Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

*12/15/19 - The 2020 thread is now live: Pan It! - 2020 Challenge!

👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾 Hi All!

Can y'all believe 2019 is literally knocking on the door?? Given its proximity it's high time we get the 2019 Panning Challenge Rolling.

The "Rules"

To accommodate a variety of interests, you all are encouraged to pick items to pan that are most suitable to your collections. For some, this might mean focusing on a particular type of product (like lipstick) and for others this may include a larger variety spanning your entire makeup or skincare routine.

Getting Started (please share the following)

Which item(s) you would like to work on
How long you will work on said item
Goal: explore a new item, revisit an old item, decide whether to keep pass or trash, and/or completely finish item, etc.
Starting photo of item

Please Use This Thread To...

share what item(s) you are working on,
provide comparative progress photos of your item(s) monthly (at the beginning of the month when possible),
ask questions,
encourage others,
motivate others with the looks you create with your item(s)

Tips and Tricks to Panning/Getting Some Use Out of Your Stash:

Take photos!! When you think you aren’t making a dent in anything look back at those photos, I’m certain you’ll see some changes 😃
If you goal is to hit pan or use something up entirely, try concentrating your brush/applicator in the same area each time you use it
Multitask your products: eyeshadows as highlighter, lipstick as blush, eyeshadow as brow powder, etc.
Layer eyeshadow to create different colors (this is especially helpful to get use out of shades you’re not fond of).
Have shadows with a ton of fall out? Use water
Watching the progress of others’ can be fun but try not compare your progress to theirs. We all use our makeup differently and have different goals.
Don’t restrict yourself to only using the item(s) you are working on. It’s more than OK to incorporate other items or take a break!
Makeup should be fun….if you begin to dread doing your makeup because you made a commitment to use a product that you now hate, TOSS IT! Do not force yourself to use up something you don’t like. Move on to something else! (This includes excluding particular shades from your goals if focusing on palettes, etc.)

Ideas to Help You Pan Those Items:

Roll the dice: number your items and use a random number generator to pick what you will use each (day/week/month/etc.)
Layer/Mask: items you are less fond of under things you like
Pan a Look: at the beginning of the week pick a look that you can wear everyday
Recreate: a look worn by a fellow BICer, celebrity, etc.
Spice up an "everyday" look by adding subtle pops of color (in the crease or on the lower lash line, mix lip products to make shades wearable, etc.)

Past Panning Challenges:

May pan be ever in your favor!

Kicking things off with a request....Help me decide what to select for my year long project.

I've narrowed it down to these three palettes from oldest to newest additions in my collection

Lorac Mega Pro 3

ABH Master Palette by Mario

ABH Modern Renaissance

Of the three I gravitate towards the Lorac the least; many of the lighter shimmers look the same on the lid and there are quite a few shades I will likely never reach for. The Master Palette ranks as one of my all time favorite. Part of me wants to hold on to if forever but I also don't want the shadows to go to waste. Modern Renaissance is nice but it's not a "necessary" palette in my collection. When I don't feel like selecting single matte shadows to travel with this is a perfect companion.

I'm addition to the long term project I aim to do another year of one month one palette so I can continue to get use out of other palettes......

Which palette would you recommend I choose and why 🤔🧐

@ElleElleG I had no idea someone could pan so many palettes at once! I say go for the biggie, looks like at least 11 are close to pan so that would be fun to see.

Re: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

fieldsofclover — Fri, 30 Nov 2018 07:47:39 GMT

@ellelleg Keep going on Mario! You were enjoying it at least for a while, it travels well, and it's pretty flexible as far as creating looks.

@ElleElleG The Mario Palette looks beautiful. I had never seen it before.

I think you should continue with that.

RE: Re: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

dennisselisseth — Fri, 30 Nov 2018 15:01:22 GMT

The Mario palette has such beautiful colors. I could see why it’s been your go-to palette.

