After consulting my makeup inventory in December last year, I noticed I still owned a lot of lipsticks for someone that likes to stick to one shade at a time. This leads me to conduct a new project pan for 2019, however, this one focuses on lips!
Since I am a creature of habit and can't multi-task when it comes to using lip products this pan will run differently to most I have seen. Although I will select a year-long goal of how many products I'd like to work through, I will be doing it rolling pan style and use one at a time. I can either use up a lip product completely or until I feel satisfied with my progress to then declutter it.

In my last pan, I think I was pretty successful with lip products, especially since I've never used up one lip product before then. So I am going to set myself a goal of using up 5 lip products this year. Since I'd lip to transition my lip collection to be all natural/non-toxic I will be selecting items that are cruelty-free for this project pan.

The lip products that I have chosen are:
  • Essence Cosmetics lip liner - In the nude
  • Ofra Cosmetics lip liner - Wine
  • Colourpop lippie stix - Cookie
  • NYX Cosmetics SMLC - Stockholm
  • 3ina lipstick - 301

Starting points:

If I do happen to use these products up before the year is over then I will roll in more and keep it going.
This finale is being posted a little later due to me not really feeling like blogging/using Instagram regularly last year. I also didn't update you throughout October, November or December so here is my overall project pan finale!
I will give a brief final update on all the products that were left in my project. Followed by a final tally at the end of this post.

Eye Shadow - Tarte Tartelette in Bloom
As you may know, I went back to using my beloved Tarte palette again. I wanted to pan as many shades as possible. By the end, I was able to pan 5 shades (excluding rocker as that was panned for another purpose). I also was able to remove the tarte logo on some shades. I was pretty pleased with my progress in this palette, it also really showed me what shades I tend to use and what shades I don't need in my collection.

Blush - Nudestix Bare Back
I was really proud of my progress with this item. I was never really a blush person but I enjoyed using a cream product and it was the perfect companion when I went to Bali. I want to continue to use it up and enjoy it in 2019. Including this is my project also made me reach for my other nudestix items more often, overall they are a great brand with good quality, easy to use products.
Foundation
My goal was to use up 4 foundations from my collection. I was able to use up 3 foundations in 2018, so I did get pretty close. This year I am only using organic/non-toxic foundations so any remainder foundations have been decluttered.

Brows - Chi Chi Brow Pomade (blonde)
My goal was to hit pan on this and I did it! I was also able to expand this pan pretty significantly so I was really happy with my progress.

Lips
NYX lipgloss in Eclair - this product was hardly touched. I just don't think I am a lipgloss person, I would rather apply lip balm. 
Nudestix in Mystic - I did really well with this and almost used it up completely. It is at the point where it is getting harder to sharpen so I got really close. I think I will call it done once this last sharpening goes blunt.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Dim Light
I didn't hit pan on this but I did use it more than I was prior to including it in my project. I feel like this powder will show minimal progress for a long time but that is a good thing as it was quite pricey, so I don't want to power through it quickly.

NYX under eye colour corrector 
I ended up decluttering this to my mum. I was able to expand the pan on this but I've gotten really minimal with my makeup style so this product became an extra step I wasn't reaching for.
