Between saving my $$ and buying more products! Sometimes I'm almost embarassed by how much I have...I could never really use it all... yet I still want more! Anyone else have this crazy problem????

Oh yes I know exactly what you're talking about. I was spending $100-$300 per month on makeup! I started the 10 Pan Project in July which I refer to as Makeup Rehab. I have one more product to use up before I can buy anything.

I have to say that this project has helped me a lot. It was so hard in the beginning to "not buy" but as the months have gone by, it's gotten easier and it's made me realize that I don't need every makeup item under the sun.

Don't get me wrong, I am still an addict, but I can say that the addiction is under control now. LOL!!!

My good friend, who's also makeup obsessed, tried the Pan Project and it really helped her too... maybe I should try it too!

It's definitely a challenge at first, but worth it!! Good luck! Keep us all posted if you try it!

I'm like Jackee....went through "rehab" almost two years. (no 10 Pan Project...it was more like "hubby threatening to take my debit card away project"). I committed to using something up before purchasing something else and I promised that if I didn't have a space to store it in, I wouldn't buy it. When I first started "rehab", I gave a lot of makeup to my daughter, mother and a couple of girlfriends. I was blown away by how much stuff I had that I never used. It did free up a lot of storage space for me so I decided that I was no longer going to stock things up in my linen closet, under cabinets, my nightstand and (don't judge) my husband's nightstand. I have a "makeup" area set up in my closet and since I'm not hiding makeup anywhere else, it's helped me from so much compulsive buying. If I don't have a space for it, I'm less likely to purchase it. (I say "less likely" cause I'm guilty of buying YET ANOTHER blush just the other day and had to rearrange a few things to stick that blush in my organizer). It's tough to go through makeup rehab...but there are several of us recovering junkies....so you can do it too. Good luck!
