Anna's Project Pan Empties
46
items Over time, I've realized that having a smaller curated collection is much more valuable, especially when overcomsumption is normalized and runs rampant lol. Sooo I decided to participate in project pan (or project curate) to condense my collection! I...

9 empties for my first month of project pan??? So good wth! jk guys, I came home for the holidays so I managed to finish a bunch of half empty stuff at my parents' house
Finished the 1L bottle! This was a huge accomplishment, I've had the bottle for 2-3 years. Not *entirely* sure if this did anything for me
Extreme Bleach Recovery Shampoo - Redken
To me this was just a regular shampoo, didn't do anything too special and I just can't justify $62 CAD for 250mL
Chroma Absolu Shampoo for Fine to Medium Color-Treated Hair | Kérastase
Made my hair very soft, would buy again (bonus points for the protein) but I kind of want to try the mask before I decide on which one to repurchase
Nutritive Hydrating Conditioner for Dry Hair | Kérastase
No notes, solid body wash and I have 3 or 4 more of these. Soapy vanilla scent if that makes sense. I like, I think it smells like a clean vanilla
Dove Body Wash - Pamper Shea Butter & Vanilla
Super lightweight, I like to layer heat protectants if I'm using a lot of heat but I wouldn't use this by itself as a styling product, I find no. 6 has better hold. I like to use this by itself if I'm just blow drying my hair and not styling
Nº.9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum - Olaplex
SO GOOD!! I think I've gone through 3 or 4 of these
Nº.6 Bond Smoother - Olaplex
Not what I was looking for–I like a setting spray that makes my makeup transfer proof (or at least just transfer less) and this did not do that for me, idk if that's because mine was super old (from 2020)
Makeup Revolution Sport Fix Setting Spray
Lowkey loved but it's discontinued RIP
Jewel Lips - Pillow Talk - Charlotte Tilbury
I LOVE SM! This is the third one I've finished. Canadian winters are dry af and just using this once a day before bed is enough to stop my hands from cracking. Smells super good as well
Shea Butter Hand Cream | L'Occitane en Provence
January 2026
6 empties this month hehe. I'm still just getting the ball rolling with project pan at this point so more to come :)
Been using this for a few years and have been liking, smells very good
Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray - Pureology
Just a bar soap I've been using since I was 12 lol, smells good though
Caprina : Soap Bars
Bought a mini to try before committing to the full size. I really liked it, found that this really helped with my post inflammation erythema (PIE)/ post acne red marks so I immediately purchased the full size
MINI - Paula's Choice 10% Azelaic Acid Booster
I mean it did what it was supposed to do lol
Strength Cure Blonde - Pureology
Not my favourite flavour, I find the original one keeps my breath fresh the longest and I'm not sure if this one whitened my teeth
Dazzling Mint - TheraBreath
Minty/cooling/plumping effect. Nice gloss, I liked
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Collagen Lip Bath
February 2026
Kind of guestimating here oops. I'm 90% sure this is what I finished this month. lots of hair care this month
I had a bottle that was mostly finished–still had some product left but nothing was coming out of the pump. I really like this in the morning because I prefer a foaming cleanser at night (removes makeup better). Very gentle, not stripping at all–perf...
Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser - La Roche-Posay
Had the tiniest bit left so just finished it up real quick. Not quite sure if this did anything for rough bumpy skin as I don't have a whole lot of that and I only had a week or two of product left which is not long enough to see noticeable differenc...
Dove Body Scrub with AHAs
Not quite sure if this made my hair thicker. Since you're supposed to use this everyday to see results and each bottle lasts 2 ish months with daily use AND its $90 CAD, I will pass on this
Scalp Serum - OUAI
Genuinely one of the best clarifying shampoos I've ever used. I use it once for my first shampoo and use a bond repair/conditioning shampoo for my second wash. When I used to use just my bond repair/conditioning shampoo I needed to triple, sometimes ...
Pantene Volume & Body Shampoo
I mean it did what it was supposed to do lol
Strength Cure Blonde Conditioner - Pureology
March 2026
Also guestimating here.. 5 empties YAYY. wow lots of skin care lol
i realized that i like milky toners more so will not be repurchasing this one
Anua Heartleaf 77 Toner
Finished up the 60mL bottle (bought and started using in Dec) unfortuately pills under makeup
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 | The Ordinary
Got it as a sample from IPSY back in 2021 and finally decided to use it/pan it. this one had a minty/cooling feeling on the skin and i do not personally like that
Clean it Zero - Banila Co
niacinamide is not my active of choice for dark spots or hyperpigmentation so will not be repurchasing for this reason. i will say it did give a nice glow
AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum
Used up the travel size I keep in my makeup bag. I liked it
TRAVEL - All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray - Urban Decay
April 2026
This is when I started tracking fr–on April 18th i counted 282 products give or take. 9 empties in april!!! honestly super proud of myself for being consistent and resisting the urge to stray from the plot
SMELLS SO GOOD WHAT?? Great if you love gourmand–bathroom genuinely smelled like a bakery, prob my fav dove scrub scent so far
Brown Sugar & Coconut Butter Body Scrub - Dove
Honestly made my hair super smooth/soft. Loved the smell as well and pretty inexpensive (I have high porosity bleached hair)
Fino Premium Touch Hair Mask
war is overrr–I love la roche posay sunscreens but this one was sooo greasy, especially for a chemical sunscreen. I love the anthelios ultra fluide though
Anthelios UV Correct | Daily Anti-Aging Sunscreen - La Roche-Posay
I think I've had this since 2020.. yikes but I did like it. I actually have a second one lol. Probably on my top 3 for lip glosses but I might try another shade next time (fenty glow → fussy??)
Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer - Fenty Beauty
Used up one of the sample sizes. I like that it's super lightweight and the applicator is also very cooling, feels great in the morning. Unfortunately this didn't work for my dark circles, ngl I have no idea what kind of dark circles I even have so i...
SAMPLE - Génifique Light Pearl Illuminating Under Eye Serum - Lancôme
I loved this so muchhh. Never had something lock my makeup in so good. Wore this to the beach last year and makeup survived the heat, sweat, and water. However, I usually only use this if I have an event and need my makeup to last HOURS and/or need i...
L'Oreal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray
two sunscreen empties this month 👀 this one i actually like, A LOT lol. Sits great under makeup, not overly greasy
Anthelios Ultra Fluide Sunscreen - La Roche-Posay
finished up the full size one i had, kind of sad that they reformulated
All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray - Urban Decay
this was supposed to be a sol de janeiro 62 dupe but i honestly dont think it is. it smell *similar* but are different enough. all in all, i love the way it smells and is decently moisturizing, i'm gonna be so fr the skin on my body isn't *too* dry s...
Body Butter - Nutrius
May 2026
Started the month with 279 products which is -3 from April! Although May was a slow month in comparison to April, I'm realizing that I tend to alternate between very good months and ok months
first empty of the month! no notes, solid body wash. will be a staple for me
Dove Body Wash - Pamper Shea Butter & Vanilla
I decided to split my moisturizers into morning and night. This is what led me to realize I prefer lighter gel like moisturizers for the morning. It did have a light scent to it and I prefer my skincare to be fragrance free but this is also what made...
TENZERO Teatree Clearing Water Cream
This is huge bc powders take so long to empty. I still remember when I first tried it and fell in love with it LOL. I bought a backup a few months ago when I was anticipating finishing this soon. Going to be committing to this for the next foreseeabl...
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder | Finishing Powder
I really liked this conditioner, probably in my top 3. Go Dove! Shout out to Abbey Yung for introducing me to Dove hair care, I love silicones in my conditioning products. I find that silicones make my hair super soft and smooth which in turn prevent...
Dove Daily Moisture Conditioner
First perfume empty ever!! (travel size, sample size, everything) I loved this scent, and repurchased! I'm not fully panning or on a no buy for perfume, the idea is to just be mindful and only repurchase the scents that I love so I can condense my co...
Libre Eau De Parfum - YSL Beauty
June 2026
I wanted to love this so bad :( It was a fine hair mask, maybe I needed the one for medium to thick hair? But it just didn't do much for my hair. My hair was mostly the same after, it wasn't much softer or anything. It did smell very nice though
Fine To Medium Hair Treatment Masque - OUAI
I liked this, it was pretty lightweight. I mixed 2-4 sprays for every pump ish of body lotion and I love how that applied. I find that body oils are too greasy when I apply before or after lotion and it's far too overstimulating that way so I like to...
Daily Moisturizing Body Oil Mist | AVEENO
First foundation empty!! I've been at war with this since I started panning this. Took me way too long to realize this wasn't made for my skin type (normal/combo oily). Could be user error from applying too much product but would only sometimes?? sep...
Hint Hint Skin Tint - Morphe
I fear I'm one of the people that thinks this smells a little like yogurt rip. I will say it smells a lot nicer after it settles down a little–my experience at least, I know plenty of people that love it straight out of the bottle as well. But life i...
Shea Better Vanilla Cashmere Body Lotion - eos
I loved this sm. TXA (tranexamic acid) is amazingg! It targets dark spots/hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin production (so cool). I believe TXA is also the (miracle compound?) in the caudalie vinoperfect serum?? and for a fraction of the cost! ...
Centella 4% TXA Gel Serum – haruharu wonder
literally had this since high school but i'm finally done with it (great concealer, just old af)
Fit Me Concealer - Maybelline
This was pretty old lol (sample size from sephora birthday gift). I did REALLY like this though. It is fragranced so that is something to keep in mind. I can't lie, I was a little nervous about the fragrance because it used to break me out (stopped a...
SAMPLE - The Dewy Skin Cream Replenishing and Plumping Moisturizer
