Making My Own Make Up Board...

- This is the original picture I bought from Goodwill. It was amusing on it's own, since it's so true. I got it for 1.60.
It was a huge ordeal getting the metal sheet for the magnets to stick to. Anyone planning to do this go to Ace NOT Menards, Menards was awful.
I am planning to spray paint the frame and probably do different paper or fabric on the sheet of metal, I'm just trying to save funds so I stuck with paper I had and figured I could always spray paint later.
I left a space blank I'm waiting til I find an awesome picture to put there.
I have had a few things fall out, but that's because of the glue I used (it was cheap) and not because of the metal sheet or magnets. At least I know that much, at some point I need to get better glue.
- Sorry this shot is sideways. Thanks Blogger.
I'm trying to put just some of my everyday stuff on here. I don't really have a lot of everyday stuff honestly so I've added some shadows I figured could be go to stuff. Mascara, primer, remover, etc.
- Inside the little basket thing. I got it at the dollar store. I just kind of put brushes and other primers in here atm, I need to clean those brushes too, so sorry if they look a bit less than stellar.
- And a cute little piggy magnet I have, he guards the makeups.
My mom also made me a magnet I haven't put up yet.
Have you ever made a make up board? I wanted to because I thought it'd be fun and because I know the apartment I'll be moving into is going to have like no bathroom space at all pretty much and I thought this would help.

Project Day 10.
- Today I wore Madd Style Cosmetics in Cocoa Puffs and Poison Berry I believe it was (Thank you Joe for my presents.) with the white from the palette.
This didn't photograph very well.
And I forgot to put on mascara before taking pictures, but I did afterwards.
- I kind of changed my hair around a bit right now too.
I was testing the "ultra violet" out to see what it'd do over the green, I'm having some love/hate going on atm, idk what I want to do with it right now.
- You can kind of see a new necklace I bought off ebay, I got the pendant for less than 2 dollars, with free shipping (from the states so it got here super fast), I love it.
- Here were my nails today too.
The majority of my nails are Spoiled "I Don't Drink Cheap Wine" and the ring finger is by Spoiled as well but it's "Bite Me".
In another note about my Project Pan, I haven't worn make up for nearly a week so I feel I'm not doing very well towards hitting pan since I've been so sick. But I did finish off my shampoo now as well, so it joined the conditioner. The next thing I'll probably finish is the lotion. I'm pretty far down on the make up remover as well.

Project Day 5.
- Just a full face. Blah. I'm not feeling good today.
- This was a really odd angle for my eye, and it's my left eye with my psychotic eyebrow, instead of my right eye that I normally take pics of.
- This is the normal Elf primer, Loreal mascara, and the the lighter blue and white from the palette but I mixed in another shadow, Jordana in Alter Ego. It was the second Jordana shadow I've tried. I tried Ms. Brown yesterday (with the palette) but I didn't get pictures yesterday or the day before (when I did the bronzey/browns from the palette). I really liked both Jordana shades I tried. And I know Kmart is clearancing some, so you might want to check that out if you want to try them too or just want some new ones.
Update On The Project:
I did end up finishing off my conditioner yesterday, and tomorrow I'll probably finish the shampoo. So yay for finishing something.

Day 2.
- This one was taken inside, in my normal lighting I use.
I used my palette again and just the palette (for shadows), then I used the Elf primer of course and the Loreal mascara.
I also used my EOS multiple times today, and the lotion. Plus I just took a shower, so I used the shampoo/conditioner and body wash. I have to work eyeliner in tomorrow.
- This one was taken outside on my way out to do a few things.
I used green, two shades of blue and white for the eye look.

First Day Of The Project...
- So I used that eyeshadow palette on my products list (as well as the Elf primer and Loreal mascara). The colors look better in person, as they always do, but I was happy with the colors I used, with the payoff they gave.
- I used pink, purple, sparkly black, and white.

Project Pan/Shop Your Stash/Try Not To Buy Anything.
Okay so me and my friend Alexandra are going to do a type of Project Pan.
We're going to start on Friday I think.
We're going to start on Friday I think.
Here is a list of the items I have picked:
- Absolute! Eyeshadow Palette - 12 Colors
- Sally Hansen Hard As Nails (Using As A Nail Polish Base Coat)
- Vaseline Lotion
- Wet N Wild Coloricon Pencil Eyeliner In Black Black
- John Frieda Full Repair Shampoo
- John Frieda Full Repair Conditioner
- EOS Lip Balm In Sweet Mint
- Philosophy Body Wash in Happy Birthday!
- Elf Eyeshadow Primer
- Loreal Voluminous False Lashes Mascara
- Clean And Clear Eye Makeup Remover
I ended up with 11 items instead of say 10.
Here's kind of what I'm thinking we'll do this for a month and then regroup and see where we want to go from there and see how our progress is.
I expect to for sure use at least half of these items, if not more. I also have an idea for what to do when I've used some of them up, like say the shampoo/conditioner I have a bunch of mini bottles I've gotten as freebie/samples and I think I'll work my way through using them after these to try and get rid of some of them since I don't travel much and don't need a bunch of them taking up space other things could be in. I also have other body washes and lotions I can work on making my way through next. Same with base coats and eye primers, and EOS.
And okay, other rules I'm thinking of.
- I can buy limited edition things, and depending on the item maybe I won't use it and save it as a reward.
- And while I am using an eye palette as one of my items, I am not required to use just that, I can use other eyeshadows with my look as long as I use something from this palette.
- Also I've never really used this palette it's brand new. I'm going to add a loophole in, if it's the worst piece of crap ever that won't work for anything I can swap it out for a different palette. But I will do my best with this one.
- And whatever shopping I do for my swaps I'm already in will not count against me and whatever I get for my swap won't count against me either.
This is my first Project Pan of any kind. I have tried a no buy before which didn't work very well. I know I probably won't do perfectly on this (is it wrong I'm already thinking that? I think I'm being more of a realist than anything I know me.) but I will try. And I don't expect to use every item entirely in a month, but I'd like to make a good dent in what I don't finish.
And here's a photo of my products:

Haulage 2.
- Trying to finish getting caught up on my haul posts, I'm sorry I've been so behind with my blog. Life hasn't been a bowl of cherries (or cherry colored nail polish for that matter) and it's bleeding into all aspects of my life. I actually do have a lot of swatch pictures that need to be watermarked and uploaded soon too.
