Project 10 Pan - Round 7

Hey everyone! It is time for another Project 10 post! Here are 10 items that I have completely used up and my thoughts on each one!

Aerin Rose Lip Conditioner (3 ml) - I actually received this awhile back in my Sephora Mystery Bag and I have recently been using this at night before I go to bed. This worked best after I exfoliated my lips at night and then went in with this lip conditioner to add the moisture back into my lips while I slept. I like the rose scent and how there is a slight rose tint to the lip conditioner. It is a little bit tacky and more on the sticky side so just a heads up if that isn’t your thing. I did enjoy using it but I’m not sold on purchasing the full sized yet which used to retail for $32 CAD for 10 ml on the Sephora web site 3-4 years ago and now it sells for $40.

Makeup Forever Excessive Lash Mascara - I believe that I redeemed my points on the Sephora website for this mascara and that it was a 100 point perk. I did enjoy using this mascara and the wand was great! I like the packaging and the formula of the mascara was more on the dry side which I definitely love! It did a great job of coating my lashes as well as separating them. It definitely lengthened them but didn’t add too much volume which is fine because I typically layer my mascaras anyway.  

L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara in Black Brown (Curved Brush) - This mascara gets spoken about all the time and I honestly didn’t feel like it lived up to it’s expectations. This is a mediocre mascara and it definitely isn’t one of my favourites. I feel like I would want to try the one with the straight brush in a deeper shade to really form a well rounded opinion on it overall. 

COVERGIRL So Lashy! Mascara - When I was first researching all the claims and features of this product, I thought that it sounded great! I did enjoy using it at first but as time wore on, I didn’t care for it for several reasons. The ball can get in the way of my mascara application because I have small eyes. I also seen that product would clump up on it and that was annoying because it often times, would lead to messy application. I wouldn’t reuse this mascara again unless I had to and I have seen more mascaras on the market that are following suit with the ball on the mascara wand. This is the old packaging.

COVERGIRL truBlend Liquid Makeup in l5 Creamy Natural (30 ml) - This foundation isn’t one of my favourites and I could use a lighter shade right now. The formula isn’t the most lightweight and you have to be careful of how you apply it because it can look cakey on the skin. There is a great shade selection however, and they cater to different skin tones as well as different undertones. I do like that it comes with a pump because I hate pouring out foundation onto my hand or onto a mixing tray. This is the old packaging.

Maybelline FIT ME Concealer in 15 Fair (0.23 fl oz/6.8 ml) - I have heard so many people rave about this concealer and to me, it was just mediocre. It definitely wasn’t my favourite concealer because I like a concealer with more coverage than this one. I wouldn’t repurchase because it didn’t win me over.

Becca Backlight Priming Filter - I received a deluxe sample of this from Sephora when I entered in a promotional code. This is a great high-end primer as it retails for $46 CAD on the Sephora web site. I want to also try the purple primer that Becca launched recently as it is great for dull skin and adds moisture as well as luminosity to the skin!

Urban Decay All Nighter Longwear Liquid Foundation in 3.0 (30 ml) - This foundation does oxidize and that is why I got 1-2 shades lighter than I normally would. I love that it is full-coverage as well as waterproof and it did not make me break out. I noticed that the shelf life is only 6 months on this foundation which is extremely short as my other foundations have the open container symbol with 12 months written on it. This foundation is on the more expensive side but I did enjoy using it and the gunmetal packaging with the pump was stunning! I do want to try cheaper alternatives to this foundation and also try-out the Kat Von D Lock-It Foundation before I consider repurchasing this.

ELF Makeup Mist & Set (2.02 fl oz/60 ml) - I have gone through probably a dozen or so of these and this is my holy grail makeup spray. I use it before and after my makeup. This is extremely affordable and I can’t give enough praise to this product!

EOS Lip Balm in Strawberry Sorbet - This product just sits on my lips and doesn’t moisturize them well enough. I find myself constantly reapplying it and the shape makes it awkward to put in my pocket. Not a fan of it.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY
