The Ghoul Next Door🎀

Read the intro here

Well, I guess I learned a lot.

Namely that trying to pan some of these within a year is actually crazy. So buckle in for some roll-outs and roll-ins for my own sanity.

Panned Mini Reviews:

🐙 Love + craft + beauty lip gloss mini in Blitz
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐/5
WNRP but may eventually in another color (I’m a sucker for a black gloss). This turned into a hate pan at the end, but not because it’s a bad product. I’ve had this thing for an embarrassing amount of time and I think the texture had gotten a little sticky. It’s from an Ipsy bag and the color is not what I would have chosen for myself, but it would be really lovely on someone with different (not “deep fall”) coloring. The site calls the Blitz color a “soft petal pink” but I thought it was pretty bright when built up! Since it’s a gloss though it’s sheer enough I didn’t feel like it was too in-your-face for casual everyday wear. The sparkle is subtle and pretty, and does add a nice shine.

🔃Roll-outs: 4

❄️ Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Snow Or Stars
I don’t think this will be very hard to pan naturally since it’s black (even though also sparkly)–also I found a liquid eyeliner that’s closer to expiring so I want to focus on that.

🏺 Copacetic Cosmetics eyeshadow in Terracotta Pot
This is sooooo pigmented, even having lost some of the product when I dropped it this will last me a long long time.

🌶️ MAC lipstick in Chili
3 bullet lipsticks including 1 red one? Not realistic, and I get loads of use out of this one anyway.

🌆 Glossier cloud paint blush in Dusk
This is definitely expired but I feel like I barely made a dent in it. I’ll probably bring it back when it’s to a point it feels realistic to finish.

🔃Roll-ins: 5

🕷️ Too Faced Better Than Sex mini mascara
I’ve never panned a mascara before and don’t wear it often. I’d like to force myself to actually use one up before expiring, so I picked a mini!

🖤 KVD Tattoo liner mini
This is definitely expired–I want to use it up before it goes really bad or gets unsafe to use.

☀️ Caliray glazed & infused lip gloss in lost & sauced
I love this gloss but the packaging split at the top!

🍯 Nudestix mini highlighter in Hey, Honey
I always forget to reach for highlighters. If I pan this it’ll also complete the Nudestix minis trio.

🤨 Realher Eye Am Complete Brow Setting Gel
Barely used, but getting old. I don’t really know how to use this kind of product well so forcing myself to practice with it seems like a good idea. I forgot to add this to the lineup photo but it’s opaque packaging so not exciting to watch anyway.

Skincare

No crazy progress but steady! I’m thinking of either integrating this fully into the 25 items or doing another project entirely for skincare, because separating it this way feels pretty awkward and I haven’t decided if these items will count towards my 25 panned goal or not.

🏖️ Vacation Cardonnay Oil ➡️
💰 Glossier rich primer ➡️
👄 Kindr Beauty Lip Scrub ➡️
🎂 Glossier lip balm in Birthday ➡️ I feel like I am SO CLOSE with this but I know from experience the last little bit lasts forever.

Thanks for reading! Next update mid-month May, should be at least one more empty but hoping for more.
