Project Pan 2017 Finale

Well, now that another year is done and dusted, it's time I showed you how I finished up with my attempt at a rolling 5 pan project.

It's weird to think that I have been doing this project for a year, replacing a product as I finished it. I must say, that apart from the lipstick and lip gloss, I was pretty easy on myself by choosing products that I knew wouldn't be too hard to use until they were finished.

Swisse Natural Defence BB Cream- This BB Cream gives a sheer coverage like that of a tinted moisturiser, but it's enough to even out my skintone. I used it every day (apart from weekends) since I added it to the project and finished it (was 1/2 full).


 I've got probably half of the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze left. I'm not sad that I didn't finish it and will happily continue to use this cream eye shadow. I love it.

I am so happy that this NYX lip gloss is finished. I was able to prove to myself that I could finish one and am not in a hurry to do it again, lol. I do like to have a lip gloss in my stash for the odd time I do want a glossy lip, but I don't need to be buying any more for a long time!

 It turns out that the Smashbox Lip Liner is not never ending afterall. As you can see, there's a little left, but I can no longer even turn it in the sharpener, so I'm calling it done.

This Milani blush in Luminoso was used maybe once since my last update. That was only because I was using an eye shadow from the palette I was panning as a blush. I do love this one and will continue to reach for it, I'm sure.


By doing this project I was able to finish 11 products. It did teach me that makeup really can take some time to finish, even if you are just concentrating on set items to use them up. I also learnt that I don't need to buy and hoard so much makeup, what's the point in having so much to not even use a fraction of it? (Well, apart from eye shadow palettes, I can't see my addiction to them stopping anytime soon, lol)

 As I pointed out in my 2018 goals, I won't be doing any panning projects this year. I want to concentrate on using more of my makeup and doing more declutter type projects so that I only keep the products I enjoy using.

 Thanks for reading xx

    Great to see your progress. I am hoping to use up a lot of the makeup I own in 2018 and not buy more!

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
