Victims: e.l.f.’s Hypershine Gloss (in Flirt!) and e.l.f.’s Luscious Liquid Lipstick (in Cherry Tart.)

e.l.f. Luscious Liquid Lipstick in Cherry Tart, top, and e.l.f. Hypershine Gloss in Flirt!, bottom

Problem? These two bad-boys are done – as in won’t click/twist up anymore to reveal anymore product – but there’s clearly some more uses left inside.

The solution?

Used scissors to pull off, not cut, cap. (Yeah, pliers would've been smarter, but ehhh.)

See?!

Hypershine Flirt! swatch

Hypershine Gloss in Flirt! is a clear gloss, despite the product swatch. It has a fairly thick consistency that goes on super slick and is very moisturizing – the best for its price. Lightly sweet scent & taste, pretty long lasting (as in, *gasp*, almost as long as MAC/Stila.)

Paraffinium Liquidum (Mineral Oil), Polyisobutene, Silica, Fragrance(Aroma), Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Titanium Dioxide(CI 77891), BHT, Iron Oxides (CI 77491 , CI 77492 , CI 77499), Manganese Violet (CI 77742), Mica (CI 77019), Red No.6 Lake (CI 15850), Red No.7 Lake (CI 15850), Red No.28 Lake (CI 45410), Blue No.1 Lake (CI 42090), Yellow No.5 Lake (CI 19140), Yellow No.6 Lake (CI 15985)

Luscious Liquid Lipstick in Cherry Tart is a red-tinted with blue undertones, no shimmer, and medium opacity. Sweet mint taste & flavor. Moisturizing, but not as long-lasting as Hypershine. (Hate the slanted-sponge tip applicator: it’s messy, moves around, and picks up whatever’s on your lips.)

It feels good not to waste :D

This one's really empty!

And this one, too!

So those are two more products I can toss out & add to my list of finished goods. Other finished things from Project 5 Pan are Neutrogena’s Translucent Bar Soap, Yes to Carrots Yes to Tomatoes Facial Lotion, Ole Henriksen’s Vita Plus Day Cream, a hair spray by Avon, body lotion from a no-name brand, and a shimmery white polish by Wet N’ Wild.

(On another note, I went through my stash & purged a few things that didn’t work for me… yay!)
