Products I Want To Use Up In 2016 Update Four

I decided to get rid of the body butter and lip gloss categories entirely for the year because I haven't used products in those categories at all and I know I won't be using anything up in those categories. I have been sick this month as well as very bust so I haven't made very good progress, but I think I'll do better in May.

Lipstick

I've barely used my MAC lipstick in Brave at all this month, but I think I'll get good use out of it next month. I think that using it up this year is still very doable.

Foundation

I'll admit that I've barely touched this foundation in April. I discovered the Revlon Colorstay and I love that so much that I didn't want to use anything else, but I'll make an effort to use this more in May.

Powder

I finished a powder! My goal is two powders this year and this one is my first, so I'm halfway there. I even took out the sifter so that I could use every single bit of product because I really liked this powder.

Eyeliner

I've decided to focus on a mini eyeliner so that I actually have a chance to use it up. I got this mini Marc Jacobs liner as part of my Sephora birthday gift this year and I have so many black eyeliners that I don't need another mini one cluttering my collection.

Nail Polish

The nail polish is nearly gone! I think that one or two more uses and it'll be done.

Lip Butter

I totally finished my Nivea lip butter! Since I had reached my lip balm goal, I used this instead of lip balm, so it went pretty fast. I still have another one in a different scent, but I won't be rushing to use it.

Lip Scrub

I'm nearly done with the lip scrub! I already have backups because I've grown to really enjoy this product and it's only  a dollar on ShopMissA. I predict that this will be done within the next month.

Eyeshadow

Because I hit pan on both of the shadows that I set goals on last month, I'm going to take a break from panning shadows this month and just use whatever I want. I have some new palettes and I want to play around with those before I commit to using anything up.

Products I Want to Use Up

Products I Want To Use Up In 2016

Since my project pans are failing miserably, I decided that I want to do something similar, but a bit easier and less rigid. So when I found this project on YouTube, it seemed perfect. Instead of choosing specific products, I'm choosing a category and the amount of products I want to use up in that category. I plan to update you on my progress at the end of every month.

Five Lip Balms

I want to totally use up five lip balms this year. I have way too many and they're pretty easy to use up, so this shouldn't be difficult at all.

One Full Size Lipstick

This will probably be the most challenging goal. I like to use lots of different lipsticks, so using one up almost never happens. I want to start with just one, but I will probably try to use up more.

Two Foundations

Although I'll probably use up more, I don't want to overestimate what I can use up. This can include foundations that are halfway full or more.

One Bodyspray

This isn't very ambitious, but I need to get in the habit of wearing bodyspray every day if I want to do this. I don't wear it very often, but I want to use it much more.

Two Powders

I use up powders pretty quickly, so this shouldn't be hard. I want to find the perfect powder, but I want to use them up at the same rate I buy them if at all possible.

Six Eyeliners

For this one, I can use any form of eyeliner, and I can include liners that I've already used almost all the way because liners seem to take me forever. I also can use them as eyeshadow bases if I want.

Three Body Butters

I have too many body butters and lotions, so I want to use a few up. I do have an order of more coming in soon, but after that I'll try to avoid buying them if I can remember not to. I like to feel moisturized, and I like to smell good, so this shouldn't be difficult at all.

One Nail Polish

I don't really use nail polish all that often, but when I do, I'm going to try and always use the same one so I can start to slim down my collection. I have way too much nail polish for somebody who rarely paints their nails, or really for anybody.

Two Shower Gels

I have way too many bath and shower gels for anybody to have at once, so I want to use up at least two. This includes body washes as well. This is going to be really simple, but I find it best to start small and then do better than I expected to do so I don't get overwhelmed.

One Lip Butter

I actually have a specific product in mind for this one - my Nivea lip butter in caramel cream kiss. I use it every night before bed but there's still quite a bit left so it might take a bit.

One Lip Scrub

I have some homemade lip scrubs as well as a store bought one, and I think I'll focus in the one I bought first. It's super great for exfoliating your lips and leaving them super smooth and ready for lipstick.

Ten Eyeshadows

I want to at least hit pan on ten eyeshadows, but if I can use them up then that will be even better. My goal is just to hit pan, though. I'll probably focus on more neutral, everyday colors so that this goes faster.

Two Lip Glosses

Lip glosses go faster than lipsticks for me, so I don't think two is a bad goal. I'll probably choose two that both go with whatever lipstick I choose to use up.
