Project 10 Pan Update

I'm nearly done with my project 10 pan, now let me recap the rest of the stuffs that I've finished so far:

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser - although i only use it in the morning (I find that it doesn't completly remove my makeup ), it's still my all time favorite cleanser, and I already have a back up for this.

Estee Lauder Perfectionist CP+ Wrinkle Lifting Serum - This serum claims that it instantly lifts your face, and in the long run reduces lines, wrinkles and age spot. I've been using it for 3-4 months (note that i only use it in the morning), and it didn't do anything at all to my skin (well at least it didn't break me out).

This serum comes in a creamy texture, and when applied it turns silky (like those silicone makeup base), fortunately I got mine from my sister inlaw, and i don't think I'll ever pay for this.

Teen Teen Auto Lipliner - This is a Korean product, and the color that I have is no. 27 Beige. This is actually the only lipliner that i use (I have half a dozen of this in my drawer), this color is the closest thing to my natural lip color and it goes with all the other lip products that i have. I usually line and fill my lips with this and top it with other lip products.

SWATCH

I've swatch it really hard so the color will show up, usually it isn't this dark.


The Body Shop Basil Purifying Mask 100ml - This is a deep cleanse mask that's suitable for all skin types (i think it will work even if you have delicate skin, it's a very gentle mask), I think I got this last year, but i didn't really use it in the summer (I prefer the blue corn mask in summer time). I've already got a new tube of Mint Julep, so I don't think I'm buying this again yet.




Neutrogena Advance Solutions Pore Refining Peel 50g - I don't know if I'll be cheating in counting this product, because when I rediscovered this, I found out that it has gone bad (there should have been enough product for one more use). The reason why i didn't finish this off was because I hated the smell, this is a peeling mask that uses enzymes to exfoliate, it was suppose to be suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin, but i just can't stand the smell....

The following stuffs are not over yet, but I think they'll be gone by next weeks:

Dior Hydra Action Visible Defense Hydra Protective Eve Creme SPF20 - This stuffs is unbelievable, I've used it every single day and it has lasted me 2 years. You only need a pea size for both eyes, it's very hydrating and it has SPF20. I don't think there are too many eye creams with SPF in the market, and i thing this is a good choice .

Kanebo Testimo Lipstick - The color that i have is PK-210, it's a sheer, glossy pink color (I'm not really a gloss person, because I hate the sticky feeling, so in order to duplicate the gloss effect, I like sheer lipsticks)

Etude Jelly Bar - The color that I have is 05, is a coral peachy sheertone lipstick. I love this color, but i think this product is already gone and no longer available.

Including the other 2 products on my first article, i.e. lancome makeup base and bioessence peeling gel, I declare that I've completed my first round of project 10 pan. It was actually quite fun, and i think I'll be doing it again later.

Project 10 Pan

I was wondering what would be the best way to start my beauty blog, and when I've finished two skin care product this morning, I though that must be a hint for me to do a project 10 pan.

For those of you who are not aware what project 10 pan is, it’s a project where you need to use up 10 makeup or skincare product before you could buy anything new, and since I’ve already got my X’mas shopping done, I thought that this might be a good time to start.

Product that I’ve finished:

Lancome - UV Expert Neuroshield Makeup Base SPF50
Although this is a makeup base, I mostly use it as a sunblock, because it has SPF50. I’ve already used 3 tubes of these, but mostly in the summer, and I always come back to this during summer time, and I already have a back up on my drawer, well see you again next year…

BioEssence – Deep Exfoliating Gel (HK$79 Watson's)
I got this at Mannings – Hong Kong, and it came highly recommended by a friend.
I think I’ve started to use this around July/2009, meaning that I’ve been using it for nearly 6 months, and I usually use it once a week.
This is an exfoliating gel where you apply on dry skin, and when you start to rub it off, dead skin will start to ball up (that’s what the saleslady said). However, after several usage, I’ve realized that what’s balling up is the product itself and not dead skin. Since I’ve already found a new exfoliating gel that is way better than this (I’ll do a review later), I don’t think I’ll be repurchasing this.

 

Two gone and eight more to go, I’ll keep you updated.
