I am only 14 years old and i do not have a very Big makeup collection, but i loooove project panning. I really dont want to see my collection get overwelming for me. This community is the Best thing ever and really keeps me (and everybody else i think) going!
Love from Denmark
Welcome, Liva!!! I am very proud of you bc it's very tough to not get sucked into re vortex as we watch CZcams. I admire your resolve and it will remain easy to stick to your goals when you stay connected with people panning!!!!!
My biggest issue is I buy because the colour or packing is gorgeous, I buy to say I have it. Then its almost a compulsion where I cant use the product because I love how it looks new. I don't ever want to not have it. Since project panning, its shown me I how enjoyable it is to use those stashed products I've just been admiring. Thanks for your tips Amber!
Thank you so much for this video. CZcams got me hooked on wearing and trying new makeup, and while it has been so much fun and has raised my self esteem, I've built a collection I know I'll never be able to use all at once. For the past year not only was I buying things in stores (mostly drugstore thank god) I was subscribed to three different beauty boxes that cost me $55 a month. I'm nervous yet excited to try to pan some of my products, and to cut down on my purchases. Today I finally got the courage to cancel all three beauty boxes, and it was a huge start.
I know I'm late to the party, but this was extremely insightful. I hadn't heard of the panning community before yesterday, and I've been an avid youtube watcher for seven years! How did I miss this! Thank you so much. I haven't been this inspired in a long time.
Deanne7902 Holy cow, Deanne!!!! That just goes to show how big the CZcams beauty became because you've been a long time watcher like me! Welcome to the panning community!!!!!! You're never too late to this party! Here's to enjoying your makeup collection!!!
I have been project panning for four months now. You’re video is what introduced me to the community. My goal is to use up 1/4 drawers of eyeshadow. I have only bought two makeup products in four months and that is a big step for me. I have nine drawers of makeup and I want to down size and you showed me this awesome solution. Thank you.
4 years on, and this video is still so helpful to watch for a newbie project panner. I have dabbled into panning for 3 months now and I am starting my first year long project in 2019. Your channel is very inspiring to me. Thank you. X
3 1/2 years after you posted this video and it just showed up in my recommendations. I am subbing to more panning channels these days and removing "beauty guru's" channels..i am over consumerism, hype and having products/brands shoved down my throat. I have spent so much money on makeup in the past almost 2 years and I'm embarrassed. I've been wanting to start project pans, and shop my stashes, but I get overwhelmed trying to pick products and literally don't even know where to start. I've asked project panners if they had a starting out video or a helpful video for those of us who are new to this lifestyle and nobody does... then I see this video. THANK YOU.
Glad to help and I know exactly how you feel, Jessica! ❤️ we’re all figuring out our balances a step at a time 🙋🏻
You are one of the people that made me wanna start my channel, Amber! You are so inspiring and motivating in every way, and I always get so excited when I see a new upload from you. You did so well panning your items this year! You are amazing! Thank you for sharing this super helpful video :)
Courtney K Awwwwwwwwww- that is so neat to hear!!!!!!!! We should do a massive collab on best project panning practices since there are many different approaches to reach the same goal!!!!
That is such an awesome idea!! I'm in!! :)
Amber I am so happy I found you a few months ago. You are so inspiring and for 2014 I finally had successful project pans which I didn't film except for finish 6 by Christmas. I am going to do both finish 7 by spring and 5 by cinco. For what really helps me is being a couponer. I get my shopping fix every week getting tons of stuff for free and tons of makeup for free most weeks. It's exciting to know I never have to pay for drugstore makeup again. Thank you for all your help!!
You go girl! 12 items and lots of accountability and friendships to make! You're going to rock this!!!!!!!!!
