I'd love to know how other people sort and organize their brushes! It's something I've just never gotten right. I have a favorite foundation brush and a favorite concealer brush, and I have a giant powder brush that's a pain to store, so I know where they are at all times. But everything else I always find myself just grabbing at the nearest plausible thing, and then discovering later that I had something better for the job and I just forgot I had it or couldn't find it.

We focus on a palette for the week and our thoughts on it. All palettes are welcome. This includes eyeshadow, cheek, lip, pre-made, and self-made. Grouping of singles can also be a palette (ex: colour palette or scheme).

Did you do the PAW challenge last week? Which palette did you use? Did you find it successful or was it a failure? Have your opinions on the palette changed at all? Do you plan to keep the palette and use it again?

Which palette are you going to use this week? Why have you chosen this palette? Do you have any goals you hope to reach in using it?

BAW/CAW- Did you use any particular cheek product last week? Has it made the cut or is it time to let it go?

blessed New Moon, panners! I hope you are setting great intentions for your panning projects today! ❤️

I've been doing this tarot card panning project since last June and I'm really enjoying it, but I've decided to make some small shifts recently. I'm now drawing one major arcana card and two minor arcana for the new moon. the major "rules" the project and the minors guide the project beneath the major.

I've also pulled the tower, judgement, and death from the new moon deck. these are cards that modify the project so I'm only using them for the full moon draw.

I need to update the spreadsheet, hopefully today, to reflect these changes. but I like them. last month was ruled by the Hierophant. so I wore very traditional neutral looks and actually gained a major appreciation for my neutral colors.

this lunar cycle:

Wheel of Fortune: all products are ruled by roulette/random draws

Queen of Swords: cold vibes (this is guiding my BYOP color story)

II of Swords: small, curated collections. I'm keeping my perfume collection this month to 4 items

I'm excited about this shift to my little project!

here is the intro post if you're interested. I'm gonna work on updating the spreadsheet today.

I have a lot of products, I’ve whittled it down since doing project pan consistently for like 2-3 years now and a mix of gifting/donations/tossing out expired products, but my collection still feels way too big and I really really hate clutter.

The problem is I love a lot of them and don’t seem to be able to downsize further. I don’t enjoy hate pans, so I’ll toss something I really hate, but sometimes through the hate pan I realize I actually really like the product. Which is a good thing I guess! But then considering I don’t want to buy anything new except replacements for essentials (like I only have one mascara at a time and a max of 2 concealers at a time) I feel sad or worried that if I finish that product im working on, I won’t be able to rebuy it because I just don’t want to spend and also I know logically a lot of my makeup is too similar to immediately repurchase - it may not be the same but it’s similar.

I really want my makeup buying philosophy to be like, 2 out 1 in, so it doesn’t stay the same number of items and gradually reduces over the years. So this happens to me a lot with products like blush and eyeshadow - realistically i have more than enough already, but I feel hesitant to truly finish them off to the point of being able to toss them. then the number doesn’t go down.

Sometimes I put them in a separate drawer and leave it alone for a while, and eventually use it again after a long break like months, which is fine but this means the number really doesn’t go down the way I want it to. I hate knowing I have a drawer of clutter even if it’s out of sight it’s not truly out of mind for me. It also keeps me kind of confused whether something works for me or not, because of me keeping it around “just in case” instead of tossing.

Any advice?

My apologies for the delay! I've had a manic week.

Welcome back to the 10 by "Winter" project!! ❄️⛄️🫖🥧 (Or if you're in the Southern Heisphere like u/Thislittlepiggysays, Summer ☀️)

What better time than now for one last push to make an impact on your collection before the calendar flips over to 2027 (😱)

If you're new/curious, read on below! If you're joining us again, welcome back you panning legend! Either way, LET'S DO THIS! 💪

The project works like this: Choose any 10 items and pick a goal that you want to work towards by the end of the season. Anything beauty related is fair game; makeup, haircare, skincare, fragrances, etc. Select your goals for this project: finishing an item (aka panning), hitting pan, reaching a usage goal, or even just testing an item out. 10 is just a suggestion, though feel free to add any number of items you like. Make it work for you!

This project starts on the first day of Autumn, 21st September, and will run December 21st. Feel free to join anytime. The more, the merrier!!

I'll post an update every two weeks 🧣5th Oct 🧤 19th Oct ❄️2nd Nov ☃️16th Nov ⛸️ 30th Nov and finale on 🎄20th December.

Please let me know if you would like to be tagged as a reminder for when the updates are posted.

Myself & u/Thislittlepiggysays are running this project, so if you have any issues, please let us know!

This is partially me venting about something and partially me asking for any help or suggestions that I can get.

One of my biggest insecurities is not wearing makeup. It's not because I think I'm hideous without it (I'm average without it), it's mostly because I have so much of it that I don't use. If I leave the house without putting on lipstick first, it feels like I'm actively wasting the dozens of lipsticks that I have in my collection. Same for eyeshadow and cream blush. Every day that I don't have the time, energy, or patience to put makeup on, it feels like my products are wasting away in my vanity table.

Lately, i've noticed a really awful pattern forming; I will see someone else not wearing makeup and think to myself that they should be wearing it, not only should they but they NEED to. I don't ever say anything to these people, it's just the thought that comes into my head, but it feels cruel nevertheless. What's really weird about it is that I haven't been judgemental like this in the past. Until very recently, it never registered in my mind who was or wasn't wearing makeup.

What is it that's making me think like this? How did I become so hypocritical seemingly overnight? How do I tell the mean thoughts to STFU?

Eighth & ninth update for this project! Feel free to join in at any time! ☀️

Rules:

\\\\- choose 26 products (or whatever # you feel comfortable with) and pick goals for each product; your goals can be anything you want

\\\\- products can expand beyond beauty; think finishing x books or finishing that variety tea box your mom bought that you’ve never used! Make it fun and make it sustainable for you!

Update posts will be live on the 1st of the following month at 12PM ET! Share your updates whenever you’d like ☺️
