little white truths

I'm behind at the moment with panning posts: there are Pan that Palette wrap-ups to write, this Project Pan quarterly tally and also my 2017 makeup inventory update.

One thing at a time ; )

First up, this tally post. Just because I barely slept last night so I need something that's easier on the brain... 

As you may know, I like to do these tallies every few months to help keep myself motivated, with a final one at year's end so I know just how I've done.

If you'd like to see my last tally post, it's here. I wrote that mid-year, and here's what I'd finished by then:

• one eye primer 
• two face primers 
• one liquid foundation 
• two powder foundations 
• two BB/CC creams (one travel-sized) 
• three concealers 
• five lipsticks 
• two lip glosses 
• one lip crayon 
• one lip liner 
• one eyeliner 
• one powder blush 
• one non-powder blush 
• one powder highlighter 
• two liquid illuminators (one travel-sized) 
• three hair treatments (one travel-sized) 
• two hair oils (both travel-sized) 
• one sunscreen spray (travel-sized) 
• four face masks 
• one tanning mousse (travel-sized) 
• one toothpaste 
• one perfume (travel-sized) 
• one nail polish 
• one lip scrub

That's 41 products total, bringing me close to my goal of panning between 50 and 60 products for 2017. Looks like I'll get there : )

Let's see how I've done since then...

July wasn't my greatest panning month in terms of numbers, but I was able to finish an entire cream eyeshadow/base and also a liquid blush - and if you're a panner, you'll know how long those things last!

Here's what I finished in July:

• one lip gloss
• one lipstick
• one cream eyeshadow/eye base
• one concealer
• one hair oil (travel-sized)
• one liquid blush

So six products total. Not my best month, but not my worst either.

August was a better month and I managed to finish ten products. Yes some of those were travel-sized, but others were longer-standing items that had been on my list for ages so I was happy to get through them.

August's full tally:

• one perfume 
• one primer (travel-sized)
• one eye primer
• one lip balm
• two lipsticks
• one highlighting pencil
• one liquid highlighter (travel-sized)
• one foundation
• one powder foundation (travel-sized)

I was extra excited to finish the foundation and eye primer: both were those never-ending items that seem to grow more product overnight ; )

September was definitely a month for finishing lip products: I knocked out four in total, which isn't surprising because I find lip products the easiest to pan. 

This is partly because I have chronically dry lips, and partly because I'm always drinking something these days (especially water since my son is obsessed with breastfeeding so I'm chronically dehydrated; and then there's all the coffee that my sleep-deprived self needs...), meaning there's a lot of transfer happening and I constantly need to reapply. 

September's overall tally:

• two glosses
• two lipsticks (one mini)
• one sleep spray
• one hair treatment
• one tinted moisturiser

• two eye primers 
• three face primers (one travel-sized) 
• two liquid foundations 
• three powder foundations (one travel-sized) 
• three BB/CC creams / tinted moisturisers (one travel-sized) 
• one cream eyeshadow/eye base 
• one highlighting pencil 
• four concealers 
• ten lipsticks (one mini) 
• five lip glosses 
• one lip balm 
• one lip crayon 
• one lip liner 
• one eyeliner 
• one powder blush 
• two non-powder blushes (one gel, one liquid) 
• one powder highlighter 
• three liquid highlighters (two travel-sized) 
• four hair treatments (one travel-sized) 
• three hair oils (all travel-sized) 
• one sunscreen spray (travel-sized) 
• four face masks 
• one tanning mousse (travel-sized) 
• one toothpaste 
• two perfumes (one travel-sized) 
• one nail polish 
• one lip scrub 
• one sleep spray

Huzzah! I'm excited : )

Perhaps it's time to set the bar higher. Can I pan 80?  We'll see...
