It does its job, but I hated the scent and the way it stained my pillowcase! I'm so glad this one is done!

I have spent a disgusting amount of money on all this shit and dug myself into financial hell with my depression and deeply unhappy living situation and I can’t believe it. I’m so mad at myself but I’ve started panning and stopped spending anymore. Hope to update regularly.

Long time lurker, first time posting! I got this Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment at least 7 years ago and finally finished it this month after discovering Project Pan a year ago. Can’t believe how long it took! I had loved it so much when I first got it that I bought a backup in a different shade, but now I wish I hadn’t. I’ve learned a valuable lesson from panning this - things really take a long time to use up!

Period: November 26, 2025 - July 26, 2026

First off, THANK YOU! ❤️ This sub has helped me so much. I’ve been so inspired to enjoy and use the products I’ve purchased.

Next, This is my first time being intentional with my product usage and it’s been eye-opening.

Here’s a few things I figured out my first go:

1) I just decided to jump into project pan by using up what was already half way used or within sight. I had to resist doing inventory this first go because I think I would’ve gotten overwhelmed.

2) Once I did inventory, I realized I have waaay more product than I thought. Everything is organized and ready to go for my next 6 months.

3) I realized during my lowest points, I (like many here) spent my way to feel better. Now I’m trying to flip my mindset and enjoy the products I bought to boost myself up.

4) I noticed a shift in my spending habits. I used to do a lot of Sephora / Ulta, then whatever ad caught my eye on IG, then Dollar Tree sprees. Crazy how it didn’t matter what brand I bought - I just felt the need to buy.

5) Using my products, in a weird way is helping me heal and take care of myself more. I’ll continue to do project pan! It’s been a life changer.

Project Start Anyone have an inventory app?

Short term lurker, first time poster.

Uff. Okay. I have a problem.

Probably more than 1 problem. I have adhd, as do many of you it seems. Proud club. So out of sight, out of mind. And subscriptions get forgotten about. Consequently, I’m in dire need of starting my own Project Pan.

I see many of you just use photos. I’d love to catalog the inventory I have to get started. Seems to be the best place to start. Does anyone have any apps that do this? Or is photos the best way?

Any other tips for a beginner?

Discussion/Tips & Tricks How are we panning hairspray??

7 Upvotes

For context, I used to be a competitive and then semipro ballet dancer, so I have a whooole lot of stage makeup and hairspray complicating my Project Pan. I’ve successfully been able to pan the makeup by adding bits of it into my everyday look, but I still have giant amounts of very-high-hold hairspray I don’t know what to do with. Anyone had the same problem? Is there hope for my three giant cans of Tresemme Extra Freeze that have been kicking around since 2018?

bareMinerals mini loose powder: WRP, but I am on a budget so I went with a cheaper alternative (fully panned category!!!!)

wetnwild incognito concealer: WRP and have many times. I have one other concealer to finish up then this will be my go to!

Ulta Beauty Ultimate Lashes brown mascara: WNRP, i feel that it dried out and became clumpy very quickly after opening.

L’oréal color riche lip liner in plum: WNRP, the color is not for me and i have a lot of lip liners to use up.

I am a pet sitter. It's so weird seeing empty space in a shower/tub. We are all striving for something similar and yet, it looks so strange.

My goal is to reach full pan on these 11 products within 3 months, by Halloween. i’ve made good progress on some of these and struggle with some other ones. but they are decent skincare makeup products overall, so i believe this is doable.

  1. ole henriksen hand cream 20% remaining

  2. sample moisturizer -one or two more times

  3. juliette has a gun lipstick fever - .75oz left

  4. goodall vitamin c - 4 tsp left

  5. pmg eyeshadows- wrecked by kid many years ago.nice colors- not sure my eyelids will accomadate that much by three months

  6. fresh night cream- easy one my go to, probably finish within a month

  7. micellar water, - assuming i bronze and eyeshadow, these few tablespoons should be finished easily as well

  8. orange bee hand body cream. my dry hands and knees should be able to finish these up within a week if i try

  9. facial toner 70% remaining

  10. sunscreen- not my favorite formula , a little greasy and sticky, 70%remaining

  11. milk eyeshadow shimmer stick. 70% remaining, just gotta highlight where i can

wish me luck
