Project Ten Pan is a challenge in which you have to completely use up 10 makeup or beauty products you already own before you are allowed to buy any new ones. The idea originally came from Laura, "Lollipop26", on Youtube. Since she embarked on her first Project Ten Pan mission more than a year ago, it has become a huge hit.
Project Ten Pan has several major benefits. First, it is a huge money-saver: It usually takes at least a month or two to complete, and when you're used to buying makeup frequently, the dollars really add up when you stop shopping for a couple of months. Second, it allows you to rediscover products you fell in love with when you first bought them, but that slowly made their way to the back of your drawers over time. For example, say you use up your Go-To blush during Project Ten Pan - you're then forced to pull out other blushes you might not have used in a while; usually, you wind up remembering how much you love some of those blushes.
Basically, you and your wallet end up happy :)
So, to get to the point: I have finally decided to take up the Project Ten Pan challenge. Usually this happens around the time you come to the realization that you have way, way more beauty products then you could ever possibly need. Sadly, this point has come and gone for me. What can I say: it's called an addiction for a reason, right?
Anyways, Project Ten Pan is now well-underway. I started this past Wednesday, so it’s been four days so far. However, I'm happy to report that I have already used up two items!
1. The first was a Studio Sculpt Concealer from MAC. I scraped out the last smidgens on Friday morning, and the tub is now sitting atop my makeup cabinet waiting to be Back-To-Mac'd.
I’ll keep you all updated on Project Ten Pan, and in the mean time (since I won't be buying any new products) I'll probably put up some reviews of things I already own as I’m rediscovering the stuff I used to love!
xoxo
stay sunny!
