Welcome to a new year! First off, I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year’s Eve and is excited for the new year. To start this year off, I am going to attempt my first ever Project Pan. As this will be my first attempt, I have no idea how long I will be going for, but my current plan is to make it a rolling project pan with about four items in the project at any given time. I plan on trying to go for the whole year and doing a check in every other month.
For those who do not know what a project pan is, it is a way to use the makeup in your collection. You can do this one of three ways: one, try to use up a product, two, try to “hit pan” or use a product so much that you are able to see the bottom of the container at some point, or three, set a number goal to use a product that number of times before the next check in.
The first product in the project is the 100% Plant-Derived Hemi-Squalane by the brand The Ordinary (not pictured below). I am currently about halfway through the bottle and I really love this for my super dry skin. I tend to get really flaky skin in and near my eyebrows especially. I would love to use this up as I do have backups of it and I know that skin care can go bad quickly. Also, by putting this in the project, I hope to get in the routine of using my skincare products more regularly.
The next product I am putting in the project is the Urban Decay Primer Potion. This product has been in my collection for a while and I am very close to using it up (which is my goal). I’ll admit that this one (and another product I will talk about later), I added into the project at the beginning as hopefully easy successes. My hope is I will be encouraged to keep going. This is my preferred eye primer and I do have a backup I would like to get to and use.
The other product that I added into this project as an easy success is the single eyeshadow by Wet n Wild in the shade Sugar. I have a noticeable dip in the pan already so that should help! I primarily use this shadow as an inner corner highlight. I have never hit pan on a shadow before (crazy, I know!) and would like to be able to say that I have. I think that I will be able to hit pan on this if I use it consistently by the next update.
Finally, I am going to include the ColourPop Pretty Fresh Hyaluronic Tinted Moisturizer. While this is semi-new to my collection, I really love this foundation (or that’s how I use it). I do have a shade that is slightly off for me and would like to get my right shade, but I also am trying to keep from adding to my collection in this category. So before I can get a shade that I think will work better for me, I want to use up what I have. I also know that I will be able to use this consistently as it plays nicely with my skin.
Are you guys going to do a Project Pan or do you have any products you want to use up in the new year? Leave a comment and good luck on any new endeavors you are embarking on in this new year!
