PROJECT PAN: Pan 18 in 2018 UPDATE # 6

Hello interweb friends!

Another month, another update. I felt like November went on longer than the previous months. As you will see in this update, I made a significant progress with several of the items. This is also the month when I finally accepted that I won't be able to finish up most of the products included in my project pan.

I am definitely gonna continue panning next year. Even though I have to admit, there were times when I just wanted to quit, the feeling of satisfaction in finishing a product completely is totally worth it. I feel like I have learned a lot from my first year of panning that I am optimistic that I will do better next year.

Anyway, enough intro and let's jump right into the updates:

1. Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream

Now that it's Summer here (I live down under), I have been able to use this as my everyday go-to base/sunscreen. 1 pump of this is enough for me since it has an ashy-grey tone to it. I used to like this for its coverage and sun protection but I discovered other BB creams that I like better than this.

2. Make Up Forever Pro Finish Multi-Use Powder Foundation

I think I have finally made some visible improvement on this. If you look closely, you will see that the pan rings are now slightly visible. Yay! I have dry to normal skin so I am very careful with powder. I really like this powder, it's so finely milled and it does a good job in setting my liquid base. I am really looking forward on how it will look like at the end of the year.

3. Make Up Forever Mist & Fix Spray

I am quite pleased with my progress on this one. I like this setting spray. I think it really does help keep my make up on longer however, I don't find this hydrating enough for my dry skin. For Fall and Winter, I prefer my Mario Badescu sprays than this one. But now that it's boiling hot outside, I'm able to use this more than before. I like to spray my brush or my cushion puff with this before blending my base and then I go over my entire face with a couple more spritz after I finish all my powder products. I also use this to wet my eye shadow brushes and it helps the shadow stand out more and stay on longer.

4. MAC Lip Pencil

Since my previous update, I only sharpened this once so I don't have much progress with this one. It's a good lip pencil, I really like it. It lasts longs and helps my lipstick stay on longer. Since it is a pencil, it is more hygienic compared to twist up lip pencils. For the price you pay, it lasts a long time so you definitely get your money's worth.

5. MAKE UP FOREVER Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick

In my previous update, you can see that I have completely flattened out the bullet. I thought about considering it done but then a big part of me wanted to know how much product is left inside. So I scooped out the remaining product and placed it in a plastic tub. I find it wasteful to throw out the remaining product so I decided to continue with it. I think by next update, I will finish it up.

6. LORAC PRO 2 Palette

I have never completely finished an entire pan of eyeshadow in my entire existence. This year alone I already finished up 3 pans in my palette. I know, I know, I have an existential dilemma if this is my biggest achievement in life but it does make me feel good. My goal next month is to completely use up Nectar and Rose and possibly hit pan again on Mocha (I repressed it).

7. Inglot Freedom System Concealer

Another product I am happy to cross out in my list is this concealer. I would have finished this sooner however, it was too dark for me during the cold months. It was a good product especially in spot treating pimples. I have been breaking out lately so this has been very helpful in covering my break outs. It is very creamy and easy to blend, its longevity is pretty decent also. I highly suggest you to try it for covering your blemishes. I don't recommend it for the under eyes since I find it too thick and creamy for it.

Finished products:

1. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer (Medium) - AU$18.95 https://buff.ly/2CnYq6S

2. Bobbi Brown Ink Liner (Blackest Black) - AU$42 https://buff.ly/2otPDaN

3. Bobbi Brown Corrector (Peach) - AU$44 https://buff.ly/2quxAlG

4. Paul & Joe Face Color - AU$22.13 https://buff.ly/2v6moR4

5. Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre - AU$16 - https://buff.ly/2jTCTaM

6. Lancome Grandiose Mascara - AU$30.35 - https://buff.ly/2OY8fih

7. Naturactor Make Up Base - AU$15

8. Inglot Cream Concealer - AU$7

Total: AU$185.43

If you're also a panner please leave your links as well as I would love to connect with fellow panners.

Next month will be the finale for my Project Pan.

Have a wonderful day!

PROJECT PAN: Pan 18 in 2018 UPDATE # 4

Hello friends! I'm back for my 4th update on my Project Pan. I honestly can't believe that it's just my 4th update. It kinda feels like I've been doing this forever.

For this update, I don't really have a lot of progress to show. I kinda fell in a slump the previous month and I just took a mini-break from using most of my panning items. Hopefully, I would snap out of it soon and be able to show more progress by the next update.

So in the mean time, here's my not so stellar progress:

1. Naturactor Make Up Base

This one is a fail. I was supposed to finish this one up by this update but sadly I failed. I tend to forget to use this every time I do my make up that's why I didn't get much progress it. I will try my best to finish this one for my next update.

2. Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Make up

If you have this foundation, you know that you don't need a lot for every use. This is my summer shade so I have been mixing this with my double wear concealer to somehow lighten it up. However, it also means that I won't be able to use much every make up application.

I previously mentioned that I won't be supporting Estee Lauder products anymore since I don't agree with what the company stands for. Because of that even though this is my HG foundation, I decided not to repurchase it once I ran out. The bad news is that means I am currently on the hunt for a good dupe for this one.

3. Inglot Freedom System Concealer

Since this is a pretty thick and creamy concealer, I tend to use this only to cover blemishes. Good news is my skin has been behaving lately so the bad news is I didn't need this concealer as much as before. Also, since I was using my double wear foundation, I didn't really need another layer of coverage that this one provides.

I am planning on switching back to my BB cream soon so hopefully I would get more use with this and show more progress next time. My goal is to enlarge the pan I already have by my next update.

4. MAC Prolongwear Paintpot in Soft Ochre

I'm not sure if my progress is visible in this before and after photo. IRL though I can see that I have reached a deeper dent on my paint pot. I am trying to hit pan before I start working on the sides of this pot.

With the amount of product this pot has, I really believe this is a good bang for your bucks. However, I do recommend that you put on an eye cream first if you have dry lids since it tends to emphasise the dry patches I never thought I had on my lids.

5. Make Up Forever Pro Finish Multi-Use Powder Foundation

IRL I am starting to notice the rings of the pans showing however, I don't think this photo is able to capture that. I really do like this powder and I don't really want to waste it just to finish it up. So I am taking my time with this one and am just using the right amount for my face. I tend to use less this time around since it is Autumn here so hopefully once it's Spring again I get to use this more.

6. LORAC PRO 2 Palette

I guess it is bound to happen soon...I started to get bored with this palette. I started reaching out for my other palettes recently which is why I don't have new pans to show for this month. I still try to reach out for this one just to use some shades (BUFF and LT BROWN). But for the most part, I have started to neglect this palette.

For my next update, I will try to further enlarge my existing pans and to create deeper dents on the shades PLUM and CHROME.

7. MAC Lip Pencil

Another product that I don't have significant progress. I don't think I even sharpened it for this update.

8. MAKE UP FOREVER Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick

I was honestly quite surprised when I checked my before and after photos of this lipstick. IRL I feel like I am not making any progress at all. I really want to finish this one up as soon as I can because just dying to move on to my other lipsticks.

9. Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre

My goal was to finish this up by this next update and I'm happy that I was able to achieve that. Honestly, it wasn't hard to finish this up. I could have finished this earlier but I was trying to keep it longer because I just find that it works really well as a moisturising primer especially during these cool months. I am sad to let this one go but I am also happy to give some love to my other moisturising primer in my collection.

Finished products:

1. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer (Medium) - AU$18.95 https://buff.ly/2CnYq6S

2. Bobbi Brown Ink Liner (Blackest Black) - AU$42 https://buff.ly/2otPDaN

3. Bobbi Brown Corrector (Peach) - AU$44 https://buff.ly/2quxAlG

4. Paul & Joe Face Color - AU$22.13 https://buff.ly/2v6moR4

5. Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre - AU$16 - https://buff.ly/2jTCTaM

Total: AU$133.08

So that's it for this post. If you have any tips and advice when it comes to panning please let me know on the comments section below. If you're also a panner please leave your links as well as I would love to connect with fellow panners.

Stay tuned next month for my next update.

Have a wonderful day!

PROJECT PAN: Pan 18 in 2018 UPDATE # 3

Sorry guys, I know this update is long overdue! Life has been crazy for the past few weeks so I wasn't able to post this on time. However, it doesn't mean I was slacking off with my panning. I am so excited for this update because I was able to use up 2 more products! That means I am only down to 14 products to finish off for the rest of the year.

So without further ado, let's proceed with the update.

1.Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre

My goal for this update was to use up at least 3/4 of the tube. I am happy to show you that I was able to do just that. I could have finished this product but I couldn't decide on what to replace it with that's why I still have it.

For next month, my goal is to finish it up and I'm confident that I can easily accomplish that.

2. Naturactor Make Up Base

In my previous post, I mentioned that my goal for this one is to finish it up by end of the month. I did use it up more than before however, I truly enjoy this so I did hold back a bit in using it up.

I'm pretty sure that this one will be completely used up by my next update. I need to start focusing on my other primer that's also included in my project.

3. Make Up Forever Pro Finish Multi-Use Powder Foundation

This is probably the only product that doesn't have any visible progress. Like I mentioned before, I am not a powder person. I have normal to dry skin so I don't need powder everywhere.

I do like this powder and just because it's in my project pan, it doesn't mean I have to waste it by over-powdering my face.

