One of the realizations of the project pan is that it's enough when you try to pan something, even if takes years, the effort sets a mindset that it's not about finishing it's about using what we have and not buying more just to clutter.
Definitely agree with you
I thought about panning an eyeshadow pallet I've had for ages. Then I tried it, realized I hate eyeshadow, and tossed it out.
@tinywalnut6337 If you had it for ages, that was a good indicator that you didn't like it in the first place, good that you finally let it go.
@CrisOnTheInternet I'm learning that! I always thought I liked it, but that I just didn't know how to use it or hadn't found the right occasion.
😭 this story is literally not at all related to the video, but the purple tulips made me cry some happy tears.
When I was three I was playing outside of my Grandparent's house. My Grandma had this huge bed of red tulips but there was this itty bitty baby purple tulip just doing its own thing. Three year old me picks it, runs inside, and presents it to my Grandma like a cat gives its human a dead mouse. I said something apparently cute and childish about it reminding me of her, no one really remembers what. But from then on Grandma always grew me purple tulips and they were our favourite flower. Thanks for that happy reminder, its been a rough weekend/week and I needed it.
this is such a beautiful story so thank you so much for sharing. The tulips were a gift so that is still in the spirit of your story!
Shawna, I just watched a dermatologist's video - might have been Dr. Dray but I think it was Sam Ellis - saying allergic reactions can develop over years. People think, "Oh, it can't be THAT product, I've been using it forever with no negative effects," but it can be an old favourite that suddenly turns on you. Considering the fact that it's your eyes that are reacting, and lash serums are a common culprit, my guess is it's the lash serum. Love watching you.
A little bit ago you suggested making an advent calendar with our own stuff. Best idea ever! I have many of those perfume samples that I’ve not used and many lip products I almost never use. I’ve chosen one each for each day and have been having the best time using them!!
@@christinaorciari343 omg great idea!!! I love perfume samples and face masks, i’m def doing this
I am working to clear out my fridge before Dec 20th, because I will visit my family for Christmas and then go straight to a business trip, meaning I will not be back home for 18 days.
I think this is the ultimate time to give myself a clean slate in my fridge and pantry. I will try to not buy any food if I can help it so that I will rotate through my canned goods as well.
This is a great idea!
Shawna, your videos are the only ones I can stand watching. You’re calm and talk normal. Please don’t ever change.
Yes! I started this a few weeks ago. No more holding on to ineffective products that take up space. No more buying another face mask, serum, primers, etc until the other ones are gone. Save $, save time, save space and not chase the new product. The relief that decision gave me was surprising.
YES!! You got this
something ive been doing already is using the same graphite pencil (starting with the smallest one I can comfortably write with) and ballpoint pen until they are used up. I've been using the same ballpoint pen daily for probably over a year. I was so surprised how long they actually last! I realized I'll probably never need to buy pens and pencils again.
I’m doing the same thing with my pens. I have one Bic pen that hangs with my grocery list. It looks empty but it keeps on writing. lol
Yup! After working for ulta and Sephora for any years I accumulated so much stuff. When moving over seas and not working I made a plan to work through my stock pile of stuff. ITS BEEN 3 YEARS!! And I still had so much stuff. I was only able to finish up my hair care stuff, and a big chunk of my skincare. Make up I just ended up giving to friends, donating to the local high school’s theater program, and STILL moving a ton back to the states. I have definitely become more critical of my purchases.
I'm panning old socks, the ones so thin that they're about to bust into holes in the heels. Finished my clothing repair pile yesterday. Excited to wear old favorites again. I don't need to look for the new thing. Cause I already have it. 🐝🐥
We get candles on every trip we go on, and accumulated a backlog. In another video, you had mentioned to count how long a collection would last to use up - roughly a year and a half by my count, of continuous use. We are working our way down through now and have finished 3 so far 🎉
Tip: if you have shower gels you don’t like/have extra of, use it and sugar to make a body scrub
I depot them into my hand wash container
Both are excellent ideas, thanks for sharing!
