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.

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?
