I love how clean and organized everything looks now. I've noticed that clutter is so easy to build-up sometimes it's hard to just get away from it unless you just take a day and throw things out. Thanks for always being an inspiration!
Haha yeah Michael is a rare treasure of a person to find. As delightful as shopping therapy is... I've found decluttering and getting a grip on hoarding habits gone wild feels far better. To appreciate all that we already own, reinstates the value of those things and lessens the desire to go buy more. :)
Bonjour! Thank you so much! Yes, still plenty to play with and share in videos. I think this was the best decision and I so appreciate all your support!! Thank you love! ((Hugs))
I just have to say thank you so much! You have inspired me to go through my home and clean & organizes everything. It's so hard to get motivated to do it and actually get rid of thing you don't need. So thank you for being an inspiration with who you are and what you do:)
Same here! I was shocked to see they had changed them, packaging and everything. I have one set of the new ones, although I haven't tried them yet so I can't compare. But at least they look to still be the same quality I fell in love with. :)
this is truly the best and most sophisticated organization i have seen to date! i love your makeout 2013 idea .. . more of us need that than we like to admit!
Thank you so much, I've never understood why some people choose to be mean either. Being positive and happy is so much more rewarding in life! Anyway, thank you to everyone with kind words who are actually here to see organizing/storage ideas. I'm so happy we get to share our hobbies, ideas and passions together on here. Huge hugs!! xoxo Christine
Aloha! Welcome to the islands! The heat, humidity and sweltering Hawaiian sun definitely affects how our makeup wears. I rarely wear foundation out and about during the day just because I feel my skin needs to breathe. My only tip is less is more in the heat. Although I realize that might not be helpful for what you're wanting.
you just inspired me to clean out my whole room with all my possessions! even though i didn't have a lot of makeup compared to you i got rid of what i just didn't use or even need. i also organized my whole room and cleaned out my closet, i got rid of all my clothes and shoes and donated them. thank you so much for the inspiration!
Oh Christine! You did such a beautiful job. You've given me some good ideas how to clean up and organize. I've been thinking how I want to display some of my treats because I love how it looks in a store and I want that feeling at home as well! You are simply awesome!! Much love, Susan
Oh, good eye! Yep, those are my Spornette brushes, I love dual bristle brushes, boar bristle and nylon combos are must haves in my hair care collection. :)
The size of your collection sounds perfect to me! In fact, just seeing you list your products like this in print has given me an idea, I should do the same! #1. Itemize what I currently have. #2. Then create an itemized inventory of my ideal collection. Hmm, should I film this project?
Thanks! Back 2 MAC is their recycling program, save up 6 empties and return them for a free lipstick (at counters) or free lipstick or eyeshadow (at store locations).
I love this collection, literally love! I love the fact that you have everything so organized and looks great! I love that you really don't have tons of foundation, too! It just doesn't make sense to me when people have tons of foundation.. like you don't need a variety of foundation. But anyway. I just love this collection! It's so organized and just looks great. Please update!
Thank you sooo much for the inspiration ! I just cleaned out my hole room , closet , vanity , and bathroom . I got rid of everything i didn't need .. So thanks ! Great collection !
I'm a student and don't have a lot of make up. The only make up item i'm always looking for is a better foundation because of my bad skin, my eyes, lips etc always look pretty much the same. Before your videos I was always thinking that I should buy more eyeshadows and other stuff so I would have my own little collection. Now I'm more happy with what I have and don't feel the need to buy more, I got all I need :) Thanks for making me feel this way!
it's all good; I think this happens when a lot of people comment more or less at the same time and YT just can't keep up. it was basically saying that, like many other viewers, i was inspired by your less mess less stress approach & will also put some of it into practice for myself in 2013 and mostly to thank you for the inspiration and for your honesty :)
So clean and refreshing. Like how you have the clear containers with the brand ib each draw.not pricey like the Ikea storages. Ur nail polish is pretty n hands are pretty
Such an inspiring series, Sweetie! I am going to take another look at Hard Candy, since the display at my Walmart is always such a mess, I never really look at it! Your organizing will probably help you to use up more of what you have. And I love that you donated such nice things to the shelter for women! Way to go!
your videos inspired me to take the same approach to my ridiculous collection of clothes, bags and shoes collected over the years... i'm now sitting in the midst of complete chaos here in Germany on a Sunday afternoon after staying up all night sifting through it all... and all because of you!! ;) thanks for the constantly awesome videos x
Thank you! Haha, yes you guessed it! Ross! Yeah we're lucky this is a pretty mellow little island. People shop respectfully and don't trash the stores, which is appreciated by everyone. I hear ya though, I have seen some bad ones in other cities.
LOVE this series of vids!!!! You have inspired me soooo much! I read a story about na family where each person (including the kids) could only own 100 things, total. That's a bit extreme for me, but with that story and you doing these vids, I've pared down so much! I resisted the urge to shop yesterday because of your video-it only makes me feel better in the short term Thanks so much!!
