If anyone hasn't seen these videos yet, they NEED to. It's a series of video of this boy named Stephen, who probably has anger management issues. His younger brother puts these videos up under the youtube account "wafflepwn." Watching this kid Stephen is like watching a train wreck. It's kinda funny but also scary at the same time. This kid is going to grow up to be the next Scott Peterson or Ted Bundy...SERIOUSLY.

Thursday, June 24, 2010
So I'm starting this blog off with a Pan 10 Project! Can you tell already that I am a self-discipline junkie?
I basically just laid out all the makeup that has been sitting in my train case untouched, so don't mind the extra products in the pictures.
My regular makeup routine right now is Shiseido Cream Foundation set with the BareMinerals mineral veil. Then I use CoverGirl Lash Blast (the orange one), MUFE eyeliner, and Victoria's Secret Lipstain Pen in Muse if I want to wear more makeup. A lot of this makeup I have had for months now, and I want to use these products once in a while with my regular routine just so I can start making a dent in them!
1. Clinique Almost Make-up with SPF 15 $22: This is a tinted moisturizer that I bought a while ago because I heard it was waterproof. I always have problems with my make-up fading throughout the day (probably because I used to use BareMinerals foundation exclusively) and I thought that this would be the solution. Nope. At the end of the day I am still left barefaced. The product comes out looking opaque-ish but on your face, it is a very very fine coat and just is not enough coverage for me. This is good for Saturdays or Sundays (my super intense studying days) when I don't want to wear makeup but I'll be going out for coffee or to the library.
2. Lancome Foundation $42: (forgot the name, but it was a 2009 line. Picture perfect foundation maybe?) I like this, but it's a little too dark for me. My mom bought this for me at the end of last summer and she was convinced that my matching, natural color was "too pale." Thus I have this cream foundation. I'm sure I would love this foundation though if it was the right color. This I'll try to polish off during August, when I inevitable get tanner.
3. Benefit Erase Paste $26: Wow if I ever finish this I will be so happy! This pot of concealer is pretty tiny, but the product is really thick. I use maybe 2 quick swipes with my ring finger and that is enough to cover my undereye circles pretty well. Also this is a tad light for me, so I only really use this under my eyes. Better make this an everyday item if I want to finish it before it expires!
4. Amazing Cosmetics concealer: This is an okay concealer. It's liquid and doesn't cover as well as the Benefit Erase Paste, but it does an alright job. The only thing I really dislike about this product is the tube packaging. Everytime I go to dispense some, I first have trouble getting enough out and then a huge spurt comes out and gives me too much! It's like *squeeze* "ah a little more...a little more...a little more...too much!" I guess this concealer is a lower priority than the Benefit Erase Paste. I wouldn't mind if this was a little thicker and more opaque.
*Also pictured: Bareminerals- one with mineral veil (transferred), and the other with Well Rested (a powder concealer. My undereye area is almost always too dry for powder makeup). The purple palette is an Urban Decay Mattifying palette. I couldn't resist buying this because the cover is so pretty! It is such a great pop of purple an the shiny detailing is beautiful. Unfortunately, the powder is too drying for my skin now.
5. Smashbox Primer Light $36: This was a lemming purchase for me. This primer won Allure Magazine's Best Primer Awards, and so I HAD to try it. It really did not work well for me at first, because I was a mineral foundation wearer at the time, but now that I wear liquid foundation I'm gonna give it another shot.
6. Shiseido Benefiance Balancing Softener: Hm so this got raving reviews on Makeupalley.com (4.1/5). It supposedly helps your moisturizer sink into your skin better. Women there are also saying that it is 'too rich'?? This is news to me, as it only made sensitive areas of my skin peel. I'll give this another try with my nighttime moisturizer instead of my daytime Aveeno with SPF 30.
7. Clinique take the day off: Self-explanatory makeup removers. I really like these, plus they were free (gift with purchase). Their one weakness is non-greasy mascara.
8. Shiseido Cleansing Oil: I've only used this once, but that's because I'm worried it'll break me out. This is literally as viscous as the EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) I use to cook.
9, 10, 11: A million cleansers! The Pink Oil-Free Acne Wash alone will probably last me a year haha. I got the two pack at Costco (love). I know it's a lot of product, but it works for me and pink is my favorite color! The shiseido cleansers are okay. I always feel like they leave a soap film on my face though, so my mom will probably end up with those. Proactiv is good, but nothing special.

12, 13. Body Lotions: I never really use lotion too much, just on my hands in the winter, but I don't really do body lotion ever. I just don't have the time for it, or the patience to sit around in my underwear until my legs dry :P. The one on the right is a face lotion that was over a year old so I decided to just keep it for hand use. Btw, I used this lotion about 2-3 times a week for a few months and still only managed to go through half of it! Thank you cosmetic companies for trying to give me plenty of product, but I'd like it more if you sold SMALLER PORTIONS. That way I'd feel less guilty about not using products that I bought but don't use (hence Project Pan 20)
14. Clean and Clear Oil Sheets- These are so fun to use! I only need these in the summer though, hence why I have this beat up pack saved all the way from last year.
15. Crest Whitestrips: you guys know what these do.
MUFE eyeliner $25: didn't like this when I first ordered it. I remembered it as being too 'hard' and waxy. However, I tried it again recently and I LOVED it! Now I remember why I spent $25 on a freaking 5 inch stick of eyeliner. It stayed on my waterline all day with no smudging at all. Plus it was a hot summer day, and I cried a little later on (rewatched Titanic. guh).
Almay liquid eyeliner: I use this pretty rarely. Liquid eyeliner always takes more time and effort for me than good old crayon eyeliners.
Stila Baked Eyeshadow Shimmer Trio $28: This product is going to take me a long time too. I hardly ever wear eyeshadow and if I do, it's just a light mono shading above my eyeliner.
19, 20) Differin: great for acne and clearing up skin
Hydroquinone bleaching cream, HQRA (hydroquinone retinoic acid cream), and proactiv sulfur mask: All my favorite clear skin goodies.
I'll go into more detail about each one later. Maybe. It is 2: 50 AM and I am exhausted. Goodnight!
