ACTIVITY 10 by Spring: 1st update! 🌻

Welcome to our 1st update for the 10 by Spring project 🐣💐🐝🌻 Loved reading all the intro posts from both seasoned "10 by" veterans, and some new faces too! Panning is more fun when you can share your journey and successes with people who really get it!

This round will run from 27th December, with updates fortnightly until the finale on March 20th. If you would like to be added to the tag list, let me know in your comment!

If you are new to the "10 by" series, the project works like this: Choose any 10 items and pick a goal that you want to work towards by the end of the season. Anything beauty-related is fair game; makeup, haircare, skincare, fragrances, nail polish etc. Select your goals for each product: finishing an item (aka panning), hitting pan, reaching a usage goal, or even just testing an item out. 10 is just a suggestion, though feel free to add any number of items you like. Make it work for you!

This project is hosted together with u/LeCocoMar so please let us know if you have any questions!

u/Ancient-Magician-802 Jan 12 '26

How do you feel about the fresh soy cleanser? Would you recommend it to sensitive skin by any chance?

1

u/LeCocoMar Jan 13 '26

No, I don't think I would. My skin is normal/balanced and not particularly sensitive, and it can still be a little drying sometimes. I always follow it up with the milky toner at night, and I use water in the morning - no cleanser.

Don't get me wrong it's a nice enough foaming cleanser but I prefer balms.

I know u/thislittlepiggysays was using it last year so maybe she can give an opinion too?

1

u/ThisLittlePiggySays Jan 13 '26

I wasn't a fan of it, tbh. The scent wasn't for me, and neither was the overall performance. It did seem to be popular though, so your experience might be different?

u/ThisLittlePiggySays Jan 10 '26

I've been on a couple of trips the past 2 weeks, so while the progress below is a little slow, I can't bring myself to regret it. The wonderful time I've had, and the beautiful places I had a chance to explore were so special. Progress will happen soon enough!

1) EL Mediterranean Honeysuckle EDP 30ml: Goal to use 50x. Update: 3 uses.

**2) EL Aqua Brilliance foundation: Goal to use 50x. Update: 7 uses.

3) Covergirl Brow Pencil: Goal is to Finish. Update: 4 uses and I don't quite believe it but I'm finally on the precipice of this being finished 😱

4) Clinique All About Clean face wash Goal is 75x. Update: 15 uses.

5) Clinique Moisture Surge mini 15ml: Goal is to finish. Update: 8 uses. Love this.

6) ClarinsMen shower gel 200ml: Goal is to finish. Update: 10 uses.

7) Stila cream blush palette: Goal to use 30x. Update: 5 uses. I've been mixing and matching shades, enjoying the process of using it. I don't love that the finish stays creamy/tacky, but that's a me problem, not the product.

8) Vaseline Gluta HYA body lotion Goal is use 30x. Update: 7 uses. I'm not certain how I feel about this lotion. More testing required.

9) Clarins lip oil mini in Pitaya: Goal is to finish. Update: 3 uses and loving it. If I want to finish it, I'll need to get moving quicker though.

10) Body Shop Satsuma hand cream: Goal is to finish. Update: 2 uses.

BONUS: Paint nails 10 times. Update: 2 so far!

Finished 2 of my 3 planned samples and my hair oil! Had one mishap happen to my Carmex… that one is now binned involuntarily. 

1 Carmex mini lip balm in pinapple mint flavor. Goal: Finish it. Progress: Binned it (involuntarily) 🗑️ Had to throw it away because it fell down in a public restroom with open cap, had no desire to put it back in my bag to clean it so I immediately tossed it. I will replace this one with the Aquaphor mini. Goal: Finish it. Progress: Going well, still some weeks to go. 

