Project Pan

If you've gone anywhere near YouTube then you would have seen a number of videos called 'Project 10 Pan', 'Project 20 Pan', 'Pan that Palette', and 'Pan * by *'.  These are all projects which are designed to help people use up products (predominantly make-up where you can reach the pan, but do also include other products) which they either have had for too long or that they have too much of.  While I won't be following it exactly I will be taking inspiration from it to try and finish off the number of products I have that I no longer want.  I had thought of just throwing them away but that seemed so wasteful to me so I am going to try and use them up in 2016.  If they are not used up by the end of the year then I will feel better about getting rid of them.

So, these are the products that I am trying to pan.
  1. Sephora mid-brown eye shadow (part of the Nude palette)
  2. Sephora dark brown eye shadow (part of the Nude palette)
  3. Sephora brown eye liner shadow (part of the Nude palette)

  5. Maybelline silver eye shadow (part of Almond Truffle palette)

There are 34 items in total, mainly make-up, to get through this year and it does mean that I will probably be using products much more than I would normally, but it will be great to use these up.  If I do manage to use up all the eye shadows before the end of the year then I will also add Sea Shell eye shadow from Natural Collection, a gold from the H&M palette, and the Max Factor's Untamed Green eye shadow that was a gift (pictured above).
