I haven't used up many products this month but I have knocked out some bigger ticket items which I am really excited about. I am finding that the turnaround time is much slower now than it was in the beginning. Now that most of the easy products are out of the way, I really do have to play the waiting game with my products. It can be a little discouraging. These posts really do remind me that I am making progress even if I can't see it on a day to day basis.

I don't know if any of you are apart of the Reddit forum Makeup Rehab but this month I have officially hit reverse rouge! This is the opposite of making rouge at Sephora. Instead of purchasing $1,000 worth of products you try to use up $1,000 worth of products. I hit that five months in which is amazing. If you haven't heard of Makeup Rehab I would highly suggest heading over there and browsing around. It has helped me immensely with my panning journey.

May led to many products going out the door. Unfortunately I also discovered that my beloved MAC Syrup lipstick is on its way out. The scent has definitely changed slightly and I am not happy about it. I know there is no way I will be able to finish it before it goes bad completely since there is still so much product left. I will do what I can before I have to toss it.
I also hit pan on Sidecar yesterday! I have been using this along with a cream shadow as my everyday lid combo and I feel like I have been using so much of this that the pan should be bigger. I am hoping to finish this shadow up completely by the end of July. Hopefully I can reach these goals sooner than later.
We are approaching the halfway mark! Hopefully I can ramp up my product usage to really finish off some products that are close to the end. I am also just now beginning a fitness journey. I recently found out that I have heart problems and I really need to get off my butt more. So I am using that as motivation to choose better foods to eat as well as choosing to be more active.
I hope you are all doing well on your goal list for this year. You still have so much time, even if you have fallen off the wagon. Get back on there. I believe in you! Lets finish out the last half strong.
