Spending Ban/Project Pan 2014 Update #1

This is my first update for the Spending Ban/Project Pan I've started back in mid January.

I had this mindset prepared to achieve a successful outcome but I've come to realise that it's very difficult to hit pan on anything. I didn't select certain products that I wished to use up, nor segregate anything for usage during Project Pan. I've been using a bit of everything from my collection - I don't like to stick to one product only as I dislike repetitive routines and enjoy random selections and variation. Maybe I should allocate myself to certain products only, perhaps starting from next month.

Surprisingly, I found it easier to neglect my enthusiasm for the release of new products. However, the sales have been very tempting. Guilty as charged, I finally caved in and purchased myself a few items I couldn't say no to! Don't even start with me about the justification for purchasing these products; I'll have a detailed post about my "guilty haul" soon enough. I'm disappointed with myself but hey, I got myself some very good deals! (trying to make light of the situation haha).

(guilty haul)

In an attempt to assess the amount of makeup I have, I've reorganised my collection and discovered some new favourites (hello old friend!).

Honestly, I think I need another spending pan/Project Pan once this one finishes. There's this satisfaction involved with finishing up a beauty product, that I rarely achieve. Being fairly new to the beauty world and acquiring a lot of products at an exponential rate, I have never hit pan on any product before.

This Spending Ban/Project Pan ends on the 1st April 2014.

  2. Hahaha...we all know the feeling when we try to promise ourselves not to buy make up but we just can't help it when faced with great products and great deals! I really like the happy booster blush and the age rewind concealer, I need to try those two products!
