Scan barcodes, track usage, and never let a product expire. Stashly is the beauty tracker built for makeup lovers and skincare enthusiasts who want to actually use their collection — not just own it. YOUR ENTIRE COLLECTION IN ONE PLACE Add any product in seconds: scan its barcode for instant details, search by brand or name, or enter everything manually. From foundations to fragrances, mascaras to moisturisers — your whole beauty inventory, organised beautifully. EXPIRY & PAO TRACKING Set the Period After Opening for any product and Stashly calculates its exact expiry date automatically. See all upcoming expiries at a glance and receive notifications before things go bad. Finally, a reason to check the little jar symbol on your packaging. LOG EVERY USE Tap Log Use whenever you reach for a product. Track how often you use it, calculate your cost-per-use, and discover which products you actually love — and which have been gathering dust. MULTI-SHADE PALETTE SUPPORT Track every individual shade in your palettes separately — each with its own colour, name, and photo. Watch the hit-pan effect appear on shades you've used up, right from your collection grid. LUCKY WHEEL Can't choose what to use today? Spin the Lucky Wheel and let Stashly decide. For palettes, individual shades appear on the wheel — great for actually working through every single pan in your collection. PROJECT PAN CHALLENGE Join the #ProjectPAN community directly in the app. Set a personal goal — 10 Pan, 20 Pan, 50 Pan or 100 Pan — and track every product and shade you finish. See your progress ring grow, spot neglected products, and celebrate hitting pan.
