I am really excited to share my update with all of you on my Fall project pan. I feel like I got a ton accomplished and will have even more in my August update. I feel like with more variety of things to use up my passion for panning really came out. I was enjoying using everything that I had and I think it helps to add products that you just want to use and have fun with. For me, this project isn’t all about panning. It is about enjoying what you have and that’s what I’ve been doing. In the process, I have used up a few items and got close to finishing a few more. Just a reminder, this project ends on September 22nd.
I have 14 products in the picture above and I started out with 16 items. You might think that I only finished up two products, but I believe that I added three more items to the project. How many did I end up using up? Keep reading to find out.
Tony Moly Red Wine Mask Sheet Pore Care
I have used used this sheet mask and serum up, hence the strike through the title. This was a great mask. It was really wet and I had enough serum to put on my face for DAYS afterward. The whole mask never really soaked up into my face and I wore it for about an hour. It took another 30 minutes for the rest of the serum to sink into my skin after I took the mask off. This should definitely be saved for a pamper night.
Roloxin Lift Instant Skin Smoothing Masque
This has two one time use packets that I have yet to use. Next time I want a clay mask, I will use this instead of my tube or jar versions. I just need these out of my collection.
Soo Ae Charcoal Clay Bubble Mask
This mask made my face super ticklish and it really bubbled up. I will be repurchasing this. Do they have different kinds of bubble masks? These are so great! It did its job and was super fun. I let it bubble on my face for 15 minutes then I rubbed it into a paste and let that sit for an additional 15. My face never felt so clean and smooth afterwards. It is worth the price of about 2 dollars. I had enough to do my face and my dad’s, but he wasn’t a fan of the tickle.
Medicell Eye Mask Duo
I have yet to use this one as well. I’m going to use it on a lazy Saturday or Sunday in the morning when I have time to enjoy them with my coffee. I like to wake up in the morning with a coffee and these seem like they would be refreshing and help with puffy morning eyes.
Yes To Grapefruit Vitamin C Glow Boosting Paper Mask
I loved the scent of this mask, but it was very thin. I ripped it a little bit trying to open it up. I loved the tingly feeling as well. I would repurchase this one as well as other ones from this brand. It is a decent mask for the price that actually showed me some results.
MJCARE Snail Essence Mask
I’m still scared of this mask, hence why I wore the other sheet masks first. I think it might take me until the end of the project for me to use this one up. Just because I’m terrified of using it and having it smell or something. It was in the multipack that I bought. I am not adventurous enough to have bought this on its own.
Palmer’s Coconut Oil Facial Moisturizer
I love this and I will be repurchasing once I am out of my current creams. I even used this during the day. It soaked right into my skin leaving it hydrated not oily. My skin was less oily while using this product. It is on my repurchase list for sure. I just have to go through a jar and a half and I’ll be onto my way of getting this. It is such a beautiful product, even better than the oil.
Palmer’s Coconut Oil Luminous Hydration Facial Oil
I have used up about a fourth of this a little bit goes a long way. I’m sure it will be gone by the next update though. I’m not crazy about this face oil. It’s not as good as I remember or maybe its just this luminous version. I’ll use it up, but I would not purchase this face oil. I haven’t found a good basic night oil yet.
Model Co Lip Lacquer in Viva
I am almost done with this lip gloss. I removed the stopper and using a q-tip to get the product on the bottom tube. I think I’ll be done with it by the end of next week, so I decided to add in another lip product that I cold wear at work once this one is finished. I ended up really enjoying the color on this one. It is more peachy than pink.
Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in K-Dub
There is no visible progress in this tube, so I didn’t bother with a new picture. I am really loving the color and am wearing it right now as I type. It is such a fun summer color and I’ll be taking this with me to my trip to Maine tomorrow for sure.
