Project 5 Pan - Update 3

It has officially been 3 weeks since I started my project pan. Here is the progress that I made.

#1. Buxom Full On Lip Cream in "White Russian"

Opinions: This is my favorite lip gloss formula. This tube is just old so I want to finish it off. Once I have a few buxom glosses finished, I will repurchase both this shade and the shade "Erin"

Amount Left: I put this gloss in my purse during the work week and it seems to have paid off! I need to remember to do that again for the rest of this week!


#2. Stila's One Step Correct Primer

Opinions: This primer doesn't really extend the life of my foundations, but it feels nice on the skin and I feel it does even my skin tone even if just slightly. It plays well with both my liquid foundation (NARS sheer glow) and my powder foundation (Sephora pressed foundation powder) so it easy to use it daily.

Amount Left: I'm thinking that this week will be the last of this product. Most of the color correcting swirls are gone, leaving mostly the hydrating base when I pump it out.

#3. Bare Minerals Mineral Veil Pressed Powder in "Transluscent" (Discontinued)

Opinions: I really LOVE this setting powder. This was the 3rd one I owned, and when I found out it was discontinued I started hoarding it. But I'm trying to get myself out of that habit so I don't have to chuck items I love because I didn't want to lose them (This happened with 3 lipsticks not too long ago ugh!)

Amount Left: Still slowly growing pan. I'm excited to see the comparison picture from the beginning of the project to next week, as it's harder to see just 1 week of use.

#4. BUXOM Eyeshadow in "Mink Magnet" (sample size)

Opinion: This isn't my favorite eye shadow. I find that as the day goes on some of the glitter particles fall down (even with my eye primer). But the shade is beautiful and works well to put all over the lid as a quick 1 shadow look for work.

Amount Left: The dip is still growing. I've really been focusing my brush in the very center of the shadow. I didn't wear this as much as I wanted to, but I still used it at least 5 days last week.

#5. Mariah Carey Dreams Women's Perfume - Eau de Parfum (Roller ball)

Opinion: I enjoy this perfume. I am horrible as describing scents, so I'm not going to even try. I like roller balls because I can have this in purse to use while I'm out. Plus I feel that the scent lasts longer when I apply it with a roller ball.

Amount Left: Another letter down. Now I'm at the bottom of the M. Not sure that I will finish this by the end of October, but I will certainly be used up not too long afterwards.

And that's where I'm at! I'll update you again for the last Monday in October, the 30th. (Eeek! How is it that close already?!)

Project 5 Pan - Update 2

It has officially been 2 weeks since I started my project pan. Here is the progress that I made.

#1. Buxom Full On Lip Cream in "White Russian"

Opinions: Still my favorite formula of gloss. It was my fall break week, though, so i didn't wear it as much. I was having fun with some of my more bold lip colors.

Amount Left: You can see the small line of progress. I think I need to put this in my purse for re-applications to help with consistent progress.


#2. Stila's One Step Correct Primer

Opinions: This primer doesn't really extend the life of my foundations, but it feels nice on the skin and I feel it does even my skin tone even if just slightly. It plays well with both my liquid foundation (NARS sheer glow) and my powder foundation (Sephora pressed foundation powder) so it easy to use it daily.

Amount Left: I wore makeup pretty much everyday last week, so this item saw a big jump in progress! Yay!

#3. Bare Minerals Mineral Veil Pressed Powder in "Transluscent" (Discontinued)

Opinions: I really LOVE this setting powder. This was the 3rd one I owned, and when I found out it was discontinued I started hoarding it. But I'm trying to get myself out of that habit so I don't have to chuck items I love because I didn't want to lose them (This happened with 3 lipsticks not too long ago ugh!)

Amount Left: Pan is definitely expanding. I'm thinking I'll be pretty close to done by the time November comes around.

#4. BUXOM Eyeshadow in "Mink Magnet" (sample size)

Opinion: This isn't my favorite eye shadow. I find that as the day goes on some of the glitter particles fall down (even with my eye primer). But the shade is beautiful and works well to put all over the lid as a quick 1 shadow look for work.

Amount Left: The dip is much more pronounced. I've really been focusing my brush in the very center of the shadow.

#5. Mariah Carey Dreams Women's Perfume - Eau de Parfum (Roller ball)

Opinion: I enjoy this perfume. I am horrible as describing scents, so I'm not going to even try. I like roller balls because I can have this in purse to use while I'm out. Plus I feel that the scent lasts longer when I apply it with a roller ball.