Oh yes, I talked about that in my nail care routine video. I contacted Seche Vite about toluene when I first started using them but I personally don't have much of a concern, I just make sure to use it in a well ventilated area. More info is posted in the downbar of my nail routine video. :)
Aww, no worries here love! I've got it all figured out, knowing approximately how long it takes me to go through those items, what I currently have should carry me through the year fairly easily. But if I do finish something that I just can't live without, I have 10 credits to use for those must haves. ;D
I have to thank you Christine,you have given me the impetous to slim down my 'stuff'', my husband is absolutely amazed! Oh how cleansing, I feel really like I've done myself a favour and donated all the dross to the Salvation Army. Thank you again
I love Hard Candy pin up too!! And I'm super fair, so I use it as a bronzer instead of a highlight. Just goes to show how universal it is! :) I even have a back up, because I use it every single day!
Fantastic! You still have plenty to work with and I cannot wait to see how it dwindles down throughout the year. I am participating in the Make Out 2013 as well. I love decluttering :) I am sure going to miss this series of videos, although all of your videos are great.
Great questions, the only change is reality set in, and the realization that I was literally throwing my money away by stock piling makeup that I would never be able to use up. It hit me how absurd it was. I still love makeup, tutorials, sharing favorite products, etc. But my constant consumerism was ridiculous, it's considered "normal" by YT standards but just collecting makeup wasn't practical for real life being that I'm not an actual makeup artist, just an enthusiast. :)
wow you cleared out a lot but you still have alot...cant wait til my collection looks like that. trust me i have alot but nothing like what you have..and i really like how you organize by brand, i definitely need to start expanding in my variety in my makeup brands.
Hi Christine! Just wanted to let you know that because of you, I've started using natural oils for my skincare just a few days ago, and my skin already looks amazing! Thanks for being such an inspiration : )
Truly a beautiful collection very well rounded and you have a beautiful home from what I can see. One of my ever so favourite collections by far. Thank you for this sneak peek!!
Yes, it's so funny how things collect and start piling up over time. I was actually thinking each time I felt tempted to buy some new piece of makeup, that instead I would take that exact amount of money and put it into a separate savings, then at the end of the year I would see how much I would have spent. So if I decide to do that, I'll share the outcome. :)
"Hope Girl" I believe it's a Korean cosmetic line, my friend sent it to me from Thailand. It's excellent quality and about the same price as a MAC lipstick.
Your whole simplification process is inspiring! I Know you said you want to continue with the declutter process. Have you considered turning everything upside down or the wrong way, and then putting it right side up as you use it. In 6 months to a year (whatever you feel is best) you get rid of everything in the wrong direction b/c it's not been used.
I recently did a purge of my makeup, clothing, nail polish etc. and it really felt good. But I still find myself missing some of the things that I tossed. I'm giving myself a goal to use up at least 5 things before I buy anything makeup related. Good luck! You're a great role model :)
I love that marble type of table on the vanity , it's beautiful ... I like that you have a lot of Too Faced products, i dont see that often in videos like this, those always atract my attention, id like to get some of their stuff.
Congratulations on your decision to finally get organized and getting rid of the things you don't need or want. I know it takes a lot of guts to do that! Thanks for sharing :)
Great job! I love your bathroom! Have you tried Out the Door? I used Seche Vite for years and decided to try OTD a few months ago. Love it so much better.
Aww, I bet the hubby is breathing a silent sigh of relief lol. They're such sweethearts! I totally hear you about the YT influence. Funny, the more I watched the perpetual excitement about every new product and haul, the less interested I became lol. Weird, I know. I agree, being practical and realistic with purchases, is much more rewarding and refreshing.
I find the best way to use up makeup is to separate makeup into "daily" looks. For instance I have three blushes (one pink, one peach and one sparkly rose) that I use with particular items of makeup to make one makeup look each. I have had lots of makeup but this process seems to help me use products up faster.
Aww, thank you! Yeah last year I gave a Hard Candy blush to a friend, missed it and ended up repurchasing it lol. But that's the only item I've ever missed. I like your project 5 pan goal, you have all my support! xoxo
I love how clean and organized everything looks now. I've noticed that clutter is so easy to build-up sometimes it's hard to just get away from it unless you just take a day and throw things out. Thanks for always being an inspiration!
I can this video over and over and over again without getting tired of it. It's just so great. I wish I had that much makeup.
This collection/storage organization video just gave me life...lol. Thumbs up!
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate all the love and support!! xoxo Christine
You have it set up so NICE! This vid really makes me want to revamp my entire Collection !! THANKS FOR THE VIDEO! :D
This is by far one of my favorite makeup/storage collection videos! I love the entire setup! I'm saving this to my faves!
Haha yeah Michael is a rare treasure of a person to find. As delightful as shopping therapy is... I've found decluttering and getting a grip on hoarding habits gone wild feels far better.

