This is my first update on my 2018 Project Pan! I have so much skincare in my stash, that I decided to focus on it for the first quarter of the year.I figured if I set a goal, I can use up some of my skincare and make room for more! And, by making a point to use my skincare each day, my skin has been looking much better!
Here is the original products in my project pan:
These are my original 10 products. You read what they are in my beginning post here.
These are the products that I used up. You can see there is a new one, the Ofra Peptide Silk-C Serum. I included it once I finished the YourGoodSkin and the NeoCutis serums. But I used it up, too!
These are the current products that I’m trying to pan. The five products on the left are the ones I have been using since the beginning of January. I’ve made good progress on them. The spray is almost empty, and they others have much less product in them.
*I just realized that my Purity Made Simple face wash is missing from this photo. LOL! It’s in my shower. I am still working on it and hope to have it panned soon.
The four products on the right are new to the pan:
They are: Pur Blue Agave Mask, NeoCutis Micro Night Riche Rejuvenating Balm, Manuka Doctor Face Oil 24K Gold and Jane Iredale D2O Hyrdration Spray. I’d say everything is about half used up, but the spray has only been used a couple of times. I’ve included a mask that I loved when I got it last year, but I forgot about it. It’s really fun to use, it dries down blue on the face and peels off.
I was going to continue my pan until the end of March, but I think my products all may be used up by the end of February. I will do an update at that time and we will see! It does feel really good to get rid of some of my vast array of skincare!
I am already planning the next pan. I’m going to include at least one hair styling product and maybe a foundation and concealer. I really have not used any powder makeup so that it’s even close to be panned (I have so much), but who knows, maybe a finishing powder will be in the mix!
Are you doing any project pan’s this year? Leave a comment and let me know!
It was so cold in Kansas City last week, one day it was -5! But it has warmed up and was in the 40’s today. It felt balmy!
This week I have been loving a French no-rinse cleanser and products to help my hair stay smooth in the cold winter air:
Collosol Eau de Lait
Collosol Eau de Lait ($18 USD) — A moisturizing milk/micellar water hybrid, this thorough but gentle cleanser can be applied with a cotton pad to remove makeup, moisturize and soothe stinging skin. No rinsing with water is required—a good thing since the limestone in tap water can be irritating to parched, wind-shipped skin. The universal formula is also suited to all skin types, from sensitive to dry to oily/acne-prone.
What I think: First, this is really fragrant. It’s floral like gardenias or jasmine, I can’t put my finger on the scent. It’s nice, though. It’s a milky liquid, and I apply with to a cotton pad. IT removes makeup very well and leaves my face so soft. You can also add it to bath water to soften skin. I haven’t tried it yet, but I might tomorrow after my workout.
A French skincare classic created in Paris in the 1950s, Collosol Eau de Lait can now be found in the U.S. at smallflower.com
John Frieda Hair Care Frizz Ease Collection($6.99 each) — Check out the newstatement making look for John Frieda Hair Care’s classic Frizz Ease collection. The iconic purple that has accented the products for years will now be the primary focus, making this collection of frizz-fighters bolder and brighter than ever. My favorites from the collection are:
Secret Weapon Touch-Up Crème (3rd from left in photo) — This versatile smoothing cream, applied to dry strands, instantly transforms puffy, parched style. Creates a supple, shiny finish and silky touch. For use on flyaways, static frizz, and split ends. This is perfect for the cold weather, my hair gets flyaways and this smooths them right out.
Air Dry Waves Styling Foam (4th from left) — Get defined curls without the need for heated styling tools. Infused with moringa oil and a unique blend of polymers, this featherweight curly hair styler helps control frizz for perfectly smooth waves and curls. Non-sticky foam dries quickly, creating a flexible film that cleverly stretches as curl bundles expand while drying, keeping the curl intact. My hair dries wavy, so I love to use this to define my curls while my hair dries.
Extra Strength 6 Effects+ Serum (2nd from right) — Expertly formulated with a unique blend of silicones. Protect each dehydrated strand against the onset of frizz. Boosts shine. With silk proteins and algae extract, this frizzy hair serum smoothes for more manageable and lustrous results, and provides heat protection. I apply this to soaking wet hair everywhere but my roots. When my hair dries, its soft and smooth.

