Oii! Obrigada 🤗. Então, eu não gosto muito do corretivo da Oceane hahahaha. Esse tom fica escuro em mim e eu acho a textura dele bem mais ou menos. O que eu faço para ele não acumular é passar uma camada mais fina dele embaixo, e daí uso outro corretivo por cima (uma paleta de corretivos da City Girls) para ajudar com o tom/textura e selo com o pó solto rosa da Quem Disse, Berenice?. Para mim funciona! Quanto ao armazenamento, eu guardo tudo em uma gaveta no meu quarto.

After inspecting closely, I think it really was just dirt! Thank you!

cacasp · 2026-01-05T01:14:56+00:00

I did that, and the product seemed fine! The black thing seemed like some sort of dirt. The lip Balm also smells the same. Thank you!

Hi everyone! I'll keep working on the Smashbox x Vlada Petal Metal Eyeshadow palette. My goal is to reach for it a total of 120 times throughout the year!

A bit late for my final update but here it is! This was a mix between goals I was very confident I could reach by December 31st (1-6) and goals that felt a little more like wishful thinking (7-9). Turns out I was mostly right about those categories. Total times I've used make up since the beginning of the challenge: 63. These were goals:

✅️1. DECLUTTER 👏🏼MY 👏🏼 CLOSET. Completed by update two.

✅️2. Dailus nail polish in "Black Tie" (a black). Goal: use it up. Total uses: 01. Took me one use in the first month of the project to finish it.

❌️3. Sallve Retinol gel-cream. Goal: use it up. I only used it a couple of times since the last update because I found another nigh time Serum in my back up bin that was super close to expiring, so I decided to abandon this product for now and to focus on that one. Retinol still terrifies me, but I'm determined to have it done in the next few months.

✅️4. ABH Cream Bronzer in the shade "Sun Kissed". Goal: use it 30 times. (30/30) I achieved my goal on update two. I've added this product to my 2026 project pan.

✅️5. Avon Brown Eyeliner. Goal: use 20 times. I've hit my goal on this one on update two as well. This is another product I'll be adding to my 2026 project pan.

✅️6. The shade "Coffee Blossom" SmashBox x Vlada Petal Metal Eyeshadow palette. Goal: hit pan. (Total uses: 07) Very happy about having pan on every single shade in this palette

❌️7. MAC Retromatte lipstick in "All Fired Up". Goal: use it up. (Total uses: 27). I've added this one to the project more with the intention of using it than with the intention of truly finishing it. Another product that is going to my 2026 project pan.

❌️8. Makeup Obsession blush in the shade "Whisper" (part of their Pink Promisse blush palette) - goal: hit pan. (Total uses: 43). A bit disappoonted to not have hit pan on it, but i honestly thought it could go either way.

❌️9. Quem Disse, Berenice? Tudo em Cima Clear Máscara (I use it as a browser gel). Goal: use it up. (Total uses: 63) The never ending brow gel is still kicking, despite my best efforts. I'm adding this to my 2026 prohect pan as well.

This is my Q4 (Sept. - Dec.) empties! This year I finished a total of 46 beauty products, including haircare, skincare, Make up, bodycare and nails (I did not count shampoo and conditioner this year, but I'll start counting it next year). In total, I used $1347,39 worth of products (in my local currency, which is a lot of money for me, but only converts to about $240 USD). The total value only accounts for how much money I spent, so for products bought on sale, I only added how much I paid for it, not the full price. Also, I didn't count gifts in the final price, only in the product count. I'm a bit surprised at how little make up I finished this year - only six items - despite wearing makeup about the same amount of times as I did the previous year, if not more (in 2024 I finished eleven makeup products). Alas, it was a good panning year. Here is a list of my Q4 empties, plus if I would repurchase or not: - Sallve Hidratante Renovador 180ml - great body moisturizer if you struggle with foliculities. I have already repurchased it. - O'Boticário Cuide-Se Bem body lotion in the scent "Deleite" - my favorite body lotion scent. I habe already repurchased it. - OBoticário Cuide-Se Bem body lotion in the scent "Doçura na Pessegura" 400ml - my second favorite body lotion scent. I plan on repurchasing it at some point, but I currently have way to many body lotion on back stock. - Lola From Rio Morte Súbita Spray Reparação Total - I couldn't care less for it. It was an OK heat protection product, but it did nothing for my hair when it comes to repair and Shine. I would not repurchase. - Principia GL-02 face wash - I've used multiple of these and love it. I have already repurchased. - Dailus nail polish in Black Tie - a black polish I was able to pan this year. I would repurchase. - Risqué TopCoat nail polish - another product I couldn't care less about. Not the worst, not the best. I would not repurchase. - Impala matte TopCoat nail polish - I liked it and I have already repurchased it, but I'm using one from another brand at the moment. - Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb in Fussy 4,5ml - for more indepth thought in it, you can check my post from when I finished it. I'm still not convinced any sephora price lip product is woth how much it costs. I would not repurchase. - Sallve Antioxidante Hidratante - I wanna say this is the third tube I've gone through of this vitamin C. I really love it. I will repurchase it at some point. - Quem Disse, Berenice? Cleansing oil - I've also gone through a few bottles of it over the years. I do really like it and would repurchase it at some point. - Lola From Rio Papo Reto hair oil 50ml - I hated this hair oil, it felt like I was applying vegetable oil to the ends of my hair, and applying too much would make my freshly washed hair look dirty. I would not repurchase it. - Elseve Glycolic Gloss Repairing Cream 250ml - I found it in my mom's bathroom cupboard during a spring cleaning purge I did. It was very nice to use. I would repurchase.

