PROJECT 10 PAN

[katie723]

Have you been buying way too many beauty products lately? Is your vanity overflowing with way too much clutter? If you haven't heard of the Project 10 Pan (which I believe started on Youtube, that's where I heard about it!), let me briefly describe what it is. You select 10 (or however many you'd like) products, whether it's makeup, skincare, hair products or all. You must finish these 10 products in its entirely (or "hit pan", where you have used so much of the product that you see the bottom of the "pan") before you are allowed to buy new makeup products. This really helps with appreciating what you have rather than buying more and more things, leaving older products you have to sit in the dust! *There are also exceptions, for example, if you run out of concealer... you can allow yourself to purchase another concealer even if you haven't completed the Project 10 Pan.

Is anyone else doing a Project 10 Pan?! I definitely needed to control myself after IMATS LA and tons of Sephora gift cards for my birthday and the recent UD sale! So, I started up my Project 10 Pan again two weeks ago! I'm determined not to be good and stick with it!

Here are my items that I've chosen for my Project 10 Pan:

1. Sephora Mineral Foundation Powder in Medium 25 - I've had this since March and I'm barely half way!! I use this daily.

2. Sephora Lip Gloss in Pink Ballerina - about half way through.

3. Clinique Lip Gloss in Bamboo Pink - about half way through.

4. NYX Lip Gloss in Beige - still have more than 3/4 of the product left!

5. Stila Liquid Eye Liner in Black - I'll finish this in about a month or so.

6. BADgal Lash - I have about half a month left til I need to throw it out.

7. L'oreal Voluminous Mascara - still have about 2 months til I need to throw it out.

8. Maybelline One by One Mascara - will be throwing this out in a couple weeks.

9. UD Primer Potion - I have two small samples, but I really don't know how long they will last!

10. ELF Blush in Tickled Pink - I haven't even hit pan with this!

and any of my UD eye shadows in my Naked palette, which I haven't even hit pan with!

This will definitely take a long time to complete, but I'm okay with that because I really need to save my money and just enjoy what I have! 🙂

Let me know what your list looks like! 🙂

I desperately need this in my life to try to use up some long ignored products and reasses my stash.  Is there a current thread or any interest in reviving P10P on the board?

There are two active threads about this:

HTH!

I think it'd be cool to start one! I feel like my tastes are changing so I want to go through and appreciate what I have before purchasing more. I've been going through the Konmari method and this would help with the discarding process~

 I recently started doing something like this without knowing that it was a "thing"!  I decided to make sure I got though all the sample products I had.  Some I am now using, some got tossed or given away, and I've only got a few left that I haven't used yet.  I've been so proud of myself!  

My next step was to wade through the 'Bag of Lipstick Doom'!  I swatched everything, and found some duplicates, and some that I just didn't like.  Still intimidatingly full, but under control.

Next, I plan on conquering the eyeshadow mountain.  Didn't help that I just bought two new palettes, but maybe I can get rid of colors they dupe.  Wish me luck!

I didn't know that was a thing until I saw a few youtube videos about it 🙂 I think eyeshadows would be the hardest to finish, at lease for me.

Good luck! Show us some pictures of your progress 🙂

I've decided to do my very fist project pan 10 with lip products. This is so far what I'd like to finish up. I'm not truly enjoy these items except "lip lover" by Lancome, but I don't want just to throw them away. All of these lippies just sit there and take space.

My goal is to finish them up by December 1st 🙂

I'm also thinking of doing project pan with my skincare and samples, but let's see how that goes first 🙂

Is anyone doing it at the moment? 

[Biedazzle]

I love this idea! I'm going to attempt to start but we'll see how that goes. There are just so many options! 

[heartsmyface]

Whoa, you guys have amazing willpower!  

I think I can do this but maybe not with my palettes Or blushes. There's no way I wouldn't get bored trying to hit pan with one palette. I think this is a good way though to try to use up all my primers, foundations, concealers and such. I just want variety with My colors. 

-too faced eyeshadow primer- 1/2 finished now

-that gal face primerDONE

-Anastasia brow wiz DONE

- buxom bronzer- full sample sized

- buxom lip gloss - 1/4 left

-sephora waterproof eyeliner- 3/4 full

-ysl babydoll mascara DONE

okay those are the items I'm going to try and use up in the next couple weeks Since most are near empty or deluxe  sample sized anyway.  Fun little project!

Will most definitely be starting this after I get my NAKED 3 palette! I've gotten rid of at least three or four palettes within the past two weeks, so I've cut down quite a bit shadow wise. But I want to start hitting the pan on more. Definitely about to start planning this out! 

[xxAndy813xx]

I've been wanting to start project pan very soon since Christmas is in about a month, I want to use up products I don't really like or go for so that way I have more room in my vanity for the incoming makeup. Hopefully I can get rid of as many products as possible by Christmas! If only I had started earlier!

[JGSFLA]

I want to definelty try to do this! your right is SO EASY to keep buying more and more and ignore the great stuff you already have!

[heartsmyface]

I have a lot of limited edition palettes I don't  really want to hit pan on. I like having the color options. That being said there are a lot if neutral palettes that I wouldn't mind using up.

[hydee77]

I think I'm going to have to do this.  I have so many products that are just sitting around that I never use.  I'll have to work on a list!

[Esdee]

I need to go through my things and put together a list.  Can I count the bottle of face wash that's nearly empty and sitting on my counter to be tossed?  😉

[heartsmyface]

I don't see why not. This is about using what you have before getting more right:)
