It's been so long since I posted a hit-the-pan post. I have recently moved and de-cluttered, re-designed my daily routine, organized my stash, and started using up every product imaginable. It's been productive. I've acquired so much over these last few years.

It's finally over!




Here is a list of products I really enjoyed using: TRESemme FreshStart Refreshing Mist - Smells fresh and works reasonably well for most hair
Victoria's Secret Lemon Paradise Hydration Lotion - VS lotions smell amazing!
Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Intensive Age-Renewal Eye Cream and Day Cream - works well, but very costly
La Roche Posay Effaclar K Anti-Relapse - quite nice, smooth and delicate texture works wonderfully for oily or combination skin
ModelCo Lipstick and Gloss duo - wonderful, creamy lip product, but the packing was poorly made, it broke down on me after about a month
Essence Cover Stick in True Nude - really great concealer for super cheap! I've already purchased 3 more

Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me - works so well on dry lips
Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange Roller - lovely scent
Delon+ Moisturizing Butter in Mango - so soothing! I would love to get it again
Elizabeth Grant Exotic Apricot Shower Gel - luxurious and nourishing
Vitamin C Daily Moisture Lotion SPF 30 - it was so good that I got another!
Sunsilk Captivating Curls Conditioner and Shampoo - one of the best for my frizzy hair
Olay Total Effects 7 in 1 Cleanser - soothing and non-irritating, works well for aging skin
Alba Botanica Natural Hawaiian Conditioners and Shampoos - smells great, and gives so much more volume
Alpha Hydrox The Original Enhanced Lotion 10% Glycolic AHA Anti-Wrinkle + 10% Cream - one of the most talked about products actually works! I am now on the hunt to get some more
Lancome Bi Facil Double Action Makeup Remover - this is my 3rd and it works so well that I've gotten more
NYX HD Foundation in Nude 01 - Amazing! This is already by 4th and I'm now using my 5th bottle. It blends so well.
Benefit BadGal Lash Mascara - so great, it's definitely my favourite

I’ve been regularly hitting the pan, in other words, finishing up the products. In the last few months, I have finally completed quite a few. It feels rewarding to be able to finish. Finally! I’m glad I rarely throw out beauty items into the garbage, unless of course, it’s something that absolutely has to be thrown out. Take a look at the full list:

• Dove Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash: 4/5 - skin feels smoother
• Sexy Hair Curly Sexy Hair Shampoo: 4/5 - perfect for wavy hair
• Philosophy Holiday Lights Aglow Shampoo and Body Wash: 3/5 - smells great, but somewhat drying and pricey, although, perfect for a bubble bath
• Befine Skin Care line - provided by GlossyBox: 5/5 - excellent quality, natural, leaves skin glowing. I may purchase full size products, but it's hard to find, and their online assortment seems limited. 
• Clarks Botanicals - from Glymm bag: 4/5 - a very good resurfacing moisturizer, but very expensive at full price
• Herbaflor Organic RoseHip Oil: 4/5 - the oil is quickly absorbant, nourishing, prevents skin damage, and smoothes out wrinkles
• Lancome Bienfait Multi-Vital Moisturizing Cream: 4/5 - affordable, high quality, non-greasy cream that  is perfect for daily use - with spf 30
• Joico K-PAK Revitaluxe: 3/5 - it's OK, I didn't find it all that great.
• Cyberderm Moisturizer Samples from Glymm: 4/5 These are very potent and creamy, and seem like a good investment in the future.
• Got2B Got 2 Be 2 Sexy Voluptuous Volume Mousse: 3/5 Works well, but feels somewhat sticky
• John Frieda SheerBlonde Lightening Conditioner: 5/5 This is my favourite conditioner. It leaves my hair feeling smooth and silky, and makes the blonde highlights much brighter. 
• Naked Princess - Naked Shine Luscious Lip Gloss in Barely Nude - this was such a small sample from Glymm that I could barely notice a difference 
• Rimmel Hide the Blemish Concealer in Ivory 001: 4/5, full Review coming soon
• Principessa - Bacio Me Lip Balm: Click Here for Review
• Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Conditioner: 4/5 Great product for the price
• Macadamia Natural Oil Healing Oil Treatment: 5/5 Amazing!
• Macadamia Healing Oil Spray: 4/5 Amazing! full reviews to come
• Vitamine & Sea Clay Mask: 3/5 - felt like any other clay mask 
• The Body Shop Natrulift Firming Day Cream with organic pomegranate: 3.5/5 Nothing special
• Tom Ford Lavender Palm: 2/5 Smells like soap!
• Atelier Cologne Trefle Pur: 4/5 Love it!
• Olay Regenerist Moisturizer: 3/5 OK, but not great. Will not buy again.
• Social Butterfly Hair Perfume: 3/5 Convenient to have in case of emergency hair day
• CK One Eau De Toilette
• Dove Damage Therapy Burst Conditioner
• John Frieda Frizz Ease Sheet Solution Lightweight Frizz Control
• Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner
• Sebastian Volupt Shampoo: 4.5/5 Love, love love it! This is perfect for my hair, and I don't have to wash it as often. 
• Mai Couture Foundation Papier: 3/5 I like the idea, but it needs something more
• Got2B Kinky Curling Mousse: 4/5 I love most products by Got2B. They are incredibly affordable and work very well. This one was no exception. 
• Victoria's Secret Island Waters Coconut Water & Pineapple Moisturizing Cream: 3.5/5 The scent is too strong, and I may have developed allergies. 
• Amir Argan Oil Moisturizing Conditioner: 2/5 Did absolutely nothing and it's quite pricey!

I've been going through my stash of samples and skincare like there's no tomorrow! This is great for my drawers are slowly becoming empti-er. I've been committed to using skincare products daily - at least three times a day. Individual reviews to come!

A makeup jargon, hitting pan is when you use a product so much that you hit the pan that the makeup is packaged in. I am always incredibly happy when I hit pan with my products! yay!

Here's what I've finished up in the past few weeks:
