Welcome!

Hello. My name you ask... Nancy. I decided to start blogging all because I am completely unmotivated right now to write this paper on forests. Lets be honest, I don't care for forests and I certainly don't plan on making this a career. Oh well.

Anyways, I want to start this blog finally, because I have an addiction... with makeup. So I decided the way to kick of this blog is with makeup...duh.
My first post is going to be a project 5 pan a.k.a p5p. What is p5p you ask? Well p5p is when you do not buy any makeup until you finish up 5 makeup items of your choosing. Typically these items are things that are already on the tail end of their life. It was a little hard to come to terms that I need this intervention in my life especially since a new MAC collection came out. Honestly, I am becoming broke because of makeup and I need to start using what I have.

My first item: MAC Slimshine in Bare


I love this thing. It is so moisturizing and a great "hybrid" product due to the moisturizing like a lip balm and pigmentation of a lipstick. I already have my back-up in this, since I heard from youtubers that they may discontinue this. Also I don't think they are on the MAC website either

My second item: Clinique High Impact Mascara


This is a deluxe sample I got when I bought the 3 step system. I loved it so much, I also have a backup of this item. I know it isn't good to have for more than six months, so I just want to make sure I stretch it out long enough.

My third item: Smashbox Photo Finish Primer
& NARS Makeup Primer w/ SPF

These are both sample of the products that I got when I bought things. I have a full MAC Prep + Prime waiting for me and another VS primer that is comparable to the Smashbox primer. I really love the Smashbox, but the NARS gives me a white tint, but thankfully I cover that up with foundation or my studio fix powder.

My fourth item: MAC Brush Cleaner

I absolutely love this stuff and sad to see it is on its last tail end. I bought a spray bottle finally to put it on, so I don't waste as much. Can't wait until it all fits in the spray bottle so I can back to mac the bottle. Obviously, I'll get a replacement of this.

My fifth item: Mederma Scar Cream

I really think my scars have been noticeably better, since using this due to YouTuber Lorraine Stannick. Unfortunately, I do not think it will do a 180 and make my skin scarless, so I probably will not be repurchasing this due to $$$.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this blog post. I really needed this intervention. I may only pick up a gloss when I go home, but that is because I did not trust buying it online. Yay! Can't wait to finally bounce out tomorrow for spring break. I think we all need it here.

Love,
Nanners
