This is the official date that I am supposed to post this update, so I’ve managed to get this one post up in time even though I’ve been a little lax about posting lately.

Just a recap, Partners in Cream project pan attempts to use up cream products in our collections since they go off faster than power products. Truthfully, I think this would be best suited for cream makeup products, but that’s not really going to work for my climate and skin during the summer. I’ll ease back into panning cream makeup products when the weather cools.

Here’s where I was last month:

I’d finished the two little perfume samples and the Becca primer. I’d added in the born this way foundation on the right hand side.

Here’s this month’s update:

With my It cosmetics cc cream (the matte version) you can see that I have worked through everything I can that will come out of the pump. This morning I cut this open and I am sure I’ll be done by the end of the week, so I am adding another item.

More progress on my facial spray. It’s very consistent use right now, I seem to use up about the same every time.

I have made no progress on the Born This Way foundation, I used it once or twice last month. I will concentrate on this with the cc cream being done.

No Poreblem primer, I’ve had another month of consistent use on it as well. I have been concentrating on this solely now that the Becca one is gone. At the beginning of this process I would not have said that I particularly like this primer but honestly it’s really grown on me. It’s good, I am enjoying using it.

My Clarins sunscreen has seen a bit of use but not a ton. I think I can do better this month! So that’s my goal. Increase the use on this product.

And, I’ve added a small rollerball perfume sample, it’s Tocca Maya. I like this one a lot and it is a reasonably summery fragrance. I’d like to finish this up! It’s completely full currently.

It’s always lovely to finish a product (even though I am not technically finished, close enough to call it done) when working through a number of longer term products. I maintain that the matte cc cream has served me very well this year, stuck nicely to my nose for the majority of the day with minimal touching up despite heavy mask use. I hope that there’s a time where mask use won’t factor into my makeup decisions anymore, but now is not that time!
