The first month of my Project Pan is close to an end. If you have not read the first post click here to get caught up. I will wait.
At times it was rather boring using only these products but once a week I substituted other items in to give myself a break and stop myself from getting frustrated and giving up. Let's start with the products I used up completely.
Marc Anthony Repairing Macadamia Oil Shampoo
I'm so glad I've used up one of the million bottles in my shower, I didn't have a hard time using this up and did like it while I had it.
True Blue Spa Nourishing Yogurt Smoothie in Pineapple Papaya
This smelled amazing but I was not in love with it. It was so thick and creamy that while it did moisturize well it didn't really exfoliate even though it had little bits in it. I have another scent that I will likely use in my next Project Pan but for now I'm glad to move on to something else.
Julep Bare Faced Cleansing Oil
This is a product that I really loved then lost interest in and now that I've used it all up I miss it. In fact I bought another cleansing oil because I find it is just the easiest, most gentle way to remove makeup before cleansing my face. I think next time I decide to get a Maven box I will check to see if this is one of the available add-ons.
Dr. Brandt Pores No More anti-aging Mattifying Lotion
This was an alright lotion, it didn't do much for me in the Mattifying department but it helped slightly. I wouldn't but this but I would use it if I got it in another subscription box. There was not a lot left so I used it up,pretty quickly. The sample did last a fair amount of time for its size since a little goes a long way.
Julep Blank Canvas Primer
I did not mind using this everyday and would recommend it to someone if they were a Maven and weren't on a strict budget as Julep products can be on the pricey side. However I feel like there are better primers out there for my oily skin so I will not repurchase.
Bio Idoine Night Cream
i also used up this little tub of night cream but lost the container. I t was alright but nothing amazing.
There were also a couple products I just gave up on.
Too Faced Lip Insurance Lip Primer
When I first picked this I thought there was barely anything left but I was so wrong. I used it a couple times but then it started to smell a little off so I decided to toss it. I have had it for a while and would rather not put something on my lips that may have gone bad.
Macbeth Collection body Cream in Peony Pomegranate Blush
I used this all of once. I hate it, it leaves a sticky residue and is just too runny. It was not expensive so I am just going to toss it unless someone I know wants it.
And here are the rest of the products and a few I substituted in.
Clean and Clear Blackhead Eraser Cleansing Mask
I have not made a lot of progress on this but I have used it quite a few times. I am still confident I can finish this before my final update.
Julep Rock Star Hand Cream
I could be doing better on this one, it's a lovely cream but it is just too heavily scented to use at work or around anyone who is sensitive to such things. I can use the rest of this up in a weekend if I focus on it.
Phytorelax Laboratories Argan Oil Treatment
I have very little of this left so I'm not concerned about using it up. I had really bad razor burn consistently for a couple weeks so I used this before shaving and it really helped both use it up and avoid razor burn.
ECRU New York Protein BB Cream
This is just as a matter of putting it somewhere I see it before I do my hair, I'm sure I will use this up.
NYX Love in Rio Eyeshadow Trio
My only goal for this trio was to hit pan on the beige and pink shadows and I hit pan on all three. I will keep using it until the project is over but it have hit my goal. I will likely toss this when the project is done as it will be nearly done and I have so many other palettes with these colours. I do like these shadows for a soft everyday look but I want to go though all my single shadows and trios since I have so many.
Julep Lip Gloss in Glowing
I have been using this like it is my only job and I really thought I had made more progress. Also pretty much immediately after I took this photo I lost the lip gloss. I have looked in every purse, coat and pair of pants I've worn and it's just gone. If I find it I will start using it again. I am not impressed because this was the one item I was determined to use up.
Lord and Berry Kohl Liner in Black
I was not fond of this eyeliner when I started, now I can't stand it. I am sharpening it more often than I would normally for any other pencil so I am sure I will finish it. Even if I do not I am tossing it. It goes on beautifully but just does not set and smudges all day.
Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Full Coverage Foundation
I am using this three times a week or so, I could have used it up by now if I was using it everyday but I am not worried about using it up.
I added three more items since I just gave up on two of the original ones.
Marc Anthony Bye Bye Frizz Conditioner
This is a decent conditioner, it's a little heavy for my hair but is great if I use a clarifying shampoo.
Vaseline Spray and Go Moisturizer
I don't really like this and I can not thing of one single reason why. I thought since I am so bad at moisturizing this would be ideal. Nope. I just don't use it, it's a fine lotion but it does not make me moisturize any more frequently. I have no idea how much is left and I am certain I won't be using it all up, even with attacking Beast with it. I just want to get some use out of it before I go on a decluttering spree and get rid of it.
Épicé Therapeutic Moisturizer
I get so many moisturizer samples so I want to try using them up. I do like trying new face products but I just don't use one up before I get another. This one is a nice light moisturizer, great for summer.
Thanks for reading!
