100 Empties Project (UPDATE 5)

Finally I reached 70 empties and still going slow. The struggle is real. With bad skin condition, busiest week ever and some problems, I proudly present my #61 to #70

61. Urban Decay Potion Primer (set with UD NYC Palette)
- I have discussed it in my project pan update..

62. Make Up For Ever Smoky Lash Mascara Green
- same with no 61

63. SK-II Cellumination Aura Essence
- My favorite essence so far.. It is not first bottle, also not a second or third.. 😁 It does brightening my skin

64. YSL Forever Youth Liberator Night Cream Sample

65. Pola Eyemask
- (again..)

66. Bath and Body Works Travel Bath Paris Amour
- I love their product including this travel bath. The scent is not the most favorite, but it is okay. The smell last quite long on me.

67. Bath and Body Works Travel Bath Dark Kiss
- The scent is not my favorite too and the smell does not last as long as Paris Amour, but it is still okay. I love using it.

68. Bath and Body Works Candle Lemon Mint Leaf
- Accidentally leaving room (for cooking, house cleaning etc) without blowing it off.. That's a quick finish and my room smells so good. A tiny candle vs my 70 square meter main bedroom and the candle wins. 😊

69. Skin 79 All Day Sun Powder
- Will discuss in next project pan update

70. Clinique Derma White Foundation

100 Empties Project (UPDATE 4)

This post is about my number 51 to 60. I have finished no 60 few days ago but had no time to write. And I forget to tell you before, all products included in my list should be purchased before I started this project. For example, if I bought a bottle of shampoo after I started this project and now I had finished that, it would not be included in the list. I won't write about it. Because my goal is to finish products that I bought before I started the project and keep me stay away from buying a new one. Can you picture it? Okay, let's move to #51

51. Clinique Lip Balm
Finally finished! It is also included in my project pan. I'm working on Marks & Spencer Lip Butter now. But it is a huge one, long way to go. 😁

52. Guerlain L'or Base Sample
I love glowing skin and this product could do the job well. It is my second favorite (together with meteorites pearl base) after Burberry Fresh Glow

53. Marks & Spencer Senteurs Blanche Body Lotion
I do LOVE the smell. It is soft, creamy, and romantic! I have finish the body cream long time ago. It is not sticky at all but it is not too moisturizing, so I don't use it when my skin condition is too dry. But on my normal days, this lotion is nice enough to make me repurchase. Oh, and the shower cream is definitely LOVE!

54. Kerastase Age Recharge Hair Mask
My favorite brand for hairmask is Kerastase (absolutely!). It is a huge jar and takes months to finish. Repurchase soon after finish other jars of mine.

55. Etude Kiwi Face Mask
It is okay. I put inside fridge overnight and have a hate-love relationship when it touches my skin (like you put an ice cube in your face 😨), but it is so refreshing that I keep on doing. 😂

56. Clinique Blended Face Powder
Part of my project pan, months to finish even when you use it everyday. Good for daily use and love to pair it with my Sigma F80 brush.

57. The Faceshop Peeling Day White Jewel
Too soft to scrub my dead skin cell but it helps to cleanse my skin well. I'm not wear it everyday. Just twice a week.

58. The Body Shop Ginger Sparkle Handcream
Bought this on sale. The only handcream still available that time. I don't know why I bought this (I don't like gingery smell). It keeps my hands moisturized though. Maybe purchase another scent, but I want to try L'occitane or Crabtree Evelyn first.. (After finish my Caudalie trio)

59. Oriflame Feet Up Foot Cream
Bought this on 50% off. No big difference happened to my foot. I still have 1 more tube and want it gone soon before I open my body butter back up.

60. Shiseido Honey Cake Emerald Soap
This is one of hidden treasures when I did house cleaning 2 weeks ago. I maybe have this for almost a year already and it's time for her to go. (All this time sitting in one of my storage, quietly, waiting for me to use!)

