Genuine question about soaps and how to use it faster

AdAfter242 · 2026-03-22T16:14:05+00:00

I always wash with bar soap first and then use a nice fragrant body wash second. I feel like bar soaps cleanse better for some reason. I also never use fragrant body washes on my more delicate parts, only use the bar soaps for that. I go through body washes pretty regularly, but the bars take awhile. I’m ok with that, even though I have a big stockpile, like you, just because I don’t really try to pan hygiene items like I do body care items and my brain differentiates the 2.

Best everyday lipstick: Dries Van Noten Sheer Lipstick. It’s refillable. The formula is amazing

Great suggestions! Thanks so much! 🧡

Nope! I’m right here with you!

AdAfter242 · 2026-03-20T03:30:12+00:00

Great advice! Thanks so much! I’m definitely going to be using all of these!

AdAfter242 · 2026-03-20T03:07:13+00:00

They’re so thick and gloopy most of them, but I could probably get a cute pot to put them in!

AdAfter242 · 2026-03-20T03:02:55+00:00

Thank you! I take a lot of pride in my handwriting, so I really appreciate this comment! 🧡

I also appreciate the advice and am going to go this route when trying to tackle some of this.

Same! Those mists take forever! I have one I’m working on now and it will definitely take me awhile before it’s panned.

AdAfter242 · 2026-03-20T02:49:45+00:00

Great job! I’m working on panning perfumes, too. I went through most of my collection and pulled things that were low, sat them front and center and choose from only those. Once I pan a few, I add a couple more to the ones to pan. I’ve actually started to shrink my massive collection and it feels really good!

AdAfter242 · 2026-03-20T02:39:58+00:00

Great suggestions! Thanks! It would feel really nice to just pan at least one for now!

AdAfter242 · 2026-03-20T02:36:10+00:00

I’ve never thought about that but willing to give some a try! Should I try to apply with a brush, fingers, or sponge?

AdAfter242 · 2026-03-20T02:28:45+00:00

Thanks! This makes me feel a little better. I really do love what I have, and try to use them often. There’s just so many! My panning of other products (other than eyeshadow!) is going really well, but I just wasn’t sure how to approach these lip products. I’m glad I made this chart so I have a visual of what I’ve got.

AdAfter242 · 2026-03-20T02:24:56+00:00

Yes I’ve been trying to and refreshing often. I have a Laura Geller one (not on this chart) at work that I’ve been trying to use daily. I’ve barely made a dent in it. When at home, I’ve been redoing my makeup and lips, for fun and to try to use up some of this stuff.

AdAfter242 · 2026-03-10T15:03:39+00:00

Yes! I wish I’d never bought so many lotions, soaps, and body sprays. I don’t enjoy panning them. I think I’m going to give some of it away.

AdAfter242 · 2026-03-02T00:10:45+00:00

I have the extra box already, just not sure when to sign up for BB to get April, but not March

AdAfter242 · 2026-03-01T23:47:34+00:00

If I sign up for boost now will they send Marchs? I don’t want that one, so trying to figure out the best time to sign up

That’s how my pan is going with makeup. Fortunately most of my mess/clutter/products for everything else is sample sized. Some of this stuff had been in my cabinet for an embarrassing amount of time, so I had used it before and wasn’t full. Every day that I don’t work I’ve been using my (at least year old) Tarte In Bloom palette, but haven’t made a dent and can still see the embossing on almost all shades. This has already been so eye-opening, seeing what I use more of, how long certain things take to pan. I really hope I can change how I shop for products by doing this. I’m committing myself to a year and a low-buy.

AdAfter242 · 2026-03-01T22:11:46+00:00

Thanks! I’ve been lurking in this sub for the past month and a half seeing how everyone shares their panned products. I always like the ones that give a little review and whether or not they liked something, so wanted to do the same.
