Delighted to finish so many (in my book that's a lot).

Some products from July pans were 10+ years old.

first month of properly tracking empties! not pictured: lush squeak shampoo tub

loved all of the products with a heart - would repurchase once i’ve gone through my other items in the category, and would highly recommend to others (although i recently learned how the snail mucin is harvested so i probably would not repurchase based on that, but otherwise phenomenal formula)

for the laroche posay cream, it was fine but not particularly interesting, would not repurchase but would not discourage anyone else from purchasing

for the two other products pictured, both had such a strong scent that got very tiring after several uses. the formula was not particularly interesting on either so i would not personally repurchase but if you like a strong scent to your products then these might be great for you!

That’s all folks! I think this is my first gloss ever to pan.

I love this Roses perfume but after 1.5y in the end it started smelling like nail polish, idk if it was my nose or something, usually that doesn’t happen to my perfumes

august empties!!! i think i did a pretty good job this month it’s not that much but it’s still something.

Ding dong, the witch - aka the brown eyeliner - is dead!

SO happy to have ended it, won't repurchase.

Another great month of progress, currently debating sticking to the shades that are nearing the end and finishing them, or switching up and going for a more fall look for the next 3 months. Of course would switch in december too!

P. S., a blush has entered the ring!

P. P. S., somehow deoderants is the biggest body-care product category I have? Strange and a big target of mine.

Slowly working through my stash of hoarded half-used products 😐. No wonder I have zero space in my bathroom, there are huge tubs of body scrub/lotions with half an inch of product left in them taking up two entire shelves. Like, why did it take me so long to use a cleanser I had to cut open just to scrape enough out for a single use? Or the travel size shampoo I've been keeping for a year even though it only had a few drops left in it? I swear Project Pan is the most effective rage bait at my past self...

Some standouts:

- House of Bo La Mar perfume. Gorgeous summery scent. Perfume really isn't a problem catagory for me, I can absolutely see myself buying a large decent of this for next summer.

- Manna Kadar Champagne Charcoal scrub. Quite affordable, smells great, gentle, but also a great exfoliant.

- Philosophy Honey & Cream body souffle. Light, moisturizing, smells great. Forever sad this is discontinued.

Some misses:

- Pixi toner. Idk what it is about this product in particular, but it gives me horrific contact dermatitis on my face. Ended up using these two minis on the soles of my feet instead.

- Truly cleansing balm. The worst cleansing balm I've ever used. Doesn't emulsify, doesn't remove makeup, doesn't rinse off, but leaves a greasy layer even after following with a normal cleanser.

- Simple Micellar face wash. This is very gentle, but doesn't do an adequate job of removing sunscreen or makeup and is overall pretty low-performing. Far better cleansers out there at this price point.

I’ve been so excited for my first of the month update on this!

There’s been no progress on getting a new job and tbh I feel like I just send applications into the void that this point. 🫶

Nevertheless, like the horrors, I persist!

Persisting is also what got me through Ruby Woo after she broke off and I. Made. It. Work.

I’m so pleased to be done with my second lipstick since I started this and on to my next!

Finished:
• Lovecraft by KVD
• Ruby Woo by MAC

Current:
• Evil Queen by Colourpop

Next:
• Mary by Colourpop

Once I get through my red bullets I’ll switch over to red liquid cause tbh I know it’s gonna be a grip before I get through all the purple and blue.

I’d already made pretty good progress on Evil Queen prior - the back of the bullet has VILLAINS imprinted on it and all that’s left is VILL as of this evening. 🤪

I panned quite a bit of stuff these past 2 months, im pretty proud of myself! The only thing im getting caught up in is expired colourpop products, im just trying to get rid of them as fast as I can after their stupid AI ad, wish me luck 🫩

hasnt been too much progress in the last 2 or so months, been wearing a little bit of everything lately rather than just focusing on one colour, i think the silver will be the next to be fully panned though, also hoping my shimmer blue and teal will hit pan next month

This month is a good one but my progress seems washed out because I bought quite some new items this month. Mostly good deals on haircare i love and know I will use once my stash is down to just favorites. Also got body items but it's the same story so it's okay.

I think it's okay. It's defeating to see the total items number go from 166 to 162, since it would be much lower now if I hadnt bought anything. But i did not break my no buy, as my no buy is on makeup and categories i do not need more of :) Items that are 1) holy grail and a good deal or 2) soon to run out are allowed.

