Project pan

Project Pan: products that you must use up / hit pan meanwhile you are prohibited to buy further more products until you reach your goal.

I truly believe that all the makeup you buy, you should use it up. I think that the goal of all make up is to be used, not to be wasted. So, I always try to use up the product before it reaches their expiration date. Therefore I try to limit my purchases so I manage to use up almost all my products, sometimes I just can't but I sure try. I by no means am a makeup artist (which need to have a lot of products for their jobs) or such a compulsive shopper that needs all collections and products and barely touches them because there is always something new in their collection or they just forget that they have a product in particular. In this particular proyect pan my objective is not only use up products that I love, but I must use up this particular products that (according to my point of view) are expensive but furthermore they don't suit my skin tone.

First: My Nars multiple in the color orgasm. In my skin it's only gold glitter with no staying power, the formula is fairly dry and for that reason it's not a easy glide on creme blush. I tried every way imaginable of application but nothing works. I'm using it under a Chanel blush. Another way is to mix the multiple with cream color base from MAC in shell. I'm crossing my fingers, I think I'm going to give up with this one.

Second: My Nars blush in orgasm (what was I thinking when I bought the blush form of the multiple in the same color? why didn't I bought some other color?).

Anyway I think is a beautiful color but it has too much glitter in my opinion a little less would make it perfect. Yes! I depotted it even though it had a beautiful packaging. It is next to Coralista there is a difference between them. When I feel like being a disco ball in the mornings I use the orgasm blush. When I don't feel like it a mixed with a matte blush. It's in proyect pan because it will expire soon.. but I'm getting there so Yipie!

Third: Cream colour base in the color shell from MAC. It is just not for my skin tone. I already hit pan with this one, but I must finish it! :)

Fourth: The "holy grail" for many; Stereo Rose from MAC. I heard so many good things about this mineralize skin finish that I had to try it. I need to mixed with some pink blush because is too orange for me. But I had to buy it because there were a drawer filled with it that I couldn't believe my "luck" and bought one without thinking because I was sure that next time I wasn't going to have "that luck"

Long post! I know, but I think that I needed to share my thoughts because we all as a society need to stop buying lots of things that go to waste. I think now more than ever we need to be conscious with our consumer behavior, with nature and the environment and with ourselves. This little amount of products are almost 100 euros, for products that I don't fully like and I have to force myself to use them I think a better use of that money was take my family somewhere. I'm more cautious right now! and luckily I'm going to use up everything!!!
