Mascara! I always have to throw it out when it expires even though I have product left because my eyelashes/roots are sensitive 🙁 Wish I just buy a travel size of my fav!

LOL I’m in the same boat. I toss mascara at about the 2 month mark and so I’ve never used it all by the time it gets discarded. It seems like such a waste, but I had a nasty eye infection years ago that was traced back to a contaminated mascara and so I’d rather be safe than sorry. Out it goes no matter how much or how little I’ve used it.

Same here. I can’t keep mascaras more than 3-4 months or I start getting styes, watering and itching. That why I only buy drugstore or use the free travel sizes or full-size GWP I get. I can’t bring myself to spend $20+ on mascara I’ll have to throw out before it’s used up.

I toss mine after 2 months as well. Its seems to get goopy after the 2 month mark no matter what brand I buy. I stick to cheap mascara.

Everything, so I can justify buying more makeup LOL Ok, I’m trying to use up my Fresh Treatment Lip Balms. I bought a big set a couple years ago, and I’m still going through them. I want to finish so I can try other lip treatments the BITE Agave Lip Mask, the Reve Miel, Hourglass, etc

First of all; my dwindling, has hit major pan, MAC Orb! Then I’ll have my first “empty”. Plus, I really hate when products hit heavy pan and then the risk of crumbling becomes real!

Also, my UD Naked 2, so that I can justify getting the Original Naked palette that I should’ve gotten in the first place, haha!

Katherine T.

Oh, and I’m also a fan of the Anastasia Dip Brow. I got it about 3 yrs ago and have been faithfully using every single day, and I probably won’t finish for another 3 years LOL

I’d like to use up my Bobbi Brown Skin Weightless Powder Foundation because it’s broken and I’d like to get a new one without feeling like I’m buying something that I shouldn’t be! I don’t see that happening though since it’s so difficult to use it without making a huge mess. ?

One nail polish – any nail polish. I’d like to finish one bottle in my lifetime, but I don’t think it’s going to happen! I have many, and I don’t even ear nail polish that often…

Chelsea

Omg same lol. I stopped buying them because I very rarely do my own nails, I always get them done at a salon and just pick a color there. But there’s so many beautiful shades I want to try that the shop doesn’t have ugh!

Ashleigh

One of my BB creams in which the SPF is expired – I didn’t realize until months later when the sun came back out, when I got a sunburn and checked the date and it had expired even before I bought it :/ Almost done, but had to tuck it away until the winter rolled around again.

Astrild

Essence setting powder. It’s not terrible, but it’s not great and I have powders I like a lot more (Bourjois Healthy mix, MAC MSFN, The Balm Sexy mama…) . I know that if I begin to use the others I’ll never finish this one, but it seems to last forever and I’m sick of it so I think I’m going to trash it.

Elizabeth K.

I have a tube each of MAC Creme Cup and Pink Nouveau that just won’t die, no matter how much I use them. I think they grow when I’m not looking. I need a couple more things for B2M, but I have the undead versions of Creme Cup and Pink Nouveau.

MissJae1908

My Lancome Teint Idole. I don’t wear makeup often (1-2 times a week) so it’s hard for me to get through a foundation. I’m ready to try something new.

Sadra

Coincidentally, I would like to use up my Anastasia Brow Wiz, because once again the spoolie broke off, so I have to use a separate spoolie before and after I do my brows. I’m switching to the NYX brow pencil as soon as I finish, to see if that spoolie will last any longer.

Maddi

I was having the same problem! I love the Anastasia Brow Wiz but after this last time of mine breaking I went with the new Urban Decay Brow Beater and I love it! It is very comparable to Anastasia and I almost like it a little better and the brush is still attached! I also love NYX though too!

KaseyKannuck

I would love to use up a powder eyeshadow or a blush, just to see if it’s possible. I’ve used up 2 lipsticks and in high school a handful of pressed powders. My most used blush is still nowhere near hitting pan, and I have one eyeshadow that’s showing pan and I haven’t touched it in almost a year. I don’t wear makeup on a regular basis anymore so using anything up may never happen!

I always have a few lip products on my to-use list! Currently, I have two Tarte Amazonian Clay foundations that I’d like to finish. Neither were a good color match, and I’m tired of mixing them! I also have an Anastasia brow powder duo that’s so old it’s in the silver packaging. It just never ends! But now I prefer the pencils.

