Thank you, Rachel ❤️ I just feel like it's so wasteful to just throw everything away in the name of minimalism LOL. So I'd rather take my time and intentionally pare things down. I'm glad you agree :)
I think the whole minimalism trend that has been going on lately on youtube has just been grotesquely turned into an opportunity for many people to justify buying more products. The whole principle behind Minimalism is to reduce over consumption, i.e. not take more than you need. It's not an aesthetic and definitely not meant to be treated as a means to enable you to buy more. One of the joys of minimalism is that it makes you more conscious of your spending habits, and also has the potential to greatly reduce your environmental impact, eg. that tube of lipgloss or whatever is just going to sit in a landfill if you don't use it up just because you got bored of it. Minimalism shouldn't hurt, if you really like those colourpop eyeshadows, keep them! Don't just get rid of them because it fits into the aesthetic of all your makeup fitting into a makeup organizer, also getting rid of them will just give you another excuse to buy something like it again. It also serves as a reminder to yourself to take more thought and consideration when you purchase something if you're really going to use them up fully or just get bored when something newer and shiny comes along. This isn't a personal attack, I am by no means a minimalist, this is just an observation that people are decluttering just to make space for more frivolous spending.
I completely agree and def did not take this as a personal attack! The reason I'm doing this declutter is because I don't use most of what I have (and a lot of it is SO old), and that makes me sad/uncomfortable/anxious to have a lot of products just sitting there that I never touch. But I absolutely agree. It has become an aesthetic and has become a marketing buzzword for companies to try to get you to "buy into" minimalism, etc. Those Colourpop shadows are years old and I haven't reached for them once in the past year or so; this is my way of being more conscious about the items I actually reach for vs. just keeping stuff b/c I might use it one day in the future, ya know? I think it's more responsible to give something half-used away to someone who WILL finish it before it goes bad, vs. me keeping it for a day that may never come and then it going bad and being wasted without ever being finished or used. I promise I am extremely conscious of where my makeup goes when I'm done with it (whether it's given to a friend/family member, sent to Project Beauty Share, recycled curbside or if I send it to a specific Terracycle recycling box). But absolutely agree that as a society and as a community on YT as a whole, we need to be more conscious of our blind spending and consumerism. I really loved Kimberly Clark's video on consumerism, have you watched that? She somehow has a way of being hilarious and totally on point with her topics all at the same time. Also--hope you didn't take this as me being defensive about anything. I really am very conscious of my carbon footprint in my daily life, so wastefulness and overconsumption really does get to me, and I hope to find a way to work my otherwise low-waste lifestyle into this YT channel too. Super open to any video suggestions you may have, because I was brainstorming the other day how to kinda make this channel more in line with my own ethics and beliefs vs just "here's a review of some corporation's new lip set that you should buy! here's me doing free marketing for them!" LOL. Anyway, /rant over and I SUPER SUPER appreciate you leaving this thoughtful comment and I appreciate your feedback so much. Thank you for watching and for commenting, and for being so conscious of what needs to be done on YT to take us in the right direction as a community. It means a lot. Hope you are staying safe ❤️
@@NeelouGoodarzi Shelbizleee on YT is one of my favorite low-waste lifestyle people!! She's great and so relatable and even talks about makeup sometimes.
@nikibowe I definitely agree to an extent. I think one problem that's not often talked about is this mythical notion of a "perfect, curated makeup collection", and also how FOMO plays into it. Trying to curate a small collection can actually turn into buying more for some people because they're searching for the best, most perfect makeup products.
I completely agree with you dear. Recently I decluttered a lot of makeups. This is my first steps toward a minimalist life style. Could you please give me a feedback how can I become more of a minimalist. I still need to declutter a lot :( ruclips.net/video/qaqOkPcjrxM/видео.html
I agree, that's a good point. Everyone is saying to keep those two LOL. I'm gonna go back and take them out of the declutter box 😂 thanks so much for the feedback!
