Stila Project 10 pan- update 5

Hey everyone, 

I know I've not blogged much lately and that's only because I've been putting in hours at work. Rest assured though, I've been continuing my project panning and even starting to focus on my skincare and wax too. Although this post is not about them, this is time for update 5 of my Stila project. So far I'm doing really well and have got this last month to finish my last 4 items off. 

So far I have finished:

Stay all day eyeliner in Indigo 

Lip Glaze in Gleam 

Convertable Colour in Magnolia (hit pan) 

Desire eyeshadow (hit pan) 

Wonder eyeshadow (hit pan) 

Dune eyeshadow (hit pan) 

Colour corrector powder

Smudge Stick eyeliner in Lionfish

I honestly can't believe this eyeliner is still going after all this time. It really does show you how much product is in these items if you only use them once a day on your waterline. So far I have tried this smudged out on my upper lash line a few times and I think I may have to continue this this month to get it finished before the 1st April. 

Smudge Crayon in Antique 

I must admit, I honestly won't be finished with this product before the finish. After April 1st I will be packing this away and trying a few of my colour tattoos out before they go dry. I have made steady progress on this and all in all have used 1.5cm of product up using it daily. 

Lip Glaze in Orchard

Honestly, I really don't know whether to just throw this product into my empties and call it quits. I've not used this once since my last update (due to enjoying my next product too much!) and should just write it off as not my colour. What are your thoughts everyone? 

Lip Glaze in Precious Pink 

This is why my other Lip glaze has not been touched. I love this clear gloss. I'm currently wearing this as I type and although it's sticky like Orchard, I can deal with it for the colour. I also love this over my other projects lip products. This product will be gone within the next week. 

As you can tell, I'm beginning to like certain products more than others and whilst doing this project I have also found that buying Stila products just really isn't worth it. I'm glad I buy mine at my local Tk Maxx and not at full price.

Stila Project 10 Pan- Update 4

Hey everyone, 

Two weeks have passed already and I'm really unimpressed with my progress. Luckily once managed to finish another item up so I've decided to add another item in. 

So far I've finished:

Stay all day Liquid Liner in Indigo

Lip Glaze in Gleam 

Convertable colour in Magnolia (hit pan) 

Desire eyeshadow (hit pan) 

Wonder eyeshadow (hit pan) 

Dune eyeshadow (hit pan) 

Colour corrector powder

Smudge Stick eyeliner in Lionfish

As per every update, I have no way of knowing how much I have left in this product however I have been using it everyday on my lower lashline. Now that my liquid liner has finished, I'm going to start using this on my upper lashline smudged out with black eyeshadow from my Stila palette. 

Smudge Crayon in Antique 

I've been using this everyday I wear makeup however I have only made about 2mm of progress on my paper. I can't complain though, any progress is good progress. In total I have made 2cm worth of progress on this product in this project. I do want this to be finished soon as I have a lot of eye bases I want to use before the end of the year. 

Lip Glaze in Orchard

I must be entirely honest with this product and say I really don't enjoy it. I haven't even re-marked this product this month as so little was used. I've tried to use this on top of lipsticks, on it's own and even just on a Lipliner. It just looks wrong. Maybe if I could just force myself to use it up, it'll be gone soon.

Lip Glaze in Precious Pink 

Now I know what your thinking, why have you put in another lip glaze? Well this colour is just like the first one I managed to use up in my project. It's a light pink colour with micro glitter which looks great on top of product or on it's own. I am starting this off completely new I'm this project however I don't think it will be here long! 

I've still got a long way to go on this project however I am extremely happy with the progress I have made on my collection.

Stila Project 10 Pan- Update 1

ColoHey everyone, 

I'm writing today very tired after a short but tiring shift at work and later at night than I would usually. So I do apologise if I ramble a little, just ignore me. Today I thought it's about time to update you all on my One Brand project pan which is of corse, Stila. Now although I started this only 2 weeks ago, I already have some amazing progress and have come to realise that spending the money on this brand isn't always what it seems (more on that later). Now into where I am now. 