Amount Left: Down right below the letter "a" now. I'm thinking this will be finished up by the end of this month as well.

And that's where I'm at! I'll update you again next Monday, the 23rd.

Project 5 Pan - Update 1

It has officially been 1 week since I started my project pan. Here is the progress that I made.

#1. Buxom Full On Lip Cream in "White Russian"

Opinions: The buxom glosses are my favorite so it's no surprise that I love this gloss. I wear it most often by itself. However, i discovered that if i layer it on top of bite beauty's matte lipstick in "cashew" it helps give me more of a fall vibe (and make that lipstick more wearable on me! Two birds with one stone!)

Amount Left: I was amazed at how much progress I actually made. I didn't really notice much progress as I was using it, but when I wet to mark it for the picture it had gone down. It definitely wont be done by the end of this month, but I'm excited to make substantial progress on it.


#2. Stila's One Step Correct Primer

Opinions: This primer doesn't really extend the life of my foundations, but it feels nice on the skin and I feel it does even my skin tone even if just slightly. It plays well with both my liquid foundation (NARS sheer glow) and my powder foundation (Sephora pressed foundation powder) so it easy to use it daily.

Amount Left: I thought I'd have more progress than this with using it everyday, but this is the first time I've paid attention to how past the product goes down. I'll have to see come the end of the month if this is done or not. 

#3. Bare Minerals Mineral Veil Pressed Powder in "Transluscent" (Discontinued)

Opinions: I really LOVE this setting powder. This was the 3rd one I owned, and when I found out it was discontinued I started hoarding it. But I'm trying to get myself out of that habit so I don't have to chuck items I love because I didn't want to lose them (This happened with 3 lipsticks not too long ago ugh!)

Amount Left: It's hard to tell, but I think the pan is slightly bigger? We'll see how it looks next week.

#4. BUXOM Eyeshadow in "Mink Magnet" (sample size)

Opinion: This isn't my favorite eye shadow. I find that as the day goes on some of the glitter particles fall down (even with my eye primer). But the shade is beautiful and works well to put all over the lid as a quick 1 shadow look for work.

Amount Left: There's a slight dip right in the middle. I'm not sure how deep the sample size pan is though.

#5. Mariah Carey Dreams Women's Perfume - Eau de Parfum (Roller ball)

Opinion: I enjoy this perfume. I am horrible as describing scents, so I'm not going to even try. I like roller balls because I can have this in purse to use while I'm out. Plus I feel that the scent lasts longer when I apply it with a roller ball.

Amount Left: Last week it was right at the "I". I've made it down to line in the "R" now. Excited to see progress as I have been trying to use this up for so long now.

And that's where I'm at! I'll update you again next Monday, the 16th.

Project 5 Pan: October

HELLO! I'm back after an (almost) 3 year hiatus. Forgive me!

I decided to start up project panning again, just to make sure I'm continuing to use items in my collection.

These are the 5 that I have decided to focus on for the month of October.

#1. Buxom Full On Lip Cream in "White Russian"

10-2-17

Amount Left: I went ahead and marked the starting point with a black sharpie. I looks like I'm currently about half-way done with it.

#2. Stila's One Step Correct Primer

10-2-17

Amount Left: This is my "definitely will finish" product. I currently only have about a fourth (if that) left in the bottle. I use this everyday, so it should be an easy product to finish this month.

#3. Bare Minerals Mineral Veil Pressed Powder in "Transluscent" (Discontinued)

10-2-17

Amount Left: This is already has quite a bit of pan showing. I love this product and I'm disappointed it's no longer being sold. I'm forcing myself to put it in this project so that I'll actually finish it.

#4. BUXOM Eyeshadow in "Mink Magnet" (sample size)

10-2-17

Amount Left: This has a slight dip in the middle, but otherwise not very used. I'm hoping to at least hit pan during this month's project.

#5. Mariah Carey Dreams Women's Perfume - Eau de Parfum (Roller ball)

10-2-17

Amount Left: As you might be able to see, this roller ball has been in a project before. It is currently right at the "I" in Mariah's name on the bottle.

And those are the 5 products I will be working on for the month of October! I'll will post another update in a week with comparison pictures. Thanks for reading!
