Empties Update #1 - Project Pan


Here is my most recent empties. I stated in my last post that I had only used of 61/100 to date, but I had a few products end in the last few days, so I thought I would share them with you. Sadly, I only had one makeup empty, *sigh* skincare is so much easier to use up. If you haven't already read my previous post on my Project 100 Pan, please do!



Mario Badescu Glycolic Skin Renewal Complex, Phytojoba Intense Hydrating Shampoo, Make Up For Ever HD Primer, Blushees.blogspot.com



61. Phyto Phytojoba Intense Hydrating Shampoo Deluxe Sample. 

I got this deluxe sample from Sephora in a 500 point perk. I didn't have high expectations when I saw this little glass bottle with my other goodies, but after 6 uses, I have fallen in love. The first time I used it, I immediately noticed a difference in my hair, it was like my medium dry hair had turned into silky manageable strands! This shampoo can be purchased at Sephora for $19.00. I would definitely purchase the full size of this shampoo. 


62. Mario Badescu Glycolic Skin Renewal Complex.

I purchased this from Ulta a few months ago when I ran out of MB Protein Night Cream, which I loved, but Ulta was out of stock. Although this did moisturize my skin and I feel that it did make my skin a bit more glowy, I would not recommend this night cream to anyone with dry skin. Unfortunately I would not repurchase this cream. This can be purchased from Mario Badescu for $35.00.

63. Make Up For Ever HD Microperfecting Primer in #5 Blue.  

This foundation primer claims to add radiance and reduce minor skin imperfections on fair skin. I have porcelain skin, and thought that this sounded like a brilliant product to make my skin not look so lifeless. Although this was a nice primer, I feel that it did what every other primer did and I did not notice any extra radiance in my complexion. I would not repurchase this product, though you can pick it up from Sephora for $34.00.


Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion, Boscia Clear Complexion Tonic, Nelsons Acne Gel, Blushees.blogspot.com


64. Boscia Clear Complexion Tonic Value Kit Sized. 

I purchased this on a mission to end my cystic acne, a failed venture, but one none the less. I think this is an OK toner, but nothing special. I personally like either moisturizing toners or exfoliating toners (Thanks Caroline! I wonder what your eyebrow would think of this toner.) I would not repurchase this product, there are so many better toners out there that do a better job with acne that are more cost effective. Full sized product can be purchased at Sephora for $24.00.
*Note: I like the bottle, I have since re-purposed it. The original liquid was green.

65. Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion. 

This is the ONLY product I have found/tried to date that actually is effective against cystic acne. This significantly reduces the size and stay of my cysts. I apply this product daily, even though the directions suggest using this every other day. I find that this product does not dry out my dehydrated skin, so for me this product is a necessity. I would definitely repurchase this product and I am most definitely going to cheat and buy this product before I should. ;) To buy: Mario Badescu for $17.00 (Definitely worth the price, the product lasted me for ages.)

66. Nelsons Acne Gel for Pimples and Blemishes.

I bought this product from Whole Foods a while ago (on another cystic acne mission of course) and I used about half of it. I then tossed it aside and forgot about it for 6 months. When it resurfaced, I thought I would give it another go since it does not expire until December 2013. This has increased the efficiency of my beloved Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion. I apply this gel, which has healing and soothing homeopathic ingredients, on top of the Buffer Lotion. This decreases the redness and painfulness of my cystic acne and it deals with the little white heads that I occasionally have. Luckily I have a back up of this bad boy, because I would be hurting without it. (Sadly it hurts literally, cystic acne is a beast.) I would repurchase this again and again, you can too from Amazon for $7-8. 

I hope you found these mini reviews of my most recent product empties and if you are on Project Pan, I hope things are going swell. :)