I'm running out of empties and slowing down. Because of my hectic days lately, I almost didn't wear make up or skincare or body lotion. I'm going bare for days. But I have to finish this project, I should back on track and show you more empties soon. See you on next post (I hope it is about more empties) 😙

Project Pan (Update 4)

Start : 4 March 2015
Update 2 : 8 March 2015
Update 3 : 14 March 2015
Update 4 : 21 March 2015

Some empties, some pan, and a change.. 🎀

1. Clinique Blended Face Powder
Start at 30%, FINISHED (20 Mar 2015)

2. Skin79 All Day Sun Powder
Start at 45%, now is 37% remaining
Use :  everyday
Note : Since I have finished that Clinique powder, now I will focus in finishing this thing. I'm sure will show faster progress from now on.

3. Clinique Derma White Foundation
Start at 50%, now is 40% remaining
Use : 5x
Note : My skin getting tired because I'm using heavy make up daily since the project started. So I skip foundation for two days this week and my skin get better already. Will continue to use this tomorrow.

4. The Balm Mary-Loumanizer
Start at 92%, now is 90% remaining
Use : everyday
Note : It cracked and broken (agaiinnn!!). The dipping sign has gone and I'm frustated because I couldn't see my effort to finish this each time I do repressing.

Change to the list (start from 22 Mar 2015)
I'm so sorry, but I have to replace this with another product (I won't finish this maybe in 2 years even when I use this higlighter twice a day).

a. Marks and Spencer Raspberry Lip Butter
Start at 90%
Note: It is quite a lot for a lip products (10 grams!!). For comparison, the normal lipstick would be 3gr in size, so this is quite big. The only reason I pick this lip butter is because of the size. Mary Lou is 8gr so I'm looking for something more than 8gr. I won't pick blusher or powder or eyeshadow since I still have another to finish. This is the only thing I could think of.

b. Benefit Porefessional 22ml
Start at 90%
Note: And because I don't supposed to change anything in the list, I made my own punishment. I have to pick 1 more product to finish. And I choose Benefit Porefessional which is almost new. I rarely use this because I don't like how it feels on my skin. But punishment is still punishment. I will finish this in one or two months. 😆

5. Urban Decay Primer Potion Original
Start at 30%, now is 14% remaining
Use : 5x
Note : Difficult to pick, not much products remaining.. Almoossstt!!

6. Guerlain Meteorites Base Pink
Start at 40%, FINISHED (15 Mar 2015)

7. Oriflame Pure Colour Eyeshadow Netral
Start at 90%, now is 88% remaining
Use : everyday
Note : Huge difference!! Hit pan on no 7 (17 Mar 2015) and get a bigger pan today since I stop using my ABH Pomade and use no 7 as my eyebrow powder too. Quite like the result and will continue until this pan finished.
Today I hitpan on no 5 and it feels good. Once you hit pan, everything will be easier. My next goal is to finish no 7 and hitpan on no 3.

8. Etude House Peach Blush
Start at 40%, now is 32% remaining
Use : everyday
Note : I will not move any other blush to Z Palette anymore. The powder spread all over my Z and fall over some eyeshadows. I end up with 'pick and put' system everytime I'm using this. Before using this blush, I pick it from the Z palette, use it, and put it back after I finish. Hahaha.. The pan is getting wider and some powder in bottom left side has gone. Lucky this is a soft color blush. I use it like crazy, as much as I can, and won't overdo. 😁

9. Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade Ebony
Start at 80%, now 78% remaining
Use : 1x
Note : Focus in finishing my Oriflame Eyeshadow no 7 which I use as brow powder too..

10. NYX Liquid Illuminator Gleam
Start at 40%, now is 33% remaining
Use : 5x
Note : Last time I tried to use it as much as I can. I think it would be more longlasting. The color is soft so don't be afraid if you got 'slapped face' after using a lot. But, when you apply too much and you are sweating hard (just like me, I'm easy to sweat), the texture isn't nice anymore. Some will stay in your skin, some will not. So you will end up having an uneven skintone. Euuuhhh!!

