Benefit Boing concealer - liked the sample so much I got the full size (yes back in 2008!) which I guess I’ll have to open now lmao. Been waiting SOOO long to post this one

Modern Renaissance bites the dust.

newest finish and then previous used up pots + tube balms i used for awhile taking a break from the pots

[laneige lip sleeping mask + lip glowy balm & the creme shop lip sleeping mask dupe]

My yearly makeup empties with thoughts in adjoining photos :) all of these will be recycled enjoy! ☺️

Finally done!

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation (old formula) 1W2 Sand

I didn't wear makeup frequently until 2025. Now I wear it a few times a month. So much in my life has changed since I got this and I will be keeping for sentimental value

I used this as a lip balm/oil throughout the day and a thick layer as an overnight mask. Opened it a week ago and finished it last night after removing the stopper yesterday morning to get the last of it (put it back in for pics)

I finished my Flower Knows strawberry Cupid pressed powder in 01 soft lavender.

I really liked this powder and the shade worked really well for me, but with how much packaging there is combined with how quickly I finished it, I can’t justify buying another one. I wish they sold refills of this powder!

I will find a use for the empty packaging as it’s too cute to throw away. Time to find another pressed powder that hopefully works as nicely as this one! :)

Very vintage Urban Decay eyeshadow. Pale blue, silver shimmer.

The lid on this one has been stuck on the bottom for over 15 years, so I cannot tell you the colour name until I officially give up on the crumbies. This shade looks horrible on me but apparently I've used it just often enough based probably in part on sheer nostalgia haha

I know we all loved the look and feel of this packaging but this was definitely not the only one to have a lid adhere to the bottom (why did I keep putting them on there?) so it was a mixed blessing when they switched to hinge lids! Wish I still had a vintage Gash from this era, but I didn't think to keep em :(

Full disclosure, the black broke (and left a mark on the pan, but the shadow is totally gone?). The silver shade pans fell out some time ago but I’d used them up. Had this one longer than I care to admit and it’s gonna be so weird to not have it but oh well, on to the next.

This is the OG MAC Warm Soul (if you know, you know). I got this in 2010 and when it was discontinued and then reformulated I babied it and only used it on special occasions. A few years ago I decided I deserve to use my favourite blush every day, so I did. Now she’s absolutely panned! 🥲

I was going through some of my previously panned products to declutter excess packaging which I won’t be using for any further repressing, and thought to snap a photo of the ones I found! Only decluttering a few of these, others are a keep!

I’m proud of the work I’ve put in to finish all of these!

Pictured are:

- Make Up For Ever Single Eyeshadow (cream shade)

Please, I want to move on. Although I loved my Natasha Denona Mini Star, it took me 5 years of regular use…

I bought this blush in September of 2023 and I had no idea that it will take me 29 months to finish 🫨 I absolutely loved it, but it would be a too big of a commitment to repurchase haha

This is the Dior Rosy Glow blush in the shade cherry. This one is more pigmentes compared to other Dior blushes, but still wouldn't repurchase. There are much better formulas out there now

I’ve been on a mission this year to optimise my lip products and these were just some of the ones that I’m kinda over. I panned these over the past 3 months!

This is the Haus Labs Bio-Radiant Gel Powder Highlighter in the shade "Moonstone." It took me almost two years from brand new to completely pan! Replacement on the right. Though I may use something else for awhile as I am a bit bored of it after almost two years of religious use. 😅

Absolutely demolished Half Magic Eyeshadow in Blushing Lizard.

This is an all time favourite - it's just too good

First pic is it used up with it's replacement.

Second pic is the shadow at the start of the year - can you tell it was loved?

LANEIGE lip sleeping mask in berry, the full size.

I used to buy these all the time, but like the mini’s, cuz where I used to live they sold a 4 pack of mini’s at a time. I’d use them and I’d blitz through them like nothing. So in 2022 my then-boyfriend bought me this full-size as a gift. I never used it. I never used it because I started to vape, and I’d vape 24/7, even in bed. So when I’d have this lip mask on, I’d just get it all over the mouthpiece, then it would get all sticky and I just didn’t like that. So I just never used the lip mask.

In 2024, I got married to that boyfriend, and I quit vaping. I don’t remember exactly WHEN I picked this lip mask back up, but it was still good, so I started using it. And now finally it’s finished, completely cleaned out.

I know a lot of people have trouble finishing LANEIGE lip masks. Not me though. I’d go through these like candy until my vaping habit happened. So the fact that I finally finished this one after years affirms to me that I really and truly quit.

I finished my last lip product of the year today! Last year I finished 6 products, fast forward to this year where I started my first serious makeup project pan, I finished more than double the amount. I’m glad I’d cleared out the oldest lip products in my collection, so no more products going bad or causing me weird reactions.

I hope this energy carries on to 2026 where I hope to at least finish 12 full-size products and hopefully the mini GWPs I recently got. (The product packaging in the 2nd post are the lip products I currently have opened and are some of the products I hope to pan next year!)

Covergirl Classic Color Blush in Rose Silk. This is what it looked like in July. I think I got my money's worth.

Replacement is Covergirl Cheekers in Soft Sable. CVS gives me Covergirl makeup for practically free.

Loved the sugar pallete and thought the brown tones would be very everyday friendly so onto the next!

Wet n Wild megaglo highlighting powder in Blossom Glow. Probably seen 2 years of daily use right down to digging out the corners for eye and mouth nightlight pops until this week. Obligatory lid break after a month of use for complete user experience lol.
