Project 10 Pan + Hello!

Hello! My name is Hannah. I have had a Beauty Blog before but as I got more and more into my degree it had to be put on the back burner. That was around 3 or so years ago and my approach to products and what I use has changed slightly, as I suppose anybodies would, so I have created this new blog to start fresh. I am going to attempt to post every other day! 

I am going to start off with what might perhaps seem an odd post, a 'Project 10 Pan' post. Instead of jumping back in with loads of products and purchases, I have been perusing my collection and gradually editing it down and down. There was a time when I would go mad when every MAC Collection came out and as a result ended up with more products then I needed, especially paired with general drug store and product buying too! 

Project 10 Pan for people who don't perhaps know is where you take a look at what existing products you have within your collection and choose 10 that you aim to use up or at least 'hit pan' (for example the metal pan in the bottom of an eyeshadow) before you buy any more make up products! 

Its tough, but here below are my picks for this:

The list includes (clockwise from top):

1. Soap and Glory 'Hand Food'. A lovely hand cream but I have far too many of the travel size offerings floating around my house and handbag!

2. Soap and Glory 'Heel Genius'. A Foot cream that smells good and seems great, I just don't always reach for it for some reason.

3. Asda 'Moisturiser'. I'm not really sure how this reached me, but it actually isn't too bad at all, suprised! Having Decleor and co. in my collection means this usually gets bypassed.

4. Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream. This product is good for those no make up make up days and works well with my skin (dry). 

5. Maxfactor False Lash Effect Mascara. This is one of my favourite mascaras, but I have far too many open. I need to use them up and I don't want this to go to waste!

6. Urban Decay Pocket Rocket in 'James'. This is a gimmick central product. The gloss is a bit stickier than I like and its not anything special. My boyfriend hates the smell and taste of this when I wear it... I have seen from other posts that others have the same opinnion on this.

7. Barry M Blush. I'm not sure of the colour of this as its either rubbed off or wasn't ever there. It has a bit of an old lady powder smell to it, but I quite like the way it looks on.

8. Urban Decay (A very well loved) Naked Pallette. I really like this, I honestly do. However, I also have the Naked 2 palette that I received as a gift waiting to be used, so I want to use this up before I start on that one, especially as I like to carry this to travel with, I think 2 would be overkill.

9. Benefit High Beam. I really liked this product when I first got it, but I think there are better highlights out there. Perhaps mine has gone a bit gloopy, it needs to be used up either way.

10. MAC Lustre Drops in Pink Rebel. I probably prefer this to the Benefit High Beam, but I don't by any means think it is the best highlighter out there. It is however a fairly nice product.

So, thats what I have to get through, two highlighters seems a bit ambitious perhaps? They are quite used though. I will post my progress in a couple of weeks time! Let me know if you are also doing Project 10 Pan, I really like reading others posts on this!
