Review: Voluminous Million Lashes + Project Pan Update

Hey gorgeous girls!
First off, please send me some requests in my email (soblushable@yahoo.com) or leave them down below!
Secondly, I hit pan on one product for my project pan! Go check out my original post for my personal rules:
Original Project Pan Post

I hit pan on a powder included in this Ulta makeup kit in the shade light/medium.

Yes there it is! The coveted silver. This powder is actually really nice for a natural looking finish. It's not the best for keeping you matte all day long or in coverage but it is decent.

Now, for what this post should be about: the review.
I recently picked up the L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes in 645 Noir Black. This mascara is my favorite mascara I have yet to try though as I have not tried too many, I might not repurchase for a while.

The packaging, in my opinion, is very classy. The gold is slightly reflective and I really love the simple lettering. It is a little bit bulky though.

The wand has plastic bristles. I like the fact that the shape gets smaller at both ends so you don't have to do the weird hand-twisty motion, if you know what I mean.








Now for my super short lashes this does amazing things. My favorite part, is that with one coat I get really great lashes for everyday, but I can build it up more. I found the best way to apply this didn't include an wiggling. Just put it to the base of my lashes and then go straight up. The formula is not too wet, nor too dry and once this mascara is on your lashes it's not too hard, but it does dry completely.

(no mascara on the right, mascara on the left)

It lasts all day long without any smudging or migrating to my lower lash line.
It was around $7 which is a little bit pricey for a drugstore mascara, but all makeup is getting more expensive so it's all good.

Rating:

Product: 5/5
Texture: 5/5
Lasting power: 5/5
Application: 5/5
Packaging: 4/5
Overall: A, this product is amazing on all levels but the packaging is just a bit bulky.

Project Pan

Hey guys!

So if you read my haul post, you know I'm going on a “Project Pan”.

If you don't know what a Project Pan is, it's when you stop buying makeup until you use up/hit pan on a certain amount of products. Usually its Project 10 Pan, but you can put any number in there, or make up your own set of rules...like I did.

So my project pan, really shouldn't be called Project Pan, because I basically made all of my own rules. Instead of creating a list of the products I want to use up, I am making a list of a category. Such as I need to hit pan on 1 blush. It doesn't have to be a specific blush, just a blush in general. Some products I need to hit pan (see some of the metal packaging at the bottom), and others I must finish completely. I am not allowed to buy makeup OR perfume/body spray/lotion type products OR nail polish. Also, if I completely finish a product that I only said I needed to hit pan on, I can take away another object.

Also, as I do not have a lot of makeup, once I use up a product, and I don't have any extra, I will be allowed to go out and buy the product, but only if I do not have another product that can replace it.

In addition, if I do not finish the project before August (which I most likely will not), I will allow myself to go out and treat myself with either a piece of makeup OR a body product OR a nail polish.. Just one, and after August, every six months I will allow myself to “splurge.” Until I am done with the project.

So now onto my list:

Hit Pan:

A Bronzer

A Blush

Powder

Highlighter

Lid Eyeshadow

Crease Eyeshadow

Highlight Eyeshadow

Finish:

1 eyeliner

1 lipgloss

1 side of brow gel

Now you may be asking...what is the point if you don't even have a lot of makeup? I am still young, so I do not have a lot of money. I have found myself buying makeup instead of clothes, or other things and I already have makeup I haven't been using. Now, I may not end up finishing everything I want to before I stop. But it just matters how long it takes. I don't use a lot of makeup (like I don't layer on a bunch of blush) so if I finish most of it, but not my blush, I don't want to have to wait for another year to finish. I will try to have updates when it is interesting. (:
