At the beginning of June I began my 3rd quarter stash shop and secret project pan. This is the mid-quarter update. And, I have no weight changes on anything at all, but also I finished a bunch of stuff so the progress feels pretty darn good.

And now;

Lets first talk about all that I fully finished-both sunscreens are gone, the little setting spray is gone, and the foundation is gone.

I didn’t take a photo of the Nars bronzer or the Charlotte Tilbury blush because I used them once and they didn’t work with the foundation at all. I concentrated on using the foundation.

As for the rest, no changes in weights at all which may be disappointing but also I’ve used them consistently so I know progress is being made.

-Too Faced Natural Face palette, I’ve been using the matte bronzer, the lighter highlighter, and the more neutral blush the most. I have also used the brighter blush from time to time. The matte bronzer and the lighter highlighter do seem to have a dip in them now.
-The concealer is being used regularly and I may experiment now with it as a foundation. But if that doesn’t work, I’ll just keep using it regularly. It probably will not be finished after this quarter but it’s good to have gotten use out of it.
-I have sharpened the eyeliner at least twice now and I try to use it every time I am creating a more warm toned makeup look.
-I do believe that you can actually see good progress on the rimmel stay matte powder. I do want to finish this up this year, so if I don’t finish it over the next month and a half it’ll go into my last quarter stash shop too.
-The Becca primer had light use as it didn’t pair the best with the foundation. Now that the foundation is gone I’ll get more use out of this.
-I’ve been making consistent use out of the eyebrow pencil which I like so much that it’ll be a forever pencil after I run through everything else in my stash. Same with the mascara and the nyx shadow stick.

I don’t believe I’ll actually get to finish anything else in the remainder of the quarter unless the powder is gone. Other than that it’s just an attempt to get good use out of everything.

The biggest win of this year so far I think is that I began the year with 12 foundations (or 11 and a light mixer) and now I have 9 (Or 8 with a light mixer). None of the rest are particularly close to being finished up but I am just so delighted to have made so much progress, fully finishing up a foundation every quarter so far. I don’t think I could manage to do that again in the final quarter but if I started now, maybe? Might be worth a try.
