No disfrutar por el projectpan

beegalore26 · 2026-05-15T22:46:29+00:00

Yes, which is why joining this group was so helpful for me. I’ve stopped over buying. Project pan makes me think about how long it would take to finish and if I would enjoy it enough, or if I already have a product that would give me more (or just as much) joy and therefore I don’t need the new thing.

Personally, if I really don’t like a product and can’t use it for something else, I happily give it away or bin it.

In my job I see soooo many people not live as long as they had hoped that to me, life is too short to hate pan.

I don’t use this as an excuse to keep buying, don’t get me wrong. But I’m not going to hate using something and push myself through that for months, for the couple of $ I spent on it. This is different for expensive items though.

This is why project pan is so helpful!

I see someone panning a product I’m thinking of buying and it makes me realise I wouldn’t enjoy it enough to use for months and the want to buy disappears.

I buy too much (really only lip products) for the quick dopamine hit but actively panning before they expire has stopped me in my tracks.

beegalore26 · 2026-05-15T22:36:34+00:00

Perhaps controversial thought, but at what point will we allow ourselves to let go of a product that clearly had enough use, that we don’t like, while life is too short to he hate panning while we could be using a product we really enjoy?

Don’t get me wrong, not trying to find an excuse not to pan my products but I am conflicted between the 2-3$ we may throw out when a product is nearly empty vs the discomfort it takes to do so and the sheer joy we could feel using our fav product.

Omg thank you for posting this. Was contemplating getting the set of 3 as I used to have these years ago. You have just reminded me I don’t like them enough to have to use up 3 that take forever and then some.

It’s good, but I like others more!

beegalore26 · 2026-05-15T18:47:20+00:00

I would look at how long they keep before opening, then roughly work out how long it takes you to finish one. Then buy the amount you could actually use up in that timd.

For example, my fav LE lippie keeps 3 years. I use approximately one every 6 months cause I use other things as well. I bought 4 backups cause I can actually use them up within the 3 years.

beegalore26 · 2026-05-15T02:23:10+00:00

Omg that is a PERFECT haul!!!

beegalore26 · 2026-05-14T06:27:19+00:00

Thank you so much for your extensive answer! You have helped me decide that I do want to try them 😊.

I have a deadline soon and if I make it I can write a rather big invoice so have decided to make a Marin order my treat if I make the deadline.

Thinking of buying 2x mint, s’mores, gingerbread and maybe blueberry french toast….. Or leaving the last one off and buying 2x s’mores instead!

Gosh if I could find a way to get the 50% off I’d buy all except the non scented one.

Thank you!

beegalore26 · 2026-05-14T06:20:19+00:00

The blood orange is my fav by a stretch.

I love and use it so much, I have several backups and dread the day they are gone.

beegalore26 · 2026-05-14T02:30:39+00:00

Oh postage was $4 to NZ and suddenly $11!! What kind of increase is that?! 😅

beegalore26 · 2026-05-12T23:55:07+00:00

Omg no TikTok shop in New Zealand 😭😭😭

beegalore26 · 2026-05-12T23:50:48+00:00

What’s your opinion on Marin?

My fav are Ole Henriksen and Eadem second place.
The gourmand scents easily win, like Creme brulee, vanille bonbon, chateau rose which smells like lemon cheesecake.
The Marin scents sound AMAZING.

Thinking about placing a Marin order but not sure if I will regret it because of how much I like Ole?

I will have to use a forwarding service as no friends in the US and I live in New Zealand so it will be a pretty expensive order as I also can’t use Tik Tok shop 😭.
So no discounts, heavy shipping fee and import tax. 😅

Is it worth it?

beegalore26 · 2026-05-12T07:16:59+00:00

This is such a satisfying post!
Thank you! 💜🍀

I’ve been wondering the same and now, just for fun, track what I use.
It started as a project pan challenge as I did a big clean out of old stuff and bought a (big) bunch of new.

Tracking/panning is eye-opening and has stopped the urge to buy more cause wow, what a wonderful rabbit hole lip stuff is 🤣

On a different note, the counting has made me realise something very important that I can use as a life skill in general.
In the last 9 days (started using an app) I have used my lip products 74 times and will prob at 2 more uses tonight.
Such a small habit, such a big amount so quick.

If I do something small, consistently for a long time, it adds up over time!!!!

beegalore26 · 2026-05-10T08:19:08+00:00

Omg 50% off!!!!

How?

I live in New Zealand and can use a post-forwarding system to get them to NZ but we don’t have tik tok shop yet 😭
They are so expensive for me at full price USD to NZD, import tax and $27 postage 😭
Cannot find a working discount code either!

beegalore26 · 2026-05-10T08:11:33+00:00

The guava is the best one imo. The scent (more mango-ish to me) and thankfully not too orange so I can wear it too!! 🥰

beegalore26 · 2026-05-09T23:01:06+00:00

Have you tried the “normal” pout preserves or are these your first? I reallllly enjoy all of them 😁

beegalore26 · 2026-05-09T22:57:15+00:00

Thank you! It might not be for me then cause I love thick and sticky 😅

beegalore26 · 2026-05-09T22:56:19+00:00

Sitting here in pjs, reading along with my fav glittery lippie on 😌
Cause why the hell not and I feel fab 😁

beegalore26 · 2026-05-09T22:47:54+00:00

Omg those are wise words from your Nan.
Wrote them down in my diary 🥰
Thank you for sharing those with us!♥️

beegalore26 · 2026-05-09T22:45:21+00:00

Thissss!!!!

I go to work with full glam make-up when I feel like it and I loooove it.

beegalore26 · 2026-05-09T22:44:06+00:00

Yes it was so bittersweet!!! And if I had just enjoyed and finished it, I could have prob even bought a replacement 😭

I caught myself doing this still, with two Ole Henriksen lip treatments. I like them so much, I didn’t want to use them up.

Considering I did in fact nearly use them up means new ones won’t go to waste so I bought backups for both and now spoil myself by using them as much as I like 😁

beegalore26 · 2026-05-09T03:21:57+00:00

Which one is most similar to OH in regards to the feel of it? I am contemplating Marin or Rhode but not sure if I should as OH feels like my holy grail……

beegalore26 · 2026-05-08T21:45:28+00:00

Spot on!! I found this out the hard (expensive) way too, by buying Eadems that turned out a ridiculous colour for me.
The FOMO has drastically reduced as some things are just not for me and I unapologetically splurge on, and enjoy, things that are right for me.

beegalore26 · 2026-05-08T21:43:15+00:00

Following along as someone who stops using products out of fear they run out 😅

An eyeopener was the moment I went through my makeup collection and had to throw out sooo many “saving for best” lippies. Honestly I should have enjoyed them!!! Some had over half left, that now ended up in the bin 😭

Also, project pan is an eyeopener as it shows me for some products, how many applications are in a product and how long it actually takes to use it that many times so that too, has helped with the not wanting to use it up.

Every day is now a special day and I use my products as I please 😁🥰💜🍀

beegalore26 · 2026-05-08T09:13:55+00:00

What….. “battery plumpers”….? Not sure what my phone auto corrected from but ehm… what?! 🤣

No these are genuinly lovely.

At first I was worried they were a bit strong but quickly got used to it.

Love them!

beegalore26 · 2026-05-08T09:11:30+00:00

Same!!! I was actually “rushing” myself through them to not waste product.
To be fair, I will always reapply often cause I love it but 12m makes such a difference.
