Products I've Hit Pan On.

So I rarely hit 'pan on' on any products I buy. Some of these products have been sitting in my collection for quite a while, while some of them are a def 'Holy Grail'! haha. Basically when you hit 'pan on' a product means you use it so much you see the pan!...duh!

So first up we have my Physician's Formula Cashmere Wear Bronzer.

I got this number about 4 or 5 months ago. I found it a tad dark and didn't like it at first. This is one of the only bronzers I actually hit pan on, I'm not a bronzer kinda gal. But I do like this product. I'm starting to get more into bronzers though, I just ordered the Hoola bronzer by benefit! Overall pretty good bronzer, has a hint of sparkle, but I wouldn't repurchase this once I run out.

For number 2 we have the E.L.F. tone correcting powder

I LOVE THIS STUFF. I bought this about a month ago and already hit the pan.The 4 different colors in the pan are supposed to color correct different discolorations you ay have on your face. a know, like the green cancels any redness, yellow cancels purple (under eye circles), etc. I forgot what the blue and pink do! But when you swish your brush around in them its really just a translucent powder. This stuff is great because I have redness around the bridge of my nose and from my acne EVEN when I put foundation and concealer on, and this just targets the last of it. I also love it for the great sleek packaging, very similar to NARS, I love the mirror too! Great for touch-ups, you can just throw it in your purse. Last but not least, it was only 3 bucks! WOO!

#3! Make Up Designory's (MUD) Cake Eyeliner.

I actually got this little guy in my kit for when I went to MUD's school. This is a fabulous liner! I got two,one I keep in my kit, and one for personal use. It looks scary, but its really simple to use once you get the hang of it. This stuff is great because it is very long lasting, and perfect for everyday wear. Also because I can create a simple thin line for everyday wear, and go for a dramatic cat-eye for the night...or day if I'm feeling fierce! This liner is great, and I would definitely repurchase!

NUMBER FOUR: Buxom Lashliner

This is a really nice gel liner. I bought it about a year ago. The advertisement claims that it will enhance the growth of your lashes over time, but I honestly haven't seen too much of a difference. I guess it made them a bit thicker! Regardless, its still a great gel liner. I like it because its long wearing (not as long as MUD's cake liner though) , it doesn't take forever to dry, like most gels do, and it doesn't crease, or transfer to my crease line, even without setting it! This liner is fabulous, but I don't think I'd be repurchasing it because it was quite pricey.

Numero 5!: Milani Even Touch Powder Foundation

Well. I got this powder about 3 months ago, just to try out some of Milani's products. I was expecting some coverage because it said it was a foundation, but I find it works better for a setting powder. I like this product because its great for mattifying oily shiny skin, which I'm prone to! I also liked how it matched perfectly to my skin. Lately powders I've bought have left me looking quite orange. I like this powder, and I would probably repurchase this, but not in the near future.

Numbuh SIX: Urban Decay eyeshadow in Midnight Cowboy Rides Again

I must say this is one of the most prettiest, sparkliest, wonerfulliest eyeshadows ever! I love the goldy glitter chunks and the pretty champagne shade! I got this before summer, and it was my first (& deff not last!) UD product. I like it because its very buildable, opens up your eyes, and super pigmented and sparkly! The only tiny problem I had with it was the glitter fallout. But when I lightly brushed it off it left a nice cheek highlight!

I would definitely repurchase this soon!

#7: Pacifica Solid Perfume in the scent Bali Lime Papaya

I got this a couple years back at a Whole Foods. The scent is very fruity, and 'lime-ey', I get the lime scent out of it the most. I like it, its nice to carry around when you need that extra OOMPH in your day, and its better than a spray because it doesn't bother the people around you much (haha!) and doesn't make ya sneeze. AND it also softens your skin!

This is a nice, summery scent but I don't think I'd repurchase this, it was a bit outta my price range.

AND last but not least...NUMBER 8! L'oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base!

I guess this isn't really a 'pan' and neither is my Buxom gel liner. But i did hit the bottom! I think this is my favorite primer so far. I love the almost buttery-like consistency and how smooth it makes your skin feel. I bought this 2 months ago, and I'm loving it! It's also a fair price compared to the Bare Minerals primer for $22,(this was about 9! but don't quote me haha.) which I didn't really like. I'm not into the gel primers too much. This was also great for my oily skin, and set a perfect canvas for m foundation. I would repurchase this and I think I might have too pretty soon!

SOOOO which products have you hit pan on? :D

The Beauty Social!!

I know this is late, but I wanted my first blog post to be about The Beauty Social (sponsored byBeautylish) That I attended on Sunday October 23rd! It was awesome. I'm definitely going to the next one (this was the first annual)

ahh, where to start! I brought my momma along, and we had a blast. There was soo much to do!

WHAT IT IS:

"Get ready for The Beauty Social, an exciting two-day event celebrating every kind of beauty. It reflects the matte kind, the glossy kind. The big kind, the small kind. The natural kind, the expressive kind. Most importantly, your kind.

Discover how the voice of beauty is transforming from social media sensations, celebrity makeup artists, renowned beauty experts, and successful brand founders. Laugh, learn, and mingle with real Beauties who all have one thing in common: they use the language of beauty to express their uniqueness to the world."

The urban decay booth was my absolute favorite. I got this bright pink glitter 'tattoo' of a sparrow, and it lasted for days! I also got my eyeshadow done. the girls were so sweet and fun to talk to!

Billy Brasfield, or 'Billy B', also known as Lady GaGa's makeup artist. His story was so inspirational, it's amazing to hear that he started out working where I do now! Gives me hope! haha.

KANDEE JOHNSON! One of the main reasons I went. I heard about it from her youtube video and I just had to go. She is such an inspiration, I seriously teared up when I was listening to her speech/stories. I've never done that!! Now my moms hooked on watching her vids too! I was SO excited I got to meet her! She had compliments for everyone and I thought that was incredibly sweet. Ever since I try to compliment everyone I meet, it makes the person feel great as well as yourself! I showed her the hello kitty purse I made, and I told her she inspired me to make it! I love the one she has, its so cute! So I make my own :)

My mom and I had a great time. There was so much to do, and all of the speakers that day were amazing. I also loved Annie and Maggie Ford Danielson, the Brand Ambassadors for Benefit Cosmetics, and Claire Wineland, who is a teenage cystic fibrosis survivor who was full of energy and really made me think again about my inner beauty.

There was also free Shellac Gel Nail manicures from CND, the Benefit Brow Bar, SugarPill eyeshadow makeovers, Cover FX and sooo much more! And not to mention the amazing non-alcoholic 'mocktails' that were offered with cute names like the 'bene-tini' and 'Dr. Feelgood' ! ;)

Last but definitely not least! I almost forgot! One of the best goodie bags from something I've ever gotten, HANDS DOWN! So many sweet treats! Some of my favorites are the Cover FX setting FX powder, RGB Nail Color, NOIR perfume by Victorias Secret, Faux false lashes, NYX lipstick, Urban Decay Good Karma crease brush, Scott Barnes Body Bling, and Exfolikate by Kate Somerville.

This was such an amazing experience, I highly recommend going to next years Beauty Social! You can check it out here: http://www.thebeautysocial.com/