Never let anyone else dictate what is minimalist "enough". Minimalism isn't about having a set number of items in your possession, it's about removing what's not important to you, and keeping what is important. It's about changing your mindset, and your way of consumption. If you already have a product, keep it if you want to use it. But then when it's empty, really consider if you want to purchase it again! Even if using up something slows down the process, it's worth it. It gives you time to consider your values, and it's less wasteful. :)
Absolutely agree! I get really overwhelmed and stressed out when I have a bunch of products just sitting there that I don't use. and a lot of this stuff is like... super old LOL. But I totally agree with you. I think the stuff I decluttered is stuff that would just sit there and rot b/c i'm the kind of person that, when i decide i don't like/won't use something, I prob won't ever reach for it again LOL. But i promise you that everything I decluttered is being disposed of responsibly! I'm either giving it to someone who WILL use it before it goes bad, sending it to project beauty share, or curbside recycling it (where accepted). Things that I can send to Terracycle, I do :) Thank you for commenting! I appreciate it and I hope you're staying safe ❤️
Mimimlism isn’t about getting rid of things for the sake of it, it’s about only having things that matter to you. It’s also most definitely a journey and takes time. I hope to be there one day. You are doing a great job
I recently threw away 90% of my makeup and I still don't think I've got a minimal collection. I find it hard to let go of stuff, even expired stuff. What worked for me in the end was I pulled everything out and put back in the draws only what I really reach for on a daily or weekly basis (bc I don't wear as much makeup to work as I do when I'm off) The rest went into a bag in my guest room and I kept it there for 4 months. It was nice and comforting because I knew I could go and get anything I wanted at anytime and that took the pressure off me greatly. I kid you not, I didn't get one single item from that bag, I've been enjoying putting my makeup on more, I use more of what I kept and getting ready is so much easier and pleasurable without the visual clutter. Finally I threw it away yesterday (even then I had this sinking omg what if I want that 4yr old purple lipstick crazy feeling) Now it's finally gone I feel 1000x better.
I sooo feel ya! It makes me feel SO much better getting rid of stuff that I don't use. It's like it weighs your energy down or something. I try to give them to my friends & fam when I can so they don't go to waste :) thanks for watching!
I agree! Is there anything you think I should keep? I'm decluttering for me, really, because i get soooo overwhelmed seeing a bunch of makeup I don't use. I really only use a few products every day. How are you doing btw?! During all this craziness. Hope you're safe ❤️
@@NeelouGoodarzi well I actually think all the reasons why you said you were declutter something were good. I'm doing good I think, I just have too much homework and have to travel a lot because of work, thanks for asking, how are you? ❤️
A tip that might be helpful is whenever you use a product or brush put it in another place (a separate container or something similar) and then in 3/4 weeks time have a look at what products/brushes you haven’t used and it might help put things into perspective and give you a better idea 🤗
This was fun and relaxing to watch … thank you! I'm the opposite of you - the ONLY thing I wear is eyeshadow/mascara, and sometimes a lip color - so I got rid of all face products (blush, foundation, primer, concealer). All I have left now is 5 bullet lipsticks, one liquid lip, one open mascara, and 9 palettes! I love it - it's only what I love and use.
Thanks, Toni! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. That sounds like a good amount of makeup to have. I'm hoping to get there in my next declutter :) I still have a lot of products that I don't reach for regularly, and there's no need for me to have so much! Thank you for the feedback and I hope you're staying safe. ❤️
Toni Brown What i recommend is multitasking with products - have a blush you like but don’t wear? Use it as eyeshadow! Especially cream products - they’re great for multitasking (blush - eyeshadow, blush, lip color. Highlighter - highlighter, eyeshadow, lip highlight. Bronzer - bronzer, eyeshadow, lip color). I love using my products in many ways!
For me, I like to have a variety of products, but the main thing that limits my collection is asking myself “do I have the same shade somewhere?” Or “can I make a similar look with what I have?” And my makeup taste has changed a lot over the years, so products come and go in my collection as well. I recently finally decluttered my depotted ABH Modern Renaissance palette that I hadn’t touched in more than a year.
