Project Pan: Fourth Product Completed: Biotherm Biosource Cleansing Milk

Yesterday was very busy for me so I didn't have a chance to update the fact that I finished my Biotherm Biosource Cleansing Milk for normal or combination skin in the morning. The normal size of this product is 200 ml but I purchased the 400 ml while it was on special so this took quite a while to finish. Biotherm describes this product as: "This refreshing, delicately scented milk removes makeup and thoroughly cleanses the skin. Rinses well with toner or water. It leaves the skin clear and fresh."

Although I loved how well this product removed makeup I did not love how it made my skin after. I just didn't feel clean. Because of my combination skin, I like to feel squeaky clean. This is a good cleanser for while I'm sick or dehydrated though.




Have you tried this product before? What's your opinion on using a cleansing milk versus a foam or gel?

Project Pan: Third Product Completed: Lush Alkmaar Bath Soap

This morning I completed my third product, which was the Lush Alkmaar Bath Soap. Now, I didn't completely think this through, so please forgive me, I have no picture to prove it's done. Here's a picture of Lush's website.

This was a great soap. I felt clean and yet moisturized, which is uncommon for me to find. I don't like anything overly moisturizing because then I don't feel clean. My only issue with this soap was the scent. It was just OKAY. I will purchase another Lush bath soap, but not in this scent.



What's your favourite Lush soap?

POLL: WHAT'S ONE MAKE-UP PRODUCT THAT YOU HAVE WAY TOO MUCH OF?

As you will notice on the right hand side of my blog, I had posted a poll asking everyone "WHAT'S ONE MAKE-UP PRODUCT THAT YOU HAVE WAY TOO MUCH OF?". 

The options were:

1. Eyeshadow
2. Mascara
3. Lipgloss/ Lipstick
4. Blush/ Bronzer


The win by far, with a total of 60%, was Eyeshadow. Like you, I too have so much eyeshadow (palettes, singles, quads, etc.) that I will NEVER be able to go through them all. There are so many different colours and finishes that I never feel like I have just the right shade. Lately I've had a thing for golds. My favourite gold is the Stila eyeshadow in Sparkle, which is currently being phased out.

I'm very upset that this colour is going because I find it looks good on almost anyone. It's great alone, with a a neutral colour like a chocolate brown, or even with a pop of colour like forest green or plum. It's just a fantastic colour for the holidays.


What should my next poll be about?

Project Pan: Second Product Completed: Mac Brush Cleaner

I just finished unpacking from a much needed little get-away including some wine tours. As such I started to clean my brushes and low and behold I finished my Mac Brush Cleaner. I don't understand all the ranting and raving behind this products because I found that I had to still clean my brushes afterward.

I will not be repurchasing this product as I find that baby shampoo works a ton better. I will however keep the bottle for Back 2 Mac.


What's your favourite brush cleaner?

Project Pan: First Product Completed: Clarins Extra-Firming Foundation with SPF 15

Good morning everyone, today I finished a foundation. The foundation I finished was the Clarins Extra-Firming Foundation with SPF 15. This is product was fantastic. It was light weight, had medium coverage, and was oil-free. It was the perfect shade, and blended well with my skin.

I will definitely repurchase this foundation once I have finished my others. This product lasted me quite a while because I only needed 2 pumps for a "full coverage" look. This was a great buy.


What's your favourite foundation?
