Thank you for doing these from 2012 to now. You really inspired me to keep my collection in check and to make sure I am using things and not letting them go bad. I will miss these videos but I am really happy that you have met many of your goals for this. Enjoy your trip :)
Christine - I know this is an older video, but I just wanted to say that I always come back to your decluttering videos to inspire me and to remind myself that it's ok to part with things. I've been watching all the way back from Fall 2012 (when you did your big purge and started Make Out 2013) over the past few days as I clean out my room and sort through my stuff. I'm so grateful you filmed and posted your journey!
Omg. I discovered your channel the other week and FINALLY a youtuber that I can relate to! I love having a smaller collection and finally don't feel pressured buying so much more stuff than I actually need!!!
Haha I know who thought someone going through their unwanted crap would be so entertaining! I watched all her de-clutter videos in like a row I was obssessed!
Yay, welcome!! I hear you!! I think smaller collections have such a cool and classy feel, it makes each item really special. You're doing it right! 💋✌️
pinksofoxy No way thank you! Finally a youtuber that doesn't haul every 20 minutes! Like we all enjoy a good haul but god not every 2 days! I just don't understand it, even if a youtube make up channel is your job surely you could have some creativity and think of something else other than a haul!
I'm really excited for your trip...I miss seeing the "daily" trip vlogs with Michael and even the ones around the island...I know you guys are busy but I just wanted to say hope your trip is fantastic,safe and full of adventure...and laughter..cheers! Safe travels!
Since I have cleaned out my make up drawers, I just notice something by watching your clean out. All of your make up containers are so sparkly clean. Now I got it in my head I have to clean my containers. They just got dusty on the inside, because of the lose powder when I used them. See, ever time I watch what you are doing, then I get inspired to do it. Your are great for motivating people.
Hi Christine, I am loving your downsizing, and the philosophy behind it! It does make me think how little I have in terms of make up, so I will have to look out for a bit more I think, It all fits in half of a drawer (and it's a small drawer) I need to start paying a bit more attention to that ! Thanks for all your lovely videos! You are awesome! x x x
It was a good time to do this before you leave to travel, I can really imagine what you have said before about traveling making you realise what your essentials are and not needing the rest so much. My sister used to be a glamour model and more recently work on stadium tours and has always traveled for fun too, you could fit the contents of her whole flat in the back of a small car, not including the bed and sofa, her bathroom and make-up products in a bedside drawer. You are becoming like that yourself, there is a freedom to it....unfortuatley I love 'stuff 'and knick nacks etc I hope to strike a balance one day..although I have a miniscule make-up collection as I have said before! x
I have enjoyed watching your progress with this Christine! You have inspired me to clean out my "collection" and I have donated to my local women's shelter. I feel proud of this and even though I did buy products that didn't get used I don't feel as though I wasted so much money knowing that someone else can love them. I am much more careful with the makeup I choose now and am steering clear of the RUclips beauty product hype! I can watch videos dedicated to reviewing products WITHOUT having to buy them. I can simply admire them now! Also, I don't think it is sad that you will no longer be doing makeup de-clutter videos, I think it is great that you have been able to reach your goals. Now we just need a new makeup collection vid! ;)
I really enjoy watching these videos on down sizing. It is inspiring and I really think it allows people to have the items you are truly enjoying and are going to use.
I have really loved this series! I do hope you will do a collection video each year showing us any changes, additions, letting us know your "numbers," and sharing your thoughts. You have inspired me so much...I've been whittling my collection down, passing on items to my girls, and I've even been able to take my teenage daughter with me to donate items at our town's women's transition shelter. Thanks for always filming such a lovely variety of videos. Have fun on your trip!!!
I loved this series, not just because it was good to see a reasonable size collection as the result but I also really enjoyed hearing your reasoning--it gave me things to think about when buying future makeup purchases.
I loved watching these videos, they remind me of the time I had to move from my apartment and I realized the amount of clothes, makeup and jewelry I had. It took me 3 years but I'm finally comfortable with what I have. Have fun in the Phillippines Christine!
I swear I need to come here and check your videos everyday to keep myself in the mindset of "less stuff less stress" and a "happy simple life". Enjoy it and loving it :) Thanks.
