Hey Everyone,
Today's video is an update on how I am doing with my first Project Pan. I am excited to say I have a few empties, however there are a few products that I don't think I'll be able to complete before the new year. I will be filming a finished video on January first with my final thoughts on Project Pan.
If you have any questions about the products above, feel free to ask below in the comments.
Thank you,
xoxo Ambe...
FINISH 32 BY 2017 UPDATE | AMBER COLADA

Today's wishlist wednesday comes from MAC Cosmetics. I like to keep a revolving wishlist on the MAC website with all the items that interest me and I want to purchase next time I'm at the store. I am an employee of Estee Lauder which means I do get a discount on products which is amazing.
I have many single eyeshadows from MAC and I think it would be great to depot them and put them in a palette. I find it a lot easier to find and use eyeshadows when it's just one palette, than 15 individual eyeshadows.
Also I want to get a 4 shadow palette to put different eyebrow shades for when I am freelancing. As I've said before in my Empties post, I recently discovered Prep & Prime and I am in love.

Hey everyone!
Thanks for visiting my blog. So the other day I filmed my "Empties" video for September & October, and unfortunately I didn't realize that it hadn't recorded the voice until after I threw away the products. Luckily I took one photo of the products before I tossed them. So here it it:
So first off, it was really hard for me to not throw away items after I used them up. I kept forgetting and I threw away a ton of products, which is why this is for the month of September and October. Otherwise the Empties collection would be too small for me to talk about.
I finished another Neutrogena Makeup remover towelettes, and if you know me, then you know this is the most important beauty item I own. I swear by these and I recommend them to anyone...

Yay! I'm so excited to finally declutter my nail polish collection!! I went from way to much polish to just enough. I realize I spend way to much money on nail polish, that could be used for something more important.
One thing that I didn't film in the video is that I sold a lot of the nail polish that was unused on Ebay and I made $160 from it! It was so easy to sell the items, and now I have some money to put towards future beauty purchases. I am going to be more selective going forward...

I'm so excited to be doing my first Project Pan! I was inspired by youtuber "Yunging19," to put out this video. The main goal of Project pan is to use the products you have before spending money on more product, and basically these are 32 products that I want to use by December 31, 2016.
I will post a video in the beginning on 2017 to update you and let you know if I finished all these products and review each one.

Yay!! I finally got a Voxbox from Influenster. It's been about 3 months since I signed up with them and I'm so happy they sent me the Giorgio Armani Voxbox for testing purposes. Inside the box I received a full size Si Intense perfume and 2 Lip Maestro lip colors. I'm totally in love with the perfume, its sophisticated and sexy. The Lip Maestros are great too, however I normally don't wear red lips. Take a look at my video below for a more in depth review.

Good makeup brushes are the most important tools to have in your makeup kit.You don't need to spend alot of money to have a good set of brushes. In my freelance kit I have brushes on the low end from Target for about $3 each and I have brushes on the higher end like MAC and Sigma. Its important to know that you can find a good brush set for under $30 that will include every brush you need and has great quality.
When I started out freelancing in 2008, there weren't many brands of brushes that were affordable. I purchased brushes from Target, Coastal Scents and Sigma. Sigma cost a lot less back then, a full pro set of brushes were $69. Those were pretty much the only affordable brushes out there. Today you have brands like Morphe, BH Cosmetics, and EyesLipsFace that are great too.

I'm totally obsessed with designer handbags! I've always wanted a Chanel Classic Flap and that has been #Goals for me.
So I've been totally obsessing over the Gucci Soho Disco lately. I love cross body bags and this one just looks so chic. They cost about $980 so there not totally breaking the bank but they are a little pricey. I think the Rose Beige Leather is gorgeous. I've seen some people with a beautiful light pink bag, but when I went to Gucci they said that was an older color.
Dior recently came out with the Diorama bag which is amazing. Its similar in style to the Chanel Classic Flap in my opinion. I've never been really impressed by Dior handbags, but since they came out with the Diorama I've been obsessed. I think the Diorama bag in the Nude...

Hey everyone! I hope you're having a great Friday!
I recently downloaded the "Stylebook" app in hopes that it would help me stay organized with my closet. The cool thing about the app is that it allows you to have an overview of all the items in your closet when you're away from home or shopping, and you can tell if you already have that item or not. Another cool thing about the app is that you can add the clothes to your calendar so you know what you wore last Thursday or how many times you wore that dress and if it was really worth the purchase.
Also you can put style inspiration in the app so you can look back at outfits that inspire you. I thought this was pretty cool because I often screenshot celebrities and bloggers' outfits and then the photos just sit in my phone and I never...

Hi everyone!
I just uploaded a video on what's in my LV Speedy 30. This is a bag I am very proud of because its my first high end designer bag and my boyfriend helped me get it. I got the Bandouliere because it has straps so I can carry it as a cross body or on the shoulder. I am so impressed by the quality of Louis Vuitton, it is amazing!
Below is the video I posted on Youtube if you are interested in watching. Please subscribe and thumbs up, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi everyone! Thanks for visiting my page! Today I decided to organize and clean out my closet as the seasons are beginning to change. I like to organize my closet about every 3 months and do a full cleanout about every 6 months where I donate clothes I'm no longer wearing.

So I've been hearing a lot about GLAMGLOW lately and I've been dying to try out their products. I've always been really into anti aging so I decided to try out their anti-aging line. Right now there is a great deal on Sephora.com with GLAMGLOW's holiday sets. You can get the entire Anti aging line for $69 where normally the mask only is $69. I'm tempted to buy another gift set to try out their other products. :)
The set includes a full size Youthmud Tinglexfoliate treatment, a travel size Supermud Clearing Treatment, A travel size Daily Exfoliating Cleanser, and an applicator brush.
The first product I tried was the Youth Cleanse Daily Exfoliating Cleanser. It starts out like a mud and then as you add water it gets foamy. I really like the cleanser however I would use it as a special occasion cleanser not a daily cleanser.

1. To expel positivity, and never dwell on the negatives.
2. Try not to over exert myself. I constantly say “yes” to a hundred things and work as much as possible, however 2015 flew by so fast and I didn’t have much time to enjoy it. So I want to take the time to smell the roses, or paint on a Sunday and watch the sunset.
3. Save $, and spend less. I don’t need much so I want to only spend on necessities so I can save for a house.
4. Eat Cleaner. I don’t want to put junk food and chips into my body because it makes me feel sluggish....
