It's exactly what it looks like: Post #27: November: Empties, Decluttering, & 12 Pans of Christmas UPDATE, oh my!

November Empties/Used up products

1. Clean & Clear Nightly Face Wash - I have been using Clean and Clear face wash since I was a teenager, the type changes but it is all still C&C. I already bought a new one, a brightening morning formula this time. done 11/1

2. Fresh Sugar lip treatment SAMPLE - I had to toss this because it got flipped in the move from one apartment to the next, spilling the product all over my sink, and making it unusable. I got 3 uses out of it, so I don't have a real opinion of it. decluttered 11/4 (see below)

3. John Frieda Go Blonder spray - finished off the larger bottle, but I put some in a travel sized bottle that will tide me over until I can repurchase. I have had this bottle for a while, and slacked on using it, but I am back into the pattern of using it so I have repurchased. done 11/14

4. Hanalei powder cleanser SAMPLE - I did not like this. It cleansed well enough, but since it is a powder, it wasn't particularly user friendly. I got ~2 uses per packet. I was happy to try it, but it is definitely not something I would repurchase. done 11/16

5. GlamGlow dream duo SAMPLE - So I saw no benefit to this moisturizer. It wasn't as pasty as the volcasmic moisturizer that I had in my 13 by Halloween. I did like the two step part of it, it was a fun addition to my nightly routine. (My makeup/face routine is my self care, it's therapeutic to me) I don't plan to repurchase though, GlamGlow is expensive. done 11/18

8. 18 Nabi liquid lipsticks (don't like the formula, they were cheap off amazon)

24. L'Oreal eyeshadow stick - black (really old) 11/6
25. CoverGirl eyeshadow stick (old) 11/6
26. L'Oreal cream eyeliner - black (dried out) 11/12
27. L'Oreal eyeliner - ebony (turns out it isn't a retractable eyeliner, in attempt to get it ready for a project pan, I scrolled it all the way up, it wouldn't go back down, and it broke. Not making that mistake with my second one. Update: turns out I did make that mistake with the second one.) 11/13, 11/26
28. Elizabeth Arden eyeshadow pallet - It's old and I was never going to use it. 11/26

12 Pans of Christmas

1. GlamGlow Dream Duo (actually 2 samples, but they are meant to be used together) - cut open to get more product out on 11/15 done 11/18/17 (see above)
2. Neutrogena moisturizer - not a sample size, but I have had it for a while and I need to finish it up. As of this update: I am really close. It even sputtered a little on the night of 11/28. I don't have a replacement yet... I should get on that, I can't go without moisturizer.
3. Tarte Maracujá oil - sample from Ipsy
4. Fresh Sugar lip treatment - sample from Sephora done 11/4/17 (see above)
5. Hanalei powder cleanser - sample packets from Ipsy done 11/16/17 (see above)
6. Origin face mask - sample from Sephora I don't think I am going to be able to finish this one before my finale... I am going to bring it on my conference with me. An empty hotel room is the perfect opportunity to do some face masking.
7. [from my 13 by Halloween] Make Up For Ever lipstick - Natural
8. [from my 13 by Halloween] Nars lipstick pencil - cruella
9. [from my 13 by Halloween] Stila liquid eyeliner Still working on this one. It's impossible to tell progress though.
10. Make Up For Ever eyeliner sample - slow progress because all I use it for is on my waterline.
11. Bath & Body Works lotion - sea island cotton
12. Bath & Body Works spray - sea island cotton Unlike the lotion, I haven't been using this much, and therefore have very little progress (especially in comparison to the lotion).

Note on lip product progress: I have made a realization; I don't reapply my lips during the day. I pride myself on making it all day with my lipstick not coming off. A lot of project panners I watch reapply their lipstick throughout the day, meaning they move through product faster. I am not upset at my progress, but I now know not to compare my progress to others'.
