I never quite understand why RUclipsrs declutter make up that they really love because it isn’t sold anymore. You could still do a tutorial with it and I would bet the majority of people that watch the channels also have a lot of those older items. If they’ve gone bad that makes sense but just because they’re not sold anymore? It makes it feel a little bit to me like everything on RUclips is an ad for things we can buy. When I started watching make up RUclips about six years ago it seemed just more for the love of that make up I guess. Anyway this isn’t specific to you this is something that virtually every Beauty contact creator seems to do.
Agree plus would be nice seeing different looks with older stuff we mite have 👍🏻
I always wonder the same thing. If you love something, surely there are days you can wear when you are not on YT? Really curious why.
A while ago she did a video of a full face of makeup you can’t buy anymore/discontinued makeup or something like that and I LOVED it. I requested more of that style because like you said, we’ll watch whatever and we probably also have some of those items in our collections. I don’t believe she’s made another video like that but it would be nice.
It’s just more of a courtesy to her audience that can’t get it anymore. Like don’t tempt us if you know it’s unnattainable kind of thing.
Plus we need space for new makeup that comes in. Plus time pass by and makeup expires. So it's better to pass it on to someone else or discard if they're too old. I declutter from time to time and give it to my mom and friends.
“It’s not like I’m a makeup librarian” 😂😅. I would love to see more videos of you using your older makeup even though it’s not available. I know it may be an unpopular opinion, but it gives us a break from all the new releases
10000% agree! love those videos because it encourages me to dip into the makeup I already have and love. I'm so tired of this new, must buy, buy more mentality with makeup nowadays. It's so exhausting and I've lately started to get tired of watching makeup videos and following releases. lol!
Hey Michele! This is a great job, thank you for making this video!
I was just wondering why you keep the palettes based on their availability and not on the fact if you like them or not? I do understand that for your RUclips channel you prefer to use those makeup items that we can purchase, but what about using makeup just for yourself, because you like it? Would be interesting to hear about that! :)
"why? not like I'm a makeup librarian."
I laughed out loud while the arrow hit home with me!
Am I the only one that silently screamed NO! This was painful for me to watch especially Cocoa Mirage and Cognac Sable. I’ll probably keep those until the end. I’m so glad you kept all of Soleil Neige and Double Indemnity. They are my faves. You are very strong Michele. I like the idea of keeping all of TF quads in a separate place but also think it’s better to find someone who will use and enjoy them. I am not looking forward to the face palette declutter.😳
As soon as she decluttered cocoa mirage I came down to the comments to see if anyone else was screaming too!!
Same!!!
My “no” wasn’t silent at all. 😂
I had a mini panic attack and had to pause the video for a minute. Man! That was hard to watch!
Just hit the cognac sable / cocoa mirage moment and am in the comments too!! Can’t believe it… I’m keeping mine to the end!!
I can't believe you're decluttering Virgin orchid! I can't find it anywhere and I am dying to get my hands on it
I audibly gasped when you got rid of Cognac Sable and Cocoa Mirage. Those two quads are so iconic that even if only for comparison purposes and to keep a piece of history I would have held on to them. I own Cocoa Mirage but I missed the opportunity of getting Cognac Sable and it was discontinued shortly after that and I still hate myself after all these years. I would have never gotten rid of that one.
Same same and same. Amen
I swear I could hear our Mel 🕊 laughingly scream "nooooooooo" when you decluttered Cocoa Mirage 😂😢😢
That was a "hard job, well done" ..... Now I want first dibs on your declutter pile 😉
So much love and admiration for you 💜💜💜
I was thinking the same thing about Mel
Chrissy i was the same, love it when a memory of Mel pops in ❤️
Yes exactly😂
Me too
@@debbieotoole1072
I think her every day, I still can't quite believe that she's no longer with us 😢⭐🕊⭐
Wow that was ruthless!
The 2 best Ones !! CS CM!! Faints!!!
Makeup librarian…hysterical! Love your declutters.