If you only keep what you truly love and what you use, then that is the goal of a “minimalist” mentality. I’ve seen people who barely wear makeup, have more than you, so we each need to find what is comfortable for us. ++ if you do a kitchen minimal declutter, IM HERE FOR THAT ++
Minimalism doesn’t have to look the same for everyone, its letting go of whats keeping you from being free and comfortable in your daily space and life. Sooo do you boo boo
I saw the video length and wasn't going to watch but then you started speaking ☺️ I know this is weird to say but you seem like a lovely soul and that comes across in your video. I would have definitely tried to be your friend at the playground! lol thanks for sharing!
Hi Hun, I was very intrigued by the Color Pop purple eyeshadow thing as well as you tossing the fun colored lip liners. In my life, I realized I kept buying and tossing the same bright pink lipstick. Part of me loved it and wanted to wear it and part of me wanted to be the aesthetic of a grown up (I am 30 :) ultimately I realized that I do enjoy fun bright pink Barbie lip and it’s ok to have a few things I really enjoy, even if they aren’t super useful or I don’t use the product daily. Maybe one day you get up in a playful mood and you just want to wear purple eyeshadow... even if you are just chilling at home. Specially if you didn’t expend a lot of money there should be no shame in not hitting pan all the time. There is something of a bright persona coming through in your video (the shirt you are wearing, the bright lipsticks and the gold jewelry) and that’s a part of yourself you shouldn’t divorce. Maybe purple eyeshadow wasn’t for you... but purple nail polish or lipstick will? Before tossing it what else can you do? Maybe play around with the purple eyeshadow, add some vaseline and see if you could potentially like it as a lipstick or add it to clear nail polish? I think it’s ok to experiment and if something doesn’t work you can then give it away/dispose of it( don’t be like me and just toss it away 🙄) If you are not somebody to make a product multitask that is fine, i just find that when we somehow resist giving something away is because we haven’t used it/experienced it enough yet to know whatever it should hold a space in our life or not.
I started my minimalism journey in October 2019 and I got to tell you, it absolutely changed my life. In the begging it is hard to let things go, but as time goes by, it becomes easier and easier. What minimalism brings you makes it worth it. I started with the 30 day minimalism game and it helped me starting. The majority of times I sell the “almost new” items and the other items I just ask family and friends if they want it. It’s awesome to recycle something you just don’t use and you avoid throwing things away :)
AMEN. It's weird because I'm so low-waste in my everyday life and it makes me sad that my makeup and skincare routine is not. So I hope to get there one day. But I agree, it seems like every declutter I do it's easier to part with things. And seeing the joy on my friends and family's faces when I give them like-new products that they will love and use (vs. it sitting there and rotting in my cabinet) is soooo amazing. Any tips you have or things you've learned from your minimalism journey that you can share?
Honestly I try to make a minimalism mix. I try to do a little of “the minimalists” + “goodbye things from Fumio Sasaki” and “Marie Kondo’s method of organization”. I follow some personal rules so I can keep on track. For example, if I buy something new, it means I need to throw something else away/sell/give. Like an exchange, to prevent me from accumulating and keeping the equilibrium. Secondly, if I open my closet, drawer etc and I’m not able to see everything I have in that compartment, it means I still have too much stuff. I take the “spark joy” from Marie Kondo when decluttering and I ask myself if I really need that item, or if I just want it, but don’t need it (Fumio Sasaki explains this matter really well). Once in a while I repeat the minimalism game, because it helps me go through my stuff and revise my belongings and improve my declutter. I’ve also done some digital declutter. I’ve cleaned my e-mail and unfollowed distracting Facebook pages or groups I just wasn’t using anymore. I’ve organized my photos and I always, always, take photos of the items I let go - that way, I can always remember them and I won’t feel bad for giving away a sentimental item, because I have a photograph that will remind me that someone special offered me that item. It somehow makes it easier to let go... I feel it is not ok to keep something just because it was a gift or because it was expensive or because it was one of those shopping maximalism opportunities, because we end up not using them at all. If we think it through, those items will remain folded, forgotten in the back of the drawer, and they won’t be used. And maybe there’s someone that would love one of those items and would be happy to receive it. Why not give it to that person? It will give purpose to that item and it will make that person