Project 10 Pan #2 (Day #8)

 It was much easier to not buy makeup while I was in Maui.  Now that I'm back home, I am constantly tempted by holiday sales & collections!

I was looking at my list to try to estimate how long it will take me to finish.  I think the hardest item to finish will be the Urban Decay Naked 2 Eyeshadow (Verve).  I figure it will probably take me about 4 months to completely finish it.

I purchased this palette from Sephora for about $50 in February and I'm still so in love with it!  Amazing pigmentation and it lasts FOREVER!  

What's your favorite palette?

Project 10 Pan #2 (Day #6)

Hawaii was absolutely amazing and I can't wait to go back!  I'll post some pictures of my trip soon!!  Ryan and I were there to scout out venues for our wedding (next year).  We still haven't settled on where we're going to have the ceremony, but we were able to narrow down our options.

I did finish one of the items on my Project 10 Pan #2 List while I was there!  I used one of the concealers in my 15 Professional Camouflage Concealer Palette.  This palette cost me only $4.56 from Amazon.  Amazing deal!

I actually enjoy these for the price because it does provide full coverage.  Whenever I travel, my face freaks out a bit so I definitely need something that will hide my blemishes!  It does feel a little heavy and makes it hard for my skin to breathe so I don't typically wear these concealers on a daily basis.  They are great for covering up imperfections for a date night or if I know I'll be taking a lot of photos.  Then, as soon as I get home, I like to take it off so my face can get some air!

Project 10 Pan (Day #14)

I've made it two weeks on Project 10 Pan!!

I almost want to reward myself with a new blush, but I suppose that would defeat the purpose.  :)  Instead, I'll probably relax by the hotel pool and reward myself with a tropical drink!  

Then off for some brunch and some shopping!!

What do you do to relax and reward yourself?

What's In My Bag? (Sonoma, CA: Relay For Life)

Ryan and I are about to leave for Sonoma, CA (about an hour away) to join my best friend in the Relay for Life!  The American Cancer Society organizes these events to help raise money for cancer research.  During the event, participants walk as much as possible during a 24 hr period.  Two years ago, my best friend Jessica and I walked 30 miles!  This year, we're hoping to do 35!  Jessica has been one of my closest friends since we were 2 years old!  I adore this girl <3 

Here I am with Jessica hiking in Yosemite!

Since we're going to be there overnight, I decided to pack a few items in my bag that will help keep us looking fresh!  Some of these items may look familiar!
