Project 10 Pan #1 - Update | 2015

Hey everyone! A few blog posts ago, I mentioned that I wanted to try out Project 10 Pan for the first time. If you remember correctly, I also said that I would be keeping it separate from my empties. I posted on a photo on Twitter of some of the empties that I finished while on vacation as a sneak peak which included some of the photos that I am about to show you!

I also wanted to do mine a bit differently. I did hit pan on some of my other products (such as my MAC Painterly Paint Pot,) but my goal is the use up my beauty products that are already in my collection. That is why I included an empty pack of makeup wipes and a finished bottle of toner. Nonetheless, there are 10 used up products.

Empty Products:

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleansing Cloths (25 count) - I love these am already on my second pack!

Rose Water (Cedar Brand) - I have a blog post dedicated to this product and it helped clear my acne scars and I used it to tone my face at night.

Jordana Retractable Pencil in Tawny - I love this lip pencil - it was my go-to, but I'm sad that I can't buy it in Canada!

YSL Deluxe Sample of Forever Light Creator CC Creme in Apricot - Obsessed! I don't think I can buy this where I live but I will splurge and buy the full size version whenever I can get my hands on it!

Skindinavia Travel Size of The Makeup Primer Spray - A great primer!

Skindinavia Travel Size of The Makeup Finishing Spray - An awesome spray to completely set your face without worrying about your makeup moving around throughout the day!

Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation in 120 Classic Ivory - This was a decent foundation all around and I do have an entire review on this foundation! 

Benefit Deluxe Sample of The Roller Lash Mascara - This mascara was awesome because it curled and coated my lashes at the same time!

MAC Lipglass in C-Thru - I won't lie, I had this lipgloss for a very long time. I bought it originally because I read in a magazine that Britney Spears uses this on her lips so I had to go out and buy it too! I found that I couldn't wear this colour alone and had to wear it with a lip liner and/or a lipstick.

Hard Candy Brows Now! Brow Fiber Gel + Highlighter - I liked this product, I just found that the fiber gel dried out quicker than I wanted it to.

Don't panic! You will still be getting an empties blog post like usual at the end of this month!

Thanks it for now! Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

Battle Of The Setting Sprays

Hey everyone! Today we will be talking all about three different makeup setting sprays! I have been using setting sprays for a few years now and wanted to share some points with you!

ELF Makeup Mist & Set - $3.00 USD (2.02 fl oz)

Pros: 

- Inexpensive

- Moisturizing

- Lasts all day

- They fixed the nozzle from where the mist comes out of and now, it evenly disperses on the face when you press down

- Holy grail item!

Cons:

- One bottle lasts me anywhere from 1 month to a month and a half

- Can be hard to find in stores!

- The scent isn't that great

NYX Matte Finish Long Lasting Setting Spray - $8.00 USD (2.03 fl oz)

Pros: 

- Gives a matte finish to the skin

- Lightweight formula

- Easy to apply and is effective

- Doesn't break out my skin

- Is suitable for wearing outside when it is humid (it tends to hold up most of the time) 

Cons: 

- The nozzle can be improved as it tends to squirt out sometimes

- The black packaging really gets dirty when applying makeup! (as seen in the photo above)

- The smell of the actual product can be improved

Skindinavia The Makeup Finishing Spray Oil Control - $29.00 USD (4 fl oz)

Pros: 

- Gives a matte finish

- Long lasting

- Award winning

- There is a nice variety of setting sprays online to choose from depending on your skin type

- Makeup artists use this product as it is reputable

Cons: 

- A more expensive setting spray

- Can only buy online or makeup conventions (IMATS & others)

- I find myself still needing to touch up sometimes throughout the day

Overall
I tend to use my ELF Makeup Mist & Set before I go to work or when I'm running errands. I like to use my Skindinavia Oil Control Finishing Spray for special events or when I'm going out at night. It feels luxurious on the skin and it makes me feel good! As far as the NYX Matte Setting Spray, I use it here and there but I find myself reaching for the other two sprays more often. I just hate how dirty the packaging gets after I blend my foundation and reach for it, it gets filthy! Just my personal opinion.

Tip: Spray your face after you apply all your face products and apply mascara after you spray! If you spray your face at the very end of your entire makeup application and the mascara isn't waterproof, it can ruin your eye makeup giving you racoon eyes when it runs underneath!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.
