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 #1

It's been about 3 weeks since I posted the intro of my very first Project Pan Series and I am very excited to share my first update. I thought that I would barely make any progress since I only had a few weeks to work on but I am quite satisfied despite my minimal progress.

www.poshmakeupnstuff.blogspot.com: PROJECT PAN: Pan 18 in 2018

I have to admit that I haven't been using all the products in my list therefore, I will only show the products that I've actually used for the past few weeks. I decided that some of my make up products (such as foundation and illuminating base) would be more appropriate to use during the colder months. It's been freaking hot here in Australia and make up would just melt right off my face that's why I prefer to use less make up on for now.

So without further ado, let's move on to the make up! Let's start with the ones with minimal progress:

1.Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre

www.poshmakeupnstuff.blogspot.com: Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre

I've been using this as a make up primer before I apply my actual base make up. I have changed my opinion on this product since using it religiously for the past few weeks. I used to think it's was a "meh" product since it didn't do wonders on my dry skin during the winter season. But now, I've been loving this product! I love the effect it leaves on my skin -- hydrated, smooth and slightly dewy. Despite my minimal progress, I am confident that I can finish this up before the year ends.

2. Naturactor Make Up Base

I feel like this product never ends! I've been using this religiously as a base for my BB cream or on its own and I've barely made progress. I like wearing it on its own on my "no make up" days since it leaves a nice sheen on my skin similar to the "glass skin" trend going on right now.

www.poshmakeupnstuff.blogspot.com: Naturactor Make Up Base

But despite my minimal progress, I am still confident that I will finish this before the year ends.

3. Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream

www.poshmakeupnstuff.blogspot.com:Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream

As you can see I haven't marked my progress with this one since I realised that it was kinda hard to do so. I tend to hold the products against a bright lamp to see how much is inside but with this one it's a little difficult. See the BB cream started to form a U shaped on the inside so I don't know how to mark it. I was hoping that the before and after photos would be enough to show my progress. Anyway, I've only used this 3x since my last update so sadly, there's not much progress with this one.

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

www.poshmakeupnstuff.blogspot.com: Make Up Forever Pro Finish Multi-Use Powder Foundation

I am not a powder person. I used to but not anymore. Since my skin type has changed from combo to dry skin, I started using face powders more sparingly. I am trying to use this as much as I can while it's Summer but as you can see, the progress is almost non-existent. I will try my best to hit pan on it this year but if I can't, I'll use this until I finish it up. Wish me luck!

5. Make Up Forever Mist & Fix Spray

www.poshmakeupnstuff.blogspot.com: Make Up Forever Mist & Fix Spray

I am surprised at how little progress I made with this one. I use this all the time after I set my T-zone with powder and to help prolong the wear of my make up. I was initially confident that I can finish this up before the year ends but with the rate I'm going this will probably last me until next year. I'm hoping that since the drier months are coming, I would use more of this and hopefully finish it up.

6. MAC Prolongwear Paintpot in Soft Ochre

This is another product that will last me all year (or more). I discovered that using my finger to dip in the jar is the reason why it has lasted me this long despite my consistent use of it. I started using a fluffy concealer brush and it made a huge difference on my progress.

www.poshmakeupnstuff.blogspot.com: MAC Prolongwear Paintpot in Soft Ochre

TIP: If you find your paintpot is drying up, try storing it upside-down. It helps prevent the oils from settling at the bottom. That's how I store mine and it's still very creamy even though I've had it for years.

7. MAC Lip Pencil

I also made little progress with this one. I did my best to use this as often as I can however, it's just crazy pigmented! I find that I don't use up as much product in every use. Since my intro, I've used this several times and sharpened it once yet I've only made a few millimetres of difference.

www.poshmakeupnstuff.blogspot.com: MAC Lip Pencil

This should make me happy since that means my $30 is money well-spent but as a panner that means I might end up having it for another year. I do love the shade of this one and am also considering getting other shades as well.

8. MAKE UP FOREVER Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick

www.poshmakeupnstuff.blogspot.com: MAKE UP FOREVER Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick

Similar with the lip pencil, I barely made progress with this one. I guess the noticeable difference is that I was able to change the shape of the lipstick. Like the MAC lip pencil, this one is also crazy pigmented and lasts for a long time. I really hope that I can finish this up before the year ends so wish me luck!

Now, here are the products I made major progress on:

9. Bobbi Brown Corrector

www.poshmakeupnstuff.blogspot.com: Bobbi Brown Corrector

This one already had a small pan when I posted my intro. After a few weeks, I was able to make the the pan bigger. Yay! Similar to my paintpot, I started using a fluffy brush with this product and it made a huge difference in my panning game. I am trying to use it up as fast as I can since it is getting slightly drier than it used to. I still maintain my opinion of it being overpriced for what it does and will not repurchase it after I'm done with it.

10. Inglot Freedom System Concealer

www.poshmakeupnstuff.blogspot.com: Inglot Freedom System Concealer

I was happy and sad at the same time when I hit pan on this. I love this and is my favorite concealer as of the moment. Now that I hit pan, I am having the urge to stop using it to try and "preserve" it longer.

