July Empties/Project 20 Pan Update

\ 1 Comment \ by

July was not too bad of a month as far as empties were concerned. Having said that, I can pretty much say that my venture into Project 20 Pan territory was a bust. I’ve been a total failure when it comes to non-spending on beauty products lately. Ahh well, such is life. In any case, here is my updated (and completed) tally –

01: Sebastian Hydre Shampoo
02: Sebastian Hydre Conditioner
03: Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Orchid & Coconut Milk Shampoo
04: Yves St Laurent Touche Eclat
05: Givenchy Photo Perfexion Foundation
06: Lancome Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover
07: Neutrogena Oil-Free Fresh Moisture Ultra Light Moisturiser
08: Bath + Body Works Black Raspberry Vanilla Foaming Hand Soap
09: Bath + Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar Shower Gel
10: Stila Sheer Colour Tinted Moisturiser in Bare
11: Flourish Lip Balm in Ginger Peach
12: Pantene Mystery Shampoo / Conditioner (travel size)
13: Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist
14: YSL Faux Cils Mascara
15: Fekkai Sheer Shine Glossing Mist
16: Jemma Kidd On Set Mattifying Powder in Light
17: The Body Shop Coconut Shower Cream
18: Lancome Hypnose Mascara in Noir Infini
19: Lee Stafford Dry Shampoo
20: Ultraceuticals Even Skintone Serum

May Empties / Project 10 Pan Update

\ 7 Comments \ by

I have decided to upgrade my Project 10 Pan to a Project 20 Pan. I have already finished up 7 full sized products in one month (and accidentally bought 3 new ones, shh…) so I figure I might as well go all in for the long haul. Finished up in May:

01: Sebastian Hydre Shampoo
02: Sebastian Hydre Conditioner
03: Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Orchid & Coconut Milk Shampoo
04: Yves St Laurent Touche Eclat
05: Givenchy Photo Perfexion Foundation
06: Lancome Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover
07: Neutrogena Oil-Free Fresh Moisture Ultra Light Moisturiser
Samples: Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Recovery Mask

Not a bad effort for one month!

Project 10 Pan

\ 7 Comments \ by

The time has come to embark on another Project 10 Pan. I usually force myself on to these when I’ve been spending way too frivolously on cosmetic items that I don’t necessarily need. This week I ordered a makeup palette that contains products that I’m pretty sure I already have dupes of in my collection. But gosh isn’t it pretty? Anyway, it seemed like a good time to start up a Project 10 Pan as I want to start saving for my upcoming trips to Sydney, Bali and the US that will be happening over the next year and a half. So this P10P will encompass all beauty products (makeup, skin care, hair care and body products) and will only include products that I don’t plan on repurchasing straight after finishing the first one up. I used to include those sorts of products in the past, but it doesn’t really make much sense when the purpose is to try and use up some of the products in my stash that never see the light of day. So here we go! Each end of month “empties” post will now also double as a Project 10 Pan update post. Wish me luck!

Project 10 Pan Update / February Empties

\ 2 Comments \ by

My Project 10 Pan so far including what I managed to finish up in February:

01: Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Seasilk Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner (travel sized)
02: L’Oreal Preference High Shine Colour Conditioner
03: Lancome Hypnose Mascara
04: NARS Sheer Matte Foundation in Siberia / Givenchy Photo Perfexion Foundation in Perfect Ivory
05: Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Grapefruit
06: Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner
07: Dermalogica Precleanse
08: Bath + Body Works Exotic Coconut Body Lotion
09: Pantene 3 Minute Miracle

One more to go! I’ve not been completely on-track this month, which is frustrating but I only have myself to blame! I do admit to purchasing a few things from yet another fellow beauty blogger’s blog sale. But I think it’s good to support friends and co-bloggers, right? Right. I will continue use that to justify my purchases…

Project 10 Pan Update / January Empties

\ 4 Comments \ by

Finished up in January:

01: Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Seasilk Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner (travel sized)
02: L’Oreal Preference High Shine Colour Conditioner
03: Lancome Hypnose Mascara
04: NARS Sheer Matte Foundation in Siberia / Givenchy Photo Perfexion Foundation in Perfect Ivory

I put the two foundations together and counted them as one product because neither of the bottles had a lot of product remaining in them, and I felt guilty counting them separately. I’ve not been 100% dedicated to the cause this month either, and I sneakily bought myself a bottle of Kosmea Rosehip Oil, Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel and MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Porcelain Pink from Jess’ Blog Sale. Now watch me justify… I had completely run out of the Kosmea Rosehip Oil, and as it is one of my HG products, I needed it back in my routine asap. The cleanser was purchased because I will run out of the current cleanser that I’m using in a week or so and don’t want to have to wait for my new cleanser to be shipped here – pre-emptive strike. And as for the MAC… Well no money was exchanged as Jess also wanted some things from my blog sale, so really it’s a swap and not a purchase and therefore doesn’t count! Hooray! Bring on February.
