Another month gone by in a flash it seems.
This month I finished up products surrounding my self care category. Ive been trying to make sure to use up all of my oldest items.
Im a little sad to have used up my Kate Somerville Exfolikate and I only have a very small deluxe sample of it. I have to use up some more mask type products before I purchase another one.
I was able to use up $70.99 last month.
What did you finish last month?
Im taking a slight break from posting my inventory to post my February empties.
I managed to use up $147.76 worth of products.
My BareMinerals travel brush broke early this month. Somewhere I have another one. I used it for almost every powder foundation application. I dont think they sell this particular brush anymore, which is disappointing.
I dont do in-depth reviews on my empties any longer – but I wanted to briefly tell yall to save your money when it comes to the Elemis day cream. (Its hard to see it in the photo below.) This moisturizer smells EXACTLY like Noxzema only for a LOT more money.
How did you do last month?
I wanted to share my skincare inventory this year – mostly to keep myself accountable. Ill be splitting it into manageable sections over the course of the next few blog posts.
In this post, Ill be sharing my moisturizers.
Similarly to my eye creams, most of these were acquired in 2020 thru various subscription boxes or for review.
I am currently working on the Belif and the Dr Jart moisturizers. Ill be using them from left to right (in order that I received them).
Have you used any of the moisturizers pictured above? I havent used any of them before so I would love to know your thoughts.
Since we are still dealing with a global pandemic, I decided to start my year off with using items I know I can use. Skin care is something I use no matter what is going on, and I always have enough back stock to keep using skin care in different projects. I know this isnt the most exciting type of year long project, but achievable goals are important.
Many of the items Ill be starting out with have been in prior projects while others just happen to be the next oldest products in my stash. As I finish an item, Ill be rolling in another of a similar type.
My biggest goal this year for this project is to finish my full size Peter Thomas Roth Hungarian Thermal Water Heat Mask.
Here are the products I will be working on:
Will you be doing any type of year long project?
Since I dont foresee myself finishing anything else this month, I decided to post my empties a little early.
I am so pleased to have finished so many full size bath products this month. It takes me forever to finish a full size shampoo and conditioner because I have such short hair.
I have also used up a number of skin care foils – most were in my final push project I recently began.
My total of empties this month is $69.95!
Were you able to finish anything?
My apologies for my absence last week, but I had some medical issues to attend to.
As some of you might know, Im doing a Project 20 Pan. As I finish an item, Ill be replacing it with another in the same category.
Well, I finished 4 items!
Im pretty sure that I will be able to finish the Dionis hand cream and Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer by the end of March due to how much product Ive already used before neglecting them previously.
Have you used up any items? Are you working thru any older products youve had stored away?
I can hardly believe that we have finished a month into the new year already. I did not finish up a lot of products this month, but I managed to finish up some deluxe sized skincare and two perfume samples.
Since many of these products make regular appearances in my empties, I do not have much to say about any of these items that I havent said already.
This months empties total is $78.78
Were you able to finish anything last month?
I have decided to do another rolling project pan as well as continue to work thru my perfumes.
I will be doing this years project a little different than in the past. I will be doing 10 body care products and 10 Makeup products. I will be rolling in new items as I finish.
For Body Care, I will be working on:
For Makeup, I will be working on:
I will also be continuing to work on using my perfumes. This year, Ill be concentrating on trying to use up two rollerballs and at least one deluxe sized mini. I hope to finish 10 decanted samples. (I finished 33 of these last year.)
I also want to hit pan on at least 20 eyeshadows this year.
Are you planning on doing a project pan this year?
Are you like me and accumulate foil samples? I seem to just put most of them in a drawer – almost never to be seen again.
In the past few years, I have given some samples that weren’t for me to those who might have some use for them, or I have included them into my Poshmark/Mercari sales.
But I really need to use the foil samples I kept because some of these samples have been sitting in a drawer for over a year and might be very close to expiration. I have decided that I will not be obtaining any more samples until all the foil samples have been used up.
As you can see in the photo below – I have several high end foil samples. Some of the brands pictured below include: Algenist, Milk, Mac, Elemis, Clinique, Glamglow. I will be working these into my daily routine until they are all finished.
Do you make it a point to use up the foil samples you get with your orders?
This year I resolved to completely use up the products in my collection, and that includes the samples Ive been getting in my subscription boxes.
I think I did a great job using up all of the things for the first month!
