Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

Welcome to the 2021 Pan It Challenge !!

 

 

HUGE round of applause for the 2020 Panners ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ Despite an incredibly hectic year I couldn't be more proud of each and every one of you who spent even a second thinking about your projects.  It was a huge inspiration for me and I'm sure others as well.  Cannot wait to see your new projects and whatever this year has in store for us!

 

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:

 

Spoiler
  • Take photos!!  When you think you arenโ€™t making a dent in anything look back at those photos, Iโ€™m certain youโ€™ll see some changes ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
  • 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 youโ€™re not fond of).
  • Have shadows with a ton of fall out?  Use water
  • Watching the progress of othersโ€™ can be fun but try not compare your progress to theirs.  We all use our makeup differently and have different goals.
  • Donโ€™t restrict yourself to only using the item(s) you are working on.  Itโ€™s more than OK to incorporate other items or take a break!
  • Makeup should be funโ€ฆ.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 donโ€™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:

Spoiler
  • 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.)

Re: Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

Thank you @haleyvvvv! Iโ€™m slowly figuring out ways to work through the shadows in this ND and being able to use other palettes and shadows I have so as to not be bored, but also without having a slew of palettes where only one shadow is used on a few occasions. Letโ€™s see though if I can keep it up. ๐Ÿ˜‚ 

Re: Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

@itsfi  Great job on panning the ND palette!! What are your thoughts on TO hair serum? Iโ€™ve been using it. Not super consistent lately. I donโ€™t know my thoughts still ๐Ÿคช

Re: Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

Thank you @ather! I like the TO hair serum. In the beginning I wasnโ€™t great about being consistent with it and itโ€™s one of those products (like so many) where it helps to be consistent. I use it a minimum of once per week now, probably closer to 2-3 times per week. To me, it does seem to make my hair look a little more full.

 

I want to say it has helped with my scalp being less dry on the right side of my forehead but at the same time, Iโ€™m wondering if that may be a combination of the serum and my not sitting under an HVAC vent all week. I will probably be better able to test that out this winter. 

 

Iโ€™m coming near the end of the bottle and debating whether to repurchase or to try the new SEPHORA COLLECTION Strengthening Hair Serum with Biotin and Phytoprotiens 1.69 oz/ 50 mL

Re: Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

@itsfi  Ooooo I never seen this one before. If you get to it before me Iโ€™m curious to hear your comparison!!! 

I was using TO one every night but lately itโ€™s more like when I remember. I might move the bottle back to my bathroom so I do it with my skincare. I have a few spots I needed to fill in. Hard to say if itโ€™s working. I did notice more baby hair so hard to say. 

Re: Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

Will do @ather. I probably wonโ€™t pick it up until the fall/winter sale. My plan is to see if my hair shows a visible difference when Iโ€™m no longer using TO serum. If it does then I will pick up this SC one and see if that brings back whatever that difference is. 

I agree; it is hard to say. I donโ€™t think I see a noticeable change in the overall structure of my hair, but when I just concentrate its usage on certain parts, I feel like I see more fullness there. 

Re: Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

@itsfi  I think I agree. Not 100% sold. 

Re: Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

Yay! good job on the eye cream and new pan!!

Re: Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

Thank you @BluePaisley. Finishing the eye cream spurred me to reach for and finish up a couple of sample jars of eye cream that have been partially used and have a handful of uses before being finished. Putting an eye cream on my project pan really made clear that of all the skincare products I have, itโ€™s the one that I consistently seem to have the most difficult time finishing. ๐Ÿ˜‚ 

Re: Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

@itsfi Wooo yes!!! Bye bye eye cream!!!! I love seeing your Biba progress!

Re: Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

Thank you @Samtian๐Ÿ˜€ Hitting pan on the rustic shadow was the boost I needed to stay motivated with ND Biba.

Re: Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

@itsfi Wow, you're going gonzo on the Biba! Kudos on the eye cream, too. You are knocking this challenge down!

Re: Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

Thank you @heavyhedon๐Ÿ˜€ July was a good month for my panning projects.

Re: Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

You never fail to impress me with the Biba palette @itsfi ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Yoo-hoo ๐Ÿ‘

Re: Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

Thank you @blackkitty2014! ๐Ÿ˜˜ Part of the motivation to pan another shadow in this palette is so I can feel better about opening and using some other palettes I may have already picked up. ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜‚ 

Re: Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

@itsfi -- I hear you. Did the same last week. ๐Ÿ˜‹

Re: Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

How does that happen @heavyhedon?!! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Re: Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

Belated updates. I was getting a little discouraged posting monthly, so I'm going to do quarterly. Unfortunately with moving I haven't been using as much; and I meant to post at the end of June, but again, a move. Does anyone else feel as if they miss their update they shouldn't use their product until they update-cause that's a thing my brain does.

Today's update

IMG_20210808_202706.jpg

I decluttered the Becca foundatiom, and the other two were too hard to see how much has been used. But I'm getting close on the PTR Tinted sunscreen. 

I finally hit pan on my bronzer! And I think I'm close on the Fenty Blush but there's so many cream blushes! And I've made a good dent on the highlighter! 

A little bit of progress on the eye shades. The mini caviar stick definitely feels doable by the end of the year. 

I feel like I'll also finish the Vasanti and Smashbox products by the end of the year. And maybe the glossy pink Buxom product, but those lip crayons are daunting. I think I'm going to work on them through the year and definitely declutter the red and maybe pink ones. 

Re: Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

@haleyvvvv  Great progress!!

Re: Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

Thank you, @ather!! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Re: Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

@haleyvvvv Whooo I love that progress!! 

Re: Pan It! - 2021 Challenge ๐Ÿ†

Thank you, @Samtian!! ๐Ÿ˜Š
