Project X Pan - 7 & 8 down

So why is it when I embark on Project X Pan, I seem to run out of everything at one?

I've finished off another two products, both not on my list!  But hey, they are products that have been hanging around.

The first product I finished off I received in my Priceline Gift With Purchase a couple of months ago.  It is the Priceline Calming 3 in 1 Facial Wipes.  This pack comes with 25 wipes and a handy self seal sticker that keeps the remaining wipes fresh.

These wipes are quite nice.  The fragrance is harmless and they are not too dry but not too moist they run down your face.  They are very gentle and do a pretty good job at removing your make up.  The only thing I found they struggled on is my Essence Gel Liner but I am yet to find a product that removes it nicely.  I will repurchase these wipes.


The next item I finished off is a mechanical eye pencil by DB by Savvy.  By finished off I mean I wound it up to see how much was left and the remainder snapped off when I was winding it down.  Sad face :-(  I got this on special for about $3 probably a year ago and it is a great mechanical eye pencil.  The packaging is quite nice and firm and comes with a smudger on the end.  It did have a cap on it but that is long lost.  I don't use the smudger anyway.  The colour of this pencil is black but it is not BLACK black.  That would probably be my only complaint with this.  It is nice and long wearing too.  I would repurchase this, but I believe it is discontinued and I have enough eye pencils to last me about a year!

So I've actually finished off 8 items now.  That leaves 2 to go until I finish PXP but not all of the goodies on my list will be gone!  I'm going to take the Chi Silk Infusion off my list and I don't see it going anywhere anytime soon as there is A LOT left and you only use a tiny amount but I still plan on using up the 4 other products before finishing Project X Pan.

I thought I would start the week off with a face of the day!  Being that it is Monday morning, it's a work make up day!


I generally like to keep my work make up pretty and understated (sometimes I'm a little bolder) but this is a general look for work that is achievable in no more than 10 minutes and you are out the door!

Priceline Gift With Purchase

Hi Pretties

Those in Australia would have no doubt seen Priceline's current gift with purchase. To receive you just spend $60 on the participating brands to get the goodie bag filled with over $220 worth of stuff! I thought I would do a short post for those tossing up whether this is for you or not.

Now seeing as Revlon also have buy one get one free, and I have been eyeing off a few lip butters and lipsticks for quite a while, I easily reached my $60 with a couple of other purchases. More about those on Sunday in my weekly haul post!

Below is the bag I received.

I'll start with the bag. To be honest I think it's hideous. It's very much not my taste and pretty flimsy. But it kept my goodies contained so I'm not complaining too much.

Products
Eco Tools - 100% recycled plastic bath sponge in purple. This is nice and soft
Nude By Nature - Soft focus illuminator
Models Prefer Multi purpose sponge in hot pink
Rimmel - I love lasting finish nail polish in 185 Mocha Fever (I already own this colour)
1000 Hour - Nail Foils in a purple/silver patterned colour
Manicare - Soft Touch Tweezers
Covergirl - $10 off card
Revlon - Colour Burst lipstick in 035 Blush
Innoxia - Lovely Lips lipstick in Honeysuckle
Australis - Paparazzi Perfect High Definition blush in Poser
Press and Go - Nails in a zebra type pattern
Natio - Mineral pressed powder in Soft Tan
Priceline - Calming facial wipes
Max Factor - Xperience Volumising Mascara in black
Models Prefer - Kohl pencil in matte black
Savvy by DB - Luxury Liner in Shimmering Slate

Now considering most of the products I already purchased were buy one get one free I really got loads of stuff for my $60. I'm very excited about it. I pretty much don't need to buy mascara for a year, and eye liner for about 2 years with all the free ones I have received lately as gift with purchases!

Did you get the Priceline gift with purchase bag?

FOTD - Rock a red lip by day

Hi lovely peopleI did a bit of a different make up look today so I thought I would show you. Normally I'm into the coral and pinky shades but I thought I would be adventurous today and rock a red lip! I based my look around a ModelCo red lipstick/lipgloss I received with a magazine for free!

I kept the rest of my make up really simple to avoid the 'clown' look :)

Products Used
Foundation - Loreal Matte Morpheous Moose in 115
Powder - Mac Mineralise Skin Finish Natural in Medium
Bronzer - Face of Australia (it's that old the name has worn off! The package is a large container with loose bronzer in it)
Eye liner - Savvy by DB
Eye shadow - Rimmel quad in Smokey Noir
Mascara - Covergirl Lash Perfection
Brows - Savvy by DB
Lipstick - ModelCo lipstick/lipgloss (no name)
Nails - Rimmel lasting finish in Double Decker Red

Do you like to rock a red lip by day?