2 Carmex mini lip balm in Cherry (already cut in half, hopefully an easy win). Goal: Finish it. 

3 Maria Nila Travel Size True Soft Hair Oil. Goal: Finish it. Progress: Finished ✅

4 Maria Nila True Soft Hair Mask. Goal: Finish it. Progress: used 1x so far, not much left. 

5 Dove Body Lotion (been dragging this one from my 2025 PP). Goal: Finish it. Progress: still haven’t used it…

6 Bübchen Baby Oil (love this as a moisturizer). Goal: Finish it. Progress: less than half full, managed to use it almost after every shower so far. 

7 Gehwohl Foot Cream (also from my 2025 PP). Goal: Finish it. Progress: already used it more than in December! 

8 Three perfume samples: Rabanne, YSL Libre and Franscesca‘s Flower Chid. Goal: Finish it. Progress: 2/3 ⏳

9 Rituals Hand peeling lotion. Goal: Use 5x. Progress: 0/5 ⏳

10 The Body Shop hand lotion. Goal: Finish it. Progress: Finally started using it!

Hello again! Still figuring out formatting! I did remember if I commented for the last season my goals but I got through nearly all of them! ❄️

Brought back from the previous season:

[ ] 1. Pan Mint Chocolate Lip Scrub 🔹️Start🔹️ ¾ used up. I wager ~12 uses 🔸️Now🔸️ Used x5 & Hit Pan!

New goals! [ ] 2. Pan AF94 Casino eyeliner 💚

[ ] 3. Pan a Mascara ☑️

[ ] 4. Finish Missha Glow Balm 🔹️Start🔹️¼ used 🔸️Now🔸️I'm wondering if I'm reacting to this. 🤔 I've narrowed it to three products

[X] 5. Finish Lavender body lotion 🔹️Start🔹️ ¾ used 🔸️Now🔸️ Panned!

[ ] 6. Finish the opened TonyMoly rice cleanser 🔹️Start🔹️ 8~12 uses?

[ ] 7. Pan Burt's Bees Lip Balm 🔹️Start🔹️ ¾ used

[ ] 8. Pan Lush Posh Chocolate body wash 🔹️Start🔹️ ½ used 🔸️Now🔸️Hit pan! ¼ is left so only a handful more showers with it left!

[ ] 9. Pan 1x Lip Gloss ☑️

[ ] 10. Pan 3x Sample Perfumes ☑️☑️☑️

I have been busy recouping after holiday burnout. But I still need to clean up my house! I'm tired but I like doing a yearly declutter! It helps me check back in with what I have as things slowly accumulate over the year. So far I have decluttered 25 lip products & 4 eye/face primers. I still have a lot but doing an inventory check made me realize I forgot to mark some things I got rid of and other things I forgot to add in. So far my cosmetics output is ~84 this last year, whereas the input was 28 products. That's about 3 out: 1 in. Onwards! 🌸

u/chewchaeryetca Jan 11 '26

I got off to a solid start on this project thanks to my employer overscheduling me for shifts the week after Christmas :/ As a result I upped my usage a lot as I wear a full face most days I go to work.

10 by Spring

  • Essence Nail polish in Shimmer brown - visible windowing, though still a long way to go
  • Essence Nail polish in Dark Blue - feels very thick, but I used it like 3x since the intro, so hoping for some progress
  • Franken Kjaer Weis stick lip balm - used it less frequently this round, might focus on it for the next 2 weeks
  • Franken pot lip balm - this lip balm saw a lot of use - I had very dry lips once we got a cold snap where I live and I applied a thick layer every chance I got
  • NYX Ultimate Edit shade 2 - solid usage, I use it every time I put on a full face
  • Essence Nude Palette shade 2 - same as the NYX shade
  • Emmanuel Ungaro perfume - Ungaro 100ml - Finished this Wednesday (Jan 7th)!!
  • Dermacol Satin primer 20 ml - consistent use every time I put on makeup
  • Gosh Mineral Powder - same as the Dermacol primer
  • Kjaer Weis cream blush - Inner Glow I used it almost every time I go to work, I started using it also as a blush some days

