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!

Hey everyone, 

So I thought it was time to update you all on 2015's project use it up and start 2016's already! If you have been following me on Instagram (@Piperbeauty), I've been doing monthly updates on what I would like to use up in that month and then updates on here through-out the year. So far I only have these few to go:

Soap and Glory Butter Yourself Body Butter- using

Revlon Balm Stain in Honey- using (almost gone)

Maybelline Galatic Mauve- barely used

I want to make a big dent in my collection next year so these are the items you can expect to see in my projects and monthly use it up's. 

Some of these items I am already using as I have nothing else. I will state that next to the item itself. 

Skincare and Bodycare:

Dr Organic Dead Sea Mineral Mask

Soap and Glory Whipped Clean- using as shave cream 

Maria Nila hair masque- using 

Face products:

Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation- almost gone, using

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.

#14by14Feb- Intro

Hey everyone, 

Yes you must be thinking exactly what my parents and boyfriend think! Your taking on another project?! But this will mean three projects! I'm totally up for that challenge. I've been thinking about starting this project as soon as I saw @Glamourwithgrace and @KristenKay do their intro videos on YouTube. They came up with a seasonal project pan running just over 4 months called finish 14 by 14th February (to show their love for project pan). The idea being to use up some more older products in your collection and as I'm rotating quite well with my other projects at the moment, I just decided to use up or hit pan on some more full products. 

I actually had a different item in here last night when I posted on Instagram that I was going to start, however this morning I actually finished it! I didn't believe I was so close to finishing as it was an opaque tube. That item has now been subbed in with something else. Onto the items. 

Clinique Rinse Off Eye Makeup Solvent

Luckily I managed to buy this recently at a TK Maxx (so discounted price) and not the full price but I really want time to test it out. It is still relatively full (as you can see by the marking) so I can make a good dent and finish this one off by February. 

Simple Soothing Facial Toner

I've had this product for quite a while and started using it before an item came in a Glossybox that I wanted to use first. That product has now gone and although I like this product, I do find it drying on my skin. I want to have this product gone easily by next year. 

Garnier Miricle Sleeping Cream 

I recieved this in a Latest in beauty box recently and have been using it every night. I don't find it to have much benifit in my skincare routine so just want to move this product out. As you can see by the photo it already has a good dent. I also have no way of knowing how much is in this pot, so updates will just be photos like this. 

InstaNatural Retinol Serum 

If your an avid follower of my blog, you will recognise this product and know I already love it. I've made a good dent in this applying it every night, however knowing that it is a more natural product does mean it will go off quicker. I want to have some good use out of this before it goes off and what a better way than putting it in this project. 

Benefit Dandelion Blush- deluxe sample size- hit pan.

I've actually not had much luck putting blushes in projects like this but dandelion has been a recent go to blush for me and I'm already seeing a dent in the writing. I only want to hit pan on this blush, however if I manage that quite early on, I will carry on panning until the project is finished. 

W7 eyeshadow in Rose Gold- hit pan

This is a product which I must have had for a good 3 years or so now. I'm starting to see a little hard pan on it (I used to use my fingers instead of brushes) and I've decided it's time to use this up. My pan that palette is starting to have little colours in it now so others are needing to be subbed in. I decided in this project that I want to hit pan on this eyeshadow however if more is done, then I am happy! 

Natural Collection face powder

Some of you may be thinking why have you added in another face powder when you have one in another project? Well I have actually just finished that Revlon powder today! So this one is the last powder (loose or pressed) in my collection! I've decided to take the sifter out of this so it is easier to use with my Real Techniques face brush and more product is used that way. 

Soap and Glory Gloss Stick in Pink-a-boo 

I have recently finished another one of these gloss sticks in my #9bynewyears and loved the formulation and easy application. They don't come with much product so are an easy gimme product in a project like this. I got these from a friend on Instagram and I know she'd love to see me use them! 

Benefit Ooh La Lift deluxe sample size

I've had this in my collection now since my Italian holiday and I've never know how to use it. I recently read up that you can use it before or after foundation under the eyes for a brightener so that is how I will use it. I might need a brightening up in the winter months. I have used a benefit deluxe sample size up in a project before but I do know they take a long time, so we will see! 

