Makeup Inventory - Foundation

Up until 2 years back I only had 1 foundation and 1 BB Cream in my stash. Then I went crazy & started stocking up

Wet n Wild Photofocus Foundation in Golden Beige

INR 599 for 30 ml

I like this foundation. It gives medium coverage which can be built up & skin looks nice and matte. The applicator is also decent. I just don't like the overly chemical smell of this foundation. 

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 128 Warm Nude

INR 500 for 30 ml

Love everything about this. If I have to repurchase any 1 foundation this will be it. 

Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation in Pure Beige Medium 2

INR 500 for 30 ml

This is my second bottle which should tell you how much I like it.

Olivia Liquid Foundation in Soft Beige 3

INR 100 for 28 ml

Satin finish foundation which feels super heavy on my oily skin. I bought this when pretty much every youtuber was claiming that it was a full coverage foundation. Bah! It's not all that it's made out to be. 

Olivia Makeup Stick in 08 Egyptian Light

INR 140 for 15 gm

A multi purpose product - can be used as foundation as well as concealer. Again feels heavy on my oily skin & I can only use in winters. 

Olivia Waterproof Pancake in 26 Almond Dust

INR 120 for 25 gm

I went ham & bought everything from Olivia. This gives full coverage & is matte to boot. Like it

Maybelline Clear glow BB Stick in 04 Fawn

INR don't remember for 10 gm

Wrong shade, wrong texture for my skin. It provides next to no coverage & just feels like an extra step with 0 benefits. 

Blue Heaven Signature Foundation in Natural

INR 25 for
Light weight & gives sheer coverage. I don't know what more you can expect at 25 bucks

Spinz BB Cream

INR 52 for 15 gm

When I first saw the texture I had a mini heart attack. It reminded me of the God-awful Fair & Lovely BB Cream. This one's way better though. Blends well & gives sheer coverage. Will be repurchasing eventually.

Number of products - 9

Number of products I would like to own - 2

Project Pan Update


I had originally planned this post about 2 months back so I could update after 3 months. Anyhow, posting now. It's been 5 months since I started my Project Pan in January this year. And in all this time I've actually managed to finish quite a bit. Let's start with the wins

Ponds BB Cream- An old favorite. I've been using it for nearly a decade & it's still the best BB Cream in the market for my skin type. The smell though is a different matter. I positively HATE the signature smell of the White Beauty range. Finally managed to finish this up.

Eyetex Dazzler Foundation- Somehow managed to finish this by using while practising different looks. Definitely don't recommend. Life's too short to use shitty foundation.

Cameleon Mascara- Done, done n done! How proud am I!

Streetwear compact- This was missing when I started my project. Finally found it at the bottom of an unused bag- shattered, mirror cracked & even the compact unhinged! Into the bin.

Now for the list of products I will be using for the next 3 months. Some are carryovers from last time. Seriously how much product is there in these things!

Nivea After Shave Lotion- I only used this as a primer in Jan when it was relatively cold. In the summer months,  not only does this not function well as a primer I literally want to claw it off my face. Quite by accident I discovered that it works pretty well as a makeup remover & I've been using it like that. Only a quarter of the bottle's left. Soon

VOV Loose Powder- Again I've very little left & this is all I'm using these days as it's too hot for the foundation.

Now for the things I will be adding to my Project Pan for the next 3 months

Spinz BB Cream- This looks & even smells vaguely like the Fair n Lovely BB  cream but thankfully blends way better. It even dries to a matte finish so I don't even have to set with powder. This one's pretty much full, let's see if I can use it up

Blue Heaven Signature Foundation- Way too yellow for my skin tone but I plan to use it while practising looks. If I set it with a pink undertoned powder, it looks pretty decent. I still wouldn't wear it outside home though

Lakme 9 -5 Mascara- Currently using this

Maybelline BB Stick- I've had this since forever. It's a bit darker than my skin & suits my tanned skin in summer. I honestly doubt if I'll ever finish this.

Elle 18 Compact- Been using this these days. Quite like it.

That's it folks. Wish me luck
