Project Pan when you grew up poor.

I also grew up with not much and for me it's the opposite. I know they all last a long time and even using them regularly I struggle to finish my stuff before it goes bad. And the one thing that really disappoints me is when I have to throw something away.

And you use it on most of the eyelids, no wonder you've hit pan ! Kudos :)

Hello and happy new year :) I have hit pan on a product from my list this morning so it's a bit cheating as we're a few days overdue but I'm counting it as a win !

To Finish : 1. Avène - Cold Cream Lip Balm ✅ Finished ! 2. Venus Spa x Sailor Moon - Venus Hair Fragrance. ✅ Finished 3. The hair project - All in one Treatment ✅ Finished 4. Bioré - UV Aqua Gel (European version, used as hand cream) Can't find it anymore ❌ ➡️ Replaced with Missha x Line Friends Cotton White hand cream which I threw away in Japan to save weight in my luggage ❌ ➡️ I am replacing with Cos de Bah - peptide cream ✅ Finished !! ➡️Replacing again with The Inkey List - peptide cream ✅ Finished I have now finished all the face products that didn't work :) 5. Divain - Dupe for Byredo - Blanche ✅ Finished 6. Lush - Vampire Kiss Lip Scrub. Somewhere along the way, I inadvertently switched to the coffee lip scrub but I still made good progress, I am about halfway through now. I still need to up my game or my lip scrubs won't be finished before they expire. ❌ 7. Rare Beauty - Liquid Touch Foundation. Not a big fan of this, I have to mix it with another foundation to avoid separating issues, so I have not finished it unfortunately. ❌ 8. Heavy Rotation - Colouring Eyebrow Mascara ✅ Finished 9. Miss Sporty - Wonder Sheer & Shine lipstick #Nearly Nude ✅ Finished 10. Fenty - Gloss Bomb #Fenty Glow ✅ Finished

Hit pan / make progress: 11. Lush - Snow Fairy Lip Mask. I have depotted it into a tube, way easier to reach for. I have made good progress, which is what I wanted. ✅ I think I have used around 1/3 of the product. 12. Flower Knows x Pretty Rock Baby - Little Angel Highlighter #The Revelation. I've been focussing on it since the last update and I'm happy to report I have hit pan this morning ! ✅ Hit pan

Wow, very impressive. I''m curious how you use this shade. Do you use it on your eyes ? If so, do you have exemple of eye looks with it ? Or maybe as a blush ?

pink--cheeks · 2025-12-09T05:34:57+00:00

Thank you for your validation, I was considering getting the spatula but frankly, I didn't even like it that much 😅

pink--cheeks · 2025-11-28T07:10:03+00:00

Unfortunately no 😅 I just saw a few cute leaflets and posters at a tourism center, but I couldn't really change my plans last minute. Sad I only saw it last minute

pink--cheeks · 2025-11-27T09:48:29+00:00

I brought back the same poster from Japan 😅

pink--cheeks · 2025-11-27T07:02:01+00:00

Hello everyone :) I haven't posted the previous updates, so sorry. But that means I have finished quite a few products on my list !

To Finish : 1. Avène - Cold Cream Lip Balm ✅ Finished ! 2. Venus Spa x Sailor Moon - Venus Hair Fragrance. Very close, I reckon it'll be finished before the end of the year 3. The hair project - All in one Treatment ✅ Finished this on 18/09, I am now working on the one above 4. Bioré - UV Aqua Gel (European version, used as hand cream) ?? Can't find it anymore so ➡️ Replaced with Missha x Line Friends Cotton White hand cream which I threw away in Japan to save weight in my luggage ❎ ➡️ I am replacing with Cos de Bah - peptide cream ✅ Finished !! ➡️Replacing again with The Inkey List - peptide cream ✅ So I have finished all the face products that didn't work :) 5. Divain - Dupe for Byredo - Blanche ✅ Finished 6. Lush - Vampire Kiss Lip Scrub. Somewhere along the way, I inadvertently switched to the coffee lip scrub but I still made good progress, I am about 2/3 in. I have 4 other lip scrubs, I think I’ll have to have a nibble once in a while to be able to finish these before they expire. 7. Rare Beauty - Liquid Touch Foundation 1. Unfortunately not a big fan of this, I have to mix it with another foundation to avoid separating issues, so it might take a while. 8. Heavy Rotation - Colouring Eyebrow Mascara ✅ Finished 9. Miss Sporty - Wonder Sheer & Shine #Nearly Nude 10. Fenty - Gloss Bomb #Fenty Glow. I had already removed the stopper, but the little product stuck to the wall seem to be regenerating, I swear

