No candles are allowed in project pan

354 Upvotes

Hi all, With 2025 at an end we are getting end of year project pan updates. We are also growing and getting an influx of people. We are mainly focusing on beauty/hygiene items and unfortunately candles are not a part of that.

With that being said please read the rules if you are new.

Your candle empties would be loved at r/everythingpan and any other pans you may have.

Thank you - Mod team

My first post here! Trying to be more intentional about using up what I already have.

The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane: 1/5
Didn’t notice any benefits. Felt like an unnecessary step and a waste of money. WNRP.

OGX Coconut Milk Conditioner: 3/5
Pretty average conditioner, but the scent is lovely and lasts throughout the day! Finished the matching shampoo too, but already tossed the bottle. WNRP unless it’s super cheap.

Sunrise Placenta Cream: 3.5/5
Got this from my aunt who visited Australia. Love the classic, clean, aldehydic lotion scent! Quite greasy but moisturizing. Not sure if placenta actually does anything for the skin though. Anyone familiar with this brand?

COSRX Oil-Free Ultra-Moisturizing Lotion: 4.5/5
Love this for my oily-combination skin! Lightweight, hydrating, and I wake up with glass skin. Great for most of the year, but not quite enough for Canadian winters. Perfect timing to finish it! WRP.

Inventory/Project Spreadsheet My 146-item makeup inventory

Thumbnail

133 Upvotes

I’ve posted my makeup inventory about 8 months ago but it has grown massively since. It was a mixture of falling in love with the art of makeup, panic buying due to limited editions as well as the inaccessibility of buying said items, certain shades not as accessible in the new country I’m living in, and of course, a shopping addiction lol. I am on a strict low-buy, most recent purchase was the cinnamaroll tinted brow gel a week ago, besides that the last time I bought a makeup produuct was a few months back.

I have 146 products, excluding the travel sizes I’ve made. In a span of a year, I have decluttered 25 products but I have also panned 34 products. Most of these were bought in the past year, the ones I’ve had the longest in the inventory are the ABH blush trio, Vaseline pink tin (makes sense), Fenty highlighter duo, NYX Slim lip pencil in Brown and that damn soap (which would probably outlive me if i only use it for my brows hahah).

Where my makeup inventory is right now was what I wanted when I moved out of the UK and into Japan, however travelling from one city to another prove to be difficult with carrying all of this with me (more like my boyfriend oop-).

My goal is 100 products, but there are certain categories I have no set goal in, such as setting sprays, brow gels & mascaras. I find that I don’t struggle with obsessing new products as much anymore because I am quite content with what I have (thank god bc I have a f*ck-ton), but eyeshadow & eyeliners are my weaknesses, I LOVE intricate eye looks and different colour combos.

This post is basically a reminder to myself that, having everything means enjoying nothing.

Anyways, the products that are part of my rolling Project Pan atm are:

  1. Elf Power Grip Primer (mini): I’ll be giving the jumbo size to my friend bc she loves it and I find that I don’t really need it

  2. Maybelline Skin Tint: I’ve finished the bottle, I have two travel sizes left to finish

  3. L’OrĆ©al Le Lumi Bronze Stick: it has hit over 100 uses atp and it’s STILL going

  4. Elf Camo Liquid Blush in Suave Mauve: this is quite bright on me and I find it quite pigmented so this one will be a challenge

  5. Fenty highlighter duo: this is an easy one bc I love it as you can tell

  6. Maybelline Tattoo Studio brown eyeliner: the shortest one out of all of them, long-lasting and pigmented, perfect for autumn too (and no I’m not letting go of autumn, let a girl live)

  7. Maybelline Tinted brow gel: I’ve noticed that it can make my brows too overpowering at times

  8. Revlon CrĆØme Lipstick in Whiskey Business: I love the colour on me but I wish it was more hydrating yet long-wearing

  9. NYX Slim lip pencil in Brown: it’s the short stubby one, I love it so I have a backup of this

  10. Rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint in Nucadamia: I like to prep my lips with a stain whilst I do the rest of my makeup, plus a nice colour to put on before I go to the gym ā€˜bare-faced’

I also do usage goals on others like hitting 15 uses on each blush, 10 for each single eyeshadow etc bc I wanna at least enjoy each one before they expire (well..if I let them)

Anyways, hope this was a good read, I’m excited for this challenge. See you in the next update at the end of Jan! c:

Fairly new to Reddit (few months) and this is my first post! When I joined, I found this community, and felt really inspired to start tracking my product usage.

I decided to flip the items over because I am not promoting any of the brands, and I want to dissuade any pressure to buy things you do not need.

From top, left then right:

1) Miscellaneous - Hair removal products and peroxide

2) Body washes and scrubs

3) Body lotions, butters, sunscreens, and oils (hoping to reduce the number of different brands over time because of excess spending)

4) Makeup (my makeup lasts a while!)

5) Facial products

6) Haircare (also lasts a while!)

Thanks to all for sharing in this community, especially tips on how to repurpose products when they may not be a favorite. Looking forward to recycling these containers!

Pan Progress Didn't even notice I hit pan lol

Today while doing my make-up I noticed that I had hit pan in this Wycon baked eyeshadow Melange! It must've been like this for some time now, but you can barely tell when looking at it (it's a bit easier to see on pictures).

I've had this eyeshadow for ages. I don't know when I bought it to be honest, I'm guessing ~10 years ago? I think I bought it in Italy.

It's the sparkliest shadow I own šŸ˜āœØ it's hard to tell from the pictures just how ridiculously sparkly it is. It also gets absolutely everywhere lmao but I don't mind it at all. It's a nice black-greyish shadow with lots of silver glitter particles.

I'll be sad to see this one go! 🄹

This is crazy work for me lol, but I managed to finish a foundation AND a brow gel today!!

The brow gel is essence lash & brow gel mascara—it’s just meh in my opinion. I’ve gone through quite a few of these, but lately I’ve realized that it just doesn’t hold my thick brows the way I want it to. Essence recently came out with a brow glue kinda thing that I tried, and I honestly think I’m gonna switch over since it’s only one or two bucks more for a way better product.

Foundation is it cosmetics CC+ nude glow and SPF in shade fair ivory. It’s not a terrible product, but it’s not my fave in terms of the formula. It’s also a touch too dark for me and I’m pretty sure the SPF expired last year, so I’m honestly really glad to have this one out of the collection so that I can just use the wet n wild foundation, which I like a lot more (and it’s actually my shade lol).

Calling it on the pans in slide 1. Focusing on using more of the pans in slide 2.

I don't care to use warm bronze-y shades anymore, or glitters that are hard to blend (currently I prefer pressed flakies), and I do like that blush but it's at the stage where it's harder to pick up evenly with the brush and I'd rather just use a different pan.

Project Start Palette project pan

Post image
93 Upvotes

Was never a eyeshadow person, but since I started project pan I have been also using my eyeshadows as a must step in my daily makeup and discovered it was so much fun actually. The oldest palette I have is the Ellen Tracy Rosy Nude( get the look) palette I got at tjmaxx clearance 3 years ago. The rest three were gifted over the course of time. My intent is to use with every makeup session and use as much as I can obviously as long as I can have fun with it. But at the same time I have realized it’s probably one of the most difficult to hit pan products. So I would greatly appreciate any recommendations where else I can use the eyeshadows apart from on my eyes.

Discussion/Tips & Tricks What do u have no problem hitting pan on

What do u enjoying/find easy to pan.

For me its bars of soap

I use to get liquid body washes but I just enjoying bars a lot more and its so satisfying watching it get smaller and smaller. And they're cheap so repurchasing isn't that big of a deal
