2022 Project Pan Update #1

So we're back again to update you guys on how my Project Pan's going. If you didn't read my first post, I decided to focus on using up a few products from my collection. After a month, I have to say I did pretty well with some product, and terribly with some others.

Grab a cup of coffee or tea, and let's chat about it!

1. Jeffree Star x Morphe Set & Refresh Mist

This was the first item I knew I wanted to use up, and I finished it! To be honest there wasn't that much product left over, and so it was really easy to use it up. I forgot how much I hated the fragrance, it was just so artificially strong. I didn't really like the idea of putting it on my face, but I finally finished it!

2. Colourpop Supershock Highlighter Wisp

Now this is a product I consistently use, but there's still a little bit of product left along the edges. I'm determined to completely finish it soon though!

3. Benefit Hoola Bronzer

This is a product that I feel like I barely put a dent in it! I used it as a bronzer once or twice, and used it as an eyeshadow a few times. The pan in this is huge, and I feel like it's going to take me all year just to hit pan.

4. Colourpop Precision Brow Pencil

This is one product I didn't expect to finish so quickly, but after making an effort to use it everyday, I finished this product! I won't be repurchasing this product, mainly since the Glossier Brow Flick has been my go-to since trying it out (currently on my second repurchase of this).

5. Mini Milk Makeup Kush Mascara

Since this was a mini, I wasn't really expecting this product to last a long time. Not only was there not a lot of product in here, but it also dried out super quickly!

6. Wet N Wild Cream Bronzer Stick

I thought this product would have been a lot easier to use up, but not really! I have another cream bronzer I like so much more, so I haven't reached for this one much. I'm going to make a greater effort to finish this one up this month.

7. Milk Hydro Grip Primer

This is a product I've used up a few times in the past month, so I'm happy to be using it again. I actually forgot how good this product is on the oiler parts of my face. While I don't use it all over my face anymore, I am enjoying using up this primer again.

8. Victoria’s Secret Shimmer Lotion

I finally finished this one. I hated this product. Not only was it kinda drying (the opposite of what a lotion is supposed to be), but it had micro glitters, which I am also not a fan of. I'm so happy to be done with it now! 100% not repurchasing (it was a gift to be honest)

9. Laniege Water Sleeping Mask [Lavender]

I've used this product a lot more in the past month, but I still have a lot of the jar filled with product. I think I'll finish this product in a month or two though! Just got to keep at it.

10. Dominique Cosmetics Strawberry Lemonade Lipgloss

This is the product I made a lot of progress in. This was the only lip product I used this month (used side by side with a lip liner). I can now see through the tube in multiple places, and the wand isn't picking up as much product. I think I'll be done with it this month.

Bonus Empties:

• Bath & Body Works Into the Night 24 Hour Moisture Ultra Shea Body Cream (5oz) - I actually really enjoy the Ultra Shea line from Bath & Body Works. I have really dry skin, so sometimes I have trouble finding moisturizers that I feel actually hydrate my hands! Especially when they're from brands that put a lot of fragrance/alcohol in their products. I will eventually repurchase a mini like this again!

Replacement Products:

• IT Cosmetics Confidence in an Eye Cream - I really like this product, but I also have another eye cream that was gifted to me that I'm itching to finish!
• The Ordinary. "Buffet" - I got a little crazy with the skincare last year, and so now I have a lot of skincare to try out! This is a great affordable product, but again, I have another serum I want to try out. I'm actually almost done with it, but I have to make sure I focus on using and finishing this one up.

---

Well I got to say, one month in, and I'm doing really good! I knew that the creams and skincare products were going to be easier to finish compared to some of the powder products I have added on the list. I'm still determined to finish these up (or actually just hit pan). Have any of you started a project pan this year? Or maybe you're focusing on using up one product this month?

As always, thank you for reading! Sending you love, strength, and positivity xx