Amber, thank you so much for this video. I have recently acknowledged a makeup buying addiction that I have had over the last few years. I too got caught up in the buybuybuy mentality the CZcams enables. I knew I had a problem but it wasn't until I discovered the Project Pan Community and ultimately Lauren Mae's Tube Talk about shopping addiction that I started making changes. I changed up the kind of people I followed, watched more Anti-Hauls and while I have yet to do a official "project pan" I have been making an effort to use things up in my collection. In 2017 I started a challenge in which I picked one item from different categories and used them for a full week, in the attempt to decide if I wanted to keep it or declutter it. Plus I made a huge dent in using up my shower gels and lotion sets (that is until I discovered the huge stock pile under my daughters sink! ACK!) After taking a makeup inventory in January I think I'm ready to try some Low and No Buys in different areas of my collection and I think I'm going to tackle a "Use up 18 in 2018" project pan, focusing on all my non cruelty free items. Which I was pleasantly surprised didn't make up a large portion of my collection. Thank You again and Wish Me Luck!
i just love the way you explain things! I'm pretty sure this video gave a lot of people encouragement and comfort to begin PPing. I can't wait to see all the new panners in 2015!
Robyn Rhinegold I just love how this community grows and grows one person at a time. Its refreshing, its new, its different and dare I say innovative because we are becoming more and more creative with our makeup as we pan!
Have y'all met my life coach? Her name is AmberF!
Awwwwwwwwwwww; wow that is so incredibly sweet to read:) It melts my heart to know you feel that way. Thank you!
I feel the same!
This is such a useful video, thank you!
People often ask me about Project Panning and what it is...I am going to link them to your video!!
Wonderful! Let's keep the legacy lollipop26 gave us back in 2009 going!!!!!
Gerat video, Amber. I remember lollipop26 doing the first project 10 pan. Another idea for you and your viewer might be a project 3 lips or project 5 face, meaning to use up specific products. I never had the feeling to do a 10 pan project, but I did no buys for 6 weeks or 2 month, which worked for me pretty well. I will do a makeup-nobuy while fasting period.
you are the queen of project pan
+Eva Huang Its just hard work and we can all do it together! Have fun with your makeup collection!
Thank you for this video Amber. I will start my project pan in the new year. I admit that I'm a little worried that I'll give up but seeing you finish the Naked palette is very encouraging to me.
ThePrimChicken I feel like that hard work paid off. My makeup no longer intimidates me like it used to! You will get there too!!!!
You are so helpful & I always see you leaving beautiful, supportive comments on panning videos I watch. You're so beautiful and kind (and a palette panning LEGEND)
Thank you for making this video x
Great video. I'm just starting. I don't want to limit my collection or stop spending. I just want to be better at using what I have and not allowing things to expire as well as making more informed decisions when buying my
Makeup
Watching this is a great way to kick off a year of project panning. Lots of helpful tips. Thank you!!! :)
Change is coming!!!!!!! Glad to be a part of it!!!!!
The first CZcamsr I ever discovered doing Project Pan finished 10 and then probably bought double when she got off the no buy! I feel like thats not the point of Project Pan. It is supposed to be to make your collection more manageable, at least for me xo
not really into makeup but want to start wearing it but I could try to do this with other collections thankyou for inspiration
I have been binge watching your videos all day!! I've been wanting to project pan for a little bit. I have decided to start tomorrow. I am going to be panning the tartlet tease. It's a 6 pan palette and I'm giving myself until the end of December.
Thus video was perfect! So inspiring and motivating heading into a year of project pans and a no buy. Thanks!
You bet! I can just feel it's going to be a great year!!!!!
I’ve recently found your channel these tips are great I’m starting to project pan these tips are really encouraging so thank you so much for making this video
Great video ! Thank you for sharing. I'm in the middle of my first project pan and am hooked! :)
That is so encouraging, Jessica!!!!!!!!!!! Keep that enthusiasm and have those photos and videos do you can see your progress when you hit the rough spots!!!!
I am so glad I discovered your channel! I am going to begin the journey of Pan that Palette for 2015. I'm starting small, lol with a 6 pan Stila Palette... but hey gotta start somewhere. Thanks for being an inspiration.
