little white truths

It was only around three weeks ago that I did my first Project Pan 2015 update, and I must say that I wasn't expecting to be writing my second update so soon - knocking off four products in the process. Yay to that: it's the whole point of this exercise!

From my initial Project Pan 2015 list, my updated list was as follows:

As you can see, the Coralista blush is about halfway. Since I've been using it almost every day since the beginning of November, I think we can say that 3g of blush lasts around 6 months - but I'll do a 'how long does it take to finish...?' post on this later on to confirm that.

I've been pretty lazy with the mix and match set: the concealer is gone and the gloss won't last long, but the other products are taking me ages to get through. I'll have to make a more concerted effort to use them - it's just that I have so many blushes and lip products that I like better, so I'm only using these sparingly for a bit of extra colour underneath. Still, we'll get there.

The eyeshadow is going to take me YEARS to get through - I've barely made a dent! I've started using it as a brow filler as well as a liner, but that doesn't seem to be speeding up the process too much. I might have to switch it out at some point because it's starting to annoy me ; )

As for the other three original products, Papercut is on the way out, the Erborian BBs are about 40 per cent gone and the clear mascara (which I'm using on my brows) could easily last another four months or so. It'll be interesting to see how long it does last: I've never gotten through a whole mascara before because you need to throw them out after a few months to prevent eye infection. But you don't need to do that when it comes to your brows (I don't reckon, anyway - too far away from your eyes) so I'm going to use every last drop.

Here are the empties! Review links follow:

Benefit Boi-ing Industrial Strength Concealer in 02 and 03, from How to Look the Best at Everything Kit (travel size)

Full review here. I have three new, open concealers (oops - couldn't help myself) and need to get through them in turn, rather than reaching for whatever takes my fancy. I chose this Benefit one to add to the list because it was the first one opened, and also because it only contains around 3g of product so I'll get through it faster (and therefore keep my motivation up). It should take me a couple of months to finish. After that I might have to put one of the bigger products in.

Mememe Cosmetics Beat the Blues Illuminator in Moonbeam

Full review here. I've had this far too long. I like it and I do use liquid illuminator, it's just that I wound up with a few of them and I've done my usual and opened too many. I've also been getting through little-used eyeshadows by using them as illuminator, but it's time to return to my (preferred) liquid products. There's 12ml in this and it's basically full. I think it'll take me two months to get through this, since I use illuminator as much as primer, and I already know that it takes me around two months to get through 15ml of primer (see post on that here).
