April’s Project Pan!
I have missed posting at the beginning of last month but I want to continue my project panning. I want to downsize my makeup more because I hope to move in the next year or so! I try to match my products to each other to help them blend easier! Most are all water based!
💛 elf setting spray: I actually really like this spray and will repurchase in summer. I find it similar to the all nighter from urban decay.
💛 essence lash princess: I love this mascara and have been using it for years. I used to use the it cosmetics superhero mascara but it was so expensive back then and more so now. However my only gripe is that both formulas are flaking and I am really hoping it’s because they’re both old! But I rarely ever purchase any other mascara, just this line.
💛 wet n wild tinted hydrator: I bought this on a whim and really enjoy it. I will most likely repurchase it especially for summer because it’s not heavy on my skin. It’s light to medium coverage but I can definitely build it to a good medium coverage. I like using a flat top brush or damp sponge!
💛 elf peachy corrector: this has been my best find for my under eyes. I don’t sleep good because I stay up late often. But I love using this after primer and before concealer and foundation. I like blending it out with my fingers.
💛 la girl concealer: I repurchased this after my expensive concealer ran out and remember how good it was. I have been using it consistently for the last couple of weeks and I don’t use a lot. It’s medium ish coverage on me. But I’ve blending it out with a flat top brush and eyes for the under eyes to help melt the product more.
💛 elf finishing powder: bought it this on a whim. I haven’t been able to find a good powder and I don’t like foundation or translucent powder anymore. It’s really nice and cheap! But I think I want to find one with a bigger pan because I feel like I’ll be repurchasing this too often and I rarely wear a lot of makeup or set my base often. But in a pinch I will definitely repurchase.
💛 elf pink power grip: it’s a mini and I’m including it because I’ll be using this more as the days are getting warmer in cali. So far I like it but I don’t think I’ll repurchase it maybe. But it’s good in my t zone.
💛 Milani blur out primer: BEST BLIND BUY. I have been really liking this. I love the elf poreless putty primer and this is totally on par for what it does for my base. I think I like the elf one more but I’ll keep trying this more. I would definitely repurchase!
💛 wet n wild clear gel: I rarely use a brow pencil because I have thick brows. But I love using this product for my brows. It’s so inexpensive and I can often find it at dollar tree or five below. I have gone through like four of these since discovering it like two years ago.
💛 essence nude eyeliner: I have a lot of eyeliners and I need to pick one to use up. This one is a goodie for the awake look and is creamy. I like this more for the price compared to the tarte one.
💛 wet n wild blush: I love brown blush. It has been my go to and this blush made me realize that. This color is naked brown and it’s just chefs kiss. And you don’t need that much product. I don’t mind kick back from the product because I just use it for the next day lol.
💛 nomad kiss of sun highlighter: I have had this for a minute and stopped using it because it is shattered but it’s so pretty. It’s an healthy glow and I can build it for a god blinding moment. But I just need it out of my collection. I have a bit of highlight but I would repurchase this once I have a more manageable amount of makeup!
I don’t have lips shown because I switch it up so much. But I don’t know if I’ll show weekly progress pictures but for sure an end of month progress! What are some products that you guys like? I love looking at new products!

April’s Project Pan encourages beauty enthusiasts to focus on using up their existing makeup products instead of purchasing new ones. This trend is not only budget-friendly but also environmentally conscious, promoting sustainability in the beauty community. In April’s edition, priorities are set on quality and multi-functionality of cosmetics. Popular among users are items like the elf setting spray, which delivers a refreshing finish akin to high-end products like Urban Decay's All Nighter. Similarly, the essence Lash Princess has garnered praise for its performance at an accessible price point. One key element of project panning is the emphasis on building a streamlined routine. For instance, incorporating a tinted hydrator like Wet n Wild's offering helps achieve a light yet effective coverage, perfect for the warmer months ahead. Alongside hydrating products, color correctors like the ELF Peachy Corrector are used to combat darkness under the eyes, making them ideal partners in your daily makeup regime. Furthermore, transitioning between seasons often brings a shift in product preferences, as lighter formulations become more desirable. Users are encouraged to explore products based on their seasonality; for example, spring brings opportunities to showcase soft blush shades and glowing highlighters, enhancing the natural beauty without an overwhelming makeup load. As you embark on your project pan journey, consider documenting your progress through photos and descriptions of each product's performance. This not only fosters a sense of accomplishment but also engages the community, inviting recommendations on beloved items and fostering connections with fellow beauty lovers. What are some products that have made a mark on your routine? Share your experiences and let's celebrate the art of makeup while embracing minimalism!
