the belle lumiere

37) evo Love Touch Shine Spray – I wrote a full review of this product a little while ago. I love this and will definitely be purchasing another bottle in the future, I just have a couple of other shine products to work through before I do.

38) evo Mane Prescription Protein Treatment – I used up a tube of this treatment some time last year, and was lucky enough to be sent another one by a rep for evo. I love this stuff and I highly recommend it if you’re in the market for a good treatment.

39) Lucas’ Paw Paw Ointment – I picked this up on a whim a long time ago in one of those bins of products near the checkout line at Target. I know this is something of a cult product but it wasn’t that great and I won’t be buying it again.

40) True Blue Spa Hand Lotion – This was a nice hand cream, and the tube was the perfect size to keep on my desk at work. It had a refreshing lemon scent and I would probably consider repurchasing it if I ever place an order through Bath + Body Works again.

41) Bali Soap in Lemongrass – This was another of the random soaps I picked up on my trip to Bali last year. Like the others, it was nothing special and I’m now working through the others that I own in an attempt to finish them all up.

Nivea Fragrance Free Facial Cleansing Wipes - Once I open up a packet of face wipes I try to use them within a couple of weeks so they don’t dry out on me. I only really open up a new packet if I’m travelling somewhere or feeling exceptionally lazy on the weekend and I can’t be bothered washing my face properly. I have another packet of these ready to go (and unfortunately I was feeling lazy recently so I’ve opened them already and I’ll be finished with them soon).

Beauty Blender - I try and replace my beauty blender once every season because I use it every day and by the end of three months it looks pretty grotty (despite washing it every day).

Boscia Lavender Blotting Linens - As I’ve mentioned before, these are my holy grail blotting papers. I’ve noticed that the lavender ones didn’t seem to soothe my skin as well as the green tea ones do, so I’ll be sticking to the green tea version in the future.

Lancome Hypnose Mascara - My holy grail mascara. I tend to go through one of these around once every three months, which works out well because I’m pretty sure that is the recommended shelf life for an opened mascara.

Echolife Rose Facial Mist - I’ve already moved on to my replacement bottle of lavender mist, just in time for the cooler weather.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer - This is my holy grail concealer. I tend to go through a tube once every couple of months, unless the tube I’m using breaks; which they are prone to do.

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser - I’ve been using this every night to remove my makeup before cleansing with my proper facial cleanser.

32) Rimmel Scandal Eyes Mascara – I think I won this mascara in a twitter competition hosted by Priceline some time last year. It was nothing special, the brush was huge and the mascara itself was pretty basic. Let it be known that I hate this bright orange packaging with the fire of a thousand suns.

33) Stila Forever Your Curl Mascara – This deluxe sample was a gift with purchase from a Sephora order that I placed last year. Again it was nothing special, and although I like the shape of the brush I’m not sure if it would translate to a full sized version. For now I’m staying faithful to my holy grail – Lancome Hypnose.

34) Seven Wonders Moroccan Treatment Conditioner – LOL look how gross that looks. For some reason I went through this conditioner way faster than the shampoo. In fact the shampoo seems to be getting fuller and fuller every time I use it. Magic. Anyhoo, I found that if I used this and the shampoo too often during the week my hair developed quite a bit of build up. At this stage I don’t think I’ll be repurchasing this.

35) Bath + Body Works Hand Soap in Fresh Market Apple – Another month down, another hand soap finished. I’m still undecided as to whether I will keep purchasing these or try to source something a bit cheaper.

36) AB Cosmetics Pressed Powder in Light Beige – I was really enjoying this powder until I dropped the compact and smashed it in the bathtub about two weeks after I starting using it. *cue blood curdling scream*

27: Bath + Body Works Fresh Picked Raspberries Anti-Bac Hand Soap – The foaming hand soaps from Bath and Body Works are my favourite, but they’re a bit of a pain to have shipped here from the US so I might have to start searching for an alternative soon. This was one of the nicest scents from the range that I’ve tried so far.

28: Korres Milk Protein Cleansing Face Wipes – I didn’t like these wipes at all. They seemed to irritate my skin quite a bit, and my face stayed red for about hour each time I used one. I’ll be sticking to my Nivea fragrance free wipes from now on.

29: Face of Australia Loose Powder in Outback Translucent – This is my favourite inexpensive loose powder, but I had to emergency-buy a Maybelline powder one day on my way to work so I’ll be trying to finish that up before repurchasing this one. I think this is the second full size Face of Australia loose powder that I’ve used up, which feels like a bit of an achievement.

30: Bali Soap in Passion Fruit – I don’t know why I thought it was a good idea to buy soap while in Bali but I did. I bought 4 or 5 of these bars in different scents and I’m forcing myself to use them up. Nothing special.

31: L’Oreal Preference Conditioner – Another token freebie-with-hair dye conditioner.

I decided at the beginning of Project 100 Pan that any favourite/holy grail products that I finished and repurchased would not be included in the tally of finished products. So here are some of the items that I repurchase time and time again:

Boscia Blotting Linens - These are my all time favourite blotting papers. I’ve tried the tea tree, peppermint, lavender and the normal kind and I love them all. A must have for any shiny faced gals like myself.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer - This is my favourite concealer and I never remember which shade I am when I’m in store, so I tend to alternate between buying Fair and Light. Both work on my skin, it’s just that one shade is more yellow based than the other.

Givenchy Photo Perfexion Foundation in Perfect Ivory - Holy Grail Foundation. Please don’t discontinue this, Givenchy. I love it.

Skindanavia No More Shine Makeup Finish Spray - I use this every day to set my makeup. What I like most about it is that it takes the ‘powder’ makeup look away and leaves my face looking fresh.

Echolife Lavender/Rose Facial Mist - I rotate between the lavender and rose mist depending on the season and what I feel like my skin needs. I finished up the lavender mist at the end of winter and have been using the rose version ever since.

22 & 23: L’Oreal Elvive Total Repair Shampoo and Conditioner – I bought these on a whim a little while ago because I’d seen the brand on Kimberley’s blog and knew that she liked the products she had tried. Unfortunately this shampoo/conditioner duo did absolutely nothing for my hair. I won’t be repurchasing these and I don’t think I’ll bother trying anything else from this line either.

24: Haus Of Gloi Honey Tree Pumpkin Butter – I like the Haus of Gloi pumpkin butters but the smell becomes really overpowering about halfway through the jar and it’s a real struggle for me to finish them. This one smelled lovely though, like honey but with a hint of incense. It gave me flashbacks to my teen years when I was obsessed with Romeo & Juliet (read: Leonardo DiCaprio) and used to burn candles and incense in my room after being inspired by the film.

25: Mai Couture Vitamin C Blotting Paper – I liked these blotting sheets, they were gentle on my skin and did a good job of removing oil build up without affecting my makeup. I have a couple of spare Boscia packets in my cupboard and once I’ve finished those up I would consider repurchasing these.

26: Bath & Body Works Fresh Picked Pears Anti-Bac Foaming Hand Soap – Hand soap is hand soap, but the fresh picked pears scent is one of my favourites. I will definitely be repurchasing this product in this scent at some point in the future.
