Cleaning Out My Makeup, Project Pan Update!!

Hello, beauties!! A few months ago, I showed you what makeup I was trying to use up and here I am again with an update. I used up most of the products I put aside in a makeup bag(see post Spring Cleaning My Makeup?? Project Pan???) so I went through my stash and picked out some more products I wanted to attempt to use and possibly use up. I decided to put a full face of makeup in here for the days I really don't want to do much with my makeup, either due to it being to hot or just pure laziness.

 For a foundation, I decided I wanted to use my Covergirl BB Cream. I'm almost out of this and just want it out of my collection. I like it, but compared to other bb creams out there, its just not that great.  It offers ok coverage but does nothing for dark marks or acne scaring. It's more of a tinted moisturizer.
 This is by far one of my favorite face primers.  It's only a sample size that I received in a Target beauty bag.  Pixie's Flawless and Poreless. This I should be done with in the next few days. I will most likely be making a trip to repurchase once I go through some other face primers I have.
 I don't know if they've reformulated Urban Decay's Primer Potion or if its just the new packaging but I like this primer so much more now. I feel like I get better coverage to cover my pigmented eyelids with this than I did in the old packaging. I'm almost out of this and will probably be done by the end of the month. Will I repurchase? I don't know. I have several other primers I to go through and found a cheap drugstore alternative.
This is the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Pressed Powder. I simply love this powder! I don't want to use this up but I always need to use this in conjunction with the Covergirl BB Cream to add more coverage and set the bb cream.
Oh my Covergirl Shimmering Sands Trio....so loved!! As you can see by the huge chuck of pan in the center shadow, I tend to use this a lot.
I've been doing something unusual for me and using bronzer. Normally I only do this when I'm sick and therefore even paler than normal.  But lately I've been enjoying taking this Rimmel Bronzer(so old that I can't even read the packaging anymore) with a large powder brush and sweeping it all over my face.  And this bronzer is very old(I'm sad to say I think almost 2 years) and I want to use it up.
One of my favorite blushes of all time. This is NYX's Mocha. I got into a blush rut and haven't used this in ages so I wanted to give it some love. I'm trying to change out the blush in this bag at least once or twice a month so I can use all my blushes. When did I start to collect so many blushes??

Lastly, for a lip product, I decided to throw in this NYC Applelicious I received in an Influenster box recently. I don't remember the name of this but its a great little tinted lip balm. It's very moisturizing and smells amazing! It doesn't offer much in the way of color but I do like this when I just want a little something on my lips. Of course, I change up my lip color every day so I don't stick with just this.    
 
Ok, those are all the products in my current bag of products to use up. If you want to see when I do use them up, subscribe to my beauty channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/bellsbeauty where I do empties videos. Thanks for reading! Have a good weekend!!

Target Fall Beauty Bag

 

 

009

Every once in a while, Target gives out free beauty bags on facebook.  This one is sadly the last. I’ve only received two of these bags.  This one wasn’t that exciting all it contained was a couple of shampoo samples.  Granted it is free and I shouldn’t complain, I wish the samples were a little better.

012

Included in the bag was:
Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner
L’oreal EverCreme Sulfate Free Nourishing Shampoo and Condioner and Deep Nourishing Masque
Fakkai Shea Butter Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner 
Pixie Flawless Beauty Primer
Jergens Daily Moisture Lotion

The Pixie Primer is sort of exciting but a bigger sample would have been better so I could try it more than once.  The lotion is really nice. As usual the bag came with a booklet of coupons which is really nice. The last bag’s coupon book had more coupons for makeup than this one does but I’ll take any savings I can get.  If you got the beauty bag, what did you think of it?
