It has officially been 4 weeks/one month in! While making the pictures for this post, I was amazed at how much each of the products have been used! You might notice that the pictures are a little different this time. I decided that since this was the one month mark, I would compare my progress with where I was last week and at the start of this project. (The left is the start, the middle was last week, the right was this week.)
Well, let's get started!
First up: The Love & Beauty (by Forever 21) Sheer Lip Color (No shade listed)
 |
| 9-10-14 10-1-14 10-8-14 |
Amount Left: I think I've reached about the half-way mark! So hopefully this will be gone early November.
Opinion: I like this as prep step before applying lip products because the formula feels really nice on my skin. However (I want to re-iterate) this is NOT a sheer lip color as the name would suggest, this is a clear balm - and has been since I received it. As a lip balm, this product works nicely and the formulation feels lovely. I always apply some right before bed.
Number two! : L'Oreal True Match Blush in Baby Blossom
 |
| 9-10-14 10-1-14 10-8-14 |
Amount Left: Quite a bit of the middle is now showing pan. However there is still a lot of product along the edge; I plan to repress this as it gets harder to apply. It's crazy to see how far I've come since the start of the project. There's so much more pan now!
Opinion: I like this blush. It's a pretty color and it's an easy product to apply (its build-able). I do find that this doesn't last long on my skin; I have to re-apply this at about 1 pm. I might get this blush again if I can't find a color similar on a product that has better staying power.
Three: Therapy Systems Perfect Concealer in the shade 2
 |
| 9-10-14 10-1-14 10-8-14 |
Amount Left: I think there's somewhere between 1/3 and 1/4 left. For so long this has felt like the never ending concealer I'm stuck with. I'm so happy with how far this item has come. And I couldn't be happier to see it go.
Opinion: I think this would work okay as a spot concealer, but the color is a little dark. This was suggest to me by the retail associate for under my eyes. However, I find it too slippery to set well there (even when set with a powder it moves throughout the day. Plus, it settles in my fine lines there). I've found that if I apply the concealer with my Sonia Kashuk no. 121 (Pointed Foundation Brush) that it helps do sheer layers so it doesn't settle in the lines as much.
Number Four on the list: Benefit's "It's Potent!" Eye Cream
 |
| 9-10-14 10-1-14 10-8-14 |
Amount Left: Hard to say for sure with how I'm using it up (going around the sides now the center hit pan). The sides are are at about 2/3 height.
Opinion: I like the eye cream. It feels really nice on my eyes and keeps them from getting dry patches in the corner. Now that I've been project panning this, I'm actually better at being consistent with applying eye cream, and therefor washing my face every night! (Yay! 1 goal down!)
Five: Lorac's Breakthrough Performance Foundation in Shade "SMS 1"
FINISHED 09-16-14
Six!: Maybelline Color Sensational Lipcolor in "Born With It"
 |
| 9-10-14 10-1-14 10-8-14 |
Amount left: The tiniest sliver! I've never completely finished a lipstick before, and I'm so excited to finish up this one. This will be gone in two weeks max as long as I'm consistent with using it.
Opinion: This lipstick is okay. I find it can look too frosty or settle on my lips funny sometimes, but nothing some gloss on top can't fix. (I think it's the chunky glitter in it that does that.) The color is really pretty, but I'd like a similar one without as much glitter. (I can feel it when applying).
Seven: MAC's Zoom Fast Black Lash
Amount left: I'm a lot close to finishing this mascara, however I'm not entirely sure if I'll finish it before the end of October. If, by that point, I still haven't finished it, I'm just going to chuck it from being too old.
Opinion: I really like this mascara on my lashes. It's adds both volume and length. (And it helps when I get compliments when I wear this - Several friends have asked about my mascara when I wear this one.) I also like that it easily comes of with mostly water. I just rince my lashes with water and this gets most of the mascara off for me. Such a time saver for when I'm tired and taking off my makeup!
8: L'Oreal Lineur Intense in Carbon Black
Amount left: With this it's really hard to say. I can't see inside the container and the product continues to come out like when I started (this has a brush applicator and it a liquid liner). I'm tempted to toss it at the same time as the mascara since they were purchased around the same time.
Opinion: I've really enjoyed this liquid eye liner. It's a super black formula and hold well without being a pain to take off at the end of the day. I also find that I can make the line both thick or thin making it very versatile. If I could find this again, I would re-purchase it!
9. Bath & Body Works' Honey Sweetheart Lip Gloss
 |
| 9-10-14 10-1-14 10-8-14 |
Amount left: I'm just about at the halfway mark. So much further than when I first started!!
Opinion: I really like this gloss. It has a pretty subtle shimmer with a sheer light pink color to it. This also smells so good when I apply it! I will miss this one when it's gone as I can't repurchase it.
10. Bath & Body Works' Travel-sized Body Lotion in Beautiful Day
FINISHED 9-20-14
That's all the progress I have to show. I can't wait to see what this looks like a month from now after seeing how far I've come in this one month span! I feel very accomplished :)
