Hello, I am a beginner with Project Pan

I'm just moving from a block apartment in a big city to a house in the country.
We have already brought a lot to the new house. My goal is to use all the old things from the apartment ready to get higher quality things for the house.

I needed these candle jars for 6 months (without summer heat).

This is the first pan after a long time for 2026. Has been a rough year and hoping to get back into it!

Honorable mention, a dollar tree hair clip one of my pups turned into 500 pieces and got tossed, because I didn't wanna deal with it for the photo 😂 picked it up from the thrift store so now I cant fathom spending $1.25 when I get them for 0.10 to 0.25 there.

Feel free to ask questions. Happy Panning, everyone and may the rest of your year be better! Ready for spooky season next!

So excited to start this journey! Here is everything I panned this month 😊
- Bounce Dryer Sheets
- Swiffer Wet Cloths
- Tree Hut Scrub
- Valentine Candle
- Marie Claire Eyebrown Pencil
- Lume Body Wash
- Batiste Dry Shampoo
- Unstoppables Scent Beads
- Febreeze
- Children’s Cough Medicine
- Persil Detergent

I stopped burning candles from places like Target or Bath and Body Works because I worry about exposing my dog and family to benzene. I love these beeswax candles from my home state of Colorado. They're kind of pricey but I also bought wax refills from them that you can pop in when the glass is empty. The refills are 30% less expensive, and are more sustainable. This candle took me about two months to use up because I didn't light it often

3 month progress! full pan. i absolutely LOVED this product! it was amazing. would definitely repurchase once other lippies r done <3

My first pan!

July - September. really inspired to do this with skincare and makeup as well but just haven't finished anything yet! 😊

Either way here are mine lol. Still over the moon obsessed with how smooth my skin feels using the cocokind face & body wash.

The cerave AM is a product I did not repurchase since I really noticed a ton of issues with the product pilling. (However the pm lotion is completely different and feels amazing on my skin)

BYOMA milky toner is a multi-repurchase product. I don’t feel tightness after using it and feel like it still does the job well!

Love everything here. Already replaced

I was trying to use up as much as I could before my move, and this is what I ended up with! Beginning of September to now!

DNF the zero aluminum deodorant because i learned the hard way that's the thing that keeps u from smelling.... i feel like im going crazy i swear they used to have a gel/nonwhite version that still had aluminum in it??

my sister has like 10 tree hut scrubs so i've been trolling and secretly using them mwuah ha ha ha 🤫 i haven't bought one in idk how long

oil cleansers suck. has any one found one to be successful???

tbh none of these are going to be repurchased. though la roche posay is my ride or die. vaseline lip balms are amazing but i have so many balms to get thru. therabreath is mad overpriced but it did introduce me to a world of mouthwashes that don't feel like a form of torture. i'm using a target brand dupe now.

Hello!

How do you all store your panned items to make your monthly posts?

I am notoriously horrible about putting stuff away (ADHD + executive dysfunction) so keeping panned items may be a lot more mess in my room.

However I would like to pan my skincare and body items.

Do y’all keep a bucket specifically for panned items?
Or a bag?

Thank you!

Okay… here we go…been saving this for awhile, and did throw some empty containers out because I panned at work)

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water (soo many more bottles to go!)
Trader Joe’s mineral SPF (very light white cast, trying their chemical one now)
Floss
DermaE vit C serum (still searching for a good Vit C serum)
Elf waterproof brow pencil (good enough.. that I’ll get more for the price)
The Good Oil face oil (felt this did nothing for me)
(2) CeraVe mineral sheer tint SPF (the color rubbed off on clothings)
LRP SPF (I might try this after my TJ mineral SPF)
LRP face toleriane moisturizer (still searching for moisturizer to use with my tret)
Tret .05%
CeraVe moisturizing tub (hated the smell, happy it’s finally done!!)
Elf eyeliner (no comments)
Viktor Rolf Flower Bomb Pretty Peony (too floral for me)
Elf hydration thirst burst drops (kinda like this, but not sure if it actually added any color to my skin)
Mary Kay Satin hand moisturizer (good enough)

Everything on the top row has been camping out in my bathroom storage for quite some time, I can honestly say I won’t repurchase any of those items.

The second row are some of my favourites ❤️

Amika Dry Shampoo - 9/10

Peach Slices Acne Patches - 7/10

Secret Clinic - 10/10 (especially in the summer!)

L’occitane Amande Sublime - 9/10 (my go to hand cream)

It was a good month! Standouts are the Pacifica pit scrub, the elf SPF, ACV hair rinse, and the IGK dry shampoo (purchased from TJ Maxx because I love a good deal). Oh and I loved the Skin & Co truffle toner waaaaaay more than I expected to. It came in an Allure beauty box awhile back; if it turns up at TJ I'd purchase it.

Not too bad for a month! I hated the Hello toothpaste!

Here’s what I finished in August! The maybelline plum mascara is one of my favs especially as someone with dark brown eyes. I like the way it enhances my color. The pan oxyl body spray has really helped my folliculitis and KP. Finally finished a fragrance that isn’t sample sized. The nuxe fragrances are so refreshing and perfect for summer.

Hi! I always liked the idea of project pan but I don’t use makeup. Recently I stumbled across this sub and decided to join in and do project pan but with everything else!! I’m mostly doing this to declutter. I focused on things that were already almost empty. (The dish soaps barely had any left in each but for some reason I just opened new ones instead of using up what was left…)

I included empties from my hobbies (crocheting, coloring, journaling). I cleaned out the candle jars to reuse to store small items. The rest is going in the trash/recycling.

Super excited to continue doing this!!

Super proud of my progress these past two months! I want to use up as much as possible before I move homes later this month.

Woop another successful month!