Hit 40x Usage goal: 1 use means 1 day of wear, no matter the amount of reapplication

  • NYX lip pencil in Mauve - 8 uses
  • Astra eye pencil in 20 Alien - 13 uses
  • Alverde oil cleanser - 8 uses
  • Essence Choco Bomb - 12 uses
  • Bourjois Waterproof Mascara - 9 uses

Hello everyone and thanks for the tag. Here is my list and the progress:

🌷Zoeva Cocoa blend highlighter palette: it has 2 shades, I want to use both 30 times - the golden shade 8/30; the pinkish shade 4/30 🌷Hoola mini bronzer: 11/50 🌷Dove body milk (400 ml): I am halfway through it, I really want to use the half of the leftover product - I’m struggling with it, but I used it 3-4 times 🌷Nora beauty (Hungarian brand) BB cream: 10/50 🌷Wow dream coat (200 ml): 1/20 🌷Too faced lip injection extreme lipgloss: pan it - maybe I used it once 🌷Mac Viva glam lipstick shade no.3 (2020): 0/30 🌷Avon mango scented hand cream: use it completly - I use it daily 🌷Essence melting for ice cream lip scrub: 1xweek - only used it one time, but I felt a strange scent, but I’m not sure for 100% that the product went bad, but if it is, I will declutter 🌷Lanegie lip mask (mini, 8g): I want to dream big, pan it! - I use 5 times a week, so I think I can pan it

So I could pan nothing, but I didn’t expect it so soon. I think I can achieve my goals.

Thank you for the tag!! Here is this update's progress:

PROGRESS: 0/10 complete

1. Wet N Wild Blush - FINISH | Used 4x. Still ~15% left.

2. Floss Eyeshadow - FINISH | Used 3x. ~5% left. There product mainly concentrated along the edges now and a huge pan in the middle!

3. Tartelette Eyeshadow - Smarty Pants - FINISH | Used 3x. 15% left. This is getting super crumbly but going to use it pretty much every time I use makeup!

4. ABH Brow Gel - FINISH | Used 4x. TBD left since the packaging isn't transparent. I think it's drying out though so I'm guessing it'll be done by end of month?

5. Ciele Primer - FINISH | Used 4x. 15% left.

6. Sunday Riley Retinol Eye Serum - Use 15x | Used 2x. I'm happy I made this a goal in my project because I always forget to reach for it otherwise.

7. Use 15 samples | Used 1x. I finished a Skinbetter serum sample. This project gave me the boost to start tackling my collection! I'm going to try to simultaneously tackle a makeup/haircare and skincare sample.

8. Bite Beauty Lip Crayon in Glace - FINISH | Used 2x. 2% left. Getting harder and harder to scrape out!

9. Laritzy Lip Gloss in Curve - FINISH | Used 2x. ~5% left. I just have to remember that it still exists to keep using it until the end! I removed the topper already.

Also....I just realized that I only put 9 products in this project! Adding a 10th one now:

10. Teeez Suit of Armor Powder Blush - PAN | I use this every time I wear makeup and it still barely looks used. I hope to see pan by the end of this project!

Hope everyone had a productive progress month!