I’m so excited to join this for 2019! I’m trying a no/low buy for 2019 because I organized my makeup and skincare only to realize that I literally have NO room. Time to start using what I have!

i think my goal will be to finish things completely - mostly skin care, hair care and masks. And I may join in one this one palette one month thing because I went from one MAC quad (I know... that literally was the only eyeshadow I owned till 2017....) to I believe 8-10 full palettes. Not quite enough for one a month but I have a couple of those 35 pan morphe ones so maybe I can revisit those ones in two different months during the year. Ah this is exciting!!

sephoraaddict918 — Fri, 30 Nov 2018 20:30:52 GMT

It's the same for me @cianni! I've been doing enough shopping this year to make Rouge at Sephora AND Diamond at Ulta!! That means I need to enjoy my beauty bounty in 2019.

HelenBT — Fri, 30 Nov 2018 20:36:05 GMT

Wow! @ElleElleG, you've already dented so many shadows in those palettes. I love the ABH Mario palette and wish they would bring it back! I would say aim big and go for the Lorac, it looks like more than half has dented in already 🙂

cianni — Fri, 30 Nov 2018 20:36:26 GMT

Yes @sephoraaddict918 it’s gonna be fun!! I think I’m also gonna have an unofficial challenge to myself to find new ways to use some of my less conventional highlighters 😂

Re: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

sparklekai — Sat, 01 Dec 2018 20:23:58 GMT

i'm going to say lorac 3...if you don't gravitate towards it naturally putting it in a project pay help you use it up. plus you're doing one month one palette so you'll have options!

Re: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

sparklekai — Sat, 01 Dec 2018 20:39:28 GMT

2019 is going to be operation eliminate purple and pink for me! basically if you know me i'm a tad obsessive...so i have a very detailed inventory, including having this colour coded based on when i purchased them. purple items were purchased in 2015 and pink in 2016. my goal is going to be to use up as many of these products in 2019 as possible. i'll post on January 1st (probaby) with where these groups are number wise for the start of this project and which items i'll be starting with first. i know i won't finish everything & some of these are going to be hella hard but we shall see where we end up!

the one thing i'm trying to decide is how to decide what to start with...pick intentionally? randomly?

For me, 2019 will be all about putting a dent in my collection of eye shadow palettes. I am focusing my efforts on 3 palettes: Tartelette, Naked 1, and Chocolate Bar. Starting in January, I will use 1 palette for the month, then rotate to the next one. And I'll do a check in after 6 months (Already marked on my calendar!) for a progress update.

I've attached a current photo of the 3 palettes. Any suggestions on which one I should start with?

Too Faced Chocolate Bar

Urban Decay Naked

Tarte Tartelette

@sephoraaddict918 I say the Chocolate Bar, because I'm allergic to Too Faced shadows so I like to live vicariously through other people 😂🍫

I say go for the Master primarily since you know you like it, and sprinkle in a shade from Lorac once a week to put some dents in it. I’m in the same boat of “but I want it to last forever!/I’m saving it for special occasions!” with certain things and I have to tell myself to enjoy it while it’s good and there will ALWAYS be things I like just as much that I find later (even if I don’t believe myself in the moment). Perhaps Modern Renaissance can be your go-to for the challenges throughout the year and 2020’s focus since its fairly new and you’re just not feeling it currently

2019: a year of hair, lips, and body! Hair: right now I think I have roughly a dozen various shampoos, conditioners, and styling products hanging around. I would like to have them ALL gone by next christmas and only have a) my mainstay shampoo, conditioner and a deep conditioner, and b) only one (max two) Play samples at a time to work on instead of like six or seven. Lips: after various destashes and use-ups throughout 2018 I’ve gone from 30+ to 13 lip products! I’d like to knock out at least six or seven through the year, but I’ll be happy if I finish a full size (working on UD Vice in 1993 right now) and like four deluxe sizes. Body: so many bar soaps in the cupboard that don’t need to be here! Like seriously twelve of them. They will all be GONEEEEE and I promise to keep only one body cream/lotion in stock at a time (I’ve been really good with this so far). 2019 I will also try to get through samples and such in a timely manner, and keep paring down my “necessary” products to what I reach for regularly that works, and is cruelty free. WHEW that was a lot!

Oooh I gotta get in on this. I have a few palettes, blushes, and setting powders I can definitely pan, and I constantly use up mascaras and eyeliners. Might even have a couple lippies I can try to use up... but I have so many that’s really not as realistic haha.

Re: Pan It! - 2019 Challenge!

sephoraaddict918 — Mon, 03 Dec 2018 14:28:07 GMT

I vote for picking randomly @sparklekai!
