Oops, I took the picture on the 3rd of February, but completely forgot to post it. The first month with a new Pan That Palette is probably my favourite time. Although I already used and know these eyeshadows, it was still nice to use them in this new arrangement. The clear visual progress on Honeysuckle is the most exciting thing for me; the rest don’t really look that much different, but we can’t have it all. I’m happy I got good use on each of the eyeshadows.
I will keep Lavender as my focus eyeshadow for February, because I find it the most appropriate colour for these colder winter months. I thought about focusing on Foxglove, but I know I will still get the use out of it regardless of it being a focus eyeshadow or not. I think I’m still quite far off from hitting pan on any of the eyeshadows or using up Honeysuckle, so I’ll avoid setting any goals of those sorts.
**Goals for January**
* focus eyeshadow: Lavender, use at least x10
* This is a workhorse eyeshadow, and it was very easy to incorporate it into my everyday look. I like combining it with Foxglove, so that’s always an easy go-to, but I also found out I like it all over the lid. I tried it with a light gold shimmer, but that wasn’t quite as nice as I imagined. It didn’t really work as a blush, which is a shame; it was just too muddy and dark for my preferences.
* do an eyeshadow look using the whole quad
* All of these eyeshadows stand on their own as a one-and-done, and I know they work in some combinations, but I wasn’t the happiest with how they looked combined. Mostly because I was the mattes looked quite muddy when blended. Perhaps I can find a different way of layering this quad. However, I barely have the time to swipe on two eyeshadows in the morning, let alone carefully blend and build mattes before layering the shimmers, so it probably won’t happen soon. I’m still glad I tried it.