Elizabeth Mott Smooth Shadow in Pearl
I’m not sure that you can tell a difference but I did sharpen this pencil twice and it needs a second sharpen for sure before I use it tomorrow. I’m going to throw a few basics in my purse to apply when I get to Maine tomorrow. This is something perfect to throw in there. I love this on my lower lash line as a pop of sparkle.
Josie Maran Surreal Skin Argan Finishing Balm
I ended up liking this pore filling primer, but I will not be purchasing it. It’s not as good as the benefit one, but it is more hydrating. I’m on the fence about this one. I might purchase it. It was a very good sample and I enjoyed using it.
B&BW White Citrus Eau De Perfume
I’m making decent progress on this perfume, but I need to use it a little more often if I want to use it up in two months. I don’t think I’ll be able to use it up, but I think I’ll only have about half of what I had remaining by the end of the project. It’s great paired with a stronger scented perfume. I might drag this into the fall paired with a woodsy scent to make it more “Fall” appropriate.
Davines Natural Tech Replumping Hair Filler Superactive
I’ve used a decent amount of this and it will be gone by next update. I use this to spray down my fly aways when I am putting my hair in a slick ponytail or bun. So, I probably use this like 5 days a week. With a young son, I have to have my hair back or risk getting my hair pulled out.
Hang Ten Dark Tanning Oil SPF 8
I totally forgot about this, so I need to use it up. I’ll throw it in my bag for Maine and see if I can use it all up in one go. I don’t like to tan and buy tanning products. I will use this up. I hope I don’t get sunburned though. I’ll make sure to apply this every hour or so.
Out of my original 16 items, I have used up 5 items. So, I am down to 11 products in the project. I have to use up 9 more products to call this project a success. To increase my chances of “winning”, I am adding three more items to my project.
Jane Iredale Just Kissed Ph Changing Orange Lip Balm
This lip balm will be replacing the lip gloss at my desk at work. A lip balm is less maintenance than a gloss and I want to change it up a little. I used up the pink version in three weeks, so this might be used up by the next update. I’ll have to think about what lip product I want to try next out of my collection that is work appropriate for the summer.
Temptu Highlighter
I am replacing the Josie Maran primer with this highlighter. It is so beautiful and easy to wear. I wear it to work all last week. I can finish this up easy by the next update. I just pour a squeeze on the back of my hand and tap my brush into it and dab one cheek bone and then the other. It blends out like a dream and doesn’t look too much especially since I powder on top of it. It has an iridescent look to it.
So, I am now up to 13 products, but I only need to finish 9 of them. Can I do it by August? Stay tuned to find out. I’m really pumped that I can do it.
With Love ❤
Way to go! You finished a lot of masks!
Thank you! I really tried and I ended up really enjoying my masks. I’ve been using my jarred ones this week but I think Ill do the eye gels on Sunday.
Eye gels are the easiest because they don’t really require cleanup. I’ve been using that peter Thomas Roth cucumber gel mask all week because I had two and wanted to use one up but now I love it! Have you ever tried that one?
No I haven’t yet. I really want to try the Rose one. Really, I want to try ALL of them. They are very popular.
Hopefully you will get one in your play box! They’re really easy to clean up too which I like. Some masks are too messy
I know what you mean. I have a different gel mask and it’s easy to wash off.
Yes! Much easier than a clay mask, which can take forever to come off.
I like that eco tool sponge though. It makes it a lot easier to remove.
I think they work as well as a face cloth, but are much easier to clean. You don’t have to worry about it staining the cloth either.
I really like them but I think that I would just buy cheap dish sponges next time. That’s what they seem like to me.
Was literally thinking the same thing. Would be much cheaper to go to dollar tree or Walmart and just buy a pack for a dollar or two. They’re bigger so you could cut them and it would probably last much longer.
Yes!!! DIY. I’m like why did I never think of it before.
I had the same thought, but I guess why would you think to remove face products with the same kind of sponge that generally meant for counters and dishes?
Lol. Still.
