Soon I’m going to start to include sample products into my pan, with 10 sample sized products equating to one full sized product in my tally. This is mainly because the landfill that is the sample product drawer in my bathroom is just about ready to overflow. I’ve finished up a few holy grail items this time around, and it’s really beginning to feel like Project 50 Pan will stretch out to Project 100 Pan.

36: Nivea Daily Essentials Fragrance Free Facial Cleansing Wipes – Out of all of the different types of makeup remover wipes I’ve tried over the years, these are my favourite. I know a lot of people don’t like these because they’re slightly dry compared to other brands, but I prefer them. These are the only facial wipes that I’ve tried that don’t leave my skin red and feeling irritated after using them. I will repurchase these in the future.

37: Givenchy Photo Perfexion Foundation in Perfect Ivory – I’m sure you’re all sick of hearing me harp on about this foundation, but it is my holy grail and I will continue to repurchase it until the day that I die (or until they discontinue it).

38: Philosophy ‘The Supernatural’ Blotting Papers – I quite like these blotting papers, and did consider them my favourite until I tried the Boscia papers that I started using once I’d finishing these up. I did enjoy using the Philosophy papers but I don’t think I will repurchase them purely because I prefer the Boscia brand ones now.

39: Skindanavia No More Shine Makeup Finish – I am still in two minds about how I feel about this product. I don’t feel like it does anything at all to control the shine on my face, but I do think that it helps to keep my makeup on for the whole day. I’ve repurchased this since finishing up this bottle, so hopefully I’ll be able to decide how I really feel about this product soon.

40: Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer in Fair – This product has trumped Benefit’s Erase Paste and is now my favourite concealer. I prefer the consistency of the Maybelline concealer, and the colour match is pretty much perfect on my skin. The only thing I don’t like about this concealer is the packaging. The sponge tip applicator feels kind of unhygienic and gross after a week or so of using the product, and it can get quite messy. Despite that, I really enjoyed this product and would definitely repurchase it in the future.
