September Project Pan✨🍋

💛 So I haven’t posted a project pan in a while! I love showcasing what I try to use in a month. It’s so fun that I get to shop my stash. I have been buying makeup again which was not the goal but oh well. It will still get used.

💛 All of my face products will probably get used up this month. I love the Rimmel face powder! I do need it a shade darker as I am a little tanner now. My concealer obviously is the best for me and my tinted foundation, chefs kiss. I finally bought my setting powder again but I really want to try the LA Girl products that just dropped recently.

💛 The eye products are more minimal because I don’t have time for eyeliner so I think I’m going to through my eyeliners again and just get rid of them sadly. I used to love eyeliner. But the essence products have become my ride or die. That brow gel is so nice for me, I like a nice brow these days. But the brow pencil, I loved it as it was cheap and accessible to me but it’s just too much. I want to look for some more micro brow pencil?? Then don’t get me started on my mascara. I love it.

💛 Cheeks are really boring right now. I am still trying to finish the nomad highlighter. I have been using it! But yenno. Then the wet n wild in nudist society is pretty but the color pay off is a little lacking but I love it for my nose blush!

💛 For lips, I’m just trying to use up the lip liner. I love going back and forth with my lip products but liners I know what I like. Yet I need to downsize my lip drawer sadly. I have too much.

... Read moreIf you're considering a project pan challenge like this September update, one way to keep yourself motivated is to set clear goals for each category of makeup you want to focus on. For example, deciding to finish up face powders like Rimmel or trying new setting powders such as those recently released by LA Girl adds excitement and variety to your routine. Many beauty lovers find that decluttering their stash—such as tossing eyeliners that are no longer used—helps simplify their daily application and renews enthusiasm for makeup. Essence products, known for being affordable but high quality, are often praised as reliable staples; their brow gel and mascara can become unsung heroes in minimalist routines. In terms of cheeks, it’s common to seek highlighters and blushes that offer good payoff, especially when using products like Nomad highlighter or Wet n Wild’s Nudist Society. While some shades might seem subtle, using them for specific purposes—like a nose blush—can elevate a natural look. For lips, working through lip liners and paring down the collection can not only help use up what you have but also promote wearing your favorite shades more consistently. Downsizing your lip drawer can encourage creativity with the products that truly suit your style. Remember, project pan is not just about finishing products but enjoying the process of rediscovering items you love and curating a makeup routine that fits your lifestyle. Engage with communities online under hashtags like #projectpanmakeup or #updatedmakeuproutine to share progress, tips, and inspiration. This can turn using up your stash into a fun and supportive experience rather than a chore.
