Project 10 Pan - Round 3 | 2016

Hey everyone! Here is Round 3 of Project 10 Pan that I promised you a few blog posts back!

NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder in Sunny

This was a repurchase and I have used this product for years. It is my go-to drugstore bronzer that can do no wrong in my eyes! When I am very tanned, I tend to use this as a face powder.

ELF Makeup Mist & Set

This is a holy grail item of mine and I have numerous back-ups. I will continue to use this as long as ELF continues to make it!

Clarins BB Skin Perfecting Cream with SPF 25 in 00 Fair

It claims to revitalize and protects the skin. It also evens out the skin tone. This was a decent product but it is very light. I have fair skin but this was even too light for me. I like that it has an SPF because it protects my skin just as it claims to do. The coverage is build-able and if I am in a rush some days, I layer it on my face and just add a little bit of concealer. 

Revlon Nearly Naked Pressed Powder in 030 Medium

I found this to be fairly light for a medium powder to be honest. I am comparing it to other shades from different brands of course. I did really like how soft and blendable this powder was however, what I did not like was the packaging. It is very bulky, not ideal to travel with and the white packaging got very dirty rather quickly.

Sonia Kashuk Brightening Powder 

I used this to bake with and it was very inexpensive but, I felt like I went through this entire jar in no time at all.

YSL Volume Effet Mascara in Baby Doll

I really liked this mascara and the brush was fantastic! It coated each and every lash! It was great at layering each coat and was easy to get in the inner corners as well as to coat the bottom lashes. The packaging is gold and luxurious.

Rimmel Super Curler 24 Hour Mascara

This particular product claims to be for volume and to also curl your lashes. I would say that it does not last 24 hours and I still had to curl my lashes before use. The wand is thick and chunky which I didn’t like. I have small eyes and this wasn’t ideal for me. This mascara reminds me of the Benefit Roller Lash mascara only difference is that I like that one much better and the wand isn’t nearly as large. I would not repurchase this mascara.

Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Swivel Stick 

This is a repurchase of mine and it is by far my favourite lip balm. I am sad to be out of it and will pick-up another one once I am in The USA.

ELF Matte Lip Color in Praline

This has been my every day lip colour and I have gotten so many compliments on it! Some even said that it reminded them of the signature Kylie Jenner lip colour. The only negative thing I can say is that mine broke on me and I obviously continued to use it. I just had to apply it awkwardly so that the stick would not fall out completely. One more thing that I just thought of it that it is hard to find in stores. I have had no luck in-stores in Canada and The USA. Your best bet is to order it online.

Mac Lip Liner in Stripdown

I have been pairing this with Praline and it has been my go-to lip combo! As you can tell from the photo, the pencil is very small and I have used it up entirely!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

May Empties | 2016

Hey everyone! This blog post is a few days late and I wasn't sure if I would post it at all because I didn't finish very many products last month. However, I still wanted to get something up for you and decided to post it anyway. 

Hair

L'Oreal Paris Hair Expertise Re-Nutrition Intense Mask - This product contains royal jelly and it is "active serum enriched." It lasted me quite a long time and I really did enjoy using it. My hair felt softer and more moisturized after using it! I would put it in my hair before I would go to sleep, put my hair in a bun and wash it out the following morning. I would definitely repurchase this product because it is effective and it is very affordable!

Face

Classic Clean Sea Breeze Original Formula - This is an astringent and it claims that it 'deep cleans down to the pores' with a 'tingling, refreshing feeling.' I would have to agree. I had previously used the blue formula for sensitive skin and I would have to say that I prefer that one much more!

Life Brand Skin Firming Peel-Off Face Mask in Honey & Caramel - It is free of parabens and it claims to "hydrate and tightens skin." I did notice that it did both however, I did not smell any caramel at all. It is rather on the messy side because it is a peel-off mask. Also, when applying, make sure that you put on a nice evenly coated layer because if you apply it too thick, it will take forever to dry and it will not be fully dried when you decided to peel it off making a very messy situation for you to deal with.

rue beaute! Grapefruit Vitamin Rich SOS Hydrating Face Mask - I actually found that my skin drank up this face mask! It is extremely hydrating like the name suggests and I really enjoyed using it!

rue beaute! Blueberry Extract Emergency Makeover Face Mask - These sheet masks are very easy to use and I enjoyed the scent of this mask!

rue beaute! Coconut Hydration Rehab Your Skin Face Mask - I would suggest checking out these sheet masks because they are only $1.99 USD for one and they do wonders for your skin!

rue beaute! Hangover Ginseng Face Mask - It claims that it is 'soothing and hydrating for even skin.' I love the packaging and the word 'hangover' made me laugh and that is why I purchased this mask in the first place to be honest with you.

Body

Secret Scent Expressions Clear Gel Antiperspirant in Cocoa Butter Kiss - This is a great smelling deodorant but I feel as though I need to reapply throughout the day. I really like the clear formula!

Hands

Bath & Body Works Deep Cleansing Hand Soap in Driftwood Surf - I absolutely love this scent and it reminds me of men's cologne! It is "a blend of: nectarine blossom, ocean driftwood and warm amber."

Bath & Body Works Deep Cleansing Hand Soap in Watermelon Lemonade - This scent was decent but I would not repurchase it. It isn't one of my favourites sadly. I wish there was more of a watermelon scent than a lemonade scent to it.

Samples

Orange Naturals MagPop! in Tangy Orange - I received these three samples to review and I always keep it 100 as you all know. I did thoroughly enjoy these because of the convenience factor and also, it is great for taking on the go! The orange flavour is great and you can read more of my thoughts regarding this product.

Wet Ones Antibacterial Hand & Face Wipes in the Citrus Scent - These come in very handy! They don't take up much room in your purse and I even can clean various surfaces using these!

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleansing Cloths - I have a lot of individual packs of these and you will see them quite frequently in my upcoming empties blog posts! I adore these wipes and remove all of my makeup!

Benefit Dew The Hoola - My friend gave me this sample to try-out and even though I haven't ever owned the original Hoola Bronzer in powder form, I have swatched it in Sephora multiple times. I can tell you that the original formula is much better than the liquid bronzer. I do not like it because even though it is easy to apply with a beauty blender, it shows up very light on my skin even though I am on the more fair side. I wish it was darker in colour and do not recommend this to anyone with tan skinned or even darker than that!

Josie Maran Vibrancy Argan Oil Foundation Fluid in Juicy RG50 - My friend also gave my this sample to test and this shade worked pretty well for my skin tone! I loved the formulation and it did not oxidize on me throughout the day. My skin looked flawless and I loved the coverage that it gave my skin! I would say that it is a medium to full-coverage foundation. I applied it using my beauty blender and it looked fantastic! The price tag is a bit steep as one bottle retails for $55 CAD. Also, the finish is more dewy because there is argan oil inside. I would recommend setting it with a good powder before going on about your day.

Stay tuned this week because I have a fun blog post coming out & I will be posting another Project 10 Pan blog post shortly!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.
