I
am a makeup hoarder and I experiment with a lot of products. Parallelly, i do
try to finish up my products. Skincare is easy to get done with as I use them
regularly without fail. However, I don’t wear makeup every day and that makes
it quite difficult to finish makeup products. I see Project Pan photos all the
time on Instagram and it feels like it is a great motivation in producing more
empties. I personally feel very hesitant to commit to any hard-and-fast
challenge/project! There is a first time for everything though and I think I am
going to act brave and participate in “Finish 17 by 2017”
Project Pan. I don’t even
know if it is a real thing and I may have misunderstood it to be “Finish 17 in 2017”. But basically, I am
going to do my best in using up 17 products from my collection during 2017. I
am not sure if I will have intermediate updates but I will definitely have final
update in the month of December, 2017. You know, if life still treats
me nicely :-)
I
buy a lot of value sets and most often I end up having a lot of travel size or
deluxe size products. I think I have 6 full-size products here and rest
are mostly travel size. I am sure that it is accepted for the project, ha ha!
Also, I am counting 2 deluxe-size products that are similar as one for the
challenge! I think it will give me more room to be flexible and use them in
rotation without getting bored. Here is to hoping! Let’s check out the products
here -
Palladio
Herbal Foundation Primer:
It is the first ever primer I tried and I am almost halfway through it. I do
like it and enjoy it. I am not sure if I will repurchase but I really like how
it works with my dry skin to give me a better surface to apply my foundation.
Fingers crossed, I should be able to finish it!
Becca
Backlight Priming Filter: I really ENJOY this. It is a great glowing type of
primer and I have made quite a progress on it. I am hoping I can finish it and
if I do, I can replace it with the other same-size tube I have.
Revlon
Colorstay Foundation
in “True
Beige”: This is the first liquid foundation I bought and I was happy
that I picked up the right shade in my first trial. It is very difficult to
guess how much I have already used but I am assuming I have about 1/3rd
left. I have 2-3 other foundations now so I am not sure how often I am going to
use it but I will try.
IT
Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC cream in “Tan”: I did not really enjoy it the
first two trials but I have been using it last 2-3 days and I do like it. I
guess the shade and the formula suits me better in these colder days. There is
not much product here so I am combining this as one item with my Revlon
Foundation.
Urban
Decay Naked Skin Concealer
in: This is ONLY concealer in my collection now and I don’t feel any need for
trying out a different one. I am sure I am going to repurchase. It’s almost
gone and I am excited to see if I can really use it all up!
Stila
Stay All Day 10-in-1 HD Bronzing Beauty Balm: It is a deluxe sample I got in a
set last year and I do use it quite regularly. I mix with my foundation to
alter the shade or to use it on the perimeter of the face. I do really like it.
it is such a small tube but I just can’t seem to make any recognizable progress
on this. Let’s see how it behaves in 2017.
Tarte
Contouring Face Slender
in “Park
Avenue Princess”: It is a small product, and I use it quite often as a face
slenderizer with a bit of bronzing effect. I do like it but not a huge fan and
I don’t see myself repurchasing. I am not 100% sure that I will be able to
finish it but I will try.
Urban
Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray: I am not very regular about using setting spray. I
have dry skin and in the colder climate here I don’t really feel the need to
wear any setting spray. I still do think I can use it up if I put in an effort.
It’s not a big bottle.
Lorac
Travel-size TANtalizer Highlighter & Bronzer Duo: I am only including the bronzer
in this project. It’s very warm, pigmented and blendable. I love it and have
hit pan already. I am looking forward to using it up!
Too
Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer in
“Medium/Deep”:
I used the hell out of it in the first half of the year. I love that it is
matte. There is not much left here but I am getting a bit bored with it so we
shall see if I get around to using it enough to finish it up.
Josie
Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelee in “Pink Escape”: Another product that I
am using very less these days. Depending on the condition of the health of my
cheek area, I tend to have a love-hate relationship with this blush. But I have
already hit pan on it and it will be very rewarding to finish it up. I mostly
use it as a base layer over my other less pigmented blushes to layer.
MAC
Paint Point in
“Layin’
Low”: This is actually one of the few product from this set that I use
almost every time I wear eyeshadow. I absolutely love it. I have shared this
with my sister, so I have to give her credit for about 20% of the usage you
see. But that apart I am extremely hopeful that this will be completely used
up! And I can surely assume I will repurchase when I do finish up.
Tarte EmphaseEYES
Amazonian Clay Waterproof Liner
in “Bronze”:
This is one of my very favorite product from my entire collection. I use it as
a one-and-done shade but never as a liner. I love the shade, and I love how
simple and easy it is and how long it lasts on me. I used it very, very
regularly since I had it but I have not been really grabbing it past couple of
months. I thought putting this in the challenge will help me get back that in
my rotation. I don’t think I am going to finish as there is still a lot of
product left in it. But I will still love to see a progress on this. I am not
sure if this formula is discontinued.
Lakme Eyeliner Kajol in “20 Midnight Black”:
Without doubt it is the most frustrating product from this bunch. I have been
trying very hard to use it as much as I can but I just don’t see any progress.
It is a product from India and it reminds me of my teenage years because it was
one of the products that I used it wear all the time. Old is gold, you know :-) If I am not able to finish it I will
have to trash it!
Anastasia
Beverly Hills Brow Wiz
in “Medium
Brown”: I have been using it for quite some time. But I don’t use it
every day, so it takes me a long time to use it up. But it looks like there is
very little left. I am very sure that I will easily finish it :-)
Urban Decay Revolution
Lipstick in “Rupture”:
I got this mini deluxe size in some kind of Gift with Purchase from either
Sephora or Ulta. This formula has now been discontinued. I really love the
formula and the shade is extremely wearable for a simple work day. It was a
tiny sample to begin with but there is very little left. I am pretty sure it
will be completely used up during the first 2-3 months of 2017. But I am still
keeping it in my challenge just so it can serve as an encouragement for me!
Smashbox
Be Legendary Lipgloss
in “Pout”:
It is one of the very few lip-glosses that I regularly use and it is a full-size
product. I love the formula. However, I am not going to be overambitious and
say that I will finish it completely but a girl can definitely try, right?
Essie
Apricot Cuticle Oil:
I have started using this since late last year or was it early Spring this year;
I don’t exactly remember. I have no idea if it is helping my cuticle health but
I do feel its absence when I don’t use it. My toe-nails sometimes start to pain
especially around the cuticles area. Especially if I am walking a lot or if
it’s too cold! I apply this once or twice a day and it takes away the pain. I
think I will go through it fairly easily :-)
Victoria’s
Secrets Eau de Parfum
in “Noir
Tease” & “Angel”: These two are completely
full. I bought this in a set when I just started getting crazy about beauty
blogging :-) My choice of perfumes
has definitely matured. But I will try to finish these. I typically wear these
when I am at home or when I have very short activity like simple grocery
shopping. I still use my regular perfumes so these will be actually secondary
perfumes.
These
are all my products that I am trying to pan next year and I am hoping I am successful
in the very first Project Pan. Please wish me luck guys! Also, join me! Even if
you just a few products you are trying to pan, do share with me :-)
Love,
~Arrru