Welcome to my first Project Pan! I’ve decided to focus on skincare, since I haven’t been great about removing makeup and using my skincare at night. So, I figured if I set a goal, I can use up some of my skincare and make room for more! Plus my skin will look better, too.
I went through my skincare basket, where I had about 30 products (!) Here are the products I’m trying to use up:
I’ve chosen a variety of 10 products. They are all about half full, so I should be able to get through them in 3 months. By the end of March, these should all be empty. I do receive lots of skincare to try, so hopefully I won’t get sidetracked too much by new items!
These are my smaller size products that I have been working on for a while. They are all about half used, except for the Josie Maran Light Argan Oil and the Mailin + Goetz Revitalizing eye cream. They both have about a third of the product left, but I have been working on the eye cream for months and I totally forgot about the argan oil! Time to use them up.
The other products are Philosophy Purity Made Simple cleanser, L’Occitane Immortelle Essential Water and Prai Ageless Eye Tight Uplift Serum. I’m pretty sure all of these will be used up in 3 months.
These full sized products are all at least half full, if not more. These will take the longest to use.
The first two are the luxe Neocutis Micro Serum which I always forget I have and the Micro Firm Neck cream. I always forget about the serum and think I have only used it a few times. I use the neck cream a few times a week, but I want to use it twice a day.
The next two are from the more affordable YourGoodSkin line. They are the Balancing Skin Concentrate which I have used quite a bit and the SPF 30 Day Cream which I try to use every day. I think I can use these up in a month or two!
Last is the Dear by Renee Youth Soothing Creme. This is a good size bottle at 1.7 oz and is fairly full so it may take a while to use. I usually only use it at night, so I might have to double up on some of these! My skin should look amazing when I’m all done.
If this works well, I’ll do a second one starting in April and maybe include some makeup. I have a LOT of makeup and haven’t seen pan on any of them, so we’ll see. I also have a lot of new eye shadow palettes that I need to review and start wearing more. I usually just go into the office on Thursdays, so I don’t wear makeup a lot. I guess I’m saying that wearing more makeup is a New Year’s Resolution. LOL!
Have you done a Project Pan before? How did it go?
Here are the product descriptions from the website:
Anti-Wrinkle Cleanser — Wash away dirt, oil, and impurities for a fresh, healthy complexion with this naturally exfoliating formula. Vitamin A, commonly referred to as the “skin vitamin”, is best known for its cellular renewal properties. Glycolic Acid, Marine Plant Extracts and Papaya thoroughly clean skin and encourage mild exfoliation.
Anti-Wrinkle Scrub — Exfoliate away dull, lifeless surface cells and cleanse away impurities with this pro-grade refining scrub formula. With skin-renewing Vitamin A, purifying Marine Plant Extracts, sloughing Glycolic Acid, Apricot Seed Powder and Papaya, this formula reveals a healthy, smooth, younger-looking complexion.
Both products are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, mineral oil-free, lanolin-free, gluten free, GMO-free.
The first thing I always notice in skincare is the scent (or lack of it). The scent of these are mildly unpleasant to me. It kind of reminds me of old time paste (glue)! It’s probably the combo of the natural ingredients. The products themselves work really well!
The Cleanser is clear and suds up a bit when washing. It leaves my skin super clean and smooth. The scrub is amazing. It’s creamy, but has bits of something in there that really exfoliates so well! When I rub it in, it foams as it exfoliates so it’s hydrating along with cleaning my pores and removing the gunk. I like to use it once or twice a week and the cleanser every day. The combo really smooths my skin and prepares it for makeup.
Thumbs up for both products, they are affordable and work very well!
As we inch toward Christmas, I have been trying products that help me look and feel better during the hectic season!
They include a luxe primer and setting spray, cruelty-free makeup that makes you look glowy, luxe skincare, a fun steam mask and hair care that will help with dry, winter hair:

Elcie Cosmetics Hydra Enhancer Setting Mist ($35 USD) — An innovative hydrating and setting mist that balances the complexion, sets makeup and refreshes the skin. This alkaline facial water is an antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals. It has smaller molecules than tap water, so it absorbs more easily into your skin giving you maximum hydration with a quicker effect, while holding your makeup in place all day. Suitable for all skin types.
What I think: I love the packaging of these products. They are very luxe! The primer smoothes skin for makeup and leaves a soft glow. It so nice under foundation, or on it’s own for a bit of polish. The mist is so refreshing! It’s a soft mist and instantly hydrates and sinks into the skin. It holds my makeup in place all day!

What I think: This little kit comes in a cute bag! The cleanser is so nice, it comes in a handy pump despenser and has a refreshing citrus scent. It leaves my skin clean, but hydrated, too. The night cream is not greasy at all, it actually hass a bit of a matte finish, which is interesting for a night cream. In the morning, my skin looks amazing!

I tell you, the cold air is killing my skin! It is so tight and dry. And my makeup seems to stay in my pores.
So I was so glad to be sent the following skin care that helps exfoliate and clean the gunk out of my pores:
Snow Fox Arctic Breeze Detox Mask
Snow Fox Arctic Breeze Detox Mask ($30 USD) — A powerful mask that moisturizes, brightens and evens out skin tone while tightening pores. Essential oils work to extract impurities from deep within the skin. Key ingredients including Peppermint Oil Extract, Aloe Vera Leaf and 100% Organic Cotton Sheet.

What I think: I think this is the first sheet mask I’ve used that smells like peppermint. I have sensitive skin so I was afraid it might irritate it. When using it, it did cool and tingle on my skin. I left on for about 15 minutes or so. I removed it and rinsed my face, per the instructions. My face was so smooth and soft afterwards! It did irritate parts of my face a little bit, but that went away. The results of the mask were so nice! My pores appeared smaller, which I love! I will be using this again!

It snowed a little yesterday (Halloween) in Kansas City! I think that’s the first time in the 11 years I’ve been here. A couple of weeks ago, it was in the 80’s. But that’s KC weather for you…unpredictable!
So now that it’s colder (for a few days at least) my skin is showing it. I have some dry patches and unevenness, so it’s time to really take care of my skin.
These are the products I have been using lately. The H2O+ products are new and really cool, the Meaningful Beauty one are great for anti-aging and the CeraVe are great hydrators:

These and the face masks are cotton on the outside and gel on the side that touches skin, which I love. The texture for both is very dry though, no serum, just a gel that doesn’t make your face wet. Strange, but it worked well. My under eye are was smooth and firm after use.

Forty, Flirty & Fabulous