11. Paul & Joe Face Color

www.poshmakeupnstuff.blogspot.com: Paul & Joe Face Color

I have been using the crap out of it and was happy that I finally hit pan. I use this on my face and all over my body to give me that glow. I really want to use up the highlighter part this Summer since by Winter, I can only apply highlighter on my face. Still, even if I don't finish it, my initial goal was just to hit pan on the highlighter and I did. So yay!

12. LORAC PRO 2 Palette

As much as I enjoy the creativity in the name selection of shades nowadays, I miss the days when a palette tells you exactly the colour you're putting on. That's one of the things I like in this palette. So far, I'm not yet bored with it and I just love the quality of this palette. Despite having it for years, it's still very pigmented, buttery and blends well. Carol Shaw did a good job in the formulation and putting together the colour scheme for this palette.

www.poshmakeupnstuff.blogspot.com: LORAC PRO 2 Palette

I hit a tiny pan on Mocha just before I did this post. Yay! I don't know if you can even see it in the photos, but trust me it's there. I plan to make a bigger pan on it and hopefully hit pan on another shade on my next update.

13. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer

This is my first empty for this project. I know I didn't have a lot of product in it to begin with but I was ignoring it since I got my INGLOT concealer. Doing this project motivated me to focus on this one until I finished it up. I know this is a popular concealer and everyone loves it but I just don't see what the hype is all about. I don't see myself repurchasing this. I'm glad it's done so I can enjoy my Inglot concealer.

www.poshmakeupnstuff.blogspot.com: Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer

To summarise my goals for my next update:

1. Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre - reduce at least a centimeter of the product

2. Naturactor Make Up Base - reduce at least a centimeter amount of the product

3. Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream - finish less than half of the tube

4. Make Up Forever Pro Finish Multi-Use Powder Foundation - make a noticeable dent on the product.

5. Make Up Forever Mist & Fix Spray - reduce at least a centimeter amount of product

6. MAC Prolongwear Paintpot in Soft Ochre - make a bigger dent on the product.

7. MAC Lip Pencil - reduce at least a centimeter of product

8. MAKE UP FOREVER Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick - reduce at least half a centimeter of product

9. Bobbi Brown Corrector - make a bigger pan

10. Inglot Freedom System Concealer - make a bigger pan

11. Paul & Joe Face Color - make a bigger pan

12. LORAC PRO 2 Palette - make a bigger pan on Mocha and hit pan on another shade.

13. Bobbi Brown Ink Liner - finish it up

My progress:

January - 18 products

February - 17 products

Finished products:

1. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer (Medium) - AUD18.95

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 pt 1

I discovered this concept of Project Pan from a small group of YouTubers. Basically, it's about using up a product until you hit pan on it / finish it up. Some focus on simply panning their palettes (Pan That Palette) while others aim to finish up the entire product. Some set a certain time limit, others do not. It all depends on each person's goals. If you're interested in watching them, I'll list some of their links down below.

I find it interesting to try it out for this year since I am guilty of being a make up hoarder. I admit that I tend to buy make up (esp high-end) and it ends up not being used. I used to "preserve" them by not using them, thinking I get my money's worth by keeping them for too long. I realised now that I am actually wasting my money by not using them and that make up (just like everything else) doesn't last forever.

So for this project, I decided to include some products that I've had for 2 years or more (and are probably expired by now) and some new products that I got last year. I divided this blog post into 2 parts because I didn't want to bore you with such a lengthy post. So for this post, I will be showing the first 9 make up products (mostly base products) that I included in my project pan.

1.Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre

You can get it in a variety of sizes, from 15ml - 30ml - 75ml. The one that I have is the 30ml tube. I admit that when I first started using this last winter, I thought it was a "meh" product. It was hyped up by the internet people and I guess I expected a lot from it back then. I still stand by my previous opinion of this but I found out that if I layer it with another moisturiser, I was able to get the moisture that my dry skin needed for Winter. Since it is currently Summer here down under, my skin isn't as dry so I was finally able to enjoy using this.

I placed a mark on where I am currently at with this tube. My goal with this one is to finish it up by the end of the year. It's only a 30ml and even though I haven't used it up much, I am very optimistic that I will be able to reach my goal with this one.

2. Lancome La Base Pro Hydra Glow

This is an illuminating and hydrating primer that I got last winter. I am in love with this product! I haven't used this as much even though I love it. I wanted to keep this in my collection for as long as I can until I realised that I wouldn't be getting my money's worth by doing that. However, on special days that I use it, it gives my dry skin that lit from within kind of glow. I would say it is more of a subtle sheen so if you prefer a more obvious glow, then you might not enjoy this one.

I use this as a base and also mix it in with my foundation or BB cream. It has a slight pink-y shade to it that would help brighten your skin tone. I don't notice any visible glitter when I blend it out. It just gives off this nice, glowy sheen on my dry skin. It claims to be suitable for all skin types and I would agree since it is a hydrating primer.