If you really love something don't get rid of it because it's no longer available. ttsandra uses a lot of discontinued (mostly Burberry) shadows and then offers suggestions of dupes or close matches. I have gone searching for new unused qauds that I ended up feeling that I missed out on. TF Daydream was a recent one. Sometimes a color combo or slight difference in tones just can't be matched
I picked up some discontinued ones at the Cosmetic Company, Daydream was one of them. 60% off retail..You can find those stores at outlet malls. I believe they are owned by TF parent company Estee Lauder
@@annakim5589 Cognac Sable is one that I've looked for for along time. If it does pop up it's always ridiculously expensive. Obviously if things are old or off they've got to go, but if it's no longer available and I love it then it's even more of a pleasure to have in my collection
@@sk3624 Hear hear!
I personally feel that even if they're not available, if they still bring you joy, keep them. You could still use them on days when you're not recording. There's no sense in getting rid of something that you love.
Oh my my goodness, did you ever do a great job. That must have been really difficult.❤❤
Also this is wasteful!
I don’t even care if she uses them in videos! Lol you bought it, use it 🤷🏽♀️ as another commenter said, not everything has to be an advertisement. I am sure lots of us have/use stuff that’s not sold anymore because we still love it. I feel like RUclipsrs should have that same liberty.
@@whitejade1000 Wow, then why are you even a part of this channel if your going to bash this sweet woman. Shame on you!!
@@AnitaLibrary Then why are you even a part of this channel if you're going to bash her? She is so kind and giving! Shame on you!
I'm totally surprised by this declutter. I never thought you would get rid of your Tom Ford quads.
You have much more willpower than I. That would be a super tough decision to part with any of those palettes. I give you so much credit. Now you have room for more!
Have a great weekend, Michele❣❤😊
Beautiful lipstick color on you , Michele - may I ask what is the brand and color ? Thanks
Blimey, such strength and inspiration!! 💪🏻😍There is a sense of serenity that comes when my space is tidy. Short term pain, long term peace.
You were ruthless! 😳 Totally out of my realm of capability! 😁
Wow that was hard to watch. Well done. Cognac sable gone I don’t believe it! It is/was your favourite one. So happy your TF collection is more manageable and contains all the different formular not just the wet/dry one. I now have my eye on desert orchid as it passed your declutter and that speaks volumes on its quality. Can you do our Dior quints collection next? Many hugs
I feel your pain! What makeup are you wearing in this video? Your makeup looks STUNNING! It’s a very becoming look on you😍
What color lipstick are you wearing in the beginning? It looks so lovely on you!!! 🥰
I don't understand the reasoning as for why get rid of obviously good and loved palette only because it isn't available on the website anymore. Only in America.
I can only imagine how hard this would be for you Michele. Your makeup collection is so incredible! The TF eyeshadows would be so hard to declutter. Great job! Great video!😊❤
OMG I was shooketh when you said you’re decluttering Tom Ford quads. This was hard but we’re proud of you for letting some go to a good home with friends and family.
But Michele, you are the makeup librarian of Tom Ford quads 😭😂 damn, Cocoa Mirage and Cognac Sable hurt 💔
Michele! Hope I'm not too late! Please make some photos of all the decluttered quads! I think you would be also glad to look at such photo after some years. If you have enough time and wish, you can hire a professional photographer and make some fun pictures with those quads lying on the bad or sitting on the bench. Do you know that love story-themed photoshots? Why not having such pictures with TF quads since you truly love them 😄
Omg Michelle!! Cognac sable 🥺 my dream pallete!!! I want it so badly
The older quads were so much more beautiful and interesting. Everything now is warm peach and brown.
Omg not the Congnac Sable! I’ve been searching everywhere for that!!!!!
Don’t let go of Cocoa Mirage 😭
That palette always makes me think of Mel because of how much she loved it
Couldn't agree more, xxx
Add to that, my Cocoa Mirage remains as buttery and is still smoother than many of my newer palettes. Never letting go.
I'm so proud of you! Very brave and grounded decision. Many more beautiful items will be made, and you can't just hang onto the old ones. Decluttering is a healthy way to clear the path for new things to come. And your lucky friends and relatives will get some of them. It's a win-win!
