Project Pan: Finish 6 by Spring

As of today (January 26th), there are 53 days until the first day of Spring (March 20). I'm gonna do something crazy and try to use up 6 products in just over 50 days. I was inspired to do this by my friend Heather who does one of these every freaking season, however I got on the train a bit late so instead of doing a YouTube based project 7 pan I'm just going to blog about it and try to tackle 6.

To make things easy on myself, I decided to stick with a few products that were either on their last legs, or that are easy to incorporate into daily routines. I'm also doing this because I've found myself in a bit of a slump lately, both with makeup and mentally, and I'm hoping that this will get me to use makeup a whole lot more than my current rate.

Physicians Formula Nude Wear Glowing Nude Blush in Natural Review + Swatch

Physicians Formula recently launched a new line of products called "Nude Wear" where the whole idea behind the line is that everything is well... wearing as if you were nude, a.k.a the ultimate no-makeup makeup products. Physicians Formula claims that this new "sheer innovation" line contains "100% Nude Glow pigments that let your skin breathe for a beautiful bare skin effect". Now, I've purchased and fallen in love with the only concealer from the Nude Wear line (and yes, a review will be in the works),  so I decided to pick up one of the two blushes because the packaging is so stinkin' cute! I mean, pebbled, baby pink "leather and rose gold accents with BOWS!? Sign me up!

Beauty Purchases of January 2013

I purchased a landmark number of products last month. Anyone want to guess a number? $20 it's significantly lower than what you're imagining.

Here is a hint: It's more than 2, but less than 4. I'm even a bit baffled by my lack of usual product splurging! I can't really remember a time that I've bought so few items, but hey... if I really want to keep my makeup "collection" as condensed as possible after a loooooong journey of de-stashing (which you can follow here), sacrifices MUST be made, i.e. no more willy nilly product snatching.

Since this month has a very manageable number of purchases, why not do a little bulk review? Sounds fun, right?

Revlon ColorStay Longwear Nail Enamel in Bare Bones, Physicians Formula Conceal RX in Natural Light, and Rimmel Match Perfection 2-in-1 Concealer & Highlighter in Light

I'll admit, this is a pretty pedestrian "haul", but hey... at least I'm happy with 2/3rds of the purchases.
