I've decided to start my very first Project Pan, consisting of a hodgepodge of products I want to have finished by the end of the year. Some of these products just seem to sit around, nearly finished, but for an annoying 10 or so percent, so that I can't throw them out. Some are past their expiry date (oops!) and others I just want to use up so I can start other things. Let's have a look at the products.....
1 The Body Shop Watermelon Lip Balm
I bought this back in May at the Pre-Mother's Day Pamper Night and I seriously love it. It's nearly finished and I know I can use it up pretty soon. I won't re-purchase because I have a lot of other lip balms to get through!
2 Chi Chi Coconut & Lime Perfume
This is part of a gift set of colourful perfumes I won in a Giveaway on Kats Colourings blog a while back, and it's just the most delicious, Summery, tropical fragrance. But instead of spritzing Blueberry one day, Tutti Frutti the next, then Coconut & Lime every Sunday, I'm going to concentrate on getting this one finished! I don't think it will be too difficult.
3 MAC Amplified Lipstick in Craving
I don't know why I can't get into MAC lippies like a lot of other beauty lovers? I think I just haven't bought one I love yet. Anyway, this has maybe a quarter left in the bullet and I'm probably going to have to use it every day, but I'd love to finish this by the end of December.
4 NIP + FAB Glycolic Fix Night Pads Extreme
I quite like these night pads, but I think it's because I'm lazy and often use them to remove my makeup instead of doing a proper cleanse. I like the smell of them and I'd probably re-purchase if they were on sale. I have about 20 pads left, and even though I don't use these every night, I think I can finish the container.
5 Skin B5 Acne Control Moisturiser*
I was gifted this to review back in March (you can read my Review of the Skin B5 range here) and I use it predominantly around my jawline where I'm susceptible to hormonal breakouts. I've been trialling the ASAP skincare range during the day, but using this one at night so it can work while I sleep. I feel like it's nearly finished, so I'd love to have another item to declutter. It is really effective though!
6 Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel*
This is a big bottle from last year, and the expiry date was September this year! It's still fine though, and you may have seen me use a lot of it to make a Snow Fairy bubblebath recently (on Instagram - not in person, that would be weird and disturbing). A few more bubblebaths and I reckon this will be done!
7 Lush Santa's Belly Shower Jelly*
I was sent this as part of last year's Lush Christmas range and I think I used half of it then it got lost during my bathroom renovation. It expired on the 7th of November (so a couple of weeks ago), but it's still good. I have about half to three quarters left to go, and have been using it in every shower. These Lush jellies take ages to use up, but I'll give it a red hot go!
8 Lush Happy Hippy Shower Gel
I bought this in a gift pack, stored it in the cupboard and when I went to get it, it had leaked! Anyway Happy Hippy is my equal fave shower gel with Lush Rose Jam, and I reckon there's only one or two uses left in the bottle, so this should be no problem.
9 Oh Deer Sugar Rose & Passionfruit Shower Moose
I've been putting off using the last bit of this because I love it so much and don't want to see it go! It smells amazing and the formula is beautiful. It made my September Favourites and I think I can use this up in one generous go. I love it to death but won't re-purchase right now, as I have a lot of shower gels to get through!
10 Oh Deer Sugar Fruit Tingle Body Scrub
To be honest I just want this gone. I don't really like the harsh formula, and much prefer the Oh Deer Sugar Mango Sorbet Soda Pop Body Scrub that foams up and is gentler, but I'm not allowing myself to use any more of it until I've finished this scrub. I like the sweet fragrance, it's just a bit too 'scrubby' for me, and that's saying something!

Have you done a Project Pan? Link it up below, I'd love to have a read!
Wow, we've got a bit of work to get through our Jelly Belly hahaha! Great that it lasts so long though.
ReplyDeleteHaha, yes, they are pretty indestructible too! I've dropped mine from up high and it stays in one piece LOL!
DeleteIt's great you can still use and you're confident you'll be able to finish up the Lush products even though they have expired. I don't always get around to using things up within a normal timeframe as I use so little products in general!
ReplyDeleteGood luck finishing everything you've planned to! :)
Thanks Mica! Yeah I'm doing the project pan so it forces me to finish these. Thankfully the Lush is still good to go! :)
DeleteWhat fun that looks..enjoy the pampering as you go. Thanks for sharing and linking up. Denyse. #lifethisweek
ReplyDeleteI love me a bit o' pampering! Thanks for the linkie Denyse :)
DeleteI'm in the process of using up some of my many moisturisers and shampoos and conditioners. I'm not allowing myself to buy any more until I need to but your project looks a lot more fun and decadent!
ReplyDeleteI've got a ton of shampoo and conditioner to get through, too. Might put those in the next project pan. Good luck with getting through yours!
DeleteYou must smell divine each evening after using a selection of these lovely bath and shower products!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your project pan!
Ingrid
Thanks Ingrid! :)
DeleteIt wouldnt even be a struggle for me to end snow fairy! it is amazing and smells soooo good! need to get me a few bottles this winter :D
ReplyDeletePam xo/ Pam Scalfi♥
It is pretty delightful! xx
DeleteLots of yummy smelling things in here! I've only ever done a Project Pan with polish & we all know how that turned out lol. I'm pretty good at using up other products, but I'm thinking about doing a pan of sorts with perfume some time down the track. I'm accumulating too many of them!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Mine is such a jumble of products but I did think of doing it in categories. Oh well!
DeleteThe body shop watermelon lip balm sounds interesting. If it really smells like watermelon I would love it no matter what. :D :D
ReplyDeleteAnyway, great job with the products. :)
Michelle Morchella
Thanks Michelle! Yeah the watermelon lip balm is really nice :)
DeleteAll these products look divine. What a wonderful pampering November and December you are going to have. I seriously have to get my hands on some Lush!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alicia! It's going to be fun :)
DeleteI'm almost done with my skinb5 moisturiser too, I really like the light weight feel :)
ReplyDeleteMe too! The formula is wonderful :)
DeleteI need to do one of these, but I feel a month isn't enough time to use up the items I want to get rid of, maybe I'll start in January and give myself 6 months! Good luck on getting through all of these! Xx

Thanks Kez! Yeah I've chosen products that are nearly finished so hopefully I go OK. Good luck with your January one!
DeleteLol Di I try NOT to finish my Chi Chi purse sprays, because then I have to go and buy a big bottle and decant it into an atomiser. All these delicious sounding shower gels and scrubs have me hankering after some new Summer bathrooom scents, the rose & passionfruit one especially xxx
ReplyDeleteHaha! I've got lots of big bottles of perfume, Kat, so I thought I'd start going through my perfume by using up the mini ones first as it won't take me as long! xxx
DeleteI love the snow fairy shower gel ! Amazing !