Fabulous, Steff! I'm looking forward to your progress updates, girl!!!!! Merry Christmas!
Thanks for doing this Amber :) felt like I was listening to a podcast on a topic that I love! My first project pan finale is next week and all the tips and advice you gave were fantastic. I completely agree on having a variety of products, I had 1 or 2 items that felt like a chore to use up, but if there were any more products than that, it would feel incredibly discouraging!
Katie Nichole Can't wait to sit down and watch your update! I have a lot of videos to catch up on since I've been visiting with family and dealing with being sick!
I just found this. I started my first project last weekend. Thank you for wonderful advice.
I think the best advice you gave is at 15:11...Yes! We wanna get that makeup out but the ultimate goal is USING it.
***** AMEN!
Love your makeup. This is a great video. Very detailed and great tips and advise.
LegendaryBeauty I appreciate it and glad you found info you can instantly use! I love being able to pass on great tips we can apply immediately!
Amber, what a doll! Thanks so much for this video!! Great information!
BrownEyedGirlCherise You bet! Hope it will make starting project pan less awkward!!!
This is such an encouraging helpful video! Thank you so much:)
Okay. You are amazing for sharing this. I know this is from years ago, but it's still relevant. Thank you, thank you! 🙏🏼
Thank you Mia! Info like that carries me through panning year after year because I know there is always more to be learned from taking a step back! I'm glad you can use it as another resource to look at your collection in a different way!
Just found your channel and want to say that this video has helped me tremendously! I love to buy make up but don't want to use my palettes just like you mentioned. I am so overwhelmed by all that I have and want to use it up. I have to say that I have been successful at walking away when my pockets are burning to make another make up purchase "to fit it" lol! Thank you for these tips and by the way....great name 😉😉😉😉
*to fit in
High fives, Amber! That's fantastic! It's never too late to jump in and pan!!!!!
Great video Amber!
Love this video! Thanks for making it!
***** You bet!
Hey you, greetings from Germany 😊 I'll have to subscribe and I'm really infected with this Panning-Spirit. ... I even considered to get into the pan that palette project! A year ago I was addicted to buying make up, all the limited editions screwed me up ... The drawer where I store my make up is full - so I shopped my stash, incredible! Thanks a lot for that
I have discovered I am good at sticking to lippies to use up, face makeup (blush, bronzer, foundation etc) but nail polish & eye shadow are hard for me XO Davita
Want a challenge? Check out Paige (ThriftyBeauty) to join "7 by Spring" (March 20) and Megan (megsmakeup8) for "Finish 5 by cinco de mayo!" Want something more ambitious? Join my "Pan that Palette!" Or try all three and move at minimum 12 products from your stash!!!!!!!
Amen to not forcing yourself. I absolutely despise the creme blush that I am panning. I managed to hit considerable pan (even got to side pan) I use it as lipstick, blush, and color correcting. But I am reaching the limit especially after finding out that Summer Fling by MUG has been discontinued and that's why I was panning it. 😭
You've done awesome so far with it! I get so sick of cream products that I do not purchase them anymore. For the longest time I bought potted lip products from Buxom, Clinique, and more because they looked so pretty but I would get tired of them so fast! I am proud of you for hitting side pan because that is AMAZING! I think a break is well deserved and then after a few weeks away from it maybe you will be inspired to pick it back up again because we will be well into summer and it will feel on trend.
Great tips!!! i'm starting a one brand project pan..im choosing from my MAC collection and 6 items so i can reward myself with a new lipstick without purchasing...since the holiday is over i have beyond what i need. i don't want this to be a race im going to enjoy the products and in cooperate them in my fotd/grwm videos..i'm glad i stumbled upon cherish's videos they have been helpful as well as yours. Thank you for the video hugs xx Jamie
Jamie Lyn Barton Love, love, love this idea. That's the concept I basically had with eyeshadow because the majority was Urban Decay and then 2015 will be Lorac. Anything to back to MAC will be so incredibly rewarding!!!! We are so thrilled to have you and wish you the best as you continue to meet more and more project panners!