11. Make Up Forever Aqua Cream shade 16
Start at 68%, now is 60% remaining
Use : 5x
Note: -

12. NYX Slide On, Glide On Black Sparkle
Start at 60%, now is 58% remaining
Use : everyday
Note : Sharpened 1x and it is on the 'U' of 'TURN' now

13. Clinique Balm Lipstick
Start at 40%, FINISHED (16 Mar 2015)

14. Dior Fluid Stick Sample
Start at 35%,  FINISHED (6 Mar 15)

15. Make Up Forever Smoky Lash Green
Start at 50%, now is 40% remaining
Use : 5x
Note : When the UDPP finished, I will throw this mascara together with it. The texture is not as good as it was.

FINISHED : 4 / 16

STRUGGLE : Bad skin condition and the always-cracking-MaryLou

CHEATING : -

SPECIAL NOTES :
Changed Mary Lou with M&S Lip Butter and Benefit Porefessional

Update 2 : 8 March 2015
Update 3 : 14 March 2015

1. Clinique Blended Face Powder
Start at 30%, now is 10% remaining
Use : everyday
Note : Almost there!!!!

2. Skin79 All Day Sun Powder

Use :  everyday
Note : Still nothing. 😥

3. Clinique Derma White Foundation
Start at 50%, now is 45% remaining
Use : 5x

Start at 92%, now is 91% remaining
Use : everyday
Note : See the arrow! Finally some signs of wearing.. Still, long way to go..

Start at 30%, now is 18% remaining
Use : 5x
Note : almost finish! Wait one or two more weeks

6. Guerlain Meteorites Base Pink
Start at 40%, FINISHED
Use : 1 times
Note: Last update I wrote it could be used for 2 more times. From the amount of the pearl, yes it is correct to assume 2x. But in reality I only could use it for 1x. Then after that, I pumped NOTHING despite there are still some pearls inside. I am the one who always finish something till the last drop. It drives me insane trying to pump it out. Finally I gave up and throw it away, considering it is finished.

7. Oriflame Pure Colour Eyeshadow Netral
Start at 90%, now is 88% remaining
Use : everyday
Note : Depotted on March 11. Moved to my new Z Palette. Some damaged to the powder especially number 7, the one I'm currently panning. I already use a lot before that depotting incident happened. (See no 5 for comparison). There are some scratch too in number 1, 6, and 8. But it is no big deal. (Read my story about My First Z Palette).

8. Etude House Peach Blush
Start at 40%, now is 37% remaining
Use : everyday
Note : Some scratch when depotting but not much. Nothing too damaged. I used a lot of this blush. See the powder in the bottom left! And other sides show wider pan too!!

9. Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade Ebony
Start at 80%, now 78% remaining
Use : 5x
Note : No bigger pan since I'm start using the surface

10. NYX Liquid Illuminator Gleam

Use : 5x
Note : Try to find how much is the remaining cream. Still got a lot! 😆

11. Make Up Forever Aqua Cream shade 16
Start at 68%, now is 62% remaining
Use : 5x
Note: Picture speaks for itself!

12. NYX Slide On, Glide On Black Sparkle
Start at 60%, now is 59% remaining
Use : everyday
Note : Sharpened 1x and it is on the 'N' of 'TURN' now

13. Clinique Balm Lipstick
Start at 40%, now is 7% remaining
Use : everyday
Note : Took longer than expected. I didn't know that I have to use another 1cm before I could see the pan.

14. Dior Fluid Stick Sample
Start at 35%,  FINISHED (6 Mar 15)

15. Make Up Forever Smoky Lash Green
Start at 50%, now is 45% remaining
Use : 5x
Note : When the UDPP finished, I will throw this mascara together with it. The texture is not as good as it was.

STRUGGLE : Not as hard as first week since I am now allowed to use any lipstick that I want after finish that Dior Sample. But for 4 days of 6 days I wear only my Clinique Balm without any lipstick 😁

CHEATING : I didn't use other products except for lipstick. I used Marc Jacobs Surrender Dorothy and Sephora Red Essence. (Read my Looks using Project Pan Things)

My First Z Palette

This is the first time to do make up depotting. I have done it on March 11 but didn't have time to write on blog.

