Have you noticed e.l.f. has been releasing lots of new products lately? One of which caught my attention because I'm always drooling over people with their Maybelline Baby Lips. I wanted something in the cruelty free product world like that! Now, (Thanks to e.l.f.) we have it. In all honesty I really don't know how these stack up to the Maybelline Baby Lips since I won't buy anything from Maybelline but I think these are very similar, if not a little better.

Curious about Project Pan and the Finish 4 by 4th of July Challenge? Find out everything about it   HERE .  Check out my  original intro post   for more info on each product. -  Freeman Feeling Beautiful Body Salt Scrub  with Guava and Vitamin C: I guess I could cut the tube open and use the microscopic amount left in the tube but do I really want to? No. This is done. I'm over it. Not a terrible product; just not for me. I'm not a fan of the larger salt particles although I can tell you this smells great; like summer in a tube. Weigh ins as follows:  8.6 fl.oz. on 1/6/15 8.2 fl.oz. on 1/20/15 7.1 fl.oz. on 3/7/15 & 3/21/14 2.8 fl.oz. on 6/4/15 (Yayus!) 1.7 fl.oz. on 7/4/15 (Done!) -  Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter : This is going in the trash. I didn't touch it after my last update so it's clearly not something I want or need. I had a love hate relationship with this over the last 6 mo...

It's been awhile since I did an update; I just wasn't feeling it in April/May but I'm back now! Curious about Project Pan and the Finish 4 by 4th of July Challenge? Find out everything about it   HERE . 

It's the end! Yayus! I was getting pretty burnt out on this challenge so I'm glad it's over! See my  intro post here ! Finish 5 by Cinco de Mayo was started by  Megsmakeup8 ! Let's see how I did: -  Wet n Wild Megalast Lipstick  in Purty Persimmon: My least used of the bunch simply because you have to be wearing clothing in colors that will not clash with this bold Red/Orange lip. This is still a favorite of mine and it wears the longest out of the bunch. I used about .15 of an inch. -  Milani Brilliant Shine Lip Gloss  in Mai-Tai 02: I really used this a lot over the last two months and you can finally see a dent in the above photo. The downside of gloss is when you wear your hair down it's constantly dragging through your gloss. Still, this gloss is one of my favorites; I love the color and while it is on the sticky side it also wears pretty good for a gloss. -  Milani Color Statement Lipstick  in Fruit Punch: This is a ...

Check out my  original intro post  for more info on each product. So basically I am ending this challenge on a serious low; our little family has been experiencing so much death its been  ridiculous and then to top it all off I got really sick with Bronchitis. So, this challenge has been the last thing on my mind. Regardless, I did finish a decent amount of my products. The 4 products I didn't finish will roll over to the Finish 4 by 4th of July Challenge (4x4). Find out everything about it HERE .  -  Freeman Feeling Beautiful Body Salt Scrub  with Guava and Vitamin C: No change since the last update. Rolling this over to 4x4. Weigh ins as follows:  8.6 fl.oz. on 1/6/15 8.2 fl.oz. on 1/20/15 7.1 fl.oz. on 3/7/15 & 3/21/14 -  Freeman Bare Foot Lemon + Sage Foot Balm : Completed 3/7/15; see my post HERE .

Only 2 days late... I call that a WIN! Yayus! See my  intro post here ! Finish 5 by Cinco de Mayo was started by  Megsmakeup8 ! -  Wet n Wild Megalast Lipstick  in Purty Persimmon: I'm still chugging along with this one... I can see some use but again I don't use this as much as I would like simply because it can clash with the colors in my outfit. First. World. Problems. -  Milani Brilliant Shine Lip Gloss  in Mai-Tai 02: My favorite lip gloss but still the least used lippie in this challenge. I have to admit I love the golden shimmer in it though. I used it maybe 5 more times since my last update.  -  Milani Color Statement Lipstick  in Fruit Punch: Such a cute pink! I actually used this the most in the last month because it just brightens me up and I'm starting to look fatigued as tax season progresses. Thank God I listened to Vintage or Tacky and got this cause I love it. -  Too Faced...

Check out my  original intro post  for more info on each product. I know I'm super late with this update but my father was in the hospital for 9 days and then passed away so I've just kinda been hanging on to what little sanity I have left. These types of things can wait in the grand scheme of things, you know?!?  On to the update... -  Freeman Feeling Beautiful Body Salt Scrub  with Guava and Vitamin C: I still haven't used this much but I will continue trying to use it. It smells amazing but its not my favorite type of scrub with the salt particles being so large. Weigh ins as follows:  8.6 fl.oz. on 1/6/15 8.2 fl.oz. on 1/20/15 7.1 fl.oz. on 3/7/15 -  Freeman Bare Foot Lemon + Sage Foot Balm : Done! Basically, the packaging is what weighs 1 fluid ounce. I honestly have fallen in love with this product; my feet get really tired and this helps perk them right up. It seems to help with circulation which...

I was inspired to do this look after watching LipglossLeslie's YouTube video . I had to get creative since I don't own the Too Faced Semisweet Chocolate Bar Palette. Here's how I did it and what I used:  Colour Pop Super Shock Eyeshadow in So Quiche all over lid. Coastal Scents Revealed 2 Palette : #6 in crease as transition # 18 & #20 on outter corner V #9 on lid #1 inner corner highlight  Coastal Scents Revealed Palette : #1 on brow bone My Pretty Zombie in Scurvy in crease and blended up towards brow bone. E.l.f. Smudge Pot in Crusin' Chic on inner lower lashline E.l.f. Smudge Pot in Brownie Points on outter lower lashline. It's not exact but I like it! My favorite part is My Pretty Zombie's Scurvy; it's such a unique color, like a bold burnt orange. It also applies beautifully and doesn't fade when blended out. If you haven't already seen Leslie's video, go check it out!...

Sorry I'm behind! Tax Season has kept me busy so this will have to be short and sweet! See my intro post here ! Finish 5 by Cinco de Mayo was started by Megsmakeup8 ! -  Wet n Wild Megalast Lipstick  in Purty Persimmon: This has proven to be a tough color to use because I have to make sure it works with my outfit. It's is a great long lasting lippie though; out of all my other choices this one lasts the best and is maintenance free. I don't even have to worry about this feathering or smearing. -  Milani Brilliant Shine Lip Gloss  in Mai-Tai 02: My least used of the bunch but this is no surprise. I've used this maybe 2 - 4 times. I'm not big on glosses but this one is better than most. Love the color and shimmer. -  Milani Color Statement Lipstick  in Fruit Punch: A super cute pink that I've used quite a lot but not as much as the next one. I like to use this one with a lip liner to help it last longer on my lip...

Check out my original intro post for more info on each product. -  Freeman Feeling Beautiful Body Salt Scrub  with Guava and Vitamin C: I haven't used this as much as I had hoped I would but now that I've come to that realization I can change that. I got my scale on the 6th, weigh ins as follows:  8.6 fl.oz. on 1/6/15,  8.2 fl.oz. on 1/20/15 . Not a lot of progress but at least it's something. -  Freeman Bare Foot Lemon + Sage Foot Balm : I've gotten to the point where I can now appreciate the unique texture and it is definitely keeping the winter dryness away. Weigh ins as follows:  5.6 fl.oz. on 1/6/15,  3.8 fl.oz. on 1/20/15 . Definite progress! In case you are wondering about my scale I chose an inexpensive one from Amazon but I love how sleek and modern it looks and so far it is working out great. -  LUSH Carrot Soap : Done! It only lasted a week and a half. It's definitely a fun product and great for a luxury item; would I purchase LUSH so...
