Project 10 Pan (AKA the hardest thing I've ever had to do)

This weekend, I have thought long and hard about the products I want to include in this. There is hair care, skin products, but mainly makeup. And here are the ten products I need to use up (or hit pan on) before I can purchase any more products.



1. Covergirl & Olay Tone Rehab 2 in 1 Foundation in 110 Classic Ivory
I've had this foundation for a while, and as you can see, I have used a majority of it. I love the bottle because you can see how much foundation has been used. The only problem is I find this foundation a little pink sometimes, but I will mix it with other foundations to try use it up. I do really like this foundation, I find it great for dry skin. 


2. Rimmel Match Perfection 2 in 1 Concealer and Highlighter in 010 Ivory
Before I found my true love - MAC Prolongwear Concealer - I adored this as an under eye concealer and highlight. I have a bit left of this, so it shouldn't be too hard to use up for this challenge. 


3. Schwarzkopf Daily Oil Elixir 
I have been using this in my hair as a hair oil recently, and I do like it. However, I want to try different oils and before I purchase anything, I want to use this one up. 


4. St. Moriz Instant Self Tanning Lotion
I bought this when I was in England last year - and I loved it, but I've only fake tanned once since coming back. I'm putting this in my Project 10 Pan to motivate me to fake tan and use it up. 


5. Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray
I purchased this when I was in England last July, and although I do like it, I want to try the one more specialised for dry skin. However, I don't want to be a hoarder of makeup setting sprays, so I'd like to use this one up first.  


6. L'Oreal Lumi Magique Pure Light Primer
I like this primer because of the illuminating look it gives, but I want to try different primers. I don't find primers all too effective, and I'm going to put this down to the fact being I haven't found the right primer. I want to try a Laura Mercier primer, but need to use up this one first! 


7. Face of Australia Translucent Loose Powder
I've had this powder for over a year, and it feels like it is never-ending. I have some left in the container, and I want to use it all up. 


8. Maybelline 24 Hr Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze (Bad to the Bronze) 
I absolutely adore this cream eyeshadow - but I have not hit the bottom yet and I want to! This tends to be an everyday makeup item when I do eyeshadow, so hopefully I'll be able to hit pan soon.


9. MAC Honey Love lipstick
I adore this lipstick, and I'll probably end up repurchasing something like this when I'm done. But I've never finished a lipstick so I want to cross that one of my list too, and this one is on the way to being used up! 


10. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil in Zero 

I have a tiny bit left of this, but for my waterline I like to use gel eyeliner. So I want to use this up and be done with it. It's not my favourite pencil, and to be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of black eye pencils - I'd rather use gel. 

And those are the ten products I have chosen for my Project Ten Pan. I don't want to purchase another beauty product until I use up, or hit pan, on all ten of these products, but I probably will need to purchase a primer before that time comes because I only have this primer mentioned and a bit of another one left. However, besides that - these are the products I'm going to be using daily and hopefully save some money in the meantime! 

Thanks for reading, and wish me luck!

England Haul pt 2 - Skincare, Haircare, Nail Polish and Perfume!

Time for part 2 of my England haul, which features skin care, hair care, nail polish and a perfume. I didn't go as crazy as I did on makeup, so I've condensed these all together. 



I got some Soap & Glory travel size items, they were 3 for 2 at Boots when I went in, and I never got the chance to go back and get some more. I bought Hand Food, Flake Away Body Scrub and the Daily   Smooth Body Butter. I purchased an Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor Deep Conditioner (which isn't as great as I thought it would be). The second week I was in England, we went away to the beach, so I decided to fake tan because I am pale. I purchased the St. Moriz Instant Self-Tanning Lotion and it was awesome! I bought a back up of it to take back with me to Australia. I also visited Lush because there is a dramatic difference in price. I bought back ups of the Dreamwash Shower Smoothie and Dream Cream, which I use both of for my eczema. I also bought Ultrabalm, WHICH IS AMAZING. I've repurchased it since returning to Australia.


I also brought back some sample sizes I wanted to try while I was there, but I never got around to doing so. There is the Skin Wisdom Instant Benefit Peel Off Face Mask (which I've tried, and loved), the Skin Wisdom Skin Essentials Thermal Face Mask, another Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Colour Deep Treatment and a Garnier Ambre Soleil Natural Bronzer Self-tan Face Wipe.


Marc Jacob's Daisy Eau So Fresh. I purchased this duty free, and I absolutely adore the scent! Very happy with this purchase, and the bottle is adorable.


I also picked up some nail polish not available in Australia. Three Barry M (one Nail Effects in Foil Effects, and two Gelly Hi Shine in Guava and Lychee) and a Rimmel Cocktail Colour in a Flash in 110 Baby Bellini.

And this concludes everything I purchased from England. Next time I go, I will definitely pack a lot less in regards to skincare and makeup because I bought much more then I intended to and it really is so much cheaper than it is in Australia! I'll even pack less clothes because I didn't really have much room in my suitcase to bring any clothes back. I loved shopping in England, and I can't wait to go back.
