Project 10 Pan

Everyone seems to be doing Project 10 Pan or some kind of variation of it. While we wouldn't consider us the owners of too much decorative cosmetics, nail polishes excluded, we thought getting rid of 10 items we like, but don't LOVE sounds like a great way to start into the new year.

Now for everyone interested in Project 10 Pan you will be able to find lots of posts around the internet. The main point of it is to use up ten products before you're allowed to buy anything new. We might cave in and at least take a look at new limited editions of drugstore make up brands, but we think that's okay. Next to that though there won't be any more shopping before we both use up the 10 items we picked out. In this post we just compiled our items, but in our video you can tell apart who owns what and since we live together we share a lot of our make up anyways. So lets get started.

So here are the first items of our pile. From left to right we have a Catrice eye brow pencil Maren bought because she forgot her eyeshadow she normally uses for her eyebrows, it works nice, but she prefers powder over pens, this might be the hardest object to use up.

Next are two of the Etude Color My Brow eyebrow mascaras. Both are well used and are just looking to be completed before being replaced by the same product most likely.

Then we have the Cover & Hiding Stick Concealer by Holika Holika which is a dream, when not combined with BB Cream or foundation. It's more or less a wear on it's own item and just needs to be finished up on those days where you don't need anything, but concealer. Probably won't be repurchased though.

The La Roche Posay Eyeshadow is great for highlighting, but has been eating dust since we bought a highlighter eyeshadow palette. Same goes for the Chanel eyeshadows which are pretty, but have been long forgotten due to us buying both the Naked 2 and 3.

The Maybelline Pure Powder hasn't seen the light of the day since we bought the Peripera Powder right next to it. Now we thought it would be nice to finish it off before never looking back again. We have a refill for the Peripera powder we're just looking forward to break in.

The Catrice blush has been bought last year and has been well loved by Lyza who just wants to finish that one to replace it with a new one.

Now we come down to the stuff we liked and replaced before they were finished up. First off we see the Holika Holika jewel liner which we love, actually already have a back up off, but ever since we invested in a brown version of this, that one has become our favourite.

We didn't even remember owning this Loreal eyeliner and we hope to forget about it again as soon as possible, as good as it is we don't remember buying it and we have enough other options to choose from so this will be fun to play with and feel accomplishing to use up, but then it's goodbye for good.

The nude P2 eyeliner and the white Maybelline eyeliner have both been replaced by a nude, glittery version of the Holika Holika jewel liner. Now if we talk eyeliner this might be one of the items we have way too many from. They are just so cheap and easy to forget that every once in a while you buy or have to buy a new one, use it once or twice till you're reunited with something better. Both of those products are great, but the nude Holika Holika one is just better.

Next up is the Skinny Microcara in brown and not waterproof. It's already in it's last breaths so we thought we finish that one off before it dries out and replace it soonish. The Holika Holika mascaras have been open for quite some time and it would just be nice to use up the rest of life in them before parting ways for good.

And here is the last batch. The only sample size we included is this cute bottle of Tony Moly's tint which Maren liked so much she bought the full size and then kind of forgot using up the sample size. finishing this up shouldn't take too long.

Neither of us have ever finished up a lipstick before or any other kind of lip product so we both chose as still pretty full one to see if we could. You're looking at one from Labello and one from Balea. Let's see who of us succseeds first. The The Face Shop Liptintstick might make the race though as he's super short already and just waits to be repurchased again because it's one of our favourites from 2014.

And last, but not least we have to confess we might have a small problem with handcream and thus decided it would be nice to finish at least one off this year. The Bioderma Atoderm Mains is currently sitting next to the bed so it should finish sooner or later and maybe we'll even make it two empty handproducts this year. There is this Tony Moly handcream we're looking at which has been with us just slightly too long.

Last, but not least if you want to hear even more about all of these products please check out our video and we'll hopefully see you again next time.

Gyeongpo Beach 경포해변 and how to get there

Going to the beach in Korea is an exciting thing and one of the points on our list we definetly wanted to cross off before going back home this summer. While we originally planned to spend a weekend in Busan we found ourselves unable to do so in the end.

With all our hopes crushed we knew we needed to make up, especially since Maren and Greta REALLY wanted to go to the beach. We searched the internet until we stumbled over a certain Blog Post you can find HERE.

We are so glad this person sat down to write this detailed about all of the beaches South Korea has to offer and in the end we thought the beach in Gangneung sounded like the best option to us. All of the information she gives you on how to get there were still up to date and we can only agree with her. So we took the bus from the Dong Seoul Bus Termina and it took about 3-4 hours for us to arrive at the Gangneung Bus Terminal. Afterwards we took a taxi to Gyeongpo Beach.

Let us tell you the view we had after we left the taxi, right in front of the beach was something we didn't expect. It was even more perfect than we hoped it would be. Though be warned! Instead of the normal sand most beaches we know have, at least the ones in Europe, the Gyeongpo Beach has something that resembles super small rocks? Not really, but the sand isn't as fine there. Just so you aren't as confused as we were.

Next up we got some bigger shirts to wear on top of our swimsuits, which we initially intented to strip out of once we hit the waves but seeing as everyone else, especially girls, rather went into the sea with a shirt/pants combo we just left our shirts on. So make sure you bring at least another shirt with you to change into on your way back.

Also make sure to use enough sunscreen. Something we thought we did, but we all ended up getting toasted. But really this is the number one rule for any beach visit, isn't it? In case you were wondering there are also two convenience stores close by so you can just buy food there, make sure though to take your trash with you and throw it away properly and don't leave anything at the beach! Though this is another rule for every beach you visit.

The last thing we want to talk about is that you aren't allowed to swim at Gyeongpo Beach. This might sound strange and it definetly was to us, but once you go into the water, you can go in till it reaches your chest, I would say, you can feel how strong the current is so we think it's for the safety of everyone that you're not allowed to swim.

What you're allowed to do though is to sit down and let the waves crash over you. It's super fun, but be sure you'll have some red marks all over your body from the stone/sand.

Once again we can only say how much fun this whole trip was and that we definetly want to go again one day. Enjoy the video we filmed for you and lets just all hope summer will come soon enough and we can go and look for nice beaches here in Germany to relive this wonderful memory.
