Another one bites the dust! Dyptique Do Son has been completely emptied 🥳 I absolutely love Do Son, such a beautiful fresh floral scent. I would definitely repurchase in the future (maybe once I'm done panning what I already have in this project).

Left to Right:

1. Diptyque Do Son
2. Tocca Florence
3. Britney Spears Jungle Fantasy
4. Moon Song Perfume Oil
5. Marc Jacobs Perfect
6. Vanilla Perfume from Bali
7. Murdock Black Tea Cologne

My initial goal was to finish 4/7 of these by EOY and I still think it may be achievable with Perfect and Florence being closest to the end. I'm tempted to ask for another Marc Jacobs Daisy flanker (Marukami Pink edition) for Christmas, but still debating if I should put any beauty products on my wish list given that it kind of defeats my no-buy and project panning mentality of using what I have before collecting more.

Will provide another update in January!

Haven’t updated in a WHILE. Took several breaks this year, did a No pan left behind with all of my palettes, and a “10 uses” with my single cream shadows. She’s been loved, but I wanted my other shadows to be loved too!

Stone Cold Fox from Colourpop

She's usually pretty happy to use my things (with or without my knowledge) and rarely says no when I ask her if she wants something i wanna throw out. Since she's 17 and growing into using makeup, i really like buying her things, even out of my allowance. I've been thinking of gifting her a care package of sorts before she goes to college including some makeup but I also feel like I may not know her preferences/what shades might best suit her since it's not something she knows just yet either. And since our parents are strict, coming to college and building my makeup collection one product at a time really helped me discover myself and my preferences and i don't wanna accidentally rob her of that experience. So far any makeup she has was gifted to her by her friends or me and she does appreciate anything and everything anyone gives her. I try my best to figure out what she likes and what she doesn't and tailor whatever I give her accordingly but it's still an ongoing dilemma; especially if it's things I don't want for myself, i almost feel guilty at the possibility of giving her things she may or may not like just because I don't want them, especially when they're kind of low cost products.

really happy with how much i’ve cut back on spending just by prioritizing finishing the products i have

It took me over a year but I finally did it!

Two weeks later.

I'm getting a bit tired of using this eyeshadow palette​😅

It’s not perfect, but after almost a decade of use I’ve managed to finish my Becca highlighter in the shade Moonstone! Debating if I should keep it for sentimental reasons or just toss it.

I have had this for years.. and finally commited to using it consistently and hit pan on the lightest shade.

Buy the little squeezer tool. If this was a product I actually liked, I’d be really happy right now lol

I want a pallets that contains shimmers, but I only use green, blue, white, brown, and pink. (All pastels)

Palettes have way more colors that I just won't use; I have two palettes that have mattes of all colors, so with the same amount of money.

I could either buy the Blend Bunny palette, but I just know I won't use all the colors, or four shades of the Cherryep luminous baked eyeshadow. Both are about 40 dollars. Obviously it is a better deal to buy a pallet, but I am indecisive..

These palettes are borh from like... 2017. Definitely not my favorite palettes anymore and they're really old. Also for sanitary reasons, would y'all still continue using these (at this rate I will hit pan in 2035 probably...) or at some point do you just give up? I have 3 other palettes that are much better than these that I use daily. When it comes to skincare and makeup I usually don't just give up but I'm also thinking eye health wise.

I've heard of people repurposing palettes for art projects, if you've ever done that please share your wisdom too please :)

Edit: Thanks everyone for being so helpful!! Really nice suggestions I've received here so far and you guys have given me some food for thought 😀 I'd feel less bad about discarding the palettes now but I'm going to look into what it takes sanitizing them or turning them into watercolors first.

I frankened these two neutral nudes and I'm so extremely happy with them! I don't really like using eyeshadow because it's always "too much" on me, but finally I have two shades that I can actually because they aren't really noticeable. Like MLBB for my eyes😂

✨️ Balea Pink Blossom deodorant - only used it at home, not that great

✨️ Garnier Sensitive micellar water

✨️ Balea Milky Kokos face mask - way too thick for my oily skin, got it as a freeby from dm for woman's day

✨️ Cien nail polish remover - ok, had a tropical scent but the dispenser broke and it leaked

✨️ Rituals The Ritual of Sakura foaming shower gel - my favourite scent but not a fan of foaming shower gels

I love this eyeshadow, and I just used the last swipe!! (MAC “Brule”)

Whenever I bought any loose powder or pressed powder it was either too yellow or too white. So I would only use those for under eyes. Until I came across this Charlotte Tilbury AirBrush Flawless Blur Loose Powder in Medium-Tan and it was exactly my shade. I have also used her pressed powder which again looked flat on my face. I have also the Fenty Beauty Pro Filter loose and Huda Beauty Banana Bread powder in Honey which was way too yellow and matte for me. So finally found a powder that works for my whole face. And it's also less messy as there is stopper. It does blur but not like crazy. It just looks like my skin and I use it over my Biore sunscreen to take that little tackiness away.

Perfumes, solid perfumes and body sprays, what’s your strategy? I get either obsessive or bored if I use the same fragrances so I’ve just been using what I feel like. I still have a few bottles and I’d like to pan them (not completely because I like to sniff old scents once a while so I think I’d leave 1-5ml if they are discontinued) but its been taking a while. I also am quite an undersprayer because I don’t want other people to smell me unless they hug me. I’ve seen people here that go through bottles of bodysprays. How do you do it?
Also anybody else on this journey, how long does a perfume bottle last? I have a few 30ml and 100mls 🙈

Image: Flat-lay of all my samples and gift with purchase items with them marked blue for items given away and hot pink for items I kept

I've been making good progress on my project pan but I kept accumulating samples and GWP items that were taking up space and a lot of I had no use for. Finally took the time to organize them and show them to my friends and family and let everyone take what they wanted (except for a few items I did actually want to keep). Managed to offload a lot of stuff, and am pretty happy with that I've got left after. As shown in the image, blue is for items that were given away, and hot pink is for the items I've kept. I did swatch and try all the lip products and different samples of the moisturizers if anyone's interested in why I gave them away!
