    Updated Finish 6 by Christmas

    Bare Minerals Original Foundation - last pot.  Sifter removed.

    Bare Minerals loose eyeshadow called Heart.  Done.  I loved this though I have other similar colours.

    MAC No Ordinary Lamp (Princess Jasmine palette).  This has been depotted.  I'm hopeful that this will be finished soon too.

    Too Faced Push Up.  Want to work on this once the above eyeshadow is done.

    Bite Dirty Chai lip lacquer.  I can see gaps so let's hope it can go.

    Laura Geller Kiss lipstick.  One of my oldest, if not the oldest, lipstick in my collection.  Will perservere.  Would be nice if it was gone by Christmas.

    Finished MAC No Ordinary Lamp yesterday. Lovely mid toned matte pink eyeshadow. I have Urban Decay Naked 3 and apparently it contains a good dupe for this. Out of the 9 shadows in this pan I have 4 left.

    Think the BM Foundation will be done this week too.

    Intend to start using Push Up this week but probably as a base.

    I pulled out all my bronzer contenders yesterday. I threw away an old Laura Geller blush that I intended to use because a) I couldn’t see it on my face and b) it’s so old that the baked pan looked dry yet the product looked like talc.

    Tried an Urban Decay blush from my Gwen Stefani palette which was not  the right tone for bronzer as I like a reddish brown colour.  Will try the other blush in that palette next.

    I have made the decision to throw away the BM Original Foundation.  I don't know if it had become old but for the past few days I've noticed that I couldn't blend it in as well and it looked like it sat on my cheeks like a dark smudge.  Have opened my new pressed Mineral Veil. 

    I've also decided not to use the UD Gwen Stefani LoFi Blush as bronzer as I can't see it when applied.  Have put this palette away fro a while as I'm trying to pan the Hourglass Edit 4 blushers.

    Another UU and a surpise one.  I have been unofficially panning my Hourglass Edit 4 palette which at first contained two setting powders, a bronzer, a highlighter and two blushers.  I had finished the setting powders and bronzer and had hit pan in the highlighter.  Yesterday, I noticed that the pan was significant enough that I wasn't getting much product on my brush so depotted it.  I did not appreciate how little product was left and have finished it today.  It was nice but I don't have any particular preference in highlighter so probably would not repurchase.  I have a few in my stash to work through anyway.
