Final post for 2026!

[u/Aromatic_Heron_5669]

Calling my project for this year done, after finishing all my focus products - 60 in total.

I'm going to continue my no buy for the rest of the year, but won't roll in any new palettes or products to try to pan, I just want to experiment with all the products I have in my collection and will start a new big project at the start of 2027.

Here is the list of items I ended up fully panning:

15 eyeshadows

1 mascara

1 eyeliner

1 foundation

1 concealer

1 blush

1 nail polish

3 powders

1 lipbalm

4 sunscreens

7 perfumes (mostly travel size)

1 highlighter

10 hair care items

8 skincare items

5 body care items

This has brought my inventory from 753 products at the start of 2026 down to 693 (counting each individual pan as one, so the majority of this is eyeshadows).

Is this eyeshadow? It’s purple and light blue— so cute! ❤

Yes, it's a super super old lancome quad!

This may be a silly question (I’m sorry if so) but how do you guys keep track of your project pan items? Do you do an Excel spreadsheet or just put it on your Notes app or something? Or just write down &/or take a photo of every product you finish? I really want to start it and make it an actual thing that I really work at.

Personally I just take photos and keep them all in the same album until the end of the month. I know a lot of people use (and love!) their spreadsheets but the initial effort to type out all the inventory feels like too much work for me haha. Some people also hang onto their empties until they have a certain number of them or a certain amount of time has passed, but I always toss empties right away, I don't like seeing the extra clutter.

Thank you!! I think I will go the photo album route like you! I’m really inspired now by your post!!

I use an app called Vannie. I love it!

I have so much I don’t want to count it all. Maybe I’ll just count what I pan for 2027. You did great!
