As a beauty blogger and lover, I’m constantly trying out new cosmetic, skincare and hair care products. However, over the past 2-3 years, I’ve been attempting to reign in my shopping and work through what I own through a comprehensive inventory system, periodic No-Buys, and yearlong Project Pans.

The below products are beauty items that I am happy to have finished over the past 3 months. Although the total number of products finished is not greater than the number of new items that entered my collection, I still view this finished products as a small victory. Please keep reading to see what I used up!

ColourPop is one of the most hyped-up beauty online beauty brands due to the company’s high-quality, affordable products.

Few brands encourage my impulse shopping habits more than indie beauty darling, ColourPop. Not only does the brand create inexpensive, high-quality cosmetics, but they are constantly rolling out new launches and keeping up with the latest trends. Additionally, ColourPop frequently offers promotions that enable shoppers to buy their goods for a discounted price!

I am a huge fan of the brand’s Pressed Powder and Super Shock eyeshadow formulas, but hadn’t tried much else from the brand.