Jennifer

A lipstick…I can’t remember ever finishing a lipstick and since it’s my favorite product I own way too many of them, so I don’t know if I’ll be finishing any soon because i like to wear different colors on a daily basis

A couple of weeks ago, I would have said at least a 2-3 foundations, so I could justify splurging on a higher end foundation, but I decided to use my $20 coupon from Sephora on Lancome Teinte Idole Ultra. I’m about halfway through a bottle of L’Oréal True Match Lumi, which I love in terms of formula, but the shade that would be most suitable isn’t available in the US, so I have to mix with something else…

I would also like to finish up my NYX Micro Brow Pencil in Auburn (it was in the wrong box, but I found a way to make it work), so I can get around to dying my hair back to black.

jaz

My coverfx powder. It’s broken ( even after I tried to fix it) and I just hate using it. But I can’t justify spending 40 bucks on another right now, especially when that one still works. Also, some of my urban decay eyeliners, so I can try others

An eyeshadow palette. I want to prove to myself that I actually use my makeup and I’m not just hoarding stuff. I’m not sure about doing a project pan though, I don’t want to force myself to use a palette every day for months until I’m sick of it.

Mariella

For me, the answer is STILL MAC’s Desert Rose blush. It’s the first MAC blush I ever bought and as it was the only blush I used for a few years, I hit pan on it but for the last 4 years at least, I’ve been wanting it to DIE (okay, not really – but I would like to finish it up, already!). The thing is it’s now been “demoted” to my gym bag, so it’s not used very much….

Some of my eye shadow palettes – because I keep buying new ones and love them so much when I first get them.
Also mascaras – I find the travel size ones the most economical as I toss them at the three month mark too.
I have a few (understatement) lipsticks that I should use up as well. Oh dear!

The marker-type liquid liners I decided I wanted to mess with because they looked so ‘easy and convenient’. Ugh, they never make a nice even line like gel + brush.

Connie

Have you tried stila stay all day waterproof liquid eyeliner? I have never achieved a clean perfect thin line with a gel/brush like I get with this product..: and believe me I have tried a lot of combinations… Mac 266,263,208… And lots of gel pot liners also.

Any of my foundations because I have so many, but I feel like I’m never going to get through all of them!! I’m almost done a Giorgio Armani Maestro foundation now and it expires January 2016 anyway!

Flicka

My MAC Studio Finish concealer. I have had it for about 2 years and there is still so much left, like for another 7 months. I wonder if this is even hygienic?

Chelsea

I found this little makeup community on IG of people doing this thing called #projectpan and it’s inspired me to try to pan some stuff, so I’m currently working on a bottle of UD naked skin liquid foundation, a TF chocolate soleil bronzer, and maybelline age rewind concealor

One of my blushes for sure! It would be like a lifetime achievement for me 🙂 For example, I’ve had Warm Soul for about 3-4 years, I barely flattened the dome! And that’s my oldest/most used blush.

For realistic goals I’d say my Bobby Brown tinted moisturizer, cause I reaaalllly want to get my little hands on the NARS one, but cannot and will not justify having two at the same time.

MUFE Face & Body Foundation… because, at this point, it’s just taking up space! Since discovering MUFE’s Liquid Lift Foundation and Guerlain’s Lingerie de Peau, it’s been difficult to force myself to use the F&B,

VAL MARTIN

I have a Cargo blush that I am trying so hard to use up. There is only a small amount of product all around the rim of the pot but it’s going on forever!

Tracey E.

An Aveda foundation that provides lightweight coverage. I used to wear it only in the summer but am now trying to use it on the days when my activities are around the home. I need more coverage in general these days and just can’t seem to get to the end of this tube!

Sheila

I have soooooo many face moisturisers, Nivea, Estee L, Skyn Iceland, Eucerin, Boots No7 as I am desperate to get into my Elemis skincare. I just don’t want them to go off. I also need to get rid of loads of foundations my current nearly finished Clarins so I can start on my Laura Mercier. And last but not least I want toget through the at least 30 of my half to thurd used lippies, as you can see I have far too many xx