Really good video, lots of good information and inspiration. So glad I found you when I did. You helped me realise that there is no point buying make up if you aren't going to use it. Looking forward to panning with you next year. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is brilliant. If you haven't been already, I think you should be interviewed by personal budgeting consultants. These principles could apply to any hobby or even to businesses as far as their R&D and expansion activities are managed. (Maybe you should write a book!)
Thank you so much for this video, very encouraging
thanks so much for this video. I've tried to do project pan before, but it never happened. this time, I'm actually doing pretty good.
awesome thanks so much! and just in time for when I'm planning my project pan :):)
CreativeLifestyle We got this!!!!
Ah I literally watched this video twice! haha. Thank you so much for putting this video up. This helps me so mush, as I am sure so many other people. I am more excited now then ever to start of this new year with new goals, ideas and making new friends and support systems through You Tube. Thank you, Amber!
Emily Runyan You bet, Emily!!!! Change begins one product at a time and one person making that choice at a time. The more and more people that join us- the more we'll change the culture of CZcams beauty into a welcoming community and effectively start changing the makeup industry to become better because we cut down the spending because we use our stuff down to the last swipe!
I would love to see that happen
THIS WAS SOOO HELPFUL THANK YOU! I think I will re-watch this when I am feeling weak. Thanks again, Happy New Year!
Mackenzie Green Happy New Year to you as well, Mackenzie!!!!! Best of luck with your panning- I am looking forward to your updates!!!!
I just posted images on my instagram (missmackenziegreen) I started last week and have used up several samples and a nail polish check out my status. Your video was so helpful. On makeup alley I have also been reading a 100 day no-buy forum. Right now I am planning on doing a no-buy unless I run out of something and have no alternatives (such as skincare).
Mackenzie Green LOVE! Thank you! I'm so inspired and encouraged because this no-buy is going to be so much easier knowing that you are also on board. We have such a fabulous group and we're all going to be in on this together. Will be following!!!!
Thanks for all the great information. I got a lot out of this video.
Just uploading my project pan now - gave you a mention in my details section
This is fabulous, best video ever! Learno so much and im going to put this on practice =)
Erika Maasberg Anything to help!!!!!
Thanks for this video! I want to do this because I want to clean out older products and clutter!
Melissa Wilson Come on over and have fun doing it! You'll be stunned at what you're capable of finishing! Welcome to the panning community!
I am excited to do all three!!! I will also do 15 in 15 by Monika The Diva where we pan 15 lip items through the year.
devin allmon I like that too! Good luck, Devin! 15 lip items- incredible! You have the momentum like Cherish! I have a hard time knocking out lip products that fast!!!!
Lips have always been my favorite. You wouldn't know looking at my stash at the moment because I actually had time to go to Ultra and find travel versions of the Full Exposure and the Pocket Pro then went nuts every other time.
Hi Amber! Would you consider doing a similar video on how to effectively shop your stash? I'm less than a year into project panning and I feel like you've got such great advice but shopping my stash, which so many protect panners seem to talk about, is one thing which I still struggle with. Thanks x
I was always too afraid to try repressing shadows .. my 1 year old just threw my blush palette, so I found your video, used a spray bottle and it worked out:)
I only heard about Project Pan a few days ago and got super intrigued. This video was a huge help, and I've decided to jump on board! I want to use up some older products I bought/was given before I really became interested in makeup, so that I can try some newer stuff without letting the old stuff go bad.
That's fantastic!!!!!!!!!! Welcome to the panning community!!!!!
Thanks! I'm very excited! :)
Awesome video and tips! You have really inspired me to do this...I think I might start with a palette that I wasn't totally crazy about since I (like you mentioned) don't want to pan palettes that I really like, hehe
Great video! I agree that we need to USE our makeup, haha. I realized how much I accumulated, and I'm relieved that realized it before spending more. I hardly have any high end stuff, but I have ALOT of drugstore stuff (that I got on clearance lol) that I want to use up. I made my makeup basket, and I am super excited to make progress this year.
