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

Project Pan (Update 3)

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

Updating now since I can't do it tomorrow. I have full job to do so can't take picture or write in blog. 😊

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

2. Skin79 All Day Sun Powder
Start at 45%, now is 40% remaining
Use :  everyday
Note : Still nothing. 😥

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

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

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
Start at 40%, now is 36% remaining
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

100 Empties Project - UPDATE 3

Here's another 15 empties so far.. Finding it more difficult since most products are still full. It definitely takes longer than finishing previous items. But I still believe I would finish this by end of July, maybe faster.

36. Alcazar Magic Pearl Milk Scrub - Pure Milk
It is in Pure Milk scent but I smell some fruity fragrance which is soooo nice. I do love the result too. My skin feel so soft after using it. I just have to be more careful since this scrub is rough. We don't want to scrub to hard with this.

37. Tony Moly Egg Pores
Does nothing to me. The only thing I love is the packaging. It is like a cracking egg and it is so cute. I could use the case to put my paperclips.. 😁

38. The Body Shop Sparkling Apple
I tend to not using things that someone special gave to me because I value it too much and afraid that it would be finish. Like this one is from my hubby (was boyfriend). But as time goes by, the scent is fading too. I had to finish this before it is going bad.

39. Victoria's Secret Lost in Fantasy Body Cream
Another body product. After finishing some lotions last round, I am proud to finish this one too. Will post another lotion in next round.

40. The Soap Corner Brush Best Friend
It is great. Local brand with a quality. My only complaint is the smell. Because of it brings natural ingredients, there is part of the scent that I don't like. Considering to repurchase.

41. Etude House Broccolli Mask
Cool. Refreshing. 1 sachet for 3x use. I have to store in fridge and not forget to use it up. I have ever forgotten to use and months passed and I threw it away because I'm afraid it get contaminated (it is not a skincare fridge, it got fruit, veggie, milk etc inside). Hope that it would come with the size for 1x use per sachet.

42. ROC Sunblock SPF50
I love this product and have one more tube as back up. I have use this since I was in junior high school. My skin is sensitive to sunblock and some products leave burning sensation to my skin, but this one is not. I found Clinique Even Better is useable for me too and now in progress of finishing.

43. Pola Eye Mask
Another Pola Eye Mask. Will finish entire stock in April.

44. Candle Green Apple
Better than the Blueberry (review on update 1). Will finish my BBW candle next.

45. SK-II Lotion Sample
Comes in a set with FTE 75ml and mask. Tried to finish all my samples. It is okay, but I still prefer my Clinique lotion.

46. Guerlain Meteorites Pink Base Sample
One of my favorite face primer.

47. Tarte Maracuja Oil
Bought this because of some skin break out. Since my skin is in good condition, using this is actually not so enjoyable. The oil feeling, you know. Maybe I'll thinking about this when my ages reach late 30s. Hahaha..

48. Clinique Moisture Surge Face Spray Travelsize
Told you how much I love this spray. Now is time to use another regular size. 😃

49. Clinique Micro Motion C Serum
It supposed to work on dark spots. My husband said my dark spot a little bit fading. It is working slowly but I guess nothing instant is good. Considering to repurchase.

50. Oriflame Nature Secret
It is a bonus from Oriflame. Put this inside my storage and forget it for about a year. Was cleaning my house last week and found this hidden treasure. It's okay but I have many soap that I love more than this.

In fact I finished more hotel amenities but I decided not to count them this time since I want to make it more challenging and to show you more different products. Just to remind me, I finished 2 bathfoam, 1 bathsoap, 2 shampoo, and 1 toothpaste.

For the rest 50 items will be slower than this. So I will update it each 10 items finished.

Project Pan Progress 2

Start : 4 March 2015
Update 2 : 8 March 2015

I decided to update it every weekend. I know it hasn't been a week yet, but I'm afraid I won't have time to update on weekdays. Okay, let's see what I have achieved in 5 days..

1. Clinique Blended Face Powder
Start at 30%, now is 20% remaining
Use : everyday
Note : You can see big difference in the amount of powder. Will be finished in maximum 2 weeks from now.

2. Skin79 All Day Sun Powder
Start at 45%, now is 43% remaining
Use : 4 times
Note : No signs of emptying. Finishing powder always took ages to finish!

3. Clinique Derma White Foundation
Start at 50%, now is 48% remaining
Use : everyday
Note : No big difference

4. The Balm Mary-Loumanizer
Start at 92%, now is 92% remaining
Use : everyday
Note : Told ya! Maybe 2 years to see the pan. Hahaha.. And because I have to repress it on regular basis, there will be no signs of dipping 😅

5. Urban Decay Primer Potion Original
Start at 30%, now is 25% remaining
Use : everyday
Note : Will finish soon maybe in 2 weeks.  Feel that it is more difficult to pick the cream.

6. Guerlain Meteorites Base Pink
Start at 40%, now is 15% remaining
Use : 3 times
Note: Will finish in 2 days. Getting more difficult to pump since it almost finished, have to knock it on the table before each pumping. It should be finished today, but always forget to use it. Just remember after using foundie. Hahaha..

7. Oriflame Pure Colour Eyeshadow Netral
Start at 90%, now is 89% remaining
Use : everyday
Note : Using the left side more often than the right one. Can you see the difference in number 5 and 7??? This is so exciting!! Of course I'm gonna show you more in next update.

8. Etude House Peach Blush
Start at 40%, now is 39% remaining
Use : everyday
Note : Small signs of wearing. You can see the pan appeared slightly bigger than when the project started. I'm in love with this blush. Really. BUT I'm dying to wear my other blushes too 😧

9. Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade Ebony
Start at 80%, now 79% remaining
Use : everyday
Note : Definitely a bigger pan!

10. NYX Liquid Illuminator Gleam
Start at 40%, now is 38% remaining
Use : everyday
Note : Can't see through the packaging. So I'm assuming it decreases by 2%. Wear this after foundie and before Clinique powder. The powder helps to cover imperfection and this cream makes Etude blush go stronger. Forget about my complaint at the beginning. Let's enjoy wearing this cream! It has to be going with the right 'friends'..

11. Make Up Forever Aqua Cream shade 16
Start at 68%, now is 65% remaining
Use : everyday
Note: big pan showing! Hit pan only a day after the project started

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

13. Clinique Balm Lipstick
Start at 40%, now is 10% remaining
Use : everyday
Note : Wearing it like crazy. In the mornings, at nights, and sometimes in between. My lips touched the case already and it feels unpleasant, so starting from today I will be using my Elf Retractable lip brush. Of course this balm will be gone soon.

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

15. Make Up Forever Smoky Lash Green
Start at 50%, now is 48% remaining
Use : Everyday
Note : focusing on finishing this mascara. The good thing about this mascara is it's easy to get removed. Only few swipes and it's gone completely. I hate mascara that difficult to remove and make my eyes like panda.

STRUGGLE : No big deal in first week. Only that I want to use other blushes so baaadd, but it's okay though, I can do this and I have to finish the project I started.

CHEATING : I didn't use any product other than the one stated in the list! I didn't wear lipstick for 2 days, only that Clinique lipbalm

SPECIAL NOTES :

I appologize there is CHANGE OF RULES

The one that is not suitable for me is replacing the finished product with a new one. I think it is better to finish all 15 products then only we start with another batch of project pan.

That's all I could share in this update. I will be sharing soon my looks when wearing my project pan products.. Have a nice weekend my friends
