In this
challenge, I am trying to use up five products by the beginning of Fall
(September 23rd). I first saw this challenge on PrettyPistol86’s
YouTube channel. There is a whole community of YouTubers that do challenges
like these throughout the year to try to finish up products in their makeup
collections. I decided to jump on this challenge because I want to use up
products I have that are not cruelty-free. Since I try so many products to
review, I want to make sure I focus on finishing up some so I don’t have a lot
of extra products lying around. You can read my introduction to this challenge here.
Here’s the
progress I’ve made in the month I’ve been doing this challenge:
1. Philosophy Amazing Grace Firming
Body Emulsion (32 oz.)
I didn’t
make as much progress on this as I thought I would. You can see my starting
line and the progress I’ve made since I introduced this challenge I’ve used up
about a quarter of the product I had left. I thought I would be halfway done
since I’m using it every day, but I don’t think that I will finish this up by
September 23rd. This lotion absorbs into the skin really well, which
is always appreciated so that your clothes don’t stick to your skin. It has a
slight floral scent that is not overbearing. 
2. L’Oreal True Match
Super-Blendable Makeup SPF 17 in N1 Neutral Soft Ivory
I’ve made some
good progress on this foundation but I’m not sure if I can use it up by the 23rd.
I have over 50% of the bottle to go. I will be sad to see this foundation go,
but I have a few other foundations I need to use up too.
3. L’Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black
Mascara
There is
definitely less product on the mascara brush now, so I know I’m getting close
to the end of this product. I’ve had this mascara open for a little bit and would have to throw it out at the end of September anyway so I wanted to use it
up. This is an all around good mascara and it very popular among YouTubers. You
can read my full review of this mascara here.
4. Maybelline Color Tattoo in 135
Hydrangea Hype
*sigh* I
feel like I’m making no progress on this Color Tattoo even though I use it just
about every day. I’m also getting sick if using this. Since it’s purple, I
can’t use a lot of my other eyeshadows and I’m just getting bored with it. I
didn’t think that I would use this up by Fall, but I thought I would have some
noticeable progress. I’ve seen YouTubers doing “finish it up” challenges
(oftentimes called “Project Pans”) where one of their products is a Color
Tattoo—they seem to make good progress, but it’s not happening for me.
5. Clinique Chubby Stick
Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm in 04 Mega Melon
The
Clinique Chubby Sticks are one of my favorite lip products. I’ve made good
progress on using this up—I’m about halfway through as evidenced by the lines
on the product cap. This color doesn’t go the best with the silvery-purple
Color Tattoo so I wish I had thought that out better. It doesn’t look bad, just
not ideal.
This is my
first Project Pan Challenge and I’m definitely learning a lot; like, that I
underestimated the amount of time it takes to use up a product. Oh well…
Are there
any products you are trying to use up? Are you doing or contemplating doing
your own Project Pan Challenge? Let me know!
