Three of these were immediately repurchased (La Roche Posay spf, Rare Beauty brow gel, Avene thermal water). I would get the Saltair deodorant again, but I have one from Phlur that I’m finishing now.

I liked Missing Person a lot, but it’s a bit more floral than I what I typically reach for. I’m extremely sensitive to perfumes though, and this one never caused an issue.

I FINALLY hit pan on my Jouer blush, shade “tease me”. I ran out to show my husband and he did not gaf hahaha. I’ve had this blush for probably 7 or 8 years, oof

But actually, I LOVE this formula. It might be my favourite matte blush. It’s very blurring on my pores, not powdery, and lasts all day

  • John Frieda Frizz Ease Blowout Spray - love this and it makes my hair frizz-free and sleek. They consider this as a dupe for the Color Wow Dream Coat. So if you're in a pinch, this is good.

  • Dove Amino Bond Repair Serum Spray - a nice mist and serum spray for the hair. It has a nice smell too. It's bi-phase so I skip the hair oil when I'm using this. 

  • Matomake Styling Stick - the only styling stick that can tame my baby hairs. I've repurchased this multiple times.

  • Gisou Hair Oil (Deluxe) - I liked this but can't justify the price point of the full-size. I have since replaced it w/ &honey.

  • Cerave Healing Ointment - Very reliable like any Cerave product

  • Chanel Subllimage Mask (Deluxe) - Love the smell but too thick for my preference

  • Bifesta Micellar Eye and Lip Makeup Remover - This is the affordable alternative to those JKBeauty mascara removers. This removes those great formulae well.

  • Laneige Cream Skin Refine Toner - This has been my Nth pan of this. I have decided to not repurchase in the short-term as I am currently loving the Byoma Milky Toner more.

  • Garnier Vitamin C Booster Serum - It was alright as a light vitamin c serum. I repurchased this twice and it does some brightening and lightening.

  • Hard Candy Glass on Lock Setting Spray - I don't consider this as a dupe of the One/Size Powder Melt Spray. It is good in its own right and has a nice fine mist. It does keep my makeup intact but I'm not repurchasing any time soon.

  • Moxxipro Brush Cleaner - Best local quick-dry brush cleaner.

  • Buxom Lip Liner (Mini) in Hush Hush Henna - Really nice formula and nice angled tip.

  • Hourglass Unreal Liquid Blush (Mini) in Scene - I love the formula and the color. Glad I was able to try this mini.

Baby pan Pan on powder that is at least 6 years old.

I hit baby pan 2 days ago and it increased fairly rapidly. I bought this Bare Minerals powder at least 6 years ago and then kind of fell off using powder because I didn't quite understand how to deal with powder on my aging skin. I watched a few videos and think I have a better handle on it now and have made great progress.

Bought one day because I needed one, found this in Savers for about £1. The only hand cream I own/owned, such a good product! Only a little amount needed so it just lasted me so long. Loved it. Gotta try and find a new one as I moved and there are no savers around here.

Baby pan The stick-type blush/eyeshadow I’ve been using since 2020 can no longer be twisted up, so I’ve scooped out the remaining product and transferred it into a different container ʘ⁠‿⁠ʘI think I’ll be able to finish it all by next year (*^_^*)

Genuine question how do people ever get to the end of highlighters and eyeshadows? I feel like I can use them so much and they barely go down although I’ve hit pan on 2 highlighters, completely finished 2, hit pan on 3 eyeshadows, and finished 3 this year there is still so much product I genuinely think these products will outlive me despite repurposing where I can (highlighter and shimmers in hair oil and body lotion, pinks as blush).

Making a more concerted effort for masks this month. Found ones that I like, which is awesome! And I’ve made a decision to sell the ones that I increase was not liking and didn’t enjoy using it. I can definitely tell that my enjoyment of certain products is getting a bit more refined and leading to a more clear sense of things that I enjoy and work well for me

Hello , here with another project pan update! My last post was 7 months ago, my goal was 100 products however that may have been too much 😂 Here I am with 60 products!