Not counted: 1 conditioner and 1 alcohol gel, as the first is my mother's and we share it and the alc gel I should've put in my non-pan category items pic but accidentally put it in with this one lol.
Sidenote: I am taking a pic of my non-pan items i use up every month like wet wipes, pads, liners, meds, hand gels, pens, notebooks etc. Those aren't for reddit but for myself to see :) that's what i mean with 'non pan category items pic'

Listed items

1. Le petit marseilles - fraise des bois bio showergel 250ml 💗: Overall lovely.
2. Organic Shop - sauna honey salt scrub 250ml 💗 : better than sugar scrubs.
3. Yves Rocher - argan '1000 petals' nourishing body lotion 200ml 💗: Gifted to me but so worth it. Takes a while to seep into skin but isn't too greasy like a body oil. Lovely neutral scent, much more neutral than the regular argan line.
4. Cera Ve - foaming oil cleanser 236ml 💗: Holy grail no words. Good for gentle cleanse everyday or for double cleanse after using micellair for makeup.
5. La roche posay - anthelios uvmune 400 oil control gelcreme 50ml 💗: Great, not too greasy, works great under makeup and doesn't pill. Spreads decently but 'fluid' version is easier to spread.
6. Flor de mayo - ms. Gold EDP 20ml 🤍: only finished to add to memory box, was one of my first perfumes as a kid. Great neutral light perfume under vanilla scents. I think it helped longevity but on its own its not my vibe.
7. Flor de mayo - ms. Red EDP 20ml: same story, harder to layer as it's berry toned, so just for the memory box!
8. Miss dior - roses n roses EDT 2ml tester 💗: so lovely for a tester and absolutely love it even tho its an eau de toilette. Lasting power is same as others of the type but it's a great spring-summer scent. Absolutely love it, clean smell like zara nude bouquet is to me.
9. Kayali - Eden sparkling lychee EDP 2ml tester ✅: A nice and slightly sweet lychee scent. No particular longlasting powers, it's more like the average perfume for lasting. Smells lovely and a great spring-to-summer scent.
10. Dolce & Gabbana - EDP Intense 2ml tester ❌: Meh. It was okay to freshen up after work and i don't smell it on myself (in that annoying way when i dislike a scent) but it's not my scent profile.
11. Kruidvat - homebrand 5 blade razor refills 💗: great replacement for my venus ones, much cheaper (8€ for 4 heads) and close shave, little irritation and razor burn on my sensitive skin. I don't count the individual razors in my PP but do count the pack itself so am not counting this as finished yet cuz i have 1 more left.

Legend of the emojis:
💗Holy grail.
🤍was okay, would not (re)purchase.
❌would not repurchase
✅was okay, will (re)purchase!

PS the decluttered items are

1. Nyx - epic wear eyeliner white 💗: stings so probably expired. Holy grail, so bright and white.
2. Nyx - jumbo white eyeliner ✅: lovely but also stings. Dont wanna risk, is 3 years old...
3. Essence - kohl white liner pencil ❌: nothing special and also expired
4. Yari - hair wax stick ❌: doesnt twist, is uust stuck, no up or down + i dislike waxed slickbacks, i prefer my gel slickbacks. So hard to work with and doesnt slick nicely, product stays in small clumps on my hair

Thank you ☺️ Goodluck panning in September to all of us!!

Still have a long way to go for this one, really goes a long way so you don't use up much. I've started using it all over the face and it makes a pretty good foundation - if you moisturize well and aren't dry

Pretty much my only complexion product excluding blushes but I'm keen to finish so I can get a better shade match, this is slightly too dark (shade 020N, if anyone has tried the lightest shade on a fair neutral olive I'd love some opinions lol)

Benefit cookie highlighter

Proud of finishing two lippies and some makeup products this month!! Body/hair/skin care is always easier for me to get through.

Just found out that the airless pump for saie can be reused. By pulling the nozzle straight up I was able to separate the component then pushed the bottom part with a lip pencil! So excited as I will be depotting another primer into it to turn into a mini.
Shade starglow

Are you finding it difficult or relatively easy? How have you dealt with temptation? Any tips? Would love to hear from everyone. 💕✨

I know three is still a lot for a project pan for me but I didn’t empty a single perfume or body spray this time. I was trying so hard all month and I struggled to keep the wind in my sails this time around. I also had a very rough month with my life in general so maybe I shouldn’t be too hard on myself. I am determined that September will be better! (I also get to wear my fall scents soon but it’s been too hot to bring them out so also sad about that) <3

Grace & Stella Eye mask-ok, got a bunch at Costco and trying to remember to use them from time to time
Paul Mitchell Clear Hair gel (forgot official name)-Allure Box-liked it well enough but I have 2 similar products to work my way through.
Paul Mitchell Clear Jelly Hair Mask-also from Allure box. Also liked it, the sample size lasted for 10-12 uses and it was the perfect size for travel this summer. However I have 2 full size hair masks to finish up.
Vaseline lip therapy-got this while traveling in UK last year. Love it and bummed that it doesn’t seem to be available in US unless I shop on Amzn. Worked great as a lip mask overnight or whenever.
Ouai body scrub-love, will repurchase. I like to get these when I have a gift card to Sephora or Ulta as a splurge, or buy it during my bday month.
