Since I just recycled and threw away over 60 empty cosmetics that I was saving from 2025 for review during the months that I missed, I’m bound and determined not to get that far behind again this year. So here we go with March 2026 empties. Bath & Body Spongelle Bulgarian Rose Body Buffer: …
Before we get too far into March, I am going to try to go through my beauty empties for January and February together. I have a lot. But I have noticed that by and large I am always “reviewing” the same products. Frankly, I’m wondering if Project Pan makes sense any longer since I …
To be honest, I’ve been using up so many cosmetics this year, that I have found writing my Project Pan mini-reviews to be daunting. I split my May Project Pan into two parts, but I never got around to writing the second part. The first part was skincare empties, and you can read it …
Because I used up 18 products during the month of May 2025, I am going to break my mini-reviews into two parts. Here’s Part 1, Skincare: KORRES Black Pine 360• Eye-Lift Super Serum: This is probably at least the 6th tube of KORRES 360• Eye-Lift Super Serum that I’ve used up. I love this …

Since we’re already in May, I better hustle along and post my March empties. This month was a variety of products with no category in the lead. Bath & Body RITUALS The Ritual of Sakura: I’ve used up yet another container of the fabulous Ritual of Sakura shower foam. The delicate scent of sakura …
Since we’re now in April, I need to get busy and post my February empties especially since March’s empties are waiting in the wings. Here’s what I used up in February: Skincare City Beauty UpLift Firming Serum: I didn’t realize that my bottle of UpLift Firming Serum was almost empty. I like to use …
Before I get too far behind in this year’s Project Pan mini-reviews, here’s what I used up in January. Maybe I’ll make my 100 product goal this year! Skincare City Beauty Barrier Rescue Firming Night Cream: If I had to choose my favorite barrier creams, City Beauty Barrier Rescue Firming Night Cream would be …
Whew! Found my empties in my linen closet in a sealed plastic bag. Yay! Now I can finish off Project Pan for 2024 for real and recycle the containers. Here’s what I used up in September: Bath & Body Korres Pure Greek Olive Showergel Olive Blossom: I bought this Korres Olive Blossom shower gel …
I’m still at it, trying to finish up my empties posts. December will be a short one compared to November. I am still missing my May 2024 empties. Oh well, here’s December. Bath & Body Earthly Body Hemp Seed Hand Wash w/ Orange & Eucalyptus Oils: I finished my second bottle of natural Hemp …
Yes, I am behind schedule, but now I am trying to catch up on my empties reviews! I want to tally up the number of products I used up in 2024 so I can go on to 2025. After finishing these mini-reviews, I’ll still have December to do. Ugh. Skincare Empties As usual, skincare …
This is my shortest empties post, probably ever. The September empties post, that I still haven’t published yet, is a big one. In response to a big month, I guess that I didn’t have that many things that were near empty. Plus we went away in October, so I didn’t use up very much. I …
Another month has gone by and I still haven’t done my empties post for May! Soon, soon. But here’s August. Skincare Skincare empties take top billing this month! City Lips: As usual, there’s a new empty City Lips Clear. And I’m on my way to another empty Clear for September. Recommend? Yes, strongly. One …
Though I still haven’t posted my May empties because my website went down in early June, I thought I would do both June and July together while they are fresh in my mind. I’ll do May empties later on. Here’s what I’ve used up this summer. Bath & Body Celestial Body Moon Bath: My friend …