Everything looks simply fabulous! I really enjoyed watching you on this journey. Thanks for sharing.

I love how you have organized all your stuff, this video has given me great ideas for how to tidy my own make up collection. Thank you!
this is truly the best and most sophisticated organization i have seen to date! i love your makeout 2013 idea .. . more of us need that than we like to admit!
Thanks! It's by Fossil, I can't recall the style name but it's white ceramic with Swarovski crystals, bought it at Macy's.
Thank you so much, I've never understood why some people choose to be mean either. Being positive and happy is so much more rewarding in life!

You idea of less stuff less stress is wonderful! I totally support that idea! Everything looks so nice and organized. Love your videos 3

Thank you so much Amanda! Sure! I'll do a video sharing all my favorite ways of using tea tree oil. xoxo Christine
Oh Christine! You did such a beautiful job. You've given me some good ideas how to clean up and organize. I've been thinking how I want to display some of my treats because I love how it looks in a store and I want that feeling at home as well! You are simply awesome!! Much love, Susan
Oh, good eye! Yep, those are my Spornette brushes, I love dual bristle brushes, boar bristle and nylon combos are must haves in my hair care collection. :)
I love how you know all the names to everything and great job having a steady hand while filming !
Its so refreshing to see a youtuber that focuses on having LESS, not more. Keep up the good work!

Great decision! can't wait to see your progress as you use up items from your collection, it's always exciting to hit pan on something!
Your makeup collection is so clean and pretty! I LOVE it
I love how organized you are!! Amazing products!! You have such beautiful hands!!
My favorite makeup collection, by far. I always come back to this video for tips and ideas. Love you, Pinksofoxy! Please update!
Wow the whole bathroom is prettyyyy and I like your glass and your wood containers! And the fact it's all tidy in the drawers!!
Love love LOVE your bathroom/makeup room. So pretty yet simple.
Thank you sooo much for the inspiration ! I just cleaned out my hole room , closet , vanity , and bathroom . I got rid of everything i didn't need .. So thanks ! Great collection !
Love your organization. You're the only person I can watch with a handheld camera. I usually get motion sickness but not with your videos! Thanks!

