Project panning

This year I've found a huge community on youtube which the project pan community. This community is basically about using up the products you already own instead of constantly buying new things. If you follow me on instagram then you will know that I have two projects going on this year. The first one is my 19in2019 which is basically me trying to use up 19 products throughout the year. Now yes I know that sounds insane however some of the products are a smaller or sample size so that are (in theory!) easier to used up.

The second project is a huge community project pan which the graveyard project pan. This was started on youtube and I do mine updates on instagram which quite a few of people are doing. The point of this project is to use up your older projects in your collection or the products that you didn't finished in previous project pan's.




These projects have made me realised that it's so hard to use things up. I have so much makeup from years of going into boots or Superdrug and buying the next best thing. However after using it for a couple of months or even weeks sometimes it goes in a draw and a kind of forget about it which is just wasteful.

I went to America last year and bought a load of makeup from Sephora which I haven't even opened yet because I need to use to use so much up first.






So basically what my point is brands and influencers are there to make you believe that you need the product that they are talking about, whatever it may be. However it's important to remember how long things take to use up and if your going to buy something new just be mindful how many of them you have already.

Always remember where we came from

Over the past couple of months I feel that my body has let me down in many ways. It made me ill out of blue which meant I had to build myself up again which I wasn't planning to do. However after doing this I've know realised what's important, after having this blog for nearly 6 years and posting about beauty and my story it's important to remember why I do what I do. I was at a family event yesterday, and after speaking to one of my relatives who actually reads this blog, I suddenly realised that I've kind of lost touch with why I do, what I do. My story is unique and I am very lucky to have a physical condition but still be able to do what I love. That's partly why I set this up in the first place, is to show that even through you have something that could potentially hold you back that doesn't mean that it should. Having cerebral palsy and epilepsy has had it challenges for sure, however it also shown me the strength I have. I think in the day and age...

top 5 nude lips

Top 5 nude/ neutral lips  My first one is probably the most expensive of my five and it's the Clarins instant lip perfector. This product is kind of light a natural gloss which a slight colour. The scent of this product is just amazing it smells like vanilla and I just love it!! Like I said before it's the most expensive one at £18.00. My next one is from maybelline and if you saw my post earlier in the week then you may have already seen this but this is probably the most bold colour of the five but still very wearable. This is the maybelline colour sensational in petal pink. I really like this colour because it's not quite matte but it so nearly is. My third one is from rimmel and it's called nude pink. Shade name wise I think that this is quite disappointing as a nude pink I think of being a your lips but better, however this lipstick has quite a orangery undertone. The finish of this lipstick is quite glittery and glossy so ...
