Project 10 Pan

Well, the time has come. I need to embark on the dreaded Project 10 Pan! I guess I shouldn’t look at it as the “dreaded” project because I’ll probably never accomplish it if I think like that… Basically I have a cupboard overflowing with products that I don’t feel like I’m getting enough use out of. I keep buying new things and not making the most of the things I already have. So I’ve decided to do a project 10 pan for haircare, skincare and a project 5 pan for makeup. I don’t really have THAT many body products to justify a project 10 or 5 pan, so I’m leaving that one out for now. If you haven’t heard of Project 10 Pan before, it’s basically where people who have too many products attempt to use up 10 things before purchasing anything new. My one exception for this rule will be if it’s something that I feel that I have to replace. Foundation (of which I only have 1), mascara, moisturiser and facial cleanser will need to be replaced if I run out of those before the 10 pan finishes. I’m pretty sure that with everything else I have a few back up products to use so I should be okay.

I will be keeping a tally in the sidebar for products I use up as I go. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join me on this… If you feel like you’re spending too much on skincare, makeup and haircare and want to use up a few things in your cupboard – feel free to jump on board!

  1. Great idea! I usually do something like this for one or two things, but ten! I’m going to give it a try…I may only get rid of moisturizers and body lotion but that’s worth something right?

  2. Ohhh.. your willpower is so strong! Though why only 5 for makeup? :)

    • I chose 5 for makeup because I don’t actually have THAT much stuff (at least not compared to my skin care / hair care collection!) so I thought I would start with the 5 and work my way from there…

  3. oh i’m really interesting to see how you do with this! i don’t use that many products, but i do tend to buy stuff before i finish the products that i have. anyways, good luck!

  4. I’ve been doing it for a while now – I am doing 10 full size items and 10 trial/sample items, as I have so many of those as well. I’ve only used up two of each so far, but I’ve got several things that will be done by the end of this week, so I’m getting there.

    I was a bit naughty and bought a lipstick in Priceline today, though. Oh well, back on the wagon. :-)
