Pan It! - 2023 Challenge

[ElleElleG]

Hey all you cool cats and kittens, welcome to YEAR 6 of the Pan It Challenge!

**Join us in the 2024 thread available here: Pan It! - 2024 Challenge

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 aren’t making a dent in anything look back at those photos, I’m certain you’ll see some changes 😃 *this is the number one recommendation for everyone, regardless of how long you’ve been panning! Those photos add up and can help you realize progress you might otherwise overlook.
• 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:

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.)

That's exciting!!! @itsfi 

[itsfi]

@lmaster, it is; thank you. 🙂

[Samtian]

Adding in a few things. Got new tape too 🙂 These kinda just sit in the bathroom cupboard forgotten. The left is Saie Glowy Super Gel Lightweight Dewy Multipurpose Illuminator Starglow , Sol de Janeiro Ipanema Sunset Glow Oil (both of those were gratis) and a Pumpkin Juice body oil I got from a Harry Potter subscription box. These will be quarterly joining the others, I don't expect much use but I hope to get some. 

[lmaster]

@Samtian I don't know how often you use body lotions, but I found that adding a pump or two of the Sdj into my body lotions give a pretty shimmer that's not so sparkly 

[Samtian]

@lmaster Ooh that is a good plan! Thank you. Now to just remember it haha.

[Cissy63]

@Samtian  
Oh nice body oils ! 

[Samtian]

@Cissy63 Thank you!

[itsfi]

Oooh, new washi tape, and more products for your project pan, @Samtian? Cool! You picked some great products; these are some where a little goes a long way, so it'll take time to work through them, but I know you'll do it! It'll be fun to watch the progress you make.

[Samtian]

@itsfi Thank you! I want all the tape now! Here's a screenshot of the tape I got- though I am regretting getting dark colors.

[itsfi]

I completely understand what you mean about wanting all the washi tape @Samtian. It's a dangerous path to go down. That is a fun set you picked up. Ohhh, is your regret over the darker ones because you can't see marks you make on it? If that's the case, try using wite out or a metallic Sharpie or marker, if you have them.

@itsfi I want you to know...there are worse things I could have been enabled to buy. But I did go out and buy that trio pack today haha.

[itsfi]

Hahahaha @Samtian! 

You will not regret it!

[Samtian]

@itsfi Yes that is the reason...because pens and markers is another dangerous path haha. But I might need to get me one of those silver markers.

[Samtian]

Forgot this guy!

[lmaster]

The packaging!!! @Samtian 

[Samtian]

@lmaster Definitely drew me in haha. 

[Cissy63]

@Samtian  Oh your skin is going to have lots of moisture!

[Samtian]

@Cissy63 It needs it!

[itsfi]

The body milk looks like it's moisturizing @Samtian! 😃

[Samtian]

@itsfi I hope so!
