#13byHalloween Update 1

Hey everyone! 

So I'm a little late with this update but I come at you with very good progress! I have finished a total of 9 items already (don't worry I'm adding items in as I go along!) and have good progress on the others. 

This is all I have left! One item here is a bonus item too!

 I've finished up:

Maybelline Matte Maker Poweder

So? Kiss me Perfume

Monu Spa Rosewood Reviving Mist

Essence Lash Princess Mascara

Maybelline Baby Skin Primer

Balance Me Body Polish Sample 

Yardley Body Lotion

Nivea Cleansing Cream Wash

Kueshi Anti-Cellulite Booster

So Susan Blush in Pink

You may not be able to tell from the photo but there is a significant dip in this blush as I have been wearing it everyday as it's perfect for spring/summer. These cream products can also be worn on the lips however with my other projects going on, I do not need to do that. 

Rimmel BB Cream Matte

I really need to use this product more! So far I've used this on days where I know my makeup does not need to be on long as it does not wear well on my oily skin. However I do like how it looks and when I use it now, it makes that horrible fart sound, so I'm closing to finishing. I'm hoping to take this on holiday with me this month. 

Origins Clear Improvement Mask

Again another product which needs more love over my sheet masks! You can see from the photo here I have made a dent in the product and light is peeking through, however I think we have a fair way with this! 

Colour Corture Eyeliner

I had actually lost this eyeliner for a week or so, so some progress has been made but not as much as I would like. I use this everyday in my waterline and set with my project pan that palette eyeshadows. I did make 1.5cm worth of progress on this (I'm marking on paper in my notebook) and if I can continue to do so, one more eyeliner will be gone! 

BONUS- BC Bronzing Powder

I've decided to add in this powder and finish it up during the summer months as one, I've already used a lot of products up! And two, its already repressed and showing more pan! Time to get this bad boy gone! 

Thank you for reading and hopefully more progress to show next month!

Project Polish 2015

Hey everyone! 

After watching a few videos by PrettyPistol86 on YouTube, I decided to start a project polish for 2015. I started this project almost 2 months ago now but forgot to blog about it! So starting today I'm going to show you my starting point and 1 month update. My 2 month update goes up this next week. For anyone who doesn't know project polish is a year long project pan I'm which you start with a certain amount of nail polishes you would like to finish by the end of the year. Now it is up to the panner themselves if when they finish a polish if they would like to add in more and if you all saw my collection, you'd agree I need to do this. For my first five polishes I chose:

- Sally Hansen Diamond Shine Top Coat

- Bourjois 1 Second Polish in 2

- 17 Lasting Finish in Glisten

- Barry M Paint in Blue Glitter

- Ciate Polish in Members Only 

As with any project pans, I have drawn a line where I started on the product. This is where I was at the 1 month update.

Unfortunately with this update there was little progress. I found myself using the Bourjois and 17 polishes more than the others (excluding my top coat, used every time). So for the month after this one I decided to paint my nails every other day (which in my job has to be done anyways due to chipping). 

Update 2 will be up by Friday 29th! Can't wait to show you my progress!

#12emptiesofChristmas Intro

YHey everyone! 

Today I decided to try this almost year long project pan including 12 items. The idea was started by @jencoempties on Instagram, who decided that it would be good to push the old items out of her stash by using up 12 items by Chrismas. Seen as I'm now only doing #4x4 and project polish, I thought I'd give it a whirl. These are the 12 items I decided to use up.

1) Soap & Glory Righteous Body Butter- Full

2) Superdrug Vitamin E Hot Cloth Cleanser- Half Full

3) Kueshi Pure & Clean Facial Toner- 1/3 left

4) NaoBay Moisturizing Peeling Facial Scrub- Full

5) Origins Out Of Trouble Face Mask- Full

6) Morgan Sweetpea Shower Gel- Full

7) Nivea Daily Essentials Night Cream- 2/3 Full

8) Ted Baker Bath Foam- Full Sample Size

9) Bourjois Colour Boost Lipstick- Full 

10) Maybelline Colour Tattoo in 05 Eternal Gold- Full Never used

11) Seventeen StayTime Long Wear Primer- half full 

12) Benefit Highbeam Sample- half full

I don't suppose I will finish up the colour tattoo, origins face mask or maybe even the lipstick. However even if I only make a good amount of progress on these items I am happy. This project also allows me to have fun with my makeup through-out the rest of the year as the items in this project are mostly skincare and base products. I hope you'll join me and continue to read my progress every month on the 12th.

March Project Pan- Update 3 (short & sweet)

Hey everyone! 

As my post title suggests this weeks project pan update will be a short and sweet one. Why? Because I've used up nearly all my items! I currently only have 2 products left to use up and I'll be honest, when I started this month I knew these two would be the last to go! If you haven't already you can probably guess which two are hanging in there! 

Miss Sporty Liquid Concealer- This concealer just keeps going and going. However half way through the week I noticed nothing else was coming out of the bottle and when I looked down it all the was left was the sides and a little at the bottom. You know what that means! Remover stopper time. So off it came this morning and hopefully this will allow me to use it up a little longer. I do think this is wayyyy past it's use by date though so you may be seeing this in my empties post soon!

Stilla lip gloss in Glamour- I still really really hate this gloss. I've found that if I twist it once it gives out just the right amount of product for a stain and I really like that look, however I really am forcing myself to use it and after this last week is over, I will be throwing this one out if not a lot of progress has been made. I'm sure I can use that last little bit up! 

These beautiful items here are all my current emptier for this months project pan. After choosing products which I know I could use up this month, I've found that I enjoyed seeing pan and empty bottles more even if they were not in my project pan. Next month I will not be having a monthly project pan but taking up a seasonal challenge started by Amber (known as AmberF on YouTube) called 4x4 (finish 4 by 4th July). I've already chosen my products and all four are makeup. If I can finish all of them and seen as the 3rd July is my birthday- I will allow myself to purchase one "High end" makeup OR beauty buy! The opening post about that should be up 30th April (or round a bouts!)

Thank you for reading!

Making Myself Accountable

Hey everyone
Welcome to my ProjectPanning world. I've decided that as I now know how to
project pan and have acquired a decent amount of makeup, that I should
start project panning more frequently. Today I decided to start off my new
blog with a makeup collection! Here are my current amounts of certain
items. I don't have an ideal target as I enjoy makeup, I just want to use
what I have. During my project pan i will be having certain months where I
am on a low buy and certain months where I enjoy my money! Here is an over
view of my collection so far.

It may seem small to most of you out there and it isn't anything compare to youtubers I watch, but I am starting to get a habit of buying too much! To get myself accountable, I've started this blog. Here's the numbers! 

3 foundations/bb creams- one sample

3 concealers

3 primers

4 powders

4 mascaras and 1 brow pencil

10 eyeliners (gel and pencil) 

6 eyeshadow singles (pigments too)

8 eyeshadow bases

6 eyeshadow pallets 

9 lip balms and 4 lip glosses

5 chubby pencils 

7 lipsticks and 2 liquid lipsticks 

7 blushes and 2 highlighters 

18 Samples 

Theses are not scary numbers- however I don't want them getting any bigger. Through out the next week I plan to update you on my spend plan, current project pans and the last few hauls that came through (no more now though!). I hope you've all enjoyed my first post!
