In which I continue starting to get my life together and tackle the task of decluttering all the lipsticks I brought with me abroad to Italy!
If you read this post by any chance, you’re probably aware that I made some makeup resolutions for 2018 which included minimizing my buying, decluttering, and stepping out of my comfort zone when it comes to color. Today I actually started my more minimalistic makeup journey by tackling the second item on that list: decluttering.
I basically took all of my makeup out category by category and asked myself if I needed each individual product, getting rid of anything that didn’t really “spark joy” in me a la the KonMari Method. I filmed the whole thing, and if you missed it (or just want to watch me suffer again), be sure to check out Part 1 where I decluttered everything besides lipstick. Since the lipstick portion ended up being really long, I said I was going to make a separate video, and I have actually delivered… here’s Part 2.
Liquid lipsticks are my babies so this was the hardest “category” of makeup to declutter, but I managed to get rid of a few, which was huuuge for me. As I’ve said previously, this is the “abbreviated” version of my collection since 70% of my makeup is at my home in the US, so it’ll be reaaaaally interesting once I get home in the summer to do a full declutter/purge of my entire collection! *gasp*

Well done!
It’s hard letting go of products, but sometimes you just have to!

Thank you!! I’ve been holding on to so many products for so long with the excuse that I was going to try them, but the reality was that I was just never actually going to do that – they’re much better off with friends of mine who will actually get use out of them!
