18 Eyeshadows in 2018, Update 2;-

Another month has passed, so I thought it was about time to share an update on my finish 18 eyeshadows in 2018 project. I've finally hit pan on another shade and I'm starting to see a little progress in a few other shades.

My sample sized Smashbox palette is up first. I use the lighter shade in my crease and under my lash line and I use the darker shade to fill in my brows every time I wear makeup, but I can see barely any progress on either shade. I'm just going to poodle on with this as the dark brown is the only shade I can use in my brows, so I probably won't be focusing on either of these shades at the moment.

Next up is this Mac quad, and I'm trying to use the shades other than the dark brown. I really thought I'd be done with the cream shade this month, but the last little bit at the bottom seems to hanging on for dear life. I should definitely be done with this by the time I post my next update. I'm just starting to see a little progress in the light pink shade as I wear this a lot with the bright pink in my other palette, it makes for quite a nice inner corner highlight but I'm not really focusing on this one yet. I've also used the taupe shades a couple of times as it goes really well with the purples from my other palette, again I'm not too worried about focusing on this shade at the moment.

Next up are my Freedom eyeshadows. A couple of days after I posted my first update I managed to hit pan on the sparkly brown shade in this palette, which I'm really happy about. I'm not surprised that this is the first shade I hit pan on as I wear this quite often to work. I'm really glad I've finally hit pan on a new shade, but I've decided to retire this one for a little bit and I'll focus on trying to hit pan on a few other shades, I might use a this more later in the year once I've hit pan on a few more shades. I've used the bright pink shade quite a lot all over the lid with the lighter pink from my Mac palette and I'm finally starting to see a dip forming. I've also used the purples a couple of times, but you can't really see a noticeable difference yet. I ended up taking a week off from this palette in the middle of the month because I wanted to use a new palette. I'm hoping to get a bit more use out of the pink and purple shades over the next couple of months while the weather is warm as they're shades I prefer for summer.

Lastly is my Sleek Au Natural palette shades 1, 3, 5 & 6 from the top line. As with all of my updates so far the only shade I've used is the shimmery champagne shade.  You can see that I've made a little bit more progress in this one, but I was hoping to see a little more. I've used this quite a bit all over my lid with a pop of colour (usually pink, purple or orange) in the crease and its a really easy look to create. I'm hoping that I'll get more use out of this once I finish the cream shade in my Mac palette as I'll then be using the white shade from this one to set my eyeshadow primer and hopefully when I have it in my hand every day anyway I'll use a few more of the shades.

I'll see you this time next month for another update, please let me know if you're doing any projects as I love reading them.
