Project 10 Pan update: finally hitting pan!

I thought I'd give you a quick update on how I'm progressing with P10P.

After feeling a little disheartened over the looong time it takes to finish makeup items my motivation to see this through has strengthened because over the last few weeks I've actually hit pan on a few things.  It's like seeing that light at the end of the tunnel!  Here's the proof:

Now, after being a blushing freak in the early 1990's (ya know, wearing the contouring "stripes") I gave up using blush altogether for years because I preferred to look natural and low key.  Well, I realised there's nothing unnatural about looking healthy so it came back into my makeup routine just over a year ago.  Anyway, the point is I haven't finished off a blush pan in years and now - look! - I think my little essence blush is gonna be the first to go in a long time.  Exciting!

Well, look at this one!  After daily use my MAC Select Sheer pressed powder has really copped a beating!  This isn't surprising because I usually go through a few pans a year so this one is guaranteed.  I can't wait to finish this because I'll have enough empties to go Back 2 MAC for a free lipstick.  I've allowed myself this one indulgence during my makeup and lipstick ban so I'm looking forward to that.  The tough decision will be which lipstick to choose?

Now just for good measure here's an old Revlon eyeshadow palette (Tickled Pink) that's nearly half-way gone.  Because these are all soft and shimmery highlight shades I'm sure I'll finish this - although it's still a long way off.

Even if I wasn't doing P10P I still have a sense of satisfaction and achievement when I've loved makeup items all the way to the bottom of the pan.  Just wish I could do it faster than I accumulate them - now that would be an impossible challenge for me at least!

What have you hit pan on lately or what do you hit pan on regularly?  I'd love to know.

Until next time.
