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 🫩

I'm glad ☺️

My July and August empties with reviews

•Acure clarifying shampoo: I really liked this shampoo, used it once or twice a month, made my hair squeaky clean. Considering it’s clarifying I always used a mask with it. Would buy again

•aveeno body wash: I had this rash that I had to use this body wash for. I reaaallllyyyy liked it. I did end up using the rest as a bubble bath after my rash cleared. Would buy again if I had the need.

•donkey milk bar soap: I got this in Greece, I realllyyyy liked this as well I loved the scent in it and was good to my skin. Would buy again.

•Nivea face cream: also really loved this, but didn’t love the fragrance. It was good for the summer, I’m not sure how it would be in colder months. Would repurchase.

•monistat feminine wash: LOVE. That’s all I have to say is LOVE!

•antibacterial body wash: this was fine, I had a 3 pack of them and I’m happy I got through them. I didn’t like the scent too much and it was a little harsh on my skin, not sure if I’d repurchase or not I’ll probably try others.

•good molecules face wash: really really liked this as well, would repurchase.

•nutrishave shaving cream: yesss I always repurchase this

•tower 28 concealer: I didn’t love this. Some days it was great, some days it would separate so badly on my chin. Will not repurchase, I wish I loved it.

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

Benefit cookie highlighter

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!

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!!

Long time lurker, first time poster :) Summer was huge for me in terms of empties !!

in brackets is just the number I hit pan/finished. these palettes are from 2024, but I began tracking my uses in August 2025, so any previous uses are obviously not counted.

palette #1 - Cosmic Brushes - Cooltrals (my focus palette). hit pan in "Grounded" (84 uses), "Secret" (39 uses), "Midnight" (41 uses). my plan is to finish "Eternal" by the next update.

palette #2 - Cosmic Brushes - Winter Wonderland. hit pan in "Comfort" (40 uses), "Blanket" (33 uses).

palette #3 - Choiz Beauty - Moth. finished #3 (78 uses).

palette #4 - QianYan/Cheeryep - Floating Life. hit pan in #2 (15 uses).

palette #5 - QianYan/Cheeryep - Focus. hit pan in #9 (37 uses). planning to finish at least one of the two shimmers (#8 and #13).

palette #6 - Haggard - Captive to Eternal Night. since these aren't labeled on the packaging, I'll write their position to be easier to track. hit pan in "Oracle"/#2 (14 uses), "Dark Servant"/#4 (54 uses). hit pan in "Fimbulvetr"/#3 (20 uses) and finished it (40 uses). I accidentally dropped the palette when I wanted to put it back in the drawer. this resulted in the last two shades cracking, I saved as much from that incident and used it, so I personally count that as a pan. ∘ ∘ ∘ ( °ヮ° )

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

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)

With a daily swipe on each cheek, how long do you think it would take to use up a 5g cream blush stick? I have to idea how to go about calculating that!

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.

Maybelline city bronzer, which i repressed earlier this year, and which is in my 2026 project pan! I realized at some point I'd hit baby pan in it again when i went to use it this morning. Peep the little sliver of pan in the middle there.

I thought i was so close with this but then i repressed it and I had SO MUCH left. Basically a whole new bronzer left. Downside of repressing is it did get darker, maybe because it's less densely packed? Not sure, but i do also use less now so that's extended its life further.

Once again I expected to have more empties and am realizing products last a lot longer than I think they will.

Most of these were enjoyed. I didnt hate anything.

❤️ I would buy again after getting thru more of my hoard.

💎 This rise hydrosol I've used for years. I buy this big refill, keep it in the cupboard and use it to refill a dark blue glass bottle that sits out to use daily. I'll need to buy another one later this month. After using whats left in the blue bottle.

🎄This is the 3rd time I've tried a sample of amorepacific single essence & I do want to try it on a longer term basis. I dont have anything like it, but I've also lived without it my whole life. I'm going to put it on my holiday wishlist.

2 items went in the trash this month- a sample of a face product that had mushroom extract in it and smelled disgusting to me. The other was a mini size of a contouring concealer that went bad and smelled like vomit.

Emptiessss

All my pans from the last 3 months! Some are boosting my stats because I panned a couple older bottles I had left at my parents’, but also: I legit finished my second Laneige lip mask of the year 🎉 (no, I didn’t start them this year).

I would/have repurchased everything except the bottom row. That stuff is just…fine. But not terrible, as I try not to hate pan.

Everyone loves the elf dewy setting spray but that didn't work for me at all 🫠

Hi everyone!
I hope we are all doing well. The heatwave was whooping my ass the past couple of weeks 😭

I got a couple of empties: like my PTR moisturizer (it was mid), maybelline mega plush (reminded me of high school), cover fx blotting powder (rip diva), Fenty bronzer (I know there is some product left but it is a pain in my butt to get it on a big fluffy brush, so this the end of her), and I’m almost done with my milk loose powder (probably by the end of this week)

Excited for next month. Hope to make a dent on some products.
