I knew this month was going to be one of those slow transitional months, where your mainly just warring the product down rather then using it up. But it’s also the last month I’ll have the opportunity to wear as much makeup for the rest of the year and therefore the last opportunity to really get through the stuff. That being said I didn’t actually wear any at all this week when I was visiting family – ops.
Though the progress was slow I did manage to use up one product and that was the Neal’s Yard hand cream in Wild Rose. There’s not too much to say about this product really. It moisturises your hands and smells quite nice. It’s possibly not as thick as I need it to be and a bit pricey to buy again, but Neal’s Yard is a cruelty free company and I do like the fact that a number of their products come in glass. Now it’stime to start working on the Neutrogena anti-aging hand cream.
And now for the rest. I have made progress on the Gosh Velvet Touch Matt lipstick in Plum, though not as much as I had hoped with it being the only lipstick I wore this month. I am going to take a break from it as a lipstick in April, but I have noticed that it makes a very good cheek stain and will keep working at it as that. There have been no change with the other lipsticks in this project.
The Living Nature eye liner in Midnight is another product I use everyday I wear makeup but which show little progress. This isn’t a surprise with eye liners though as you never really need that much of them. I’m going to do some more smoky looks in the future to try and get some more use out of this. It also very blend able and I might experiment with it to darken up some eyeshadows.
I’ve only just started using the NYX Dark Circle Concealer Corrector in Light / Pale this month so there’s not going to be a big change between the start of the project and now. It’s also not a product that is easy to layer so only a small amount can be used at a time. Thankfully there was already a big dip in it so I’m still hopeful that I’ll finish it by the end of 2018. It doesn’t supply the best coverage, but I’ll keep working at it.
There’s been a change in the way the roll ball part of the Pacifica roll-on perfume in Island Vanilla now works, similar to the Blood Orange perfume I had before, which means it now lets out more of the product. Whilst there still hasn’t been a huge amount of progress I think it’s definitely going to increase now. The scent is a little longer wearing in this fragrance and I do enjoy it, I just don’t like the applicator as much as I thought I would.
I almost feel like not bothering to put in the Barbara Day eye primer in this update, it’s almost a running joke now. I use it every time I wear makeup but there is not an obvious progress.........yet.
I’m now using the Burt’s Bees hand salve a lot more now that I’m no longer wearing nail varnish, especially as I’m trying to improve the health of my nails after years of wearing polish. However, you still need very little of this so it’s another product that’s showing very little progress and is in for the long haul. I do think I will be able to get this finished at the end of the year.
The Argan Oil hair treatment is one of those items I keep forgetting to use. My hair could probably do with this extra TLC, but it just keeps slipping my mind. I need to find some way of reminding myself to use it, as so far everything else I’ve tried hasn’t worked. Because of that there hasn’t been any progress since the last update. Any advice on this please let me know.
One additional product I’ve finished this month which isn’t in the project is the Green People sun cream in SPF 30. I’ve had this for a while now and as sun creams have definite shelf lives I wanted to make sure this was finished before that was up. We haven’t exactly been having the right weather recently to be able to have much flesh so I’ve been mostly using this on my face. Whilst it’s not specifically a face sun block it did go on really well, my skins didn’t react to it badly, and it actually made quite a good base for my makeup. I have other sun cream I need to get through at the moment, but once that’s gone I’ll definitely look into the possibility of getting this again. It is very effective, my skin seems to like it, and Green People is a cruelty free company.
The last product is the Lush Eyes Right Mascara. I'm not really sure how I feel about this product. On the plus side it uses more natural products, is vegan, and cruelty free. However, the product is quite a wet product (though it improves a lot once it's dried out for about a month), did flake a fair amount throughout the day, and didn't really give my eye lashes the look I was looking for. Basically with this product, if you just want darker, natural lashes, and don't mind a bit of flaking then this mascara is for you. Otherwise, another mascara might be for you.
