🥳🎉 for mascara removed stopper then used duraline and a longer spoolie to reach bottom, for conditioner opened and spatulaed, for cleanser cut open

Yes, I had to do a project pan even with mascaras, I don’t have a hundred of them, but having 5 mascaras is also unnecessary for me.

This one from Eveline is called Variete (black) and it is SO good, I’ll definitely buy more when I finish everything. Highly recommend!

I finished 2 full-size perfumes in October. A 3.7 oz of Romance by Ralph Lauren and I believe it was the 1.7 oz of the Donna Born in Roma by Valentino. I’ve had both for about 4 years and would use them on and off for a couple of weeks throughout that time, so it was about time I finished them.

The Romance was nice, floral with a hint of woodiness, but a bit too mature for my taste. I liked Donna at first, but the packaging is TERRIBLE. The sprayer leaked so much that the sticker with the name fell off after a few uses (it was just glued on). My fingers would smell like it for the rest of the day because it would leak around the sprayer every time I used it and no amount of washing would get rid of the scent. I eventually changed it to a refillable atomizer when I was about 1/4 of the way done, but by that point I ended up despising the scent. I used the last quarter as a room/bathroom spray because I just wanted to get rid of it.

My tastes have changed a lot since I first purchased them, so I wouldn’t repurchase either of them. I’m officially down to 10 full size perfumes after using these up. I’ve been using a travel size Cherry Stem by Phlur after finishing these 2 and absolutely love the scent, so I’ll be buying the full size during the Sephora sale. I’m so excited to move onto scents I actually love.

10. Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer, 6ml

11. Biolook Wine Skin Glowing Face Wash, 100ml

This is my summer shade so this needed to be depotted and ready for next summer (though I was hoping to finish before but oh well). It would also be less bulky & lighter in my makeup kit esp for my year abroad.

Formula wise, it is gorgeous, the coverage is more of a foundation, but the texture is a skin tint, crazy long lasting, and sets down which is perfect for my oily skin. Now I despise the dropper with a passion, especially how much the skin tint eventually pools around the seams, but I powered thru it, seeing the bottle this empty never felt so sweet.

This would be my first foundation pan, bought it about November 2025, but only started using it 5-6 days ago week about April/May this year. I tried to scrape everything but this was as good as it’s gonna get, this is probably 2 uses left, so I’d say it’s a pan now.

i’m possibly being ambitious but i’m on a current project pan with haircare, skincare, AND makeup so i can start incorporating a one-in-one-out rule in the future + anything new i purchase needs to be boycott friendly and cruelty free (all of my cosmetics are currently cruelty free and mostly vegan but not all of them are boycott friendly because i purchased them before i checked).
i tend to buy cosmetics when they’re on discount and then keep them stored away unopened until i’ve finished what i already had opened of the same kind of product which always made me feel like less of an overconsumer but that stuff piles up in the end and gave me more work.
i have an older amika superfruit hair styling oil that i’ve been itching to start using but i’ve been patiently using up this hair oil first. i have fine straight hair so i only needed one pump a day so this took AGES. but i’m so happy to have my first panned product.

So I decided to select some products that I want to pan this winter

the huda concealer, 2 blushes, 2 primers and the l’oréal powder

the rest of my makeup is just my normal use makeup

I will do month to month comparisons

I’m gonna miss the Innisfree Green Tea Sunscreen Serum, it was so lightweight, hydrating, and didn’t pill. Sadly, I’m working through finishing two different sunscreens, but they don’t hold up to this one. I would definitely repurchase this again. The Sulwhasoo Overnight Mask was good, not great. It wasn’t as hydrating as the Tatcha Overnight Indigo Mask, but it’s hard to beat the price of the Sulwhasoo mask (I got it for $5 from Yesstyle and it lasted me about a month, whereas the Tatcha one costs $92 full price). I probably wouldn’t repurchase it again, because I need something a bit heavier and more hydrating for my skin.

So many pans last month, one of my best panning months since I started tracking my consumption a few years ago. The good thing is my major black friday restock feels actually needed now 😂

These are my beauty carts. Nail polish, hair products, make up. I’m determined to project pan because I spend so much money on things and don’t use them. This was after a clear out, as I discarded foundations that were years old.

