With the swap over this month from one type of job to a completely different one I wasn't sure how much I was going to get through and, as expected, there hasn't been a huge difference in most of the products.
Apart from one and that is the Soap and Glory Smoulder Kohl Waterproof Eyeliner in Superblack, which is now finished. I thought I had a little more to go and, as I'm only now wearing makeup on the weekends, I thought it was going to be a while before it went. However, when I was putting it on last week the last part of the eyeline fell out and landed on the floor. So, I'm calling it done. It is a good dark colour and is really easy to apply, but the staying power isn't as good as I remember (thought that could be due to the age of it) and it's on the grey area list on Logical Harmony so I'm not going to get anymore of their products for now.
I have been able to get a bit more use on my eyeshadows. I've now used around half of the Coconut About Me and The Body Shop purple eyeshadow which I used more of this month. The eyeshadow in Sea Shell has also finally shown some actual movement with the pan being much larger than before and I'm going to carry on using this over the year. There's also been a lot more movement in Sable as I am now using it as an undereye powder and a base shadow on my eyelids. I'm not expecting a lot more movement in these shadows for the next while as I want to get some more use out of my Urban Decay Naked 1 palette for the next couple of months. One thing I have decided to do is to get rid of the gold shade from my H&M palette (middle of the very right column). This is because I have golds in my Urban Decay palettes that are much better quality and are less powdery, with much better staying power. It is unlikely that I will ever reach for this (H&M is also in the grey areas of Logical Harmony) so I might as well get rid of it.
You can't really see any movement in my Urban Decay and it'll be interesting to see how much I get through over the next few months, but it may be that I need to do a 'Pan that Palette' on this palette specifically next year.
I've actually been quite enjoying wearing the Barry M nail varnish in Cyan this week, mainly because blue is my favourite colour, so it hasn't been too much of a chore. My use has been pretty consistent, but I have noticed that the formula has begun to get a little thicker now so we'll see how it goes over the next month. Barry M is a cruelty free company, but I want to look at more natural nail polishes in the future so I probably won't buy this again.
There is much more progress showing on the Barbara Day eye primer (again at the top) so it looks like there is finally some actual movement in this. I will keep using it throughout the year, but it is very unlikely that I will finish this by the end of the year.
As before, there is no obvious change in my MUA powder foundation in Shade 4 and the Bourjois blush in Ceidre 48. I'll be amazed if I hit pan on either of these by the end of the year.
I didn't manage to finish the Jean Paul Gaultier Eau De Parfum by the end of this month, but it is very near to being finished. I will carry on putting this on every day but, as it won't be as much as before, it'll probably take a couple more months before this is completely finished.
The other product is the Soap and Glory Thick & Fast Super Volume Mascara in Super Jet Black. I was actually quite disappointed with this product as I was expecting thicker lashes which lasted. Unfortunately, while it did make my lashes a little thicker it also flaked everywhere and I was constantly having to clean it up carefully (it smudged a lot across my skin when I tried to move it) throughout the day. I got around this by putting a waterproof mascara over the top, but I'd rather not have to do that. This and the fact that whether or not Soap and Glory is cruelty free is a grey area I won't buy this again.
