So February was a short month and I haven't used up that many products. I am not letting that discourage me though. I am still making progress and I had something very exciting happen. I officially used up my last face mask this month and this was the first time that I didn't have anything as a backup. I actually had to go to the store to pick up another one. I didn't even know where to start. This hasn't happened to me before. This makes me so happy to actually see that I am using product up and I am not just continuing to purchase stuff. Let's move on to see exactly what used up in the last month!

I can't believe I have used up so much in the first two months of the year. That is so amazing! This makes me feel so good every month when I see just how much progress was made. Speaking of progress, let' see how much progress I have made in my products I am working on. Let me tell you, I feel like these products will never end. It is moving so. Slowly. Even though I know I am making a little bit of progress each day, I just wish it would move a little bit faster.
Before I leave you all, I want to tell you about the three products I destashed this month. I gave them all a fair shot but I just needed to let them go.
1. Benefit Bad Gal Bang Mascara- Thank God I only picked up the travel size. This product was fine. I liked how it made my lashes look but it wasn't anything worth spending the money on it. What really bothered me was how this clumped my lashes together and how difficult this product is to remove. I use a cleansing oil to remove my makeup and this stuff would not come off. After washing my face I would then have to use a waterproof eye makeup remover and even then there was still some mascara on my lashes. I know that my makeup removers aren't bad and this has never happened before with any other product except Benefit mascaras. It's nice that it isn't going to go anywhere during the day but I didn't purchase a waterproof version of this mascara. It should not be this hard to remove.
2. Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara- This has so much hype about how good it is. I was interested to see if it was as good as everyone says it is. It would also be a plus because it's so affordable. I just didn't like it. It was fine but I wouldn't buy it again. I also felt that too much product came out on the wand and I was constantly scraping it off.
3. Stila Smudge Stick Eyeliner in Tetra- This eyeliner really annoyed me. After just wearing it for a couple of hours, it disappeared completely from my waterline. I also didn't like that you can't twist this liner back down once you twist it up. You never know how much produce you have left until one day it's just gone. I actually twisted this up to see how much product was left and I just couldn't use it all. There was just so much left and I had been using for at least a couple of months and I am not going to force myself to finish something I so strongly dislike when I have other eyele liners I could be using.
So that's my February update! I am really hoping that March brings some warmer weather that sticks around! I also hopes it brings me a bunch of products that I finish. How are your goals looking so far?
