Thank you for always having something new for us to watch! your channel is one of the few places I know I leave in a happier mindset. Just appreciating you so much!
I just did this same thing! I found some great clear organizers at Aldi and really cleared out some stuff that I had not used in a long time. Feels so good to have just the stuff I am using on the regular. Now I need to be better about cleaning my brushes 😊
I love hearing which products are on your desk and why! I can't wait for the powder declutter video! Maybe a makeup declutter series is in store for January/February? Emily Ley with Simplified always says to keep the best, favorite, and necessary. Another great Emily I enjoy learning from :)
Love this style of video! Just wanted to let you know that I’ve been paying attention to and practicing on myself the way you do your eyeshadow. And I was finally able to accomplish it! Especially the patting motion on the outer eye and turning the brush over in the crease. I thought that would never work on my droopy eyelids but it does. As long as I pat some shadow on the fold as well. It gives my eyes a lifted effect! I normally end up with a dramatic outer V that I’m not crazy about but doing your technique really gives my eyes a more sophisticated youthful lifted eyes! Thank you so much! Just wanted to share😊❤️💄
Happy Thursday!!! 😊❤I wanted to ask you if you'd ever do a video about declutters /reorganising :your views on it, ideas and suggestions how to do it. There's a lot of content out there but it often seems very emotionally charged or unbalanced where people declutter too much /unthinking, nothing at all or because they feel overwhelmed/stressed, confuse throwing make up away w some sort of catharsis/changing habits, trying to be minimalist or the declutter only being applicable for influencers who bring in tons of things /archive items. I never see videos where someone who really loves make up, has a lot of make up knowledge, actually uses their make up etc gives level headed, good advice for the normal person of how one can approach/manage their make up, when to declutter, how to organise. You're the only person on YT I think would be competent to give helpful tips 😊
Thank you for your kind words! I've done some declutters here on YT - and I totally know what you mean about the "influencer declutters" where it almost feels like it's a monstrous declutter just for views. One way I really like to do it, is a "last chance" type of video (I've done a handful of these), where you do a full face of products that you're considering getting rid of, but in the application process, it allows you to really consider whether it's a keeper or not, and gives a great deal more info to the viewers. That's currently my favorite way to go about it. Although sometimes a certain section of my makeup needs a very focused declutter (like my powder drawer) - and for that, I'd probably go category by category within that section of products, seeing what I could possibly let go of. And just a general tip... I think shopping your stash frequently is important. Staying in tune with everything you have, not just the latest & greatest.
Great advice Em! I LOVE going back in your content and rewatching from the beginning! 😊 Brings me so much joy to see you grow as a person and as a family over the years. I've probably done it 4 or 5 times now and it NEVER gets old!! 🥰
Tgat was so much fun, Emily, thank you! It's fun to see some of the same things we've had for years and I love your emphasis on organization rather than just, "decluttering". Really fun
I have thoroughly enjoyed this video Emily. Your reviews of products as you clean are so very helpful. Thank you very much and we love you too Emily.🥰❤💖💗💗💜✌🏵🌹🥀🌺🌺💐🪴
Wow, I love this type of video! I could listen to you do this all day long. It's so relaxing to have a feeling of cleaning up and also learning about a bunch of different products and hearing your tips on how to use them. So perfect😍 Great idea Em! ❤
I really enjoyed this style video. I am on vacation and still watch you. I would appreciate a video of your new prayer journal and Devotional for this year.❤
My desk also seems to get like this when I’m not paying attention and always in a hurry. It’s bad right now and you’ve inspired me to go clean it while I watch and listen.
Emily, I watch your videos multiple times a week they’re so relaxing and informative. I wanted to suggest if you could do a background change once in a while maybe a different angle. I’d also love to see videos with your kids/kittens! Thanks 🩷
Hi Emily. Love a good organized space. Makes the creative process flow. I would love to see a full face of Laura Geller products. I’ve been looking at the balance and brighten foundation but unsure is it should buy it. I really want to be more intentional with my purchases and stop buying every new thing that comes out. Thanks
I scored the Laura Geller face palette on Ipsy for $20 after seeing you review it. I’m so excited because I have liked my Laura Geller baked blushes. Thanks for putting this beautiful brand on my radar.
I needed this video so bad!! I'm in the process of decluttering and organizing my makeup space and I have lost all motivation! But I have to get it cleared out because I have a baby coming in 3 1/2 weeks and need the space!
Emily, your makeup always looks so good. I'm a makeup wearer (and I love the daily ritual) but I have deep set eyes, mature, saggy skin, blah blah, so I can't exactly replicate what you do, but your videos do inspire me to be a bit more adventurous. Thank you so much for being you. Happy New Year!
Have you ever done a "how I clean my tools" video? From the sponges, to the brushes to the powder puffs? I've read general instructions but I'd like to see how a professional does it. 😊
I would like you to make a video like one you made years ago, in which you put different products from each category in a bag, and without seeing, you took out a product and with that you made the makeup. I remember that I really enjoyed that video, it was exciting, greetings! I have been following you for many years, since a video of something that was used in your hair to make it look lifted, it was long, long before you had your babies. just that it was from another account that I no longer use, your voice is very relaxing. xoxo