Great timing Christine!! Downsizing your makeup collection, then traveling for a month - when you get home your collection is going to seem HUGE!! Looking forward to the inventorying part!! I need to do that and carry it with me because I am forever buying things I already own!! Have the most wonderful time on your trip!! Best Wishes My Darling!!
You've done such a good job downsizing and cleaning out! I've also learned that we can get by with a whole lot less...and I know that's a general statement for our lives, but it does feel so good to let things go and un-clutter. Your make up room is so beautiful!
Thank you!! I completely agree. It's so easy to get caught up in thinking we need what everyone else has... and falling into that, felt like quick sand lol.
Loving all these videos so close together! I'm all about watching people clean out/declutter different areas of their home/office/life in general lol Yay!
I have mentioned 5 million times how much I love these purge videos, but I really do! Thanks for updating us on what you love and what you decided to get rid of. You look beautiful! (:
Can't say enough how much I love these videos. I'm always so inspired after watching them. I've also cut down my collection, and keeping it minimal really is calming and so much nicer. Thanks for these videos Christine and have fun in the Philippines!
Christine, You're going to the Philippines?!?! How cool is that! How long will you be gone for? and I SO hope you vlog like last time :) Im going to miss these videos..I hope you find more stuff to throw away LOL I know I know, crazy huh? lol but I love them!! Kat xx
Yes!! Can't wait, we'll be in PI for one month. I hope to vlog as much of the trip as possible, I think it'll be a really cool adventure and good experience. LOL you are hilarious! I was just looking at my makeup brushes, like... you're next buddy! 👉 ;)
Oh wow, great job! I've enjoyed your declutter videos, and to see you've pared it down to one drawer is fantastic! My own collection is about that size as well, and I think I'm at a point where I don't want it to grow anymore. Hope your upcoming trip will see you through healthy and safely!
Wish you a good trip to the PL. Hope to see a lot of vlogs. I love you vids about traveling and Hawaii. Especially druing bad weather in germany 😉 You declutter vids are inspiring. I also start to declutter a little bit after I see your experience. Thanks for sharing it!
After I watched your deck utter video yesterday, I stumbled upon your hair lightening/highlighting video. I followed the tutorial and my hair turned out awesome! So, thank you Christine! You're awesome!
Hi Christine! I really loved watching these series and I was so inspired to do the same - declutter and declutter. I am still not at the point where I want to be yet. I will surely miss these videos. Have a safe trip and enjoy your vacation! Hugs, Rally
You're such an inspiration! Yesterday I've given away several of my lightly used make-up iproducts which I didn't really liked on me but neverless I tried to make it work. And now I see that my friends like it and I'm glad that my make-up bag is able to close again and that I'm not wasting space on products which I don't like or don't use anymore.
I love your videos and the fact that you are realistic about your make up collection. That's a great example for all of us out there. I think I've watched all your decluttering videos several times by now and I absolutely love them, but I won't be sad when you no longer make them. Good luck and have fun in the Philippines :)
hi Christine. I have to say I have thoroughly enjoyed your make up declutter videos and really inspired me to enjoy what I have and be content with it. I'm so glad i got off this crazy train ride because it's so so so easy to get carried away. And for what? That momentary buzz you get that surely passes until the next thing catches your eye. It's just so punishing to the wallet and to my sanity LOL. Plus I love reading all the lovely comments people leave who are totally on board with and get this way of thinking
I've really been enjoying all of your declutter and organization videos! You've inspired me to try to make a change in my own home and let go of some things to pass on to someone who will get more use out of them:)
Great series, Christine! You inspired me to go at it with my own stash and it's starting to ease my "I'm a make up HOARDER" anxiety. Have a great trip.
This was another really fantastic decluttering series, Christine! I really enjoyed watching it! And, oh man, I totally remember that bathroom in your previous house and seeing all of your vanity and plastic drawers stuffed full with makeup - look how far you've come! x
You should be really proud of yourself for staying the journey. You are inspirational, as always! So excited for you about your upcoming trip. Hope you have a great time and looking forward to the vlogs!
always a pleasure to watch your declutter vids -- or ANY of your vids for that matter! Hope you share some of your trip with us and I'm sure you'll both have a wonderful time! ♥
Ill miss these videos!! Thanks for sharing :) you inspired me to do videos on Decluttering, my makeup inventory and project 10 pans :) thank you Christine!!!
