OK, let's do this! It's time to clear out & declutter my makeup collection!
It's something I've been wanting to do for a while now, but I never got around to it and I just kept buying more makeup and piling everything up.
I know that makeup has an expiration date and passed a certain point it can go bad. Using old makeup can cause allergies and make more bad than good on your face.
I also started wondering: "Why do I need a makeup collection in the first place?
What am I going to do with it?"
I'm not a makeup artist and using up a makeup product takes awhile and considering the amount of makeup that I currently have, I cannot possibly use it in a lifetime, even if I wore makeup every single day (which I don't, especially since I became a Mum, these days I use makeup maybe once or twice a week and I cut it down to only a few essentials that really work well for me!)
The Youtube beauty community, social influencers, advertisements and trends are all big enablers and took me down a path of consumerism. So, I finally decided I wanted it to stop.
I'm not becoming a minimalist, I just want to be more conscious. Before making any new purchase, I want to ask myself twice, do I really want and need this product?
Before I started youtube/ blogging, I had only one makeup case and all my makeup could fit into it. Those products worked well on my face, I loved using them and I was making the most out of them.
Years after, I find myself with a whole chest of drawers full of makeup items! That's just not realistic, it's a waste of money and a waste of products.
So I decided to get started by getting rid of all my old or unused lipsticks and lip glosses.