You've inspired me to clean my vanity! Also inspired all the Laura Gellar pallets!😂 I also got the LG powder foundation, but I'm not sure I'm using it right hmm 🤔? Happy New Year ❣️
Is it perhaps time to go through the collection for discontinued products? I so appreciate you taking the time to only show us pieces we can potentially purchase to recreate a look. Giving someone else the chance to play with makeup is pretty awesome too!
Hey Emily! Am very happy to have seen some new lippies - especially the Hard Candy Lip Melt balms and the beautiful Merit Fox blush balm. More things to spend money on... you bad girl! Thanks for the video!
Please take this as construtive criticism because I love you and your content. It would be more satisfying to see this type of video as you clear your actually desk. I just love organization videos. Love you!
Emily, could you maybe do a video answering to questions of your subscribers about makeup, and showing us those products in action? For example, my question would be: best lip stain thats not expensive and doesnt dry your lips or peel weirdly.
❤ Emily, I just really love your whole face and especially the lighter shades! You look so put together and refreshed! Hate to declutter. I feel for you. When are going to do a hard-core declutter? Out with the hardpan, dried creams, ect. Now, I would love to see you do that for the New Year! Reason being you have alot!!!! Don't forget your powders..😂 Your the best show in town. Happy 24🎉
I really enjoyed this video. I have a huge collection of make up, maybe not as large as yours but probably close. I have my everyday favorites but I also try to have a basket of want to use. Sometimes I change it every other month. But often it's more seasonal. TFS
I really liked the wet and wild Essence. I went through it and didn’t repurchase because I thought the price was a little bit high for the amount and brand but it was really nice!
Hey Emily! This made me think of a possible video idea you could look at doing. Products or items whose packaging you appreciate and why ( like the Essence Lip Liners slanted cap top, easy to see) and products whose packaging you don't care for and why ( like the bulky CG primer).......I would love that! Happy New Year from Canada!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video today!! I have been struggling mightily lately with clutter and disorganization (lots of paperwork and "stuff". I have been working hard on it and making excellent progress the past few days, but I think I overdid it. OUCH!! Right now my back is spasming. I am lying on my heating pad (90/90, writing this on my phone). Oh well. Like my WWII Navy veteran dad said decades ago, "No one forced you to join THE MARINES!! DOGGONE JARHEADS!!" ❤😂🎉 I struggle every day with balancing self care, work, my ability to focus and pay attention (chronic pain and ADHD) and taking BREAKS for my back and body pain. You and your videos are such a blessing to me! You provide a wonderful distraction!! You are a big part of my daily "self care"! Thank you so much for your optimism, kindness, honesty, and integrity!! You are a real blessing, Sweetie! This old Marine thanks you!! ❤❤❤
Great video that pushed me to start my own declutter. One question...have you ever tried the Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose Setting and Finishing powder? It is something special. I have dry mature skin and it never settles into lines or look cakey and dry. It is pricey but a container lasts forever AND it comes in a mini size too. 😊❤️
Oh girl.. this has been a topic of discussion here lol, I need to do this too 😂💕 and I took notes of things I want to try.. Thank you and I appreciate you!! ♥️
Hey there and Happy Thursday! I am looking for videos on hooded or textured eyelids. Every eyeshadow doesn't always work for me due to these issues from weight loss and age. LOL, I would love to hear any suggestions if anyone has them! 🎉❤
Hey Em, fun video. Quick question I've been meaning to ask you - Do you like Laura Gellar eyeshadows? I never heard about or seen them used. I found & bought my 1 st ever LG product , an eyeshadow pallet at T.J. Maxx for $7. It had a shade "Heather" , my name that help sell me. Lol.
That was fun! Makes me feel better about my mess and inspired to do something about it. Reminder…..you want to do a powder declutter. Too soon? 😂 TFS! 💜
Emily, what do you know about Saint cream makeup? I have been watching the Saint tutorials for mature women skin. There is so many makeup videos out there. I don’t know anything about the products. I love the video you did on drug store products. I have learned a lot about makeup. Thank you.
Hi Emily❤🎉 I wanted to do a video request of you being like Ask Miss Amy, if you remember that stuff from Newspapers. Like, someone writes you in a question and you give some detailed response, and build a full face? Maybe all around a certain theme!
I’m happy to know I’m not the only one who’s makeup counter looks like this 😂 I have a tiny bathroom counter and it ends up getting swallowed by all my products 😂
One of the major differences between myself now and myself in the 2010s is I don’t force myself to do anything but neutral eyeshadow looks. I very rarely buy eye palettes anymore because how many neutral palettes do I need?
Hello Emily!! I’m LOVING the larger splash of color on your eyes. So pretty… ps…is it too soon to do a Marilyn Monroe “look” again with the same products you received. We loved it!! Maybe around Valentines Day?? Hugs from north of Seattle, Carla Marie ❤️
This would be a great weekly series! Clean and chat!!
I love that idea!
Thank you for always having something new for us to watch! your channel is one of the few places I know I leave in a happier mindset. Just appreciating you so much!
Thank you!! I'm so glad you feel that way :)
I could not agree more

