Project 10 pan: One month update

Hello beauties!!

It's been a busy time for me lately since on top of my usual day to day things I've had family visiting the last 2 weeks and more coming in this weekend. So needless to say I've been quite busy entertaining them doing the tourist thing and what not. It's fun to see everyone but it does make you tired going non stop day after day! I did however make time to squeeze in this post(at 5am on no sleep lol) since today is exactly one month since I started project 10 pan. I will admit it's been very hard to resist buying anything especially since the past couple weeks I've been asked to take a few of my cousins to MAC and Sephora. I will say a few times I almost gave in and bought so many things but I didn't. I was proud of myself!

My original post on project 10 pan is HERE.

 Just to recap my original items I wanted to finish:


These are the items that are currently finished:


-Clean&Clear dual action moisturizer
-Rimmel Fix & Perfect foundation primer
-Original strawberry Chapstick
-Lipsmackers in Watermelon
-Loreal Collagen mascara

Other misc. items I've finished:


-Beyond Belief skin cleansing towelettes
-Nivea a kiss of moisture lip balm
-Herbal Essences long term relationship leave in condtioner

So, I'm about half way done which I think is good after only one month. I do think the rest will take me much longer but that's okay because it feels great to use what I have and not see things just sit there.

I'm hoping more free time comes my way soon because I really miss blogging and all my beauty babes!

Take care!

Swatches: Kat Von D True Romance Palette-Memento Mori

Hey everyone!

I talked about getting this on Twitter and Rai suggested swatches, sorry they took so long!

Back in February, I was browsing the Sephora website and came across this new palette by Kat Von D:

The packaging was the first thing that caught my eye since all her other palette's are black. The eyeshadow shades represent the Day of the Dead skulls. It is limited edition but still available at Sephora or Sephora.com for $34.

Here's a look at the shadows:


The swatches are over a base, MAC paint pot in Layin Low.

L to R:
Cream Shadow in True (the only cream), Solitude, Meditation, Agatha Pink, Sugar Skull, Peggy, Hard Luck and Tijuana.

I really love the colors! Except for the cream shadow and Solitude they all have a tiny bit of shimmer but nothing overpowering. Tijuana has gold shimmers in it that really go well with the darkness of the brown.

If you have any questions or would like to see a look with this palette, let me know!

Have a great weekend!!