happy. I know it is hard. I’ve tried to explain the benefits of minimalism and explain to my family and friends how much it changed my life and made me happier, but they don’t quite understand this...I think one can only understand by trying. I feel you when you talk about your makeup and skincare! What I try to make is selling the eligible items that I know I really don’t love, give away those I don’t have an interest in anymore and throw away the expired ones even though sometimes we feel it is a waste throwing them in to the garbage. To prevent accumulating a lot of skincare and makeup I try to only have a maximum number of each category and I try really really hard not to buy new items without ending the ones I have at home first. I used to buy lipstick colors I wanted to use, but I never had that event or that party where that lipstick color would be suitable. So, now, I buy more realistically - I only acquire what I really love, what I know I will certainly use and good quality stuff. I prefer having 1 luxury item than 4 poor quality items that are not making me happy and that are maybe damaging my skin. Right now I’m facing the food decluttering challenge. It really is a journey, it requires patience and perseverance. I really recommend you reading the e-book from Fumio Sasaki, it helped me a lot! There are no rules in minimalism, there are no maximum number of belongings...There is the minimalism you feel comfortable with and that is the one that will bring you happiness and piece...If you are worried then you will figure it out 🦊🧡
I’ve been trying to be more minimalist with my decisions, not necessarily with my products and objects. I know that sounds odd but it’s just a step in the right direction for me. I’m happy that you shared that everyone’s version of minimalism is different.
Wow, this sounds like a great POV. Can you tell me more? How do you apply minimalism to decision making? I'm so curious to know b/c I'm def the most indecisive person I know LOL. Thanks so much for watching/commenting!
I think you are doing good. I keep going through phases like I’d buy shit load of make up for a while and then I dint buy anything for years! Pretty confusing.
Today I put everything that I use the most into a makeup bag, and I will see if I miss anything outside of it up until my birthday in August. I have a couple of new makeup products that I want to get, but they are mostly cream/liquid blushes. I currently don’t own any so that is the one makeup item that I feel comfortable introducing. I just find that I don’t use most of the makeup that I have, but I hold onto it with the idea that maybe one day I will use it. That one day will never come and I need to realize it. This was a great video and definitely helped me. I want to become a minimalist, and I think this is a step in the right direction for me.
I like your gradual approach. We get used to having more stuff around gradually so it makes sense to minimise gradually too. There's more room for us to feel like we don't have enough after we declutter a lot and start to rebuy what we feel we're missing (which might lead to overconsuming all over again and is bad for the environment). It makes sense to gradually learn what you are reaching for and what you neglect even when you decluttered and it's now out in plain sight for you to grab. Allows to find a personal sweet spot of the amount things you are happy with.
YES YES YES to everything you said! I don't like the trash-everything-all-at-once approach. Not only is it wasteful, but I think going from having so much to having nothing makes a person want to buy more. My goal is to get rid of things I don't use without replacing them with other things I don't use (if that makes sense? lol). And it's crazy how doing it gradually you realize what you want to keep and what you don't want to keep. Something I thought i HAD to keep in my May '19 declutter, I look at now and I'm like "hell nah this is DEF going in the declutter pile!" Thank you for watching and chiming in :) really enjoyed hearing your perspective
i loved this video!! so satisfying! i just did my makeup collection and i’m definitely gonna have to do this kind of video next. thanks so much for the inspiration!!
I totally agree! That's my version of minimalist, too. Not to get to a certain number of products, but to make sure everything I keep is something I reach for on the regular. Appreciate you watching :)
I really enjoy the minimalist lifestyle , I definitely can apply that to my closet but when it comes to makeup I could never! I wake up every morning wanting a different look. Lipsticks are my weakness. Thanks for posting I really enjoyed this 💗
People tends to missunderstod the word minimalist. Milimanist means have the things that really makes you happy and enjoy the stuff that you already have without thinking constanly to buy more stuff like compulsive shoppings. People thinks minimalism means having nothing or less things as possible. This is true BUT you can have whatever you makes you happy and reduce the consumism and assess more your life, family, friends and the stuff that you keept .