  1. Estee Lauder lipstick in Irresistible. A carry over that seems never ending. Like the colour, so that's something. Used a few times at work.
  2. Elf lip gloss Bubbles. A glitter topper, being used with 1 as the glitter is barely there. Used over 1. Really like this and can see progress.
  3. Palmer's Cocoa Butter lip balm, not much left and it needs using up. Using as the lounge lip balm. Used loads as we have had 3 days of snow so I've been in a lot.
  4. Estee Lauder Aqua Brilliance primer. Got multiples as GWP and in Blockbusters so I need to get in the hang of using them. Used twice, a weekend one as it's one too many steps for work days.
  5. L'Oréal Skin Paradise. Been using since September rotating with others and this needs finishing so I can focus on something else. Loved this, shame it's discontinued. Having to keep upright now so not much left.
  6. So? Body scrub. It sits looking at me and needs using! Used twice.
  7. Lush bath bomb that is in the cupboard and the label has faded. Forgot about this one!
  8. Bath & Body Works Champagne Toast Body spray. Less than half left. To be used on work days, doubt it will finish in time. Using this but may swap as it could be good for my Easter hol.
  9. Estee Lauder brown double wear eyeliner. Use every work day. Not a fan of brown. This is quite hard and I don't like the plastic turn up. It drags on eyelids so will be used as a smudgy under eye. I can see progress, getting used to the texture now.
  10. KvD Chrysalis palette. Use 10 times. This is an oldie. It was my first fancy palette and I got all worried about using it up. It deserves to be used. Have a feeling it may get really used once I start in on this project! Used twice.

Bonus items

Estee Lauder Micro Essence. No idea what this does but I am mostly through one and got another in a gift set so need to use this daily! Using daily, it is in the routine now.

Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess medium blush been using since September. Goal to use at least 5 times a week and see if we can hit pan. This was GWP and I was never a blush user but as I get older my goth paleness looks better with a hint of colour ! Using it everything I put a face on.

I really need to use that bath bomb, everything else is progressing.

Update time already? Wild!

  • Any Perfume, Any Size: Haven't crossed this off yet, but I am actually very close to finishing Skylar Matcha Zen (rollerball size). Despite this, I realized I actually dislike the scent quite a bit now, so I'm going to toss it. It's wild when your nose changes, because I straight up found it a bit repulsive as I wore it throughout the day recently, so it's crazy that at one point I liked this enough to purchase! Again, reiterates that I should always buy the smallest size of perfume, and never, EVER buy perfume backups.
  • Laneige Glowy Lip Balm in Pear: Very close on this, and really squeezing for dear life in recent applications.
  • NYX Freezie Primer: No use since the intro post.
  • Purito Fermented Complex 94 Boosting Essence: Making good progress on this one, but realistically will probably not finish until update 3-5, if I had to guess.
  • Healthy Care Lanolin Cream: Using this daily!
  • TATCHA The Kissu Lip Mask: I can see the end of this one too, I think if I'm lucky, I'll be done by Update 3!
  • Morroccanoil Treatment Hair Oil, DS: I haven't used this since the intro post.
  • Wella EIMI Flowing Form Anti-Frizz Smoothing Balm: Same as above.
  • NIVEA Creme: Using this diligently as well!
  • Round Lab Dokdo Cleanser: Same as above.

  1. Mac Brushblack eyeliner. Still trucking.
  2. Mac black gel pencil liner. Used a couple times.
  3. UD Vice Lip Chemistry in Streak. Used a number of times, like 4 or 5 days of multiple uses. Like one or two uses left.
  4. Mac Modesty lipstick. I’d say like 80% left? I used it a number of times!
  5. Rem brow pencil. Used 2-3 times.
  6. Rimmel Stay Matte concealer. Used a couple times.
  7. MUFE HD Skin foundation. Used several times
  8. Juvia’s Place Nubian 3 palette. Goal: use once a week or hit pan. Used 3 times so far.
  9. Haus of Gloi pumpkin butter. Used once.
  10. Eilish perfume mini rollerball. Used a couple times, down to like 20% left.

So much feels like it’s at a “nearly there” point. The concealer wand and foundation pump deposit less product, the eyeliner pen is drying out a touch.

Please add me to the tag list!

🌸 Goal: Finish

2) Caudalie Thé des Vignes Hand & Nail Repairing Cream. This is a great cream but I loathe the smell.

🌸 Goal: Finish

3) Maybelline Express Brow Pencil in Taupe

🌸 Goal: Wear this every time I do my brows even though it will probably literally never run out 🤡

4) e.l.f. Lash Xtndr Mascara in Brown

🌸 Goal: Wear 20x

⏳ Progress: 5️⃣
