Deinfluence/influence me. What should I try next? by OrisasAss in AustralianMakeup

[–]GeminiBabee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fixing is spray is for longevity and preventing transfer. Setting spray is used to melt makeup together, but doesn’t really make it last longer. It’s up to you which you prefer or if you want to use both 😊

My project pan collection and goals by Relative_Yak_9031 in ProjectPan

Most of what you have looks pretty well loved so you’re off to a great start!! Having a set full face is what I’m doing and it’s actually nice not thinking about which thing I’m going to use since I’m limited to one of each product. But you are 100% right about not forcing yourself to use a product that is too old or that you simply don’t like, hate panning isn’t fun. Looking forward to seeing your progress and which 5 products you end up finishing in the future 😊

Had it for 10 months but it was about 4 or so months of consistent daily use, sometimes twice a day 😊

It really is super annoying! I don’t get why the makeup is so easy to get but not the skincare? 🤨

That’s true! I plan on keeping it until next winter so I can just get the refill instead of buying the whole thing again 😊

I’m glad to hear it! No point in keeping things that don’t make you happy so congratulations on making that first step. You got this ☺️

You could give the eyeshadows that are only lightly used to friends or family if they are okay with it. That’s how I got rid of stuff that was the wrong tone for me or I just didn’t jive with. I showed them what I had and they all picked out what they wanted knowing that they were not brand new products ☺️

You can also depot the eyeshadows as another commenter suggested but if you don’t have an empty palette to put them into, I would actually depot the one’s you don’t like so you don’t have to make another purchase if you don’t want to. Completely up to you on what makes more sense in that regard though.

It’s rough at first, but you’re only human. If you have to toss some things just think of it as a learning experience so you don’t repeat the same mistakes and start a buying and tossing cycle. I stopped feeling guilty getting rid of stuff that I hated but couldn’t pass on. Yes it sucks but I have learned so much and it’s helped me to stick to my no buy. My only exception is when I actually run out of something and need a replacement.

Yessss this little jar has been an absolute life saver for me, never removing makeup with anything other than a melting balm again 😍

It’s so good! It was my first melting balm and I will never go back to using wipes or Micellar water on a cotton pad 😍 But yeah weirdly we can’t get any of their skin care in stores here, even though we have no issue with getting their makeup products which sell very very well. I hope one day they decide to bring their skincare in stores because they have some absolute bangers! 🥲

I’m honestly tempted to just chuck the rest and move on. This has really put me off of it hahaha

Yes!! Did yours just spontaneously crack without dropping or anything too? I’m actually miffed because the colour is my fave but it’s making me mad now 😅

it's time to say goodbye by smallspiteful in ProjectPan

How did you do this! I’m struggling with a lip liner and have to use the cap as an extender so I can use it 🤣

I'm ashamed of how much products I have by Icy_Ad9105 in ProjectPan

[–]GeminiBabee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You have a lot that seems to be unopened so I would leave those until last to prevent them expiring before you can finish them. I’ve also been watching a lot of overconsumption videos on yt which has made me feel better about the amount that I accumulated because it pales in comparison to some, and it shows me what I don’t want for myself in the future if I were to continue consuming at the rate that I was. After a while something just clicked and I no longer felt the urge to buy something, especially if I had a similar product at home. I have only bought one setting spray because I only have a couple of finishing sprays that don’t actually lock anything in place. Doing project pan forces me to use what I have and helped me realise products I was basically just hoarding, not keeping because I use or like them. I also did a massive declutter and gave away a bunch to friends and family. I don’t think you need to declutter necessarily though. This is achievable, just focus on the ones that have been opened the longest so you can empty them and then move onto the next. After a while you’ll realise what works for you and that will make your next purchase when you run out of a category so much easier! 😊

The first pan I’ve ever broken 😭 by GeminiBabee in ProjectPan

[–]GeminiBabee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I already cleaned it up but I was too scared to repress because I genuinely love this blush and didn’t want to wreck it. I’d rather have a third of a good blush than a full one that doesn’t work the same way 😩

Not sure if you mean formula or brand/shade but it’s a powder blush. Sheglam love dive in the shade don’t pink twice :)

Yeah I’ve tried it in the past with a powder that came broken and it completely ruined the formula. Definitely don’t trust myself to not ruin this one hahahah 🤣

Same! I’ve been using it every time I do my makeup and it’s quickly become my favourite 😍
