January/Febraury/March Empties

With the end of March just days away, I thought I would update you guys on the products I have used up. I also wanted to get rid of all the empties since I am cleaning my room ;P I think I will be doing one of these at the end of every month  so you guys can see what I have used up and I will have mini reviews for those products. Usually, the best impression of a product is when you have already used it all up.

1. Organix Macadamia Oil Intense Moisture Mask 
I used this hair mask in place of my usual Aussie one, but I like this one much better. This was about $4-5 so it is affordable like the Aussie one, but it left my hair feeling more hydrated and soft. I overall liked this, and I would repurchase it. I didn't like that it comes in a tub though; water can get inside of the container. I also finished it really fast, and I would hate having to repurchase it over and over because I use it up too quickly.

2. Secret gel deodorant
Honestly the only reason I buy this is because it smells really good. But it is not a long lasting deodorant, and I have been trying to look for a better, all-natural deodorant. Any recommendations?

Makeup Ban + Project 20 Pan + Mini Reviews

Hello lovelies~
I hope you guys are doing great! I finally settled in today, and I actually have time to do a few things I have been meaning to do for a while. One of those things is to update you all on my makeup ban and my P20P.

Makeup Ban
It has been about a month since I started my ban, and it has been going very well. If I said I had not purchased anything, I would be lying. I mentioned before that I bought two Revlon lipglosses, but I purchased them with a gift card so I didn't count them. Other than that, I haven't purchased anything makeup up related! I am so proud of myself, honestly. I will be continuing this makeup ban. But I think I will give myself a little break and purchase one thing for myself for Christmas.
I also mentioned that I might set up a goal for myself every week, and if I complete it, I would put $5 in a "makeup-buying fund." I did that, but I haven't been doing super good. I managed to complete two of my goals, which were to drink more water and to not get on elevators. So far I have $10 in my makeup fund. Very sad. I am thinking that I will update my makeup ban every month. I am very motivated to keep this going. I feel very good about actually using my makeup, and I hope this will motivate some of you to do the same~


Project 20 Pan - Completed!
Yes, I have completed my P20P! I am very happy~ Here is what I finished up and also a mini review on each product.

Project 10 Pan #1 Update

Hello Dolls~

I have officially finished my first ever Project 10 Pan! I am so happy that I was able to finish it rather quickly and without any slip ups. I will show you the products that I used up and I will have a little update for you.

1. Aussie Hair Insurance Leave-In Conditioner ($2-4)
-I liked this a lot because of how good it made my hair smell and feel. I used it right after washing my hair and before brushing it. This helped to detangle my hair and smooth it out. It is very affordable so I am considering repurchasing it.

2. Ojon Restorative Shampoo
-I got this for free from as a VIP gift with purchase from Sephora. Although I liked it, I am not totally in love with it and I will not repurchase it.

3.Ojon Restorative Conditioner
-Like the shampoo, it was GWP from Sephora. I did like it, but again, I will not purchase it with my own money. It smelled...spicy. But it did leave my hair super smooth.

4. Neutrogena Power Clear Scrub ($7-$9)
-I really enjoyed this scrub and I have actually already repurchased it. It is readily available, it is such a gentle exfoliator, and it helped to unclog my pores.

5.LUSH Tea Tree Water ($8.95)
-I have also repurchased this toner because I have really enjoyed it. It is refreshing and it is a great toner to use after cleansing. The Tea Tree water in this helps my acne-prone skin. This is also super gentle and has no alcohol in it.

6.Artistry Renewing Peel
-This was given to me by my mom as a gift. She loves Artistry skin care I have have had good experiences with this skin care brand. Although, in my own opinion, Artistry skin care seems to be a lot better for anti-aging and wrinkle care. I absolute loved this because it was super gentle! I used this twice a week and it really does not feel like a peel at all. It leaves you skin soft and radiant. If I use this more often, it seems to help with acne scarring. But it is really expensive. My mom actually gave me a second bottle of this, and I am really grateful because I would not be able to afford it myself. I am not exactly sure how much it is, but it ranges from $80-$100.

7.Artistry Time Defiance Day Protect Lotion SPF 15
This was also given to me by my mom and I was using this as my day time cream. I like this because it is moisturizing yet not oily, and it has SPF. It is also intended for anti-aging. Although I liked this, I am currently using the Reviva Labs Glycolic Acid daytime cream.

8. Zoya Remove + ($10)
This is by far my favorite nail polish remover. Ever. The only downside is the price and the fact that I finished this so quickly. I will repurchase this when I feel I can afford it! I highly recommend it, specially if you don't take off your nail polish often (it will last longer that way. I take off my nail polish every day or every other day).

9. MAC 'Fashion Mews' Lipstick
-This was one of my first MAC lipsticks, and I highly treasured it. But I really needed to use it up because it was getting old. I am glad I used it up, but sad because I loved the color. Oh well.

10. MAC 'Angel' Lipstick 
-This is my second 'Angel' lipstick that I have used up. It is easily my favorite MAC lipstick because it is the perfect everyday color for me. I need to get a new one; I will probably B2M for one.


So P10P #1 is over~ Right after I was done, I needed to buy something I was dying to get! I purchased the Urban Decay 15th Anniversary palette! I said I wasn't going to get it, but I was tempted after seeing it everywhere on the internet. It did seem like a palette I would love. Since I purchased that, I decided I would not purchase anything else and start a second Project 10 Pan. So P10P #2 is underway ^_~ Wish me luck!
