IndieAna- In Search of the HolyGrail

In my latest Project Pan update I was able to finish 3 products. Because I had to add some other products, I thought I would show you a makeup look using Project Pan and Pan That Palette items. So, the products I used that are in my pan are as follows. LA Colors Mineral Pressed Powder Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze Milani Luminoso blush Smashbox lip liner NYX lip gloss The other makeup items I used are Covergirl Outlast Foundation YBF Neutralizing Concealer Maybelline Fit Me Concealer LA Girl Glide On Eye Pencil Skinn Mascara Of course I also used the 88 Warm Palette Thanks for reading! xx

I have been showing you progress of my Project Pan and Pan That Palette and it occurred to me that I should show you a makeup look using the products. Models Prefer Infinite Colour Foundation- I bought this months ago, it was 50% off, so figured why not. It's too light on my skin. I find it can get a little streaky when applying with a brush but does apply well with a sponge. It's a nice medium coverage foundation, not bad, but doesn't wow me. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bold Gold- I love these cream shadows, especially when using as a base for powder eye shadows. The gold colour has been working well with the olive and brown tones I have been using on my lid. LA Girl Endless Liner in Black- I love that this liner is retractable and is nice and black. What I don't like is it seems to be a drier formula, so it takes some work to apply. I'll be glad when I'm finished this liner. Smashbox Lip Liner in Smashing Define- I have enjoyed using this neutral to...

It's time once again for me to show you the progress on my rolling Project Pan. Annoyingly, I forgot to take a photo of the 5 products that I was panning in the last update, but I will show you the single photos of the products. The MBA lipstick sample in OCD I had to part ways with. Unfortunately it started smelling funky, so that and the rest of the samples have to go. It makes me realise just how much I need to be more mindful of what I buy and whether I am realistically going to use it, especially cream based makeup items. I was able to finish the W7 Cosmetics Catwalk Concealer.  I love to see pan! I believe I will be finished the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bold Gold by the next update. For such an easy to use neutral lip pencil, it certainly is taking me a while to get through. Maybe I should sharpen it more ;) I seem to have made the best progress of this LA Girl liner in the past 2 months. I have been occasionally been using as ...

Today I will be showing you my update on the products I am trying to finish, my last was about 2 months ago. You can see that here . This is a rolling 5 pan so I just replace products as I finish them. I'll start by showing you the ColourPop eye shadow in Cornelius. I used as much as I could, but am calling it a day on this one because it just became too dry to use. I am pretty happy that I got so much use out of it, though. The 2nd product that I finished was the MBA Cosmetics lipstick sample in Drama Queen. I know it's not a huge achievement, but I just want to try and get through these samples before they go bad. The last 2 months I seemed to make better progress on this concealer. I made an effort to use the LA Girl eye liner more, making sure to use on the lower water line as well as the upper, still slow going, but there is progress. I use this neutral coloured lip pencil with almost every lip colour. The except...

Because I am currently trying to finish a palette in my Pan That Palette project, I will post updates of this Project Pan bi-monthly. You can check out my Intro here . So for my first update I will show you how my progress is going. I will begin with the photo of the products from intro then proceed with the photo of current state of product. This Mirenesse lipstick is done... finally !! It was a decent neutral, creamy lipstick. I only had the smallest amount left to finish and boy it feels good to be done! To replace the Mirenesse lipstick, I chose Drama Queen a pink lipstick sample I ordered from MBA Cosmetics. I have a few samples and because they are natural based, I need to use them before they go bad.                                       Progress on ColourPop eye shadow Cornelius looks minimal, but within the time of using since the intro, I scr...

Instead of choosing a multitude of beauty items to finish in 2017, I decided that what would work best for me would be a rolling 5 pan. So how this works, is that I have 5 products in my project that I am attempting to finish. Once I finish a product I'll replace it with another and keep a tally of products used in this project for the year. Let me show you the first 5 products ColourPop Cornelius eye shadow is matte, so I've been able to get a lot of use of this shade by using in my crease. Makes a nice all over the lid colour, too. During 2016 I was doing a rolling 5 pan project on my Instagram ( @indie_ana1 ) and this Mirenesse lipstick was one that I had been trying to finish. It is never-ending  lol, but I am determined to finish it! W7 Catwalk Concealer is a product that I use on a daily basis to colour correct underneath my eye area.  This Smashbox Lip Pencil is a neutral colour, so I can get a lot of use out of it. It's a nic...

September didn't bring many new favourite products to my attention. I had been using pretty much the same basic makeup and skin care products throughout the month, apart from the many lipsticks I have been reviewing.  Here are the products that I have been loving.  Skinn Reorganize Eye Balm If you are in need of some extra moisturising for the eye area, this is a product you should try. It is a balm that is so soothing. It's quite thick, so I apply at bedtime. I often can still feel remnants of the rich product the next day. However, it's not greasy and doesn't migrate to other areas of my face. This eye balm now sits beside my bed. Mon Ennui "Half Jack" Golden green with gold shimmer. This loose mineral eye shadow is so pretty. I find myself reaching for it a few times a week. I love green shadow with my brown eyes. Of course, I love the extra sparkle, too. You can see me wearing it here . Smashbox Lip Glos...
