I can’t believe we’re already at the end of the month! The past few weeks really have flown by. Today, I’ll be sharing my most-used makeup for the month of March. As I mentioned in my last month’s Most-Used Makeup post, these products aren’t necessarily my most favorite products, but the ones I’ve used most often – whether that’s because it’s one of my Project Pan items or just something that I couldn’t stop reaching for.

This month I made a point to remind myself to do a look with all of my most-used products of the month so I could share it with you here!

LORAC PRO 2 – One Week, One Palette #3

March 28, 2018April 6, 2018 NatalieLeave a comment

I was craving more of the LORAC shadows, so I grabbed my LORAC PRO 2 palette for the third week of my One Week, One Palette project.

LORAC PRO Matte – One Week, One Palette #2

March 27, 2018April 6, 2018 NatalieLeave a comment

From January 12th through 19th I used the LORAC PRO Matte palette and the Milani Everyday Eyes palette in Must Have Metallics (08). I’m considering the LORAC palette the primary one this week since I can see myself pulling out the Milani palette again later on to supplement other palettes that are more matte-heavy.

Empties – March 2018

March 26, 2018May 1, 2018 NatalieLeave a comment

Today I’ll be sharing my March 2018 empties! I am happy to have used up 8 items this month, even if most of them were sample sized products. The reason I love reading and watching others’ empties posts/videos is because I love to hear about their experience using the entire product – how their opinion changed over time and if they’d repurchase it again in the future.

Makeup Revolution Reloaded Division – One Week, One Palette #11

March 23, 2018April 6, 2018 NatalieLeave a comment

This week (March 17-23) I used the Makeup Revolution Reloaded Division Palette. It’s pretty clear that this palette is *ahem* inspired by the ABH Subculture palette, but I’m not mad about that. Personally, I don’t think I would mind the soft formula that the Subculture palette has (LORAC shadows are my favorite, so this isn’t surprising), but I wanted to try these bolder shades out in a “lower stakes” way than splurging on a high-end palette.

Bullet Journal Set-Up – April 2018

March 22, 2018March 23, 2018 Natalie2 Comments

Hello! This month, I’ve switched away from pinks and am using a beautiful blue floral washi tape, accented with the light blue Mildliner from the pastel (pink) set. Not much has changed as far as the layout goes from last month, but it shows me that changing up the washi and color accents really refreshes my excitement for using my journal for another month.

I am so excited to share today’s post, as it’s the first in my new series of eyeshadow palette reviews! From the second week of this year, I have been using one palette each week in an attempt to intentionally use all of the palettes in my collection. The first palette I used this year was the Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar palette from January 5-11, so today I’ll share my thoughts on this palette and go over what this series is all about.

Project Pan 2018 – Project Re-Vamp

March 15, 2018March 21, 2018 Natalie3 Comments

Today, I’m putting off my third update to my 2018 Project Pan, and instead sharing how I’ve decided to revamp my project based on what I’ve learned in the past 2.5 months about what will work better for me.

Every person who does project pans will have different views on how they should work, what their reasons are for panning, and what a successful project looks like. I’m very new to the panning community, so my opinions are still forming, but below I’m sharing what I’ve come up with so far.Read More »

My Wedding Makeup Look

March 12, 2018March 21, 2018 NatalieLeave a comment

Today I want to share my wedding makeup look in honor of my first wedding anniversary. My husband and I got married last year on March 5 in Texas. With a Texas wedding in March, you have to plan for all kinds of weather and temperatures, so I practiced my wedding look a few times to be sure I was choosing products that would really stay put through anything.
