Weekly Updates: {All about my 'Project Pan/Project Use it up Plan}

Hello lovelies! I have another Weekly Updates post which I haven't actually posted in about two weeks I believe. So, I have something I wanted to talk about but it won't be as in depth as I want it to be mainly because I plan to talk about in a video in December.

So, right now I have a decent sized 'Project Pan' going on. I've been actually sticking to it but then again it's only two months long my project pan. I did this because I've been meaning to really look at my collection and make the changes necessary.  I have finally acknowledged that I have a big makeup collection. Now,first off, I'm not bragging. I'm just stating what I've personally been denying in other ways.

Now, when I say I have a big makeup collection, I don't mean as big as some people on Youtube have. I have gathered more makeup than anyone I personally know and a lot of beauty 'gurus' on youtube today.  I have sarcastically said in the past about my makeup collection but now It's not as funny. I've come to realize after watching many project panners on youtube that I do have a problem. Which I will only touch upon on here because it's something that might be harder to understand and It's a topic for another day.

My problem is I shop. When I say shop I don't mean here and there or reasonable shopping, I shop too much and buy too much. Sure,girls say that all the time but I really am a shopaholic. I buy loads of makeup and it isn't necessary in the slightest. It's as close to hoarding is it can get without it being hoarding. I might make a video on this in the future but right now I just wanted to state that.

Which leads to this whole post. It's the point for my project pan. I know nobody needs 10 foundations and 15 bronzers. It's not something anyone should have in amounts. One foundation is good or even two. Bronzers two is all you need a matte one for contouring and a shimmer for all over or just your cheeks.

I want to downsize but not in the sense of my collection becoming smaller but in the way that It's products I truly want to use or try. Logically, I have too many lipsticks and eyeshadows for me to even try or use everyday. So, I also plan to do a few decluttering videos in the month of December. That's when I'll start my first video in that series.

Now, for my plan. My plan right now is to use the products in my Project Pan as much as possible not so much use them up but get a lot more use out of those products. This will go into 2015.

2015 my plan is different than doing a project pan. I plan to do a Project Use it Up. Now, This will be an intense change from one to another. I never put myself on bans because I end up going nuts and buying EVERYTHING. That's when my problem goes in circles. However, I'm on my project pan now and I'm hoping this will transition me into my project use it up.

So, I'll have a post in depth along with the video and such for when that time comes. I just want to give you all a general idea of what will be happening on this blog as well over the next year. This will be going on for one year. It's going to be hard for me not to buy makeup. I know and that's why I'm allowing myself in the month of December to buy a few products that are on my wishlist because if I cut myself off before getting some of them I'll end up breaking it before it's begun.

The stuff that's on my wishlist I'll be doing a video on closer to January 1st. I'll probably do it about a week or so before the 1st. I'll also post my 'products I plan to use up that year on Christmas I'm thinking, I'll also have my overview of my Project Use it Up' in December.'

With the wishlist, It's not a lot of things but its a few that I want because if I don't get them I know It'll end with me making a 100$ order on websites just because I feel like I need to. My plan is for example, I have 10 liquid foundations. So, when I use them up, or really once I'm on my last one, I can buy that one 'foundation I've been wanting for me it's a toss between Covergirl Whipped Creme foundation and Benefit 'Hello Flawless' I've been wanting to try those forever! So, to reward myself and to also keep myself wanting to finish more products. I'll allow myself to get those.

My project use it up isn't just makeup. That's what will also be hard for myself. I buy more books than I read, so I have myself a goal to read quite a few books before I'd be allow myself to buy them. I have hand soaps,lotions,and hair care products I also want to use up.

I like to have goals and this one will be a really nice outcome I believe in the future. It'll help me be a lot more organized and it'll possibly in months to come once I've been on this Project Use it up for months I'll loose my urge to buy things and spurge.

So, I know this post is way too long and it's just craziness. I just wanted to talk and get this all off my chest and I hope you all enjoyed it and if you're on a 'Project Pan' or a 'Project Use it Up' leave you link below and I'll check you out and follow!
