Review- Korean Skincare (Bits and Bobs of Beauty)

Hey everyone, 

Wow, two posts in one day! Arnt you guys lucky. This evening I thought I'd give you all a review of some of the items in a Korean skincare box I recently received to review from Bits and Bobs of Beauty. They are a new company to the uk who are supplying us all with the awesome inventions from Korea without the import duty! Currently they have free shipping for anyone living in mainland uk and do ship out to Europe for a charge. After trying out these few products and looking at their site, I know I'm going to be a returning customer! 

Before I start I would just like to say how beautiful the package arrived to me was! Super cute pink shipping box with pink tissue paper and a beautiful note addressed to myself. I love that added touch and their logo is just the sweetest! 

Tony Moly Glow Ring Hair Mask- £3.50

I knew as soon as I openned the package I wanted to try this hair mask out and I did straight away. Inside the package you receive the product itself (smaller side) and a shower cap (larger side) which has a serum on the inside. You put on the mask after washing your hair and then after pop on the shower cap and rub in the serum. After 10 minutes you wash off. I must admit this concept was a little strange to me however I found it really fun! I loved the smell and how smooth the hair mask itself was. In the morning after letting my hair air dry, I found that my hair was shiny and smooth. This only lasted for 2 days at the longest on my oily hair though. I would consider purchasing this for myself as a pick me up. 

Pig Collagen Hydrogel Mask- £4.50

You all should know by now how much I love a good mask and I must admit this one took me by surprise. I was very intrigued by the idea of it having collagen from pigs skin in it and that in itself is very unusual here in the uk! The other thing I found very unusual is that it came in two halves! One to go around the top part of your face and one to cover your mouth area. I didn't find that this product had a weird smell (or any at all for that matter) and I didn't find any immediate or long lasting results. When wearing it I found that the bottom half slipped off my face quite a lot (so better wearing when laying down) and that the circles were two small for my large eyes. However despite all that I did enjoy the concept and would purchase myself for a good pamper. 

Étude House Green Tea Face Mask- £2.20

Another face mask I recieved in this box and I was so glad it was a calming mask! My skin has been playing up recently with my acne scaring so needed a bit of T.L.C. I was blown away when opening this mask by the amount of serum on the fabric (yes fabric!) mask which had a beautiful smell. The smell itself was not too over powering however when worn and was actually very calming itself. I wore this mask for the recommended 15mins and found my skin was very cool and soothed by the end. As with the Pig mask I did find this masks holes too small for me but I would defiantly recommend this line of masks from Étude House. Especially for £2.20 each! 

Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Nose Pack- £1.99 each 

Unfortunatly I have a downer of a product right at the end for you all. I assume I recieved these nose packs because I said I have oily skin, however due to the fact my skin is so oily these nose strips did not stick to my skin. Unlike products we have in the uk, they did not have any liquid on them, just a sticky side which you placed on your skin. They are said to draw out the dirt from your pores once pulled off but after the 10mins recommended time, I noticed a few dots on the paper and not much else. After trying out the second mask this week, I noticed that the paper already had dots on in the first place. Very misleading. I would say if you were searching for a pore sucking nose strip, stick to the ones from the uk. They seem a bit cheaper that Korean ones too. 

So that was part one of my reviews for the Korean beauty from Bits and bobs of beauty and part two will come shortly once more has been tried out!

Project 10 Pan- update 4

Hey everyone! 

I'm actually a day late with this update! I really don't know where the time is going this year. So far with this project 10 pan, I've managed to use up 6 items. I've now only got about 2 months (so a few more updates) until it's over so I need to get a move on with the last 5 items really. 

I've used up:

Maybelline Baby Skin Primer

Revlon Nearly Naked Powder

Makeup Revolution Vivd Highlighter (hit pan) 

No7 Eyeshadow (hit pan) 

Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake 

Covergirl Lash blast Mascara 

YSL Tint-in-oil lipgloss

I say this every update but my main goal on this item was not to use it up but to get more use out of the product. That I believe I have done. Ever so often I would find myself reaching for this product before work if I was feeling lazy. I've also noticed that because the product is an oil, it dried quickly on my lips. This in turn meant I had to reapply quite a lot! Maybe the product will be used up after all? 