I have finished/used:

Lip glaze in Gleam 

Dune Eyeshadow (hit pan) 

Smudge Stick Eyeliner in Lionfish

As I'm sure I'm going to say in all my updates, I can't really show you the progress with this product as when you roll it up, it won't go back down. However you will have to believe me when I say I've rolled this up a few times already. I now use these smudge sticks on my top and bottom lash lines as I don't find them too harsh on my eyelids. I have used up one of these products before so let's see how long this one takes. 

Stay All day Liquid Liner in Indigo 

I will be completely honest here, I've used this once in these two weeks. I really don't know how to pair this dark colour on my lids. When I wore it that once I wore plain eyes with thin liner and mascara. My sister said it was nice, so maybe I'll wear that around work for a while. 

Smudge Crayon in Antique 

I can't believe I've never used this eye base before! The colour is a muted nude which pairs with just about anything. I've been wearing this colour everyday and have made 5mm of progress in 2 weeks. I think I'll manage this product no problem. However for the original price of these crayons, I wouldn't waste your money and get a Maybelline colour tattoo instead. 

Convertable Colour in Magnolia (hit pan)

I had to aim the product away in the photo so you could see the dent I've made in this product already. To use this on my cheeks I use a stippling brush and pat on the back of my hand before applying to the face. This takes any extra product off as a little goes a long way! I do like this but have no idea how long it will take me to hit pan. 

Use Desire and Wonder (hit pan on both)

Well, I'm not impressed with the size of these shadows. I have been using the colour Instinct for my inner corner highlight and collar bone highlight and I've already hit pan. I think Desire is a little more tightly packed in and will take a while to hit pan. However I do believe in a couple of days Wonder will be there already as there is a massive dip already. Again I wouldn't pay full price for the size of these shadows, but the formula is amazing. 

Lip glaze in Orchard

Another product I'm not really happy about. I managed to use up my lip glaze in Gleam in 8 days using it consistently. Luckily I didn't pay much for these lip glosses but I will not be repurchasing. I do find them a little sticky but when I can't reapply at work, I'm happy about the colour and gloss staying. I shouldn't have too much trouble finishing this up. 

Colour Corrector Powder 

As you can probably tell, this looks a little different from when you last saw it. It used to have a little grinder on it which meant not much product came out. So I took that off and what did I find? Hardly any product underneith. I have a heavy hand and I've already managed to hit pan on the side and the rings are about to show through in the middle. If I'm still a long way from my finish when this product finishes, I will add in the illuminating one and see how far I can get. Money not spent well. 

As you can see I'm getting some good use out of the items in this project however you also don't get much product for the price you pay for Stila. Something to consider when purchasing another item.

Project 10 Pan- Final Update

Hey everyone, 

I decided recently that it was time to finish my second Project 10 Pan and continue on with 2016's project pans. I found that this project took a while and that I only managed to finish 6 items. But anything is better than nothing! 

In this project, I finished:

Maybelline Baby Skin

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

I'm happy with the progress I made with this project and although I didn't plan to use this product up, I do believe I made some serious progress. When applying the product I do have to "double dip" the wand to get a full application so maybe next year this will be used up. 

Revlon Balm Stain in Honey

I knew this product would hang on until the very end. In the last month I used this product everyday and made some good progress. I managed to use up 1cm of product in this project and I plan to use this up in next years use it up challenge so expect to see it in project pans next year. I also want to finish this as a friend of my repurchased this for me for Christmas! 

Marsk eyeshadow dust 

In my last update I planned to throw this product out after my next update but since then I have been using it everyday to set my eyeliner and have made some serious progress! I managed to finish off half of this product during this project and believe that if I try to use it up again next year, it will be gone. 

