pans for March 2024! reviews + thoughts in comments 💕

first-time pan project going well, posting to hold myself accountable to get thru my makeup collection 😀

abt me:

* normal – oily skin depending on season
* daily makeup wearer
* i wash my face 3x a day & do skincare 2x a day

products (RP – (loved and) repurchased, WRP – would repurchase, WNRP – would not repurchase):

* The Face Shop Perfume Seed Body Scrub: gently exfoliating, nice-smelling shower product, WRP
* Hada Labo Gokujyun Toner: my teenage holy grail, now lovingly replaced by my Tatcha toner but still holding a place in my heart. WRP
* Lush Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser: i heard so many good things abt this but the smell was very strong and it broke me out unfortunately. WNRP
* Lush Enzymion Moisturizer: i found this one too matte for my skin type and not hydrating enough, would have been good otherwise imo. WNRP
* Sol de Janeiro Beija Flor Elasti-Cream Mini: Sephora reward that ruined my life. fully converted to the Sol de Janeiro hype. RP
* Lush Gingerbread Lip Scrub: fun little thing i picked up during the Christmas sale, was nice to buff my lips but i found it less effective than other lip balms. WNRP
* Belif Moisturizing Eye Cream Mini: got as part of the Belif set, haven’t touched the other ones yet. my undereyes felt more hydrated and bags were less visible. WRP
* Estée Lauder Pure Colour Eyeshadow Duo in 60 Tea Biscuit + 35 Cinnamon: hereditary product passed onto me by my mom who is an estee lauder girlie. nice pigment and easy to apply. WRP
* Lancôme Blush Subtil Shimmer in 128 Blushing Trésor: another one from my mom who is also a lancome girlie. very much liked this blush as it was just the right balance of shimmery and pigmented. she happened to have another one that i yoinked too. RP
* Rimmel BB Cream in Very Light: grabbed as part of an excursion to Shoppers as i didn’t have foundation on me. hated how liquidy it was but it did its job. WNRP
* Origins Ginzing Brightening Serum Mini: another Sephora reward that i ended up liking a lot; very effective and quite strong. WRP
* YSL Pure Shots Night Reboot Serum Mini: a little tester that came as part of my Christmas present from my better half! i enjoyed this product a lot together with the Paula’s Choice, though the pump really had a difficult time reaching the bottom. WRP
* Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Mini: i saw all the hype around this one and had to redeem it from Sephora. worked wonders on my skin and i got compliments on my skin texture without makeup (which i’m p insecure abt). RP
* Bioré UV Aqua Rich Sunscreen: my holy grail sunscreen that i bought like six of and now am trying to desperately pan so i can try the Shiseido one my mom swears by. still works wonders. RP
* Revlon Colour Stay Liquid Liner: worked really well until it didn’t. the brush is fine and delicate and really great for makeup, but as soon as the product starts to run out/dry it becomes impossible to get a fine line from. WNRP
* Heroine Make Mascara: came recommended from a friend, found a bit too chunky for my lashes. WNRP
* Too Faced Lip Injection Maximum Plump: oof ouch ouchie WNRP
* Clarins Lip Comfort Oil Mini in 04 Pitaya: got as part of the Perfect Pout kit from Sephora and stop im addicted. i get it now girlies i get why we all love oil. suuuuper comforting but i wish it was more long-lasting bc i’m always sipping on smth throughout the day and it rubs off quite easily, but i do like more pigmented lip colours so i might be just applying a lot.