Revlon Balm Stain in Honey 

Since the last update, I've used this product everyday. However as you can see, there is barely any progress! On my paperwork in my little notebook, the lines show I made half a cm of progress which I guess is better than none. I do believe if I want this product gone by Janurary 5th, I'm going to have to wear it every other week. 

Marsk Loose Eyeshadow 

I've actually loved seeing this product go down on the sides. I use this loose dust to set my eyeliner (coming next) and every time I dip my brush into the product it does go down. I don't know whether this has anything to do with the fact it picks up too much product but I don't mind. After this project, this eyeshadow will be going as it was only free anyway. 

Isa Dora Kajal in Icy Blue

Ever since my Stila eyeliner finished in my #9bynewyears, I've been focusing my eyeliner on this product everyday. With the cooler months and glitter eyeshadow this eyeliner matches perfectly. This is the eyeliner I set with my Marsk eyeshadow above. So far in the 2 weeks that have passed I've made a whopping 1cm in progress but I do believe it is because the eyeliner itself is very creamy. 

Maybelline Galactic Mauve Lipstick

I really haven't been using this product. I think I've managed to use it once whilst at work but I did notice it made my lips very dry. I'm going to try using it every other week in turn with the Revlon Balm Stain to try make some progress before January. 

As you can see I have a lot of progress to make but really am not enjoying the slow progress I'm making. Hopefully before the end of the year something else will be nearly done.

November Empties!

Hey there everyone! 

Doesn't this time of the month come round quick? Before long the end of the year will be over and I can't wait to give you all my total amount of items used and value! This month was a very slow month for myself as I have been using ALOT of full sized items and mostly brand new. However I did make a big dent in my makeup! 

(Sorry for the blurry photo! It's late at night over here) 

In total I used:

2 Haircare

21 Skincare

7 Bodycare

1 Sample 

9 Makeup (including a full palette!) 

1 Single eyeshadow

2 Misc

If you did not know, how I do my empties is I write down a value for each item I out into my bin in a little book and at the end of the month I find my total value. This month the total value was £181.21!! I think the value was so high because the skincare I used up was high value items like the Clinique and the InstaNaturals (both of which I loved!). Hopefully my last empties for this year will be just as good.

Nars Glossybox- unboxing and review

Hey everyone! 

Today I have a special unboxing for you all. I recently managed to get hold of one of the Nars for Glossybox boxes which sold out in 28 minutes and today I'd like to show you all what's in it and my thoughts. The box itself was £30 for subscribers plus postage. It contains 5 deluxe size samples of Nars' most popular products. For non-subscribers this box was £35 + postage. 

I must say, the packaging for this Glossybox was absolutely spot on! The box itself is a beautiful matte black exactly like Nars packaging. Inside the ribbon was printed with the Nars text and featured black tissue paper and a black Glossybox sticker. I believe this is one of the best packages that Glossybox has made! 

As always I'm going to go from my favourite to my least favourite in the box, although I'll say now I love all of this box! 

Nars Satin Lip Pencil Deluxe Sample in Rikugien 

I had to just start with this item. I've had this satin lip pencil on my wish list for what seems like forever and I must say, I tried this straight away. The hype on YouTube is so right. It's a perfect everyday colour with a beautiful sheen. I did notice that it didn't last long on my lips but I don't mind re-applying this beatiful colour. A full size of this product is £19.

Nars Blush deluxe sample in Orgasm 

No best of Nars box would be complete without the famous Orgasm blush. Although it does look like a really dark colour, applied with a light hand, it turns into a lovely flush. Luckily I had the perfect blush brush (Eco tools) that fit into this blush and of corse it's lovely for work. A full size would cost £23.

Nars Larger than life eyeliner deluxe sample in Via Veneto

I really don't have much to say about this eyeliner. It's always good to have a solid black eyeliner and of corse I tried this out during my 8 hour shift at work. It lasted well but by the end of my shift I had noticed the outer corners were faded and smudged (probably me though). I will be trying this product out again though as I'm pretty sure I could use this up. A full size would cost you £19.

Nars Multiple Deluxe Sample in Orgasm

I've only put this cult favourite product so low because I really don't have a clue how to use it. Is it just a cream blush or do I have to use it other ways? I think I need to have a good read on blogs and on YouTube to find out. If you have an idea, please could you let me know in the comments. A full size of this is £29.

Nars Audacious Mascara Delxue Sample 

Again I only have one reason for having this product so low and that is that it broke in shipping. 

Unfortunatly when I openned the product the first time the brush stayed inside the product. I have already contacted Glossybox with photographs and they have said they will send me a replacement. I must say Glossybox's customer service are fantastic. I've had to get into contact with them before and each time they have been amazing. 

As you can see I think this is great value for Nars products and although I have some items to figure out and test yet, I'm in love with this Glossybox!

Review- InstaNatural Dead Sea Mud Mask

Hey everyone! 

So today I thought I would bring you another review! I know I didn't used to do many reviews but suddenly I've been buying a few things and have been sent a few items. Today's review is going to be on the InstaNatural Dead Sea Mud Mask (amazon.co.uk for £21.95) and if you've been a n avid reader of mine for a while now, you already know I love this brand! InstaNatural is a 100% natural mineral infused brand which are crulty free, so perfect if you are jumping on that train. 

This product is a mud based product just like the famous Glam Glow without the heafty price tag. For £21.95 you receive 19oz of product which from me using it just 3 times, I can tell you this will last you forever! As this is a natural product though, you will want to use it within the 12 month life span as it will go off. The product itself is a jelly like texture which actually feels very slimy when put on. I found that my oily skin needed more than one thin layer of this mask to work and I could only just have it on for the recommended 15mins. The mask is said to be a detoxifier and purifier, bringing out the dullness in the skin and creating a healthy looking skin. After 3 uses I do believe it detoxifies my skin as the days after, I do have a few break outs. I believe that's because the bacteria in my skin has been drawn out by this product. 

I did notice that when applied and left for the 15 minutes, the product doesn't actually dry down fully but I did like that compared to say the GlamGlow. After 12 minutes of wear on my skin, this product is very tight and my skin feels completely brand new. I did have to follow with a hydrating mask however as I felt very taught and my skin itched. I would also suggest with this mask that you don't get it in your hair (eyebrows and hair line) as my scalp itched for days after my first application. I was so scared that hair might be falling out. However after 2 more uses and not getting it in my hair, I didn't get that feeling again. 

I hope you all found this review helpful and I hope you test out InstaNaturals products for yourself.

I recieved this product for free for my honest review. 

Beauty Crowd Mystery Box Review

Hey everyone,

Now this is a little bit of a different post for me. I've shopped on Beauty Crowd quite a few times and every time, I've had a beatiful package come through the post. When I noticed that they were doing blogger boxes on their pro page, I knew I had to snap it up and unbox it for you all. Three of the brands in the box I have tried before and one I haven't so it wasn't totally a discovery box however I was pleasantly surprised. 

(Please excuse the colour of the photos, it's pretty late when I'm writing this) 

Freedom Long Length Mascara

I've tried this mascara out once already and although it's a brush type of wand, I didn't actually find that it made my top lashes longer. However the bottom lashes looked amazing, so it's going to stay in my draw for that use. The mascara itself does smell floral though so if you don't like that in products, you won't like this mascara. 

Bell Hypoallergenic Liquid Eyeliner in Black

This is a brand that I've tried before and this product is very good at drawing liner. It has a brush tip applicator and the colour pay off is very black! However I did find I could only draw small sections of the line each time as there wasn't enough product on the applicator. 

