Project Pan 2022 - Makeup Empties

The time has come around again to share my 2022 project pan progress report.

To conclude 2022, I wanted to show you how well (or not) I’ve done with finishing makeup products, based on the makeup products I set out in January 2022 to finish by the end of the year. 

At the end of my 2021 project pan, I managed to finish 46 products. My 2022 project pan aim was to use 30 products in total, with at least 2 full eyeshadow palettes. I gave myself the head start this year by starting the year strong with some eyeshadow palettes that are already part finished, namely my XX Revolution CrystalXX palette, Stila Eyes Are The Window Palette and My FENTY Beauty Snap Shadows.

In January 2022, I took a couple of photos of my eyeshadow palettes that I wanted to finish by the end of the year, so that I could track my progress as I hit pan on them.

For those of you who don’t know what ‘hitting pan’ is. it’s where you aim to ‘hit pan’ / see the makeup pan on a powdered makeup product, or in my case - completely finishing up a makeup product. I try to stick to a 1 in 1 out policy when it comes to my makeup collection, but Christmas tipped me out of this routine and my makeup collection grew considerably. 

Project Pan 2022 Progress - Eyeshadow Palettes

Products I hoped to use up in 2022 include:

ELF Need It Nude - Mid Year Progress - April 2022

End of Year Progress - December 2022

 

 

 

 

Finishing up December 2022, I am so close to finishing up two further shades in my Fenty Snap Shadows.

Makeup Empties: 2022

So what makeup have I actually managed to finish?

Foundations (5) - £49.95-  5 x Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation (£9.99 ) 

It’s not hard to tell what my favourite foundation of 2022 was! I love this foundation as a fail safe and it’s affordable and versatile for daily wear or for going out. I LOVE it. 

Concealers (3) - £14.97 - Maybelline Fit Me Concealer -(£5.99), 2 x Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer (£4.49 each)

2022 saw the completion of three concealers, all under £10 and both one’s I’d class as firm drugstore favourites.

Powders (1) -£34 - Laura Mercier Loose Powder - Translucent

I tried to repurchase this, but I believe this exact powder has now been discontinued in favour of a ‘glow’ version. If I could repurchase this, I would. Super long lasting and a firm favourite.

Bronzer (1) - £42- Charlotte Tilbury Bronzer - Fair 

I’ve since received a refill of this, but opted for the next shade up as ‘Fair’ was unfortunately too pale as a bronzer. I loved using this in 2022.

Eyeshadow (7) - £16.66  - Ted Baker Brown Cream Eyeshadow Pan (x1) - (£6 eqv), Bellini Baby Eyeshadow (5 Fenty Palette) (£3.67 eqv.), Stila Eyeshadow - Thought (From Eyes are The Window Palette) - (£2.75 eqv), 2 x ELF Eyeshadows - Need It Nude Palette - (£2 eqv), 2 x LA Girl Eyeshadows (£2.24 eqv.) 

It’s not quite been the 23 eyeshadows I’d used in 2021, however, I’m still pleased with the progress I’ve made in 2022.

Mascara (0) -

Primer & Setting Spray (3) - £40.50- Iconic Prep-Set-Glow Setting Spray  (£22), Smashbox Oil & Shine Control Primer (£14), Avon Magix Makeup Setting Spray (£4.50)

Considering I only tend to reach for primer  for ‘special occasions’ and setting spray with my XX Revolution eyeshadows, I was pleased to use up one primer and two setting sprays in 2022.. 

Blusher (0)

Lipstick, Gloss & Balm (1) - £3 Avon Lip Balm Stick (£3)

Highlighters (1) - £6 - Revolution Liquid Rose Gold Highlighter (£6)

It would be wrong not to finish with my one of my favourite makeup items of 2022. If you are a fan of a GLOW, this is the only illuminator/ highlighter you need. A couple of drops leaves such a glossy sheen on your cheeks that can be sheered out or built up according to your preference. 

TOTAL:  £204.08
