I'm Hitting Pan...Are you?

Yay!!! I'm finally hitting pan on lipstick! For those that don't know, hitting pan means that you've used a product so much that you can start to see the inside pan of the container... in other words-you've used the product so much that you're about to run out of it :) I've hit pan on products before but never lipstick.


Mac "O" and Viva Glam VI SE
 Mac "O" lipstick (purplish-red with golden pearl) which is the first lipstick I ever bought from Mac and Viva Glam VI special edition (blue based pink) are the two lipsticks that I'm hitting pan on. "O" I have had forever (shameful, I know) and Viva Glam VI I've had for a year... I've been wearing it to work every day and now it's almost gone. I love Viva Glam VI... I've never been crazy about "O" but it's wearing on me.


Can you tell how much I've been wearing them? Look how tall the Pink Nouveau lipstick is in comparison!

Swatches: Mac "O" on left and Viva Glam VI SE on right...

Will I Repurchase Them?

No, I have too many other lipsticks (at least 20) in my collection that I need to use. The Viva Glam VI SE was a limited edition anyway so I can't repurchase it, even if I wanted to.


What lippies or makeup are you hitting pan on? Will you repurchase any of them?

I'm totally with you on the using what you have...my family jokes because I have so much crap. They're like you only have one pair of eyes, a set of lips and a nose...yet you have enough makeup for 50 lol. It's starting to make me think twice before buying new stuff.

@Cocoa: Hey girl! Yes, I have many items just sitting there that I've never worn either. I'm just now using makeup I bought in November! Now, I'm starting to use makeup I bought in April smh!

@Sher: Wow, Sher... a couple more Mac items and you'll have enough to back 2 Mac for your free item. I know you really like the Iman and Nars foundation-you use them a lot on your blog FOTD's.

@: Girl Rates World: Yes, girl I'm trying to use what I have, which happens to be a lot... I'm tired of my makeup sitting there literally collecting dust :)

Hey Ms. Dre!

Best wishes on the "lipstick no-buy" I know it can be so tempting to give in and buy at times :)

Congrats, Gabs! The only products I'm hitting pan with are my Cover FX powder, MAC Studio Careblend, and maybe 5 glosses at the max.

How I Refurbished my Louis Vuitton Speedy...

I bought an authentic preloved Louis Vuitton Damier Speedy bag a few months back. While I was so excited to finally get the bag and wear it, I realized (at that time of buying and when I received it) that the bag had some wear on it that could use some fixing up. After searching online, I found a blogger,  Lollipuff , who posted an article on how to refurbish LV bags. Based on the recommendations in the post, I used the following products: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Blue Magic Metal Polish cream (tube) and Cadillac Boot and Shine leather conditioner. I also used laundry detergent and baby wipes. All of the products used can be used on any bag to spruce it up. Read on for the deets, to see how you can spruce up your handbag! Before At first glance, the bag had some sheen on the exterior. Most of the brass fixtures had green tarnishing (which happens with aging of brass). The leather handles were dull. The bag had lost some of its shape. The inside was the kicker! The red interi

Mac Face and Body Foundation Review

One of my most used foundations is the Mac Face and Body liquid foundation. I've been promising a  review on it, so here it is. Product Claims "A water-based, water-resistant foundation that provides long-lasting, natural coverage for face and/or body. Ideal for all skin types. Face and Body Foundation provides sheer, natural looking coverage in an easy to blend, water-resistant formula. The long-lasting formula is available in a wide range of colours and contains several emollients to help moisturize and condition the skin. It delivers professional looking results that meet the exacting standards of beauty photography and is ideal for perfecting the face and body." Pros -Price is $32.50 retail and about $19 if you're a Mac pro card member (That could be a con based on your finances). -For the price you pay it gives you a lot of foundation. It's in a 4 fl oz bottle. -Because it's water based it doesn't feel heavy, it feels very light on the face.

Creme of Nature Lemongrass and Rosemary Leave-In Conditioner Review

After promising myself to take better care of my hair, I read in a hair care magazine that if you have breakage or dry hair (like my hair) to consider purchasing a leave-in conditioner, since you don't have to rinse it out-the conditioner keeps on working and conditioning your hair. This was perfect for me because I'm really lazy when it comes to styling and taking care of my own hair... usually I look for products that are easy and quick to use. I do use Creme of Nature's Detangling shampoo, so I figured I would buy their leave-in conditioner. FYI- Creme of Nature is a brand that specializes in hair care products for women of color, who have natural or relaxed hair. They mostly use natural ingredients in their products, which they call "Certified Organic." Product Claims "Pamper your hair with this creme-based formula to soften, detangle, and provide the ultimate conditioning.  Perfect for color treated hair, organic  Lemongrass works to tone and hig
