*12/15/19 - The 2020 thread is now live: Pan It! - 2020 Challenge!
๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ 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)

Tips and Tricks to Panning/Getting Some Use Out of Your Stash:
Ideas to Help You Pan Those Items:
Past Panning Challenges:
May pan be ever in your favor!
Once the pink Is gone I would toss it. No sense in making yourself miserable fighting with patchy eyeshadow and especially if theyโre not colors youโd normally wear. Youโve done a great job! I envy peopleโs dedication to panning for months on end @missjeanie
It's been a bit of an eye opening experience for sure trying to use these things up month after month @heartsmyface . This is the first real panning challenge I've done. I can use the light purple, and I do have a dent in it that you can't really see, so I might try to finish that one up. I keep reminding myself that I have a full year to do it. I don't need to finish everything right away... but man... I'm so tempted to just ditch it lol ! I can't imagine some of the full size palettes people are working on!
@missjeanie If youโve given yourself a year to use it up perhaps take a month off to use something else and come back to it so it wonโt feel as if youโve been stuck on the same thing forever:). I couldnโt even get through a duo without taking breaks, so I am astonished by the larger palettes. I donโt really pack shadows on my lids though. I like washes of color most days which doesnโt help with the panning life.
@heartsmyface I actually ended up taking most of the month of March off from this one! I just had to... could't keep doing it over and over again... I figured for a first go at a panning project a year was good. If I get everything done in some way shape or form I'll be super happy! Maybe I can do a patchy halloween eye look that'll use up the rest of the other shades lol!
@missjeanie if youโre not loving the other shades in the palette, rotate it out or declutter!! My big hurdle for this challenge has been trying to push myself to use things that I donโt enjoy, and I dont think thatโs the purpose! Iโm much happier rotating in things that I used to love, forgotten items that get shoved back in the drawer, or just things Iโve held onto for *almost* too long. Thereโs no shame in the declutter game if youโve used up what you enjoyed (like the pink and light purple)! Makeup shouldnโt be like forcing yourself to each a vegetable you donโt like just for the sake of getting through it ๐๐
Thatโs what Iโve been doing as well. Iโm using this challenge to make room both by panning and by decluttering unloved items. If Iโve be finding something taxing to use for more than a couple weeks then itโs been getting ousted.
๐ i like your vegetable analogy. Ha, as long as you take a few bites just to know for sure you donโt like it and wonโt develop a taste for it, then itโs okay to leave it. @cianni
@heartsmyface itโs actually helped with my buying decisions lately too, because now I know realistically what I use and how long it takes to use something up!
Youre so right @cianni ! The truth is I have a lot of eyeshadows that I really love. I've grown over the last 5-10 years to find that I don't get sucked in by hype on shadow palettes anymore and am able to find that I have a few colour schemes that I use regularly and there's just no point in buying shades I won't wear. I have enough shadow that I love to last me a lifetime. I shouldn't be forcing myself to use stuff I don't like. I'll use up the pale pink for sure, and I'll keep at the pale purple for a bit, but this might end up getting the boot before the year is out.
Oh my gosh, youโre way ahead of me but Iโd like to get there where I donโt want to try every darn palette that comes out. I donโt think itโs a good idea for me to put palettes in this challenge as I have to use a different one each day to make sure theyโre all getting love. Lol, and itโs always a pink or nude eye lately or very soft and diffused looks with the high pigment palettes๐คฆโโ๏ธ Yep. Rational me does not need more. Iโm trying. @missjeanie
haha @heartsmyface your eyeshadows are my lipsticks/stains. I just keep trying more and more, even though they're all the same ish colours lately!
@missjeanie life is too short for makeup you donโt love!! Thatโs so nice that youโve been able to figure out what you like and what works for you. Iโm still kinda in that process, and this challenge is certainly helping me at least try a bunch of things so I can better learn what I love and what I donโt โบ๏ธ Iโm hoping at the ene of the year Iโll be able to kinda summarize my thoughts in paragraph or two and thatโll help guide my low or no buys going forward
It took quite a few years and poor shadow choices to finally find what I love. I'll always enjoy my mac shadows, but MUFE makes some amazing mattes that have been my jam now for a few years. Viseart is also a top contender. I tend to use mostly mattes and just add in some satins/shimmers on the lid from time to time. You'll get there girl, just take your time and you'll find what's best for you! @cianni
This month I think I did pretty well! I made it through 4 skincare/fragrance items this month, and made a pretty good dent in some makeup products.
In March, I focused on the Bite crayon in glacรฉ, the too faced milk chocolate bronzer, Tarte blush in paaarty, Becca hydra-mist setting powder, benefit porefessional primer, ABH dipbrow And Laura Mercier caviar stick in amethyst.
For April, Iโm going to finish the bite crayon because Iโm so close, and rotate in the buxom lip polish in rose julep and the maybelline lipstick in rosy glow. Iโm going to switch out the Tarte blush for the bentint liquid blush and rotate in the milk highlighter, which was untouched in March haha. Iโm going to rotate out the Laura Mercier because Iโm tired of it for now, and focus on the buxom gold eyeliner to mix up my eye looks. If I finish the Becca powder Iโll be focusing on my cover fx mattifying setting powder. Iโll keep using the benefit primer and too faced milk chocolate bronzer.
An unrelated challenge to myself is to use my morphe 35F fall into frost palette, which I think I used for a week after I bought it and itโs been sitting in my drawer in its box ever since.
Amazing progress @cianni ! And that palette looks to have a lot of great colours in it that you'll get so much use out of!
@missjeanie I feel a little silly reaching for this in the spring and summer when it so clearly is a fall palette, but the golds and bronzes are stunning, so Iโm sure ill be able to go for those often!
I see some purples and mauves that will be great in this transition time of year as well @cianni ! And a bronze eye during the summer is always a go to look!
@cianni I agree that palette is beautiful! I am sure it'll be fun getting through that ๐
Best,
Rebecca
How long did it take you to hit pan on paaarty @cianni? I'm curious because part of me would like to hit pan but part of me thinks I just won't be able to do it.
@ShortErica itโs just the 1.5g birthday gift size, but I would say I used it 4-5 days a week since mid December/ early January. The funny thing is that for a while it was the only blush I owned because I always thought I looked silly with it, but since starting this challenge I realize that I love blush ๐ and now im upset to have hit pan LOL. I picked up an ABH trio though at winners hehe ($16.99 CAD.... how could I resist). So I feel like I wonโt actually finish it this year, because I want to move more into peachy corals for the warmer months.