100% on board with you. I’m still very new to really addressing my impulsive spending behavior, but I’m excited to join in on project pan.
I really love this thing of project pan ❤ I don't wear makeup but i used to purchase a LOT of art supplies and notebooks. I started to do a "stationery / art no buy and use your goddammit stuff first" challenge for myself in January 2023 and am still doing it. In these two years i emptied a lot of stuff, but i probably will have to do it for at least two or three years to finish my stash. I did finished a lot of pens though (and i was also so ashamed to have to throw away some that dried out before even having been used once, it's what triggered the no buy in the first time), as well as a good stash of gouaches ❤❤❤
Still have too many notebooks ! I'll probably end up donating or selling some. Especially as i might have to move next summer for my work 😂
this is so amazing! Congratulations on your success!
Um I also have my art supply stash. It'll take a while lol but I managed to use 2 full sets of supplies over the 2 previous years ✨
I love to pass items on that are not getting good use to appreciative others. My wardrobe is comfortably small, wear very little makeup, and enjoy my very basic toiletries.
Using up what you have is awesome! Using expired products is not. It’s likely your irritation is from using expired eye products. Powders like eyeshadow last a really long time, but anything that isn’t a powder can absolutely be really irritating, and even cause pink eye.
I’m glad I started this project! I started with 14 items and I’ve finished 7. So I decided to add some sheet masks. I am notorious for buying boxes of those at TJ Maxx and then only using one mask in the box. I am going to see how many masks I can finish by the end of the year.
I had 8 bottles of Victoria's Secret body mist (all of them were variations of the Vanilla scent). I've been using them during this year and I managed to finish 3 of them. Number 4 is almost finished 🎉
@@ashaeerie I’m jealous!!! I have tooo many😣
I did this last year and this year for makeup, lip balm, lotion, and body spray. I only had a target of using up 4 things this year because I had used up a bunch of odds and ends last year. I am proud to say I have used up 8 things this year! It may be 9 by the end, but I have been scraping out a lip smacker with a tiny spatula for months now, and I thought I would have finished it by now. Granted, I just use it in the morning when I put on my morning skin care since I am scraping it out (can't exactly carry it around with me), but every month I think it will finish it soon.
Those tulips are beautiful. They are a really gorgeous color! I started a no buy on December 1st. I figured if I can make it through Christmas, I can handle the next year. I have to know that I’m capable of this. 💪🏻
Good luck! Proud of u!
Wishing you the best of luck! I'll be rooting for you ❤
@@shawnaripari awww, thank you. This channel has definitely inspired me to reflect on my behavior. I always justified my purchases because I shop small, local, sustainable but in the end 💸💸💸it’s all money spent.
Personally, I only finish products that I enjoy and find worth using. I'm very confident in my decision, because I'm conscious of my purchases and always do my research beforehand. So if despite my best efforts the product doesn't work for me, I'm happy to declutter it. I've already lost my money, I don't want to lose anything else - like feeling confident in my skin or the feeling of enjoying my products. I don't think I should suffer (ok that's a bit dramatic, let's say I don't want to feel inconvenienced) for something that's not my fault, like a formula that doesn't work for me.
I have a similar philosophy, if I try something new and it doesn't work for me then I am okay getting rid of it. Like I just tried a new lip product that doesn't seem to work for me - I will probably try it 2-3 more times just to see if I like it but I'm pretty sure I will just get rid of it. Same with a nail polish color that I just tried but don't like on me - fortunately with this I can give it to my mom because she really liked the color when she saw it on me. I have other nail polish colors that I love on me so I would rather just use those colors instead.
I don’t have any makeup really (though I think I’ll go through the leftover lipsticks and check expiration, they’re just taking up space under my bathroom counter), but I’m proud of myself for finishing a bottle of lotion this month and also resisting the urge to buy a seasonal but expensive for my budget hand soap. Instead I got a seasonal body wash that would last longer and I wouldn’t ordinarily buy, and that’s been a really nice treat 🙂
i dont wear makeup often so it's going to take me a lifetime to use up my eyeshadow palette tbh, but i want to finish some lip balm/gloss this month.
i definitely need to use the "panning" mindset with my art supplies. i have a lot of paint, paper, ect. but i never make art. and whenever i do want to make art, i feel drawn to buying something new. kind of like a fresh start? it never works though, so i have lots of stuff sitting around.
