Project 10 Pan - 2014 summer

Happy Victoria Day!

This month is my birthday month. So, "logically", I did some damage in the beauty world. The moral part of me started getting nervous for my wallet. So I decided to start a project 10 pan starting the first day of June. Usually when people do a project pan, the general rule is that you have to use up all the products before you can purchase any new product. However, I don't think this would work for me. Since this is my first project pan, I want to start easy. At the end of the day, we want something that works for ourselves, not a project that sets high goals but makes us easily give up and end up with a vicious cycle. So, the rules for me are:

1. No purchase unless I have used up one of the products on the list.
2. New purchase can be made if condition 1 is satisfied and a budget of 25 CAD per month is allowed.
3. If there is money left from the 25 dollar budget from the previous month, it can be added to the current month.
4. Budget from the following month cannot be used in the current month.

A few tips for keeping the project going:
1. Avoid going to drugstores and sephora as much as possible.
2. Allow at least 5-minute of thinking before making the decision of whether to purchase a product or not.
3. Only carry cash when going out.
4. Bring the makeup inventory list (I counted how many makeup products I own in each category and printed a list for myself) when I go out. If I see something I want to purchase, take a look at the inventory list, then decide if I really want to add that product into my collection.

Here is a list of the products I want to use up.

1. Complexion

Benefit Hola Bronzer

Mac Prolong Wear Concealer

Tarte Amazonian Clay Airbrush Foundation

Diorskin Nude BB Cream

Benefit Boiing Concealer

2. Eyes

Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in RSVP

Bobbi Brown Black Gel Liner

Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes eyeliner in Dark Grey

3. Lips

Revlon Lip Butter in wild watermelon & sweet tart

I will be updating the progress of my project 10 pan as well.
