I like to claim that I'm into panning but I haven't actually posted a project pan this year, I've been trying to use up items in my collection behind the scenes but I haven't stuck to a proper project where I track my progress on my blog. With the end of the year fast approaching (not even kidding how the hell has that happened?!) I thought it would be fun to see if I can finish a few more products before 2019 comes around the corner and use up a few more non cruelty free items in my collection, so I can start the new year a little more fresh. I have made note of which products are cruelty free, but if you know something I don't please leave me a comment to let me know so I can correct it!
If you don't know what a Project Pan is, I've picked 9 items from the collection that I want to completely use up and I will be using my blog to update you on my progress once a month. I've done two project pans previously, which you can read here and here and I'm currently trying to finish 18 Eyeshadows in 2018.
With no further ado here are the products I've chosen to include in this project.
I always include a lip balm in my Project Pans because I have quite the collection and they're all getting pretty old now. I've made pretty good progress with this by using this in the mornings. I have another lip balm I'm about to finish in my handbag, but once I finish that I will pop this one in there and I'm sure I'll make pretty quick progress. I want to continue to use this as it isn't cruelty free and then I can move onto another lip balm in my collection before they all go bad!
This is a holy grail product for me, I've used this to prime my lids for about 2 years now. Its a mousse formula and it is work, party and festival proof. However, this is £20.00 and I've heard a lot of good things about some drugstore eyeshadow primers and I really want to see if I can find a cheaper alternative. There is less than a third left of this in the tube, but it does last a really long time. I'm hoping I can get this finished up in the next couple of months so I can try something new.
I really feel like I've been everywhere with this foundation, I've even reviewed it twice on my blog (here and here). It used to be my favourite, then I really didn't like it and I've recently discovered I can work with it really well if I use a facial oil underneath it. It is cruelty free and I own four foundations that I reach for them over this. I really don't wear the thickest layers of foundation so I find them really difficult to finish but as there is less than a third left in the bottle I think I can be done within the next month if I really focus on it.
As you can see this contour and highlight duo is already pretty well-loved. The bronzer is not too dark or warm and the highlight is subtle and I like it for everyday. But as I said in My Ideal Makeup Collection post I need to downsize my bronzer and highlighter collection and I definitely have dupes of both of these. I just want to use this product solely until I finish it up, but its taken me a really long time to get to where I have so I think I'll be in it for the long haul with this one!
I really don't like this eyeliner. I got this free when I bought the Stila In The Garden palette way back in 2015 and I never really liked the shade. This is a khaki green eyeliner with gold shimmers throughout. I convince myself that this is close enough to a brown eyeliner that I would use it, but I really don't reach for it. I feel like I've had been trying to use it up for so long I may as well finish it so I can go back to using an eyeliner that I like. This is a twist up liner that won't go back down once rolled up (as I discovered the hard way) so I'm not entirely sure how much of this is left, but I think it would be less than half.
So a couple of years ago I bought basically every Christmas gift set that Ted Baker did because the packaging was so pretty, but all of the makeup was absolute trash. I kept an eyebrow pencil and this lipstick so I didn't feel like I'd completely wasted my money. Flash forward and I still have this. This is a real concealer-lip shade which isn't greatly flattering, but I do use this over the top of matte liquid lips as it has a glossy finish. I've nearly finished this and I think I could use it up fairly quickly.
8 - Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake (Not Cruelty Free)
I used to love this lipstick, it's the first and only lipstick I ever repurchased. I don't use it so much anymore as I prefer slightly darker shades. I also don't really want to talk about this anymore on my blog as Revlon is not cruelty free the Lip Butters have been discontinued, which just shows how long I've had this! I think there is around half left of this, but I think I should be able to use this up quite quickly if I remember to reapply throughout the day.
9 - Essence Lip Liner in Wish Me A Rose (Cruelty Free)
I definitely have more lip liners than I need and this is the liner I tend to use underneath my Lip Butter, so I think this would be a good time to try and use this up. There is a lot of product still left in this so I think it will be difficult to finish, but it goes well under a lot of shades so I'm going to give it my best shot.
