Project Ten Pan

Project Ten Pan: Lip Balms

I've been really enjoying other people's project pans lately, and I have far too many lip balms, so I decided to do my own project pan with my lip balms! The rules are that I can't buy any more lip balms until I use all of these ones up, and I've "hit pan" when I can no longer use the product without scraping it out. The only product I've used a noticeable amount of is the EOS, which I've used maybe a third of. I use lip balm every day and before I go to bed every night, so this shouldn't be too difficult. I'll do my best to do an update once a week.

My first product is a new favorite of mine, and it only costs a dollar! It's the BeautyTreats Bunny Balm. It's really moisturizing, so I like it a lot. If you want to try it, got to ShopMissA! This will probably be the first thing I use up.

This is my YuBe lip balm from Sephora. I used to really like it, but since then I've found better lip balms that are also cheaper, so I've stopped using it regularly. I want to be done with it.

I love the scent of this! It's a raspberry creme ChapStick. It's pretty moisturizing, and I keep it on me while I'm out and about to use as a daytime balm.

My fourth item is this L.A. Colors color balm. I included this because not only do I like it, it's tinted, so I can use it on days when I want red lips as well as whenever I feel like using it, so it'll be easier to use up.

Fifth is this Electro Baby Lips in Oh! Orange. It's also tinted, so I'll use it on days when I want an orange lip, as well as at home in the evening.

I really want to use up these three Starburst LipSmackers in watermelon, cherry, and strawberry. I got them together in a pack on sale at WalMart because I thought they would be fun to have, but I'm already over them. I just want them out of my collection, but I don't want to waste them.

My overnight balm/butter is the Nivea lip butter in caramel cream kiss. This is great for moisturizing and it's totally saved my lips from getting destroyed from the cold.

Lastly, I have a medicated tangerine EOS. This is a nice balm for the evening because it's not so thick you want to just wear it overnight but not so thin that it does nothing.

Finish Five

Finish Five by February: Mini Lippies!

I have another project pan! This time, I can purchase new lipsticks while I'm using these ones up, but I have to finish all of them by the 1st of February 2016. I've made it easier for myself by including glosses that can go over the lipsticks, and all of the products are deluxe sized samples rather than full sized products. I've included nudes for everyday and reds because that's a nice holiday color.

First up is this little Too Faced lipstick in Naked Dolly. It's a nice nude color that doesn't wash me out, so I look forward to using it.

Next is a Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie lipstick in Speak Your Mind. It's slightly nude but mostly pink and it also doesn't wash me out.

This product is a Laura Mercier Creme Smooth Lip Color in Red Amour. It's just a nice, simple red that will be nice around the holidays.

I have another Laura Mercier lippie, a Lip Glace in Blush. I think it'll look good over the two nude lipsticks I included.

Lastly, I'm going to try to use up this Hourglass lipgloss in Icon by using it over the red lipstick.

Lippies Part Three - Lipstick

My Lippies Collection Part Three - Lipstick

This is the third and final part of my lippies collection, lipsticks! I also including a few stains and miscellaneous lip products that didn't really fit into any category. I hope you like it!

First of all, we have my biggest one-product collection, Wet' n' Wild MegaLast lipsticks. I use these a lot, so I have a lot of colors. I did a review and lip swatches of these a while back, if anybody is interested.

Here I have three random lipsticks. I got the one on the left from Dollar Tree, the one in the middle as a gift, and I forget where the one on the right is from.

Next are these Wet' n' Wild lipsticks. The packaging gets messy very easily and I couldn't be bothered to clean them, so they're kinda messy.

After that are these two NYC Expert Last lipsticks. I also have a review and swatches of these on my blog, if anybody is curious.

From left to right, we have a Rimmel lipstick, a Maybelline lipstick, one from NYC, one from Beauty Treats, and one from Burt's Bees.

Next I have two Milani liquid colors and an Essence longlasting lipstick. I got the Milani ones from Dollar Tree and the Essence one from Ulta.

Here are three Wet' n' Wild Natural Blend lip shimmers. I've been trying them out recently and I like them so far.

These are some of my lip crayons. The letters on the one on the outer left have worn off, so I don't know where it's from. The inner left one is from Wet' n' Wild, and the one on the inner right is from Revlon. The one on the outer right is my all-time favorite lippie, which is from Tarte.

Lastly are three e.l.f. stains. They work okay, and they last a long time, but they can be pretty unpigmented.

Lippies Part Two - Lip Gloss

My Lippies Collection Part Two - Lip Gloss

This is the second part of my lippies collection - lip glosses! This isn't all of them, but it is the majority. I don't actually use lip gloss very often, so I don't have as many lip glosses as I have balms or lipsticks.

First up are two lip glosses I found at Dollar Tree. I haven't tried them yet but they do smell good.

Next I have two Philosophy glosses that I've never used that I'm not sure you can even get anymore. I imagine that they're good but I still have to try them.

After that I have two old Revlon glosses I'm pretty sure they don't make anymore. I really like the red one, it's very pigmented.

Next are three Milani glosses I found at Dollar Tree. I can't seem to find them on the Milani website so I'm not sure where else you could find them.

Lastly, I have three random glosses. The one on the left and the one in the middle are from Dollar Tree, and the one on the right was a gift at some point.

Lippies Part One - Lip Balm

My Lippies Collection Part One - Lip Balms

I was looking at all the lippies I own (which is far too many) and decided that I wanted to do a post about them. Then I realized that I have too many for that because I'm ridiculous and I basically hoard makeup, so I'm splitting it into parts. Just a disclaimer - I'm not trying to brag about all the makeup I have or anything like that. I'm posting this simply because I enjoy reading posts like this and thought that maybe other people would too. I'm starting out with lip balm.

These are my Baby Lips Electros and my YuBe lip balm. Both are pretty good, although I prefer the YuBe due to how it's a fair bit more moisturizing. The only possible downside to the YuBe is that it smells really strongly of rosemary. I don't mind it, but I can see how some people might.

Here are my Nivea lip butters. These are my favorites to wear at night because they're thick, so they stay on for a while, and they're also really moisturizing. I haven't had a single crack in my lips or any chapping since I started wearing these overnight! I usually keep the caramel one on my desk to use at night and the raspberry one in my purse for daytime.

Next up, I got these three adorable lip balms from the Dollar Tree. I have yet to try any of them, and I'll admit that I'm a bit wary of the bacon one. but I'll update you on how they work once I try them.

These two are the ones I got from Claire's about a week ago. The fudge brownie one smells like fake chocolate, which I find kinda gross, and the cinnamon roll one has barely any scent. Neither of them have a flavor.

After that we have three ChapIce's I got together in a three-pack from Dollar Tree. They're okay.

Next are three Lip Smackers that I found on sale at WalMart the other day. They don't do much for your lips, but they smell good and look cute.

After that we have two lip balms from ShopMissA and a ChapStick. The ones from ShopMissA are pretty great, very hydrating and moisturizing. The ChapStick smells great and is pretty good for your lips from what I can tell.

Lastly we have a Jelly Belly lip balm, one from Palmer's, and a Carmex. I found all of these at Dollar Tree. I haven't really tried the Jelly Belly one much, but the other two are great. These aren't all of my lip balms, but this was the majority.