So Susan Highlighting Pencil 

So as many of you may have seen I only recently recieved this in my Glossybox for October however I already know I love it and will use it everyday. I've been using it non-stop since recieving it so progress will be easy! I only use it in my corners of my eyes and under my brow bone as a highlight but progress is progress! 

Manna Kadar conditioning lash primer

Another product I have recieved in a Glossybox but use on the daily. I don't find much difference between having this on and not when using mascara but to have it in a project will make me continue to use it until it dries up or I finish it. It has a white milky colour and has no scent, a lovely bonus! 

Makeup Revolution Pro Setting Spray

I have only just recently purchased this and yes it was a repurchase. I love having this and knowing that my foundation will not move using this. As you can see I have only sprayed this a few times but I know progress will be made. 

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer

You can't tell much from this photo, but this product is actually almost done. I've been using it for a while and although the colour isn't an exact match, I do like it for under my eyes. The writing on the packaging has all come off so you can tell this a well loved product. As for when the stopper comes out, I have no idea. It's still hanging on strong. 

Hit pan on Faint (Naked Basics Palette) 

This is the product which replaced my No7 Concealer originally in this project. I've been using faint in my brows for a week or so now and I love it. I already have quite a big dip and can see there will be considerable progress soon. I am also using this palette in my pan that palette challenge as the main palette has only 3 shadows left! Major progress has already happened on Foxy (which I hope to finish before 2016) and there are good dips in others. 

For the So Susan Highlighting pencil and the Soap and Glory Gloss Stick I have marked in my book how much I am starting at and can continue to mark with every update. I plan to update once a month on or around the 14th so you guys have a few different updates during the beginning of the month with projects. I can't wait to start a third project!

Project 10 Pan- Finale!

Hey everyone! 

I know what your thinking. How can you have finished those 4 items off already!? Truth is I haven't. I'm down to the last two with only one goal left to hit. So all day today I've been thinking about wether I would like to carry on with these two full products until November 2nd OR start a new project pan and roll over 1 product. Well I've decided to roll over one product and start a fresh! I've made so much progress in my collection including the following have gone:

Buxom Ampliffied Lash Mascara

Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation

Etre Belle Lifting Peel

Rimmel Glam Eyes in Precious Rose (hit pan) 

You Butter Believe it Body Butter

Rimmel Wake me up Concealer 

Rimmel Kate lipstick in 08

NYC Smooth Skin 

Rimmel Exaggerate Lipliner in Eastend Snob

These are the two products I have left. I made a little progress on both.

Mac Mineralise Blush in Dainty (hit pan)

This is a goal that really isn't going to happen in a very long time! When looking at the product you can see a small dip in the right side however when looking at it from side on, it is completely flat! I've managed to make a good dent, but I do not think pan is in the near future. I do want to keep using this product however It will not be in my project pans for a while. 

Maybelline Galactic Mauve Lipstick

This is going to be my roll over product. In the 2 weeks I have been using this product I have made a good 3mm in progress (I always measure on my notebook) and this is keeping me going knowing I can finish it up. I have found with this lipstick that it does need a few coats for the colour to be bolder (I have a dark lip colour) and this is how I think I will manage to use this colour up. 

As you can see from the photos it really was a do I keep going or not moment. I'm proud of how much progress I made in this project which is why I wanted to start round 2. Round 2 will be posted tomorrow with how I selected products and where I am starting at.

Project 10 Pan- 8 week update!

Hey everyone, 

I'm so shocked that 8 weeks has gone since starting this project! However I am seriously happy with the amount of product I've been going through. You'll see a little change in this update but it's something I think is more manageable. 

I have used up:

Buxom Amplified lash Mascara

Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation

Rimmel Glam Eyes in Precious Rose (hit pan) 

You Butter Believe it Body butter

Rimmel Wake me up Concealer

Rimmel Kate Lipstick in 08

Rimmel exaggerate lip liner in Eastend Snob

I currently only have 3 left to finish or hit pan on before I can end this project or finish it by 2nd November so I have some time. Here is my progress on my other items. 

Mac Dainty Blush

Honestly everyone, I can't see any progress here. The dips are exactly the same and from seeing Instagram photos of people's progress on this blush, It may not be done by the end. However I maybe shocked! 

Etre Belle Lifting Peel

I took the photo from this angle because although from the front we still have no progress, turn it on its side and the tube is flat! I can see light through this now and I hope we won't be long until this is finished. I can see that my final items finished will be this and my NYC powder! 

Collection Bronze Glow Mosaic Powder

Although I have decided to swap this for another product, I thought I would update you. After wearing this through the summer months (with a tan), this product does not suit me during this time of the year. It does have a lot of shimmer (which my dainty blush also has) so it is a no go for fall makeup. Here is my progress before it went into my collection again. 

Maybelline Galactic Mauve Lipstick

This is the product I am swapping out my bronzer for. I already enjoy using this product in the fall and it is also in my use it up for this year so why not add it in. I already had some progress on it (there is a line on the cap) however I will also track this in my book. 

NYC Smooth Skin Powder

This product is the one with the most progress so far this update. I use this everyday and although from the side I have no progress, if you look in I've already hit pan many times. I think with constant use this product maybe the next to be finished. 

I think for my next update I would like to have either my lip peel or the NYC powder finished. I have no idea how long it will take me to finish the other two so I may not have them done by November!

New project! #9bynewyears Intro

Hey everyone,

Recently on Instagram I posted my entire makeup collection and the numbers have scared me into doing a no buy for this month. This also resulted in another project! I've decided to join in with the #9bynewyears giving me a good few months to get into some full size products and finish some more makeup off. 

The following products I plan to finish off by New Year's Eve. I will be updating every 9th of the month and then the final will be on New Year's Eve. 

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

I've actually put this in my useitup for 2016 but have been using it recently so why not use it up before? Ever since my holiday I've been using this and I've made this much progress. Time to get it finished. 

Elf smudge pot in Gotta Glow

Again this is another item in next years use it up, however with my current pan that palette eyeshadows this is a better base that my colour tattoos. However I have decided I now know why I put this back in my collection. The product itself is way to creamy and gets all over my bottom lashes when applied to my eyelid. I need this gone from my collection. 

Monu Spa Reviving Mist

This product I bought and started using before my holiday and I used to like it. However now my skin is changing a little from summer, I've found my makeup doesn't last with it. I only have a little left (from the second mark on the bottle) so hopefully this will be gone soon. I spray it every time I put on powder foundation. 

Sally Hansen Lip Gloss

This product has been in my #projectlip on Instagram since I started and I really want it gone so I can start on my more fall colours. I took this photo just as the product was pooling, so hopefully I am right around where it is. With constant use I can get this gone soon. 

Maybelline Baby lips in Melon Mania

I love Maybelline products and this is no different. This baby lips has been in my collection for just under 2 (maybe 3) weeks and I've already made major progress. For this product and a few others, I have marked in my book the progress I have made. 

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lip liner in Clear

After the use of my other Rimmel lip liner, I've seen I can use a lip liner pretty quickly and this is my oldest one. It is clear so I can use it under and product I decide to use and hopefully it will go down quickly. Again this is a product marked in my book. 

Foxy from the Naked Basics Palette

For some reason I doubt I will be able to pan this product before New Year's Eve but I do use it everyday as a concealer setting product. I do have quite a big dip in it and use a brush to apply. If I don't hit pan on it, I will not be bothered as I do like it. 

Stila Smudge Stick Eyeliner in Black Amethyst

I'm afraid this is a product I can't show you the progress on as if I turn it up, it won't go back down but I have tested this product before and it sits lovely on my waterline. My eyeliner in my #13byhalloween is almost finished (about 2 days left) so I will be moving on to this one after that. 

Colour Couture eye shadow dust in White

I got this product at Christmas last year in a kit from my boyfriend and have been testing it as an inner corner highlight for quite sometime. Today I also tested it out layered over my Elf Smudge pot and it makes the gold a gorgeous colour. I doubt I will manage to use this all up but I will give it a good go!

Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in Nudest

I recieved this gloss stick in a recent swap from my friend on Instagram and I love it! So much so that once my main gloss is finished I want to have the chance to use it. It's a beautiful nude colour and sits well on the lips. 

Hopefully I will make some good progress on items this month especially with my no buy, however if some don't get used then I will not be worried. Wish me luck with this project!
