About a month ago, I started this project 30-days (
post here). Now it's time for the results!
I realized the pics are taken at different times and it's hard to adjust the lighting and the angle, size LOL......sorry about that!
First we have....
a small but noticeable tip in the Canmake Cream Highlighter. I used it for highlighting the brow bone and nose bridge.
Next we have my everyday powder foundation: Benefit Hello Flawless in Honey. Wow the pan's diameter enlarged XD!
Length of Urban Decay Bourbon eyeliner has gone a bit shorter when compared to the unsharpened/untouched Zero:
Ettusais loose powder. I can't really judge how far this has been consumed within one month...the results aren't significant eh? I applied with a powder puff, maybe that's why? (since a puff takes up less product than a brush through the sift?)
One of my HG blush: Cargo Blu-Ray HD blush/highlighter in pink shimmer (i believe...). Blush surface has been disturbed even more in the middle, in real life a tiny tiny dip is beginning to form...it didn't show up much on pictures though :/ The latter pic is more similar to the original thing in terms of color.
Marc Jacobs EDP:
Crabtree & Evelyn Gardeners Hand cream. Whee it's getting less product inside. I use this only at night before sleep.
Dior Lip Glow Color Reviver balm - completely finished yay! (

Jill Stuart Day Care Essence - a month ago there are about 10 uses left, same as the Dior lip glow I chose these two to include in the project because 1) they're the easiest to finish up; 2) can't wait for them to be gone/binned. XD I have used this Day Care Essence as a primer (with SPF) for about half a year, although not regularly. This should be long gone by 4-5 months of uses.
My thoughts on project 30-days:
It's easy to stick with the same foundation, primer, eyeliner, hand cream, highlighter, perfume; yet it's not the case with blushes, lip products and loose powder. If you have a huge stash, it's even more difficult! I found that I can stick to a blush for at most 3 days (unless you have determination and self-discipline of a saint, haha) but after that my hands tend to *drift* towards the others (oh well but I didn't!). It's freaking hard to stick to the same blush :/ especially when you have too many to choose from XD With lip products it's the same case, it's hard to stick to one item when you don't like it in the first place!
I would continue sticking to the same powder foundation, concealer and hand cream, but that's all LOL.
p.s. I just remembered I forgot to take a pic of the Canmake concealer! The tube itself is opaque so it's hard to judge how much it has in the beginning/after 30 days. I'm going to stick to that concealer until it's completely used up/dried up. I am even thinking of dismantling it like people do to their UDPP, but not sure how to cut through the tube -.-.
On another note, the giveaway winner is.....*throws confetti*
fleur!
Congrats hun! Please email me your info and details within 48 hours :)

NARS Multiples come in a higher price than their powder/cream blush, but you get 14g of product, which is not bad. Yet sometimes quantity doesn't win...
Copacabana is a shimmery "glistening pearl" shade, according to its website and Sephora. This kind of color turned ashy on my NC25 skin. It was difficult to dot and blend on cheekbones, and the sheen it gives to my skin makes me look greasy. That's the last thing I wanted. I imagine this might work best on other skin tones but really I've had enough of it after using it 5 times or so. I just don't find myself reaching for it and that means something.
Swatched:
I tried using it as an eyeshadow base and apply on the lid, which was alright. But do I need another eyeshadow primer? Probably not, as the multiple stick design is rather bulky and difficult to use it on the eyelid. 
Next we have my everyday powder foundation: Benefit Hello Flawless in Honey. Wow the pan's diameter enlarged XD!

- CARGO Blu-Ray High Definition Blush/Highlighter in Pink (HG!)
They're the new glasses I got. These are the first pair of thick-framed glasses I have. And why am I digging it this month? 'Cause November is the season for assignments, revisions and exams! 
There's a little sponge-tip applicator housed in the compact. The eyeshadow carries the signature Burberry imprint. Pale Rose is a pastel pink, but MORE THAN THAT. I can also see a iridescent pink sheen over it. It doesn't look as powdery as it seems (more on that later).
The cardboard packaging has words engraved on it (not printed), and it feels very sturdy. The compact also carries the signature Burberry imprint, which is a very nice touch and feels luxurious too! There's also this velvet black pouch (also with a subtle Burberry imprint on it).
The shadow contains 2.5 g product and is made in Italy.
The word 'Burberry' was also printed on the closing of the compact. It's a magnetic snap-shut compact :)
I swatched it in my inner arm (palest part of my hands, lol). I apologize for the quality of the photos...I can't get the camera to focus on the swatch. 
The sponge-tip applicator is not very helpful but nonetheless workable still. Pigmentation is quite sheer. There's also an iridescent pink sheen over the powdery color actually, yet the finish is matte but not shimmery. If you're looking for pigmentation in this pastel color, this is not for you :) I have yet to try the deeper shades of their eyeshadow collection though, don't know whether the others are more pigmented than this.
