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.

Well-Being: A Better Night's Sleep

  Hello, Dolls A good night's sleep is something I've been chasing after for years. Like many people, my nights can be chaotic. Not to mention, I've been suffering with insomnia for years, yes years.     It takes me a while to unwind and fall asleep, and when I finally do, I wake up several times throughout the night. I’ve taken several sleep aids and remedies through the years. I've tried teas, linen sleep sprays, over the counter and prescription aids, and almost every lavender night time product out there. Some were helpful at first, but after a while, I think my body got immune to it. So, I was very curious when Highline Wellness gifted me a bottle of their CBD Night gummies. I was skeptical at first, but they’re really working for me.  The melatonin helps you to fall asleep, and CBD helps you to stay asleep. I’m able to fall asleep faster, and stay asleep longer. An added benefit is I don’t wake up the next morning experiencing grogginess like I’ve felt with ot...

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 in...
