EMPTIES ✨💄 makeup I’ve used up + figuring out how to recycle it all

Yes, I've had three years of beauty empties sitting in my closet up til now... I swear I’m not a pack rat 🫣
This here is a big ol’ empties 2023 video! And more specifically, it’s makeup empties and makeup products I’ve used up from 2023, 2022, and 2021. (I should definitely be making yearly makeup empties videos instead of keeping all this old makeup sitting in my closet for years on end lol…)
In addition to talking about all the makeup I’ve hit pan on, we’ll also get into the nitty-gritty details of how to recycle makeup products once used up.
I’m Kelly by the way, and I’m so happy you’re here 💕

How do you get rid of your beauty empties? What makeup products have you successfully used up? share the intel down below, bestie 💄✨

[@karlareadssometimes]

It’s honestly so impressive you saved all your products for so long! And I would love to see the skincare empties! 🫶🏻

[@slowcozykelly]

Dude going through my skincare empties was SO interesting because I had a bunch of products where I'd gone through like 5+ bottles of it!!! Tons of repeat purchases! Maybe I'll try to put that video together and post it soon 🫶

Milk makeup partnered with a recycling program to recycle. It also offers refills which I did not know about.

[@alinasaephan]

Wow thank you for working so hard on the video! I enjoyed watching and learning! Will be looking forward to recycle my used up products properly from now on thanks to you ❤

[@slowcozykelly]

Aw this comment made my day!!! Thanks for watching, Alina 🥺💕 figuring out how to recycle makeup products can be so unnecessarily hard lol so I'm happy to be able to share my process!

[@kateliness2]

Completely agreed RE easy to recycle items! ♻️

[@kateliness2]

So many brands that care about sustainability are closing :( I was heartbroken when ATHR closed 💔 one of the few that I found that was certified fair trade!

[@slowcozykelly]

There's still some amazing sustainable brands out there though! Maybe I'll try to make a video rounding up some of my favorite... @@kateliness2

[@user-vb1tu3rz6r]

[@slowcozykelly]

Lol I was so embarrassed when I poured out THAT much stuff 🙈 but I really do try to use up everything I buy down to the last drop!!!
tysm for watching! 💗
