Post #24: 13 by Halloween - October Project Pan FINALE

This is my 13 by Halloween Project Pan finale. As of October 31st:

1. Make Up For Ever Ultra HD foundation, sample packet. I am considering purchasing a full size of this product - two uses and done 10/04/17

2. Clinique Foundation Sample, small vial. It had good coverage, but wasn't the best for oil control, but in Clinique's defense this was an old sample - 10.5 uses and done 10/18/17

3. Stila Stay All Day waterproof liquid eyeliner NOT done by 10/31

4. It Cosmetics Hello Lashes! - eh, not my favorite formula of mascara, but I gave it a fair test. done 10/21/17

5. Theorie Marula Oil Hair Serum - deluxe sample from ipsy. Definitely not interested in purchasing a full size, the benefits weren't that noticeable - 12 uses and done 10/14/17

6. GlamGlow GlowStarter - Nude Glow illuminating moisturizer - deluxe sample from Sephora (note: illuminating is right! I was so shiny after using it) Does not shine through my foundation. roughly 16 uses and done 10/25/17

7. Perricone MD H2 Elemental Energy Hydrating Cloud Cream - deluxe sample from Sephora. I think, depending on the price I would consider purchasing a full size of this. It was light and hydrating - 2 weeks of use (twice a day) and done 10/14/17

8. GlamGlow Volcasmic matte glow moisturizer - deluxe sample from Sephora - so thick and pasty, I am not sure if I am a fan... so after the first few uses I started scooping it out with my pallet knife and rubbing it in my hands before applying it to my face/neck. That helped but it was still more greasy feeling than I would like for under my makeup. I would only use it as a night cream or on days I don't wear makeup if I were to repurchase - 7 uses and done 10/17/17

9. Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask - sample from Sephora - I didn't like or dislike this product, won't be purchasing - 2 uses and done 10/18/17

10. Mud Masky purifying recovery mask - deluxe sample from ipsy - I liked the exfoliation of this mask, but I am not really a face mask person. Though for reference, using it before showering I found was the best, that way you didn't miss washing off any of the product. 6 uses and done 10/28/17

11. Avene Mattifying toner - deluxe sample from ipsy - I don't think I noticed anything caused/helped by the toner, but I am going to keep using toner moving forward (I bought Dickinson's Witch Hazel toner) - roughly 34 uses and done 10/17/17

12. Nars Velvet Matte lip pencil, Cruella - deluxe sample from Sephora. I already have a full size of this, so I will continue working through this sample [you will see it again in another project pan] (Birthday gift 2015). Still a great color and I love the lasting power. It is drying on the lips by the end of the day. I consider myself to have a high tolerance to lip discomfort so it doesn't bother me. (The discomfort sets in after 6-8 hours of wear.) NOT done by 10/31

13. Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Natural N9. I started pairing this color with my Nabi lip liner in Mahogany to give it more 'oomph' which I will continue doing until I finish. NOT done by 10/31

Post #16: My Pan Project

Start Date: June 28, 2017

On the evening of June 27th, I went through my makeup and decluttered (aka threw out) some mascaras and eyeshadows (5 mascaras, 3 eyeshadow pallets). I also set aside a number of products that I added to my first ever Pan Project list. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term Pan Project, it is something that has been circling in the YouTube Makeup Artist community, where you commit to finishing products, aka "Hit pan," before purchasing new makeup. I have quite a bit of makeup, so I thought this would be a good think for me to do. Also, before posting this I went through my lip product drawer and decluttered a couple lip glosses (They were more gloopy than glossy) and some lip stains (they were dried up).

My List

Mascaras:
1. Clinique High Impact Mascara (2) [These I took from makeup that my sister was decluttering]
2. Elizabeth Arden Ceramide [I have had this one since 2012]
3. Smashbox eyelash Primer [I have had this one since 2013]
4. Makeup Forever Smoky Extravagant [This one I have only had for a little over a year, it is one of my favorite mascaras so I should be able to use it up easy enough]
The remainder of this section are trial sizes:
5. Makeup Forever Smokey Extravagant [This might be empty already, but I need to double check]
6. Benefit's They're Real [My second favorite mascara, it is probably nearly finished]
7. it Cosmetics Superhero [Just got it in my May Ipsy bag]
8. The Balm Mad Lash [couple months old - from an Ipsy bag]
9. it Cosmetics Hello Lashes! [got this one because I bought an it Cosmetic's set at Ulta]
10. Our Fully Charged Magnetic Mascara [got this one in June's Ipsy bag, so it is brand new]

Eyeliners:
1. Kat Von D tattoo liquid liner [turns out it was dried out, so I trashed it. Luckily, it was only a sample size.] DONE 06/29/17
2. Rimmel Scandal-eyes kohl in Nude, pencil eyeliner
3. Makeup Forever XL eye pencil in Black [sample size, from I don't even know how long ago]

Eyeshadows:
1. Rimmel Quad Eyeshadow
2. Avon [one color]
3. Maybelline Casual Look - Browntones
4. Loreal Wear Infinite - Mocha Buff
5. Color Design [four set]
6. Loreal Wear Infinite - Rose Petals

Concealer/Powder/Foundation [thankfully some darker colors, because I am currently tan]:
1. Clinique Airbrush Concealer
2. Covergirl powder foundation - classic beige
3. Covergirl classic beige foundation
4. Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder [I should try re-potting this one; it is all broken up]
5. Neutrogena buff foundation
6. Neutrogena buff pressed powder
7. Sephora pressed powder
8. it Cosmetics foundation medium [sample size] DONE 07/04/17
9. Loreal foundation sand beige

NonMakeup
1. Herbal Essences Dry Shampoo DONE 06/30/17
2. Garnier Skin Renew cream

So as I said, I made this list on the evening of June 27th, and officially started on June 28th. Though, I realized on the morning of June 29th I used eyeshadow from my Smashbox Strobe Effect pallet instead of the eyeshadows I was supposed to be using. But here is to using up what I already have, instead of buying more!

I hope to do an update in about six months, just before the New Year, but with the foundations: here's hoping I get through them before my tan fades.

PS After I am done cataloging my lipsticks, I have a couple sample sized lipsticks to add to the next round of my Pan Project.