I’ve been saving my “empties” as motivation to work through everything I accumulated during my subscription box era. 😅 it’s super satisfying to see all the products I have used up at the end of the year. I have a few things I’m hoping to have empty by the end of the year most significantly a body spray/ perfume. I’ve been interested in exploring new scents as I’ve gotten older but feel like I should finish the scents I have first.
Loved your video! I feel motivated to pull out a few more items to focus on for the rest of the year now!
Hi Shawna! Your comment at the start of your video has motivated me to finish an eyeliner that is almost done as well as make it through a large tea stash. Thanks for the tea idea!
I have a vitamin c moisturizer/ spf I got hoping it would be a dupe for an expensive Murad one but it wasn’t and burned in my skin too. I do actually love using it in my chest and hands. It has been a great way to use it up and also be better to the skin on my body. 😁
i have (actual) wood ceilings and they need a lot of oils/moisture. whenever i have a moisturizer/oil that doesn't hit eith me, i use it up by cleaning and polishing the ceiling lol same for window sills.
i think the same could apply to wood furniture as well.
I love this idea!
I collected B&BW products and eyeshadow palettes like crazy. I spent thousands on this stuff while not having much money... so it wasn't great financially either. When I finally realized that I NEVER finished a product and these items were either sitting on a shelf or in a drawer, and I usually forgot I even had it.... I finally decided I didn't need all of it. The amount of items I got rid of was crazy. I still have those products I kept, and haven't finished any of them (except for one body cream I could tell was going bad, and I had the choice of getting the new one on sale so I replaced it). I'm glad I don't spend as much anymore, but I'm still disappointed I wasted all that money.
Relate ❤ progress is progress 😊
I don't wear a ton of makeup but I've accumulated some extra skin/hair/body care products so I'm trying to use those up so I can get back to just having my favorite products. Like extra hair oils, face scrubs, masks, etc. It's nice to try new things sometimes but it also stresses me out when I have too many options in my bathroom, I truly like just having my basic favorite products in there.
I also have a huge amount of perfume samples that I never wear. So I want to start picking one, testing it out, if I hate it then get rid of it (maybe try to give them away but most of my friends aren't into perfume so I might just have to throw them out... they've been sitting in my room for literal years at this point I just need to use them or toss them) and if I like it then that becomes my perfume of the week/month/however long it takes to finish it. I have a couple of scents I really like and I would like to get to a point where I just have those perfumes.
I also have a LOT of yarn since I knit and crochet, I've been on a yarn ban (in general just a craft supply ban) since the summer and it has actually been so nice to work on & finish projects I have already started, and to come up with ideas for how to use my old/scrap yarn. I just started a scarf for all the little scrap bits that aren't enough to make anything else. I think I will donate some of the full balls of yarn because I just genuinely have so much scrap yarn & half-used balls of yarn so if I get rid of the full skeins I will still have a lot of yarn to work through. And at least personally, I always love finding yarn or craft supplies at the thrift store, so hopefully that will help another crafter out :)
In general I'm trying to get back into the mindset of using what I have before buying more. This is simpler, less stressful, and of course less wasteful.
You inspired me to finish stuff I already have in previous videos and I am currenly working on actually drinking all the tea I bought in previous years. I still have some loose leaf tea from last year advent calendar.
Also this is a second year when I keep track of all my book buying spending and this year I did way better than last year. Now I need to read 4 more books from the books I already own to finish my 2024 resolution. In my job we get "points" we can exchange for gift cards in culture/sport/travel related shops (as a social benefits) in a special platform, so I kept feeling justified to spend it all on books. Even when I have a big pile of unread ones.
