1. Love & Beauty (by Forever 21) Sheer Lip Color (there is no shade on it)

| 9-17-14 9-24-14 |
Amount Left: About 3/4
Use: I have been using this everyday as a lip conditioner and/or lip primer.I was excited seeing this go down even further this week. The side is messed up from where the product isn't centered in the packaging, so it hits the plastic rim.
Opinion: My opinion hasn't changed really. I do like the formula, it makes my lips smooth and silky. It works well for what I'm doing with it. However, that packaging is really flimsy. I can't twist it up very high when using it or the stick will fall right off. (This is because it is unevenly placed in the tube.)

Amount Left: The pan has continued to grow! The edges though still have a lot to them.
Use: I've been applying this everyday with my Sonia Kashuk no. 29 brush. I mostly place this on the back of my cheeks and lightly on the bottom half of my apples.
Opinion: I love how quick and easy this is to apply. This a nice build-able color with just enough pigmentation. I find this is slightly versatile because I can make it super natural, or I can have a stronger blush (without looking cakey) depending on my look that day
3. Therapy Systems Perfect Concealer in the shade 2
![]() |
| 9-17-14 9-24-14 |
Use: I'm using this everyday as both my under-eye concealer and my blemish concealer. I apply this on my blemish with clean fingertips and my under-eye area with a Sonia Kashuk no. 110 brush (just a regular concealer brush).
Opinion: I really don't like this concealer. I find it to be too slippery; it moves and/or dissipates quickly. It also creases within about 5-15 minutes of wearing it under my eyes. I'm just ready to be done with it. (This is even with a setting powder. This concealer just doesn't want to stay on face, or likes to sit in my fine lines.)
4. Benefit's "It's Potent!" Eye Cream
![]() |
| 9-17-14 9-24-14 |
Use: I apply this under my eyes every night after I wash my face. On occasion, I used this in the morning as well.
Opinion: I'm still enjoying this eye cream. No noticeable changes to my eye bags yet, but hopefully in the next few weeks there will be!
5. Lorac's Breakthrough Performance Foundation in Shade "SMS 1"

Amount Left: FINISHED 09-16-14
Even though the picture shows a little product left, the bottle won't pump any more product out.

Opinion: I love this foundation. It evens out my skin tone perfectly and feels like nothing when its on. I don't normally go for a dewy finish, but I could powder it and be okay. I believe once I go through the rest of my foundations, it may be a contender for a re-purchase. (Just a note, this doesn't cover blemishes well)
6. Maybelline Color Sensational Lipcolor in "Born With It"
Use: I have been applying and reapplying this everyday with Bath & Body Works Honey Sweetheart Lipgloss (number 9 of my project 10 pan). With this lipgloss on top, the shimmer flecks don't sit as weird on my lips. It actually creates a very nice nude pink. This combination has made wearing this lipstick a new favorite (which is good because I really need to finish it!).
Opinion: I really enjoy the color, however, on it's own this lipstick has chunky glitter/frosty aspects to it (I can feel the shimmer as I apply this lipstick). When I pair it with a lipgloss I do really enjoy it.
7. MAC's Zoom Fast Black Lash
Amount Left: I don't know for sure, but I have definitely made progress! I don't have to scrape off excess mascara on the base and tip of the wand anymore.
Use: I apply 2 coats of this to my lashes everyday.
Opinion: Using this frequently after trying out some different mascaras just makes me love this product more. It's so black and gives me noticeably longer thicker and fuller lashes. It also curls my lashes and holds them there all day. I seriously love this mascara and once I've used up my mascaras that are opened I'm going to get another one!
8. L'Oreal Lineur Intense in Carbon Black
Amount Left: Absolutely no idea. (Same as my mascara, another picture would be useless here).
Use: I apply a thin line along my upper lash line and wing it out ever-so-slightly at the very base.
Opinion: I am really enjoying this liquid liner. I remember not liking how thick the brush was on this item. However, I think the brush is great now. I'm not sure if I changed in my liner preferences, or if I just became more skilled at applying liquid liner since using this.
9. Bath & Body Works' Honey Sweetheart Lip Gloss
Use: I use this everyday on top of my Maybelline lipstick in "Born With It". This smooths out the lipstick and provides a wonderful sheen to my lips. It also smells/taste nice. (My fiance loves when I wear this gloss)
Opinion: I'm going to miss this lipgloss like crazy once it's gone. I feel like it makes any lipstick look fantastic. Plus I am in love with the smell of this!
10. Bath & Body Works' Travel-sized Body Lotion in Beautiful Day

| 9-17-14 9-20-14 |
Amount Left: FINISHED 9-20-14
Use: I was applying this to my arms and legs every night before I go to bed.
Opinion: I really enjoy this scent and formula. However, I probably wont buy any more lotions for a while because I have way too many right now. (I was going to replace this spot with a new lotion, but since I have one that I'm working on for Finish 6 by Christmas, I'm going til after that.)
So this my progress! I'm really excited by the lipstick. I love seeing just how close I am every couple of days. I'm worried about the eye cream. I feel like that one is going to take forever. Plus I have no idea just where I am with both the liner and the mascara. It's going to be a surprise just how long those will take.
