What is project 10 pan? Project 10 pan is a common project that bloggers do when they realise they have far too many products and not enough pennies. The general rule is that you are not allowed to purchase any new products until you have "hit the pan" of ten of them.
My twist on things: I have far more than ten products that I need to get finished so instead I'm going to make it that every product I finish I put £10 into a little piggy bank. I cant open this piggy bank until every item is finished (cute little way to introduce me to saving eh?!). I'm separating the products into three categories and once I have finished the last one from them I can then repurchase either my favourite product from that category or a new one that I wish to try.
The first category that I need to cleanse is fake tan. I have ELEVEN bottles of the stuff. Granted that the gradual tanning lotions get used up quite quick and I only have two proper instant tanners I've been convincing myself that its not that bad. When Ive finished with these I want to only have only one bottle of gradual tanning lotion, a bottle of St Moriz mousse or a similar product and one instant tan, for tanning emergencies!
The second category is lip balms. I don't have a massive amount of them but I do loose a ridiculous amount of them and as the mother says 'it all adds up!' Id like to be able to finish these ones without having to go out and replace them. I also have a broken Dior lipstick that I keep dreaming of putting in one of the pots!
The last category of products is perfume. I have a total of twenty two perfumes that are sitting around my room. Its accumulated through Christmas and birthdays but instead of using them I go out and buy other ones! Id like to finish these and at the end of the project have two scents. A day to day one and one for when Im going out or want to smell all special.
So in total I have thirty eight products that I want to finish. When Each category is finished I'm allowed to replace them but until all thirty eight products I cant get into the little piggy bank. I wonder what I'll spend the £380 on. I'm sure Ill have a while to decide!



Wow, that's a lot! I'm also on a project "x" pan with a twist. I don't have a specific number of products to use up but I really try to use up products that are already open before opening new ones. Yes that's hard but really motivating, especially when I post my monthly empties post x
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely idea! I'd never heard of it before, and don't think I'm quite ready to try it out! But good for you Miss!
ReplyDeleteAnd 22 bottles of perfume?! I think you must have one for every single possible mood/occasion!