I'm sorry because of my unprofessionality I forget to capture my tools and the products before they were depotted..

I'm not the kind of person to move something from where it should be. I mean I actually don't like the idea of depotting my make up from the original palette. For me, it lost the beauty after we move it to another empty palette.

For this case, I picked some make up with packaging that I don't really love. (I definitely WOULD NOT depotting my Chanel or my Dior or Guerlain or any medium to high end products). I only depot cheap and low end products which are just a few left now.

So here they are :

THE PRODUCTS

1. Oriflame Pure Color Eyeshadow Neutral

One of my Project Pan Items. I hate that it doesn't fit into just one row. And eyeshadow number 8 have to be put under Menard Trio. I tried to put number 8 under no 1, not good. Then move under number 7, also not good. Tried to move number 7 and 8 in the second row, I don't like.

It is too messy for the rest of products from other brands. I love being well organized and my Z Palette is no exception. I see most people don't care about how they arrange their Z Palette and just put everything inside without organizing as long as they fit into the palette and it makes me frustrated. Some people will think that I do unnecessary thing. But I DO care! If I want to move something from their original place, it better be a better place. 😊

I choose this one because it should be gone by this year. I'm panning it slowly. So it is okay for me to move it from original case since the case is not so pretty too.

2. Etude House Peach Blush Powder

Another Project Pan thing. The original case is actually okay. Only you can see the ages from the scratch on the case. It is one of the oldest blush I have and I have brought it everywhere in the past. Hahaha

The original case got the pan itself and there is also place for fan brush under the pan, so it quite bulky. Now I never use the brush since it is not soft anymore. I hope to finish this soon. I guess she found a better home now.

3. Menard Trio Eyeshadow

I don't like the packaging. It reminds me of the elder make up from yearsss ago. Hahaha.. In reality, the quality of the eyeshadow is good. The color is nice too. The only complaint is the packaging. I'm happy to move this into my Small Z.

4. Etude Mono Eyeshadow

The original case was damaged when I accidentally dropped it and it can't be clicked again. To move it is a good idea. Plus it gives my Z a colorful look!

THE PROCESS

I never do depotting before and I'm to lazy to watch on youtube since my internet connection is not so friendly with me.
At first I only use my aromatheraphy candle and a tweezer to do this.

Unfortunately a tweezer didn't work well and it causes some damage to the powder. Show you in the picture. So I pick a Safety Pin and use it to pick out the pan. It works well. But it's too late, some damage already happened.

The big damage is on Oriflame pan number 7. I did the best that I can to save it. I repressed the powder that was out from it back to the pan. I lost some powder from this pan but I think it is no big deal. Nothing is perfect on the first try right?

Another damages are just small damage like only small scratch to the powder. And the good news is most of the products are perfectly moved without any damage. Now I'm a happy girl!

Thank you for reading and I will show you this palette on my project pan update. See you!!

Some Make Up Looks using Project Pan Items

As you know, I have made myself engaged in a project pan. I chose 15 make up related items to finish by this year. So it means that I have to use that 15 items daily till the last swipe. After my Dior Fluid Sample finished last week, I don't have lipstick in the list. So I rotate some of my old collection to use with the rest of project pan buddies. I pick 3 different looks this weeks. Let me show you.

1. Only with Clinique Lip Balm
This balm is include in the list. So with or without lipstick is no difference for me, I still use this like crazy. For this week make up at home I prefer to use this balm without any additional lipstick. It does make your lips appear to be more pink since it comes in pink colour. I mean a good natural pinkie lips

2. Marc Jacobs Surrender Dorothy
First time use this lippie and I'm in love. I love the bright orange color on this shade. The texture and pigmentation is nice. Can't wait to try another shades next week. I promised to use all my untouched, so another MJ lippie is on my list.

3. Sephora Rouge Infusion Red Essence
Include in Sephora Puckerlicious, this comes in travel size. I don't like the packaging and I don't have confidence to go out wearing this color. But I am too lazy today, so I grabbed the first thing on my sight. Texture okay. Smell okay. Long lasting. Price not too expensive. Overall it is a good one