This is SO, SO true. Thank you for sharing!! I don't think I can ever be a minimalist, especially when it comes to like home decor and little collectible items, but that's such a good point. If things have meaning and make you happy, that's good. Minimalism is just about getting rid of the excess clutter weighing you down. So if you're left with a ton of stuff still, but you love it all, maybe that's just what minimalism looks like for that individual! LOVE THIS. Appreciate the input
It's so wild I just came from the May 19 declutter and it's interesting seeing how things you thought to keep last time are done for you, like it really shows the journey.
Ahh so glad you enjoyed it! And YES that's why I like to declutter in "waves" as I mentioned in the video. Something I might think I "have" to keep in one declutter, I realize in the next declutter that IDGAF about it hahahah. Thanks so much for watching!
Hi , in my eyes your minimalist , I have an Alex nine drawer but I use six drawers for makeup and I only have high end makeup , I absolutely could not live without my makeup and I have just done a declutter and passed the rejected products went to my family , my makeup gives me a lot of pleasure , just buy a palette with shades you are attracted too ,
This was so therapeutic, even though I can never do the declutter myself . Cant get enough courage to part ways with makeup. You should have kept that colorpop purple shadow. it was such a great look when u wore that once with that bright purple'ish top. XX
WOOO I'm so glad you enjoyed this! Thank you. I thought this quarantine would be the perfect time to declutter lol. Ok I will go back and keep the purple shadow! I haven't gotten rid of the declutter box yet :) should I keep the blue one too?
Neelou Goodarzi I’ll never say no to keeping makeup but still for the declutter purposes, just keep one of them. Loved the look you created with that purple shadow and outfit of yours so.... XX
Your declutter item n 1 is the only mascara I've chosen to keep lol. My all time favourite, it stays on cry or laugh, plus the brush shape is awesome!! The taking it off part could be better tho, I understand your point!
I think you should keep the benefit mascara as it's for a different use particularly when you want something for longer wear, as it's close to being empty I think it would be nice to just use up :)
When I finished my last tube of they're so real I washed and kept the brush because the ball end makes its so useful for applying other mascaras especially in the corner or lower lashes.
I have that sleek pallete and I kids hate it on my face so I don't use it but it's so satisfyingly tactile and pretty to swatch and somehow I've managed to pan it that way
I have a lot of chapstick and lipbalms but I didn’t use all of them So I just kept the ones near me which I want to use up that is one is a pot and one is twist up one! Remaining ones are with my skincare and everything so I know they are there and pressurize myself to use it! You can try to do that! And keep the funky eyeshadow purple one! Nice video and thanks!❤
Ahhh I've been getting mixed responses about the colourpop shadows lol. But I literally never reach for them, so what's the point of keeping? Thanks for watching. I hope you're staying safe ❤️
I am new to your channel is my first time seeing your video and I really did appreciate it and I can relate when it comes to lipsticks and lot of mascara because I go through them every three months and glasses.💕
My goal is to keep my makeup in one space. It will take all of 2020 for me to get to this level. I have so many foundations. Where do you keep yours at? I’m not sure if you use them or not, thought to ask. Thanks !
Hi, Zari! I only have one foundation, I use the It Cosmetics CC Cream in the color light :) and I keep it on that top little insert area in my organizer. Hope that helps!
it’s crazy how ppl have such different taste when it comes to makeup. i use eyeliner everyday, use colourful shadows and stuff yet some just use mascara and a neutral eyeshadow. i can’t imagine not using eyeliner lolol :’) anyways good job on ur declutter!