I don't know if you made a video already, but I would love to know which products you grew to love/hate after using them for a long time. Thanks hun!
inalcanzable68 I too am a sucker for deals! Its so hard to pass up but its never too late to start panning!!!!! The biggest change panning for me was gold eyeshadow. I was livid to see I had so many pans of gold in all my palettes when I loathed wearing it. It was the reason I started on the naked palette because it was my oldest pan of gold and I wanted to prove to myself that I could at least hit pan. That loathing slowly turned to tolerating and then again to appreciating and now I consider it a staple in summer makeup. I don't like it the rest of the year but now I have a way to get through more pans and move them out. I changed opinions on "holy grail" essentials because I got completely sick of them after repurchasing backups because I was lured in by packaging and not the product. I really get down the the pros and cons of a product when I strip away the hype and the packaging. Using it everyday shows me exactly how it will react with my skin during any hormone phase I go through so I truly see how that brand performs for me. I am much more informed when I shop because I don't get sucked into the packaging anymore. I look at the products for what they are and how I use them when making those decisions now.
Great project pan intro video for the newbies like me. I'll be panning my Wet N Wild Comfort Zone eyeshadow palette & doing Thrifty Beauty's finish 7 by spring challenge. I'm hoping I can stick to a low buy since I'm trying to cut back my spending in general. It'll be a challenge since I'm constantly watching CZcams and I have a beauty channel myself.
Shari's Spot I know it!!!!!!!! We can do this! You can easily create so many gorgeous looks with that Comfort zone palette and that dupe for MAC club- I would love to see what you would do with a color like that!
Amber F We totally can do this.!! So looking forward to joining the project pan community. Which one in the Wet N Wild Comfort Zone palette is the MAC dupe (totally out of the loop on dupes for MAC eyeshadows I don't own any)?
Love you!😍❤️❤️❤️
Ruth Sanchez AWWWW; thanks Ruth!
So helpful x
I should update this video!
Hi Amber! I love love love your videos!
I am officially joining the Project Pan 2015 Party!
Coastal Scents is having their end of year 40% off sale and I just ordered 5 of their clear top empty palettes (the ones for 12 eyeshadows because their size is more practical to take it with you when you are on the go than the ones for 28...) If I want to place powders or bronzers I just pop off the insert and ta da! Waaaaay cheaper than Z palettes !! Just wanted to pass that around ;-)
sophieacapella Thanks for the heads up, Sophie!!!!
Ok I think I'm going to start project panning for sure. Thank you so much for this video! I had some questions and this helped so much. I will be sure to link this video in mine so that everyone can come see what it's all about.
I don't think I'm going to go for a no buy but rather a very limited buy. After all the declutters I do not want to fill my drawers back up!
Amen to that! You've worked so hard to de clutter but like anything in our lives-when you empty space you need to re channel and fill it with something healthy and positive or you eventually spiral out of control with even more than you started. Panning and connecting is that positive change to fill that space. Here's to new beginnings!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very true! I need to get my goals figured out exactly before the new year starts.
Hi Amber! You're such an inspiration!! I've been panning alone for ages...been hitting major walls this year and your videos are really helping me get through it so THANK YOU! Looking forward to your new videos!
Enchanted Crunchy BanAnna Anna, that is so absolutely thrilling to hear! Never have to feel alone on this panning venture again:) :) :)
Amber F Yay :)
Btw exited for finish 7 by spring!:-)
Me too! Thank you Paige (ThriftyBeauty) for starting it and Megan (megsmakeup8) is the original creator of 5 by cinco de mayo. Giving credit and positivity keeps us all encouraged!!!!!!!