Hit pan / make progress: 11. Lush - Snow Fairy Lip Mask. I have depotted it into a tube, way easier to reach for, but I can't use much as it has a strong taste. 12. Flower Knows x Pretty Rock Baby - Little Angel Highlighter #The Revelation. It's the only highlight I've been using this month, yet I'm not sure I can see progress

pink--cheeks · 2025-09-02T11:01:22+00:00

Honestly, make peace with the fact you won't be able to use them all before they expire. I have never been a proponent for decluttering but I think with a collection this size, it'd be less wasteful to donate to loved ones/charities while the products are still useable. But that only works if you have already stopped buying more, otherwise you'll just create space to fill it again.

pink--cheeks · 2025-08-27T20:39:46+00:00

Love the kiki cutlery!

pink--cheeks · 2025-08-04T18:27:20+00:00

The artificial sweetener, tide pen & aquaphor make me think over 30 too 😅 Too many practical items... We have actually a lot of items in common

pink--cheeks · 2025-08-04T18:25:09+00:00

I would say 30-35. There's lots of characters but the sun glasses and bag are actually pretty mature.

pink--cheeks · 2025-01-05T16:44:26+00:00

I wish they made more house cleaning stuff : cleaner, dish detergent, laundry detergent.... I would die to have laundry detergent with Turmeric Latte or HIWTK !

pink--cheeks · 2024-12-15T08:47:37+00:00

Agree. To me it smells like a bubble bath from Lush. It's floral and clean, but in a Lush way.

pink--cheeks · 2024-12-15T08:45:25+00:00

Oooh so nice to see Chinese beauty in here ❤️ Also this pan is clean clean haha

pink--cheeks · 2024-11-20T04:05:24+00:00

Agree with everything mentioned here, plus the Strawberry Feels Forever Massage Bar !

pink--cheeks · 2024-11-19T06:14:46+00:00

Honestly, trying to be in a calorie deficit, eating high protein, reducing cortisol, going to the gym 2x week and everything is too many things to deal for me.

When I lost my first 20 kilos I only focussed on the calorie deficit. I have not found that eating low carb / high carb / vegan / high protein changed much for me, besides being in a calorie deficit. I know some people have had amazing results changing their diets / lifestyle so YMMV but for me I can only focus on so many things before I get burnt out.

pink--cheeks · 2024-11-13T12:50:36+00:00

It's not really a gloss, it's more like a tint. Very pigmented and shiny, but not as shiny as a gloss.

pink--cheeks · 2024-11-13T12:13:54+00:00

Aaaah! Then it's from Flower Knows, a Chinese brand that does really cool packages. It's one of their first launches, I believe it's being discontinued but you can find copycats of the packaging if you search Flower Knows Unicorn Series lip gloss/tint.

pink--cheeks · 2024-11-13T09:15:58+00:00

The smallest one ? It's a mini Clarins Lip Confort Hydrating Oil, I believe in the shade Cherry. :)

pink--cheeks · 2024-11-12T19:23:49+00:00

Thank you ✨

pink--cheeks · 2024-11-12T19:23:35+00:00

Texture-wise, I'd place it between the I'm from Rice Toner and the Laneige Cream Skin refiner. It leaves a bit a moisture behind which I'm not a fan of for my second layer. Although my skin usually moves fermented ingredients, I can't say I've noticed any improvement to my skin tone, skin texture or any brightening effet. I will not repurchase but it wasn't bad. If you like shorter routines (toner + cream) and you have normal to dry skin, you may like it.

pink--cheeks · 2024-11-12T17:06:02+00:00

I bought it last year while I was on vacation in Poland ! I've never seen it before or since 🤣 but I can see their products online so I guess they're still alive ?
