Below are pictures of some of the products I have made significant progress on thus far. I anticipate by March's update, I will have finished one of the products below! Which one do you think it will be? In Figure 1, there is a close up of my Laura Mercier Eyeshadow Singles, as well as my Wet n Wild Singles. The shade "Brulee" is used every day as a an eyeshadow base, hence the significant amount of use.

In Figure 2, you have my very favorite every day inexpensive perfume, Versace Red Jeans, which I am making great progress with.

Figure 3 houses the very last bits of a Too Faced mini Chocolate Soileil Bronzer, definitely will be finished up quickly.

Figure 4, is a picture of my every day staple highlighting powder under the eyes, Sacha Buttercup Setting Powder, which is particularly helpful for women of color. I know I will be able to finish this by the end of the year with a problem!!!

According to the key above, there are five items in the red, which means I need to get busy on them and be more conscientious about putting more effort into panning these products.  Items in orange have some progress, but also need more attention. Items in pink, green, and purple, I am anticipating finishing by the end of the year without an issue. I hope you will continue to follow me on my journey to make better use of my collection. Leave a comment below. I am always open to suggestions.
