Decluttering & Organizing My ENTIRE Makeup Collection

🤍🤍🤍

On the miracle balm maybe putting it in a smaller jar would help? Not saying you gotta keep it by any means lol but when I have a large product I put it in travel jars. It makes it more attainable for me to finish!

I put washi tape over a foundation label that peels. My fav mascara is cover girl. I’m on a makeup no buy, I have some wishlist items but also things I want to pan first. Great video!

Christina. I needed this exact video today.. thank you for being a voice of reason and motivation in this space 🤝💛

Put a piece of tape around the Charlotte Tilbury bottle to keep it from flaking

For the charlotte tilbury product you can wipe it with some nail polish remover, the letters will come right off. Hope that helps.

Not that this format wasn't great but I like when you put them category by category on the table together and then you declutter. I think the visuals of all of it together is better. So it's like you see how many in one category like 4 eyeshadows, 3 mascaras lol. The flat lay makes me feel happier lol. But still adore you.

Yes there is a small version of Giorgio Armani foundation. It’s the perfect size for me because I use Pat McGrath foundation daily. I pump only a tiny bit out and spread with my fingers. So thin and skin lightweight!

If your eyeshadow breaks, you can pour a little alcohol in the package and mix the broken pieces together; then let evaporate. It happened to my Stila Kitten eyeshadow - I dropped the little pot, and it shattered into several pieces. Did the alcohol mix and it went back together.

The armani foundation have a mini version in sephora or their website.

I love the mascara from Victoria Beckham Beauty, actually all the products from that line! I’ve also heard great things about the Gucci mascara but haven’t tried it yet

My fav mascara is Clinique High Impact.

Yes, Luminous Silk foundation is one of the few that comes in a mini size with the complete shade range.

😊

Tubing mascaras are my absolute favorite. Victoria Beckham, Clinique and Kevyn Aucoin my favorites. MOB beauty has become my brand of choice for all face products. They are phenomenal

How refreshing to see a content creator's makeup declutter that (I would consider) entails a fairly "normal" quantity of items!
VS "come declutter my 400 lipsticks with me" haha! Thank you Christina!

I feel like I'm the only person on this planet that likes the JR Miracle Balm. I have three!

I simplified years ago and love it. Although I’ll confess I am drying to try more products! (RMS is on my list for sure. So curious about Jones Road. Definitely wan to to try the Merit blush.) I try to keep to a rule of not buying a new one until the old one is used up/expired/etc. I have it down to SPF or tinted SPF depending on how I feel. Concealer (currently using the Nars creamy concealer and do use it with my fingers.) Eye shadow stick (Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier or even Elf). Some sort of stick/cream blush (currently using an LA Girl, it is just ok.) Mascara (always on the look out for another. Currently loving a Tarte mascara but want to try the Elf Lash extender tubing mascara.) And finally lip in Cover Girl Outlast in 549-amazing how a lip brings the natural-but-better all together. I have a lot of Bare Minerals mineral veil and Original formula left. I used to use them all the time but lately feel like they are settling into my lines. I am a lot older than you. 😊. I love your videos. I started with you way back to get the reviews of what clothes you were buying but have adored your debt/budget journey. You go girl!!!!❤❤❤🎉

Blush twins! I love the Merit flushbalm in Stockholm. Its been my daily for the last couple of months. I've had RMS Beachwalk Betty on my wishlist for a while, but I'm hesitant to get it without trying it out, and its not in stores around here.

I have fair skin like you and I ❤the Makeup by Mario Skin Enhancer in light too! It’s the perfect about of warmth for very light skin. Mine looks a mess too 😂 and I have a backup! It’s the only bronzer I have used that I actually like because it’s so natural and adds just enough to enhance the skin just like the name 😉

my favourite mascara is Caliray. it’s a tubing, as i have oily lids. no raccoon eyes anymore :)

I wish I just had a bag full of stuff snd not a room full of stuff.

These are my favorite videos from you!!! Can you do skincare next?!

They do make the Armani foundation in a smaller size!

One in, one out. I have one of everything, even lip products (one lipstick, one tinted balm, one clear gloss). I used to have a massive collection but I found I was only using my favourite items so I gave away what I wasn’t using. It’s so much easier to do my makeup now.

