Hello Tumblr!
I hope everyone had a great October! This is my very first update for my Project Pan. I took these pictures on November 1st.
For those that are following me, I completely forgot to say the names of the products that I’m using! Sorry about that. 😖
Project Pan Use Up Items:
1.) Lancôme Juicy Tube in Moulin Rose
2.) Kat Von D Lock It Tattoo Powder Foundation in the shade 52 Medium
3.) Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette
4.) Smashbox Halo Long Wear Blush in Warm Glow
5.) Colourpop Super Shock Cheek Highlighter in Lunch Money
6.) Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
7.) Sonia Kashuk All Covered Up Concealer in the shades 01 Porcelain and 03 Sand
With that out of the way, let’s look at my progress,
For the Lancôme lip gloss, I think that I have made pretty good progress this month. This is one of the last lip glosses in my collection, and I do like how it doesn’t feel drying on my lips. However I don’t like this color, I think that it doesn’t pair well with my Chocolate Bar palette eyeshadows, so I’m just using it at home or at night before I go to sleep. If I used it during the day, I already know that it would be done by December.
The KVD powder is the only power that I have ever used, it’s so underrated. I think I repurchased it twice, it’s super soft and gives just a hint of coverage. I have oily/Combo skin, so this stuff stays on the warmer months. I want to use this up and try something new, its only coloured powder that I have. As for the progress this month, I didn’t hit pan which is what I wanted. The problem isn’t that fact that I own a ton of makeup and don’t have enough time to use it. It’s that I basically NEVER wear makeup. I am a full time college student with a part time job, and I’m just too lazy to spend time in the morning to put on my makeup. This project is an excuse to force myself to put makeup on more often. If I used this everyday, I would have definitely hit pan by now. I really want to step up my game in November, and try it hit some major pan on this one.
For the Chocolate Bar Palette I want to finish most of the eyeshadows by the end of next year. This is the first eyeshadow palette I ever bought, and I currently only have 3 palettes in my collection. My goal is the finish most of the eyeshadows in my palettes, toss them, and only buy single eyeshadow in a Z palette. I never owned a Z palette, but I love the idea of getting only shades that I love and use. As for the CB I love this palette, I’ve had it almost 4 years and it doesn’t even show. It’s a tough one to pan, but I really want to finish it next year. As the November, my goal is to hit pan on all the Eyeshadows that have the halo on it. I don’t know if I can do it, but I really want to try.
The Smashbox blush I have mixed feeling for. Sometimes I like it and sometimes I don’t. It’s a loose blush in a nude color, you need to grind it to get the color out. The color is great, and you only need a little bit of it to get a good colour pay off. I have a ridiculous amount of blush, I think I have 5 in my collection right now. Which is insane considering how long it takes to use up a blush. I never finished a blush before, and I really want to. This blush is discontinued, but im not really mad about it. I can’t track my progress on this one, since the metal blade thing can’t be removed. I wish it could, then I can just use it as a normal blush. It’s so easy to go overboard with it, so you need only just a touch. I don’t know when I’ll finish it up, but hopefully by the end of this year I will be done with it.
I love the colourpop super shock shadows, I think I have 6 of them. This however is a highlighter, and was one of my favorites for a while. I realized that I don’t like this anymore, mainly because I don’t like cream highlights. I hate using my hands to put on makeup, and none of my brushes work with this formula. I have to use my hands to make it look good. I have been using the large lower-right corner shade in my Chocolate Bar palette to highlight my face and I love it. I have made great progress on this highlighter this month, mainly because I but it on under the CB shade. I want to try and use this up by the end of the year.
The UD primer potion is the only primer that I have ever used. This tube is VERY old, I got this the same time I got the CB palette. I love this primer and I’m in no rush to finish this up. There’s nothing else to say really, but I did made a little progress this month. In the end I’m going to buy this again when I finish all my eye primers, I’m going to miss it when it’s gone.
Last but not least we have the Sonia Kushuk concealers. I have THREE of these, all in different colours. I love this concealer, BUT WHY DID I NEED THREE. I love this to cover pimples, it works so well for that. I have a lot of concealers in my collection, mainly because I don’t really like to wear foundation. I think think putting on both takes too much time, so I just cover half my face with concealer. These SK concealers have the worst color range ever. The lightest shade is almost my skin tone, and I’m not even pale! 01 is slightly too light and 03 is too orange and dark, so I’m mixing them to finish them together. I have been using them under my eyes, which I do not recommend. I need to use a beauty blender with these since they are insanely heavy. I have also have the shade 02, which is perfect for my skin tone, which I will keep for breakouts after I finish 01 and 03. These are not for all over the face, so when i finish these I will buy lighter concealers.
Thank you guys for ready this long post, I just wanted to go into each product better. Hope you guys have a progressive November.
Stay Weird,
Summer
