In my experience, if you’re more brutal in areas you aren’t obsessed with, it frees you up to hold on to more of what you are obsessed with. For example, I also love palettes. So I just allow myself to and not feel guilty about having more palettes than one person needs. I make room for them by acknowledging I really only use one concealer anyway, so I don’t need 12 of those. Or primers, or bronzers.
I made an inventory of my makeup and skincare collection last night and was absolutely shocked by the number of items I have. Its definitely jarring when you write the number per category on paper. :-O
Try a weekly makeup basket, where you pick out one foundation, one powder, one mascara, etc that you’ll use for the week. Some do it for a month. Have the “ basket” ( you can use a tray or something easy) have its own space, that way you rotate out week to week and don’t have to go into those acrylic drawers every day. There’s a lot of RUclips videos about weekly makeup baskets
Easiest way to keep your makeup collection under control is to refuse first. I'm so so picky about what I buy. I have to absolutely love it and I never buy something in the same category I already have. When I want to try something out, I use up what I have in that category.
I always do a major decluttering every year or so and it pains me to throw or give away makeup items that I used to love lol. My collection was getting out of hand, and now I curated it to contain products that I pretty much always use!
I would really love it if you did a “saved items per category” video - talking about and comparing tinted moisturizers, for example, showing how they apply and the finish while telling us why you decided to keep them. It would be great 👍🏽 p.s. the Diptyque perfumes keep perfectly and never ever go off for YEARS xx
These decluttering videos break my heart. People spend all this money to buy these things and then they don't even use them. I wish that those things go to a charity for women who don't have enough money to buy things like makeup or to friends who will use them.
Most youtubers who do decluttering videos usually give their makeup to family and friends as long as the products aren’t expired. Unfortunately most women’s shelters and donation banks don’t take opened makeup :(
Luntik Funtik Right?! I went thru a phase of buying all this makeup because of these makeup collections on yt and trying to find out what works for me. And now a lot is going bad, even with me giving a lot away to friends and family. I enjoy declutters because it reminds me to keep/buy what I need and use what I have. To prevent myself from over buying, I have these acrylic drawers, and if I can’t fit it in there, I won’t buy it.
I’ve just bought a brand new naked palette as I’d heard it was being discontinued. I bought it from a reputable company on line and was so happy to get a replacement- sure my original is about 7 years old!! Only problem is I feel sentimental about the original one!x
You could do makeup tutorials with the palettes you kept, like 3 different looks with the same palette, that would be cool to watch. Also, I love your hair in this video, how did you get that sightly wavy look? With a curling wand?
Wow Alix! That must have been the most successful decluttering video I have ever seen! 👏 I mean, we all have our favourites and basically these are the only products we need 😶🙃
Yes more longer Vids from you plssss.. Could you do a full face of Hourglass Makeup Tutorial next? Maybe your favourite serums and oils to use too? Not asking for much :P but you're my new makeup/beauty fave on RUclips - and both of these would make me watch! xx
Yes so good love these type of videos you do,loving your hair and your energy is so soothing! You seem so happy and content! Looking forward to part two🥳
You did very well! I remember getting rid of my naked palette and it was hard. But what’s the point in keeping things when you don’t use them. You’re basically just storing them for no reason 🤷🏻♀️
I'm also so upset about the Kiehl's perfume! It's my favourite one ever and took me a few years to get through a big bottle, but then when I went to repurchase it, they'd discontinued :(((
It breaks my heart to see you part with that Eyeko eyeliner! I absolutely love them, I think they are great value for money without being high end makeup ☺️
Just started binge watching. Thanks for the recs for Abu Dhabi lip cream just bought it. I'm obsessed with your 2018 best products makeup look trying to recreate it
I wouldn’t say this is SUPER minimalistic, but who am I to judge bc I have my one foundation, eyeshadow, blush, mascara, concealer, lip gloss and that’s about it. SUPER PROUD OF YOU THO!!
Does anybody know what the product is at 19:11 , top left with the woman on it, my girlfriend is driving herself and me crazy trying to find out what it is?
Hi , I enjoy a good declutter but over the past year I have cut my makeup by half , all my drug store makeup and skin care has been passed onto my family , now I can see and use all my high end products , I have an Alex nine drawer and when I open a drawer I can see and use my beautiful makeup , I must say all my skin care are high end but stored into my bathroom , my makeup now when I open a drawer I smile as I love every products I have , my lipsticks are Charlotte tilbury nude collection, Estée Lauder pink collection and only one red benefit ruby whoo , but I only wear at Christmas , but my very favourite collection is my Charlotte tilbury , my weakness is all her quads and three holiday palettes along with every other item she has produced , and my Estée Lauder drawer almost on par with charlottes , my complexion products are a mix of both brands , Eyeliners and brow products are a mix of both brands , however now I can open a drawer and select a product without needing to search , now they are there to see and use . I was worried the expiration dates just would overtake my collection but no I am very lucky to use all I have . Please everyone I am a mature lady we start somewhere so just enjoy , my love liz x
I think I've only ever had a couple of perfumes go off, I keep mine covered and in a cool dry space in my wardrobe, not in the sun. I know the bottles are pretty to display but the sun is not their friend :(
Why do decluttering and organising videos make me so relaxed?? Am i the only one? 😂
I'm obsessed with them too ♥
Me too!! But I’m not able to do it ...😩😂
No you’re not😂 I was about to comment this lol
No I could watch them all day😅
Don't worry, be happy ❤ i love them soooo much 💪

