little white truths

Now of course I won't be getting that fussy with my makeup while we're away because we'll be swimming with the kids a lot and what's the point. But there'll certainly be time in the evenings to muck around before dinner, and I'm really looking forward to having the chance to take time with my makeup, rather than just throwing on the products I'm panning and being done with it.

On that, I'm only taking one of my items from Pan that Palette (being my Hourglass blush palette, because I would miss Incandescent Electra too much if I didn't) and I'm also planning on leaving some of the items from my Project Pan list behind.

Why? Because I want to travel with as little as possible while giving myself an opportunity to dust off some things that haven't been getting enough use, this palette included.

Enough preamble.

Here's how my palette is looking today, 13 April 2018:

Yep, there's barely any progress to speak of and I would like to change that over the denting period.

As mentioned above, this isn't a stand-alone palette for me because it's too warm (I've reviewed it here if you're interested). I always need a matte, mid-toned taupe or grey (even a purple) when I use it, otherwise my eye-look travels into allergic reaction territory. 

I mean, just imagine this palette with a pale matte dusty lavender and a mid-toned, purple-based matte taupe (I would switch out Extra Creamy and Spread the Love). Sounds good, yes? Or maybe that's just me.

Anyhoo. I'm rambling. My aim over the denting period will be to get a visible dip happening in most of the shades, if not all of them. I should be able to achieve that over the next 2.5 weeks, and I'll look forward to reporting back and letting you know how I've done.

Hope all's well with you, and speak soon x
