Hi guys! So lately I have been meaning to make this post, and as you can see I have been working on a few of these items for a while now. Be sure to let me know in the comments if you have used any of these items, and if you liked them or not!
For those of you who don't know, Project Pan is like a little mission that you make for yourself to use up a certain number of items until they run out, or for powders, hit the pan. I think I have less make up than the average girl, because I don't like keeping things past expiry, and I know that the more I have means the less likely I will ever use anything up, but I still hate wasting make up. So here are the 10 items I have selected to work on finishing up.
1. Nars Highlight in Albatross
We all know this product is a cult classic, and while it is beautiful, I just don't find myself wanting to highlight myself very much, especially not on a daily basis. That being said, I am not wasting the $30-60 or however much it was I paid for this to in the end never use it. So, it is on my list!
2. Revlon Finishing Powder
I got this beauty in Japan, and I loved it so much I used it every day. Then, I hit pan, and because I didn't want to finish it I stopped using it. But, now knowing it is a little old.... I feel compelled to add it to the list. Because I'd rather finish a slightly older product than throw it away when there is hardly any left!
3. Mac Studio Fix Fluid in NC15
This was my first ever 'high-end' product. I loved it when I first got it, it's got such high coverage. And it would, it smells like paint and it's as thick as. Now I've broadened my horizons, I've realised how this foundation isn't actually all that great at all, at least not for me. So, I've been using it every day to school to try and use it up. My finger here is showing how much I have left to go~!
4. Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser
Oh, my, god. I actually finished one of these a few weeks ago, but my mother had given me one months and months ago because she didn't like it, and I at the time did. This is a great product, it does what it says, and I use it wherever I have a pimple, big pores and also under my eyes. But, I am sick of it. My sister went through her makeup recently and gave me ANOTHER one to use up, and I will... because although I have a few primers, I don't have any that are 'pore erasing' primers.
5. Australis Primer
I started using this once I moved back to Japan, because it was inexpensive. I went through that, and bought another. Now, I don't think it's a great product. It probably doesn't even help my foundation stay on, and I have other primers I'd rather use. So, I've put this guy on the list here to use it up once and for all.
6. Australis Fresh and Flawless Powder
I got this because it's meant to be a dupe for MAC Studio Fix Powder. I've never tried that, but I'd say this powder is really good. I actually have a back up of it in my cupboard, and I do like this powder. It does the job, but I've put it on this list to ensure I finish this one up. I use this daily, and I'm working on it more than the Revlon one.
7. MAC Mineralized Skin Finish in Medium
I got this in Japan before I moved back, and it was recommended to me by a staff member as a setting powder. It actually ended up being too dark for me, so I use it to contour my face on days where I don't want a dark contour. As you can see, I've done a fairly good job and there isn't much to go.
8. I'll edit the name of this here, but it's just a pressed powder.
I got this because I thought it was fancy, and it's nothing special. I use it to set under my eyes and anywhere where I use concealer before finishing off the rest of my face. It's taking forever to use up because of that...
9. Kate Eyebrow Pallette
I love this product. I have to show you guys how I have been using it to do my eyebrows in less than 3 minutes. It's just a great product, and I will definitely get more when I go back to Japan. But I want to use it up first.
10. Etude House Play 101 Pencil
The last product is one that I neither love nor hate. I just don't really highlight my inner eye, or my namida bukuro anymore. But I've put it on here to try and use up as much as I can to get my money's worth. I've used it a bit, but it's nowhere near running out.
And that's it! Let me know if you guys have ever done a Project Pan, and I'd be interested to read your blogs or whatever! After this, I hope to not buy as much makeup, because when you have 10 lipsticks, you'll never use up one entirely unless you only use that one... and I need to start saving money!!
See you next time,
ViVi
