Go For The Goal - Project Pan Intro


For 2020, I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and try to do a year-long project pan. If you've read my previous "yearly goal" type posts, you'll know that I tend to do pretty much anything other than what I say I'll do in my goals post. So I'm going to ease into it. I recently joined the Pantastic Ladies Collab group on Facebook, and they're doing a "Go for the Goal" project pan this year. Here's the official description:

This project is solely to reach a predetermined goal for any product in your collection. Start with 4-6 products and once you hit goal on that item, roll it out and roll in a new item to work on. This is designed to make progress on your progress without the stress of trying to finish anything. You can mark the halfway/quarter/etc point and work towards that goal or whatever goal works best for you. This is a way to rotate through all of your products and give them all the love they deserve.

I'm starting with 5 products. My goal is to keep this to mostly makeup products. I've done a pretty good job of paring down my skincare backups, so I should be able to have empties from natural use. There may be a perfume here or there, we'll see.


  1. Mac Fix+ mini - This wasn't originally a product I liked, but the fine sprayer on it has really grown on me! My goal is to finish this completely - I currently have about 25% left.

2. NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer (light 2, vanilla) - I feel like I'm really close to the end of this because not a whole lot comes out on the wand when I apply it. I have very limited faith in my ability to remove the stopper, so this may be finished soon.

3. Beauty by Popsugar lipgloss mini (Be the Boss) - I got this as a free gift with purchase at Ulta, and it's super tiny. It's a somewhat opaque dark pink gloss, and I've been applying it at work. Hopefully I'll be able to finish this by the next update.

4. Laura Mercier Matte Radiance baked powder (Highlight 01) - This is a mini size I got in a 500-point set from Sephora. It's a baked highlighter that looks really pretty on my skin, but I haven't reached for it enough. My goal is to hit pan, and I have no idea how long that will take.

5. Rimmel lip liner (Wild Clover) - My gosh, this has been in so many projects. It's my oldest lipliner, and it's time for it to go. I've been applying all over my lips, which might be cheating (I'm sure my now-neglected lipsticks think so at least). Based on past progress, this may take me all year, but I hope that won't be the case.


Next official update will be at the end of January/beginning of February.

December 2018 Empties

Y'all. This month looks pitiful compared to past months. I suspect it's because I've mainly been using full-sized skincare so I'm not blazing through as much as I have been. ~ It cosmetics secret sauce moisturizer sample - was a little too much for my oily skin. would not repurchase. ~ Mario Badescu herbal rehydrating serum sample set - this was a gel moisturizer, so it's no surprise that I liked this one. Might try it again in the future, but I have a lot of moisturizer to go through first. ~ 2 Sephora samples of Commodity Gold perfume - this is a warm, sweet scent that I really enjoy and I currently have a travel-size spray. ~ Living Proof perfect hair day shampoo - if you remember when I finished the conditioner, you'll recall that I hated this pair of shampoo and conditioner and I used it up as a shaving cream. Would not repurchase. ~ Estee Lauder sumptuous infinite mascara - this has a plastic bristle brush, which I normally don't like, but

Pan that Palette March Update

So last month my goals were to hit pan on "5th Ave" and "Marina" and I did not meet them. I did, however, hit pan on "NYC" and I'm happy to have something to show for my time with this thing. Since I used mostly "Marina" and "Paris" I think  I have bigger dips in them, but it's hard to say for sure. Anyway, here's a picture: For this next month's goals, I'm going big - I want to hit pan on "Marina," "Paris," and "5th Ave." Again, we'll see. I'm still working away at "Lula" since I use it in the crease, but it doesn't take very much to do what I need it to do.

Finish 5 by Fall - finale

I know this was a short project, but here are my results! 1) Bobbi Brown "Babe" has lived in my purse this month. I think I applied it a few times, but I did pitifully on this product. I ended up being more drawn to my Buxom VaVa Plump in "wine me" which is a dark pink/berry and that should be done in a few days. So some  lip product progress, but not as much as intended. Not enough progress to show a picture. Also I forgot what purse I put it in. Oops. 2) Becca SSP pressed "Moonstone" - I can see the pan, but that might be due more to air bubbles from repressing rather than true progress. 3) ABH Master Palette by Mario, "Lula" - still no pan. I'm going to keep using it as part of my Pan that Palette, so stay tuned. 4) finish "cream" from the original Lorac Pro - complete! I can't reach the little bits in the corners with my brush anymore, and I can't be bothered to repress that little for a second time. 5)
