A few years ago, I embarked on a no new makeup challenge and since then I’ve largely stuck to using up what I have. To keep things interesting I generally switch my products up by season or whenever I get bored of using a certain product. However, I’ve never tried panning a certain number of products over a year. I love seeing people do yearly project pans and their updates, so I thought I’d give it a go this year!
These are the 20 skincare and makeup projects I’ve chosen to pan this year:
Skincare
- FACE MASKS: Fresh Vitamin Nectar Vibrancy-Boosting Face Mask, Etude House Collagen Mask, Multi Effect Collagen Honey Mask and Sephora Pearl Mask.
- LIP CARE: Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, Burts Bees Honey Lip Balm and Sephora Kiwi Lip Scrub.
- HAND CREAM: Face Shop Mini Pet Fruits in Peach.
- DRY SHAMPOO: Bumble and Bumble Pret-a-Powder.
Makeup
- FOUNDATION: Benefit Cosmetics Hello Happy Soft Blur Foundation.
- CONCEALER: Loreal True Match Concealer.
- BROWS: Benefit Foolproof Brow Powder and Benefit Gimme Brow.
- BLUSH: The Balm Cindy-Lou Manizer.
- HIGHLIGHTER: The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer.
- EYESHADOWS: Colour Pop Truth Super Shock Shadow, Makeup Geek Eyeshadow in Peach Smoothie and Makeup Geek Eyeshadow in Bling.
- LIPPIES: Tarte Amazonian Butter Lipstick in Plummy Rose and Etude House Apricot Stick.
As a stay-at-home mum that rarely gets the opportunity to “go out, out” I’ve put in a few quick wins in there such as my foundation and concealer – 2 items that I will definitely use up this year. That’s why you’ll also see a few more skincare products than other project pans out there. The added bonus though, is that it’ll give me some “me time” and make sure that I give my skin some much needed TLC!
Below is a closer look at how much some of the products have already been used.
Most of these products are well loved. Some like the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask are new and I want to enjoy them while their fresh. Whereas some like the lippies I love but need to use up as they’re getting old.
Eventually I would love to have only 1 or 2 items from each category that I love using on a day to day basis. No more hoarding or collecting! Just a small bag of skincare and makeup products that bring me joy.
Stay tuned for quarterly updates!
