Project Pan Update #4

PROJECT PAN UPDATE #4 

This month I definitely made some good progress, but I feel there are products I completely neglected, such as Candy Paint and the NYX Wonder Pencil. With Candy Paint, I just didn't have an occasion that I felt comfortable wearing a dark lipstick to and don't think I used it more than once this month, if that - and as for the Wonder Pencil I just got sick of using it and decided to start sharpening it less as to not waste product. I'm definitely happy with the progress I'm making and will try to really focus on items that are close to being finished this month. Was able to make some really decent progress due to holidays and therefore had more occasions to wear makeup, next update might not be as exciting because I'll be back at school.

PRODUCT	PROGRESS (APRIL 1ST)	PROGRESS (MAY 1ST)
NYX  Photoloving Primer	¼ used	Just over 1/2 left
Maybelline Baby Skin Primer	Just over ½ left	Under 1/2 left
NYX Total Control Drop Foundation 'Porcelain'	Half empty	I'm having mixed feelings about this foundation - sometimes I love the way it looks and wears and other times it's just a disaster - it does look really good in photos but that may be due to my primer or something else. Will continue to use it until it's finished and hope it will be done soon. Only have about 1/2 a centimetre of product left in the bottle!
Maybelline Fit Me Concealer ‘15 Fair’	Little progress	Much better progress this month - just over 1/2 left
E.l.f. Under-eye Setting Powder	No visible progress	Some progress has been made! Little over half left.
Clinique Chubby Stick Blush ’02 Robust Rhubarb’		Really hoping to get this finished soon - maybe in the next two updates? I've got little product left.
Maybelline Master Strobing Stick ‘100 Light-Iridescent’		Finished April 24!! It's completely flat now and I've decided not to scoop out the remaining product - I might later if I really miss it but currently I have other stick highlighters to work on.
Maybelline Fit Me Set + Smooth Pressed Powder ‘120 Classic Ivory’	Yet to hit pan	I noticed this month that this powder is a bit dark for me (it's a bit too yellow for my skin - or maybe it just doesn't work with my current foundation), I can make it work but it does darken my foundation which is a shame - all the more reason to finish it and move it out of my collection though.  I hit pan on April 28! Haven't used since then but was VERY excited as this is the first time I've ever hit pan and it was the occasion of the Harry Styles concert! Product in the centre is very thin so expecting to expand the pan this month.
Jeffree Star Skin Frost ‘Peach Goddess’	Almost worn off the tip of left point of the star	Wore the tip off the left point of the star!
Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette	Larger dip in Peaches 'n' Cream	I'm getting really discouraged using this palette because I think I'm making good progress and then I look at the dips I have and they're really not that deep. That being said, I don't wear eye shadow consistently so it was always going to take me longer to hit pan. Because I'm solely focusing on Peaches 'n' Cream I'm just going to be taking close up photos of it from here out. I don't know if the dip has gotten any deeper.
Covergirl Full Lash Bloom Mascara  Clinique High Impact Mascara	Still going strong   Decided to start working on my Clinique mascara - this is just a sample size and I do have a backup of this mascara as it used to be my absolute favourite, this one hasn't got much use so I thought I might as well start using it. Will probably declutter a few more of my older mascaras soon anyway.	Started to get clumpier than usual and felt really dry around April 12th, was just getting difficult to use so I called it quits then. Unfortunately, this mascara isn't as good as I remembered, it just gets everywhere and the brush is too big. The way it makes my lashes look is okay but it's nothing amazing, still I'll keep working on it until it dries out. No way to tell how much I've used and is still "good" as new.
Essence Lash & Brow Gel Mascara	No visible progress	Under 1/2 left - massive progress! Will probably take the stopper out some time this month.
NYX Wonder Pencil ‘01 Light’		I'm really starting to notice that I don't love the way this product wears so I've been reluctant to use it. It just doesn't last in my waterline and ends up all in my bottom lashes. Also haven't been sharpening as frequently so product is going further.
Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick ’55 My Nude’		I think this is starting to go bad because it makes my lips flake but will use a couple times more before I decide whether to get rid of this or not. Made little progress this month but it is consistent with the past few months
Colourpop  Lippie Stix ‘Drop Top’		Nearly finished! Have been favouring this because it's easy to reapply and carry around with me.
Colourpop  Lippie Stix 'Candy Paint'
NYX Dewy Finish Setting Spray	Less than half left	Under 1/4 left
Rimmel 60 Seconds Nail Polish '500 Caramel Cupcake'

To summarise, this month I finished two products and made really significant progress on Drop Top, eyebrow gel, and my setting spray, I expect them to be finished next update - also really proud of myself for hitting pan on my powder! As I finished my Covergirl mascara (early in the month) I decided to roll in a Clinique one as a replacement. I've decided not to roll in a replacement for my stick highlighter so I can solely focus on Peach Goddess (although I usually use it in conjunction with a cream highlighter). 
A new plan I have with the Sweet Peach palette; once I hit pan on Peaches 'n' Cream I'm going to start working on another palette or single shadow instead. I don't expect myself to finish any eye shadows this year and would just like to hit pan on a few different palettes in my collection so I'm not neglecting anything. I feel like currently other palettes aren't getting any attention because I'm focused on the Sweet Peach palette and I'm just getting uninspired.
