May Project 10 Pan Empties - Part 2

I finished all my remaining products for my May Project 10 Pan.

Here they are!

Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover (Trial Size): I used this for removing waterproof mascara and the lip stain left after removing long-wearing lipstick. It does the job well, but I found it a little too oily for my liking. It doesn't irritate the eyes, but I feel that I can get the same outcome using my make up wipes. Will not purchase full size. 

Victoria's Secret Bombshell Perfume: I really liked this perfume, it was my first Victoria's Secret perfume  that I got on an overseas trip. It has a lovely sweet fruity/floral scent. The perfume lingers for hours. Will definitely consider repurchasing. 

Bvlgari Perfume: This used to be my signature scent. This classic perfume is not too overpowering & can be worn during the day or night. The scent lingers throughout the day. Will repurchase in the future.

Trilogy Rosehip Antioxidant +: Like the original Rosehip oil, this oil was absorbed quickly into my skin, leaving it soft and supple. I found that the Rosehip Antioxidant + cost a little more than the original & didn't really see it giving me any extra benefits. I think I will stick with the original!

Nail of the Day - Bling-tastic!!

Today I felt like adding a little sparkle to my nails! I used Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xteme wear in Marine Scene as a base, then bling-ed it up with Sally Hansen Gem Crush in Bling-tastic.

Being my first time using a Gem Crush polish, I was really impressed with the formulation. Bling-tastic has a blue glitter base with silver hexagon sparkles thrown into the mix. The polish is quite bold & bright, but required at least 2 coats to get the perfect finish. My nails dried quite quickly, so it is the perfect polish if you are looking for something fast & easy! Definitely a winner in my book!

30 Day Squat Challenge - Completed!!

I am pleased to announce that I have completed the 30 Day Squat Challenge (see here) as of yesterday morning!!

Yes it was hard at times - but definitely worth it!! As a reward for completion of this challenge, I had a deal with M that he would get me the jumper that was on my wishlist from Wheels & Dollbaby.

Angora Knit

We collected my Skull Angora Knit (after my last set of squats!) and I can't wait to wear it! In fact, we picked up another one of these with a different print a few weeks ago as part of my upcoming birthday pressie. They are really soft and a perfect addition to my winter wardrobe!

Anyway back to the challenge! I will probably continue this challenge next month & M will create a similar challenge for me - but with sit ups! Yes it will be extremely challenging, but bring it on!

With a Rebel Yell!

I managed to collect another 6 containers to take back to MAC & finally got my hands on 'Rebel' which I had on my wishlist!

Rebel has a satin finish & can be described as a pinky purple colour. The colour looks quite intense in the bullet, but once applied its more of a deep berry colour. Rebel blotted on as a stain, leaves your lips a nice magenta colour.

This lipstick should complement most skin tones, but of course you should swatch it before you buy! I think this lipstick will be great for a night out worn with simple eye makeup.

What do you think of this lippy? Is it on your list of favourites?

May Project 10 Pan Empties - Part 1

So far this month I have managed to finish 6 out of my 10 chosen products, which is an awesome effort! 

Here they are:

Clinique Turnaround Smoothing Body Cream: This body cream made my legs feel silky smooth. It is easily absorbed & doesn't leave a sticky residue. A good cream, but a bit expensive for what it is. This was only a sample, but unfortunately I will not be purchasing full size as I have already found my HG body moisturiser. 

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion: A good face moisturiser. Not greasy and easily absorbed into skin. Unfortunately, w ill not be purchasing full size as found HG face moisturiser.

Kiehl's Lip Balm #1: I didn't really like this product. I found it too greasy & it irritated my lips. Will not repurchase.

MAC Lipstick - Sweetie: One of my favourite MAC lippies! It is a beautiful pink colour with a little shimmer. Its lasting power is not great though. It lasts a few hours at best, if you don't eat or drink anything. May repurchase in the future when I get through my large stash of lippies!

 Loreal Base Magique: I found this primer held my foundation quite well & lasted the day. It mattified my skin & created a good base for my foundation. Only downside, was the weird silicon texture of the product, oh & the tub it came in - a tad unhygienic! May repurchase in the future.

MAC Pink Treat Lip Liner:  I found this lip liner matched most of my pinky MAC lippies. Unfortunately as this product comes in a retractable pen, you don't get as much product as you do in a pencil. I found this particular liner was very drying on my lips. Will not repurchase.

April Project 10 Pan Empties - Part 2

Wow, I can't believe my last post was almost two weeks ago! Anyway.. Let's get down to it!

I finished my last 4 empties for April last week, so here they are:

 Emporio Armani Diamonds Perfume: This used to be my signature scent for a few years & I got quite a few comments when wearing it. The perfume  lasted through the day, so it was perfect for a long day at work & there was no need to reapply. Be warned though, this may not smell great on everyone. One of my friends got her mother to purchase this as a gift for her & she said she loved the fragrance on me, but it didn't smell too great on her. Diamonds has a fruity/ musky scent and is not too overpowering. Would I repurchase? Probably! I've been through 2 bottles & not sick of the fragrance yet!

Dior Hypnotic Poison Satin Body Lotion: This is one body lotion that I'm sure M is glad that I had finished, as he doesn't think it smells too great! It has quite an overpowering scent, so I didn't tend to use it with the Hypnotic Poison perfume. The fragrance lasted all day, so there was no need to reapply.  It had a oriental smell about it - kind of a creamy vanilla. While I did like it, I'm not sure I'll repurchase!

Unknown brand blush: I got this in a gift set & have about 3 more pots left to work through in different shades. This was a very pigmented blush & had a long lasting power. Very similar to my MAC blush.

MAC Amplified Lipstick - Craving: I quite like the colour of this lipstick, it is probably best described as a plum pink. It has good lasting power and is quite creamy. Would not repurchase as I have a back up left!

Hope you all had a fab week!
