Project 200 Pan: July Update

To recap June, I have completed 35.5% of the project and that is 71/200 items. I needed a really good catch up month and I think this past July was the month for it. I was able to use up quite a lot of products, so I should be having at least a couple of review posts up in September from July. Right now as I am writing this, I am on my last week of the semester and I am finishing up two powerpoint presentations. I hate writing presentations. I am not good at them. I would much rather write a paper than do a presentation. I am not artistic and I just don’t have a flare for that sort of thing. Anyway, that’s completely off the topic. Let’s see what I was able to use up/declutter in the month of July that counts towards my 200 pan goal.

13 items to add to the project. I hit pan on the liquid lipstick from bareMinerals. I am currently trying to use the whole thing up now. At this point, I had to remove the stopper, which I count as “panning” lipsticks/lip glosses. The Mark lipgloss has gone bad as I was trying to use it up. Every time I use it too much, it dried out my lips and caused cracked lips with some bleeding. I used up one full sized eye liner and three deluxe sized samples. The Urban Decay dried out before I could use the whole thing. I depotted two color correctors and three eye shadows. I would never use the green or the orange correctors. The black, dark purple, and dark blue eye shadows are ones that I never wold have touched with my hooded eyes. I decluttered the purple glitter, because who am I kidding?! I am also decluttering the Sally Hansen leg makeup, because it looks orange and rubs off of my skin. 84/200

Another 5 rounded up! I finished a full sized toner, eye serum, and eye cream. I finished up two deluxe sizes of eye cream and baby wash. I would repurchase the toner, but I can go without everything else seen here. 89/200

7 products to add to my list. I didn’t see this bubble bath, so I didn’t repurchase. I would repurchase it though. I bought the Equate knock off of the little Aveeno baby tubs, but I think I prefer the $3 tubs. I do not think that they are created equal. The deodorant was really nice and I would repurchase it again at Marshalls. The Degree spray I would not repurchase. Another sunscreen. Might have a few more sunscreen empties by the end of summer and next year we will need to buy all new ones! 96/200

I wanted to show you all Dean’s smile, because I love it! ❤ 96/200 is a really great way to catch up. I am 48% done with this challenge. I am so close to being half way down that I am smiling ear to ear. I really want to make it and have really put in the effort in July. I laxed in August, which you will see. So, I need to really step it up in September to make up for it by using up more of my stuff. I need to finish at least 10.4% of the challenge every month in order to complete it by the end of the year. So that would be like 20 products a month. I know that I won’t make it for August, but I will try to have an epic September like this month was. At this point, I don’t think that I will make it, but I am still going to have fun trying.

Makeup Inventory: Random

I decided to show you guys my random products today. The items that are just in my collection that I don’t have a ton of. I intend of getting rid of this category completely. If it is something that I don’t really use or enjoy, I just want to use it up and get rid of it. I still have to show you all of my eye stuff, but I’ll save the best for last.

Samples: 21

If I can use up all of these samples, I’ll be happy. I’ll also be happy with half of them left, too. I don’t like having too many samples open at a time, so I end up using makeup samples one at a time. I don’t have much to say about samples I haven’t used yet.

Concealers: 2

I would like to only have 1 open at a time, but I have two. I would like to use up the NARS and then focus on using up the one in my pallet. It is the skin colored one next to the bronzer on the second row on the right. It is a highlight, but it is more suitable for a concealer for me. I’m happy having two but I would like to only have one open at a time and one back up. I don’t use concealer everyday, so this will be a challenge to use up one by Jan.

Color Correctors: 4

I have the four on the top row: purple, green, peach, and orange. Purple is my most used along with the peach which I tend to add a little orange to. The peach/orange is great for covering up undereye darkness. The purple is great to lighten up shadows on your face. I’d like to hit pan on the purple one by January. I really want the Urban Decay Fluid Correctors and I will replace these with those once I use these ones up.

Brow: 1

This is my only brow product. My brows are already thick, so I don’t see the point in using brow products. I’ll use it up, but I doubt I’d ever buy a brow product in the near future. I want to finish this by January.

My eye shadow, liner, and mascara post is going to be big. I have a lot of eye products for a girl who only does her eye makeup on the weekends. Subscription boxes contributed to most of this category coming up. Stay tuned!