Thanks for posting this! by this weekend I'm going to try to post a project pan video - fingers crossed, wish me luck :-)
I totally agree , my makeup collection is all thanks to watching youtube. And yes, if I hit pan on a makeup palette, it would drive me crazy!! but I am definitely inspired to start little by little, started by picking foundation, concealer and mascara today :D ........ my only issue is that I have a subscription box I'm in love with :( geez... I'm not ready to let it go :( any advice?
Hey Amber, I don't do videos or have much influence, but you do. Do you think it would be a good idea to use the "back to MAC" idea for a no/low buy? A sort of "back to ME" works similarly in that for every six full size products used, one may be purchased. This has worked for me in reducing my inventory and not depriving myself completely.
M. Wooley If that works for you then by all means, go for it! I will have back to MAC items as well because I will have to continue repurchasing Fix + (my no-buy only includes colorful items). If it takes the edge off and then you have the bonus of getting that lipstick or eyeshadow for free, then its a win-win for you. You still clean out your stash, you use products to the end and you are recuperating a little bit of the money you spend. There is no right or wrong way to project pan; you do what works for you and when you hit stumbling blocks, you try new tips till you hit your groove again:)
Hello, I'm a new subscriber. I found this video very helpful. I recently have started a new channel and also been going nuts with shopping. So I want to start a project pan to use up my older makeup I want to use. Any suggestions for me? Thank you again.
I seriously need to start shopping my stash instead of continually buying new makeup; I feel like I've got too much to choose from so I am getting overwhelmed. I'm in! Thanks for the great intro to Project Panning!
(P.S.) I'm strictly cruelty free; any other cruelty free project panners out there???
There are quite a few cruelty-free panners you can check out. Their entire collections aren't cruelty-free at this moment bc they are working towards it.
💜💜💜
Thank you!!! Maybe its time to update this video because I know I've learned a lot since then!
I just don't get the point I guess.
I understand reducing new purchases.. shopping your stash.. knowing what you have.. reducing duplicates.. purging..etc. I've even reduced certain areas of my collection to one HG item (bronzer, highlight, setting powder, brows) and just repurchase when I run out.
"Panning" or using one particular item until it is gone then moving to the next just makes no sense to me.. I'm hoping you can explain it because as popular as it is I must be missing something. Let's say I have three blushes (I don't, I have probably 40 but just to make it easy). If I wear one of them every day it will take me at least six months to a year to go through it, based on how long it takes me to use a bronzer (of which I only have one and I usually have to replace it every nine months or so). In that same amount of time the other two blushes get no use. So in the end it still takes me just as long to use those three blushes.. the only difference is I'm stuck using one color every single day (which may or may not coordinate with my other makeup or clothing choices). If I used all three of the blushes, rotating between them, they would be finished in the same amount of time yet I would have variety and options. In the case of cream products or anything that has a shorter expiration time it's even worse.. I would finish one, and have the other two go bad/dry out by the time I did or shortly thereafter meaning I would get no use out of them at all. Even if we increase the number of items it doesn't seem to make a difference.. if I have ten blushes and choose three to pan it will still take just as long to finish them all.. only seven of them will be sitting in a drawer untouched until I finish the first three. The last one would be sitting in that drawer for over six years (!). What happens when you do finish the item? You go right back out and replace it, defeating the entire purpose of using it up, or you never use it again (or at least not for the next several years.. if it's still available by then)? Then you have LE items.. if you blast through it and use it all up it's gone.. forever.. but if you rotate it with other items you could have it for years. Not trying to be difficult.. just trying to understand.
It seems to me consistent rotation is a much more logical approach. You are using as many of your products as possible, and they are all getting as much use as possible, until the time they are no longer usable.
I see where you're coming from and you can still call it "panning" even when you switch products all the time. Like I talked about, the ultimate goal is to get close to your ideal holy grail collection and be able to enjoy products before they expire bc unfortunately, that is a reality. None of it lasts forever and it's heartbreaking to put hard-earned money into these products to have them turn rancid bc we save them for a reason or we use them a few times but don't properly sanitize them so they start expiring faster. There's no right or wrong way to pan; it's about using and enjoying those products that you've invested in.
