Project 10 Pan: New Year - Update 1

Here is my Project 10 Pan for the New Year!

It's been around just about 2 weeks since I last showed you guys my project items. (If you missed the original post, I went ahead and started because my previous project pan was wrapping up). With the chaos of the holidays I wasn't able to write an update last week, but here's a really good update right before the new year.

Side note: Soooo... I tried to take pictures for my update while getting ready for christmas (eve) morning with my mom's family, but in the rush I wasn't able to get a picture of everything. This said, some of the items below have 3 pictures. Anyhoo, Happy Panning!

#1. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in "Zero" 

Opinions: This is a nice smooth and pigmented black liner. I use it daily both on my upper lid (sometimes set with eye shadow) and on my water/lash line. 
Amount Left: I actually made a fair amount of progress while I've been on break. I think I'm about a third done with the pencil now! (and it only took about 3 months haha)

#2. Maybelline Master Fix Setting Spray 

Opinion: I think this works well enough, but it doesn't blow my mind enough to bother repurchasing it. I wonder if that's just me with setting sprays in general or just this particular one. I guess I'll find out after I use this one up and move on to my trial sized ones.

Amount Left:  There is so little left in this now. When I shake it, it barely makes a sound.

#3. Benefit Porefessional Primer sample: 0.1 oz

Opinion: I really don't enjoy this primer. I find that if I'm not careful it balls up pretty badly on my skin. I'm going to focusing this on just my nose and chin area in hopes of just moving this out. In addition, i'm wondering if this is whats caused a recent breakout on my chin and nose area, which was a problem I had the last time I tried this primer. I'm tempted to just chuck this in the bin honestly. 

Amount Left: I'm about half way done with this product right now.

#4. Dermablend Setting Powder

Opinion: I really like this setting powder. Right now I'm mostly using it on my under eye and chin area. Right now my nose is a bit dry, but I think that might be due to the heat being on and not the powder

Amount Left: It's hard to make sure I line this up just right when I mark it, but this should be around where it is.

#5. Clinique Cheek Pop in "Nude" 

Opinion: I enjoy this blush it has a pretty satin finish and the color suits my skin well.

Amount Left: I believe the petal indents are getting even less visible, but that may also be due to the slightly dirty camera lens. It takes a while to hit pan on a blush (which is the goal for this one).

#6. Benefit Bronzer in "Hoola" 

Opinion: My everyday, tried and true bronzer. 

Amount Left: I reached one side of the pan earlier this week, and when I wen to use it this morning that corner bit detached itself. I think I'm going to repress this bronzer for the next update.

#7. Buxom Lip Polish in "Dolly"

Opinion: This formula of lip glosses is my favorite. I bought a whole bunch in a holiday set this past year, and I'm trying to move them out before they go bad. 

Amount Left: This has been my handbag lip gloss so it's gotten plenty of use these past two weeks.

#8. Clinique Almost Lipstick in "Black Honey"

Opinion: I haven't used this very much. I tend to enjoy sheer lipsticks, but I'm yet sure about the color.

Amount Left: Since it the holidazy season I've gotten away with a good amount of red lip looks. I was hoping for more progress, but I still made at least a dent in it.

#9. Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm

Opinion: I really enjoy this sample. I know the full size is expensive though so I'm not sure if I'll buy it.

Amount Left: EMPTY as of 12-20-17

#10. True Blue Spa Face Scrub in "Apricot & White Tea"

Opinion: My favorite face scrub. I stock up like crazy on these every semi-annual sale. (Side note: I only have 1 backup and they didn't have any during the after Christmas semi-annual sale.)

Amount Left: I will be surprised if this has 2 or more uses left. I only use this about once or twice a week, but my hubby uses this 2-3 times a week, so it's seen plenty of use.

And here wraps up the first update! Hopefully I'll have 2 more products finished by the next one. See you next week in the new year (Is it really only 3 days away?)

Project 10 Pan: New Year

Here is my Project 10 Pan for the New Year!

I know this is a tad early, but I didn't want the last project to drag on with just two products for another two weeks.

#1. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in "Zero" 

Opinions: This is a nice smooth and pigmented black liner. Stays decently well in my waterline.
Amount Left: This is my first roll-over product. As you can see I've been working on this already for about 6 weeks. I'd say I've used about a fourth of it so far.

#2. Maybelline Master Fix Setting Spray 

Opinion: I think this works well, I just have problems remembering to reach for it.

Amount Left:  This is my second roll-over product. There is no way to see inside this container (and as such there will be no pictures of update progress). When I shake the container, It sounds like is right around the bottom of the pink line (but that is just a guesstimation).

#3. Benefit Porefessional Primer sample: 0.1 oz

Opinion: I really don't enjoy this primer. I find that if I'm not careful it balls up pretty badly on my skin. I'm going to focusing this on just my nose and chin area in hopes of just moving this out.

Amount Left: The container is full, but as you can see it's a very small sample size (only 0.1 oz).

#4. Dermablend Setting Powder

Opinion: I really like this setting powder. It sets my face without drying out my skin, and gives it a beautiful smooth appearance.

Amount Left: I believe this only had about a third product left. It is currently at the line shown in the picture.

#5. Clinique Cheek Pop in "Nude" 

Opinion: I enjoy this blush it has a pretty satin finish and the color suits my skin well.