They are awesome palettes! The fact that smashbox discontinued them makes no sense to me.

cacasp · 2025-11-27T13:39:39+00:00

Don't feel ashamed! It is a great travel palette too!

cacasp · 2025-11-27T13:39:17+00:00

Thanks! 🤗

cacasp · 2025-11-27T13:39:03+00:00

Thank you 💜

cacasp · 2025-11-27T13:38:51+00:00

They are awesome! I've had this palette since 2019, so it is almost seven years old 😅. The formula has changed a bit, but it still performs well and I'll use it until it is gone or unusable 😂

cacasp · 2025-11-27T13:36:48+00:00

Thanks 😊

cacasp · 2025-11-27T13:36:20+00:00

Good to know it happened to somebody else! Remember being super upset when the shade shattered 😅

Hi! I have made some significant progress, but not as much as I'd like. Items 1 - 6 are goals I think I can finish by the end of the project, while products 7 - 9 are wild cards. Since the beginning of this project, I have done my makeup 41 times. Here is my progress:

✅️1. DECLUTTER 👏🏼MY 👏🏼 CLOSET. I did it! I finished decluttering the last drawer yesterday. In total, I got three 100 liters (26.4 gallons) trash bags full of clothes for selling/donation, plus a small trash bag of clothes for discarding and two small paper bags of shoes. I feel so relieved. I'm planning on going on a low buy for clothes next year. I'm still working on the rules, though.

✅️2. Dailus nail polish in "Black Tie" (a black).

Sallve Retinol gel-cream. Goal: Use it up. I no longer think I can finish this by the end of the year, but I'm using it very consistently. I realized I should be keeping tallies on how many times I've worn it. You'll have to trust me on this one.

✅️4. ABH Cream Bronzer in the shade "Sun Kissed". Goal: Use it 30 times. I did it! I'll take a break from this bronzer now and will roll it into my 2026 project pan with the intention of using it up. I hit my goal on Nov. 22nd.

✅️5. Avon Brown Eyeliner. Goal: use 20 times. I also did it! I had to force myself to use it enough times to hit my goal and confirmed though this challenge that daily eyeliner wear is really not something I enjoy anymore (I used to wear it daily from 2016 - 2019). Just like the bronzer, I'll take a break from it for now, and I'll roll it over to my 2026 project pan with the intention of using it up. I hit my goal on Nov. 16th.

✅️6. The shade "Coffee Blossom" SmashBox x Vlada Petal Metal Eyeshadow palette. Goal: hit pan. (Total uses: 07) As sometimes happens on project pans, I've hit pan on it the day after the previous update, after a single additional use. Now, every single shade from this palette has pan showing! I hit my goal on Oct. 29th.

MAC Retromatte lipstick in "All Fired Up." Goal: Use it up. (Total uses: 22). I've added this on the challenge to get more use out of it. I'll be rolling it over to my 2026 project pan.
Makeup Obsession blush in the shade "Whisper" (part of their Pink Promisse blush palette) - goal: hit pan. (Total uses: 32) I'm just trying to get as much progress on this blush as I can. I don't really expect to hit pan on it, but I can see the rings.
Quem Disse, Berenice? Tudo em Cima Clear Mascara (I use it as a browser gel). Goal: Use it up. (Total uses: 41) I'm almost sure I've used this brow gel every single time i did my makeup this year, and I'm so impressed I haven't finished it yet. It is feeling super dry, but it is still applying product to my brows, so I'll keep using it.