I don't wear much makeup but I love seeing your collection. These videos were good about the downsizing of the collection. Plus I think it helps me see it is okay to have a few loved items instead of no items at all.
Been on Vaca. for a week, and I come back to more declutter videos. You've truly been a good inspiration for me with these. I have cleaned out so many different parts of my life. And it is true, Less clutter Less stress. Love watching you, would love to live there. But with your videos, I get a small taste. Would at least like to visit one day.
I'm not going to lie... i am a little sad that ur makeup clean-out is over.. but, i think what i enjoyed most was your voice. It's so soft and soothing and a bit sophisticated :) Well,... Have fun on your trip!
I already cannot wait to see all of your vlogs from the Philippines! I was so obsessed with you mr Southeast Asia trip! I can't wait! Also this was my favorite video in your declutter collection!
I'm not sure if they still sell them, but Bobbi Brown made palettes specifically for their eyeshadows to pop into and each one fits eight shadows. Since you will have seven left, it might be perfect for you and make the shades even more accessible and usable for you. I have and empty palette that I've never used and I'd be happy to gift it to you in the spirit of aloha if you'd like it. Just let me know.
I have to correct myself....it's a six pan palette with a mirror and they do still sell them, but it's never used and yours if you want it....just some positive reinforcement for helping the rest of us make a shift towards sane spending / acquiring! :)
That is very kind of you to offer this to her. Usually all i see is ppl trying to see if they can get the stuff she is giving away. Wonderful to see somone offering instead of wanting!
Thanks to you, I won't need it. Seriously, I only have two Bobbi Brown shadows but bought all the MakeupGeek and have 3 Tom Ford quads and about 20 other quads (ouch) plus singles. The offer is sincere. It's so much easier when the shadows are in palettes (for me anyway), so if you feel like you will get use from it, I'm TRULY happy to send it your way. As you know, giving is as gratifying as receiving (or more), so you'd be giving me a gift by taking it (plus taking away the temptation to fill it up)! If you don't prefer palettes, no worries, if you do, please just give me a should at summitny@aol.com or sarah@bluedogtraining.com(my website is www.bluedogtraining.com if you want to know more about the person making the offer...not a lunatic- an animal behaviorist) :) Let me know. Mahalo and Aloha.
I'm super impressed once again with how much you were able to part with. I was sad though when you decided to get rid of the Too Faced Summer Eyes palette... so gorgeous. I'm also sad to hear the series is ending but I guess the end would be inevitable at some point lol. I'm hoping for a nail polish and makeup brush declutter though ;) You've gotten things down to a really lovely and manageable collection now. I'm really looking forward to an updated makeup collection and inventory :)
Oh my gosh! I had been a fan of you for a long time and recently I haven't watched your videos but I just found you again and I forgot how much I loved it when you did these videos!❤❤❤❤
I love this series!! Im sad lol but you have definitely inspired me to do this. I go through my collection at the end of the month and also purge and sale what i don't like or haven't used in a while. Hopefully by the end of this year ill have a perfect makeup collection where i love and used everything i have.
Again, another fabulous job! I just started my first project pan, and I'm hoping that will keep me in check with all my makeup/beauty items. I don't want to be trying to finish up products that I don't like, so I may have to downsize a bit more :) Thanks again for sharing!
You inspired me to declutter my stuff back in 2012. Since, I've done the same for haircare products and my craft supplies. Thanks so much for the inspiration!!!