Doing project pan can be really stressful when I don’t go through products as fast as I would’ve liked. So I use a number of products at the same time. Then when a few of them are pretty close to the end I use only them. Then I go back to the original pile and the cycle continues. This way it’s easier to finish something as well as my other things don’t just sit and rot in cabinets.
Candles! We have 13 candles in a 600 sq foot apartment. I put most of them on the same shelf to make it visually apparent how abundant they are. Trying to light them more. Especially with Seasonal Affect Disorder and the sun disappearing by 5pm
one of the best reminder de-influencing tips fr! thank you! i also noticed for the products we delay to finish, possessions we purchased shouldn’t put us in a pressure of finishing them or remind us we wasteful etc.
I love pens and notebooks. I write a lot so burn through the notebooks. I was looking in my office and saw some metallic gel pens in my pencil cup. I collected them all and have been using them up this week.
I love being in town during Dec, browse around & "treat" myself to things . Today while walking around T K Maxx(it's UK) I had your voice in my head and I actually put the pj and slippers out of the basket and left as tbh I really don't need them! I Just liked them Thank you for the daily vlogs they help ❤ from Chester UK
Edit : yesterday I sorted my samples shampoo& conditioner because of your other video and I have lots of them and realised i don't actually need to buy any for good few weeks!
I'm so proud of you! Thank you so much for sharing
Nice to see someone from the UK. Found Shawna's channel recently and I find she has helped a lot.❤
I agree with the idea of project pan. Will not be buying any fragrances until the ones I have are used up ♡
I’m retired from the beauty industry. After year one I went through all of my makeup and realized half of it had expired and half of what remained I would never use again so that went too. I replaced a few necessities like mascara and foundation and was good for about another year. Then my post menopausal skin decided to misbehave and I had to get rid of most of what was left. At this point I have basics. Foundation, blush, brow stuff, an eye palette, mascara and a lip liner and lipstick. The least amount of makeup I’ve owned since high school and ya know what? It’s enough 🧘🏻♀️
Instead of a tally u could write the date on it of when u opened it…that’s what I started doing to see either how fast I was going thru something or how slow
Ohhh this is such a good idea!
You inspired me to really focus on using up a few hand creams before the new year and maybe one makeup product (my makeup use is rare at best). Thanks for sharing this project!
I would leave the brow pencil till summer because any tan you get will give you a bit more warmth in your face and make the slightly warm pencil work a lot better!
I always tell myself I have a drawer of stock (on offer purchases/free gifts/multi-pack spares etc). I'm laid in bed watching and realising it's 2.5 drawers, its taken over the drawer above and the drawer that used to just have my waxing stuff is now half back ups. They are medium drawers 35cm wide x 40cm deep x 15cm tall. Way too much money invested in there. I need to get it back down to 1 drawer
This month I'm finishing a sunscreen, prob two or three nearly there lip balms, nail polish base coat (or as close as I can really get), a travel size moisturizer (sephora perk). Otherwise, I *love* the alternate use method. So many things get used up this way. I've got a lip balm that doesn't last for shit, but that makes it great for prepping lips while I do the rest of my makeup. Creams I don't love get slathered on my feet before bed. Crappy shampoo is now used on make-up brushes or becomes a stain remover for clothes. Don't like the way this conditioner leaves your hair? Now it's a pre-poo mask. It's just crucial to remember that 99% of product names are marketing tactics, not rules.
Oh! And recently completely finished: two other lip balms/oils, brow pomade, a tube of tretinoin, a small hand cream that was living in my desk drawer, toothpaste, hair oil, two candles, a pen refill and journal.
I’m a compulsive buyer.I get stressed and think that buying will help me feel better. I want to do a no buy this next year but don’t want to set my self up for failure. I’m trying to get prepared but it’s not easy.
I'm working on a perfume and a blush that is neverending. I'm also working on a powder and a cream bronzer. I love using my stuff, and I'm trying hard to focus on not bringing in more. ❤ love your content 🇨🇦
My goal is to finish some of my transparent sticky notes and regular sticky notes up! I am a big into journaling and really want to utilize what I have.
I think your eyebrows look great!
