Top 5 Posts of 2017

I got this idea by reading Stella’s post HERE and I thought that it was a really great idea. So, I am copying this one with express permission from the blogger herself. I really love this community and how no one has a problem with swapping content. I always give a link back, so I’m sure that helps out both of us. 🙂 Without further ado, this is my top 5 posts of 2017 and no, I didn’t peek first.

Pan That Palette 2017

I realized that project pan posts were really popular last year. Unfortunately, I didn’t stick with this project last year. Panning whole palettes aren’t my thing, but I am discovering more about my beauty preferences. This was my most popular post in 2017. Oh, and I am listing these in descending order starting with number 1. I am continuing with project pans and this was basically my start, but more popular than my first two projects. lol

Tophatter Auction Site Review

I almost forgot about this site and I really do like it. You can score really great beauty items at a low price. I will be hauling from here in a few months. I want to spend some of my birthday money here. I’ve had my eye on a few items and if I can get stuff that I want for 1/2 of the original price, why not?

Sephora Shopping List 2017

I should do an updated list and try to get the items on tophatter for way less than Sephora price. I like to see what stays on my list year after year. Do I not really want it? Or am I too on the fence about it? Or can I not bite the price bullet? I like seeing what others want to buy. Sephora is a real treat for me, so I am very wise about what I spend my hard earned money on in there.

Autism Talk on Beauty Blog

Most popular probably because of my comments section. I really want to do more controversial posts that I care about. I want to talk about some serious issues and this topic kinda opened the door for that for me on this blog. So be on the lookout for some posts in the future about my theory on social media and more autism posts for sure.

March Empties 2017

Most surprising is that March was a favorite empty post. I don’t think I used up anything exciting and by glancing through it, I only used up a couple popular items. I think it was also my second or first empty post of the year, so maybe that’s why? It was up for a long time? Empty posts are popular though and I like seeing the amount of stuff that I managed to use up/declutter.

Those are my 5 popular posts of 2017. What was yours?

Pan That Palette: Update #6 & 7

It has been a hot minute since I last did one of these posts. I cannot believe that two months have passed and I barely touched this palette. I got tired of wiping my makeup off after an hour of putting it on to swim in the pool with Dean. I still have a tan from all of our days in the sun. There is not much progress to show, but I’ll show it anyways.

To recap, I have hit pan on two shades and my goal was to hit pan on four shades. I also had a goal to use up 4 pans completely, but I have since scrapped that idea. I still want to hit pan on two more shades. I think that the purple cream corrector has a big dip going in it. I might hit pan soon on it. So, I am excited about that. I’m not sure which eye shadow I will hit pan on next. None of them are really showing much progress. I have been using the blushes a lot in this palette, though. Once I start/finish my Tarte blush, I am going to crack up these blushes and repress them into that pan. They will be easier to use that way than in these awkward small square pans.

Pan That Palette 2017

Hey guys!

I am starting Pan That Palette a month late, but better late than never right? I am panning the Smashbox Master Class Palette: Lightening Theory. My goal is to hit pan on the top row of matte neutral shadows and to finish up completely four of the cream products.

This palette is so pretty and the quality is on par. The eye shadows are a bit powdery, but offer amazing pigmentation. The creams are really silky, not oily. They have the right amount of slip to them and aren’t waxy at all. I want to use up the green and peach cream correctors and the bronzer and highlight in peach. I am pretty confident that I can achieve my goals of hitting pan on the eye shadows and using up four of the cream products. I just bought this palette, so I just want to get as much use out of it as possible before it goes bad. I want to actually use up my makeup when I buy it. I also want to buy a lot more makeup this year. So, there’s that.

I will be doing monthly updates, so you can expect another post in March with more close ups of the products, so you can really see my progress month by month. Right now, I’ve only used/swatched the colors a few times, so it’s like brand new. I only wear makeup like eye shadow on the weekends/days off from work. The cream products, I should be able to use everyday. Hence, why I only want to hit pan on the shadows and use up the ones that I can get use out of everyday.

With Love ❤
