Before it gets so much later into June I wanted to share my Project Pan Monthly update for May and share the items I’m going to focus on for June. I feel like except for the first week of May I was very consistent with using my items. I had used my items 24/31 days by the end of the month.
In case you didn’t know, this is my Project Pan objective;
Project Pan Monthly
Each month I choose 4 items to use, sharing reviews of those products if they aren’t already on the blog. At the end of the month, I’ll share an update of how well I did and then list the items for the next month. The products are chosen from these categories;
- One Eyeshadow Palette
- One Lip Item (lipstick, lip balm, gloss, etc.)
- One Face Item (foundation, highlighter, blush, bronzer)
- One Random Item (can be another item from the categories above, or be something else like a mascara, liner, skin care, body care, fragrance, etc.)
May Round-Up
I used the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Vol. II Palette so much this month, especially the lighter shades which I wore a lot for work. I even would do one sweep of certain colours for really easy looks. You can see that I used conch and marina the most. It’s a very crumbly shadow formula so that’s why it looks like chunks are missing, but it does go on the eyes smoothly.
I also used the Vintage Cosmetics Illuminating Face Highlighter pretty often. I used it for highlighter and as a blush topper. There is so much of this product but you can start to see a little dip in the pan.
I finished up my Bad gal Bang! Mascara which was pretty easy given that this is a deluxe sample. Still, I’m happy I was able to use it up. I didn’t use the Bobbi Brown lip gloss as much as I wanted to but I did try to use it every day even if I didn’t re-apply it throughout the day. I think I used up about one third of the product inside this little sample so I’m happy with that.
My June Items
This month I’ve chosen;
- One Eyeshadow Palette – NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils & Eye Lingerie (reviewed here)
- One Lip Item – Soap & Glory’s Sexy Mother Pucker Pillow Plump XXL Lip Plumping Gloss
- One Face Item – IBY Beauty Highlight & Contour Palette (reviewed here)
- One Random Item – Victoria’s Secret Noir Love Me Body Mist
Instead of having an eye shadow palette this month, I decided to use some other eye items and do a Face Palette. I also wanted to use up another fragrance this month.
How is your progress been for Project Pan this month? Have you noticed a difference in your products?
Lots of Love,
Dal
I love that IBY palette! I put it in my shop my stash last month and I used it way more than I expected! I’m not a big fan of that tarte palette, the shadows were a little TOO crumbly for my liking. Great progress!!!

I’ve been really loving the IBY Palette too! I’m using it so much because the shades are just great for my skin tone. Glad you like it too

I actually want to start doing something similar, except I don’t know about using the same lipstick every time. I just have soooo much makeup and need to start dwindling down. Plus I wanna start only making purchases twice a month…I really need to cut back, unless its something I need or want to repurchase. Excellent choices!!

You should start one if you want to! I find it helps me use up what I have and rediscover some makeup I haven’t used in my stash.
I put myself on a no buy for the year which is also helping me just use what I have. I think it’s great if you want to reduce your spending to twice a month. This will help you use up what you have! Thanks for reading! Let me know if you start a project pan 🙂

Yeah that was my intention with doing a sort of project pan myself. I’m thinking of starting this coming week and then maybe write about it the beginning of next month. 😊

I love this idea. It sounds like a great way to make sure all the items in your collection get a little love each month, especially if you have a big collection. – funsizefit.com