Yea I know :P. Also I was just thinking I’m not sure when your free again on a weekend but if you are at any point and would like to visit or something let me know! I picked up 4 or 5 books today for Dean; Clifford and Arthur. The library was having a book sale and they were gently used.
Awe! Thanks! I’m busy this weekend and next weekend due to Dean having visits and studying for my exam on Aug 21 st. But the next two after that are free I believe.
Maybe sept 2nd? We’re having a birthday celebration for jo tomorrow and on the 26 I’m supposed to take her to a wine tasting as her bday present.
That sounds good. It’s a long weekend for me, so I need to have something to do. 🙂
Oh! Okay that is good! Is that the weekend of Labor Day? I don’t know when it actually is.
I believe it is, because Labor day is the first Monday of September.
It’s hard to remember because I don’t take the day off for either school and or work. But good to know. Lol.
Well, my laptop battery is fried. The new one won’t be here for a week. I’m going through blogging withdrawal. Ill take advantage of the break.
Oh no :(. How expensive is it to replace yours? Mine is 100 and I’ve got to do it sometime soon because my computer battery only lasts for about an hour and a half without the plug,
40 by an off brand company. Dell no longer makes the battery. Funny thing is, after being plugged in for almost 12 hours, the charging light is on. I’ll be able to use it to study tonight. But it’s going to be very unreliable.
Weird. Hopefully you will be able to make it work until the replacement arrives.
Yup. It’s working as long as you don’t unplug it from its power source. The battery no longer charges at all.
Well thats good! At least you can use it if you need to. though not being able to move with it must be annoying.
I got my battery and it works!!!!! Now, my charger is dead. So I have to buy a $20 Dell charger. You win some, you lose some. It won’t charge the battery, but you can run it by the outlet. I wonder if that’s why my battery died.
It’s possible, but it’s also a 7 or 8 year old battery isn’t it? But the cord definitely could have fried the battery if something was wrong with it.
No the new battery won’t charge with the charger that I have and neither did the old one. It says “plugged in but not charging”.
That’s strange, hopefully the new one will work!
It should. The one that I have is generic and the one I ordered is specifically for a few models including the one I have. If it doesn’t work then I think it’s probably beyond fixing. I would get a new one next year.
Hopefully not! Hopefully you can keep it going another couple of years. Did you say that your job gives you computer discounts?
Yeah, 10% or 5% off of a new Dell and limited models but it has to be directly from Dell.
Oh. I guess that could be good if you were going for an expensive model but otherwise it’s probably comparable to the discounts at staples.
You want to come over? We’ll give you a ride. One last swim before fall?
That works for me if it works for you! Last swim already. So sad. This summer really flew by.
It works for me. I’m so sad too. 😦 But I really love Fall too.
I don’t! Lol. I’d rather just not freeze and not celebrate holidays that I don’t enjoy that much anyway. This summer hasn’t really been that hot so I can’t look forward to it cooling off slightly either. But it’s nice that you enjoy it. Lol
Lol. I like when the leaves change color and the light chill in the air, not the freezing cold. 🙂 I do like Christmas though.
All cold is just cold to me. After October I generally just freeze until April unless we get the exceptional warm day. I think the novelty of Christmas has worn off for me, but it’s probably especially nice as Deans birthday is at the same time!
Yup! Dean has revived Christmas for me. I’m looking forward to cooking the Christmas ham and all the fixings. Wrapping all the presents the night before Christmas and drinking a good glass of wine. Watching him open up presents Christmas morning and cooking up Christmas brunch. I’m looking forward to staying home that week and watching him blow out his birthday candles. I’m looking forward to the ball drop if I can actually stay awake for it. 🙂 The end of the year, I have so much to look forward to.
That will be nice. I always stay up past midnight but i haven’t watched the ball in years because I find most of the musical acts annoying and would rather watch a movie.
Lol. I like to fast forward through those.
I can do no fast forwarding as all we have is a digital box, basically the digital version of bunny ear antenna. Though the bunny ears were sort of better as it wasn’t so sensitive to movement and weather.
