little white truths

Hello and welcome to another Project Pan mini update for the year.

While I only posted my full update a few days ago, I did mention that I expected to finish this sample lip product very soon, and so I have.

There are my markers:

It's my BareMinerals Gen Nude Patent Lip Lacquer in Everything. 

While I did like this product and I'm planning to see what other colours are available because the formula plumps up and smooths lip lines nicely, I was ready to finish it and move on to something else so I'm glad it's gone.

As for my replacement:

It's my NYX Butter Gloss in Gelato. While I love a good purple lip colour, unfortunately this one's too cool-toned so I need to mix it with a pink to get a shade that suits me.

And although I've just put a pink gloss on my Project Pan list, when mixed these two colours don't produce the right shade (it's still too cool) so I have a warmer pink in mind that I'll also introduce soon.

That's all from me. Just a short post today because I have two tired kids home all day so I need to find some way to entertain them.

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

Well, I'm almost two weeks late with this post - but as they say, better late than never. While this blog's birthday was on the 20th of June, we had a rough second half of June and I barely got any posts out during that period, meaning I'm super behind with lots of things. I'll live.

Although I can't quite believe that five years have passed since I started this blog, I suppose it's not surprising because I started it when I was pregnant with my daughter and I now have two pre-schoolers - so this blog has been with me during the mad years. Let's hope it stays around even longer.

As you may know, each year I do a series of blogversary posts to celebrate the passing of another blogging year, and while I don't have particular goals in mind for the kinds of posts I plan to write this year, I generally look at things like blogging resolutions and my favourite brands or even favourite products of the blogging year.

However considering how late I am with everything this year, I may pare things back and just write a couple of posts to mark the occasion. We'll see how things fall.

While last year I wrote a much more detailed post in honour of the blog's birthday (you can see that here), this year I'm going to keep things short and sweet: there's work to be done, tax to be finished and washing to be sorted before I pick up my son from childcare in four hours, so there's only so much time these days and I'm ok with that.

Anyhoo. Happy birthday, little white truths. Here's to another good year of finding tiny moments to write between the madness.  

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