Project 18 Pan: Real Talk

Bre recently reminded me that I'm "supposed" to be on project pan.  I think I kind of forgot about it during the blog move a few weeks back.  But excuses aside, I really need to stop blowing all my money on cosmetics, toiletries and the like because I'm obviously out of freakin' control.  So, as of today, I'm on a strict, serious beauty budget.

My Rules:

1. I will not buy any cosmetics, toiletries, or other beauty-related products until I finish the contents of every item on my list.  (Notice I said finish, not simply hit pan on.)

2. The only exception is if I finish a necessary skincare or shower product that I don't have a backup/replacement for.

My Products:

Cosmetics

1. Benefit Realness of Concealness Palette

2. Pixi Sheer Cheek Tint in Natural

3. Boots No7 High Lights Illuminating Lotion

4. NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss (1 tube, any color)

5. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Stain (2 sticks, any color)

6. e.l.f. Studio Golden Bronzer

7. e.l.f. Studio Translucent Mattifying Powder

8. e.l.f. Studio Translucent Loose Powder

Skin Care & Shower

9. the Body Shop Cucumber Cleansing Lotion

10. the Body Shop Cucumber Water

11. Yes to Blueberries Eye Roller

12. Jergens Natural Glow Daily Facial Moisturizer (Fair to Medium)

13. Gud by Burt's Bees Body Wash

14. Up & Up Shaving Cream

Hair Products

15. Redken CurlConditioner
16. Organix Hydrating Macadamia Oil Shampoo

17. Organix Hydrating Macadamia Oil Intensive Moisture Mask
18. Organix Moroccan Argan Curling Perfection Defining Cream

Don't worry; this definitely doesn't mean I won't still be posting reviews, swatches and the like, as I have tons of products I've scarcely (if at all) touched, much less blogged about.

Do you adhere to a beauty budget?  Have you ever participated in project pan?

If so, do you have any advice for me?  If not, would you ever do it?

Wish me luck.

XOXO, T

P.S. Stay tuned for pictures of all the products I plan on finishing, in the next day or two.
