Gone by 2018 - Giant Project Pan - De-clutter before the end of the year.

Three months ago now I began this years Project Pan, and went good guns for the first month (project pan update). In months two to three I did well as well, but forgot to do an update and now we're at the end of month four and I've not done an update either. Clearly something isn't working for me and steady monthly updates.

With that in mind, few days ago I decided to have a huge clear-out of all my beauty and hair care stuff as some of it is very very old and needs the bin. During this I found a lot of products that also are getting old, have been neglected, or will most likely go off if left unused for another six months. So what I have decided to do, rather than a month to month Project Pan, is just to have an ongoing clear out project targeting all the products that I pulled out during the clear-out.

My goal is to use all, or as many as possible, of the following products up before January 2nd, 2018. Anything left then will either go to one side for 2018's Project Pan, or, more likely, in the bin in its (hopefully) greatly diminished and nearly used up state.

I'm not going to be doing monthly updates for this, they will happen as and when something exciting happens. Also all progress posts will just be a done or not done yet, the only products I'm actually keeping track on are the eyeshadow palette and any of the pencils and bullet lip products. Any thoughts on the products will be covered in empties posts and not in updates as I can't be dealing with that.

Now that I've got all that intro out the way lets get into it. You'll see from the photos, some of the products are marked with stickers, its just so I can identify them if they end up in another room, like my bathroom or bedroom.

Approx value at time of writing £153.50

Total number of products involved 47

Total approximate value of products involved £360

£360 is not a small amount of money and although I know I have used a good amount of most of these products, others are still over half full so binning them would be flushing money straight down the toilet. And I think that's the value of doing this kind of project, it helps me really focus in on what I have and what I would be wasting if I just binned things I was bored of.

Additional Makeup Items

So I decided, as the makeup section didn't contain any blush, bronzer, highligher or lipstick that I should go through my collection and pull out a few items I haven't really used, are minis, or the packaging is getting a bit scuffed up and although they're not old or bad, they could probably be used up. These items are not the focus of this project but they are added in as it would be nice to finish some up.

• Kat Von D Ink Liner in Dali
• Too Faced Mini Blush in Justify My Love
• Too Faced Mini Blush in Love Hangover
• Too Faced Mini Chocolate Soleil Bronzer
• Too Faced Mini Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer
• NYX Butter Lipstick in Pops
• Kat Von D Mini Liquid Lipstick in Double Dare
• Too Faced Mini Melted Matte in Chihuahua 
• Too Faced Mini Melted Chocolate in Chocolate Honey
• MUA Highlighter in Pink Shimmer
• NYX Prismatic Eyeshadow in Girl Talk

Approximate additional value £103

So yeah, that's everything. Its a little daunting but I think by month two or three I'll see some results and that'll keep me going.

Are you doing a Project Pan? If so I'd love to check it out. Leave me a link in the comments.

Urban Decay, First Hit Travel Kit. Review and Swatches - Cruelty Free Delux Samples, Perversion Mascara, Primer Potion

If you've read anything I've written, ever, you'll know I'm a sucker for cute things, trying new stuff and tester packs. Urban Decay are a higher end brand that's semi new to me, but since I started buying their stuff I've fallen in love. I now own a good mix of products from them, but I still like trying new things. When I saw this pack (which I got in the same Debenhams order as the Love at First Kiss from Too Faced and a Kat Von D one I need to type up), I knew I wanted it. 

In this you get a mini primer potion, 24/7 Glide On eye pencil in Demolition, Perversion mascara in black, and an All-Nighter setting spray. I've previously tried the setting spray and a different eyeliner from this range and really liked both, several youtubers I follow rave about the eye primer and I've heard lots of good things about the mascara .

Look at how cute these minis are. Perfect for handbags.

So the eyeliner is a really nice dark brown, I've used this a lot, usually on my upper lashes and actually really like it. I will be buying a full sized one of these when this is done as it stays really well, 

The primer potion is a nude colour and although I don't normally use eye primer (I like to just use concealer) I've used this a couple of times under more elaborate eye looks and the shadow has never budged. I don't know if I'd get a full sized version of this, but I would not say no to another sample size to try it out some more. 

So this is the brush from the mascara, its huge compared to the tube and this is the kind of brush I like. Big and traditional. The mascara itself is really good as well, very black, long lasting and dries fast so it doesn't get everywhere if you sneeze right after applying it ( I do this at least once a month so I have to factor it in when choosing mascara).

I didn't take photos of the spray because its a clear spray. I like this setting spray but I'm not 100% sure its worth the money. The NYX one I recently finished as part of my 17 by 2017 project is really good and far cheaper than this. Again I wouldn't say no to another sample. 

The whole box costs £15 and I think its really great value for money. A full 24/7 eye pencil is £15.50 so if you want to try a wide range of Urban Decay products is definitely cost effective. 

Tried out any cute mini sets you think are worth while? Please let me know in the comments so I can check them out.