I think I should start this because my addiction on buying all this unnecessary makeup has gotten out of control
Its never too late to start! You can always begin with a handful of items that you love so you can ensure yourself some success and when that initial satisfaction kicks in you will want to take on a little more. When I first started project panning my goal wasn't a number but I gave myself a time frame of about 6mo. I knew I needed to move out makeup with an impending move and I also wasn't sure where to start. 6mo later from that start date I had a bath and body works paper sack filled with empties-I kept them all to show myself what I was capable of doing. Then when we moved I decided ok-lets see what I can do in a year and I haven't looked back! Give yourself some grace because you may still buy quite a bit of makeup especially in the early days-I certainly did. In time after panning different types of products you will get more of a general idea of your personal pace whether its eyeliner, a powder, an eyeshadow, a gloss etc and that will in itself steer how you will continue shopping. Its always a learning curve but even when you feel like you take a step backwards, you are still learning. I am still learning and I've been panning for years now!
i have a question, while i go through a lot of my makeup regularly, specially the last two years, i don't like eyeshadow palettes & i have A LOT. i bought the naked 1 & 2 when each first came out, i'm convinced to pan them & move them out my collection, but the half baked shade doesn't look good on me & i hate it, do i throw it out or what? cause its in both palettes & i barely used them (i love specific shades, when i am done with palettes i am sticking to individual shadows so i can pick what i like, i don't want to compromise having shades i'll never use for few shades i like)
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh girl! You and me both with the gold eye shadow;) In the beginning I forced myself to wear it and then as I got used to it I tolerated it and then it turned to love. Try panning half-baked from either in the summer and wear it with a bronze in your crease like smog or a dupe from another palette you want to incorporate. 1) your makeup is seasonally appropriate 2) you will enjoy it more when you're spending more time outside putting a little color on your skin. Gold is stunning with warm skin tones. Sam (rising water) layers greys like Lorac pro "slate" on top of gold to take the harshness out of both warm and cool and the result is stunning!
Great informative video. I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm doing a project
10 pan on Instagram (springrosesandspice). I am thinking of doing the finish 7 by spring. And also want to do the pan that palette challenge. I don't have the Lorac Pro and I haven't decided what other palette I might switch in. Anyway, I love this community!
bebebadkon I'd go with a palette that you often hear your favorite you tubers mention. Its a great place to start and something you know they will continue mentioning so it will keep it fresh and current for you:)
I'm going to do this. I want to plan my ABH MR palette and my too faced chocolate bar palette and my lorac pro.... too much?
Whew! You will be busy between those 3! It will be impossible to finish all three palettes in a year but what you can do is pick a few shades from each and then it gives you incentive to use all 3 but skip feeling overwhelmed!
Amber F Good idea! Cause I do have favorite shades from each palette that I'm sure I could pan. When those run out, I can start working on others. Can I ask you: When you finally hit pan on a favorite shade out of a palette... Are you tempted to go get that palette again? Also, if you run out of a whole palette (like you did with the Naked) do you immediately repurchase?
What lipstick are you wearing here? Its so pretty
***** Thank you Lucy-its been a go-to favorite for me lately! Its the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm Stain in "Shameless." Really, really intense deep purple but ohhhhhhh its just lovely to wear with a plum blush this time of year!
its so pretty, i picked that shade up the other day and thought it might be the same but just wanted to check. Thank you :)
***** Have fun with it! If its too intense for your liking you can easily tone it down with a lip balm first then use the balm stain:) I like both ways!
Where can we find your pinterest board? :)
Look up "Get Naked with Urban Decay" and then click boards. Mine will have over 400 pins. For some reason, I can't include a widget in the description box or link in a comment bc of brackets:/
Hey! Love ur channel, I've been following u on instagram for awhile and I decided to check out your channel! I'm debating on if I want to project pan on my urban decay naked 1 palette, but I think it's gone bad and has expired cause the eye shadow formula isn't the same nor is the color pay off as good. The eyeshadows almost seem like cheap, low quality eyeshadow nw. I've had the palette since January of 2012.. do u think it has gone bad?
