As one of my beauty resolutions for 2011 is to partake in Project 10 Pan at the beginning and end of the year (and I’ve also noticed that I have spent way too much money on cosmetics lately), I think it’s a great idea to start my Project 10 Pan asap. My Project 10 Pans are slightly different to most, as I opt to finish up a collective 10 products from various categories, rather than 10 makeup, 10 skin care etc. This works out better for me, and it usually takes 2 or 3 months for me to finish up the products, which is a decent amount of time (in my eyes at least) to not be spending money on cosmetics. I also find that after the 3 months or so I no longer have the urge to spend frivolously on products that I don’t necessarily want or need. But we’ll see how long that feeling lasts… I am aiming to spend less in 2011 on things I don’t need, and this seems like a good way to start to me. So here we go, Project 10 Pan starts now!
i really admire anyone who can start project 10 pan and finish it – i started and couldn’t help myself and kept buying makeup. oops.
sending lots of positive makeup vibes your way!!
Thanks Clare! xo
You always do really well with your P10Ps. I envy your restraint. 🙂
Thanks Dee! I’m not sure what restraint you’re talking about but I’ll do my best to live up to that, lol.
Woo hoo, go you! My major aim is to get more on top of my finances, so it’s possible that I’ll join you… I like your version of P10P 🙂
Yes, we can be thrifty together!
Good luck. I’m going to try a similar thing as I’m just swamped with ‘stuff’.
Thanks! Good luck to you too Natalie 🙂
Yeah! i am proud of you for trying to use up before you buy more. I used to do the project 10 pan thing a lot. It really helped me learn to not spend money on makeup (i now do something slightly diffrent. But i found project 10 pan a great jumping off point
Thanks Jayme! I’ve done 2 or 3 P10P’s before and they were always successful. I’m looking forward to this one!
Good luck! I know you’ll do well, and it’s such a good feeling when you use things up.
You know what, you’ve inspired me to sit down after lunch today and sort through my makeup and skincare. Thankyou!! Good luck getting through your stash and have fun rediscovering old favorites.
Good luck to you too! Enjoy shopping your stash xo
So inspiring Jess, I may start another P10P myself.