I discovered your channel months ago through a declutter video, lately rewatched all the declutter/purge videos you've made in chronological order, and it's very inspiring, even moving, to see you evolve and grow along the years. Youd did a great job, girl! :D
wow this is so inspiring. i just started on my decluttering journey and it's been very challenging, but i've been finding it very rewarding so far. i haven't tackled makeup yet... still building up to that. :)
I have loved this series *so* much! It inspired me to keep myself in check and whenever I make a purchase, I use it as an opportunity to quickly re-asses and purge, if necessary. ♥
My heart broke when you set aside the summer eyes palette by Too Faced. I bought that palette after watching an eye makeup tutorial by you and I fell in love with toasted coconut. I actually contacted Too Faced and requested that they make that color in a single. I have a love/hate relationship with palettes, but I have a rule now that I must see myself using at least 80% of the colors or else I can't buy it so I understand why you let it go. Thanks, Sandra
I know! That was a really hard call to make. I love those colors so much. Too Faced should definitely offer them in singles or create a new palette with them.
ill admit I'm kinda sad that this series is over. It's given me an open eye at how I've been hoarding makeup. You've really inspired me to declutter my makeup collection and donate what i don't use to my family and friends. I love how dedicated you've been at this whole decluttering process since your makeup inventory. Can't wait to see how well you've done by the end of the year
You have absolutely inspired me. I've sent most to Jamaica and I kept my lorac pro. Couldn't give that up! I have everything in one draw as well! Shoes next! Lol
OMGoodness! A trip is definitely in order! I pray you all have a safe and fun time. I can't wait to be done with school so I can travel some! My dream is Hawaii, Maui actually cause I understand it is a slower paced island. Love these videos! Really excited to see more of your home purge when you return. I began purging last January, and I will tell you, it is slow going! :( But it is hard to throw everything out at once. We have slowly been re-homing stuff. It feels great!!!!!! Thanks for the inspiration! :)
Christine..have a great safe trip..I have really enjoyed watching you clean out your makeup..I am just not as good as you letting go..Can't wait to see how you did on your inventory count..I am definitely going to try harder to get rid of thing..you give me hope..LOL Be safe..xoxo Loretta
Wow, I can't believe it's been two years since your first makeup clean-out! Sad to see the series end, but congratulations on creating a collection you love.
I really enjoyed this clean out series! its really refreshing to see someone downsizing here on RUclips. Im glad you did these videos because it made me realize its not all about how much you have, but how much of your stuff you actually use! im not going to lie thought, its nice to have A LOT of makeup lol, but you are right, it its not being used it will expire... and thats just a waste of money!
Yep, you keep going and inspiring me. I think it is time to do this again myself. The things I didn't let go last time, and STILL have never used.... It is time :)
I'd like to see your makeup collection after the clean out :) Anw, you actually inspire me to buy makeup base what i really need and not because we want to collect them. Love, Eve.
These videos have been so inspiring to me. My collection is nowhere near as large as yours but I still feel like I have too much. I've been ruthless with getting rid of things lately!
pinksofoxy where will you be going and how long will you be there? I was born in Manila and every time we go to the Philippines we usually stay in Manila. But this trip we're going to spend a few days in Palawan =) Have a safe and fun trip! I hope you vlog while you are there.
I was definitely looking at the makeup brushes thinking you could probably make a dent there. Have a safe trip, would love to see some of it and whatever you might purchase, cheers
love it!!!.....so inspiring...can u do a updated nail polish collection...u have the best taste in nail polish and I have tried a few of ur recommendations.....just would love to c what ur enjoying from ur collection and what u would part with.....
Love this video and I'm so proud of you for letting a lot makeup that you didn't need because I also went through that stage and I just said to myself "Like Jackie don' t even were this much makeup its time to let it go". I hope you can a new makeup collection to see how your makeup is diclatter. Sorry if theirs any misspelled words.
Oh my...I need to do this SOO badly. I always 'recognoid' thinking I'll have a client that wants THAT particular item! And here I am.....Needing a bigger studio. Another great vid Christine...bummer the end of a 'series'! But I cant WAIT to see your upcoming Philippines vlogs!!
You did wonderful! When you let the Dior go, I knew you had completed a journey from must have, because everyone has, to I have it because I truly love it and use it. I so wish before you leave for Phillppines you could tackle brushes, it would give me the courage to do mine, I have way way to many. Lol! Seriously I do! Enjoy your trip and have a safe one. Great Video, you are such a natural Beautiful. Your a joy to watch, Great Ideas! Take Care, Hugs and Happiness.,
Great Job! It must feel so good to have a well-edited collection of items that you love and use often. I am really looking forward to your trip to the Philippines! Safe Travels! :)
I've been following you ever since you started the decluttering series in 2012- Less stuff, less stress. I think what you are doing is really amazing. It takes some courage to give away and part with stuff that you bought. Kudos to you. its so nice to see Lakme being used outside of india and loved. As an Indian Beauty blogger, it makes me very happy. The one you have is one of the best kajals ever. P.S. it is pronounced as : "kaa jal". so the stress in on the first syllable and it is extended a bit.