Isa Dora Icy Blue Kajal eyeliner

This product was another that I knew would be hanging on up until the end. Considering I started this product half way through the project (due to another eyeliner in another project), I think 2.5cm worth of used up product is good! I loved this colour and set with the Marsk dust, it worked really well for the winter period. This time next year, I will pull this product out again and try use up more. 

As you can probably all guess by now (and will probably be posted on) I am writing this on Christmas Day! I don't have much time off at the moment and the next few days I have a few more updates and posts coming your way! So watch out for those and have a safe and merry Christmas!

Project 10 pan- Update 5

Hey everyone, 

I can't believe 2 weeks has gone already! I must admit I've barely used certain items in this project and that's mainly because I'm really bored of them. I'm considering ending this project soon, however I have only got just under a month to get as much finished as possible. 

So far I have finished:

Maybelline Baby Skin

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

I'll be totally honest here, I haven't used this product at all in the last two weeks but that's okay. My aim here wasn't to finish this product up but to use it more which I feel I have! 

Revlon Balm Stain in Honey

I'm really proud of how far I've used this product! As you can see the small amount I have left is getting smaller but I must tell you, you really don't need a lot of this product and it lasts forever! I'm going to carry on using this until the end of the project and if it hasn't gone then, I may get rid as it's rather old. 

Marsk Eyeshadow dust

I really don't have much of an update here for you all, however recently I did manage to hit pan while using it to set my next item! Again if this product isn't finished (and I doubt it will be) then I will be getting rid. 

Isa Dora Kajal Eyeliner in Icy Blue 

I'm very proud to say I've been using this product everyday and I've seen some very good progress. You can probably also tell I need to sharpen this product again too! As I said above, I set this product with my Marsk eyeshadow dust. 

Maybelline Galactic Mauve

I'll be totally honest, I haven't used this and am going to take it out of the project and out it back in my draws. Don't get me wrong, I still love the colour but am focusing on other projects. 

I'm sorry this post seemed like such a downer however I've decided I'm not going to post now until the 5th January which will be my final. Hopefully I'll have some good progress then!

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.

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.

Project 10 Pan- Update 2

Hey everyone! 

I'm actually a day late with this update but only due to the fact I've got myself a job! I currently work Sundays so updates will probably be on Mondays now or closest to the 2 week date. I've made a fair but of progress this month, however items are still hanging on for dear life! 

So far I have finished:

Maybelline Baby Skin Primer 

Revlon Nearly Naked Powder

No7 Eyeshadow (hit pan) 

Covergirl Lashblast Mascara 

YSL tint in oil lipgloss

As with all my other updates, I'm not trying to finish this beautiful product up, just get more use out of it. In the last 2 weeks I have used this a handfull of times, however I have found that it doesn't stay on my lips and due to the oil formula, it slips around and is gone in half an hour. I don't think I would ever repurchase one of these, however I do not want to see if gone from my collection. 

Makeup Revolution Vivid Highlighter (hit pan) 

I believe my target of hitting pan on this product may be a little far fetched. However can you see that the original marks are disappearing? I've loved putting this highlight on my cheeks, nose and Cupid's bow. I've also used this as a inner corner highlight a few times too. I do think that I won't hit pan in this project during the 3 months, however any use is good use! 

Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake 

I must admit, I've been solely focusing on this lip product during these 4 weeks of this project which is why the other lip products don't have much progress. However I do believe (even though I expected this to be long gone by now) this product won't be in the project too much longer. It is highly pigmented so only one swipe is needed hence why it is still here. In the picture the product is rolled up the entire way, so not much left now. 

Revlon Balm Stain in Honey 

I don't have much to say on this product especially as I haven't used it at all in these last 2 weeks. I would like my Lip butter to be gone before I start making more progress on this item. I have a few suspicions that this product will still be here come 3 months is over. 