oh I love hearing this!! Thank you for sharing-- I love hearing how the techniques work on others! :D
Good evening from Scotland! Loving the lavender pop on the eyes ❤

I can't stand declutter videos and won't watch them. It seems so wasteful.
This was exactly the organization video I needed to chill out after a long week and paint my toenails by!! More like this please!
Tgat was so much fun, Emily, thank you! It's fun to see some of the same things we've had for years and I love your emphasis on organization rather than just, "decluttering". Really fun
Go from chaos to neat and clean is such a good feeling. Good Job!
I love seeing the other products you've been using lately. Also, that I'm not alone with having a messy makeup desk.
Hi Emily! Love your eye look today (well, everyday) but especially today! 💜💜
thank you!!
I DID enjoy this video. It's nice to know others struggle with keeping the top of the desk clean! 😜😛😁 Mine is a mess!
I have thoroughly enjoyed this video Emily. Your reviews of products as you clean are so very helpful. Thank you very much and we love you too Emily.🥰❤💖💗💗💜✌🏵🌹🥀🌺🌺💐🪴
Wow, I love this type of video! I could listen to you do this all day long. It's so relaxing to have a feeling of cleaning up and also learning about a bunch of different products and hearing your tips on how to use them. So perfect😍 Great idea Em! ❤
Hi Emily! How are you doing today? I am prepping dinner and here you are to keep me company! Thank you so much 😊 I love “hanging out” with you 😁💗
Doing well!! So glad you're here. This video was actually very satisfying to do! :D
I really enjoyed this style video. I am on vacation and still watch you. I would appreciate a video of your new prayer journal and Devotional for this year.❤
My desk also seems to get like this when I’m not paying attention and always in a hurry. It’s bad right now and you’ve inspired me to go clean it while I watch and listen.
Love to see declutter/cleaning videos! Thanks, Emily!
Those eyes!! Love! Your eye makeup is always beautiful but when I first say this look 👀 it just stopped me love love it
Emily, I watch your videos multiple times a week they’re so relaxing and informative. I wanted to suggest if you could do a background change once in a while maybe a different angle. I’d also love to see videos with your kids/kittens! Thanks 🩷
Perfect lunch break video! You’re the most authentic creator on RUclips!
aw thank you!
Hi Emily. Love a good organized space. Makes the creative process flow. I would love to see a full face of Laura Geller products. I’ve been looking at the balance and brighten foundation but unsure is it should buy it. I really want to be more intentional with my purchases and stop buying every new thing that comes out. Thanks
I think the rudolph palette has just become my favourite everyday palette, i was using it in the middle of summer. Its just so good
Emily, I enjoy all of your content. You can’t do wrong. You do what you feel like and I’ll watch it!
I just cleaned my vanity too! I’m glad someone else has a messy vanity too!
I love clean makeup and neatly packaged. I clean it every week and wash my brushes
I love these kinds of videos because it motivates me to clean my area and gives me organization ideas! ❤❤❤
Yep! This type of video is a keeper! 😊
Happy new year Emily 🎉 I love the way you blend ur eyeshadow, it always turns out to look like butterfly wings ❤
Ahhh the morning after.. gonna need coffee for this. 😂❤ Happy Birthday Emily! Happy New Year! 🎆
I scored the Laura
Geller face palette on Ipsy for $20 after seeing you review it. I’m so excited because I have liked my Laura Geller baked blushes. Thanks for putting this beautiful brand on my radar.
I totally ordered Laura Gellar after her video as well! The website had so any sales and I'm so glad I got it
I needed this video so bad!! I'm in the process of decluttering and organizing my makeup space and I have lost all motivation! But I have to get it cleared out because I have a baby coming in 3 1/2 weeks and need the space!

