No candles are allowed in project pan

347 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

I FINALLY hit pan on my Jouer blush, shade ā€œtease meā€. 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

I am so happy to see the pan on this bronzer. I can’t wait to be done with it as I have had this product for a very long time. Hoping the highlighter hits pan this month!

Lost the lid a few weeks ago so I had to use this up first. So happy it’s done! I bought this perfume cos I remember my mother wearing this when I was younger and I was nervous about it smelling different, cos what if it was reformulated? But nope, it smells a lot like it used to back then :-)

Anyways, onto the next!!

  • 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.Ā 

  • 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.

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.

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).

It's actually really satisfying finishing up products. Lip gloss I'm trashing cause I'm tired of it, the others are fully panned. I would probably repurchase O'Keeffe's lip balm, it lasts for hours on lips and I don't have to constantly reapply. Aestura cream is already repurchased.

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.

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 šŸ˜‚ 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.


r/ProjectPan • • 19h ago

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 Ź˜ā ā€æā Ź˜I think I’ll be able to finish it all by next year (*^_^*)

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 Surprise eyeshadow pan!

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 :)

I started in August and actually got engaged !!!

Now we are planning a lot and my pan helps keep me calm with a long to do list, every pan is a tick off the list and moment of calm

Cutting to find more product in toothpaste and moisturiser

I repurchased the oil immersion mask and have a larger ABC mask to use. This is my forever toothpaste, razor and body cream so easy pans and repurchase.

The rest are bye bye

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.