I’m so glad your things (for the most part) are going to a good home. Thanks for keeping some of them for reference.
it makes me so sad seeing you pass along palettes I have, love, & cherish knowing that they'll never be mentioned in your videos again, not even for comparisons =( There is validity to using & loving "old" makeup that is not sold anymore. It seems the beauty community on youtube is moving in this direction as a whole. I get the impression that only new is acceptable which pushes me towards the declutter, buy more, declutter, buy more mentality that I see as wasteful for our planet and toxic to my spending habits. It's so disheartening... This is no disrespect to you at all as I absolutely adore you. As always, wonderful video Michelle! You have a lot of makeup and I can totally see why you are so brutal with declutters.
Great video! I love seeing all the Tom ford quads! I only own 3 of them but I still want First Frost, it’s so beautiful. You did a really good job!
The Cosmetic Company Outlet (CCO) has a lot of the discontinued quads so while someone may not be able to buy them online, they can call the various CCO locations and have them delivered.
They also have quads that are still available at a steep discount! I got Body Heat for $22!
@@deborahcates omg I'm so jealous! I dont hav CC0 in my country
I need to go through this process, too. I just can’t part with my makeup for some reason. I have no problem parting with my clothes. This year, I have cut back on purchases. Now if I can just let go of the excess.
I just added Body Heat, Honeymoon, African Violet, & Disco Dust to my collection. They were offering them 75% off plus 15% off one item. I can never bring myself to pay full price. They were $18.92 to $ 22.24 each at The Cosmetic Store.
PLEASE do a RANKING video with this amazing collection. 🙏
Idk why this hurt me too? 😂 I got a little stab in my heart every time you said, “let’s pass along” you’re tough! 💪🏼
I want to send my condolences on the loss of so many of your TF Quads! 😢🙏🏻💔
I just went through my 18 tom ford quads and decluttered a bunch. Listed them on posh.
“Ooof that’s pretty too. Hot damn that’s nice lookin.” I just can’t. That’s the best shit I’ve heard in so long. Love it!
I’ve looked EVERYWHERE for Double Indemnity - after watching this video I now am aware of many others which I LOVE but are retired -
I check the Cosmetics Company Store every time I go to the outlet stores specifically to find the discontinued TF quads.
I had to pause the video and comment that you letting go of cognac sable and cocoa mirage physically pained me.
Wow, great job! I think we all have those areas that we gloss over when we declutter. Just have to wait until the time is right. 🙂
Wow! You really went for it, Michele! ✨ I do enjoy a good declutter.
I saw Desert Fox, Disco Dust, Leopard Sun and Body Heat at the Estée Lauder outlet last weekend.
I really like the quads with the blues and greens. I’m not much for warm colors. Seeing all those beautiful colors so so fun. Colors are so beautiful And I don’t tire of seeing them. I’m curious what was in that square pink box in the same drawer with the Tom Ford quads? The box looks pretty.
I would store them elsewhere so you can refer back to swatches, etc
Testing what stayed in, pretty much brown and peach, how many of them are really indistinguishable after applying. I tend to hang on more to unique shades.
Good job Michele! It can be hard to break up a collection but just think about how excited the new owners will be to have palettes in such good shape.
Wooow noo, this is the reason why i keep a few pallets (maybe 3) one from each color range, since my first and last declutter broke my heart and pockets 🥴😂
Well done Michele! 💪 Getting rid of favourites is HARD but sometimes somethings just need to be done.
I gasp when you got rid of cocoa mirage & cognac sable. 😱😱
I am guilty as charged, but do we realize the amount of WASTE there is? Money and also all the trash that is generated..
So much plastic, one of the worst kind of waste.
She is not throwing them away. Her lucky family and friends will get them. 😊
Michele, I’m so proud of you! I know how much you love your TF quads but now your lucky family and friends will get to enjoy these instead of them languishing in your drawer! Such beautiful things are meant to be used! Well done. 🥰
I’m about to move back home to Vegas from London. I will gladly be on your friend list! 😂
im surprised you got rid of noir fume, which was in two of your favorite videos while being relatively new. plus i bought mine because of your recommendation.
