While I must admit that project 10 pan has not been easy, it has been a discovery of things I owned yet had brushed aside for something new. Some of the products proved themselves useful and would warrant a repurchase; others I'm just struggling through to finish so that I may begin with something new. For those of you who are not familiar with project 10 pan, it's when you chose 10 of your products and completely finish them.
For me, I spend so much money on most of my things that I believe I must finish it. There is a reason, afterall, why I ditched out so much cash on the item. It's good not to be wasteful and use it up. Right, enough with the rambling and let's get down to business. Here are the ten products I am on my way of finishing:
Bobbi Brown Cream Foundation in 2.5: This I must admit is not a cheap item. If I recall I spent about 50$ on it at a duty free shop a while back. However, it is liquid-based and liquids need to be used up ASAP as they have very low shelf lives. I didn't think that I would get much use out of this product as the size is quite small. But with compact creams, they are more concentrated and you need to use less than liquid ones. Overall, I'm pleased with this product and love the colour-but I won't be running to the counter to repurchase as it's too expensive for what you get.
L'Oreal Eyeshadow Quad: This is taking longer than planned to finish. They are not of excellent quality or pigmentation. Would not repurchase.
L'Oreal Single Eyeshadow in Gold: I really enjoy the colour and pigmentation of this. I wouldn't repurchase as it's not in a palette and I've realized that I don't seem to reach for singles e/s and they get left behind. I do like MAC's singles as you can put them in the palette though...
PUR Mineral Powder Foundation: I have repurchased this product quite a few times in the past, but I have moved on to MAC MSF's. I prefer MAC's and if I recall they are of similar pricing.
YSL Perfect Touch Foundation: It's ok. It's quite expensive and doesn't do much for me. I don't get how people use brushes to slap on foundations...it streaks sooo much on me. I prefer my fingers. Always have and always will. It smells nice, colour isn't that great (a bit orange) and doesn't blend all that well. Save your money.
Dior Blush: I really enjoy this colour as it's a little bit coral-ish or red-ish with bronze. Not something I seem to reach for all that often, so would not repurchase. It's good, but if I don't reach for it, there's no point in buying.
MAC Select Concealer: I really enjoy this and would rebuy. It's got a generous portion of 10ml and blends quite well. Make sure if you buy MAC to save your empty containers as they will accept 6 empty containers under the "Back 2 MAC" program which gives you a free lipstick, gloss or eyeshadow.
NARS Blusher in Orgasm: I used to hate this, and yes I've had this one for over 5 years (I know, gross, but it's still fine! haha) When I have tanned skin this doesn't work well with my complexion. However, when I'm pasty white as I am now, the shade is gorgeous and adds a nice sheen and colour to my cheeks.
MAC Eyeshadow in Satin Taupe: I have a new one of this, but I'm just finishing this old one. I use this shade to fill in my brows and it works really well. It's a great buy.
MAC Loose Illuminating Powder in Bronze: It works really well, but I wouldn't repurchase as I don't really enjoy loose products. I'm too clumsy and it ends up being too messy. Not travel friendly either. This one will take ages to finish!!
Has anyone else been on a mission to complete some old products??
