Hey, guys! How are ya? I've doing great so far, and as always, I'm busy with work and personal things in my life. It's currently Summer here in the Philippines and it's so freeeaaaakkkkiiiiinnn hot. I can't wait for this season to be over because I always feel drained since this season started. You know, if you live near the equator, you always feel like you are being fried in a really big frying pan. Haha! Anyway, for today's post I decided to share the makeup products I have hit pan on since my last post with the same topic. I have already made two posts in the past and if you want to read them, here's 2018 edition and the 2015 edition.
What is hit pan? If this is you first time encountering this, it is basically the silver pan you see at the bottom of a powder product after using it continuously. I have hit pan on a lot powder products in the past, way before I started blogging and during my college days. I remember finishing an entire eyeshadow because I loved the shade so much and I have bought a second one. Oh, those were the good old days! Last year, I have hit pan on 17 eyeshadows because I did the Project Pan Porn (see my updated on my makeup instragram). Most of the products you will see on this post will be the result of my Project Pan 2018. If you are curious and want to see what products I have hit pan, keep on reading. :)

| SACE Lady Twilight Eyeshadow Palette |
The first on my list is this SACE LADY Twilight Eyeshadow Palette and I have hit pan on the shadow Coconut Grove. It's dark black brown shade which I mainly used as an eyebrow powder. I love how pigmented these shadows are, even though the matte shades are really powdery. I have bought this palette on November and I have hit pan on a shadow the month after. Wow! I was shocked my self because I didn't know that I could hit pan on shadow a month after I bought it. This was part of my Project Pan Porn 2018 and I have loved the palette since then.

| I've hit pan on the shade Coconut Grove |
If you have noticed why is this eyeshadow looks so familiar, it's because this a spot-on dupe of the NARS Wanted Eyeshadow Palette. I have discovered that after using this palette for weeks. When I purcahsed this palette, I didn't have the slightest hint since I don't use NARS products and I don't own a single makeup item from them. This an exact duplicate; the packaging, layout, shades are complete dupes, even the shade names. I love the formula on these eyeshadow and hopefully will post a look using this palette.

| The Balm Autobalm California License Palette |
I have hit pan on three products on this The Balm Palette last year. This palette was also on my Project Pan Porn and Project Pan last year and I almost finished the highlighter and the blush. My favorite from this palette is the crease/liner shade as it looks good with the brown eyes. It's like a dark warm brown with gold glitters that makes brown eyes pop. I got a compliment from my mama when I used this shadow all over my lids. I love how I can create look with this palette and how convenient this is when travelling. I plan on finishing all of these powders this year and maybe buy a big The Balm palette on the future.

| I Heart Revolution Salted Caramel Eyeshadow Palette |
One of my biggest success on hitting pan makeup is this Salted Caramel eyeshadow palette from Revolution Beauty. I bought this June last year and I managed to hit pan matte brown shadows and made dents on other shadows. I also love this palette and I can create various looks on this palette; I made a cool toned smokey eyes, warm tone smokey eyes, black smokey eyes, fresh summer eyes and just everyday neutral looks. I have used this so much, I have bought this to my travels, and there was a time that I cannot stop using this. I am amazed with the amount of usage I got for this palette in less than a year since I got this.

| I've hit pan on two shadows! Yay! |
As you can see, this an exact dupe for the Too Faced Semi-Sweet Palette, which I think is an underrated palette from the chocolate bar palettes. I think that this palette has the most practical color scheme because I can create warm looks, cool tone looks or just unusual combinations with this. The only problem that I have with this Revolution Beauty palette is that the shadows doesn't last long on my lower lash line no matter what I do. I tried applying this under an eye base or primer on my lower lash line and still haven't lasted long. Hmmmm. Do you experience the same with this Revolution Beauty formula? I might try the other chocolate bar palettes especially the Mint and Macaroons.

| LOL Cosmetics Bronzing Powder in Brown Sugar |
Speaking of face products, I have three bronzers to show you. Yes, three bronzer, you have read that right. I have been obsessed with powder bronzers since last year and I have accumulated a decent amount since then. The first bronzer I have hit pan on is this LOL Brown Sugar Bronzer. I bought this on April last year and I have hit on the following month. This a finely-milled product that gives a smooth sun-kissed glow which suits my light warm skin. I love how is this buildable and isn't scary use even though it's warm and kinda leans on the orange side. This is one of the products that I recommend from he drugstore because it has a nice quality, one of the bests formula I have came across with, is super affordable, and contains 8 grams.

| Ever Bilena Pro Cheek Set Palette |
The next bronzer that I have hit pan is this cheek palette from Ever Bilena. I have reviewed this palette last year and if you are curious for my thoughts regarding this palette, read here. I have used the contour/bronzer shade a lot since I bought it and of course, I have hit pan. I am not sure which category this specific product because it's cool-toned enough to be a contour shade, but give a bronzed glow if used as a bronzer. As I have said on my review, this reminds me of the Too Face Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer because it is neutral and fits fair-medium skin tones in all undertones. I believe this is a limited-edition and was exclusive to Robinson's Department Store and their online store on Lazada. The only thing I don't like about this cheek set is how shallow the pans are doesn't contain a lot of products. I just wish that they would release an individual bronzer on this shade and would contain like 5 grams of products. Haha!

Those are the products that I have hit pan on for 2018 and the first half of 2019. I have much more products but I don't have them anymore since I already decluttered them. I enjoy this kind of post since it shows that people actually use products from their collection before most of them go bad. What are the products that you have hit pan on? Will you buy them again? Let us know by sharing them on comments section. I hope you have enjoyed my today's post and stay tuned for more. I have tutorials planned and hopefully will be able to post them soon. Thank you so much for stopping by and I will talk to you soon. Have a nice day! XOXO
