Project 3 Pan

This is mostly for my own personal use, but I know some people might be curious about what I've finished so far for Project 3 Pan.

For those of you who don't know what Project 3 Pan is, I finish 3 makeup items in certain categories (ex: foundation) and buy one to replace the three I used. If a product goes bad, it counts toward a used item if I've used more than half of it. Another example of an exception is a CoverGirl blush palette I have... it comes with 3 colors (highlight, blush, and a contour) and I will never use the contour they put in there (it's bright pink...nobody would use it for contour). Therefore, if I use the highlight and blush, it still counts as "used". Another thing, if I hit pan on something and it breaks and cannot be re-pressed (like if it falls out on the floor), it can count as "used". Then, I have a miscellaneous category. It has products that I didn't list as categories, but something I did finish. Once I finish the miscellaneous category, I'm allowed to buy one item from *any* category that I want to.

Now that I've rambled enough, here's my list (I only list items I have completely finished):

Why Do Cosmetic Companies TORTURE Me?

Seriously. Maybelline has released the new "SuperStay Makeup" and there's a shade that is passable for me (which honestly never happens with Maybelline). They have two new concealers, also! Not to mention four new quads for smoky eyes (they have a black, brown, purple, and green.. all a bruise on my soul! haha)

Then Neutrogena released the Oil-Free Acne Wash with ingredients that are supposed to calm redness in your skin... which is totally cool... problem is, I can't buy it... salicylic acid doesn't work for me and I have to accept it.

Herbal Essences released the "Tousle Me Softly" collection, but since I don't have an overload of hair products, I bought two.

Project 3 Pan, how I hate thee :(

Beauty Tag

Claire (makeupblogger) did this and tagged anyone, so here's my answers for this tag:

What's your favourite make up look?
Neutral anything

Do you have a beauty vice?
I think that means misbehavior... umm... applying foundation with my fingers (which I guess isn't that bad, but I don't find it to be very hygienic)

What part of your body do you love?
I like my eyes, minus my lashes. They're stick straight toward the outer corner, they always end up irritating my eyes, and I can't curl them.

Who is your beauty icon?
I don't have one.

What beauty product makes you feel instantly sexy?
Either a really good foundation or mascara.

How do you look after your skin?
I use one routine for a couple of weeks and give up. I'm on week 3 of AcneFree and I reaaaaaally want to try something else. *sigh*

What is your signature scent?
Anything lavender

What are your hair care secrets?
I don't have any

How do you pamper yourself?
I sorta don't pamper myself

What is your beauty pet peeve?
It isn't a pet peeve, but I don't understand why nude lips are such a trend... I think my biggest pet peeve is that some people pick the wrong nude lipcolor, so then they look sick.

What would your desert island must haves be?
Getting off the desert island, lol.

Finally, do you have a beauty philosophy?
Nah.

I can't really "tag" anyone because nobody really reads my blog, haha. If you come across this and want to do it, I tag you.
