~ stashy ~ 42 Comments

I’m playing catch-up this week with my Project Pan updates since I was delinquent while on vacation! I’ll do 2 products this week and 2 next week to get caught up with the rest of the PP12 crew! If you don’t remember what Project Pan is, here’s a refresher (I’ve nearly forgotten, myself! šŸ˜‰ ) My first Project Pan item showcased was the Sephora Colorful Jumbo Liner 12 Hr Wear in 07 Brown.

Sometime around 10 this morning, my comments on other peopleā€™s blogs started to not post. Ā When I hit reply, the comment would disappear ā€“ leading me to believe that they were going into the recipientsā€™ spam box. Ā Thanks to Jodi of AĀ BrashĀ Attitude, who verified for me that my comments were indeed going into her spam box. Ā Itā€™s also been verified on a few other blogs that for some mysterious reason, my comments are being flagged as spam! Iā€™m no spammer, Iā€™m Stashy! šŸ˜›

So, Iā€™m asking for your help. Ā On your blog, please follow these steps:

1) Go to your WP Admin Dashboard, itĀ is located here:
https://yourblogname.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php
(replace ā€œyourblognameā€ with your blogā€™s name! šŸ˜‰ )

Or you can click through from the WordPress ā€œMy Siteā€ (where it shows your stats), scroll all the way to the bottom:

It will open in a new tab / window.

Travel Makeup and Skincare: Cruising

~ stashy ~ 79 Comments

I’m going on a Mediterranean cruise coming up this week and we’ll be gone for 10 days. šŸ˜€ I want to pack super light for this trip since it’ll be fairly casual, and since we’re going to warm places, I don’t anticipate wanting to wear too much makeup.

And I’ve just started the Project Pan so technically I’m supposed to be focused on using those products, so I’ve tried to incorporate a few items on this trip.  I’ll be listing skincare here too.

China Glaze Let’s Jam

~ stashy ~ 53 Comments

I always take advantage of a short work week to wear something a little more “daring”, so last week I wore China Glaze Let’s Jam:

I picked this up back in May – this is part of the Lite-Brites collection that I was so excited for, and I was so happy to have found thisĀ –Ā along with a few others from the collection – at Winners. This is part of the reason why I went over my budget so much in May! šŸ˜›

My Very First Jolse Order

~ stashy ~ 50 Comments

I’d never heard of Jolse until I started blogging. Then I came across the amazing Fifty Shades of Snail blog, which showcases Asian skincare. She often talks about Jolse.com and then I started noticing other blogs mentioning the siteĀ so I decided to order a few things to test it out.

Jolse is a Korean beauty site that offers free shipping and credits for every order. I got $3 credit just for signing up, which I was able to apply toward my first order. Ā There are often sales and special kit deals featured on the site.

I don’t often buy nail polishes that come packaged with a cardboard backing – I think these were repackaged specifically for Dollarama – as you can see, this cost $1.50. The bottle contains 12.3ml of polish.