@@NeelouGoodarzi keep 3eye brushes anyone you want and 2powter brushes so you can wash one and you still have another one and 1blush brush hope this helps
It looks so good! 😍 I actually got rid of some of my things from the top of my Vanity for makeup anyway. I find that I have so many organisers that I bought from ebay (set of 8 or something 'acrylic' organiser's just like yours!). That i simply don't use anymore as I put everything in my Alex drawer. My journey to less stuff (not calling it minimalist as I know I'm not) has started very recently by starting with decluttering things that I know I never used at one point I had nearly 300+ makeup items...😅 Now I have maybe 220 so it's a start. But I've also been keeping a makeup inventory! I've noticed I am actually really good at keeping my makeup numbers down in a lot of categories it's only lipstick and eyeshadows that I have the most struggle with.. 😅
Lol feel ya right there with the lipstick struggle!! 300+ down to 220 is good. Like I said, doing it in waves is super beneficial so maybe we can both revisit our collections again in a few months and get rid of more :)
THANK YOU ❤️ I don't mind the haters but it's kinda funny the things people take personally. How are you holding up during this craziness? Always great hearing from you!
@@NeelouGoodarzi It's really hard. I'm trying not to keep any back ups. You can spot clean with a spray bottle of alcohol on a face washer or towel - if you do that you don't really need more than of the same brushes. Maybe even only one? I'm also trying to only keep my favourite item from every category - so one bronzer, one blush, one concealer, etc. I can always make do with what I have .
I love your makeup style.💓 and your declutter is so fun to watch.😄 My weakness is bronzers and I don't even wear bronzer often😂 I just like having multiple bronzers.
Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I love bronzer too, I just can't justify buying anymore because I never use mine lolol. What's your fave bronzer?
@@NeelouGoodarzi I've heard lots of good things about bahama mama, but it looks a bit dark for my complexion. My favorite bronzer is ABH powder bronzer in the color Tawny.😃 I like red toned bronzers.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I noticed in this video you decluttered the tarte blush/shadow palette but I watched your previous declutter video you linked and you had decided to declutter the tarte palette in that one. Did you end up changing your mind and kept it to declutter in this one?
She said that she couldn't find anyone who wanted it and she obviusly didnt want to waste it so she decided to just keep it (but I would defo take a tarte palette) lol
@@NeelouGoodarzi it's tough but I mean, I can do it. If we're more aware of our spending I think we will make better choices and not make the mistake of buying crap lol
How weird! ND shouldn't crease for the price they charge for it LOL. At least we got it in beauty boxes! I have oily lids so I always use the UD primer potion and then I set it with some regular skin tone eyeshadow, and then I put ND on top. You could try the UD setting spray too before or after you use the shadow to help it stay in place ❤️
Agreed! The problem is, having more stuff makes me unhappy!! LOL. It stresses me out to have a lot of stuff sitting around that I don't use. But hopefully, eventually I'll get to a collection I'm 100% happy with. Thanks for watching! I hope you're staying safe ❤️
Yep, they do! It's hard. I try to collect items for recycling in categories, and if they can't be recycled curbside (like mascara, for example), in the past i've tried to locate places that have the personal beauty Terracycle box that does in fact take old mascara tubes to recycle :)
Hello 👋 Loved this video but I hope you tried to recycle your decluttered makeup. The body shop are accepting beauty packaging and other companies do too so even if you held onto these products and recycled them after quarantine that would be amazing! ❤️
1. Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it. 2. Don’t worry! I’m psycho about my recycling. Anything that I’m not giving away to friends or family, I put into categories. Whatever can be recycled curbside, I put curbside, anything I can donate to Project Beauty Share, I will, and I usually try to locate a Terracycle box. I’m on it 🤪 I really appreciate that! Glad to see others are staying conscious of our carbon footprint as well. Part of why I’m getting rid of so much is to not continue to buy and to be happy living w/less! I’ll def check out the body shop for recycling too ❤️
Yep I def will! Decided that after the video lol. Thanks for watching ❤️ your username says cruelty free; any cruelty free brands you recommend? I want to start going in that direction but I need to do a lot of research first!

