Project Pan Finale!

FINALE 

This was my first attempt ever at a project pan, and I think I was very successful. I managed to completely finish 26 products, and hit my goal on an additional 5 products. There were unfortunately 5 products that got rolled out of the project uncompleted, but I'm still very happy with all the progress I made! The products I "gave up" on and rolled out early were my Colourpop Lippie Stix in Candy Paint, NYX Wonder Pencil in Light, Urban Decay x Kristen Leanne Vice Lipstick in Bun Bun, Colourpop Yes Please Palette (shade: Bling), and Colourpop Super Shock Cheek in Flexitarian. These items got rolled out, for the most part, because I didn't have the motivation to use them. 

I can't believe I was able to finish/hit goal on so many items, when I started this project everyone was posting their 18 in 2018 intros and I thought there was no way I could finish 18 products, but here we are. When I started this project I didn't really have a clear idea of what I should be choosing to use up, so I basically picked items I was gravitating towards at that point in time, I definitely made some mistakes, but it just made it a good learning experience. The goals I set at the start of the year were use up old products, and hit pan on an eye shadow or other powder product.
I managed to use up the oldest foundation, oldest primer, and two oldest lipsticks in my collection, as well as completely finishing a face powder, hitting pan on three eye shadows, and two highlighters - and that's not counting the pan I hit outside of this project. It's definitely been a successful year for me, although the project has not stopped me from purchasing new products - but that's okay!

So, for the finale I thought I would recap all the products I managed to finish or hit my goal on this year!

I don't think I'll be doing another project pan next year, at least not a year long project anyway. I will be continuing with my Roulette Pan and Lip Project for now, but otherwise taking a little break. I'm really excited to be able to use my collection freely for a bit as I feel like I've neglected some products over the year.
