with their lipsticks, I already had Honeycomb as a mini from their xmas Perfect Bite Set so this one is going away until I finish the other. I can say it has quickly become my go to nude. 

Buxom provides this years lip gloss option with White Russian. I also have this from a past set too. I seem to have never reached for this one, so I am going to give it more of a go now. It is a more opaque lip gloss that has a pinky nudeness to it. I find it can really create lines on your lips when it settles.

Marc Jacobs' Slow Burn is a rosy nude. I have two other mini MJ lipsticks but never wear them, maybe this one I will get more wear out of.

Too Faced's Queen B provides the long-wearing matte gloss in this set. I actually really am liking the Melted Matte line, so I am glad to try out another one. This nude runs more mauve then the rest.
Overall I am liking this set. I get to try out some new products for a great price (UD lipsticks run $21). I think it is worth checking out if you are in the market for some new nude shades in your life.

What do you think of the set?
