One Brand Project Pan: Wet n Wild Intro

Hello lovelies, I have decided that I am going to get a head start on my project pans for next year. It has been a while since I have done one of these one brand focused project pans and I decided that it would be Wet n Wild since I have a bit of product from this brand that I can work on. I chose some products that I have been using pretty much everyday anyway so I am not too worried about getting through these products in a decent amount of time. 


Coverall Powder - Already some serious pan on this powder. I enjoy this powder when I am using something lighter weight and I want a bit more of coverage. This is the second one of these that I will be working through so that should tell you how I feel about this powder.

Contouring Palette - highlight shade - This is helpful when I need something a little more brightening underneath my eyes. Great natural way to highlight the face without a glow or shimmer. It just lightens my face up.

Contouring Palette - contour shade - This is a really great natural contour for me. Especially since I get a little paler in the winter, this creates the perfect shadow. I know for a fact that I will be repurchasing this when I finish it.

Coverall Foundation - This may take me a little longer than the other products because it is a bit dark for me. It can get to full coverage pretty quick and I don't really like that right now so I have to be a little careful when applying it. But when I get it right, it is absolutely a beautiful foundation and such an inexpensive option! 

Lipstick in 902C Bare it All - This is something that is going to take me a little longer to get through since it is matte and I don't need that much of it. I love this shade though for everyday and I don't need to reapply it that often so it will be a perfect option for when I start teaching full days in January. 

These are staple products for an everyday look for me. I really enjoy all of these products and I don't think I will have any trouble getting through all of these. I will let you all know from now that I would definitely be repurchasing these when I use them all up.

9 By New Years Update #2

Hello lovelies, Its been a few more weeks since my last update on this project and this will probably be my last before the finale. I have unfortunately only managed to finish 1 more product for the grand total of 2!...please note the bitter sarcasm at the fact that the progress on the other products is not so promising. 


Urban Decay - Hit pan on W.O.S - This happened this morning and it was about darn time! The dip in this is huge because I use a larger brush with it to set my eye base. It is a good palette and I have been really enjoying getting more use out of it lately.


Evelyn Iona - Cream blush in Ash - What was left in this was all against the sides and it was hard to get my brush covered evenly so I had to reset it to the middle. There isn't much left in here, but I don't know that I can actually get it finished.

Essence - Lip Liner in In the Nude - Didn't really reach for this as much. My lips have been really dry lately and this lip liner just doesn't agree with dry lips.

Maybelline - Babylips in Strike a Rose - Same progress as last time. I have been really trying with this one, but I think the only way I can finish this is if I look like a clown for the rest of the month and that it just not happening. I think when this project it over I will just give this to my niece since I feel like it isn't really moisturizing my lips that much.

Bite Beauty - Lipstick in Pepper - Only a little progress because I decided that I would instead focus on finishing the Covergirl lipstick since it is older. There probably won't be much more progress on this by the end of the month.

Revlon - Colorstay eyeliner in Charcoal - tiniest bit of progress on this because I actually forgot that this was in this project and I just wasn't reaching for it. I will try to make more of an effort, but there is no way that I will finish this!

Covergirl - lipstick in Rush - It is going to be a stretch, but I am really going to try and finish this lipstick. It is basically the only lipstick I have been wearing. I didn't do much the week of thanksgiving and so I didn't wear this and I think that made a bit of a difference. However, this will literally be on my lips every day for the next month.

Revlon - Nearly Naked Foundation - This is the only foundation that I have been reaching for so I am not surprised that I have made such steady progress throughout this project. I think it is actually possible for me to finish this one.

So there it is. There is definitely progress on the products, but with only a month left,...I think I can get the foundation, lip liner, and covergirl lipstick done. Until then though I will be kicking my butt working on these products so that even if they aren't done by the end of the year, they won't be in 2017 for too long.
