Goal: Finish it

Did I reach my goal: YES

Elizabeth Arden – Green tea honey drops body cream (500 ml):
Weight at the start of 2022: 368 g

Weight at the end of 2022: 245 g
Goal: Finish it up
Did I reach my goal: No, but I did use 123 grams of product, and this from the look of it, I have managed to use half of the product that was in the jar at the start of the year. 
Estée Lauder – Advanced night repair (7 ml):

Wight at the end of 2022: 18 g
Goal: Use it 2x a week
Did I reach my goal: Well no, but I started the year out by using it 2x a week, that soon faded into nothing. Then when I visited this product again in November and used it a few times in a row, my eyes became super watery in the morning. And after watching a Youtube video about the active ingredient in this serum I did not want to use it again, and poured the remaining product out.

Weight at the start of 2022: 53 g 

Weight at the end of 2022: 53 g

Weight at the start of 2022: 43 g 

Weight at the end of 2022: 42 g
Goal: Hit pan

Did I reach my goal: No, but I did use it as my main setting powder for the entire year 2022 - and according to this I barely used 1 gram of product, and even less as I had to scrape a hard pan from the top of this powder.

Length at the start of 2022: 12 cm 

Length at the end of 2022: 11.6 cm

This year I decided to add on a few extras:
Crest – Noticeably white whitestrips – dental whitening kit (20 total strips):
Number of packs at the start of 2022: 5 packs of strips

Number of packs at the end of 2022: 0
Goal: Use it up
Did I reach my goal: YES

Did I reach my goal: YES
Bio Effect – eye mask (2 sheets x 1,25 g):
Number of masks: 1
Goal: Use it
Did I reach my goal: YES

Other goals for 2022 were:

1. Use eye shadows I own, to make similar looks to palettes I would like to own - did I reach this goal? Not so much.
2. Keep an ongoing wish list - this I have done all year, and managed only to buy one eye palette 
3. Use a face mask once a week - this maybe stuck with me for 12 weeks - then it was forgotten, but I do plan to make it a goal of 2023.
4. De-clutter old items from my collection - this I did yes, when I decluttered one eyshadow palette, a eyeshadow single and four lip products out of my stash. 
5. Use nail polish once a month - maybe used in January and February
6. No mascara purchase in 2022 - I did buy one mini one as a part of the Sephora Favorites set.
7. No nail polish purchase in 2022 - I did not buy one, but was gifted one as a part of the Guinot Advent calendar 
8. No body lotion purchase in 2022 - fail as I did buy one small one from Sol DeJanero. 

Out of the ten main products in this project pan, I managed to hit my goal with three of them, which turns out to be a better result than from the two previous years 2021 and 2020. Even though 3 out of 10 does not sound so good, which makes me want to do better in 2023.

Do you have too much makeup and could do with a "project pan"?

Project pan 2022

This year as in the the years before, I want to continue tracking my purchases and focusing on use some stuff up! So for 2022 I have selected ten items as usual I want to focus on, plus a few bonus items.

The products I want to "hit pan on" in 2022

Mac paint pot and Milani powder at start of 2022

Extra items I want to finish in 2022

Yves Saint Laurent - Volupté tint in oil – No. 4 (6 ml):
Weight at the start of 2022 (with packaging - as for all of the products): 20 g 
Goal: Finish it
Why: This was a part of my beauty goals for 2020 (at the start of the year it weighted 25 g) – and it is really about time to finish it up
Milk Makeup – Lip+Cheek – Werk (6 g): 
Weight at the start of 2022: 20 g 
Goal: Use this as my primary cheek product for 2022
Why: As I have a few cream blushes now, I have to start using some of them before they go bad
Elizabeth Arden – Green tea honey drops body cream (500 ml):
Weight at the start of 2022: 368 g
Goal: Finish it up
Why: this was a part of my beauty goals for 2020, which I later in the year swapped out for the Jergens cream – this cream weighed 427 g at the beginning of 2020 – now it is it’s time on the chopping block!
Estée Lauder – Advanced night repair (7 ml): 
Weight at the start of 2022: 16 g 
Goal: Use it up
Why:There is little product left of this item, so why not finish it and be able to move it out of my collection
Grande lash MD – Lash enhancing serum (2 ml): 
Weight at the start of 2022: 20 g 
Goal: Use it 2x a week
Why: I am not sure I can tolerate this product every day as you are supposed to – so I want to use it up this year by using it 2x a week
Lumene – Instant glow beauty serum (30 ml):
Weight at the start of 2022: 70 g 
Goal: Finish it up
Why: This product was a part of my beauty goals for 2021, I did not use it up, and it is one of my oldest foundations in my collection
Lancóme – Hydra Zen Jelly mask (15 ml):

Goal: Use it up
Why: it is a small tester and can be used up easily
Mac – Pro longwear paint pot – Groundwork (5 g): 
Weight at the start of 2022: 53 g 
Goal: See a difference in the dip in the pan
Why: I continue to put one of my cream eye products into the project each year, and now it’s time for this Mac paint pot
Milani – Prep+Set+Glow illuminating transparent powder (8,5 g): 
Weight at the start of 2022: 43 g 
Goal: Hit pan

Goal: Use 2 cm of product
Why: This lipliner was a part of my beauty goals for 2020, but with Covid and mask-life I only used up 0,2 cm of it. This year I really hope to do better, and will be able to incorporate lip liners into my daily makeup routine. As well as it could be a good combo with the YSL lip oil
 
This year I decided to add on a few extras:
Crest – Noticeably white whitestrips – dental whitening kit (20 total strips):
Number of packs at the start of 2022: 5 packs of strips

Dr. Bragi – Marine enzyme intensive treatment mask (10 ml):

Goal: Use it
Why: I tend to let things lay too long in my stash and not use it

4. De-clutter old items from my collection
5. Use nail polish once a month

7. No nail polish purchase in 2022
8. No body lotion purchase in 2022

What about you - any goals?

IS + X-mas gift haul

I have to admit that most of my beauty purchases are made abroad, so it's about time I make an account of the items I bought in my home country + the two beauty items I got for X-mas.

Benefit - They're real mascara: I have for a long time really wanted to try some of the mascaras from Benefit, and when I saw this on a sale, I snatched one.

Nars audacius lipstic - Anna: my nephew was so kind to give this to me for Christmas. And am super excited to try this one out

Milani - Prep+Set+Glow illuminating transparent powder 02: This I bought as I had some credit left on a gift card I received last year. Heard some really good things about it - so it will be exciting to try

Inglot eyeshadow - colour 363 (3,0 g) - a medium grey, brown with a hint of purple: when I turned in my master-thesis I thought I did deserve a small reward, and as I have never tried anything from Inglot before I thought it would be a perfect treat.
Essie nail lacquer - buy me a cameo: a rosy metallic colour a friend of mine gave me for x-mas. This colour is a tiny bit darker than the one I am planning to use up in 2018 - so will have this one waiting.

Helena Rubinstein - All mascaras, complete eye make-up remover: there was a 25% discount in one of the big supermarkets in Iceland, on all cosmetics, so I thought it would be a perfect time to get a better eye makeup remover than micelar water which is not performing so well with my Lumene mascara. Unfortunately this brand in my opinion is not as good as the Lancomé Bi-Facil one, which remains my favorite ;)

So that summons up all my cosmetics and beauty purchases and gifts in the year of 2017. Which comes to a total of 15 items.
