7. Plum
8. Pink
9. Brown Black
10. Bronze
11. Gold
12. Purple
13. Random
14. Random
15. Random
But cant decide what ones to chose, i have managled to shorten the entire mac eyeshadow collection down to these options:
1. Vanilla/Shroom/Crystal Avalanche/Brule/Electra
2. Wedge/Woodwinked/Cork
3. Espresso/Mulch/Handwritten
4. Carbon
5. Knight Divine/Print
6. Electric Eel

Orly Nail Polish
I have just purchased 5 new Orly shades from head2toebeauty, the shade I got are:
Rockin Rockette – A sparkly deep red brown, from their new ‘Tis the season collection.
Halleys Comet – A momchrome sparkly turquoise blue, from their Cosmic FX collection
Out Of This World – A purple black with lots of purple monochrome sparkle, from the Cosmic FX collection.
One Night Stand – An orange based red, from the Divorcee Collection
Happily Ever After – A deep purple plum, from the Once Upon A Time Collection
I also already own:
Get a Grip – A pink purple almost metallic
Velvet Rope – Dark purple with silver sparkle
The quality of Orly polishes are amazing!! They go on so smooth and even and don’t streak or go gloopy. I don’t have a very steady hand and I love these polishes they make it a lot easier to get you nail polish looking neat.
For me some colours take 2-3 coats as I have quite prominent white tips, but once their on they last really well especially with a top coat if you decide to use one.
I really like Out of this world however I can achieve a similar look using Velvet Rope other a dark base such as a dark purple black, so I am unsure whether to keep this.
Rockin Rockette is a festive shade and if you like a brown shade varnish you will love it, however I’m not to sure.
Halleys Comet is amazing it is smooth and doesn’t contain glitter chunks but the sparkle is great and evenly distributed instead of a glitter which is hard to spread out.
One Night Stand is a nice colour but not quite that phone box red I was hoping for.
Happily Ever After is gorgeous even though I brought this thinking it was a different shade I don’t mind because I love it, it is in the same colour family as Get A Grip but with a very different finish, Happily ever after has a subtle sheen whereas Get A Grip is slightly metallic.
Velvet Rope is great its not to bright not to dark this would be perfect if the glitter was pink or a different shade of purple, but I still love it, I would like to find something right between Velvet Rope and Out Of This World and stick with that, yes I know I am hard to please.
Anyone recommend what Orly colour I try next? x

Project 10 Pan Finale :)
Finally finished project 10 pan and just in time for the Mac Venomous Villains collection
So the Product I have just completed is Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear foundation SPF 20.
It claims to last up to 16 Hours, provide a Flawless coverage and be anti transfer.
This foundation does last longer than most drugstore foundations especially those brands like collection 2000 (no17 etc..) but not 16 hours.
The coverage is good, the foundation is thick and creamy and blends well the coverage isn’t full, id say more medium to full. I prefer to apply this with my ELF Studio Powder brush and always set it with a powder.
As for being transfer resistant, some still comes off on my mobile when I make calls but doesn’t transfer as much as some other foundations.
Overall this foundation is really in between it isn’t bad but it isn’t great and for the price I think it is well worth it (£3.99) I don’t know if I would repurchase simply due to the amount of other foundations I want to try but I would definitely recommend it, especially if £4 if your price rang this is amazing for the price.
As for project 10 pan I don’t think ill be doing it again I felt like I was becoming a bit wasteful with products and was really impatient, instead I’m going to do something like project 2 lip gloss, where I can’t buy a lip gloss till I have used 2 I already have, I will be starting this after my MAC Venomous Villains Haul.