It’s a beautiful quad. But if I can’t use it in a video because it’s unavailable it makes no sense for me to keep.
I need to see the job description for make up librarian 🤩
So many palettes look so similar. Just enjoy what you have. There are so many looks, you can creat with just one palette and some eyeliners.
Excellent declutter and your makeup looks amazing.
Aww, why didn't you keep some of your favorite palettes then you could have done comparisons with the new ones? Like dupes or suggestions for other palettes that were close? If you liked this color from discontinued palette then you can get close with X new palette?
💔So many gorgeous palettes
I am in shock. I know how special they were to you!
michelle be careful if you get rid of something and later regret it you'll end up rebuking with the pallets you are mentioning they see expensive and have brought you joy and they are well loved we all deserve a pleasure if these are yours you'll find room and continue to admire and love them xx
I LOVE a cut throat declutter but I just don't understand getting rid of discontinued products that you LOVE. This goes for all influencers who do this. There are people out there who still have the products that you're getting rid of, so why not still use them on camera for those people? You could even title the video--Discontinued Products That I Still Love and Use. This way people know that they won't be able to get their hands on whatever is in the videos, but those who have them can still be inspired. Maybe it's a bad idea but I just feel like there is content to be made with those products. I don't have most of the old TF quads since I only recently got into luxury makeup and would never be annoyed if I saw it listed in the description box and couldn't get my hands on it. I mean, there's always new makeup coming out, oftentimes with the same color story so it's not like people can't get something similar. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing people get rid of products they aren't using but if you truly love a product, why get rid of it? LOL I don't know why it makes me so sad.🥴😂 Anyway, great job on your declutter! Since you're happy with your decisions, that's what matters. It just hurt to see the beautiful Cocoa Mirage go and in the last declutter video, all of the older, better quality Chanel blushes go. 😅🤦🏻♀
I think your video idea is a GREAT one! I hope some folks do it!
Exactly. A video showing iconic, or discontinued quads and current, available dupes for those who still want to get hold of their discontinued favourites shades will always be popular.
I just about had a heart attack when you got rid of Cocoa Mirage 😭 Im holding on to mine for dear life!!
I bought Noir Fume after your try on video and it's still to this day one of my favorites palette! But it got discontinued a while ago...which breaks my heart. I don't want to use it because I can't get it anymore (and don't want to be attached to it) but I also can't let it go because I do love it so much 😢
I started the practice of dating every piece of makeup that I buy with a sharpie. I have no problems purging when their time is up! We just never know what’s been “growing” on our lipsticks etc that have been sitting in a drawer for quite sometime.
O m g I wish I lived close to you I would be at your home and be your best friend. Well I guess I could be from the east coast anyway. I love the mink mirage and would love to try the cocoa mirage and of course the nude dip and mercurial have the stunning highlighters in them that make my old eyes just gleem. I always love the basic black brown and white and now I add the highlighters and love the dark shades of purple/maroons. I think the Tom Ford eyeshadows are the best I have used. I can’t believe you give them away. Love you Michele!
I cry. Literally I cry with you … thinking of my own TF drawer…You r my hero Michele
Michele - you have inspired me to declutter my own TF collection. As much as it will pain me to do so, I have so many I never reach for. Thank you for the weekend inspiration!
Great job! The ones you kept are perfect!
Never easy to declutter! Especially given your extensive collection - amazing stash. Great video; I need to declutter my own - much smaller - collection. 😎
Well, I think you’ve just killed me. Especially with cognac sable and burnished amber! I have them both in my collection ( all most the entire tf quads collection from the very beginning) I searched so hard to get the burnished amber after it been discontinued, I still have two new back ups of cognac sable. They will be with me forever!
Thank goodness. I thought I was the only one with backups of Cognac Sable and Cocoa Mirage. I'm still hard pressed to find make up as buttery smooth as those ones.