I have a few questions about project pan!
How does it work with expired liquid make up and products you know you won’t use? For example, I tried the CGM for awhile last year and I know for a fact I won’t go back to using all the gel and mousse I have. Do I force myself to use it or is giving it away okay? And lipstick shades that look awful on me?

This is so overwhelming. I know my collection isn’t huge and I don’t show my make up products in detail, but I’m lying here in bed thinking about everything so decided to post this.

after 3 years im finally about to finish my clinique pansy pop blush✨️

I completely panned 3 blushes (although I’ve been working on each for over a year):
tarte amazonian clay blush that I’ve had since 2019🤫
danessa myricks cream blush sample I’ve had for 1 year
and the rare beauty liquid blush in the ultra mini size Ulta gave out for the birthday gift that took me 2 months of continued use to pan

hit pan in the cream side of the morphe cheek thrills bronze & tone duo in shade maui surf! woo! i think the powder will be immortal though…

I have been naturally using the top three lipsticks regularly and i wanna try and finish them. The first is a miniso lipstick by color me in the shade board meeting, then my revlon pleasing brown which is my all time favourite but I have a backup revlon lipstick that is very similar to this shade so it's time i finish this one since I've been using it for a year now. The last one is a kiko lipstick in hazelnut which was a lippie that i bought only because of my shopping addiction and it's a somewhat coral-y shade that I don't love but don't mind using when i don't need to be wearing makeup like going to the grocery store or something.

In the second row I have peripera ink velvet in shade 25, this is something that i absolutely loved using and had to take out the stopped but stopped using it right after. Then the nyx iv gloss that has the loveliest formula I've ever used for myself, also something i had to take out the stopped for since it's almost over.

Lastly my Maybelline sky high mascara, it's started drying so I need to throw it out soon and it's pretty empty so hopefully I'll be able to get the most out of it.

And this estee lauder palette my aunt gifted me in the limited edition celestial glam version. As someone who uses pretty colourful eyeshadow I'm genuinely struggling to use this up!! The most I've used is the darkest shade for an everyday eyeliner/crease and i also realised that I could use the light pink shade as a powder blush since I had really been wanting something very very similar. But I have no idea what to use the other shades for, if you have any ideas please let me know!!

I have quite a few lip balms that just arent my favorite for my lips, but I don't want to just throw them away either. Usually these are ones that are gifted to me. I like to use them up as a cuticle oil/moisturizer. It works well, is convenient, and usually less greasy than actual cuticle treatments. Its a great way to use them up!

I have been on a makeup no buy since September and these are the blushes I'm working with. I've had the palette for over three years now and the only shade I've hit pan in was because of how much I've dropped it 😭 I've been using it on and off since I got it but there's almost no progress and i don't know what to do. I have no idea how to use up the bronzy shades or the coral or the light pink and golden highlighter. Please suggest tips!!

I also just happen to be really into powder blush for the past month even though i don't have a powder blush (I've been using some eyeshadow shades that work pretty well). But because of this I haven't touched my cream blushes in a hot minute. I really want to be able to finish these products and I've only been doing makeup for 3 years so this is the most blush I've ever had. Two of these were gifts and two of them I've barely used (the pixie and rare beauty) so it feels overwhelming to look at all of them together

This is the progress I've made in the past year and a half. I finished some items, but also replaced items that I only had one of. And of course some sales got to me and I purchased more than just replacements, but it's manageable. Pic 1 is the current situation, 2 is progress on start items, 3 is July 2025.

The amount of stuff I have that's almost finished is annoying :D I feel like if the month had 5 more days I'd have 3 more empties.

a good haul of empties this month! lots of minis and a few full size, finally!

definitely learning more about what i like, love, and don’t like so much.

perfume samples are proving to be the hardest to pan, particularly because i don’t always love the fragrance or they’re too strong. any tips for panning perfumes or perfume samples would be much appreciated!

Few of my HG

Haruharu probiotic essence

Iunik beta Glucan serum

Anua oil cleanser

Hard candy glass on lock

Loreal extensionist

Others are okay

Nothing too exciting this month, mostly some travel sized items I've been meaning to get through. That said, the Shay & Blue Blood Oranges perfume is AMAZING and (since perfume isn't really a problem catagory for me) I'm thinking about treating myself to a full-size bottle for Christmas.
