Had better progress this last month. Finished two things and decluttered the white cream eyeshadow. I have been using the Watt's Up, and I am not sure I like cream highlighter, but once I am done with it, I am going to keep using the other cream highlighters I have. I will be making no progress on the bullet lipsticks in the month of February, because I am working on my #28shades challenge, which is made up of all liquid lipsticks.

Post #35: January Empties - Makeup Rehab no. 1

So, as can be seen in my Project Pan updates, I have started to be more conscience of how much I am spending on my makeup hobby. I don't need to buy more than I use. My hope for 2018 is to use more than I spend. Each month I will post a blog with makeup purchases versus makeup empties.

01/22/18: Hit pan on Snow Day in Too Faced Boss Lady Beauty Agenda palette.
01/24/18, 4 hours after buying the Urban Decay Heavy Metals palette, I am going on a 'No Buy' until further notice. I will not buy any more eyeshadow.
01/29/18: My resolve has been challenged. There is an indie brand selling Tim Burton inspired eyeshadows. I love me some Tim Burton, but at $8 a pop, I have talked myself out of the impulse buy.
