little white truths

I introduced this product on 10 May 2016 and it was my first item for Project Dent. Above is how it looked when I introduced it to the challenge and here's how it looked after three weeks' daily use:

There's definitely been some movement, and I can happily report now that I've hit pan on both sides.

Note that this will be the next item I include in Pan that Palette 2017, once I've finished my Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit. You heard it here first!

Stila In the Light Eyeshadow Palette

You can see above that there's very little progress to speak of before I put this into Project Dent, but there's definitely a few dips after 2.5 weeks' solid use:

What I decided to do after using this palette was pop out all the colours and include three in last year's Pan that Palette, which was my first try at the challenge and a practice run for me.

I've now finished off two shades, and the rest of these shadows (minus the black, which I won't use) are in this year's Pan that Palette challenge so you can see how my progress is going via those posts.

Stila Sun Bronzer in Dark

This is one of my favourite bronzers of all time but unfortunately it's been discontinued so I can't repurchase it, though I will pop it into a panning project soon enough because it's the second-oldest bronzer I own and it will soon be time to start getting through it.

Below is what happened after two weeks' solid use:

As you can see, I hit pan and that pan is now a little wider because I still reach for it often. Such a great product and one that I'll miss when it's gone.

Stila Aqua Glow Watercolour Blush in Shimmering Lotus

This is one of two cream blushes I own and both went into Project Dent last year.

Here's how it looked after 2.5 weeks of use:

Note that I didn't' make as much progress as it looks like above: unfortunately I learned that these don't travel well so some of the product ran up the sides of the cap and I'll have to remove the cap to use it.

Expect to see this in Project Pan 2017 because it's next in line after I've finished the below product.

Josie Maran Coconut Watercolour Cheek Gelee in Honeymoon Honey

This is currently on my Project Pan 2017 list and I'm determined to get through it this month by using it not only on my cheeks, but also on my lips too (it works as a stain and isn't drying if you pop a clear gloss over the top).

Here's how it looked after 2.5 weeks worth of use:

I can definitely see some progress here and from memory, it was about now that I popped this product into Project Pan because it had proven to be something that wouldn't be too hard to get through.

Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector

This was a product I'd been using perhaps every second day but I wanted to pop it into Project Dent to see whether it'd be a good fit for Project Pan.

Here's how it looked after 3 weeks' use:

You can definitely see some good dips. Indeed this may be a good candidate for Pan that Palette eventually because I use it so much and each shade works with a variety of different looks.
Urban Decay Beached Bronzer in Bronzed

Last but not least, my Urban Decay bronzer. I bought both shades when they were released (the other one is a perfect nude blush on my skintone and this is better for bronzing), but I only opened them a couple of months back because I wanted to finish off other products first.

Here's how this looked after three weeks' solid use:
There's definitely a dip and you may well see this in Project Pan 2017 later this year because I'd like to hit pan on it this year if I can.

In sum

I won't bore you with too much of a wrap up because this post is long enough as it is, but suffice to say that Project Dent was a really useful project and I recommend doing something like this if you'd like to see some movement in your collection.

The challenge has proven to me that it's possible to make visible progress on makeup items in only a short space of time, and it's also encouraged me to use and review some products I'd kept forgetting about.

Also, it's been a great 'feeder' project for my other panning challenges and I'll definitely be doing it again this year: I just need to get my act together and pick out my next item!

Hope all's well with you, and speak soon x
