It’s time for winter project pan update #2, and we are officially at the point where we need to talk. I’m over halfway through the project, and while I do have a bunch of satisfying empties (especially body washes), I’m also hitting that mid-project fatigue with a few scents. This update really reminded me how much weather and season affects what I actually want to reach for—past Laura picked some super heavy gourmands when it was freezing, and present Laura is like… not always feeling it. For scrubs, I fully finished my Tree Hut Cinnamon Dolce (perfect, delicious gourmand), but I barely moved the needle on the Dove Hot Cocoa & Swirl because the scent is starting to feel too chocolatey and I’m not obsessed with the formula. In body washes, I finally emptied Bath & Body Works Into the Night (a total shapeshifter for me), plus Cozy Vanilla Bourbon and Dream Bright (which I’ll genuinely miss). I’m still enjoying scents like Midnight Addiction and Bright Christmas Morning, but I’m struggling hard with heavy ones like Vanilla Cafe and Peppermint Bark Truffle. On the fragrance side, Snowflakes & Cashmere and Sol de Janeiro 71 are my easy, cozy wins, while a few mists/perfumes barely got touched. Clean Reserve Skin is giving me a new issue too—I think it may have gone off because the opening literally hurts my nose. And then I wrap up with makeup progress: small pan showing in my blush, steady bronzer progress (especially my Merit stick), and a reminder that I need to stop ignoring my lip liner.