Holly Marie It all depends on how you stored the eyeshadow if its bad. Remember that the naked palette formula in your palette is going to feel much different because UD changed the formula with the release of their 15th Anniversary palette. The payoff also changed with the new formula. I had no issues with mine but I make sure to regularly sanitize my palettes with a spritz of alcohol and keep them stored in a dark, cool drawer when not in use so they are fairly protected from breaking down. I purchased my palette in 2010 and had 0 problems panning it last year so you might try it to get reused to the formula or try scraping off the "hard pan" on the top to reveal the softer shadow below. Let me know how it goes and I hope you jump into the challenge with your Naked Palette or any other palette you love from your collection!
When you sanitize your palettes with alcohol, do u spray the eyeshadows? I will try scrapping off the hard pan as well. Thanks for your help!! :)
Yes. Just get a little travel spray bottle and you can get the big bottles of isopropyl alcohol. It doesn't matter if its 70% or 90% because that's just drying time. I sprit across the palette a few times and leave it open a few minutes so the shadows don't smell like alcohol. Let me know how it goes!
Okay! I'm definitely am going to start doing that. Thanks again!
You bet!
Participated in Finish 6 by Christmas and was so close to finishing all my items. Rolled them into my first Project 10 Pan with a few other items. Excited to see progress! Posting about it on my blog (lovetobebusy.blogspot.com). Thank you for continued inspiration and tips for success!
Heather Miller That is wonderful, Heather! I hope you will continue joining us in more panning challenges!!!
I have a problem with buying lipsticks, stains, glosses (you get the idea) and then only using them once or twice before going back to plain old chapstick for everyday wear (what the hell??there are no answers) I have so many lip products and most of them are almost the exact same shade - I'm awful!
I completely understand!!!!!! Been there! Years ago I was in a major rut buying the same pinky-brown mauve over and over! It is cracking me up that very color is the color of the year now. While I don't have those lipsticks from years ago anymore, I still realized I've got quite a few of that shade so I'm looking at the positive-I will have a very informative shop that stash with loads of options:) You know? There is an answer to your lipstick conundrum! Catch two birds with one stone! You love lip balm so apply it and then use your lipstick on top for the sheer look you crave and then you whittle down both products together. Take it up a notch on lipstick days and pop the gloss in the center of your lips for a pouty look and voila! Lip balm is easy and I can see you're reaching for it bc it's cold, you get the protection and it's no muss, no fuss. So make the tint from your lipstick and you can change it up when you feel like it!
Amber F yay great idea! thanks I will start trying that because I have decided no buying more lip stuff until I have used up at least 5 (no, chapstick will not count LOL)
I'm project panning for the first time! I'm doing the spring and cinco de mayo challenges. This is my blog post on the items I've selected and my parameters: kellsdiynails.blogspot.com/2014/12/update-tax-season-2015-and-project-pan.html
Kelly Tomlinson Beautiful items, Kelly! The "Spice Blush" and the Too Faced Berry will be perfect for you to be on trend with the color of the year, Marsala and feel very fresh with a neutral eye. Easy for work with minimal effort! Would love to hear what you think about the lush carrot soap when you're done because that caught my attention as something fun to try!
Do you have an instagram? I tried to find you on there.
Caitlin Jones Yes. My Instagram is beudmama.
Love the idea, but why is it such a big deal??
Mikayla Anne LOL. I know right?? It started off as a simple tag back when everyone was just buying obscene amounts of makeup. Its a big deal now because so many of us have collections that have blown out of control to the point that things are expiring or we're literally spending the money to turn it around and trash it or pass it on from never getting to it. Project pan offers a little balance to the hype of getting invested in all the hauls:)
Guys, I wrote all about my Project Pan challenge on my blog missfactually.wordpress.com/2015/02/24/project-pan-original/ . Go have a read? xo