Absolute Beauty Mark Beauty Stamp for Face and Body

I actually think this product was a waste of time in my box. If you are a makeup artist or have a little business, this would be a good product for you. It is literally what it says on the tin. A beauty stamp in the shape of flower, however the black isn't very pigmented. 

Freedom Eyeshadow Single in Nuevo 

I can't believe the pigementation of this shadow! I haven't actually tried this beauty out yet (as I have no idea what this colour will go with!) but just from a single swatch, it looks beautiful! 

L.A. Colors 3D Blush Contour in Sugar Plum

This is the brand I've never tried before and I must say I love how creamy this product is. However I don't like that the highlight is barely there. You can see the swatches in order above, yet the highlight doesn't appear on my really light skin tone. I also found when applying the blush that a tiny little amount goes a long way! It's very pigemented. I don't know whether it was this brands products that have made me have an allergic reaction recently but I will keep testing it out. 

L.A. Colors eyeshadow Quint in Serenade 

Another from L.A Colors, I really hope I'm not allergic to this brand as I really love this quint! The colours are beautiful and after trying them out, I'm happy to say they blend like a dream. I can't wait to wear these colours to work everyday! (As long as I can)

Bell Hypoallergenic Triple Eyeshadow

I'm not impressed with this Trio at all! It took me quite a few swipes to get this much pigmentation on these swatches. The silver shadow at the left is also majorly glittery and I can imagine that when put on the eye, you will get ALOT of fallout. Obviously I will be trying this product out soon and see if my thoughts were correct. 

Absolute Mood Lip Gloss (left) 

This gloss is really smooth and unfortunatly it doesn't change for me (I have a super pigmented lip colour) but I still like the light pink. I haven't got much to say for this gloss as it really is just a gloss. 

Bell Hypoallegenic shiny Lip Gloss (middle)

I love this gloss! It's such a beautiful colour and could be worn alone or on top of a pink lipstick (I tried it on top of Revlons Pink About Town). It's really smooth and not sticky at all. Seriously thinking about trying to get some more of these in the future. 

Freedom Pro Butter Lipgloss (right) 

Gosh, this is pigmented! I have built up the swatch in the picture, however on the lips I'm sure you could go around with just one swipe. The colour isn't amazing for me so I will be passing this on to a friend. 

As you can tell, I have some highs and lows with this box and seen as I didn't pay much money to test out these brands I'm pretty happy. I really hope I'm not allergic to L.A Colors as I love that palette. Only time will tell!

My Highend Skincare & Bodycare collection

Hey everyone! 

Here's round 2 of my highend collection, my skincare and Bodycare collection. I don't own as much bath and body as I do makeup and most of it I get from subscription boxes but I'm not complaining. I do love my skincare and I love trying out different types. My skin type is combination/oily but mostly oily. I find that my skin likes emolient products during the nighttime and lighter products during the day. I also love a good mud mask! Anyways on to the highend skincare.

Cleansers/makeup removers:

Ren Clarimatte Cleansing Gel- I love this cleanser in the morning as a facial wash. Not rough and doesn't dry out my skin. 

BeautyLab Glycowash- I haven't tried this yet, going through others first. 

Clinique Rinse off Eye makeup remover- Beautiful product, one swipe and the product is gone. Almost finished this bottle for #14by14Feb.

Serums and Moisturisers:

Elizabeth Grant Supreme Essance of Torrcellumn- I recieved this in a bloggers box and I've actually really enjoyed it. Very light and soaks in easily. 

Nude Eye serum- not used this yet, will be started in the morning. 

InstaNaturals Retinol Serum- My nightime serum. It helped get rid of my Milla and has reduced spots! Love this but very very pricey. I recieved this product free for my honest review.

Ren Clarimatte Gel Creme- a very thin moisturiser, perfect for the day. A little goes a long way! 

Talika Photo-hydra- Very dissapionted in this product. I recieved it in my Glossybox and although I love a good moisturiser, it's barely got any product in it! 

Clinique moisturiser sample- I've tried this sample before and I love it. As with the ren sample, a little goes a long way. 