I've got a body lotion I want to use up. I've just finished a body butter and now concentrating on the lotion. I really love it so I'm almost sad to use it up (?) but I've had it so long I need to enjoy it before it has to be thrown out and loses its scent etc.
Also used up a few soaps. I don't normally wash with bar products so that's use that wouldn't normally have happened. I've told myself once I use things up I'll allow myself to get whatever brand replacement I want. But just one item per category at a time. Use it up, then get more. So much more cost effective to buy one expensive one and use it up than buy lots of cheaper ones that expire too.
Today I’m gonna get rid of everything in my bathroom I don’t use (hair, body, skin products) and consciously use the rest of it. I have SOOO much hair stuff it’s disturbing
I love this video! Reduce, reuse, recycle.
You might already know this/have explored this - but I had a super similar experience with a vitamin c moisturiser and it turns out (from what I believe after trialling multiple products) my skin had developed a reaction to benzyl alcohol, which would make my skin horribly flakey hot and itchy - was just thinking if it's multiple products that ingredient could be worth looking into - apparently an allergy to it is fairly common!
Your foundation looks phenomenal and your make up over all gets a 10 out of 10. Absolutely beautiful.
Old skincare can be used as hand cream! Just keep it on you night stand and rub some on your hands before bed!
I’m trying to use up a serum. After applying to my face I put some on the back of my hands.
Yyyooooo, shawna tiiime
i'm planning to make a list of the products i wanna focus on using up.. whenever my executive dysfunction will let me 😅
also happy to say i made it through black week with just one purchase - which was protein bars, floss and some more things like that, which i needed anyway. so i'm pretty proud :)
You definitely should be proud! Congrats on your black friday success 🙌
Not project pan, but I'm trying to read as many of the books I own that I havent read before the end of the year. I've managed 3 in November so hopefully I can knock over at least another 3 before the end of the year (and not buy any more books until I'm done with them all).
Thinking about myself, how this makeup obsession started, and why. I know it began around the Covid shut down, and just kept going. What in us starts these things? What makes our brains change, and how do we retract it to do opposite? Like with any other obsessions, I want to stop this compulsiveness. Any advice would be great❤
Recently found your videos and I have been binging a lot of your content, extremely helpful to have this all in mind before the holidays! Wondering if you have touched on the “if this is under…” trend?
I have a vitamin C essence to pan before 2025. My goal is to keep it basic for skincare from now on, since if I'm real honest I can only do 2 steps skincare max and I don't care anymore about having a perfect skin either
Hi Shawna! I’m going to join you. I will be attempting to make a good dent in my collection of tea. Thanks for being so inspiring.
Hi! I just gotta say how beautiful you are, inside and out. Whatever skincare regimen you are on, keep using it ❤ You're glowing
Tea. I have too much but I want more for Christmas.
I have absolutely loved project pan... my cream brushes (the powder will last longer so using them after getting full use from my cream ones) and a few other products are in a small tub near my sink, and I have really enjoyed getting the full life out of my products. It also makes doing my makeup less stressful as the only thing I actually choose is my eyeshadow palette (my great love and I have lots of them) and between two blushes. I don't wear makeup every day at the moment as I'm not working, but I feel so satisfied with every product I am able to fully use up, especially products that I have had for a long time - I have a bunch of foundations that were decluttered to me and am mixing them to get a good finish and get through them.
My consumable I am using up before Christmas is a jar of boiled lollies I got about 6 years ago (they are still fine, just not my favourite). If I have one every day I will use them up in about 3 weeks and they will finally be out of my pantry.
Your videos kept getting suggested to me and i finally decided to watch one while gaming. Your videos are so relaxing and amusing and im glad theres so many videos of yours i can watch while i do other stuff. I hope you keep making more videos and I wish you much joy and health 🤍
I’m panning my foundation! It’s no longer pumping any product so I’m just scraping out what I can and it will be gone by the end of the year!
loooved this video but couldn't take my eyes away from those tulips! also I am a new subscriber and I absolutely love your videos to even get some work done lol your voice is soothing like listening to a podcast!