“I think minimalism is a process, I think it’s a journey, I think it takes time, and I think it looks different for everyone.” YES!!!!!!!!!🙌❤️
Thank you, Rachel ❤️ I just feel like it's so wasteful to just throw everything away in the name of minimalism LOL. So I'd rather take my time and intentionally pare things down. I'm glad you agree :)
I think the whole minimalism trend that has been going on lately on youtube has just been grotesquely turned into an opportunity for many people to justify buying more products. The whole principle behind Minimalism is to reduce over consumption, i.e. not take more than you need.
It's not an aesthetic and definitely not meant to be treated as a means to enable you to buy more. One of the joys of minimalism is that it makes you more conscious of your spending habits, and also has the potential to greatly reduce your environmental impact, eg. that tube of lipgloss or whatever is just going to sit in a landfill if you don't use it up just because you got bored of it. Minimalism shouldn't hurt, if you really like those colourpop eyeshadows, keep them! Don't just get rid of them because it fits into the aesthetic of all your makeup fitting into a makeup organizer, also getting rid of them will just give you another excuse to buy something like it again. It also serves as a reminder to yourself to take more thought and consideration when you purchase something if you're really going to use them up fully or just get bored when something newer and shiny comes along.

It has become an aesthetic and has become a marketing buzzword for companies to try to get you to "buy into" minimalism, etc. Those Colourpop shadows are years old and I haven't reached for them once in the past year or so; this is my way of being more conscious about the items I actually reach for vs. just keeping stuff b/c I might use it one day in the future, ya know? I think it's more responsible to give something half-used away to someone who WILL finish it before it goes bad, vs. me keeping it for a day that may never come and then it going bad and being wasted without ever being finished or used.
I promise I am extremely conscious of where my makeup goes when I'm done with it (whether it's given to a friend/family member, sent to Project Beauty Share, recycled curbside or if I send it to a specific Terracycle recycling box). But absolutely agree that as a society and as a community on YT as a whole, we need to be more conscious of our blind spending and consumerism. I really loved Kimberly Clark's video on consumerism, have you watched that? She somehow has a way of being hilarious and totally on point with her topics all at the same time.
Also--hope you didn't take this as me being defensive about anything. I really am very conscious of my carbon footprint in my daily life, so wastefulness and overconsumption really does get to me, and I hope to find a way to work my otherwise low-waste lifestyle into this YT channel too. Super open to any video suggestions you may have, because I was brainstorming the other day how to kinda make this channel more in line with my own ethics and beliefs vs just "here's a review of some corporation's new lip set that you should buy! here's me doing free marketing for them!"

Recently I decluttered a lot of makeups. This is my first steps toward a minimalist life style. Could you please give me a feedback how can I become more of a minimalist. I still need to declutter a lot :(

I think you should keep the two funky colors. You do not want to get tired of wearing the same colors and not have any variety. 😋
I agree, that's a good point. Everyone is saying to keep those two LOL. I'm gonna go back and take them out of the declutter box 😂 thanks so much for the feedback!
It's strangely refreshing to see such a small collection being decluttered, I think it's because everything is well explained and genuinely useful.
Aww, thank you so much, Alicia! I really appreciate that ❤️ glad you enjoyed the video
Never let anyone else dictate what is minimalist "enough". Minimalism isn't about having a set number of items in your possession, it's about removing what's not important to you, and keeping what is important. It's about changing your mindset, and your way of consumption. If you already have a product, keep it if you want to use it. But then when it's empty, really consider if you want to purchase it again! Even if using up something slows down the process, it's worth it. It gives you time to consider your values, and it's less wasteful. :)
Absolutely agree! I get really overwhelmed and stressed out when I have a bunch of products just sitting there that I don't use. and a lot of this stuff is like... super old LOL. But I totally agree with you. I think the stuff I decluttered is stuff that would just sit there and rot b/c i'm the kind of person that, when i decide i don't like/won't use something, I prob won't ever reach for it again LOL.
