❄️END OF DECEMBER PROJECT PAN UPDATE❄️

blend bunny cosmetics noctilucent highlighter palette: there’s no progress in these shades. although, i didn’t do many colorful looks in december, so that would make sense. i’m hoping to focus and get more use out of this in january.

nomad cosmetics ghost town palette: no new pans in this one either. although, there’s more pan showing in the shade “dead sheriff.” (photo 5/6 are close-ups.) i use that shade in pretty much every look with this palette and i also sometimes use it to contour. hopefully, i can actually get a pan in a new shade or at least come close to it in january.

colourpop flexitarian highlighter: i’m really proud of this panning progress. i used this in many neutral-leaning looks this month and also wore it to work many times. i really do like this highlighter, this is the second one i purchased. i’m aiming for another 2-3 months of usage out of this product and hopefully by then i will have finished the entire thing.

overall thoughts: i’m really glad that i started this project in december and i want to continue into january. i’m trying to get more use out of what i have and i hope i can continue this into the new year.

... Read moreAs we wrap up 2024, many beauty enthusiasts are reflecting on their Project Pan experiences and setting new goals for the coming year. For those unfamiliar, Project Pan is a challenge that encourages individuals to use up their makeup products rather than continuously purchasing new ones. This approach promotes sustainability and helps declutter beauty collections while rediscovering favorite items. In December, several popular products like the Blend Bunny Noctilucent Highlighter Palette and ColourPop's Flexitarian Highlighter were highlighted by many creators, showcasing a variety of uses and creative looks. The makeup community often shares updates on social platforms, offering support and tips to one another. In 2025, trend predictions suggest a continued interest in minimalist beauty, where users focus on leveraging their existing products creatively rather than accumulating more. This sustainable approach to makeup not only fosters creativity but also enhances appreciation for the products we already own. Engaging with hashtags like #ProjectPan2025 can help find inspiration and community support throughout this journey. Additionally, for those looking to optimize their makeup routine, considering multi-functional products can be a great way to maximize use and minimize waste. Whether it’s using highlighters for eyes, cheeks, or even as lip toppers, the possibilities are endless. As we step into January, remember that every small step in reducing makeup waste counts. Happy panning!
