    My 12 pans of Christmas Challenge update


    Shower gel - still untouched (STILL) Must make an effort to wash my brushes and sponges today to finish the baby shampoo and get this Started.

    Corresponding body cream - I’m getting rid. Who am I kidding that I’ll put it on my feet? The problem is that the only time I would apply this is bedtime and then my feet get too hot at night with socks on.

    Eye cream - getting There.

    [STRIKE]Tweak’d hair mask - FINISHED[/STRIKE]

    Essie cuticle scrub - will need to cut this open this week.

    [STRIKE] Primark Pomegranate and Black Tea fragrance - FINISHED[/STRIKE]

    Smashbox Full Exposure palette. Shimmery shadow FINISHED
    Dip in matte shade. Dip no bigger.

    Rich Girl from Too Faced Chocolate Gold. Pan is increasing,

    Colourpop Supershock shadow Birthday Cake - used a few times. Pan does not appear to be expanding!

    [STRIKE]MAC On The Line lipgloss - FINISHED.[/STRIKE] MAC Dare You lipstick in constant use.

    NARS Gilda and Outlaw blushers. Still ongoing (as ever). Can see dips though.

    Bobbi Brown Shimmerbrick - as per last post, this has now been depotted. I am really hopeful that this will be done this week.

    The Bobbi Brown Shimmerbrick is done. I crushed up the last of the flaky bits earlier this week and applied the last of it to my eyes using Mac Fix Plus today. This is my accomplishment for the year. Wish I could post a photo x

    Corresponding body cream - TA

    Eye cream - Finished today though I did also apply it to my face to get rid.

    [STRIKE]Tweak’d hair mask - FINISHED[/STRIKE]

    Essie cuticle scrub - also gone. I think Santa is buying me one.

    I think the reality is that I may finish Rich Girl by Christmas and that’s all though all the makeup products are in full use.