Julia same
I love eyeshadow palettes and lipsticks. They compose about 95% of my make up "collection" 🤣
You look kinda like drew berrymore (sp?)
Kathryn Au that’s what I thought
Yessss!! The blonde sister!
Absolutely!
that’s exactly what i thought
Yep...she does resemble her
Damn, you were ruthless!! But I loved that you were honest and realistic when thinking about what you really need☺️
Not exactly
"I'm too sentimental to be a minimalist." Sing it, sister!
Love watching makeup declutter videos. I also love hearing your thoughts on each item, like quick mini reviews. I find that really interesting.
Same. Watching "makeup declutter" videos on yt is one of my fav things to do!
WHAT?! is that Drew Barrymore!?

I really enjoy your declutter. You're very decisive of what you want to keep and what can go.
Easiest way to keep your makeup collection under control is to refuse first. I'm so so picky about what I buy. I have to absolutely love it and I never buy something in the same category I already have. When I want to try something out, I use up what I have in that category.

Jailene it feels so cleansing and freeing doesn’t it??
When alix is getting rid of these goodies that aren't available in my country am like please over here over here 😁
Ah I hope you Back to Mac the Mac products , and get new tubes of the lipsticks you did like!
I would really love it if you did a “saved items per category” video - talking about and comparing tinted moisturizers, for example, showing how they apply and the finish while telling us why you decided to keep them.

Nefeli Blossom she also gets a lot of pr so she didn’t buy ALL of it

Now this was a savage decluttering session. You have been merciless!
You could do makeup tutorials with the palettes you kept, like 3 different looks with the same palette, that would be cool to watch. Also, I love your hair in this video, how did you get that sightly wavy look? With a curling wand?
Yes, what a great idea!
1 palette, 3 looks with. I love those videos. My fav are from Marion Caméléon from France!
These kinds of videos always give me so much decluttering inspo! Like I just want to go and purge my collection right now!
Random question, but how do you declutter perfumes? Do you empty them (how?) and put in the "glass bin" or the general bin with liquid left?
Dang, you did SO GOOD!
Ps: you look amazing. Love the hair and the jumper and the minimal makeup look.
Simple & classy 🖤
I also need to declutter my makeup and my life in general! haha thanks for sharing!!
The best videos ever! Right all I need is some popcorn and a lemon and ginger tea x
I also got my Naked palette for Christmas in 2011! I held onto it until last year haha
Wow Alix! That must have been the most successful decluttering video I have ever seen! 👏 I mean, we all have our favourites and basically these are the only products we need 😶🙃
Just wanted to say that you look fantastic! I love that sweater on you, the color compliments you so well! Happy moving! xx
I love watching your declutters because I love your collection. One of my favorites!
You know it's serious when Alix goes upstairs hahaha
Oh the hourglass palettes, so pretty ;)
Love this video!! You do the best makeup declutter and fav vids.
Gosh - what a parting! Brave lady. X
You look absolutely stunning!
Aww the Naked palette! It was what first introduced me to your RUclips channel when I searched for tutorials on how to use it
Yes! I needed this today I’m so unwell 😩 very excited for all the decluttering, organising and home related content 💕 also love the jumper! X
I hope you feel better soon!
Yes to more decluttering videos 😍 Love your videos 💚 Saludos desde Argentina 💚
Yes more longer Vids from you plssss.. Could you do a full face of Hourglass Makeup Tutorial next? Maybe your favourite serums and oils to use too? Not asking for much :P but you're my new makeup/beauty fave on RUclips - and both of these would make me watch! xx
I love a good decluttering video, but I had to stop it after a few seconds to order this gorgeous jumper! 🙌🏼 Back to the vid...
Me too hahaha
This declutter is SO satisfying
It's kind of rough how you can give away so many beauties 😂 But also feels good to see you can stick to the essentials
Yes so good love these type of videos you do,loving your hair and your energy is so soothing! You seem so happy and content! Looking forward to part two🥳
Yay! A declutter video from our queen!
Do you have a link for the plastic drawer divider/box things? I can't find them online!
Just moved half of my studio today to my new place and glad I'm not the only one regretting all their stuff right now ;) good luck :D
You did very well! I remember getting rid of my naked palette and it was hard. But what’s the point in keeping things when you don’t use them. You’re basically just storing them for no reason 🤷🏻♀️
Please bring all those things you're tossing to Origins to recycle so the plastic doesn't end up in landfill!
Personally, I have very few cosmetics so I do not need such a radical cleanup as you, but it was fun to watch 😄
I'm also so upset about the Kiehl's perfume! It's my favourite one ever and took me a few years to get through a big bottle, but then when I went to repurchase it, they'd discontinued :(((
Omg can’t wait to watch this one!! Just starting the vid and I want to say that you are looking incredibly beautiful
You were so ruthless, it's impressive! 🙌
It breaks my heart to see you part with that Eyeko eyeliner! I absolutely love them, I think they are great value for money without being high end makeup ☺️
I love your jumper, when i was little we lived round the corner from that street.
NARS still offers Douceur but only in the refill pan.
Just started binge watching. Thanks for the recs for Abu Dhabi lip cream just bought it. I'm obsessed with your 2018 best products makeup look trying to recreate it
I jumped when I saw this upload!! 🙆♀️🙆♀️
Greeaaaat I have more makeup than a beauty blogger lol *throws away credit card*
ehlesdee omg same. I can’t justify it 🤦🏻♀️
Credit Card starts to cry
I wouldn’t say this is SUPER minimalistic, but who am I to judge bc I have my one foundation, eyeshadow, blush, mascara, concealer, lip gloss and that’s about it. SUPER PROUD OF YOU THO!!
Does anybody know what the product is at 19:11 , top left with the woman on it, my girlfriend is driving herself and me crazy trying to find out what it is?
Hi! It's Charlotte Tilbury's Dreamy Glow Highlighter with a 1959 Vogue image of Carmen Dell'Orefice 😀
@@laleharrison thank you so much, you're a saint.
I love watching decluttering videos, so I'm looking forward to next week's. :)
Omg
I have been dying to try the wonder glow 😩😩😩😩
Oh, my heart is bleeding. ^^ So many things you declutter is stuff I really want to try.
OMG just went down to the comments cause I was like “someone else must’ve seen the drew barrymore likeness” 😱
Why don't you de-pot all your eyeshadows and put them in a z-palette to save space?
Watching this because I love declutters..
Spotted hello kitty colourpop and super jealous 😂
Have a beautiful day :)
Why is ur naked 2 eyeshadow palette looks so different from mine??

Where did you get your containers?
Your hair!!! 💗💗💗
PROUD OF YOU
i screamed a little when i saw her chucking the dior lip glow
Wait they don’t make the naked palette any more?
Listening to this Video while cleaning up my flat 😂 so relaxing....

I’m getting anxiety watching you throw out so much product! I wish I was walking behind you holding the “trash bin”
Dana Taylor for real though. 😂

At first glance i thought you were Drew Barrymore 😁 i’ve been cleaning my collection as well and i find it so hard to separate from products
Hi , I enjoy a good declutter but over the past year I have cut my makeup by half , all my drug store makeup and skin care has been passed onto my family , now I can see and use all my high end products , I have an Alex nine drawer and when I open a drawer I can see and use my beautiful makeup , I must say all my skin care are high end but stored into my bathroom , my makeup now when I open a drawer I smile as I love every products I have , my lipsticks are Charlotte tilbury nude collection, Estée Lauder pink collection and only one red benefit ruby whoo , but I only wear at Christmas , but my very favourite collection is my Charlotte tilbury , my weakness is all her quads and three holiday palettes along with every other item she has produced , and my Estée Lauder drawer almost on par with charlottes , my complexion products are a mix of both brands ,
Eyeliners and brow products are a mix of both brands , however now I can open a drawer and select a product without needing to search , now they are there to see and use . I was worried the expiration dates just would overtake my collection but no I am very lucky to use all I have .
Please everyone I am a mature lady we start somewhere so just enjoy , my love liz x
Your hair is gorgeous! Can you tell us how you styled it?
you look like drew barrymore 💞
I think I've only ever had a couple of perfumes go off, I keep mine covered and in a cool dry space in my wardrobe, not in the sun. I know the bottles are pretty to display but the sun is not their friend :(