Body:

Nip+Fab Viper Venom Body Serum- I haven't tried this body lotion yet but I have used one before from nip+fab and I loved it! Sank in well and didn't make my skin oily.

Philosophy Snow Angel Body Scrub- I tried this today and the little scrubs in the product are not too harsh and it felt smooth to use. 

L'occaitane Almond Oil- I know this is a holy grail product for many and yet I have to see what like product is like. I don't believe that my skin likes oils so I may not be able to use this. 

Royal Apothic Cream Creme- This body Creme is lovely. I found that it rubbed in quite quickly and wasn't greasy at all. Just not worth the full amount. 

Others:

Nip+Fab Dragons Blood Cleansing Pads- I actually forgot to add this into my cleanser section so it's here. I've nearly finished these up and to be honest I haven't found a difference in my skin. They do take off makeup traces though. 

GlamGlow- I have only tried this product once and it did tingle and make my skin quite red afterwards. A good moisturiser is needed after use. 

InstaNaturals Dead Sea Mud Mask- I recently recieved this product to review and my post will be up soon! 

Dr Lipp Nipple Balm for lips- I actually use this balm for my cuticles and it's slowly becoming a holy grail. I know this isn't classed as high end really, but I think £11.50 is expensive for a lip balm! 

Crabtree & Evenlyn La Sorce hand cream- this is a very thick hand cream! It's very emolient but doesn't leave a greasy film afterwards. It doesn't work as well as my Soap & Glory though. 

I hope these mini reviews helped! I do like my highend but I would never buy anything full price.

My Highend Makeup collection

Hey everyone! 

So I thought I'd come at you with a second blog post today! Recently I've been thinking about how much higher end makeup I actually own and without doing this post, I didn't think I owned too much. Until I took these photos. I don't think I find high end makeup any better than the drugstore and until my budget can allow me to buy more high end, I'll stick with getting a few treats here and there. 

Lipticks and lipglosses:

Mac Viva Glam Rihanna- bought on ebay, love the colour when blotted

Too Faced Melted Nude- one of my favourite liquid lipsticks

Nars Valkyrie- only worn once, very drying 

Ysl Tint-in-oil- beautiful gloss, just dries quickly

Stila Glosses in Pout and Gleam- sticky gloss but can be used quickly in project pans

Christian Dior Limited Edition Tie Dye lipstick in 01 nude- beautiful colour, perfect for work! 

Bases and Foundation:

Emite Diamond Primer Sample- brand new and never used

Bare Minerals Prime Time in oil control and original- original doesn't work with my oily skin, oil control hasn't been used much

Eborian CC Cream- white cream which changes to your skin colour. Too dark for me. 

Estée Lauder Double Wear- perfect for my oily skin, had this since March and I use it a lot. A little goes a long way! 

Too Faced Bb cream- I wear this on my days off as it has a slight coverage but just enough. Quite orange in colour. 

Mac MSF (mineral skin finish) in light- I recieved this in a beauty box and haven't put it down since.

Tarte Marakuja Cheek Cream in nude- new product, not tested out yet. 

Stila Convertable Colour- perfect coverage with a stippling brush! 

Christian Dior Limited edition Tie dye blush in peach- I love this colour but am so scared to make a dent in that beautiful top! 

Nars Dual Intensity Blush- recently bought but loving the pale peach for everyday with a sheen. 

Mac mineralised blush in Dainty- a total holy grail product! I recently tried to hit pan but am so glad I haven't managed it! 

Eye Products:

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara- another holy grail product! Seperates my lashes and gives volume! 

Eyeko Blue Mascara- used once, but I don't like the tube it's in. Makes it very messy. 

Clinique Mascara- love using this, but as it's a small sample, I don't use it often so I can keep having it in my collection. 

Stila Smudge Crayon in Antique- again a product I've used once and found that it was rather copper in tone. 

Stila sparkle waterproof liquid eye liners in Bora Bora and Royal- I've actually used these once and although they are very glittery, the colour sticks and stays! 

