Delightful Illusions


          Hey, guys! How are you? I apologize for my inactivity the past month because I took my Comprehensive Exam last August 1 and 2. I'm currently taking Master of Arts in Guidance Counseling and I recently finished all of my subjects so I took the Comprehensive Exam. I concentrated in reading my notes so I wasn't able to blog a lot on July. Anyways, I decided to start another project which I call Finish 14 by Valentine's Day. This project is done through a roulette style where I have picked up 14 product categories in a draw lot manner. My goal is to use up 14 products by February 14 next year and I have tweaked the rules a little bit. Instead of focusing only on the products that I have picked up, I'll be picking another category whenever I finish a product. It doesn't matter if I haven't finished all of the products I have picked up, as long as I get to finish 14 products by Valentine's Day. Do you get what I mean? :)

           I started using the products for this challenge since last month and these shots were also taken last month. You will notice that some of this products are also included in my other project pan project; I want those products to be given an extended time to be finished since I want to use them up so bad and I don't want to just throw them away. I you want to know what categories I have picked up and the product I have chosen, just keep on reading. 


          A nail polish! Whoo! This product is so opaque and dries quickly. Why is this called Blueberry? Haha! I've used this in a nail art and looked so cute. See my thumb on the picture above, that's what this nail polish looks like on my nails. I am hoping to finish this product since its old and I don't want to waste this because it was given to me by my cousin as a Christmas gift.



          Let's see if I can finish this eyeshadow which is also included in my Pan That Palette Challenge 2016. This is one of my favorite eye shadows of all time because it makes my brown eyes pop. 


          I only have 2 MAC products in my collection and both of them are eye shadows. I chose Honey Lust because this has always been neglected. It's a high quality eyeshadow; it's pigmented, blendable and so glittery in a good way. I have been using this lately as a topping on my lids and loving it so far. I do not anticipate in finishing this product by Valentine's Day because that is just impossible. What I'll do is to use this as much as I can and see if I can hit the pan. ;)


          Daaaammmmmnnnnnn, another eyeshadow! What can I do? This is a draw lots sampling method! Haha! I like this shadow for the lids but I have other shadows that I need to focus on. I don't think I would use up this product as well. Maybe a hit pan too? 


          Another eyeshadow! This matte pink shade would be really nice as a transition color. To be honest, ever since I started this project I have not yet used it on my looks. I kind of forgot about this one. How couldn't I? A lot of eyeshadows are inculded in my project pans. Haha! Maybe I could finish this one by February 14. :)


          I am loving this concealer so far. The coverage is medium to full, has creamy and thick consistency, stays all through the day and doesn't break me out. The only problem I have with this is the shade. I got the darkest one! I was supposed to get number 2 but I got this instead. If I blend this properly, the shade difference isn't visible at all. Overall, a great product. I am hoping to finish this by Valentine's Day.


My holy grail mascara. I have talked about this for so many times now and I'm not gonna elaborate anymore. This my 4th tube and I don't see any problems in using this one up. What's a mascare? Haha! Sorry for the typo. :D<3 nbsp="" p="">


          This is one of those products that I really really love but haven't talked about yet. This is my favorite liquid liner from the drugstore. The product itself is pigmented, stays put all throughout the day, doesn't budge but is so easy to remove. This product doesn't claim to be waterproof nor long lasting but it does a great job in staying in place. This comes with a felt tip applicator which makes the application process easier. Yes, it's a felt tip applicator in a wand. Unique, right? 


          This eyeliner is included in my Products I Want To Use Up in 2016 Challenge and currently being worked in progress. I will not talk about this product anymore because I do updates on the other challenge. As long as I get to finish this liner, I'm good with that. 


          Another product that is all included in my Products I Want To Use Up in 2016 Challenge. :)


          A nice lotion for everyday hydration. I finished this one last night. Yay! I have picked another category and will be shown on my update. Stay tuned for that. :)


          You've seen the palette countless times. I'm sorry! This also included in my Products I Want To Use Up In 2016 Challenge.


          You've seen this product a countless times as well. Well, I hope I could finish this even before the Valentine's Day comes. :)


          Monomola Long Lasting Lip Color in Cherry Red - this is one of those famous lip tattoos that you apply on your lips, let it dry for 10-15 minutes, and peel it off. I hate this product because it takes time, the color payoff isn't satisfying and isn't long lasting at all. I'll throw this away after this project ends. That's how awful it is. 

          Those are the products I have chosen for this challenge. This is really challenging since I have no control on the product categories picked. I'll do maybe 2-3 updates before the finale. The goal of this challenge is to use up 14 products before on February 14, 2017. I am hoping for this project to successful as I have failed on my past attempts. Please stay tuned for the updates and witness my journey as I go on with this challenge. :)

        Are you doing this challenge too? What are your thoughts about it? Please let us know by leaving a comment down below. Comments, suggestions, and reactions are always welcome and encouraged. :) Thank you so much for reading and dropping by. Have a great day. Stay safe. XOXO

          Hi! I'm Sylden and welcome to my blog. :) For today's post, I will talking about Project Pan Roulette and what are the products I have included on this challenge. Project Pan Roulette is basically a challenge where you pick products of certain categories, use those items, giving your self a time frame, but done in a roulette style. I have never seen a vlogger/blogger who had used an actual roulette (Haha!)  to pick their products; I have seen some people write the product categories on papers, roll them and pick as many as they want. Usually, people will switch products every 2 months, when a season ends, or when a certain date comes (i.e. 4th of July). In my own interpretation, I think that this project aims mainly to use products in a switching manner on a year, or for a period of time.

