This year I decided to do a Project Pan. If you don’t know what that is it is when you decide to pan or use up a certain number of beauty products by a certain time. This is the first year I am doing a project pan. I am linking up with Jacks Lorraine.
Who has a Cruelty-Free makeup, beauty, and lifestyle channel on YouTube. She doesn’t know me personally but I am linking up with her 2019 project pan. She is also doing a rolling pan where if one item gets used up then you pick another item in its place. I will link her YouTube video after this post with her project pan 2019 intro.
The first item to be panned in her project is a makeup product that is old or near expiration. I am choosing Nyx Butter Gloss in Éclair. I’ve had this product for a really long time and it is nearing its expiration. Luckily, I’ve used a majority of it so I think panning it this year is doable. I love to use it as a gloss topper over my lipstick or lip liner. Éclair is such a neutral pink color that it looks great over any color.
The third product is a walk the plank product. One that you don’t hate but also don’t love. For me this is the L.A. Girl Glazed lip paint. I love the color which is in the color Bombshell. I really love a vibrant pink lip especially in the summertime. But, sadly I’ve hardly reached for this since I got it. It is not the easiest product to work with. So, I am adding it to my project pan to get more uses out of it this year before it gets decluttered. Maybe I will end up liking this product after all.
The Fourth product is A product that you really enjoy and love using. For me that is the Wet N Wild MegaGlo Highlighting Powder in the color Blossom Glow. I bought this product and a bunch of Wet N’ Wild product due to their cruelty free status. And The fact that they are a drugstore brand that is easy to find. They have now become one of my absolute favorite makeup brands. This Highlighting powder has some major glow to it. I love how it looks on my face as a highlight. For some people it might be a bit strong but I love it. This should be easy for me to pan this year since it is my go to highlighter.
The sixth product is a product that fits the season. For me that is the Wet N Wild Photo Focus Dewy Face Primer. Since my skin tends to get very dry in the winter. Plus, I already have a backup so I am eager to use this up. I love that it has a tint to it.
The seventh product is a forgotten about product. For me that is the Nyx Professional Makeup Hot Singles Eye Shadow in the color Innocent which also falls under a product that is limited edition or no longer available. Sadly, I can no longer find the color innocent so I don’t know if they still make it or not. I love this color as a blending shade and for the crease. It’s been neglected since I started using eyeshadow palettes but I want to go back to using some single shadows in my collection especially this one. I’ve already hit pan on it so I’m hopeful that this year I can use it up even more if not completely.
The 8th product is an easy product. For me that is the OFRA Cosmetics Universal Eyebrow Pencil. I received this in an Ipsy bag awhile ago and never used it. It can be a bit dark and is not really universal. However, I’ve come to really enjoy this product. I would probably not repurchase this product but I do know that I can use it up this year.
The 9th product is a product that is brand you would not repurchase from this is also a product that I believe the color is no longer available. So, it would fit into the No longer in production or limited edition category. That is the Hikari lipstick in Cabernet. On their website it says they are cruelty free but I don’t know much about this brand. I also can not find them on Ulta’s website. I like the color but I just don’t reach for it and could no longer purchase this color since I believe it is no longer available. My goal is to use as much of this as I can and then declutter it if it is not used up by the end of the year. Don’t mind the cat hair in the picture. Life of a cat mom.
So, there you have it. My 10 Rolling project pan items to use up by 2020. I will be updating monthly on my progress so keep a look out for that.