I betcha that on my next update, it would still look the same. But to be honest, I'm not really bothered by it since I really do enjoy this powder.

4. Make Up Forever Mist & Fix Spray

This product has started to grow on me. I used to think it was a "meh" product but then I started to feel like it does help hydrate my dry skin a bit. It also does a really good job in getting rid of the "powdery look" especially after I put on all my powder products and prolonging my make up.

Since it's officially Autumn and the weather has made my skin drier, I started to use more of this in setting my make up. Hopefully by my next update, I have used up at least half of the product.

5. Inglot Freedom System Concealer

This is a very thick, creamy and full-coverage concealer so despite its size, this can actually last you a long time. Sadly, my skin has been really bad for the past few weeks which in a way helped my use up more of this concealer. I was able to hit a side pan on it, Yay!

I hope that my skin behaves soon enough so that I won't have significant progress on my next update. My goal is to enlarge the side pan I have by next month.

6. MAC Prolongwear Paintpot in Soft Ochre

This is another product which will take me ages before I hit pan. I am still enjoying this product and I don't see myself getting bored of it despite using it all the time. I really like this product however, I am sad to say that once I'm done with it, I won't repurchase it anymore.

I recently discovered what its "parent company", Estee Lauder stands for and to show my disapproval, I decided to stop supporting all their products. It's a shame really since I really do love their products.

I'm pretty sure that I won't have any significant progress on my next update, but I will continue using this until I do.

7. Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Make Up

Since the weather has become cooler for the past few weeks, I was able to finally bust out my foundation. I know that I barely made a dent on it, but it is a pretty thick, high-coverage foundation. Plus, it's my summer shade so I had to mix it with a lighter concealer to somehow match my face.

I have reached about the half-way point of the bottle, which is making me sad because this is my HG foundation. But I decided that I won't repurchase it once I finished it up. If you have any good dupes for this foundation, please let me know!

8. MAC Lip Pencil

I didn't even sharpen this one after my last update. I really do love this lip pencil and use it all the time regardless of the lippie I use. It is crazy pigmented that's why I don't need a lot for each use.

I can't really tell if I made significant progress since I started this project, but just like the others, I'll keep using it until I finish it up.

9. MAKE UP FOREVER Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick

Compared to my other items included in this project, I am so bored with this one! Don't get me wrong, it's a really good matte lipstick and all but I am sooo bored in using the same color over and over for the past few months.

I recently started layering this with a different lipstick just to satisfy my craving for some variety and it somehow appeases me. I cannot wait to finally finish it up just so I can enjoy my other lippies for the rest of the year!

I know it's impossible to finish this one up by next month but I would really want to finish it up by my next 2 updates.

10. LORAC PRO 2 Palette

I am so excited to show you guys my progress with this palette. Since my last update, I have hit pan on 2 more eyeshadows (BUFF and NECTAR), and have expanded the pans on BEIGE, ROSé, MOCHA, and LT. BROWN. I am slowly working on the shades COOL BROWN, CHROME and PLUM so hopefully I would make a significant dent on them by the next update.

My goal is to expand the existing pans and to make a significant dent on COOL BROWN, CHROME and PLUM by next month.

11. Bobbi Brown Corrector

Another goal achieved! I finished this one up recently. I know there's a teeny-tiny product left on the side but I consider it done. I will continue to scrape off the product left since I don't want to waste such an expensive corrector. This is another product that I won't be repurchasing not only because of its "parent company" but also because it just doesn't work on me.

I do like the packaging of this product so I decided to use it when I make my own "frankenshadow".

So yay! I have found a better replacement for this product which is my Napoleon Perdis "The One" corrector. So I am happy that I can finally start using a corrector I like.

12. Paul & Joe Face Color

In my previous post, I mentioned that I would only use up the white highlighter. But when I was able to use it up a few days after my previous update, I decided why not? So I started using up the other shade as well. I have been a shiny, glittering goddess for the previous months since I have been applying this product on my legs, shoulders and collarbone.

Similar with my Bobbi Brown corrector, I decided to hold on to this case a little longer so I can repress another product here.

I am so happy with my current update. I finished 2 products and hit pan on 2 more eyeshadows. I'm confident that I can finish 2 more products on my next update.

Finished products:

1. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer (Medium) - AU$18.95 https://buff.ly/2CnYq6S

2. Bobbi Brown Ink Liner (Blackest Black) - AU$42 https://buff.ly/2otPDaN

3. Bobbi Brown Corrector (Peach) - AU$44 https://buff.ly/2quxAlG

4. Paul & Joe Face Color - AU$22.13 https://buff.ly/2v6moR4

Total: AU$127.08

Stay tuned next month for my next update.

Have a wonderful day!
