Snail Panning- PTP 2023 Finale 🐌

She’s not much, but she’s honest work… 😂

I am a self-confessed slow panner. After working on Stila’s In The Light palette for all of 2023 (and a few months of 2022 as a test run), here is where we got to:

FINISHED: Bare was a matte cream, and she’s long gone.

PANNED: Kitten, Bliss, Sunset, and Bubbly. I’d panned and then repressed Bubbly, but the formula of the shimmers isn’t what it once was, so she’s a little fragile. Bliss was exactly that: a perfect crease shade that I used every day for the whole year. HOW is there still half left?!?!

I was close to hitting pan on Night Sky, which I’d started to use as a liner shade. The others are nowhere near pan. The matte black and brown are so incredibly pigmented, both really quality liner shades.

OVERALL THOUGHTS:
This is a great neutral palette. I’d switch out the two matte-with-glitter shades (Gilded Gold and Luster) for something more usable, but aside from that, I’ve loved this palette. I need to force myself to throw this away because it’s too old. Bliss is a shade that I likely already have elsewhere in my collection, so I will find that instead of holding on to this one. R.I.P In The Light, you grand old dame. I’m moving on to 2 other palettes for 2024, but I will keep fond memories of this year’s PTP.