Amount Left: I've already rubbed off most of the pretty pressed flower imprint. I want to hit pan, but I'm not sure how deep the product goes so we'll see!

#6. Benefit Bronzer in "Hoola" 

Opinion: My everyday, tried and true bronzer. It's from the summer of 2015, however, so I really want to move it out before it gets bad.

Amount Left: I have substantial pan in the center, but the corners of this product are still to the top. I will repress this once the product is mostly on the edges

#7. Buxom Lip Polish in "Dolly"

Opinion: This formula of lip glosses is my favorite. I bought a whole bunch in a holiday set this past year, and I'm trying to move them out before they go bad.

Amount Left: This one is basically full, when I hold it up the light, you can see it's at the black line.

#8. Clinique Almost Lipstick in "Black Honey"

Opinion: I haven't used this very much. I tend to enjoy sheer lipsticks, but I'm yet sure about the color.

Amount Left: Mostly full; only used a handful of times previously.

#9. Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm

Opinion: I really enjoy this sample. I know the full size is expensive though so I'm not sure if I'll buy it.

Amount Left: This will be my first product finished. There is only that little dollop left on the size . (This is my gimme product for this round haha)

#10. True Blue Spa Face Scrub in "Apricot & White Tea"

Opinion: My favorite face scrub. I stock up like crazy on these every semi-annual sale.

Amount Left: Nearing the bottom. I marked a black line on the side where the bottle becomes flattened.

And these are the products I will be working on. Just so you know, I do updates weekly. It helps me remember what I'm using. Plus it allows me to see progress quickly (which keeps me motivated) So I will see you next Sunday!

Project 10 Pan: Update 5/Finale

It's Update Time for my project 10 pan!

It is officially 6 weeks since I started the project! (It was crazy last week so I was unable to post an update).

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

Opinions: I enjoyed this, but I was so excited to see it go. I'm planning on repurchasing it after I use up a few more lip glosses.

Amount Left:  Finished 12-7-17!!

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

Finished 11-30-17

#3. Sephora MicroSmooth Baked Face Compact in "Light 05"

Finished 11-12-17

#4. NARS Satin Lip Pencil in "Rakuan" 

Finished 11-18-17

#5. Maybelline Master Fix Setting Spray 

Opinion: This is alright. I think it MIGHT extend the life of my makeup, but it's not a staple in my collection. I think I'll toss this if it's not used up by the end of this year. 

Amount Left: Progress was made, however, I have no idea how much is really in there. 

#6. Laura Mercier Cavier Stick in "Rose Gold" 

Opinion: Lovely formula. It lasts really well on my eyes. I might repurchase a caviar stick in a different color sometime in the future.

Amount Left: Finished 12-14-17

#7. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in "Zero" 

Opinion: Nice black liner! Goes on smooth, not much else to say.

Amount Left: I feel like I've made good progress on this item over all, but it still has many weeks to go. This product is going to roll over to the next project.

#8. Becca Backlight Priming Filter

Finished: 11-11-17

#9. First Aid Beauty Red Clay Face Cleanser

                                                                      Finished 11-16-17

#10. Ole Henrickson Truth Serum

Finished 11-16-17

Alright that's my progress. Thanks for reading! This concludes my Project 10 Pan. I will be back to post my new project soon (Goal is by tomorrow). The two unfinished items (the Maybelline setting spray and the urban decay eyeliner) will roll over to that project. See you soon.

Project 10 Pan: Update 4

It's Update Time for my project 10 pan!

Sorry for the delay. I did take the pictures on Saturday, but I was sick in bed all weekend.
It is officially 4 weeks since I started the project.

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

Opinions: I enjoy this, but I'm excited to see it finally go after working on it since the start or October.

Amount Left:  I wasn't expecting this much progress (as I left it at at school from last Tuesday the 21th until Monday the 28th), but there was a HUGE jump this time. I'm still able to scrape some off the sides so I'll use what I can this next week, but there is so little left I'm not sure how long it'll last.

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

Opinions: I'm going to miss this powder. It was one of my favorites for a pressed setting powder. I'll have to hunt down another pressed setting powder after I use more of my loose setting powder samples.

Amount Left: This was finished on Nov 30th.

#3. Sephora MicroSmooth Baked Face Compact in "Light 05"

Finished 11-12-17

#4. NARS Satin Lip Pencil in "Rakuan" 

Finished 11-18-17

#5. Maybelline Master Fix Setting Spray 

Opinion: This is alright. I think it MIGHT extend the life of my makeup, but it's not a staple in my collection. I think I'll toss this if it's not used up by the end of this year. 

Amount Left: Progress was made, however, I have no idea how much is really in there.

#6. Laura Mercier Cavier Stick in "Rose Gold" 

Opinion: Lovely formula. It lasts really well on my eyes, but I'm getting tired of the same color over and over.

Amount Left: We're almost there! Another week or two of constant use and I think it'll be done.

#7. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in "Zero" 

Opinion: Nice black liner! Goes on smooth, not much else to say.

Amount Left: Not amazing progress on this product this time. I only wore this Mon, Tues, and Wed this week and only on my top lid. I wasn't feeling like spending a ton of time on my makeup this week since I was feeling under the weather.

#8. Becca Backlight Priming Filter

Finished: 11-11-17

#9. First Aid Beauty Red Clay Face Cleanser

                                                                      Finished 11-16-17

#10. Ole Henrickson Truth Serum

Finished 11-16-17
