I did a project pan post back in 2016 (you can view that here) but I totally forgot and just put it aside. Part of me hates the idea of project pan, the idea of using something up, finishing it and being over, but another part is now loving that idea. Actually USING the things I love, finishing them, and repurchasing them if I really did love them, or replacing with something a bit different.
I have been really into watching project pan videos on YouTube the past few weeks, I must admit I have learned quite a lot from watching them, either things I want to do - or things I want to avoid. I aim to use things I love, and to giveaway bits I am not using. I also want to photograph progress to see how quickly I actually using things - I am hoping this gives me a better insight when buying things - well that is the plan anyways!
So here are the bits I want to use more, and use up:
1. MAC Honey Love £16.50
My favourite lipstick. This one won't last long, I really love how it looks with a slightly darker liner, it really is stunning. Have zero issues wearing this daily!
2. Urban Decay Naked Basics £24.00
I use this palette pretty much daily for brows, brow highlight or eyeshadow base. It is a stunning little palette and so perfect for everyday use.
3. Becca Champagne Pop £32.00
My friend Brooklyn has hit pan on this HARD, mine definitely has a dip but I think it would be an achievement to actually hit pan on a highlighter. And I use this one more than any of the others, so why not try to? :)
4. Too Faced Cocoa Contour £32.00
I really love the top two shades here - the light Cocoa and Medium coco are my perfect contouring shades, but the bottom two I never use. My aim is to finish the ones I like and depot the darker to use as an eyeshadow, and get rid of the highlight - because its terrible... harsh yet true!
I LOVE this blush, it is my favourite and most used by far! But I do realise now that I have flattened this once rounded blush - and I would really like to see pan on it!
So there is the bits I want to use up, Fingers crossed I at least hit pan by the end of this year.
Have you ever done a project pan? Have you ever finished something like this? What as it? Let me know in the comments below :)
I've never set out to this but I do find I hit pan on things I love quite quickly and use daily.

Ooh you can see a dent starting to form on Champagne pop x
ReplyDeleteI should really do this. I never really stick to one product and so they never get used up quickly x
ReplyDeleteSuch a good post idea. I actually need to start using my MAC Cosmetics lipsticks more, so many pretty shades I forget about xx
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever hit pan on a blush or highlighter, it would be an achievement!

I need to hit pan more in my personal products! I do often enough in my pro kit as use a lot of the favourites daily! x
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good idea! I need to do this more! X
ReplyDeleteThe idea of hitting pan scares me and I avoid it as much as possible! I want to hoard my lovely makeup forever!

I have been trying to use stuff up before I buy to much more, but its really hard to part with my favorites.

This is a great idea! Hope you get to finish these things up!

I'm terrible at using anything up because there's always something new I want to try!

I hardly ever finish anything because I always have so many shiny new things to try!!
ReplyDeleteI need to do a version of this with lipsticks. My collection is getting out of hand. I just keep buying the shade from different brands!
ReplyDeleteOoooo I love project pans, I've been watching them non stop on Youtube too! You'll finish that lipstick in no time

ReplyDeleteI really need to start something like this - I own far too many products! x

I've never attempted an official product pan project but I love to watch/read about them! Great picks too! I'm currently trying to fibish up one of the bronzers! X
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good idea, it's the first I've heard of it but I love it! I hate being wasteful with products so this should help me stop!!
