June Empties and Project 50 Pan Update

Hey all, 

I went through a lot of products this month, and I mean A LOT! Being on Project 50 Pan, I was very determined to get rid of all the products clogging up my shelves. I had a lot of products that were nearly  empty, but just didn't seem to make it over the line.

Well, they are gone now. 

I used a total of 28 products this month, bringing my Project 50 Pan total so far to 48. 2 months later and 2 more products to go? Well, this went a lot quicker than expected! I have been surprised at my willpower over the past couple of months, and have not bought anything at all (except replacements). I do have a wish list from here to the moon though! 

Here are the empties from this month!

Now that you realise it can be done in just over two months, who wants to give it a try?!

Hope you all have a great night! xx

Shopping My Stash

Hey all,

This post is going to be short and sweet, as I have been feeling very under the weather for the last few days. I still wanted to share with all of you though! 

I'm not going to lie, I have a very large make up collection. Friends and family are always harping at me to 'start some sort of business', or looking at me as though I am insane (probably just a little). Having a large number of products, I have found that many end up becoming lost and forgotten; and sometimes feel guilty that not all my products are getting the love that they deserve.

So I decided to do something about it, and participate in the 'Shop My Stash' theme that has been going around for a while.

What Is It? 
It is pretty much just an opportunity to rediscover items from your stash, and to place them in your everyday routine. 


My Rules
1. Every week, pick 5 items from my stash that I haven't been using. 
2. Use all of these items at least twice in the week. 


The Products
Anything, except nail polish and brushes. 


Week One 

1. Sleek Primer Palette
2. Illamasqua Cream Blush in Libido
3. Benefit Ooh La Lift 
4. Physicians Formula Shimmer Strip in Sunset Strip 
5. Sleek Eyeshadow Palette in Monaco 

I am going to be doing this every week for the next three months. Feel free to join in, for as long as you like, and link me if you have already started!

Hope you all have a great night! 

Project 50 Pan - Challenging Myself

Hey all, 

After my last post, I have received a lot of questions about Project 50 Pan. Many of you want to know what it is, what are the rules and more importantly, why on earth am I doing it! So I though that I would write a post specifically about my take on Project 50 Pan. 

Maybe you'll get tempted? Maybe you will think that I am insane? Not to worry, both are reasonable responses. 

What Is It? 

Project 50 Pan was created by Anissa of Beautifully Glossy, and is a challenge where you aim to finish 50 products from your collection. This challenge has an imposed buying ban.

Why Am I Doing It? 

I'm doing it mainly as a way to both explore my collection, and to also get through the scores of unused products that I already have (to replace them with new, shiny ones of course!). Also, it is a way to save money (which will be spend later, of course). 

My Rules 

Everyone creates their own variations to Project 50 Pan and these are just my take on it. If you decide to do it yourself, feel free to make it your own. After all, it isn't supposed to be absolute torture! Hmm...

1. No purchasing new products until 50 have been used: there are exceptions, listed below. 

2. If I buy a new product that doesn't fall under the below exceptions, I have to add 2 more slots to the 50. 

3. I am allowed to replace finished products. 

4. If my skin starts to disagree with a skin care product I am currently using (highly likely), I am allowed to change it. 

5. I am allowed to purchase limited edition products, giveaway products and gifts. 

See, it doesn't sound too bad!

Thankfully I have already built up 20 empties and only have 30 to go, the end is in sight!

The Products 

1. Simplicite Plant Gel Cleanser for Dry/Mature Skin 

2. Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes 

3. Clarisonic Sensitive Skin Brush Head

4. MAC Studio Careblend Pressed Powder 

5. Face of Australia 3 in 1 Primer 

6. MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural 

7. Biotherm Biosource Cleanser 

8. VO5 Hot Oil Moisture Soak Elixir 

9. L'Oreal Elvive Total Repair Conditioner 

10. Lush Sugar Scrub. 

11. Aveeno Intense Relief Hand Cream 

12. OP Therapy Summer Glow Sea Salt Scrub

13. Wet Ones Sensitive Wipes 

14. Lush Soft Coeur Massage Bar 

15. Bilstex SPF 20 Lip Conditioner 

16. Same as above. 

17. Sally Hansen Diamond Strength 

18. Avon Super Shock Mascara 

19. Rimmel Extra Wow Lash Mascara 

20. Rimmel Extra Super Lash Mascara

So, do you think that you will undertake this project at some point? Why/why not? 

Hope you enjoyed the read & that you have a great night! xx