Hi Michelle you done a fabulous job decluttering see you in your next one 🌸🌺
Not easy to do! Good job! It has to feel so good. A couple of years ago, you used to do much more swatching, including discontinued items for reference or doing in depth videos on one brand or one type of product. Your channel has grown into what it is today and you haven't been doing that as much, which is understandable. Swatching discontinued items only helps as a reference for those who own the discontinued item for comparison and takes more time to pull everything out and put it back. I love declutters!
Cocoa mirage and mink mirage 😭 I think you need to keep those Michelle.
The problem is not with the declutter, the problem lies with choosing to aquire way TOO MUCH! and not choosing to deal with that! Constantly leading then to waste and then choosing to justify that!🤷♀️🧡
Wow that was tough to watch but totally appreciate why you need to declutter old/irrelevant (to you) makeup. I have held on to cocoa mirage and silver topaz for too long and you’ve inspired me to let them go now. Thank you Michelle!
Nooooooooo!!! Not the Cognac Sable! Michele I feel your pain! You are much braver than I am. Much braver!!
This motivated me to declutter my eyeshadow palettes. Many of my older Charlotte Tilbury quads are now gone (the quality isn’t nearly as good as the newer ones) but I can seem to let go of my ND Metropolis palette even though it’s been at least a year since I used it.
you did a great job by decluttering all those tom ford quad and decide to choose the most great quality quad among all that 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 i love makeup too and i collecting all palette if i like any brand but because of there is too much makeup and im not using it and got some of it are old enough...so i decide to cut down my collection a bit and just keep the best one....😊
Can you please share with us what makeup you are wearing in the video? Your skin looks fantastic!
Omg that lip color. Swoon !!! I’m seeing this like saying. I’m getting on a plane. Stand at your door and say “ will clean for them “ haha. Yes
Seeing all those TF palettes together was like looking at the same 15-20 shades that simply got shuffled about to make "new" palettes. It's like looking at the luxury version of Colourpop. The colour variations aren't wide enough to make owning all of them seem necessary, therefore I'm glad you purged your TF collection. Out of what you kept, and although they're nice looking palettes, I think you could still let go of a bunch and never notice that you were missing any shades because you still had them (or a close dupe of them) elsewhere, you know? I understand why you kept the ones you did because you really like them. It's just something I noticed.
It could be a good serie videos of trying again to decide if I keep it
As a librarian who loves makeup, I loved the "I'm not a makeup librarian" comment!
Omg I really want that cocoa mirage🥲🥲🥲
It is unbelievable you decluttered that many beautiful TF quads and this must be very tough for you but I think you did the right thing to let them go.
Not you getting rid of all the ones I love, last dance made me gasp at how pretty it was ! You did a great job, I would have had such a hard time getting rid of so many beauties.
Well done...look forward to the same process for all of your brands!
noope my tom fords are my babies
Ohhhhhh the quads. 😅 ur brave my lady. 🙏🏼❤️😘😘😘Sandy
Getting rid of ones you opened up and seemed to feel so much joy just because they aren’t available anymore seems kind of sad 😞 I know it is less applicable to your job then but you use makeup for personal use too!
It’s hard and I wish there was a support group for cleaning out things like closets and makeup. Hard to get rid of the quads especially like Dior and T Ford and Natasha Denona.
Ah you should put them on ebay ! I would definitely like to buy them!
Hello TF lovers…. I just purchased my first quad TF Disco Dust, and I experience a lot of fallouts. I always use primer on my eyes and wanted to see if you have the same problem
I love Mecurial, First Frost, Body Heat, Soleil D’Hiver, Sous Le Sable, Virgin Orchid, and Nude Dip, I’ll keep them until they turn to dust, lol…good job Michelle!
I still have my cognac sable from 10 years ago😂But I’ve retired it into my memory box and holding it only because it was the first MU item I bought when I went to Dubai for our first family holiday🌴☀️(I did try to use it a few weeks ago but the pigments have completely deteriorated and it was like using dust on my eyes🙃)
I rarely wore my Cognac Sable, which is a shame, but I read your comment, tried mine and it was still wore perfectly for the whole day. I even got compliments from my nieces and nephew. I wish TF would bring it back.
So proud of you! That would not have been easy 😩😩😩 but it was really good and encourage you to keep going 🥂