My goal for this one is to finish it up by the end of the year. I haven't used up much but since it is only 25ml, I am very optimistic that I will be able to do it. I would definitely repurchase this once I finish it.

3. Naturactor Make Up Base

This is a make up base from a Japanese brand called, Naturactor. Like the Lancome primer, it has a slight peach-y shade to it. I don't really know if it extends the wear time of my foundation or BB cream. It does help to slightly even out my skin tone on its own. I personally think it's another "meh" product for me so I wouldn't repurchase this once I'm done with it.

This is probably one of the oldest product in this project. I would say this is going to be around almost 3 years old now. I just want to get it out of my collection that's why I included it in this project. I am about half-way done on this tube and am very optimistic that I will finish this 30ml tube before the year ends.

4. Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream

This one was included on my previous Yesstyle Haul. This is already a repurchase because I just love this BB cream. It's perfect for summer because it has SPF 42 PA+++ and it offers just enough coverage for my skin. My only complaint about this is its limited shade range. I have the darkest shade which is No.23 and its a little ashy for my yellow undertone.

I bought it last September and I am currently almost halfway down the tube so I am very positive that I will finish this one up as well. My goal is to finish it by Winter.

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

I've already gushed about this product numerous times. It's my ultimate HG foundation of all time. It never failed me while I was in a tropical, very humid country. Also tried this while at the beach, and even in this crazy weather of Australia. I mix this with a moisturiser and it just looks gorgeous on my skin. I apply it with a damp sponge or damp cushion puff and it's never cakey on me. The coverage is medium to heavy (if you layer it) and is enough for me that I don't need to use a concealer.

I only need a small amount that's why even though I use this a lot, I am only halfway down the bottle. Since I plan on using up my BB cream first, my goal is to finish this up by December 2018. I will definitely repurchase this but I will get a shade lighter since the shade I have right now (3W1 Tawny) is slightly darker on me.

6. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer

I purchased this because it was highly-raved on the internet and was disappointed when I tried it. It didn't really cover my dark circles! I apply this after my BB cream and I can still see darkness peeking through. I also don't like how it creases on me. I can't set it with powder because I feel like setting it tends to emphasize the lines I have on my under-eyes. I don't understand how this concealer is hyped up because for me it's just a meh product. Besides that, I find it a little too pricey for a drugstore concealer. So I'm just using this up (shade Medium) but I wouldn't repurchase this again.

7. Inglot Freedom System Concealer

I haven't heard of this brand before so I haven't really tried anything from them. I was on a hunt for a good concealer and after reading reviews on this brand, I decided to try their Freedom System Concealer. I settled on purchasing the shade, Medium Warm 100. It came in a single pan so you need a Z-palette or you can order a single pan palette for it.

I am surprised on how creamy this concealer is. It is a dream to blend. I use my finger to blend it and it perfectly covers ANYTHING I want covered. It also doesn't hurt that it's water resistant and doesn't crease once blended. Since I have dry skin, I don't feel the need to set it with powder and it stays on for hours! Plus, it's more affordable than the hyped up Maybelline concealer. For 7USD each, even if you can't find one that exactly matches you, you can easily get 2 shades to get your perfect shade. This is definitely my current HG concealer! Even though it's a small pan, I only use a small amount each use so I am hoping I would finish this within the year.

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

I've had this for 2 years now and as you can see, it's barely used. It's one of those "it's so pricey I want to keep it forever" make up items that I am including in this project. It's probably expired but I am still going to pan it this year because I want to get my money's worth.

I know that I won't be able to finish this powder completely by the end of the year so my goal is to simply pan this. Since my skin has changed drastically from being combo to dry skin, I don't use as much powder as I did before so this would probably last me a year or two before I can completely finish it.

9. Make Up Forever Mist & Fix Spray

Like the powder foundation, I've had this for 2 years now and it's slightly used. I like using it after I set my T-zone with powder to get rid of the "powdered look" that just doesn't suit my dry skin. This doesn't leave my skin looking dewy (which I prefer), however, I feel like it does help prolong my make up wear. It's summer here in Australia and it's extremely hot. This helps keep my make up stay on despite heat, sweat and humidity.

It doesn't have any scent, doesn't leave a sticky feeling on my skin and the nozzle gives off a fine mist each use. I've used this a lot recently and I've barely made any progress so hopefully I get to finish this by the end of the year as well.

So that's half of the products that I've included in my project. I will be posting the second part soon. I am really excited with this project because it has motivated me to start using several make up items I have in my stash and to get my money's worth by doing so. I will be posting updates probably every month or 3 months so you guys can see my progress in this project.

Here's a list of the Youtubers that inspired me with this project:
Amber F - https://buff.ly/2CZbgci
Ashley Elizabeth - https://buff.ly/2CZqr5a
Andrea Matillano - https://buff.ly/2AQJEAo
Kelly Gooch - https://buff.ly/2qS5XG3

Hope you enjoyed this post and have a wonderful 2018 everyone!
