So...
Round 1 of Project 10 pan is officially over!!!
I started PTP on the 2nd of January and I'm glad I managed to finish up 10 items from my ever growing makeup collection. * Today's the 12th of March*
I must say, I've been naughty, and bought some stuff in between, but nothing as serious as my MAC collecting days. :)
However, I've been buying a couple of hair stuff, skincare stuff and clothes. Which in the end still clutters up my room. *fail*
Anyway, some stuff I've learnt along the way...
1. Never ever use stuff which is -TOO- old. Especially if you have sensitive skin like me. I've gotten some breakouts by using an old Cdp concealer :( not worth trying to finish that.
2. I shall stop buying makeup until I'm left with nothing to use. That applies for cream products such as concealers *who the hell needs 9 concealers!!?!!*, as they turn bad rather quickly.
3. Toss mascara when it starts to smell funky and goes on flakey! Not good for your peepers!
4. I will stick to products or brands which I'm only in love with and not keep wanting to try every single new product which is being released on the market! An example would be the Missha Cleansing Oil which I got before CNY. I should never have left you, my HG Fancl MCO. I totally regret that. It left my skin parched as a desert! Red and irritated by the alcohol found in the product. *SOb*
5. Best way to stop buying excessive makeup is to think about the pain of having to use it all up quickly before its expiry date. Else it would be like throwing $$$ into the bin.
Anyway! There's more but I won't bored you with that.
My initial plan was to use up these products:
1. Paul & Joe Pressed Powder in 02
2. Maquillage Blush in 80
3. Canmake Eyebrow Powder in 16
4. MAC Paint Pot in Bare Study
5. MAC Eyeshadow in Ricepaper
6. CastleDew Setting Mascara
7. Kiss Me Skin Imitation
8. Covermark Concealer
9. Spring Heart Eyeliner
10. Shiseido The Makeup Mascara Base
11. Anna Sui Rouge G in 703
Out of which I managed to finish:
1. Paul & Joe Pressed Powder in 02
2. MAC Eyeshadow in Ricepaper
3. MAC Slimshine in Kissable
4. Lavshuca Loose Powder
5. Coffret D'Or Loose Powder
6. Forever Living Lip Balm
7. Covermark Concealer
8. Spring Heart Eyeliner
9. Canmake Eyebrow Powder in 16
10. Maybelline Cat Eyes Mascara
Stuff which I didn't manage to use finish and the reason:
1. Maquillage Blush in 80 *breakouts big time!*
2. MAC Paint Pot in Bare Study *on the way!*
3. CastleDew Setting Mascara *floppy lashes*
4. Kiss Me Skin Imitation *accentuated the lines under my eyes!*
5. Shiseido The Makeup Mascara Base *too difficult to remove*
6. Anna Sui Rouge G in 703 *can't stand the scent! And it's old.*
So yeah. I guess I would be throwing some stuff out.
Even though PTP is officially over, I won't be rushing out to buy anything. Nothing at the moment is on my "want it" list. So I'll wait till I have something which I really want or need :)
Wow, congratulations. You did really well finishing P10P so quickly.
