Sorry for my absence lately on my blog. I've been away on placement and been super busy planning my mum's birthday and writing lesson plans. Today I am back with my second update for my project pan. The months seem to be flying by!
This project is really pushing me to make use of my makeup. It is exciting to check in and see progress, it really helps to motivate you to continue.
Before getting into all my progress I will let you all know that I won't be switching anything out this time around. When I started this I had the expectation in my head that every month I would use something up or hit a goal and be able to involve new products. That is definitely not the case and doing this has taught me how long it actually takes to use products up.
Eye Shadow - Bh x Carli Bybel (original)
I think eyeshadow is an area of strength for me. Since I am such a creature of habit and always reach for the same shades on a daily basis it is easy for me to make progress. Within one month I even hit (baby) pan on one shade (matte brown)! My goal was to hit pan on three shades so only two more to go.
I find the bh shadows to be on the powdery side but very easy to blend. The shimmery shades, in terms of pigmentation can fade throughout the day but the mattes are quite good. I am enjoying this palette and am glad I included it. By next month I hope to hit pan on the matte cream shade.
Bronzer/Highlighter - Urban Decay Naked Flushed
I ended up repressing the bronzer so the photo in this update will look different. I am making steady progress with the bronzer and have used up quite a bit of the highlight! I won't have an issue finishing this off.
Brows - Chi Chi Brow Pomade (blonde)
I feel like this product will never show product but I am starting to made a dent on one edge. I will definitely never buy another brow pomade in my life because one tub lasts forever haha.
Blush - Nudestix Bare Back
I didn't use this much this past month because my cheeks broke out pretty badly. I wanted to let them breathe as much as possible and when I was wearing makeup I wanted to apply as minimal product as possible. You'll see the very little progress I made better down below.
Foundation
For this category, the only "foundation" I used up was a sample size of Adorn's cream foundation. It is better than nothing. I am also making good progress with my mineral powder foundations as they're what I'm reaching for lately.
Lips
Colourpop Oh Snap
I'm surprised I actually made visible progress with this lippie stix this time around. I barely reached for it purely because my all time favourite lipstick was added to the project. I'll continue to use this until it is empty or I'm absolutely sick of it.
3ina Lip Oil
I did draw a line on this a month ago but because it is an oily product it kept rubbing off. I was roughly at the bottom on the 3ina logo when I included this so I am making good progress. This lip oil is a pretty easy product to pan because I apply it multiple times a day. If I put my mind to it I could finish it by the next update but I am spacing out using it so I also use my other lipstick.
Gerard Cosmetics Vintage Rose
My absolute favourite lipstick! I'm really happy with the progress I've made and it is the lip product I reach for most. I think I want to focus on this so it can get out of my project sooner and I use other lip products too. But I am loving having this in my project.
Here are my updates for stick products:
