I've decided to put myself on a Project 10 Pan. I know that this is kind of "last year" but my spending habits on makeup weren't this ridiculous a year ago. If I only have $20 leftover from my paycheck, I'll spend it on makeup. There have been days when I've bought makeup on break at work instead of food. I will go hungry for a day just to buy more makeup. That's pretty sad.
Here's the list of items that I'm attempting to use up:
1. Cherry Chapstick
2. Urban Decay Primer Potion (Depotted)
3. Maybelline single eyeshadow in Linen
4. Annabelle Liquid Eyeliner in Black Out
5. L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes mascara
6. Softlips lip gloss (the name rubbed off)
7. Revlon ColorStay Mineral Lipglaze in Continuous Pink
8. L'Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base
9. CoverGirl Clean Oil Control liquid makeup in #525 Buff Beige
10. Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in #001 Transparent
You might have noticed that I have 11 items in the picture, and not 10. The 11th is my Revlon ColorStay Under Eye Concealer. I figured that since I'm already more than half finished and I still have a full jar of Maybelline Dream Mousse concealer, I should just throw it in here just to push myself to finish it up.
You'll be seeing a lot of these products in most of my upcoming tutorials. I'll be priming my eyes with my original UDPP instead of Sin, I'm going to try and use the Maybelline shadow as my everyday highlight, I'll use my Annabelle liquid eyeliner instead of my L'Oreal, I want to use up my Million Lashes because I have another one (thought I lost this one, so I repurchased. Then my friend told me a couple weeks later that I left it at her place. Oops). I'm going to only use these 2 lip glosses and try not to use any others. I'm going to finish up my L'Oreal primer so I can go back to using my MUFE HD (which I still have about 1/4 of the container left). And I think I'll mix my CoverGirl foundation with my Revlon ColorStay, because I really hate it (the CoverGirl, not Revlon). I've only used it 3 times, so I have pretty much the entire bottle left. And as you can see from the picture, I've already hit pan on my Rimmel Stay Matte powder. So once I finish that up, I'll go back to using my L'Oreal True Match (which I've also hit pan on).
This is going to be quite the adventure. Now, once I finish up one item, like say, the mascara, I'll try to finish up the other 4 mascaras that I have and only until I've completely finished all of them will I allow myself to buy another. I'm only going to do that with things I know I can't really do without, like the liquid eyeliner. If I finish the Annabelle one and then my L'Oreal before the Project is over, I'll buy another.
I'll probably end up making a video about this, because as of right now, I have a total of 0 readers haha.

I'm sure many people have read your post, but some are too lazy to comment anything...
ReplyDeleteI'm doing a project pan right now and it's getting harder because I've been using the same products everyday since february 28 ... i'm getting bored, but I've finished 2 powders, 1 bottle of perfume and 1 lip balm...
