Project X Pan 2012 Part 2 [FINALLY]

So, I finally managed to upload the last and final part of my Project Pan 2012! I had so many problems trying to upload this video, first I deleted the video, then my internet wasn't working, and so on. Now that it's finally up, here are the things that I want to finish for the next 11 months! I was originally going to do a third part that is all about lips, but I simply adore lip products so much that I can't bear just using the same few lippies over and over again when my ENTIRE lippie collection needs more love *hugs my collection* so it's just the eye products for this part.



Eye Primers, Eyebrows and eyelid tape

 24. Urban Decay Primer Potion: A sample size, trying to use it up. I use it everyday when I put on eye makeup because I have oily lids

25. Too Faced Shadow Insurance: My backup when my UDPP is gone.

26. Heroine Make Long and Curl Mascara: A strange mascara. When it doesn't smudge, it can last for 10-12 hours before smudging, but it can easily decide to smudge after 2 hours as well! Using it for eyebrows now, since it's quite dried up.

27. Kate Designing Eyebrow N: An eyebrow powder palette that is specially designed for Asian (and dyed Asian) hair.

28. Heroine Make eyelid tape: This requires some skill that I do not appear to possess.

Eyeliners and Mascara

29. Etude House Code B eyeliner: In a collection replete with eyeliners, this eyeliner stands out for flaking at my eyes and being slightly dried up. Might just throw it away should I find myself unable to tolerate this.

30. Shiseido Nourishing Mascara Base: Quite an expensive mascara base but it does it's job of making the lashes look longer and more spidery. Definitely helped to salvage my Maybelline mascara...

31. Maybelline Pulse Perfection Mascara: I don't feel like the vibrating mascara does anything beyond vibrate, it doesn't seem to help curl the eyelashes in any direction at all! Too wet and smudges badly after 2 hours, so I have to repeatedly wave it in the air and blow on it to dry the mascara and make it usable.

32 & 33. LA Colours 2 in 1 eye colour and Max Factor Lash Extension effect: Two mascaras that have been sitting in my storage for over a year and needs to disappear. Using them after I finish my Maybelline mascara.

34. LA Girl Mark My eyes: A thick marker eyeliner that does not give you a defined line but more of a smudged out one. I hated it until I realized that this is what it's supposed to be!

35. Mac Technakohl in Graphblack: I only have a little more left but the only place this eyeliner stays on is my lower waterline, where I like to use...

36. Silkygirl Funky Eyelights Pencil in 06 Metallic Bronze: A brown which is too metallic and dark for me.

37. Sephora Liner Electro in 08 Copper Electro: Definitely my HG brown eyeliner, will repurchase if I run out.

38. Etude House LuciDarling Fantastic Brush Eyeliner: Doesn't transfer much but it stains the eyelid a bit.

39. & 40. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Yellow and Milk: Eyeshadow bases that I can't be bothered to use usually. It gives a creamy colour that tends to change the eyeshadow on top of it.

41. & 42. Primark Opia unknown: A copper and gunmetal gray shade that I bought from Primark in London 3 years ago when I wasn't even into makeup yet, but I was attracted to how pretty they looked.

43. Lavshuca eyeshadow Palette in GD-1: A shimmery palette that I got from my sister. Quite like it though it is sheer and very shimmery (i.e. your typical Japanese eyeshadow palette) Bought from Hong Kong I believe.

44. Eyeshadow Palette filled with assorted depoted shadows from Majolica Majorca, Amuse, L'oreal, Kanebo, NYX and theBalm. Naturally the quality differs quite a bit, but these are mostly shadows that I want to use up before I start working on my palettes.

44 products in 11 months. That means I need to use my products up at a rate of 4 product/per month, which going by the rate I'm using things now, is going to be a distant dream. Still I just want to get rid of so many of these products since I mostly use neutrals anyway!

Love,

Tabby

Depotting most of my eyeshadows at 1am

So last night in the spirit of adventure and restlessness, I decided to depot all my small eyeshadow palettes and put them into the same container. This saves time and allows you to see shadows from palettes that you don't usually use. Seeing = higher chance of using that shadow. For me it was a chance to destroy and poke palettes that I don't really like :P

There are a few ways to depot shadows, one is by cutting the plastic around it and pry it out, another is the heat method by either melting the glue with a flat iron or a microwave. I didn't want to risk the chance of cutting/burning myself so I decided to use the alcohol method to dissolve the glue, courtesy of watching Jen's video The idea is to drop rubbing alcohol onto the sides of the pan to dissolve the glue around it. I bought my alcohol from Guardian a while back, so I started cracking them out!

Literally. Good thing most bloggers recommend starting out with a shadow that is your least favourite. I really don't like this silvery blue, way too frosty on my warm toned skin.

And it's out! Look at all the pretty light blue dusts and holes gouged in *whistles*

One of my first 2 palettes that was given to me. Way too frosty on my eyes. Turned me away from blue shimmery eyeshadow for a long long time. Even till now, I have quite an aversion for light blue eyeshadow and it didn't help that my eyeshadow application skill was non-existent at the time!

The other palette that I received along with the Cyber Shine eyes. The missing palette is the pink shadow, I forgot that I have not taken a photo till after I was done! Through Google, I finally figured out that my palette is the Michelle Yeoh palette. Just by looking at the photo, you can already tell what my problem with this palette is. She looks like she has an eye infection on her top lid for goodness sake. 

The back. Manufactured in 2007?!

The shadows are placed really tightly with into their slots, so I really had to dig to get them out.

Finally, after trying out on various eyeshadows, I lifted my chin up and decided to depot my NYX shadows, which were my favourite singles out of them all

Nude is the same colour as my lid and Brown when used with a damp brush is a little darker than my natural eye contour colour

They were really easy to depot though, lots of loose spaces in the corners :D

So pretty. So bulky.

I think this shade is in the theBalm shady lady volume 3?

So much product, how will I ever finish this. It's also a red tinted brown and knowing how I feel about red eyeshadows... I guess its time for me to experience applying eyeshadow as lipstick

My other small and pretty palettes! Should I? Why shouldn't I?! (spot the odd palette out, no prizes for guessing right)

I was in the midst of trying to depot this Kate palette when I realised that the cream eyeshadow on the extreme right cannot be removed :O So my kate palettes get to stay in one piece thanks to the cream eyeshadow

This palette popped out without any alcohol at all! Bought this from another person's stash. Honestly, I haven't even tried it yet

RD?! Another red palette?! This one looks a bit closer to pink tones though

You can tell how cheap makeup is when the metal container bends so easily

Honestly, these are pretty colours but they are so sparkly and not in a nice way

Fruits of my labour

My Unii palette is holding my La Femme blushes so I found an old abacus container from when I was 8 (!) and organized them there. Hopefully now that I can see most of them, they can be used more often.

Project 10 pan update: I walked into Watsons today and walked out without buying anything even though there was a sale on Silkygirl's lipgloss. So proud of myself. So this is day 3 without buying any makeup
