10 pan project

Ok so here is what I am aiming to use up it might end up being different depending on how it goes.

1. Steam cream - I love this and use it as a night cream so should go pretty quickly and I will replace this when it's finished.
2. Lancome Genifique eye cream - again used as a night cream and sometimes for day, nice but not great.
3. NYX doll eyes mascara - I love this but have a tonne of mascaras so I should use them up in turn.
4. Doir style liner - again love this but have lots of liquid eyeliners that I need to use up.
5. Bourjois Mineral Matte Mousse - Great everyday foundation shouldn't take me long.
6. Dr Lewins hand cream - I am rubbish at using hand cream this should help me try to get into a routine.
7. Anna Sui Dreams - I am a big lover of perfume and have lots but I always forget to put it on so I have popped this one in my handbag for frequent spritzing.
8. Rimmel volume boosting lipstick
9. Bourjois Lip Liner - I know a pencil will take ages to use up but again I have so many.
10. Bourjois concealer stick - I am over half way through this so again shouldn't take me long.

tuesdays makeup




Ok trying something a little different today, Still rocking the steam cream as my skin seems to love it but I am trying out the new stay matte mouse from Rimmel. I have to say I love the texture even though I am not sure if I have picked up the right colour I got 100 (ivory) which I assumed was the lightest but now I see from the website there is 103 (true ivory) so now I am not so sure. Damn, don't you just hate when they don't have all the shades in the shop. Anyways like I said it went on really nicely and my massive pores were virtually gone but I have to say it didn't hold by 3 o'clock I was a shiny mess and it had gone really patchy. I did use it with the Bourjois mineral powder though so I am going to try it with the stay matte powder tomorrow to see if it makes a difference.

The eyes were my NYX doll eyes mascara which I am loving and a metallic blue eyeliner which is very old from Bourjois.

Updates and purchases

hang on to your hats because I have loads to tell you about today and some nice little up dates on things I have been trying.
The first thing I am excited about is of course new polishes. I got 2 OPI, Met on the internet (I had to buy this one as this is how me and the hubby met nearly 12 years ago) and the second is Lincoln Park After Dark in Matte which is great because I love the colour and have wanted to try matte for a long time, plus I can make it like the normal one with a simple top coat. Kind of a 2 for 1 :)
Next is the one have have been lusting after China glaze "for Audrey" now anyone that knows me will tell you the only thing I love more than cosmetics (not including the hubby) is Tiffany's so Tiffany colour nail polish makes me squeal with delight.

Now for the updates

The Hissyfit did indeed make me break out, Damn. Also weirdly it make my skin really dry the next day which is strange as it was so greasy so I guess I will think twice about this one.
The Incoco however was fantastic, I had to take it off today because I managed to crack my thumbnail unpacking a box at work and needed to do a repair. It's a bit of a bummer because it was holding up really well, tip wear but no chips and was still really glossy. It was in fact starting to grow out which is I think the only downside.

Lastly my latest purchases

When I heard they were doing NYX at Harrods I can't believe I managed to last over a week before I caved and went to check it out. With work bonus burning a hole in my pocket I dragged Hubby along to get my hands on some.
I bought the Glitterati palette which looks amazing, I love most of the colours and can't wait for an appropriate time to use them (don't think work would approve of this as a day look). I also picked up the Doll Eye Volume mascara and the Concealer in a Jar. The shade the MUA picked for me was 04 Beige and I have to say I was very dubious a I have never let a MUA pick a shade for me as they always chose to dark. When I got home I tried a little and I have to say she got it right and it covers up the eye circles very nicely.
