Project Pan Update

As we’re nearing the middle of the year, I thought it’d be nice to check in with my first Project Pan update! This year I’m planning on finishing 20 items by 2020 and you can read my introductory post here.

Skincare

FACE MASKS: All of the face masks have been used up! I loved the Fresh Vitamin Nectar Vibrancy-Boosting Face Mask so much that I bought the full sized version. I’m transitioning away from disposable face masks, so I’ll be working on using the rest of my collection up. I have 13 left!
LIP CARE: I’ve used the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask almost every night and sometimes during the day, so it’s about half empty. Not a fan of the Burts Bees Honey Lip Balm, so I don’t use it as often but I’ve made some progress. I hope to have used it up by the next update. I only started using the Sephora Kiwi Lip Scrub about a month ago because I forgot about it as it was tucked away! I’ve put it on my bathroom counter and intend to use it more often over Winter.
HAND CREAM: The Face Shop Mini Pet Fruits in Peach has been used up! It had such a lovely peach scent and now I have a cute container to keep. I’m now using Aesop Rind Concentrate Body Balm as my go to hand cream.
DRY SHAMPOO: I’ve barely used the Bumble and Bumble Pret-a-Powder as I just haven’t had to use it. My hair is usually clipped up and only washed 2-3 times a week as I rarely go out. I’m not sure whether to keep this product on my list or substitute it with something else.

Makeup

FOUNDATION: I’ve used up the Benefit Cosmetics Hello Happy Soft Blur Foundation and have repurchased it as my go to foundation. It matches my yellow skin tones and I love the sheer-medium coverage. Even though I’ve found my go to foundation, I can’t resist trying out new foundations. I’m currently using NYX Full Coverage Matte Finish Foundation in True Beige. While the colour is spot on, I’m not a fan of the full coverage and cakey feel it gives me. I’ll be moving onto another foundation once this has been used up.
CONCEALER: I’ve used up the Loreal True Match Concealer and am onto my next one. This is another go to product.
BROWS: Since I rarely go out anymore, I don’t really use my brow products! I’m still hoping to hit pan on the Benefit Foolproof Brow Powder by the end of the year and continue using a bit of Benefit Gimme Brow until it dries out.
BLUSH: Out of all of my makeup products, I use my The Balm Cindy-Lou Manizer the most. It gives a really nice flush to the cheeks and suits my medium skin tone well. I’ve really enjoyed using this blush and hope to have it finished up by the end of the year!
HIGHLIGHTER: I’ve been using The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer almost as much as my blush but I’ve barely made a dent! I would love to hit pan by the end of the year but I won’t be holding my breath.
EYESHADOWS: For the majority of the year I’ve been concentrating on using up Colour Pop’s Truth Super Shock Shadow and I’m happy to call this done. It was a great everyday eyeshadow that gave me the sheerest sparkle on my lids. I hit pan on this very early on but just couldn’t use up the edges before it dried up. I’m now focusing on using up MUG Eyeshadows in Peach Smoothie and Bling.
MASCARA: I’ve used up my travel sized Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara. It’s been my go to mascara for a long while now but I was looking for a non-plastic mascara, so I bought the Besame Mascara Cake. Unfortunately I much prefer using it as an eyeliner, so I bought the iconic Maybelline Great Lash Volumizing Mascara to tide me over until I re-purchase another Too Faced mascara. One of the downsides of a living in a small regional town!
LIPPIES: I’ve been loving using the Tarte Amazonian Butter Lipstick in Plummy Rose and Etude House Apricot Stick. I’m terrible at remembering to re-apply during the day though, so I haven’t made as big of a dent as I’d like.

Below is a comparison of some of the products at January and now in June.