          If you have been reading my blog for a while, you know that I currently have 3 projects going on. I have only been focusing on the products that are included on my projects, thus, ignoring my other makeup items. I see this Project Pan Roulette as an opportunity to use my other products, while I have things that I need to use up. I would like to give my products some attentions, even if I'm focusing on certain things. I decided to give this project a try; I made up my mind to switch products every month. :) Anyways, I did the rolled paper thing to pick my 10  products, and I would like to give a shout out to Megan for the Project Pan Roulette Category Ideas. The following are the categories I got to pick for the month of April:

A product you regret buying:


          Monomola Wow Long Lasting Lip Color (Cherry Red). I regret buying this because I don't like that this like an actual tattoo. I have to wait 10 minutes for to peel off the product on my lips. The color swatch on pictures is actually misleading; the online seller posted pictures with vivid swatches. The seller didn't tell me right away that I need to peel off this thing on my lips. This a Korean product and the box that it came with did't had any English words. The product itself isn't long lasting at all. I have eaten once and the stain had visible marks of fading. I have ignored this product ever since, but I need to use this again so I won't waste the money I paid for this. 

Your most recent purchase:


          Quick FX CC Cream. I bought this last March 29, together with a BB Cream and a blush/bronzer duo. I chose this one because I'm currently using this as my base for my face. I'm still forming my thoughts about this. Anyways, I'll just keep using this product so I could give you my opinion about it towards the end of the month.

Your oldest blush:

          REVLON A Floral Affair Collection Blush (Pinking of You). I have this blush for 6 years! Can you imagine that?! I bought this on November 2009 and this is the first blush on my collection. This product contain 3 shades of pink, but if you mix the 3 together, you'l get a barbie pink shade. This has a matte finish, which I really appreciate now. I just don't why I didn't even hit pan on this. Haha! The smell stayed the same over the years. Yay! I know I'll get use a lot of this blush this April. It's perfect for Summer!

A long-time favorite:


          San San Waterproof Mascara (Thick Lash). I have already talked so much about this product already. I have gone through 3 bottles of this mascara already. I kept on coming back for this products because it gives my lashes a nice amount of drama, not the overwhelming, shocking kind of drama. I love this for everyday use because it stays all day long and is definitely waterproof. 

Your favorite body lotion:


          Vaseline Body Lotions. I love the lotions from Vaseline! I have used some of them and I loved all of them. They're formulas are non-greasy, even the thick ones. They don't leave a sticky feeling on my skin which I really love. This brand is my favorite for body lotion. Anyways, I think I'll use up this product in a week, or 2 weeks. I'll see.

A metallic product:


          Essence Crystal Eyeliner (Rosy Rush). This is the closest one I have to a metallic product. I love how the glitters are so fine; they feel like flexes and not chunks of products. This has pink glitters with gold flexes which looks pretty on the eyes. I like using this on top of my eye shadows because it isn't overwhelming. I'll try to incorporate this with the looks I wear from day to day. 

A product in pencil form:


          L.A. COLORS Eyeliner/Eyebrow Pencil (Black). Just an ordinary eyeliner pencil. It's not pigmented, it smears, and doesn't last long on my waterline. I picked this one because I'll try to get a good use out of it so I could prepare this for my Project Pan next year. 

A product a carry on your purse: 


          Maybelline Clear Smooth All In One Shine Free Cake Powder (Nude Beige). I've been using this since last year, but I still can't finish it yet. This product is also included in my Products I Want To Use Up In 2016, which is one of my projects for this year. I think that is product is nice for touch-ups. It's not oil-controlling at all and doesn't lasts all day, as opposed to what it claims. I still like this powder though; it applies smoothly and has SPF 25 (so great for the Summer!)

A product you won't repurchase:


          Careline Oil Control Liquid Make-Up (Oriental). This is the worst makeup product I have tried in my entire life! I have done a First Impressions Review for this product; and I still have the same impression for the last 2 months. It doesn't absorb oil at all and feels really sticky on my skin. I think even people with dry and normal skin wouldn't like the feel of this on the skin. This sucks!

A cruelty free product:

          Human Nature Purifying Face Scrub. I'm sorry if I don't have a picture of this product. I forgot to bring it while I was shooting. Haha! I've talked about this product on my March 2016 Favorites, read the post so would know what this product is all about. :)

          Those are the products I picked up for this month's Project Pan Roulette. I'll give an update towards the end of the month. I will also do a roulette again for May and so on. Are you doing this project too? Let me know your experiences and thoughts regarding this project by leaving a comment. I love talking to my readers and visitors. I will talk to you tomorrow. Thank you so much for reading. Have a nice day. Stay safe. XOXO