I bought the too faced natural eye palette because i saw you use it in one of your videos. i'm glad you kept it. btw i am from the Philippines (living abroad right now). It is rainy season there this time of the year but i do hope you have fun during your visit.
christine! you've moved and grown so much from the person you once were. best wishes for a wonderful trip, and please let us see your "new" whittled down collection, or at least update us with the numbers at the end of the year :)
I hope you guys will be able to vlog while in the PI. My mom grew up in the PI until she got married & she said it is one of the best times of her life. My dream is to one day take a holiday there.
Lol am I the only one who like plays a game before she says whether or not she's keeping it? Like, in my head, I'll be like 'oh she's definitely keeping that' or 'that's totally gone'
I love these videos! I can't wait until your makeup inventory video in November! Please be sure to include your perfumes since you did a cleanout for them, too.
Thank you for doing these from 2012 to now. You really inspired me to keep my collection in check and to make sure I am using things and not letting them go bad. I will miss these videos but I am really happy that you have met many of your goals for this. Enjoy your trip :)
Thank you so much Emily! I'm so glad we can all help keep each other inspired!

There is something so interesting about all of the de cluttering videos. I'll probably rewatch from 2012 again since I love them so much
Loving all these videos so close together! I'm all about watching people clean out/declutter different areas of their home/office/life in general lol
Yay!
I have mentioned 5 million times how much I love these purge videos, but I really do! Thanks for updating us on what you love and what you decided to get rid of. You look beautiful! (:
I really love your way of thought and way of life, you inspire me to let go of things I have been hanging on for to many years xxx
Can't say enough how much I love these videos. I'm always so inspired after watching them. I've also cut down my collection, and keeping it minimal really is calming and so much nicer. Thanks for these videos Christine and have fun in the Philippines!

I really loved watching these series and I was so inspired to do the same - declutter and declutter. I am still not at the point where I want to be yet. I will surely miss these videos. Have a safe trip and enjoy your vacation!

You're such an inspiration! Yesterday I've given away several of my lightly used make-up iproducts which I didn't really liked on me but neverless I tried to make it work. And now I see that my friends like it and I'm glad that my make-up bag is able to close again and that I'm not wasting space on products which I don't like or don't use anymore.
It must be a huge relief to have your makeup down to what you love. I recently cleared out mine as well. It helps!
I love your videos and the fact that you are realistic about your make up collection. That's a great example for all of us out there. I think I've watched all your decluttering videos several times by now and I absolutely love them, but I won't be sad when you no longer make them. Good luck and have fun in the Philippines :)

I'm so glad i got off this crazy train ride because it's so so so easy to get carried away. And for what? That momentary buzz you get that surely passes until the next thing catches your eye. It's just so punishing to the wallet and to my sanity LOL. Plus I love reading all the lovely comments people leave who are totally on board with and get this way of thinking
I've really been enjoying all of your declutter and organization videos! You've inspired me to try to make a change in my own home and let go of some things to pass on to someone who will get more use out of them:)
Love these videos and you are doing so well in keeping it minimal. Good for you! ♥ Elle
Thanks so much Elle!
Great series, Christine! You inspired me to go at it with my own stash and it's starting to ease my "I'm a make up HOARDER" anxiety. Have a great trip.

You should be really proud of yourself for staying the journey. You are inspirational, as always! So excited for you about your upcoming trip. Hope you have a great time and looking forward to the vlogs!
always a pleasure to watch your declutter vids -- or ANY of your vids for that matter! Hope you share some of your trip with us and I'm sure you'll both have a wonderful time! ♥
Thank you so much!! Yes, definitely looking forward to vlogging as much of the trip as possible! :D
I absolutely love these videos! It makes my day when you post videos, especially ones where you're chatty with us :)
Aww, thank you!! I love just hanging out with you guys and chatting away! 😊💋
Ill miss these videos!! Thanks for sharing :) you inspired me to do videos on Decluttering, my makeup inventory and project 10 pans :) thank you Christine!!!
