#ProjectUseThemALL July-August 2017 Update

Before the laptop death, I was working on my July post, so I'm going to include that info. I made huge strides in August, mostly because I mainly laid off new palettes (I think I bought five- four of the MAC Girls and the ABH Subculture Palette)

July 2017:

I'll readily admit that July was a bit rough for me in terms of #ProjectUseThemALL because I got distracted with all of the new things that I've been playing with and reviewing on the blog. Exactly the opposite of what I was hoping would happen.

Since I've been hauling so many palettes, I wanted to give myself credit. I started with 156 palettes mid-May and I've crept up to 165. And that's not all of the palettes I've gotten (for example, Boxycharm palettes aren't on there!)

Rolling into July, here were our stats (remember, new palettes aren't being counted since it's those currently in my stash I'd like to use!):

Date Project Started: May 15, 2017                 Number of Palettes Currently in Project: 157
Date of Last Update: June 25, 2017                   Number of Palettes Used: 42
Number of Palettes Initially Included: 156        Number of Palettes Remaining: 115

I have to admit that July was a bit of a bust. I didn't meet my goal (getting it under 100), but barely. I was at 102 ending July.

Now, onto August.  I really did well. Saving money did me well.

Date Project Started: May 15, 2017                 Number of Palettes Currently in Project: 165
Date of Last Update: August 28, 2017                   Number of Palettes Used: 87
Number of Palettes Initially Included: 156        Number of Palettes Remaining: 78


There are 122 days between September 1 and December 31. I've got 78 palettes to use. That's 0.63 palettes per day. Let's look at it another way. There are 18 weeks left of 2017. I need to use an average of 4.33 palettes per week. Looking at what's left, I did a bit of sorting:

I think the colorful palettes might be tough for me. Getting through all of those work-friendly palettes will be easy but it's items like the Moondust palette that perplex me. Hmmm... time to go grab one of those crazier ones and pop it on my lids ASAP.
