Gone by 2018 - Update one - Giant Declutter - Project Pan - Ralph Lauren, Stila, Superdrug

At the end of July I started a huge project pan type use up (find that post here) and as its been a little over a month and things have started to get finished up I thought it was about time for an update.

I've not taken hundreds and thousands of photos with this update as that would take way way to much time,  but my exciting thing this month was I hit pan on three shades on the I <3 Makeup Naked Chocolate palette which means it is done. Its gone and it means I have been able to start a huge rolling Project Pan Roulette with all my eyeshadow (link to that post here). That project will have far more up-close and in depth photos than this one.

Anyway, lets have a look at what I got through and what I'm adding in.

Added in at update one

So I was originally only going to replace the eight items I finished/had to remove but as the Ralph Lauren perfume is almost done along with some of the other items I decided to challenge myself a little more.  I also recently went through my foil packet collection, and its a little out of hand, so I've added in the five packet masks I'm least likely to use up unless they are in the project and I make myself use them, in the hope I can start making a dent in collection too.

Anyway, until next time

Boots Ingredients Lotus Flower & Tiger Lily Radiance & Brightening Sheet Mask Review - Cruelty Free

A couple of weeks ago I tried the Ingredients Charcoal and Willow Bark Mask and as I didn't hate it as much as I expected and I had really good results, I thought I would try another one. 

I had three to pick from, but this week has been long and could do with a boost, so I chose this one. Its the Lotus Flower & Tiger Lily, Radiance & Brightening Sheet Face Mask. 

So this mask is a little different to the first one. When I opened the packed the first thing I noticed was a faint floral smell, pleasant but not the slightest bit overpowering. Also, unlike the Charcoal one, the fluid with this one is a thin, milky cream and not a thick, slimy gel, which was far far nicer to deal with.

Just like before the sheet was huge, so so huge, but it did feel like it was made of something softer than the previous one. I did see somewhere this one was listed as a tissue mask, not a sheet mask, so it might be made of something different.

A couple of minutes in this happened and I ended up having to cut the cupids bow area off as it was getting in my mouth. This mask didn't sting as intensely as the other, but did tingle for longer (and I love me some tingle). I also feel like it began to dry out quicker than the other one, but not so fast it caused problems. 

When I took it off and rubbed the excess serum in, my skin did feel moisturised and look healthy. I wasn't sure how much the mask had actually done though, and decided to hold off judging it till the next morning.

....

So after using this mask, I had a bit of a disturbed nights sleep (nothing new for me) so I'm not sure if I would have had better results if I had got a solid 8 hours. My skin did look nice and refreshed, but I don't feel it did much more than just a nice moisturiser would have done.  And with a nice moisturiser I wouldn't have had to sit for 15 minutes doing nothing and trying not to get parts of it in my eyes or mouth. 

Overall it was fun, but I don't think the results are worth the hassle and I'm not going to repurchase it. I have already repurchased a couple of the charcoal ones, and am waiting of my skin to inevitably flare up again so I can see if the results were just a coincidence or not. Hopefully the second time around is better now I know what to expect.