Marsk Mineral Eyeshadow dust

Another product which hasn't really had much love from me yet due to the fact that it just really isn't my colour and is way too pigmented for myself. As you can see by the photo there are a few dents in the product and that is because it is currently working to set my eyeliner for my #9bymewyears project. I will not have this product finished by 5th Janruary. 

Isa Dora Kajal Eyeliner in Icy Blue 

Another product which I have not used at all. I'm currently waiting for my Stila eyeliner (#9bynewyears) to finish up before starting to use this one. However if I feel come December that the other eyeliner is not going to be done, I will start to alternate between the Stila and this one. I set both with my Marsk eyeshadow. 

Maybelline Lipstick in Galactic Mauve 

I am really bad at using this lipstick. It has been in two projects so far and I just can not bring myself to use it. I'm hoping come winter I will pull this out of my pot more especially because you need to use a few swipes to get good full colour. I also think this lip colour is appropriate at work. 

As you can see I really need to get a move on and start to use all my items from my lip pot. I hope that the Revlon Lip butter will be gone soon so I can start to make more progress on the others. Here's to the next update!

Project 10 Pan- Update 1

Hey everyone, 

I can't believe 2 weeks has past since I started this project and although I haven't managed to finish or hit goals on anything yet, i am excited with my progress! 

I apologise for the dark photos, this was taken in the day however it is very very gloomy in Oxfordshire at the moment! 

Maybelline Baby Skin

I do expect this product to be gone very early on in the project, however I am using it in conjunction with another primer at the moment. I have used this product up 2 times before so I know this will definitely be loved! It's perfect for oily skin people and keeps your makeup on for a good 6-8 hours. 

YSL Tint-in-oil Lipgloss

I really have no idea how much I have used of this product but I do know it isn't much. I have been really sparse on how much I use this and focusing on using other products up first. I really don't want one of my only high end lip products going from my collection. 

Revlon Nearly Naked Powder

This is one of the products I've really done well on! Considering I had only hit pan on the centre 2 weeks ago, everyday use has allowed me to only have a small corner left. This means after drawing out my lines, I am going to have to re-press to allow for more application. This product should be done by next update. 

Revolution Vivid Highlighter (hit pan) 

I am actually surprised with how much progress I have made with this product. I did not expect by 2 weeks to see the design from the top rubbing down already. This is everyday use with a fluffy brush. 

No7 eyeshadow (hit pan) 

I can quite honestly say I didn't expect this progress either. I decided after numerous amount of swatching with other colours, that I am setting my eyeliner in my #9bynewyears to hit pan. The huge dent in the middle is how far I have come with everyday use. I also expect this product to have hit target by next update. 

Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake

This is the current lip product I am focusing on and so far I have made just under a cm worth of progress which is almost half! I plan to use this everyday until it is gone. 

Revlon Balm Stain in Honey

In the introduction I didn't realise how many Revlon products were actually in this project. At this current time I am focusing on using up the lip butter so this product got very little use from myself. This product is also in my use it up for 2015 but if not finished it will roll over to next year. 

Marsk eyeshadow dust

I can't really say much about this product except that I have used it a couple of times and found the stopper was letting to little of the product out. I decided to take it out and have used it a few more times (dusting it off after picking up product) for a smokey look. This will probably get used more in the winter months. 

Isa Dora Kajal in Icey Blue

Again this is a product I haven't really been focusing on as I've been using up an eyeliner in my #9bynewyears. I did find out though that this colour paired with my pan that palette dark eyeshadows on top allows for winter wear too! This will be my next go to when my other eyeliner is finished. 

ROLLOVER PRODUCT-Maybelline Galactic Mauve Lipstick

I have found myself reaching for this lipstick more and more between uses of my Lip butter. I do have to use a few coats to cover my pigmented lips which is why I have made half a cm worth progress. Again this is another product in my use it up for 2015 and will be focused on after the lip butter has gone. 

By next update I expect my powder, lip butter and my no7 eyeshadow to be gone and good progress to be made on the others. I have an open mind about this project.