Stila Stay all day Waterproof liquid eyeliner in Indigo- I love these eyeliners. They really do stay all day and the colour is very vivid. 

Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliners in Black Amethyst, Tetra and Lionfish- again I don't have anything negative to say about these! They do stay in my water line all day! 

Stila Single eyeshadow in Pigalle- used once, but have to say they blend really well and although a dark shadow is not too dark. 

Eyeshadow Palettes:

Stila In the Moment Palette- beautiful shadows and combinations. Watch out for this palette next year! 

Smashbox Palette- used a few times, but holy pigmentation batman! Do they stain the skin. 

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette- as you can tell I love this palette to death. Currently the only palette I'm using. Very buttery and glide on well. 

The Balm Nude'tude palette- never used but swatched, lovely colours and a good all round colour scheme. 

Well that's everything highend I own and as you can tell from my mini reviews, I really need to use it! Next year I think I'm going to focus on using these and my next project pan I think will be a Stila themed as inspired by Glamour with Grace (on YouTube)'s all Mac project pan. I believe it would move out a good few products. If anyone is wondering most of this high end collection is bought at Tk Maxx reduced, especially Stila. 

I hope you enjoyed everyone! I may do a highend skincare post soon, would you enjoy that?

Project 10 Pan- Update 3

Hey everyone! 

I totally forgot that update 3 of my project 10 pan is due so I do apologise if this post seems a little rushed. I must admit, I've been focusing on my other projects so much that these items really have hit the back burner. From today though I will be focusing solely on these products for at least 2 weeks straight. I want some good progress. Expect a short post here everyone! 

So far I have used up:

Maybelline Baby Skin Primer

Revlon Nearly Naked Powder

Makeup Revolution Vivid Highlighter (hit pan) 

No7 Eyeshadow (hit pan) 

Revlon Lip butter in Strawberry Shortcake

Covergirl Lashblast Mascara 

Ysl Tint-in-oil lipgloss

As I've said in all my other updates, I don't plan to use this product up completely, just get some good use out of it. These last 2 weeks I have done so. I found myself grabbing for this lipgloss before running out the door before work, however I have found it comes off easily so maybe I could finish this with reapplying? 

Revlon Balm Stain in Honey 

Now that my lip butter has gone and my soap and glory gloss stick (in another project) has almost gone, I can focus on trying to finish up this balm stain as my go to lip product for work. I also have this product in my #useitup for 2015. However if I don't finish it by January I won't be upset as I'll just roll it over. I've already made so much progress on this product that I'm sure I can make a bigger dent. 

Marsk eyeshadow dust

I really don't know what I can say about this product apart from because it's such a dark pigment I actually can't wear it for work apart from setting my eyeliner which is coming up next. After this project I will be tossing this item. 

Isa Dora Kajal in Icy blue 

I really need to focus on using this eyeliner now as I really haven't given it much love or made any progress. I do feel I've made great progress on my eyeliner in the other project I'm doing so time to switch these two up. I will set this with the Marsk eyeshadow too to move both out. 

Maybelline Galatic Mauve Lipstick

I really don't know where I'm going with this product. It is also another lip product in my #useitup for 2015 however I do want to focus on the Revlon more. I find that this colour needs a lot applied to create a good colour so I maybe able to finish it off at another time. Sorry roll over product. 

As you can see because I didn't pay much attention to the products, nothing had made progress. So I really do need to focus on them and get a few more out of my collection.

#14by14Feb- update 1

Hey everyone! 

I can't believe it's already been a month and time for my first update of #14by14Feb. This seasonal project pan was started by Kristen K and GlamourwithGrace on YouTube as a way to use more products up in a certain amount of time. Now although I have not finished any items off yet, I do believe I have made some good progress. 

Clinique Eye Makeup Remover

I don't know if you can see my beginning line in this photo but I made a huge amount of progress this month! Of corse this is an item I've used everyday to take my eye makeup off and I do like the product, however after this project I won't be buying this again. Hopefully within the next month this product will be finished with everyday use. 

