Nah girl this is NOT out of control. You should see my drawers haha! you are doing great love! all you need is less but good quality, just like everything else in life. Enjoy what makes you happy and beautiful : )
I know exactly how you feel when you start buying again, I'm a reformed nail polish hoarder. I had several thousand bottles at one point and then I went on a no buy for like 4 or 5 years where I only repurchased base or topcoat. I've decluttered down to almost exactly 100 bottles now which feels fantastic. I allowed myself to buy a few new bottles and it felt... weird. I have to admit I had to cut myself off again because I felt the urge to do a haul come back, I felt the urge to justify "just one more." So just be aware that it could potentially happen. Set firm boundaries for yourself, like allow yourself to buy that one red lipstick and the powder highlight and then that's it. Or I recommend waiting a little bit and buy those two items later, you don't necessarily have to do all your shopping in one go so that it feels like the hauls you used to do back in the day. Spread it out and normalize what it feels like to buy one item. I used to never just buy one bottle of nail polish, I always justified it that it was cheaper when you include shipping if you bought more than one, but these days I remind myself that nail polish bottles don't have feelings, they don't need a buddy to travel with, they can travel alone, haha!
Traveling alone hahah - I will have to remember that 😄 Thank you for this thoughtful comment, I love hearing about your journey! It's definitely unexpected that starting to shop again would be the hard part, but I think you are so right on going ahead carefully - I did end up buying a powder highlight (no red lipstick yet, but maybe soon) and I am happy it did not trigger any more "I'll just look to see what else is new in store", as I had a real problem with "just one here and there". It's such a fascinating experience, always a new lessons to learn!
I would recommend Nars Fort de France for powder highlighter. It gives a lovely wet look without being overly glittery. Buy a mini if you can…it lasts forever.
For subtle powder highlighter I recommend the Hourglass Strobe Lighting Powder in Incandescent, the mini one will last you for a very long time, it’s good for a 12M after opening. In my Sephora there’s only that one shade available in mini size but online should be more. 😊
I know excactly what you are talking about in the end of the video! I did a year long makeup no buy back in 2019. It was way easier to not buy anything than allow myself to purchase little something here and there.
I love seeing how much thought goes into purchasing something and if you want it, you want it! So happy to see a new video from you, especially after I recently decluttered some of my own makeup and can totally relate lol. Bought a blush I didn’t need but totally wanted, and it makes me so happy to have that new addition, even thought technically I already had two others 😊
Oooh I love hearing that, and I think you are spot on! It's OK to have the odd unnecessary item, because they no longer make up 90% of my collection. They bring so much more joy this time around 🥰
I'm usually bad at hoarding stuff. But watching minimalism videos is helping me declutter somewhat. I've just started wearing make-up again. But I'm having to tell myself that I don't need lots of it. To keep my compulsion to buy too much under control
Watching minimalism videos help me as well! And I found the actually buying makeup again a bit difficult, where to draw the line and so on. Thank you for sharing and here's to us keeping it under control 😄
Yay so happy to see a makeup video from you! ❤️❤️❤️Hourglass is so worth the money though. I bought Ray based on your recommendation and I would definitely repurchase. Hands down the best one and done eyeshadow ever.
And yes to the red lipstick! I remember watching your video on the nars matte lip pencil and when you tried on Cruella it was just *chef’s kiss* Red lipstick looks soooo good on you and makes your beautiful blue eyes stand out even more.
Ahh thank you, that's so lovely of you to share! 💖 I really appreciate your comments 🥰 And you are absolutely right, that eyeshadow is so wildly underrated!
Me declutter then buy 😢 again then declutter..😅 buy again new make up items. I guess it's called passion for makeup 😂 I guess it's ok cause it keeps us happy when we get ready for make up. Also somehow or rather it gives that confidence of being well dressed.😊😊😊

Haha, thank you 🥰💖 So true, less but better is absolutely the way to go!

Omg I am beyond excited to see this video appear in my notifications 😍😍😍
Ahhh you're too sweet! 🥰💖💖

Great tip, thank you! I'll have a look at it next time I'm by Nars 😍

It's my year-round favourite corporate-suitable highlight!
Oh this is a fab suggestion, thank you! I will definitely have a look for it 🥰
LOVED this video!! Maybe you can do a true makeup tutorial please of your everyday makeup routine ??😍🥺

Ah it's good to know it's not just me! ❤️ It's a strange realization, but very interesting on the way to find balance.
