So this is my last post for 2017. I had hoped that as my traineeship was over and I was waiting for a job in the field I would have a lot more opportunity to wear makeup regularly, using up much more product than before. Unfortunately I got ill and was in now mood for putting time into applying the makeup or touching my already soar and red nose. I did make some progress, just not as much as I had hoped.
Let's start with the Urban Decay original Naked palette. I had hoped that there would be more obvious change in these shadows. However, apart from more of a dip in a number of them there isn't any obvious changes here. I'm doing something different with my palettes next year so this won't be part of my next project pan as such.
There's more of a dent in the Barbara Day eye primer but this is still not complete yet, so I'm rolling it into next year's project pan to use up. It works pretty well, though not great, but as I can't find out if Barbara Day is cruelty free or not I want to use it up and I won't buy it again.
As the never ending story of this year the MUA powder foundation in Shade 4 and Bourjois blusher in Ceidre still look like they haven't been used, despite using them every time that I wear makeup. These products are both quite old and I'll now be getting rid of them. Both MUA and Bourjois are cruelty free (though I will be checking Bourjois' status again in 2018 as I've heard mixed things).
Now for the products I've added in for this last month. The Pacifica perfume in Tuscan Blood is now finished. I liked the smell a lot better than I thought I would, but it doesn't linger for very long and I prefer more simple scents. Pacifica is cruelty free though.
I've managed to get through a lot more of the Zoya Pixie Dust nail varnish in Dahlia then I thought I would this month. There's still a bit to go so I'll be rolling this into next year's project pan to finish off all my nail varnishes and then my nails can breathe. Zoya is a cruelty free company.
I've managed to make some more progress in the Neal's Yard lipstick in Persimmon despite not wearing it regularly. Lipstick is the one bit of makeup I definitely don't wear when I have a cold. This product is also being rolled over into next year's project pan as one of the four lipsticks I want to get through. I do quite like the colour and texture of this lipstick (and Neal's Yard is cruelty free), but I don't think I will buy this product again as I'm thinking of only having one lipstick in my makeup bag in the long run.
The Living Nature eye pencil in Midnight may be a very soft pencil which is easy to use, but it's still taking a long time to get anywhere. In fact, it doesn't seem to have gone down at all. I'm glad that I've started this early as I think I'll be lucky to even finish this by the end of 2018. Living Nature is a cruelty free company, but this product isn't the longest wearing eye liner I've ever used, even when it is set with an eyeshadow.
So that's the end of my project pan for this year. I didn't use up as many products as 2016 and I decluttered quite a few (something I haven't done before). I will be doing another project pan next year as an incentive to reduce all my beauty products to the bare minimum.
Thank you for coming along for the ride and I hope you have a great New Year!