Yes I enjoyed watching you go thru your products & giving your opinions on how you still use!
The lilac shadow is pretty
I loved this video! I'd watch a ''seasonal switching of the palettes" too!
I just love your lip combo! I’m adding the Buxom liner to my list!
Super fun to see your cleanup! I need to do the same with my vanity! Eeks! ❤❤❤
Have you ever done a "how I clean my tools" video? From the sponges, to the brushes to the powder puffs? I've read general instructions but I'd like to see how a professional does it. 😊
Loved this video!! Would love to see this type and declutter videos as well. Start with the powder declutter!!! Thanks Em
I love that foundation on you. Your looks flawless.
My merit stick also sits on top of my desk for the exact same reason. It has for sure found its way into my routine
I would like you to make a video like one you made years ago, in which you put different products from each category in a bag, and without seeing, you took out a product and with that you made the makeup.

Yay! Happy New Year Emily. Hope 2024 is a blessed year for you and family.
Thank you! :) Hope you have a great year as well!!
I loved this video. It has motivated me to declutter the disaster zone that is my beauty table.
Is it perhaps time to go through the collection for discontinued products? I so appreciate you taking the time to only show us pieces we can potentially purchase to recreate a look. Giving someone else the chance to play with makeup is pretty awesome too!
I just ADORE YOU, Em 💕💕
Hey Emily! Am very happy to have seen some new lippies - especially the Hard Candy Lip Melt balms and the beautiful Merit Fox blush balm. More things to spend money on... you bad girl! Thanks for the video!
That Rudolph palette is awesome! I use it several times a week.
Emily, that was so much fun! Really enjoyed that!😊
Yes i enjoy everything you do
I want to see what’s in your Alex drawers!!!!❤😊
Ohhhh!!! I can't wait to see the upcoming declutter content! ❤
Happy New Year, Emily! I enjoyed the clean and chat style of this video.
Happy Thursday Emily! I wish my kitchen counter wasn’t as messy right now lol! But first Emily time! ❤
Loved this video! Thanks Emily! ❤
Love this style video. But I love all your videos!
HNY..to you and family..🍾🪅🎇
You are cracking me up.. especially when you show your lip liners..WOW..🤯🫦
Love your channel..🩷

Definitely enjoyed this video. I also need to organize my vanity. My thing is if I don't see, it I forget about it 😂
Love this! Sooo relatable!!!
Hi Emily! This type of video works for me.
❤ Emily, I just really love your whole face and especially the lighter shades! You look so put together and refreshed! Hate to declutter. I feel for you. When are going to do a hard-core declutter? Out with the hardpan, dried creams, ect. Now, I would love to see you do that for the New Year!

Happy New Year Emily 🎉
Happy New year!!
Happy Thursday Emily! We are shade twins so I'm so lucky you try and share your thoughts on so much makeup...I love the eye look! Hugs 🤗❤
I really enjoyed this video. I have a huge collection of make up, maybe not as large as yours but probably close. I have my everyday favorites but I also try to have a basket of want to use. Sometimes I change it every other month. But often it's more seasonal. TFS

I’m happy to know I’m not the only one who’s makeup counter looks like this 😂 I have a tiny bathroom counter and it ends up getting swallowed by all my products 😂
How convenient, I was about to clean my vanity and room and saw this video!
Em, I would love to see you review the new physicians formula products!
Would love to see a video on tips and tricks for cleaning makeup brushes that doesn’t take forever.
Happy Thursday Emily! This video is a good reminder! 😂
All your videos are interesting, Emily!
Loved this!
One of the major differences between myself now and myself in the 2010s is I don’t force myself to do anything but neutral eyeshadow looks. I very rarely buy eye palettes anymore because how many neutral palettes do I need?
I see my favorite foundation in the open shot, L’Oreal Pro Glow.
Hi Emily, Happy New Year! Where is your black sparkly shirt from it is SO pretty!
0:07 so excited for this video! ❤
Hello Emily!! I’m LOVING the larger splash of color on your eyes. So pretty…
ps…is it too soon to do a Marilyn Monroe “look” again with the same products you received. We loved it!! Maybe around Valentines Day?? Hugs from north of Seattle, Carla Marie ❤️
Do you have a drugstore suggestion for the two touch up pices?
I love this video and these types,
