The plan for 2023 is not so much to focus on panning or finishing products, but rather monitoring my consumption and keeping track of what I bring in and use up. I don't foresee much being decluttered as my stash was seriously pared done last year to be things I actually have interest in reaching for.
I probably wont call it Project Pan since that's not what I'm doing. I will share empties and declutters but not progress and will also be including clothing and home declutters and monitoring my purchasing.
1. Carry over from 2022 Project Pan.
Mud Masky Is an Australian clay mud mask that came in my fall Fabfitfun box. It's just a pink clay mask. I feel like I cannot notice a difference between this and a drugstore brand that charges a fraction of the cost, but there isn't anything wrong with it. It went on fine tingled a little and rinsed off in a few minutes. I could see myself adding it to my routine 1x a week before a shower for easier rinsing. Their website claims it has up to 10 uses- if that's the case its $5 a mask which isn't horrible, but we'll see what my usage looks like. 8x uses so far
Glossier Balm-dotcom - Birthday Cake It's not universal because it has sparkle so I personally wouldn't use it anywhere other than my lips. My lips got super dry being in the hospital for a lot of November and then the dry air of winter set in and this isn't great for defending against that. I used up about half of the tube this year. I will keep it in my purse, but it's not my go to balm of choice.
Earth Harbor Sampler kit- I got this at a HUGE discount (Paid $14- will be using retail of $32 to assess cost of each item at $8) through fabfitfun- I have enjoyed a lot of Earth Harbor in the past and wanted to try a few more. I finished 2 in December and am left with: Marina (day brightening serum) and Glow Mask (Gel Mask).
Farmacy Honey Halo Hydrating Cream- I purchased this on recommendation from a friend years ago- I have the jumbo 3.4 oz- The honey smell was nice at first, but the allure has worn off-I don't love it. It makes the skin on my face itch- but its okay on my body- It probably doesn't play well with some of my skin car products, but those are my holy grail items so they stay and I will use this elsewhere.
2. Products that are in my normal rotation - This isn't a focus it is acknowledging that The "basics" of my skin care, hair care and oral hygiene run about $1000 for the year and I will use up products in the natural flow of things- I will always buy on sale when appropriate and hope to not spend that much.
3. Products that are really old and I need to use it or toss it rotating faster- try for a month or two and either keep or toss and then at the end of 2023- Look at everything I had kept and declutter based on what I actually reached for.
Went through my current collection and my Sephora purchases dating back to 2016 and Ulta back to 2019 to see just how old these things are Below is a list of what I didn't declutter
KVD Foundation NOV 2021- Full coverage focus foundation
Perricone MD No make up Foundation June 2020- Daily Focus foundation
Jouer Bronzer Due- July 2019- better for summer
Becca Face Palette Oct 2018 better for winter/fall - goal to use up bronzer
Becca Cream Highlighter Oct 2017 - already hit pan looking to use more (Summer)
Mini Becca Highlighter Sept 2017 - already hit pan looking to use more (Winter)
Becca Amethyst highlighter March 2017-Get more use out of for Vegas and summer
Kevin Aucion Color Contour palette- Don't know when I got this- but I like all of the colors and would like to make progress before tossing it- so it will be my go to for face color for the next bit.
Additionally last year while I used up or decluttered over 200 products I brought in more than 60 new items- some where used up over the year others were not. I project 30 products entering the collection throughout the year in my basics- I have a goal of bringing in no more than 50 total products next year including the 30 in basics. I have far fewer things to use it but have set the goal of 50 products to use up/ declutter so I net 0 for the year.
It feels good to be at a point with my make up that I am down to the products I actually use and enjoy on a daily basis- rather than being overwhelmed. But we will see how the year goes.
