Empties And A Update...

- I had more than this, if you cut what you see here in half, and then add that to this you'd probably have close to what I'd had before.  I'd taken a picture of what else I had but I lost the photo and had thrown the empties out after I took the shot.  Kind of upsets me but oh well.  You get the idea, I had a lot.   And I might have even missed a few empties in the bathroom since I have an odd number of bottles without their matches.   I have some more that will probably be empty soon too.   I wanted to get this picture taken so I can throw these out now.  And I've been meaning to post more.  It's been a seriously hectic few months, my mom had surgery, was in the hospital, clearing out a 20x30 foot storage unit, fighting to move, a lot of paperwork, and issues with a awful lying landlord, etc.  But that will soon be behind me, I am approved to move and should be moving the 1st of December.  I'm probably still going to be scarce this next month with downsizing, throwing stuff out, packing stuff up, but once I'm moved and settled, I hope to get back on track with my blogging, because it is important to me.

In a side note, since I did Project Pan, I have not bought any shampoo or conditioner.  I've been using packets I've gotten, samples, travel bottles etc (that I either got as samples or friends gave me theirs randomly).   Which means this next month will be one year since I actually bought any.  And I was trying to do the math to see how much money I've saved, the shampoo and conditioner I was using equaled out to about 13 dollars every time I bought it, I'm not sure how fast I went thru it but they weren't the biggest bottles so let's say every 2 months, that equals out to almost 80 dollars in this last year.   That's kind of amazing in a way.  Yay.

MOAR Empties!

- More recent empties for the trash.  Working my way through more shampoo/conditioner samples.  My friend Aaron and his mom gave me a bunch more in my birthday package and some of these came from there (Thank you Aaron and Debbie), I probably have enough now that I don't have to buy shampoo or conditioner all summer which is pretty awesome!

Then I also finally finished the Clean % Clear from my Project Pan, I miss it dearly though, I'm not 100% that they still make it, but if they do I'm going to need to get some sometime in the future.  I'm using the Wet N Wild make up remover and I do not like it.  Also the body wash by Clean & Clear was awesome I wouldn't mind a full size of that one.  <3

Empties For The Trash...

- Some more empties for the trash.

Mainly all hair stuff with the exception of the one Ahava lotion, which was amazing, and I totally want a full size, I loved the smell soooo much.   But it's a little more than I normally would spend on lotion, so I haven't gotten any, and I'm sure I have plenty of lotion I should use up first (although my birthday is in 2 weeks pretty much so anyone thinking of a present for me haha)

I did not like the smell of the Fructis.   The Nexxus was nice, but I feel I should have skipped the leave in because it just made my hair feel eh.  I really didn't like the TRESemme either, it also didn't make my hair feel good - I still have one use left in the shampoo bottle, so expect to see it in the next empties post.   And the Fekkai's were nice too.

Empties, Future Posts, Box Supscriptions...

- Some more empties.

I had some full size shampoo/conditioners laying around with only a little bit left in them because I'd get a new one and just quit the old one because I'd be excited for the new one.  So I used up one of the pairs I had laying around.

Then I also used up a travel size shampoo.

A travel size baby lotion.

And a pack of cotton rounds.

I'm soooooo close to finishing off that darn make up remover, but I just haven't been wearing make up much lately, fail I know.  But I've been so busy downsizing, cleaning, and trying to slowly get ready to move.   I still don't know exactly when I'm moving but I know I still have a long road ahead of me just with all the cleaning and downsizing.

I have a bunch of posts I want to do.  I got some stuff via credits on sites, that I want to share.

I have my Glossybox I haven't gotten to post.   My spring Influenster box.  I also got Birchbox but I didn't take a pic of it either, but I was really saddened by it and canceled (again).   I also never took pictures of my last MyGlam, which was also lackluster and I canceled.   However I am expecting a MyGlam package atm because I won one of their contests and am getting May's bag for free, I'm excited for the lipstick that will be in it because I've been on such a lipstick kick lately.  But I'm worried it's going to be a not so flattering color, based on what I've seen other girls getting.  I'm glad I won this one, I  wasn't sure how it sits with me that most of the lipstick colors are discontinued and I was told that the Urban Decay eyeliners (which don't get me wrong I was thrilled to get mine) were just broken up from their clearance sets, it just don't bode well with me.

Even More Empties...

- I have even more empties to share today.

Two of these (or three? I can't remember if the nail polish remover was on there too.) were from my Project Pan.   The body wash and the EOS were.

I loved that body wash sample from Ahava, I just got it the other day, it was lovely.   The shampoo/conditioner smell reminded me of a Fuzzy Navel for some reason.

Then the laundry drops I got from Birchbox.

And nail polish remover.  I need to go buy more on the double.

More Empties...

- Mostly just more little sample packets but I wanted to toss them out so I'm taking a picture to post.

Three different sets of shampoo/conditioner and two of the three each came with a extra hair product thing to try.  And then the one cardboard sample is a laundry detergent.  I'm doing laundry right now lol

The laundry detergent and the top sample of trios I got at Target when they were randomly handing out samples, love that.

Recent Empties...

- Here are some recent empties.

I loved the Beyond The Zone Last Call hair mask, that was pretty amazing, and it smelled good, I loved it.  Plus it's like 99 cents at Sally's.

The ECOS I got as a free sample when I ordered from Vitacost, it was pretty nice too.

The EOS hand lotion is probably my favorite hand lotion, I wish it was a bit cheaper though, I got a couple at a really good deal when I had coupons.

I swear I had two more Garnier samples to put in this photo but I couldn't find them, someone probably threw them away.

I'm working my way through another travel size shampoo atm, and I'm using an Organix conditioner which I truly hate, I just want to throw it away, but while I'm knocking off the travel size shampoo I'll keep using it.  I just feel like it strips my hair.  Blah.

Project Pan UPDATE - One Month.

- I'm just past my one month mark.   Here are my empties.  The deodorant wasn't on my original list but I finished it so I included it.

Here is my original entry with a photo of the products. CLICK.

I have another travel size shampoo I'm going to work on next and I have more samples to work on.   When I started working on the travel shampoos (why do they never give travel conditioner as samples half the time?) I started using a new Organix conditioner I wanted to try, so I might put a nice little dent in it too when I'm not clearing out samples.

I also came across a gel deodorant I had that'll expire in May so I'm working my way through that.   And for a hand lotion I'm using an EOS.

I haven't finished everything in this Project Pan, but I've got some good dents in the eye make up remover and the body wash.   And the EOS balm is just about gone, or getting close.   I was sick for a good part of this month and it's been hectic so I haven't worn a lot of make up this month so no big dent in the palette.   The eye primer is feeling emptier but I can't really tell entirely how far down it is.  Also I have been using quite a bit of the base coat I've been using.

I'm not sure how I want to proceed with my Project Pan.   And my partner has gone MIA, I hope she's okay.  I think I won't confine myself to the palette but I am going to keep working on some of the products like the base coat, make up remover, body wash, primer, mascara.   And I'm going to keep working on getting rid of whatever travel size hair stuff I have and samples.

I did not truly succeed with not buying anything, I did buy some make up, but I think I did better with not shopping, but now I need to stop, I need to stop as much as I can, truly.   Something bad has come up, which I think I will be posting about soon, I'm thinking of doing a fundraiser for it, which I'll share on here if I do, stay tuned.