For the packaging that rubs off, try putting some clear coat nail polish over it or wrapping it in washing tape. It should protect your fingers from the transfer.

One of the best things that I did recently after I had a ton of make up accrued was that I actually booked an appointment with a makeup artist who went through my entire collection of make up and she was able to tell me what I had that really wasn’t the best colours For my skin tone and hair and complexion and which makeup products were better for my skin type at this point now that I’m getting older and my skin texture is changing a little bit. She also showed me how to use the products that I had properly in terms of placement and how to start with a basic routine and build up from there if I wanted to go fancier without having to add in additional products. She really paired down my make up to a much more manageable level

One more time for Christina and all those in the back: if you don’t love it, it doesn’t matter what others think about a product/item. If you’re on the fence about it, why not just pass on to someone who will love it?

A blush/lip tip! If you use a powder blush, buy a lip balm in clear. Dip your lip balm in the blush and apply. Instant match! Im no help on mascara, Im still in search of a favorite. Just started a tube of Tarte Maneater, jury still out.

Another minimal makeup 💄 tip use eyeshadow as highlighter !

You have inspired me to go through my makeup to declutter as well. Thank you for your product suggestions. I have been moving towards cream products myself and appreciate your comments. Thank you for a great video!

❤ love it!

Keep the saie luminizer and add it to your body lotion! It’s beautiful on legs!

Auric makes a dupe of the Tom Ford cream shadows! Also, I think a cotton pad with rubbing alcohol would take off the rest of the text on the CT Hollywood flawless filter so you don't have to deal with that! If that doesn't work, then nail polish remover (carefully). But it's unideal that it's a problem at all!

Thank you so much, Christina. I will absolutely join your "Project Pan"

That was a fun video. I decluttered my makeups the other day, mostly just eye shadow pallets I decluttered bc the colors were similar and formulas were better in other pallets. I get stuck on keeping makeup for Halloween haha. 😊 Everyday use is very little to none.

Loved the video. I did a make up declutter several months ago and feel liberated! I also liked your review of the products. One suggestion, maybe when opening and closing the products back them away from the mic. All the clicking and clacking distracted me so could only listen for a few minutes at a time.

Elizabeth Arden mascara , Just love it .
You can get it black or brown. And it's got a curved brush.

the luminous silk foundation has a mini size

Thank you for this video. Makeup (skincare too) is something that I buy without really thinking, which leads to a ton of products that go unused. I like the point you made that when you purchase a product, make sure you know exactly how and when you are going to use it. I really need to improve and create a plan for only buying what I need. My bathroom cabinet has a tendency to look like a shelf at Walgreens, and my makeup collection often rivals an old school beauty you-tuber haul. It is becomes exhausting. You have inspired me!!❤

Came to say what a few others have…I miss the Tom Ford eyeshadows too but I’m enjoying Auric as a great alternative.

For your charlotte tilbury flawless filter problem. May i suggest just taking some rubbing alcohol and wiping off the words

Tarte lights, camera, lashes mascara is the best mascara I have used in ages. No flaking. Goes on easy. Easy to remove. 😊

I really enjoy a thoughtful declutter of a ‘modest’ collection of makeup. It helps me to evaluate my own purchasing choices.

The RMS Living Luminizer is a bit goth, it should be called the undead luminizer.

To sufficiently declutter, I need to shake the feeling of guilt. I am not wealthy, yet I used overconsumption of makeup products in the past for instant gratification when I was feeling sad or stressed. Sometimes I had to skip dinner to afford these purchases, so now it saddens me to just throw them away, even if they are collecting dust.

For that red text on the bottle that keeps peeling off, couldn’t you put some sticker or sticky tape over it? 😊

Fantastic timing -- I hit 2 pans this morning! I tend to buy products I want while they're on sale and store them as backups until I need them, but I try to not have more than 2 backups at a time (like 2 mascaras, for example.) I feel like I've really hit my stride with my makeup this year, so it's easier to avoid and declutter what's not my vibe. I haven't found favorites in some categories so that's where I'm struggling most right now.

Recently I get rid of an expired mascara and eyebrow gel. Also a handful of nail polish. I only have one eyeshadow palette that I rarely use, maybe this video is my sign to start using it. Love the concept and until the next video 😊
