Project 10 Pan




I've decided to start my very first Project Pan, consisting of a hodgepodge of products I want to have finished by the end of the year. Some of these products just seem to sit around, nearly finished, but for an annoying 10 or so percent, so that I can't throw them out. Some are past their expiry date (oops!) and others I just want to use up so I can start other things. Let's have a look at the products.....




1 The Body Shop Watermelon Lip Balm
I bought this back in May at the Pre-Mother's Day Pamper Night and I seriously love it. It's nearly finished and I know I can use it up pretty soon. I won't re-purchase because I have a lot of other lip balms to get through!

2 Chi Chi Coconut & Lime Perfume
This is part of a gift set of colourful perfumes I won in a Giveaway on Kats Colourings blog a while back, and it's just the most delicious, Summery, tropical fragrance. But instead of spritzing Blueberry one day, Tutti Frutti the next, then Coconut & Lime every Sunday, I'm going to concentrate on getting this one finished! I don't think it will be too difficult.

3 MAC Amplified Lipstick in Craving
I don't know why I can't get into MAC lippies like a lot of other beauty lovers? I think I just haven't bought one I love yet. Anyway, this has maybe a quarter left in the bullet and I'm probably going to have to use it every day, but I'd love to finish this by the end of December.

4 NIP + FAB Glycolic Fix Night Pads Extreme
I quite like these night pads, but I think it's because I'm lazy and often use them to remove my makeup instead of doing a proper cleanse. I like the smell of them and I'd probably re-purchase if they were on sale. I have about 20 pads left, and even though I don't use these every night, I think I can finish the container.

5 Skin B5 Acne Control Moisturiser*
I was gifted this to review back in March (you can read my Review of the Skin B5 range here) and I use it predominantly around my jawline where I'm susceptible to hormonal breakouts. I've been trialling the ASAP skincare range during the day, but using this one at night so it can work while I sleep. I feel like it's nearly finished, so I'd love to have another item to declutter. It is really effective though!



6 Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel*
This is a big bottle from last year, and the expiry date was September this year! It's still fine though, and you may have seen me use a lot of it to make a Snow Fairy bubblebath recently (on Instagram - not in person, that would be weird and disturbing). A few more bubblebaths and I reckon this will be done!

7 Lush Santa's Belly Shower Jelly*
I was sent this as part of last year's Lush Christmas range and I think I used half of it then it got lost during my bathroom renovation. It expired on the 7th of November (so a couple of weeks ago), but it's still good. I have about half to three quarters left to go, and have been using it in every shower. These Lush jellies take ages to use up, but I'll give it a red hot go!

8 Lush Happy Hippy Shower Gel
I bought this in a gift pack, stored it in the cupboard and when I went to get it, it had leaked! Anyway Happy Hippy is my equal fave shower gel with Lush Rose Jam, and I reckon there's only one or two uses left in the bottle, so this should be no problem.




9 Oh Deer Sugar Rose & Passionfruit Shower Moose
I've been putting off using the last bit of this because I love it so much and don't want to see it go! It smells amazing and the formula is beautiful. It made my September Favourites and I think I can use this up in one generous go. I love it to death but won't re-purchase right now, as I have a lot of shower gels to get through!

10 Oh Deer Sugar Fruit Tingle Body Scrub
To be honest I just want this gone. I don't really like the harsh formula, and much prefer the Oh Deer Sugar Mango Sorbet Soda Pop Body Scrub that foams up and is gentler, but I'm not allowing myself to use any more of it until I've finished this scrub. I like the sweet fragrance, it's just a bit too 'scrubby' for me, and that's saying something!

Melbourne Haul Pt 1: Target, Myer, MAC, Lush + Jewellery!


Hello! As you may know I recently went to Melbourne for the weekend to shop, relax and for some 'me' time! Well, shop I did! So much so, that I'm splitting my Haul posts into Parts. This is Part One, which will include what I bought from Lush, Target, MAC, Myer, Colette, Lovisa and H&M. Part Two will contain my Sephora and Mecca Maxima hauls, although I may even split that again and do those ones separately, given the amount I bought! I'm so happy with everything I got. Let's have a look, shall we?




LUSH
The Experimenter Bath Bomb
Melting Marshmallow Moment Bath Oil
Outback Mate Soap
Yuzu And Cocoa Shower Cream
Brightside Bubble Bar
Sesame Lotion (free sample)
Beautiful Shower Gel (free sample)


Lush Melting Marshmallow Moment Bath Oil

I went in with the purpose of buying bath bombs for the hotel room, and did manage to use The Experimenter and the Melting Marshmallow Oil during my trip. Check out this video I made of The Experimenter exploding in the bath! You guys know I love a free sample, but I swear I didn't even request Beautiful and Sesame Lotion, the Sales Assistant just included them!




TARGET
Chi Chi MakeUp Blending Sponge Complete Collection
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Milan
NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick in Tea Rose
Sleek Blush By 3 Palette in Lace
Sleek iDivine Eyeshadow Palette in Garden of Eden


(L): Soft Matte Cream (Milan), (R): Lipstick (Tea Rose)
Sleek Blush By 3 Palette in Lace
Sleek iDivine Palette in Garden Of Eden

Disappointingly, The Balm and Sleek displays were practically empty, and Target had a sign up saying how popular these brands were, and that they were selling out super-fast. Well, duh! Luckily I managed to grab most things off my list, although they were clean out of The Balm Meet Matte Hughes liquid lippies and some of the NYX shades I was after.

MAC Matte Lipstick in Velvet Teddy


MAC COSMETICS
MAC Matte Lipstick in Velvet Teddy
Time Check Lotion (free sample)
Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation in NC15 (free sample)

This had been on my wishlist for quite some time and it's finally mine! I actually think I got this from MAC in Myer, but I photographed this separately, so let's not confuse my easily-addled brain.


Hello Myer Sale!


MYER
Chi Chi Eau De Parfum Watermelon Gift Set
Chi Chi Glamorous MakeUp Collection Bronzes
Revlon All Over Shadow Brush
Revlon Crease Shadow Brush
Revlon Cherished Love Gift Set {contains Super Lustrous Lipstick in Softsilver Rose, Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Super Natural, Colorstay Gel Envy in Beginner's Luck, Colorstay Gel Envy Diamond Top Coat, Highlighting Palette in Rose Glow, Colorstay 16 Hour Eye Shadow in Addictive, cute red zip-up bag!}

Revlon Cherished Love Gift Set

I didn't plan on getting any of the above but Myer were having a sale! I'm in desperate need of makeup brushes, so I couldn't resist the Revlon eyeshadow brushes and the Revlon Gift Set obviously looks like it was a Gift With Purchase that they marked down to clear out. I loved the contents and for $35, it was great value for money!


I like the red 50% Off stickers most of all!

COLETTE
Various earrings, rings and hair ties.

Um, half price jewellery, yes please! These items were inexpensive to begin with, so seeing the red 50% Off sticker is extra exciting. The only thing I paid full price for was the biggest pack of stud earrings, and that only came to $10 anyway. Score!


Have a ring or two!

LOVISA
Multi-packs of strange rings, 2 x huge rings and a gold Dream bangle


Because you have to Dream!

Wow, I didn't realise I'd bought so many rings until I just typed that out! Again, everything was marked down, either 3 for $12, $2 or $4. How can you go wrong?


Pretty!

H&M
Sparkly headband
Flower Garland headband
Gold triangle necklace

This place was packed and the lines for the Fitting Rooms and the checkout were nuts. I also got two pairs of pants for $5 and $10 in the sale section and two tops (only $15 each), not pictured, because I forgot to. I was too mesmerized by all the sparkly jewellery! Fun Fact - I still don't know what 'H&M' stands for!

I Made A YouTube Video: Chi Chi Haul!




OMG, you guys. Once a year, I decide I'm Martin Scorsese, and that I can star in, direct and produce an award-winning piece of cinema. So I watch countless YouTube videos on how to actually make a YouTube video, then actually make one, then spend days freaking out, put out countless warnings that it will be shitty, upload it and try to avoid advertising it altogether. LOL.

Well fudge that shizz! I'm going for gold this time. I even monetized it despite only having 2 channel subscribers (don't worry YouTube aren't stupid enough to actually put ads on it). Just another gentle reminder that I have no idea what I'm doing and you will be completely underwhelmed.

The video itself is all about my recent Chi Chi Haul, which you can also check out in this post. Here it is, in all its glory....







Also, if you're super into terribly-produced videos, you may want to check out my other offering, in which my son paints my nails. It's called Zach Paints My Nails! (lol) and you can see that here.

Haulin' It: Chi Chi, Benefit Cheekathon + Perfumes!




Oh hey! I thought I'd blog about my latest hauls in one post, since I got all these beauties in the space of two days. I went shopping in the city yesterday, and it didn't escape my attention that Priceline had up to 60% off fragrances. So my first stop of the day was the usually pretty empty Hindley Street store, which I'm sure most people forget about! Perfect. I had a list of ten fragrances I wanted to smell, and was promptly helped with spritzing on tester cards. I finally decided on Calvin Klein Eternity Summer and my old favourite, YSL Paris, although they only had the 30ml. I'm happy with this, because I'd just finished my bottle of Paris so was due for another one!

I've been eyeing off the Chi Chi Spices eyeshadow palette lately, and when I heard Target had a 30% off Chi Chi sale, I knew I had to visit. Apparently there was a big Chi Chi sale at Myer a few weeks ago, but I hadn't watched a million Chi Chi palette Youtube videos at that point, so I wasn't craving it yet! But first, I was in Myer, scoping the GWP offers for the Mother-In-Law, when I spied a $1 Clearance table. I bought the Miss Shop Metallic Body Tattoos just for fun and the gold and silver Chi Chi eye crayons out of curiosity and because I know they'll be fun to play around with. Besides, how can you go wrong for a paltry $3!? I noticed Myer had 20% off Chi Chi, and they had the Spices palette in stock, but I thought I'd get it from Target for 30% off instead.

Of course Target were sold out of the Spices palette! They did have quite a few other Chi Chi palettes though, and I decided to go with the gorgeous Sunkissed one since it was 30% off all Chi Chi products. The more I look at it, the more I fall in love with the array of oh-so-pretty shades! I grabbed an eyeshadow brush while I was there because I don't have many makeup brushes and I'm using the only two eyeshadow ones I have for highlighting my cupid's bow and setting my under eye concealer with powder, instead of their intended use.

Remember when I said I ordered the Benefit Cheekathon in this Mother's Day Gift Guide post? Well my Adore Beauty order arrived, and this awesome value for money cheeky palette is every bit as beautiful as I thought it would be! I used the code offer to get the Benefit samples and the others were the freebies you get with your order (not that I need any more! I'm already doing a Sample Challenge this month!).