Your organizing will probably help you to use up more of what you have. And I love that you donated such nice things to the shelter for women! Way to go!
its so cool you make your own stuff, like the serums and everything. awesome idea.
I looooooove your make up collection!! The organization is just perfect. Love it!
You have an amazing makeup collection! I love how you organize your stuff, very pretty!
Wow! So organized- talk about "spring cleaning" inspiration: ) Thanks for the great ideas
your videos inspired me to take the same approach to my ridiculous collection of clothes, bags and shoes collected over the years... i'm now sitting in the midst of complete chaos here in Germany on a Sunday afternoon after staying up all night sifting through it all... and all because of you!! ;) thanks for the constantly awesome videos x
this was really helpful! I love the way that you decorated your vanity. Very cute!
Amazing! You're a huge inspiration and I am so proud of your whole decluttering process! Loved the entire Declutter Vlog video collection.
I soooo want your vanity! Love the products you use!
I've never tried 100% Pure makeup, I've heard mixed reviews. But their body creams and scrubs are must haves for me, so delicious!
Did you try changing the quality your viewing it in? I recommend HD or at least 480p.
Looks so neat and organized! I really applaud your efforts to pare down and get back to essentials :)
Lovely collection! It was one of the more realistic collections. And I agree you do have gorgeous hands!
WOW I love how organized everything is!
Yes, the vanity area is pretty much done for now but I have more decluttering to do in the front room. :)
Thank you for sharing your organization tips and how you are streamlining your life. Awesome job.
Thank you! Haha, yes you guessed it! Ross! Yeah we're lucky this is a pretty mellow little island. People shop respectfully and don't trash the stores, which is appreciated by everyone. I hear ya though, I have seen some bad ones in other cities.

This is the neatest and well thought out collection I've seen so far on RUclips. I really enjoyed watching this. Xxx
I love Hard Candy pin up too!! And I'm super fair, so I use it as a bronzer instead of a highlight. Just goes to show how universal it is! :) I even have a back up, because I use it every single day!
Aww, thank you! Welcome! Yeah Nicole is such a sweetheart, love her! xoxo Christine
im glad i watched this. I never thought about using pencil holders for brushes/lip glosses, etc. going to get some now!
Fantastic! You still have plenty to work with and I cannot wait to see how it dwindles down throughout the year. I am participating in the Make Out 2013 as well. I love decluttering :) I am sure going to miss this series of videos, although all of your videos are great.

Thanks! The pink one is Flamingo, it's so pretty! Love it!
I love how you dont throw your makeup around like some people! This is an awesome collection and I loved the storage tactics. Subscribed!
No disappointment here! I totally understand everyone will have different tastes in organization styles. :)
wow you cleared out a lot but you still have alot...cant wait til my collection looks like that. trust me i have alot but nothing like what you have..and i really like how you organize by brand, i definitely need to start expanding in my variety in my makeup brands.

I love how you have organised this just watched one of your old collection videos yesterday. X
Truly a beautiful collection very well rounded and you have a beautiful home from what I can see. One of my ever so favourite collections by far. Thank you for this sneak peek!!
What brand is your cheetah lipstick?
Yes, it's so funny how things collect and start piling up over time. I was actually thinking each time I felt tempted to buy some new piece of makeup, that instead I would take that exact amount of money and put it into a separate savings, then at the end of the year I would see how much I would have spent. So if I decide to do that, I'll share the outcome. :)
Oh sorry Susan! Still catching up on comments. I'm wearing Orly Lollipop. One of my favorites! :)
Thank you! Yes, ilovelushxo is correct. If you check my playlist under nails, my routine is listed in there.
"Hope Girl" I believe it's a Korean cosmetic line, my friend sent it to me from Thailand. It's excellent quality and about the same price as a MAC lipstick.
OMG i'm actually in LOVE with your collection of make up!!!!!
Thanks! Definitely looking forward to streamlining it more and especially using up some products! We'll see how it goes! :)
The final result is a nice make up collection. Plenty of the good stuff left and more than enough to fill 2013 with great new looks.
Great job!

She did and I agree, I think they were one of the best drugstore concealers I have tried. :)
Great job! I love your bathroom! Have you tried Out the Door? I used Seche Vite for years and decided to try OTD a few months ago. Love it so much better.
