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

Last official haul! Sephora friends & family, allwholesalecosmetics, selfridges (Suqqu)

Woops, I apologise for the lack of updates, was quashed between exams and after-exams preparations, so I simply didn't have the mindset to type about anything beauty related. Hopefully I can figure out how to use Blogger's staggered posting properties so that I can at least try to have semi-frequent updates...even if I don't feel like it that day :D

So onto the main topic, my last official haul before project pan started!


Package 1 & 2


Package 3 & 4


Package 5


After investing in pricy brushes, I wanted to try out this highly hyped brush guard. At best it will prolong the lifespan of my brushes, at worst, I wasted US$8.50 on several pieces of plastic



From allwholesalecosmetics.com. They recently revamped their website but I decided to just order since I was using a concierge service anyway. However, their domestic shipping is only a little cheaper than their international shipping fee!


Loads of lovely lipsticks, and I get to try the hyped dream mousse blush


The highlight has got to be this, Paula Dorf's lip brush as recommended by Lisa eldridge. The only place I could find it was at allwholesalecosmetics and it's less than US$10! Go get it quick!



Two boxes from Sephora but seriously....


What is this? The box is huge and there are only free samples, a sephora deluxe mascara that came free with a code and one FusionBeauty lip plumping gloss. FusionBeauty was at 50-70% discount on Sephora one week before the friends and family sale so I quickly ordered it. I ordered using comgateway's concierge service but it takes them more than 24 hours to actually place the order so I only managed to grab one of their lip plumpers.


My haul from the Sephora F&F 20% sale this year. I was pretty worried that the concierge service won't be able to use the discount code since there is a limitation on the number of times that you can apply the code per computer *sigh of relieve*


All the products are recommendations and I love almost all of them (except you Peter Thomas Roth sunblock!)


The true star of this haul :) I ordered using Vposteurope's UK address. The UK address is ridiculously long and there was a word limitation for the address on the Selfridges website. I had to contact customer service since I was quite worried whether my package will reach the right hands or not, and they were so efficient that the package was shipped out before customer service got back to me! Thankfully they noted who received the package and I duly forwarded it to VpostEurope.


The Suqqu cheek brush. Originally, I called the Suqqu counter in Selfridges as I wanted to ship directly to Singapore but it's 50 pounds to do so. 50 pounds?! That's like S$100! Concierge service for the win


Such an investment


Like kitten's paws :D

Truly, my last offical haul was wonderful and it should satisfy me for a while. Or can it?



Love,
