Today I'll be sharing my thoughts on items 18 - 20 of my project 20 pan. Although I have finished 20 items, I'm not considering myself officially done yet, as I did say that I wanted to finish ten makeup items as part of the 20 and so far I've only finished nine.
L-R: YSL Young Sexy Lovely perfume; Red Earth Mattifying Makeup Base; Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation |
The next product I finished was a primer, Red Earth's Mattifying Makeup Base. I swatched this in my daily face routine post. It's a silicon based primer so great for absorbing any oiliness which I sometimes get throughout the day. I found this helped me achieve a matte finish which stayed in place for a reasonable amount of time (say 6-8 hours, if I wasn't doing anything too sweaty). I think this has been discontinued though as Red Earth is not stocked in Priceline anymore (to my knowledge) and I haven't seen it elsewhere since it was discontinued from Priceline.
My 20th item was a Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation. This was the lightest shade it comes in (light vanilla) and still way too dark for me, so I mixed this with my NYX foundation which is super light. Apart from the limited colour range for pale skinned people like myself, I quite like this. It has a fresh, fruity fragrance (but not too overpowering), blends quite nicely and doesn't feel heavy or cakey. It apparently contains "Radiance Boosting Fruit Therapy" whatever that means....sounds like a bit of a gimmick to me, haha! But overall, I quite liked this (apart from it being too dark).
For my final item(s), I am currently chippping away at a Revlon eyeliner and a Revlon lipgloss. Hopefully I'll be finished by the end of February (which will mean a total of around six months without any new purchases).

ReplyDeleteCool, thanks for that info! I was sure I'd seen it somewhere. Not feeling so sad now, haha! :)
ReplyDeleteYou did great with your p20p I can only ever use up skincare/shampoo/conditioner/soap
ReplyDeleteThanks Jade! I think skincare is easy to finish because I use the same products everyday. I get bored using the same makeup everyday so I tend to switch around and nothing ever gets finished haha!
