This is great. I am a day early because I already know what mine will be. Costal scents revealed palette which I've had over a year but is very unloved so far.

 
I pick my em michelle phan life palette. Not a huge fan of it, but maybe because I don't use it?

Pretty much everything else is project pan-

-snail cc cream from memebox, mac bb powders, mally eyebrow pencil and shader, givenchy mascara, UD primer in sin, and mac viva glam lipglass.

It's been awhile! I'm terrible at keeping up with challenges. I have really slowed my roll with purchasing and now I just need to keep that momentum going and focus on using things up.

MAC Cremesheen Glass - Deelight

- Almost finished! Another couple of weeks and then I can work on another gloss.

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine - Boy

- Almost finished! I think I only have a couple weeks left on this too. Looking forward to moving on to other lipsticks.

MAC MSFN - Light

- I have a backup to get to, this is almost done. Maybe 3-4 weeks left.

MAC ED Bronzer - Aphrodite's Shell

- Pretty full. I have a backup so I don't want to hoard this. Plus it's my only bronzer. I just keep not using it for whatever reason. I need to get into a routine of applying it.

Hourglass Blush - Mood Exposure

- Pretty full. Trying to eventually use this up because I just bought the palette with a mini of this inside.

MAC Brow Pencil - Lingering

- I have an Anastasia pencil that matches my brow color much better so I just want to use this up.. it's taking forever though.

Last week went well, I used up a lotion, lip stain, and conditioner and I tossed a handful of products that were not working for me or were old and questionable. 

This week I'm focusing on using up some of the foils I have accumulated. I have about a dozen face and hair product foils set aside to use this week. Looking forward to trying out some new products and discover if they work for me.  I'm also adding a sample perfume to use this week and trying out a lippie to decide if I want to keep it or not. The last time I used it (about two months ago) I didn't like the color on me and the formula wasn't to my liking. Of course, I paid a lot of $ for this but if it isn't to my liking, time to let it go. 

 
I've been using the same things everyday but rotating in an eyeshadow palette to add to the UD Naked2. I'm adding in BareMinerals The Star Treatment palette because it has nice metallic colors that can accent the Naked2 look.

I've gotten to the point where I am obsessed with using the same things everyday so that I can finish things up. I hate skipping a day cause it will make me that much farther from hitting pan. Crazy. So adding in an accent color helps me stay on track but have a little variety.

Besides my eyeshadow, EVERYTHING stays the same. I am determined to finish these things by the end of the year! Then I will start the cycle again. I probably have enough products to do full-faces for another 5 years.

I finished up what is crossed out above, however, I forgot to do the foundation challenge! I'll try that next week, I think.

 
Used up eight foils last week, tossed a lippie, and used up a perfume sample, travel size body wash, and lip scrub. 

I have a blush I've been using on and off for a couple of years and it now has a dime size of pan showing. It's not a big container so I think I'll continue to use it until it is gone. I like the color well enough but I don't love it so I won't be re-buying plus I have 5 other blushes. Goals this week are to use up a face mask that is nearly gone and test out a cream shadow I didn't like much the first time I tried it. I'm going to challenge myself to use two foils a week too and see if I can make a dent in my foil sample stash. I need to switch up my palette too, I'm going to pull out my balm jovi for the next couple of weeks. 

 
Hi guys!

I'm still truckin' along with my project pan items daily. This week I am using Pistol from my Naked2 palette (I hardly use this color) with Snakebite and a blending color from Inglot. I'm also trying out the UD Illuminating BB primer under the Supergoop CC cream sample. My daily SPF Devita Solar will run out by the end of the year and I'm looking for something to replace it. Testing out the Supergoop CC cream for that.

Every time I switch out a product I notice that my look is the same. No one besides me (maybe my daughter too because she's my mini-me) notices the difference. And that's why I need to downsize my stash. I had different things for variety but really, I can't even tell the difference.

This week, I'll be focusing on using:

- MAC Paintpot in Painterly

- Too Faced Eye Love palette

- Bare MInerals Around the Clock eyeliner in Midnight

- Pixi tinted balm in Unique Pink

 
Continuing to use my blush that is nearly gone, my thebalm palette, and adding to my daily list a couple of liquid lipsticks that I think combined will make a color I like. Separately, one is too light and the other too dark. 

Used up last week a full size serum so I'm using some of my serum foils right now. I have three deluxe samples in my stash so I don't foresee needing to buy any serum until well into next year. Used up a hand cream (desk at work) but I have three minis and a full size in my stash so lots of options. Also want to remember to use my hair mask, there is just a bit left in the bottom so I think I can use it up this week and get out my one back up. Used up five foils last week :) 

I'm glad I started posting to the Monday club again. It is keeping me mindful of what I have and ultimately helping me reduce my stash a little. Trying and re-trying products is helping me decide which ones need to go and which ones are worth keeping. 

 
This upcomming week I will use: 

- A'Pieu Mascara
- Hope Girl Mascara
- Hope Girl Eyeliner
- NARS duo orgasm/laguna
- Skinfood Buckwheat powder
- Lioele Beyond the solution bb cream
- Hourglass ambient lighting palette
- Nyx hd concealer
- Maybelline color tattoo barely branded
- Too faced shadow insurance
- Wnw megamix bronzer
- Cherimoya lip crayon
- Witch's pouch popo lipstick in orchid plum
- Girlactic gloss in pretty

 
This week I'm swapping in a lip stain sample from thebalm (nearly empty so should finish it up this week or next), and a little five pan eyeshadow palette. The cream shadow I tried out last week worked really well so it's staying in the rotation for another week.

Gave away a lippie that wasn't giving me any joy. Used up the blush I've been working on so I brought out a new Hervana blush, love it. I prefer the not so pigmented blushes, they are forgiving and I like my blush subtle. Also used up a travel size body lotion, sample perfume, hair mask, and four foils. Use it up goals this week are a face mask, sample perfume, two foils, and a mini lippie. 

 
Whoo, I need to join up this week (and every week) because I have some things I really need to get through!

Primer: Napoleon Perdis Autopilot OR L'Oreal Magic Lumi

Foundaion: Korres Quercetin and Oak Liquid Foundation

Concealer: NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer (this is almost gone, I need to get a new one!)

Powder: NARS All Day Luminous Powder Foundation

Bronze: Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil

Highlight: None in particular

Blush: None in particular

Eyes: Too Faced Chocolate Bar OR Indie loose shadows

Mascara: L'Oreal Miss Manga/Armani Eyes To Kill Excess

Trying to use up the Korres foundation, NARS concealer, both primers, the mascaras and the Milk Choco bronzer. Everything else is just rotation so it gets used!

I'm rotating in the Bare Minerals Ready quad The Happy Place. Love the formula but not sure about the colors. The rose gold color makes me look like I have pink eye. I'll test it out this week. Also adding in the Bare Minerals mini lipgloss in Plumtini. I like this a lot and only have a quarter left. Everything else stays the same. Making good progress on using up the daily stuff!