I don't wear much makeup but I love seeing your collection. These videos were good about the downsizing of the collection. Plus I think it helps me see it is okay to have a few loved items instead of no items at all.
Wow, I could have never have let go of that much stuff throughout all of your videos. Loved all of them xxx
Been on Vaca. for a week, and I come back to more declutter videos. You've truly been a good inspiration for me with these. I have cleaned out so many different parts of my life. And it is true, Less clutter Less stress. Love watching you, would love to live there. But with your videos, I get a small taste. Would at least like to visit one day.
I'm not going to lie... i am a little sad that ur makeup clean-out is over.. but, i think what i enjoyed most was your voice. It's so soft and soothing and a bit sophisticated :)
Well,... Have fun on your trip!
I already cannot wait to see all of your vlogs from the Philippines! I was so obsessed with you mr Southeast Asia trip! I can't wait! Also this was my favorite video in your declutter collection!
i love your clean out videos! they are to the point and you review each item. i get tired of gurus that explain each item for longer than needed.
I'm not sure if they still sell them, but Bobbi Brown made palettes specifically for their eyeshadows to pop into and each one fits eight shadows. Since you will have seven left, it might be perfect for you and make the shades even more accessible and usable for you. I have and empty palette that I've never used and I'd be happy to gift it to you in the spirit of aloha if you'd like it. Just let me know.
I have to correct myself....it's a six pan palette with a mirror and they do still sell them, but it's never used and yours if you want it....just some positive reinforcement for helping the rest of us make a shift towards sane spending / acquiring! :)
That is very kind of you to offer this to her. Usually all i see is ppl trying to see if they can get the stuff she is giving away. Wonderful to see somone offering instead of wanting!
Thank you so much for the kind comment. I am very touched you took the time to write that.
Aww, you are such a sweetheart! Thanks for the tip! You should keep your palette though, what if you need to use it later on.
Thanks to you, I won't need it. Seriously, I only have two Bobbi Brown shadows but bought all the MakeupGeek and have 3 Tom Ford quads and about 20 other quads (ouch) plus singles.
The offer is sincere. It's so much easier when the shadows are in palettes (for me anyway), so if you feel like you will get use from it, I'm TRULY happy to send it your way. As you know, giving is as gratifying as receiving (or more), so you'd be giving me a gift by taking it (plus taking away the temptation to fill it up)!
If you don't prefer palettes, no worries, if you do, please just give me a should at summitny@aol.com or sarah@bluedogtraining.com(my website is www.bluedogtraining.com if you want to know more about the person making the offer...not a lunatic- an animal behaviorist) :)
Let me know.
Mahalo and Aloha.
I'm super impressed once again with how much you were able to part with. I was sad though when you decided to get rid of the Too Faced Summer Eyes palette... so gorgeous. I'm also sad to hear the series is ending but I guess the end would be inevitable at some point lol. I'm hoping for a nail polish and makeup brush declutter though ;) You've gotten things down to a really lovely and manageable collection now. I'm really looking forward to an updated makeup collection and inventory :)
Oh my gosh! I had been a fan of you for a long time and recently I haven't watched your videos but I just found you again and I forgot how much I loved it when you did these videos!❤❤❤❤
I love this series!! Im sad lol but you have definitely inspired me to do this. I go through my collection at the end of the month and also purge and sale what i don't like or haven't used in a while. Hopefully by the end of this year ill have a perfect makeup collection where i love and used everything i have.
Thanks Kimberly! I know you can do it girl! xoxo
Again, another fabulous job! I just started my first project pan, and I'm hoping that will keep me in check with all my makeup/beauty items. I don't want to be trying to finish up products that I don't like, so I may have to downsize a bit more :) Thanks again for sharing!
You inspired me to declutter my stuff back in 2012. Since, I've done the same for haircare products and my craft supplies. Thanks so much for the inspiration!!!
Love watching these video's. You have done an amazing job decluttering. :)
Thank you beautiful!!
You are so welcome. Have a safe and fun time in the Philippines!