Can I just say, Shawna, that your make-up in this video is absolutely stunning
im trying to use up my clinique black honey lip balm!
I don’t miss a day a week *yutulu*This show..😂😂😂😂
Your make up is always so gorgeous❤
what lip color are you wearing? It is very pretty
I let go of a tub of hair conditioner that has been sitting in my bathroom for years because it doesn’t work with my hair. The money was wasted years ago, I don’t need to clutter my bathroom forever! And it’s way too old to pass on so it’s just hoarding rubbish at this point.
Your makeup looks great today btw!
Or use the product up by the expiration date! Most makeup doesn't last as long as we think!
what eyeshadow are you wearing??
Thank to you, I used up so many products. I’m glad I started this pan project. But, one of them gave me a rash 😂 message to y’all : It’s ok to throw away old stuff sometimes 😅
If I don’t like it, I usually just give whatever it is away. If it is unsanitary to do so I just toss it. That being said, I don’t wear make up and only use two skin care products so I don’t have anything to go through anymore. I have two deodorants, so I’m using up the one I’m not so fond of first. It doesn’t cause me any issues, just doesn’t work as well as the new one so that’s my one thing I’m going through. I have a few hair care products I don’t like at all so I’m trying to find somebody to give those to.
Can we talk about using more of a product than one needs
Just to get rid of it?
@@suides4810 it doesn’t sound to me like she’s wasting it, more like moving through things instead of letting them languish and expire, then moving through things she already has on hand. Working through what you already have really makes you mindful of what you have and not buying more than you need in the future.
I love your tulips!
I have to assume someone else has suggested this already, but I’ll mention anyway; you could call this series Vid-mas. 😊
💜💜💜
*yutulu* is your partner in young people’s fashion journey
I'm struggling with ideas of how to use up my makeup. I have it from when I used to do shows on stage, but never wore it in everyday life. Now Im not doing shows anymore, im not sure what to do with it. I hate the idea of throwing it out and I wear makeup maybe once or twice a year, but by the time i hit the "pan" itd be years and years old.
I can understand the struggle. If you're looking for alternative, there are videos out there where people talk about how they repurpose their makeup or use it in alternative ways. One example I learned about recently was how people use powder eyeshadow as nail polish. I've personally transitioned some of my makeup into art supplies and I've swapped makeup with friends/family. You may not be able to repurpose everything but there's a chance you can repurpose some of it. Someone else mentioned donating their makeup to theatre in the comments as well, which could potentially be an option.
The brows look fine on camera, but the color might look more off in person. The lip color is great on you. 🙂
What's the mac lipstick shade name? 😳
blankety
@shawnaripari Thank you for replying. 😭🩷
I am so not into makeup and I need to ask….
People are actually measuring the size of the hole in an eyeshadow?!?! Because that is frankly kooky!!!
Great job!
Wow! I recently had a terrible reaction in my eyes and the culprit for me was the MERIT “clean” lash mascara. I was so disappointed because it’s pretty much new. My eyes puffer up, were peeling and itching, all the things. Just terrible. 😞 I will have to dispose of it and the cost was $26. Needless to say I will no longer buy from that brand.
Decent match👍🏼
Not to give unasked for medical advice, but if you are having an allergic reaction, you may want to consider not using that product at all as you might continue to sensitize yourself to it, which can make the reaction worse over time. This is just something you might want to look in to and do some research on. If you've already considered this, then please ignore me!
I don't really project pan but I do have a "focus box" of older makeup products I would like to get more use out of before they go bad. I have a Dior Backstage foundation there that's got to be five years old by now. 😂🫣 I just don't see -or smell- any changes in the product so I haven't thrown it away like any sensible person would do. There's only a little left so that would be perfect for my first ever project pan. I'll join you and finally finish it this month, wish me luck!
The focus box is such a good idea!! Will definitely also implement it (I have a bit too many lipsticks!!😂)
I love the idea of a focus box! Definitely implementing this, the number of (basically the same shade) eyeshadows I have is actually ridiculous.
this is such a lovely idea!
