It's the first of June. Summer is almost here and it's already burning up outside, at least where I live. This means end of the month empties. However, to keep the number of end-of-the-month empties along with all the reviews, I do my empties every two weeks. Today I will bring my first Project Pan Roulette to an end.
Every month on the first, I will will randomly draw six (6) items to pan/use during the month. I can provide my huge list of categories to choose from if anyone would like to know. I also use a wheel decider app on my phone called The Decider to draw the categories.
Last month's categories and products (as shown below) were:
- an item with hated packaging: Five-headed Dragon lipstick from Howl Cosmetics
- something you have already hit pan on: Dark Heart Cosmetics bronzer
- body shower product: Caress Adore Forever
- face serum: LaF Skin 7 Solutions Waterbomb Ampoule
- an eyeliner: E.L.F. cream eyeliner in Coffee
- a high-end product: YSL Volume Effect Faux Cils mascara

| Bye Bye May empties |
- Five-headed Dragon: I kept putting this off because it's a sample in a tiny baggie. I knew it was going to be a pain to use. It's a gorgeous dark berry color which pulled more purple on my lips. Completely finished.
- Dark Heart Cosmetics bronzer: I nice warm shade with a tiny bit of shimmer. I only had a bit left, but surprisingly it lasted the entire month. I used it on my crease and as a bronzer, as intended. Completely finished.
- Caress Adore Forever: A small deluxe sample. I don't use heavily perfumed body was too often, but this did have a nice musky scent which I liked. I don't feel like it lasted as long as it claims. Completely finished.
- LaF Skin 7 Solutions Waterbomb Ampoule: A nice light, thin, gel-like consistency which I used mainly during the day. I prefer light moisturizer during the day, with spf of course, because I have very oily skin. I really liked this serum, but have many more to use. Completely finished.
- E.L.F. Coffee cream liner: I really like using gel and cream liners. This one is really easy to use and stays put all day. I tried using this in my brows to use up product faster, but that was short lived since I don't like overly defined brows. I also discovered that I don't like how a wing looks on my eye shape, despite how fun it is. I just do a tiny baby flick. Did not use up nor did I hit pan. I was disappointed, but this one was a fail. Will continue to use.
- YSL Volume Effect Faux Cils mascara: I would consider my current HG. I love how this formula defines and volumizes my lashes. I use this nearly everyday and still did not finish. Will continue to use for this month, but will trash after June.

| No pan :'( |
So now, the products for this month.
- Highlighter: (my favorite cosmetic to use) Kiss My Sass Summer Glow highlighter. Beautiful golden sheen with a pink/purple flash. Sample, plan to use up.
- One eyeshadow in a palette: Cool, neutral brown shade in Profusion Twinkle Twinkle palette. I plan to multi-use this shade and hopefully hit pan.
- Face serum (again): InstaNatural Hyaluronic Acid Serum. Still has about a third left. Plan to finish.
- Liquid eyeliner (uh oh!): Chella Indigo eyeliner pen and Elizabeth Mott You're So Fine eyeliner in Glitterati. Two because they're both old-ish and need to go asap. I plan to use up or at least as much as possible so I can declutter.
- Asian product: Skinfood Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore Toner & Pore Emulsion. I have a ton of samples. Plan to use up.
- Compare two, purge one: Wet n Wild Bebot Love and L.A. Colors Mauve Glaze. Both are good MLBB's on me, but since I'm downsizing, one must go. I plan to use Mauve Glaze for two weeks, then Bebot Love. At the end of the month I will declutter one.