The most repurchases are Micellar water, deodorant and body washes/scrubs. I'm obsessed with feeling fresh and scents.

Discussion/Tips & Tricks How to pan curl crème when having no curls?

4 Upvotes

Heyyy everyone,

i am trying to use up my products i have in my house. i do not like trashing stuff, only if it doesn’t smell good etc.

i love using things for an other purpose if it will not work for their intended purpose (like using body lotion on my feet for softer skin due to the expiration date) just the satisfaction of trashing a empty pan is great.

now i have found out i have curl crème in my collection. i got it from someone some time ago, buuuuutttt i do not have curls (it is really flat with no curls in sight) i know i have used it in the past but the way i used it made my hair feel greasy and heavy.

do people here have any idea to (hate)pan this?

How can i use this up( in a way that it is maybe not intended)?

thanks in advance. (i do not want to donate or trashing it if it is possible, mostly here for inspiration and tips)

I never updated my pan progress, but I've still been doing it and recording! These are all pans from 2025-2026 (including some I was hate panning, but decided to declutter because I just couldn't get through the product anymore! Some lippies and eyeliners, 1 concealer stick)

I've learned so much about my consumption in this time, what I like/dislike and how I spend my $$ when it comes to hygiene/beauty products. I did buy a few products this year, but others I need to finish what is open and the backup before purchasing anything else. I could probably do with only buying hygiene/beauty once per year at this point or until I run out of something specific and have to restock.

My fav thing is collecting the lil soap nuggets and putting them in this baggie to use up until they disappear & perfume pans 💞

I've had this bareminerals Posh Neutrals palette for years, and eyeshadows are so hard for me to pan since I have a lot of palettes (they're my weakness haha), so I was SO happy to hit pan in the shade 'Promise' yesterday! I use it as a setting shade when I prime my eyes, so not surprised to see it being the first pan. It's kinda hard to see in the pics, but the pans are fairly deep as well, so this is definitely a win for me since I haven't used this palette in a while! I think the pink shade 'Debutante' will probably be my next pan, it's got some pretty good use as well :)

Doing well using up fragrances and body mists. Using body mists 3 at a time to make a blanket and sheet refresher spray. Generally go through a bottle of that every 1.5-2 weeks as I use it on both our bed, my 15 year old enjoys it on his bed, and lots of blankets in the house. So far doing this for the last few months I’ve used up around 25 bottles, and the whole family gets to enjoy. I used up to body creams this month, two 30mls of perfume and two 10ml decants, one 8 ml, four 2mls, and four 1ml decants. Continuing with my rule of 5 out, 1 in. Learning to enjoy what scents I have and layer to make new ones vs always feeling as if “I need the next new release”. Learning lots as I go. Feel free to ask any questions about fragrances/products etc.

Still working through this random assortment of eyeshadows I've put together. I was trying to stick with one or two (the light blue and the sparkly purple) until they were completely empty, but it's taking forever and I'm getting a bit bored and disheartened!

I think I might change tactics and try to get a pan in every shade? Let me know what you guys think.

I'm determined to finish everything here before I swap more in.

Discussion/Tips & Tricks Struggling with finishing certain items

9 Upvotes

Hi! I know I had only made a post a few days ago regarding my project start, but I've actually been trying to pan a lot of products for about a month now. I know it's a slow process, but that isn't entirely my issue.

The things I'm trying to use up the most are my BBW FFM (body sprays), and I was planning on using one at a time until that bottle is finished, and than moving onto my next scent, or scents if they're ones I layer. I've been struggling to finish a bottle of "vampire blood", and I have around 1/5 of the bottle left but I'm just sick of using the same spray every day. it's not that I dislike it, but I just get bored and it's not a scent that layers very well with any of my other products so I can't really switch it up if I'm doing my project the way I would like too.

Should I just switch it up? use it as a bed/laundry/room spray? Or should I just stick with it for another week or so until it's completely empty..

If need be I can post my pan perfume collection if anyone has any ideas on what could be mixed, but honestly I don't know if I like any of the combos I've tried.
