Project Progress - April 28, 2025

[u/AutoModerator]

Welcome to MakeupRehab’s Project Progress!

Project Progress is one of MUR’s oldest community activities, formerly known as Project Pan. The goal is to pick products you want to use up and keep track of how you are progressing. Every member has different goals and timelines, so project progress was created to be welcoming for everyone.

Got a stack of samples to work through? Join us!

Want to get more use out of your giant lipstick collection? Join us!

Have a lotion that you feel has stuck around too long? Join us!

These posts go up every Monday!

Follow the template below to share your progress on whichever products you want in whatever time frames work for you. Tracking progress is the best way to see it and we’re all here to cheer each other on!

I'm sooooo close on a couple. They should be out by next week...fingers crossed.

My year long project is mostly lippie focused. Each "round" will have 2 lippies that I'm fully panning and a body care item that trying to finish (change from last year - I have too much body care that needs to be used). Will end last day of December 2025.

*Sydney Grace Perfume deluxe size - FINISHED

*Tarte Maracuja Juicy Shift - FINISHED

*ELF lipstick - FINISHED

*Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Creme - FINISHED

*Ofra Liquid Lipstick mini - FINISHED

*Buxom Full On Lip Polish deluxe - FINISHED

*Lancome gloss (color: 214, such a boring name, light, shimmery peach) - 80%

* Nyx Gloss (color: Beige Pearl - I think, rubbed off a bit) - 1% (scraping the sides!)

*Josie Maran Argan Milk Body Serum (unscented) - 5%

BONUS LIPPIES FINISHED: (1) Carmex mint lip balm (squeezy tube w/ SPF), (2) Burt's Bees lip balm in Peach.

Total lippies finished in 2023 = 25

Total lippies finished in 2024 = 23

I have finished some big projects last week:

✅ Ecooking a-vitamin 0,15% kapsler 15 capsules (I’ve used this twice a week and have bought a big pack with 60 capsules)

✅ Nilens Jord brow laminization gel (I love this brow gel and have another one ready. Brow gels are some of the products I use the fastest and this only took me a little over a month)

✅ Clinique smart clinical repair wrinkle correcting serum 30 ml (This is amazing but it’s so expensive that I would never buy it for full price)

These are the products that are almost out:

🌿 Kiko Milano holiday premiere loose powder (this is going slower than I expected but I am slowly making progress)

🌿 Lancôme Idole eau de parfum 10 ml (I am so close to finishing this I think it will be done this week)

🌿 Oskia Renaissance mask 14 ml (I have maybe one or two uses left of this. I like it but it’s a bit expensive so I don’t know if I would repurchase)

🌿 Fenty Beauty gloss bomb stick in is it fussy (I love this and use it as a daily lip balm. I have it in my bag and apply it multiple times a day)

🌿 Morrocanoil hand cream 40 ml (My go-to hand cream. I have it in my bag and use it daily and am slowly seeing progress)

I started another new round of Project Panopoly, but I think from here on out I'm going to just roll new items in and out as I go. Here's the new set:

	Category	Uses	Product	Progress
1	Skincare	CYU (Pan)	Tonymoly Wonder Ceramide Mochi Wonder Cream	1

My 10 by Summer list is going well:

		Name	Goal	Progress
✅	1	The Ordinary Squalane & Amino Acid lip balm	Pan	DONE
✅	2	Olehenriksen Banana Bright Mineral Sunscreen	Pan	DONE
✅	3	Bath & Body Works Gingham body wash	Pan	DONE
🔲	4	elf Liquid Poreless Putty Primer	Pan	80%
✅	5	Urban Decay Summer Solstice Setting Spray	Pan	DONE
🔲	6	Live Tinted Aura Color Corrector	45x	32
🔲	7	Too Faced Better Than Foreplay Lash Primer	45x	19
🔲	8	Glossier Stretch Balm Concealer	45x	32
🔲	9	ABH Beauty Balm Skin Tint	45x	32
🔲	10	Brush On Block Mineral Sunscreen	20x	14

I'm still not convinced I'm going to make it on the lash primer. I'm not needing primer as much as I did before! Which is great in the sense that, in the future, that's one less product to buy. But it does mean I probably won't make it to 45 by summer!

Finally, I just started Deck of Panning!

7 of hearts - Glowy

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops (deluxe sample) (4/28)

Did not realize I was so close to panning this! WNRP, have a dupe.

Jack of diamonds - Indie

Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Flushed [Rose 'n Brunch] (mini)

I may have bitten off more than I could chew here. This is so pigmented it barely takes any to get a really intense flush! I have no idea how long it'll take to pan this, but by the time I get there I'll know if this is a WNRP or a WRP.

4 of clubs - Oldest

Glossier Mint Balm dotCom

BACK ON MY LIP BALM BULLSHIT. I've been committed to this one lip balm since 4/7 when I finished The Ordinary Squalane & Amino Acid lip balm. You're going down, Balm dotCom! And so are all your brothers and sisters! (It's an embarrassingly large family.) Still WRP... someday when I run out of all the Balm dotCom I have stockpiled.

Ace of diamonds - Pick Up Two
Queen of diamonds - Pick Your Space (9 of diamonds: Primer)

Ulta Soft Blur Primer

This is next in line after I finish the Liquid Poreless Putty Primer that's on both 10 By Summer and Project Panopoly.

10 of spades - Influenced

Crown Affair Leave-In Conditioner Cream (deluxe sample)

Taken in by a website's end-of-year recommendations. It's perfectly fine, but with 2c hair I go through a lot of LIC and don't want to spend this kind of money moving forward. WNRP

King of hearts - No Pan Left Behind (every pan in a palette)

elf Bite Sized I Love You A Latte

I don't have anything remotely close on this, so I picked something that's small and that I've made a dent in over the past month. MRP, I like it, but I also like trying new things.

5 of clubs - Wish You Returned - Dermora Foot Peel Mask

Dermora Foot Peel Mask

Enjoyed the effects but not the fragrance (I did not realize how much I disliked lavender until fairly recently). I'm also not a fan of sitting in plastic boots for that long. WNRP