Simple Facial Toner

I haven't actually made a massive amount of progress on this product considering I also use this everyday. I have found that I only need this on one cotton pad to last my whole face and somedays I didn't even use it. I'm not sure if this will be done soon or not. 

Garnier Miricle Cream Moisturiser 

I have made a good amount of progress on this product also! I've found my skincare products do go quite quickly especially as I love skincare! However this product I don't like that much. It's a very emollient product and takes a while to set in. I tend to only use this at night and although you would think a thick product would be good, I have found that my skin sticks to my pillow! I've found myself using this less and less. 

InstaNatural Retinol Serum 

The last skincare product I promise! But yet another I have used a very good amount of. I only use one dropper full of product once a day and yet this much has gone. I did receive this product for review and I must admit if it wasn't so pricey (due to the fact it's all natural), I would purchase this when it finishes. 

Benefit Dandelion Blush (hit pan) 

Technically I've already hit my target on this product (top middle of the pan, at the side) however I'm enjoying this product so much that for the next few weeks I'm going to carry on using it with mixing it with other blushes in between. Dandelion gives a lovely flush to the cheeks without being too over powering. If you haven't got it yet, you need it. 

Natural Collection Loose Powder

Being the last loose powder in my collection, I didn't think I would be too quick to finish this product, however look at the progress! I was so shocked when doing my marks for this project. I tend to use this powder to set my foundation with a large fluffy Real Techniques brush (probably why more product has been used). It's currently not my favourite loose powder, however with acception of the Nars translucent crystal powder, I really don't see myself trying many more. 

Soap & Glory Sex Mother Pucker Gloss Stick 

This product will defiantly be gone by the end of next week. I currently use this gloss whilst at work as it gives a lovely pink colour to the lips but it is very subtle. I would say from the markings in my project book that I only have 3mm of one side of the product left. 

Benefit Ooh La Lift Sample 

I recently had to take the stopper out of this tiny product as not much was coming out onto the wand already! I use this everyday whilst my primer is setting on my under eyes and blended. I wouldn't say I've seen a difference with this or even that it makes my eyes look any brighter so it is not a product I will be buying once used up. 

So Susan Highlighting Pencil

Sorry for the shocking photo here! I have no idea what happened. I really haven't made much progress here as I only use it blended under my eyebrow and inner corners of my eyes. I think I've sharpened it twice and have made 0.5cm of progress. I have no idea how much I will have left come the end of this project. 

Makeup Revolution Pro Setting Spray 

I pretty much know this product will be gone in the next month. With setting my makeup in the morning and during my breaks at work, I have made a great deal of progress. If I can make the same amount of progress again, it will be in my empties soon. This is already my 3rd bottle, so you can tell my thoughts on it! 

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer

Wow does this product go far! I've use this concealer everyday on my under eyes and sometimes on acne (if I have any) and I don't see much progress from the side of the bottle. I have no idea how to mark this product so if you have any ideas let me know! I've also found that the clear patches in the packaging actually change with every use, so it could be different next update. 

Faint in Naked Basics Palette (hit pan) 

I'm in love with this colour in my eyebrows! I use an angled eyeshadow brush and only dip in 3 times for both eyebrows and yet I have made this much of a dent. I don't know if it's just this palette (as I have tried any other urban decay eyeshadows) but these do kick up a lot of product so maybe that's why I have a big dent. Does that happen to anyone else's naked basics? 

Unknown Pink Eyeshadow (finish completely) 

My last product was actually a W7 copper eyeshadow but after using it a few times, I found that the glitter in it would fall into my eyes during the day and I'm not enduring itchy eyes for a project pan. I threw that shadow away and substituted this light pink shadow. I recently hit pan on it as I've been using it on top of my shadow stick (in another project) for a work look. This product also kicks up a lot of product but with how little this shadow cost, I do not mind. 

As you can see, by next update I will have a few items done and will have crossed off the Benefit Dandelion blush too. I'm enjoying this project so much because I'm not forcing myself to use items and am having much more natural use and progress.
