Project 10 Pan - September

My last project 10 pan update was only in July but since then I've done quite well in using up some make up products including these:


2x foundations
2x primers
1x lipsticks
1x eye primer
3x mascaras

I'm going to keep going with this challenge but my make up is slowly reducing in size!

The month that was.....September

September has been a relatively quite month. I think the most exciting thing that has happened is that I've been given a permanent contact at work before even finishing my 3 month trial period! I must be doing a good job and obviously haven't done anything drastically wrong!

I also booked a holiday for March next year. This will be my first holiday in about 4 years so I'm really looking forward to it.

Also whilst in Marks and Spencer's yesterday I came across these little beauties! I have a feeling they won't last very long!

Revlon Quick Dry Base and Top Coat


I have to admit I rarely use base and top coat but that was until I used green nail polish and it dyed my nails, they looked like they'd gone mouldy!

As I love Revlon nail polished I thought that I'd try the base and top coat as they were also on offer at buy one get on half price - even better!

The base coat gave a nice coating on my nail and my coloured polish applied smoothly over the top. On the rare occasions where I did use a top coat I was always very careful to make sure my polish has fully dried before applying it to avoid any smudging. This didn't happen with the Revlon top coat. I applied quite a thin layer and it did dry very quickly.

My polish lasted a very long time. Normally my nails last a couple of days but with this top and base coat they lasted all week with no chips at all! Very impressive!

These ar both £6.49 each and available from Boots and Superdrug.
