e.l.f

Hi I am just now starting to post on Lemon8. My name is Beth and I am a SAHM! I’ll just get straight to it and say I own way too much makeup and skincare. In this photo caption I finished a cleansing balm that I had for way too long finally. It. Was. So. Satisfying! 🤩 I can now open my back up one and use that to get myself to really enjoy using this brand of cleansing balm. 🩵

I really need to work on using makeup that I’ve accumulated over the past 3-4 years and it’s safe to I’m at a point where everything I have can last me a year. The bane of my existence are eyeshadow palettes and we know that they can take foreverrrr to get through.

I’m not great a making social media posts, I’m sure my editing will get better in the future. 📝

Reasons why I will be participating in Project Pan 2025:

- I impulse spend. 💸 As a SAHM who doesn’t hold down a job (my husband works really hard to provide for us and our kids), it’s easy for me to feel entitled to spend my money on what I want or need. But that has put me in a bind MULTIPLE time where if I had a financial situation come up, I was coming up short! I have been slowly teaching myself to hold onto my money and start working towards saving.

- Overconsumption core. 🗑️ It’s easy to feel influenced when you see your favorite company or influencer post about a product and hype it up. I am dedicated to specific brands so when they release something or have bundle deals I feel obligated to purchase. That is far from the truth! I don’t need to buy something just because it’s new! If what I have is working for me I don’t need more of it. I have no idea how many purses 👜 I’ve gone through in my life just because I was feeling dissatisfied after a few months of using it. I try to have different bags for different occasions but I don’t need a lot either!

- Learning about the products I already have. 🧐 Why did I stop using a specific lipstick? What was it about that skincare product that I stopped that’s taking up space on my counter? Why did I stop using that lotion? It’s the questions I have to ask myself that will help me reason through keeping a product so I can actually finish or just get rid of completely.

I have valid reasons to participate in #projectpan2025, and hopefully my small posts can add to the movement and help me stay accountable with my spending and staying dedicated to what I already have. #elfcosmetics #elfcleansingbalm

As more beauty enthusiasts become aware of the impact of overconsumption in the beauty industry, initiatives like Project Pan have gained traction. Project Pan encourages users to focus on using existing products before purchasing new ones. This movement not only promotes sustainability but also helps consumers develop a better relationship with their products. The e.l.f. Holy Hydration Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm, enriched with hyaluronic acid, stands out as an excellent choice for anyone looking to simplify their skincare routines. Its hydrating formula effectively removes makeup without stripping the skin of moisture, making it ideal for daily use. Moreover, participating in Project Pan allows individuals to evaluate their purchases and prioritize use, leading to a more mindful approach to beauty consumption. This could involve setting goals, tracking product usage, and sharing experiences within communities on platforms like Lemon8, where users can inspire each other and foster a sense of accountability. Ultimately, taking part in Project Pan can lead to significant savings and a streamlined beauty routine, leading to a healthier relationship with makeup and skincare. Embracing this initiative can not only enhance personal product knowledge but also contribute positively to the environment by reducing waste.