I discovered your channel months ago through a declutter video, lately rewatched all the declutter/purge videos you've made in chronological order, and it's very inspiring, even moving, to see you evolve and grow along the years. Youd did a great job, girl! :D
I love these videos! I have followed you on this decluttering journey since 2012 and you have really inspired me. Thank you, best wishes!
wow this is so inspiring. i just started on my decluttering journey and it's been very challenging, but i've been finding it very rewarding so far. i haven't tackled makeup yet... still building up to that. :)
I have loved this series *so* much! It inspired me to keep myself in check and whenever I make a purchase, I use it as an opportunity to quickly re-asses and purge, if necessary. ♥
My heart broke when you set aside the summer eyes palette by Too Faced. I bought that palette after watching an eye makeup tutorial by you and I fell in love with toasted coconut. I actually contacted Too Faced and requested that they make that color in a single. I have a love/hate relationship with palettes, but I have a rule now that I must see myself using at least 80% of the colors or else I can't buy it so I understand why you let it go. Thanks, Sandra
I know! That was a really hard call to make. I love those colors so much. Too Faced should definitely offer them in singles or create a new palette with them.
ill admit I'm kinda sad that this series is over. It's given me an open eye at how I've been hoarding makeup. You've really inspired me to declutter my makeup collection and donate what i don't use to my family and friends. I love how dedicated you've been at this whole decluttering process since your makeup inventory. Can't wait to see how well you've done by the end of the year
Congrats on finishing!! I remember when you started. I'll miss these videos but you have so many cool ideas so I'm not worried ;)
Such a perfectly sized eye collection now! Love everything you have and love this series! So inspirational!
Travel safely ....have a fabulous time.....can't wait to see the travel vlogs (I hope you're taking us with you via camera) xxxx
You have absolutely inspired me. I've sent most to Jamaica and I kept my lorac pro. Couldn't give that up! I have everything in one draw as well! Shoes next! Lol
OMGoodness! A trip is definitely in order! I pray you all have a safe and fun time. I can't wait to be done with school so I can travel some! My dream is Hawaii, Maui actually cause I understand it is a slower paced island. Love these videos! Really excited to see more of your home purge when you return. I began purging last January, and I will tell you, it is slow going! :( But it is hard to throw everything out at once. We have slowly been re-homing stuff. It feels great!!!!!! Thanks for the inspiration! :)
I love these videos! I'm decluttering my belongs too. It's much better already, but it's a long process, it's a new lifestyle. Kisses from Brazil!!!
Christine..have a great safe trip..I have really enjoyed watching you clean out your makeup..I am just not as good as you letting go..Can't wait to see how you did on your inventory count..I am definitely going to try harder to get rid of thing..you give me hope..LOL Be safe..xoxo Loretta
Oh.forgot to mention..I would love to see what you pack to take with you on your trip.xoxo Loretta
I am looking forward to the next declutter video! Have a great time on your trip!
Wow, I can't believe it's been two years since your first makeup clean-out! Sad to see the series end, but congratulations on creating a collection you love.
I really enjoyed this clean out series! its really refreshing to see someone downsizing here on RUclips. Im glad you did these videos because it made me realize its not all about how much you have, but how much of your stuff you actually use! im not going to lie thought, its nice to have A LOT of makeup lol, but you are right, it its not being used it will expire... and thats just a waste of money!
Yep, you keep going and inspiring me. I think it is time to do this again myself. The things I didn't let go last time, and STILL have never used.... It is time :)
I'd like to see your makeup collection after the clean out :) Anw, you actually inspire me to buy makeup base what i really need and not because we want to collect them. Love, Eve.
You've inspired me to cleanout my collection as well! Love this series, and I can't wait until the next one!
Great job Christine! Thank you for sharing your journey. Its been quite inspiring. Have a lovely and safe trip and God bless!!! :)
I NEEED to do a cleanout toooo!! You've inspired me!!
LOVE your nail color!!!
XOXO
These videos have been so inspiring to me. My collection is nowhere near as large as yours but I still feel like I have too much. I've been ruthless with getting rid of things lately!
