Project Pan is a common ‘programme’ for de-cluttering: Constantly using a certain number of makeup or skincare items, and refusing to buy more until they have finished.
When I attempted to clear out my cupboards, I was horrified to realize how much clutter I had. There were a surprising number of things I have, which I have stopped using. Hence the beginning of my project.
Starting small, I wanted to get the smaller things out of the way (and feel accomplished at the same time).
Foundation, blush, lipgloss, highlighter, makeup base, eyeshadow. Some of the most basic makeup items.
I’ve kept the makeup base and foundation for a long time without using them, it’s time to finish them off. I hardly use the highlighter either, it’s time to incorporate it into my daily routine.
I’ve almost never touched the Estee Lauder eyeshadow at all. While I doubt I can finish this off easily, at least I’ll finally start using it instead of letting it languish in a drawer.
Basic lipgloss and blush. The lipgloss is actually good, but I’ve put it aside and neglected it, so it’s time to use it again.
I’ve plenty more things in my stash, which is why I’m starting small, so I can move quickly. I hope to have renewed cupboards by the end of the year, so I’ll have a nice timeframe of six months. Which makes my feel better than thinking of getting new things and adding on to the load.
Thrown anything out recently?
