Maybelline Super Stay 24hr Foundation update

I am having some doubts about one of the products I included in my project 10 pan. I've been using the Maybelline Super Stay 24hr foundation every day, and I think it is breaking me out. I can't be 100% sure about it, as I have been very very lazy with my daily facial routine (i.e. not taking my make up off at night). I know I have been very very naughty. So I am giving it a second chance, I'll keep using it for another week or so, but this time being very rigorous about my skincare regimen.

As for product quality. I love the texture. It is light but not sheer. It is more of a medium cover, and the consistency is not as heavy as MAC studio fix fluid, nor as Revlon's Colorstay. It is a lighter formula with a "fresher" consistency. The colours are a bit orangey for my likeing but not terrible. As for staying power, I am not too sure about the 24 hr thing, but it does stay on without melting for at least 6 hrs, in cold weather. I've got oily skin and the weather in London has suddenly turned slightly warmer. The foundation is still in place but it does feel a bit oily. It doesnt look oily but to the touch it definately feels oily. I think this foundation is better suited for people with normal skin rather than oily. But please keep in mind this is just my opinion. I will continue to try this product properly for another week and if it doesnt break me out I will test it until I finish the product and then review it properly as I do believe this foundatio has some potential.

Stay tuned for swatches and comparisons with MAC SFF and Revlon CS.

Project 10 Pan

One of the first things I want to tackle is my compulsiveness, especially for beauty products. So following the steps of some of my favourite youtube bloggers (lolipop26, AllThatGlitters21) I will start a Project 10 Pan.

Most of the make up I have, I have never really used. And when I say never, I really do mean never. So to give everything I have a fair trail, I will choose 10 products I will use up until they touch pan. And to tackle my compulsive buying I will not be allowed to purchase any beauty products until I have used up all 10 products from my Project 10 Pan.

Other than having 10 lip products I will try and mix it up a little.

Face: 1) Maybelline - Super Stay 24hr foundation
2) Miss Sporty - Ohh Blushed Again in 002 Rose
3) L'Oreal - Bare Naturale Mineral Foundation
4) Clinique - Wash Away Gel Cleanser

Lips:  5) L'Oreal - Color Riche in 102 Sugar Rose
6) Rimmel - Moisture Re-new in 700 Nude Delight
7) Barry M - Lip Gloss Wand in 2 Toffee

Eyes: 8) Clinique - High Impact Mascara
9) Maybelline - Khol Express in Glam Black
10) Clinique - All About Eyes