Oh I wish I could be like you Christine! I can't let go of any of my make up because of the 'memories' I have of using it lol!! xx
Loved the entire series!! Inspiring! Have a safe and amazing trip!
love these Videos Christine! Can't wait to see more. Have fun in the Philippines, we'll be going in February =)
Thanks Danielle! Woohoo can't wait to go! I've heard there are some amazingly beautiful areas to explore! :D
pinksofoxy where will you be going and how long will you be there? I was born in Manila and every time we go to the Philippines we usually stay in Manila. But this trip we're going to spend a few days in Palawan =) Have a safe and fun trip! I hope you vlog while you are there.
I was definitely looking at the makeup brushes thinking you could probably make a dent there. Have a safe trip, would love to see some of it and whatever you might purchase, cheers
love it!!!.....so inspiring...can u do a updated nail polish collection...u have the best taste in nail polish and I have tried a few of ur recommendations.....just would love to c what ur enjoying from ur collection and what u would part with.....
I'm going to do this with my collection!! Thank you for sharing!!! Xoxo
It can be hard to let go but take your time and you'll do great!!!
Congratulations, Christina! I've watched every single one of these videos and loved them all. Have fun traveling :)
Love this video and I'm so proud of you for letting a lot makeup that you didn't need because I also went through that stage and I just said to myself "Like Jackie don' t even were this much makeup its time to let it go". I hope you can a new makeup collection to see how your makeup is diclatter. Sorry if theirs any misspelled words.
looking forward to your final inventory video! hope you have a great trip to the philippines.
Oh my...I need to do this SOO badly. I always 'recognoid' thinking I'll have a client that wants THAT particular item! And here I am.....Needing a bigger studio.
Another great vid Christine...bummer the end of a 'series'!
But I cant WAIT to see your upcoming Philippines vlogs!!
I love the BM Truth quad, too. Colors are so pretty!
You did wonderful! When you let the Dior go, I knew you had completed a journey from must have, because everyone has, to I have it because I truly love it and use it. I so wish before you leave for Phillppines you could tackle brushes, it would give me the courage to do mine, I have way way to many. Lol! Seriously I do! Enjoy your trip and have a safe one. Great Video, you are such a natural Beautiful. Your a joy to watch, Great Ideas! Take Care, Hugs and Happiness.,
I'm going to PI October 15th! So excited! We are doing the Pallawan Island hopping and seeing family :)
Great Job! It must feel so good to have a well-edited collection of items that you love and use often. I am really looking forward to your trip to the Philippines! Safe Travels! :)
I've been following you ever since you started the decluttering series in 2012- Less stuff, less stress. I think what you are doing is really amazing. It takes some courage to give away and part with stuff that you bought. Kudos to you.
its so nice to see Lakme being used outside of india and loved. As an Indian Beauty blogger, it makes me very happy. The one you have is one of the best kajals ever.
P.S. it is pronounced as : "kaa jal". so the stress in on the first syllable and it is extended a bit.
I hope you are vlogging your trip as well! I love your follow me around and vacation trips! :)
Ahh I loved these videos! Allready looking forward to the body product decluttering haha
Xxx
Well done Christine you have come so far, hope you and Michael have a wonderful holiday xx
Nope, not sad! Bravo! You've done great!
I bought the too faced natural eye palette because i saw you use it in one of your videos. i'm glad you kept it. btw i am from the Philippines (living abroad right now). It is rainy season there this time of the year but i do hope you have fun during your visit.
christine! you've moved and grown so much from the person you once were. best wishes for a wonderful trip, and please let us see your "new" whittled down collection, or at least update us with the numbers at the end of the year :)
I'm so sad it's the last one but I'm so proud of you for letting go. Bravo.
I hope you guys will be able to vlog while in the PI. My mom grew up in the PI until she got married & she said it is one of the best times of her life. My dream is to one day take a holiday there.
Lol am I the only one who like plays a game before she says whether or not she's keeping it? Like, in my head, I'll be like 'oh she's definitely keeping that' or 'that's totally gone'
Haha I love it, you guys are freaking adorable! 😀💖
Lol thanks :-) you're videos are so amazing! pinksofoxy
lol I do too
I do too! Glad I'm not alone. LOL
I love these videos! I can't wait until your makeup inventory video in November! Please be sure to include your perfumes since you did a cleanout for them, too.
