basket of the month: January (and project pan... mostly face products)

i finally succumbed to Project Pan... started by Laura/lollipop26 a few years ago, Project Pan was to select 10 products from your makeup collection and use them up exclusively (?) until they were completely empty, or "hitting pan" (where you can see the metal/glass/plastic pan at the bottom). some YTers selected more products and some selected just a few... regardless it was to use up what you already had and not buy more. then once you were able to accomplish this, you can reward yourself with buying more products!


since i put myself on a mostly no-buy project for 2012 (except for a few brands, like Bare Escentuals/bareMinerals), i have to shop my stash and use what i have. so today, i selected 7 products for my basket of the month. a couple of girls i recently subscribed to make videos about their basket of the week, which are products they are using for that week. they change up the products from week-to-week and may include some of their Project Pan items. since i don't wear makeup enough, i thought having a basket of the month would fit my routine much better. i guess i could have a basket of the week, which would include eye, lip, and cheek products, but i like to switch those things up every single day.

so my basket of the week will contain mostly face products because i know i can use those up the fastest. to make things easy for me this first time around, i chose items that are already halfway used. i've also had these products in my collection for years actually so i'll be happy to use them up. most likely i won't repurchase these items after finishing them because i have sooooo many other products to go through... but this video will help remind me what i've used up in case i want to repurchase these products in the future.


i'll make these videos monthly and so i hope you continue to stay tuned in! xoxo Kathleen