But i promise you that everything I decluttered is being disposed of responsibly! I'm either giving it to someone who WILL use it before it goes bad, sending it to project beauty share, or curbside recycling it (where accepted). Things that I can send to Terracycle, I do :) Thank you for commenting! I appreciate it and I hope you're staying safe ❤️
Yeeessssss
Mimimlism isn’t about getting rid of things for the sake of it, it’s about only having things that matter to you. It’s also most definitely a journey and takes time. I hope to be there one day. You are doing a great job
Absolutely! It makes me feel sooo much better paring down my collection to only items I actually use. I appreciate you watching and commenting ❤️
I recently threw away 90% of my makeup and I still don't think I've got a minimal collection. I find it hard to let go of stuff, even expired stuff. What worked for me in the end was I pulled everything out and put back in the draws only what I really reach for on a daily or weekly basis (bc I don't wear as much makeup to work as I do when I'm off) The rest went into a bag in my guest room and I kept it there for 4 months. It was nice and comforting because I knew I could go and get anything I wanted at anytime and that took the pressure off me greatly. I kid you not, I didn't get one single item from that bag, I've been enjoying putting my makeup on more, I use more of what I kept and getting ready is so much easier and pleasurable without the visual clutter. Finally I threw it away yesterday (even then I had this sinking omg what if I want that 4yr old purple lipstick crazy feeling) Now it's finally gone I feel 1000x better.
I sooo feel ya! It makes me feel SO much better getting rid of stuff that I don't use. It's like it weighs your energy down or something. I try to give them to my friends & fam when I can so they don't go to waste :) thanks for watching!
I don't think you should declutter just because someone thinks you're not minimalist enough 🤔
I agree! Is there anything you think I should keep? I'm decluttering for me, really, because i get soooo overwhelmed seeing a bunch of makeup I don't use. I really only use a few products every day. How are you doing btw?! During all this craziness. Hope you're safe ❤️
@@NeelouGoodarzi well I actually think all the reasons why you said you were declutter something were good. I'm doing good I think, I just have too much homework and have to travel a lot because of work, thanks for asking, how are you? ❤️
A tip that might be helpful is whenever you use a product or brush put it in another place (a separate container or something similar) and then in 3/4 weeks time have a look at what products/brushes you haven’t used and it might help put things into perspective and give you a better idea 🤗
That's a great idea! I need to do that. I think I'll embark on that journey and use it for my next declutter vid :) thank you ❤️
I like that idea
if you use every product you have you can call it minimalism, its about to have things you use regulary
Exactly! Which is why I feel like I'm not there yet. I want to only have products I actually use. But I'm getting there!! Thanks for watching ❤️
This was fun and relaxing to watch … thank you! I'm the opposite of you - the ONLY thing I wear is eyeshadow/mascara, and sometimes a lip color - so I got rid of all face products (blush, foundation, primer, concealer). All I have left now is 5 bullet lipsticks, one liquid lip, one open mascara, and 9 palettes! I love it - it's only what I love and use.
Thanks, Toni! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. That sounds like a good amount of makeup to have. I'm hoping to get there in my next declutter :) I still have a lot of products that I don't reach for regularly, and there's no need for me to have so much! Thank you for the feedback and I hope you're staying safe. ❤️
Toni Brown
What i recommend is multitasking with products - have a blush you like but don’t wear? Use it as eyeshadow! Especially cream products - they’re great for multitasking (blush - eyeshadow, blush, lip color. Highlighter - highlighter, eyeshadow, lip highlight. Bronzer - bronzer, eyeshadow, lip color). I love using my products in many ways!
I love decluttering videos ughhh it's so nice at the endd
BIHHH me too. It's so satisfying lol. LOVE YOU THANKS FOR WATCHING
For me, I like to have a variety of products, but the main thing that limits my collection is asking myself “do I have the same shade somewhere?” Or “can I make a similar look with what I have?” And my makeup taste has changed a lot over the years, so products come and go in my collection as well. I recently finally decluttered my depotted ABH Modern Renaissance palette that I hadn’t touched in more than a year.
Yeah it's nuts how much our tastes in makeup change over time. It all comes and goes in waves for me LOL.
If you only keep what you truly love and what you use, then that is the goal of a “minimalist” mentality. I’ve seen people who barely wear makeup, have more than you, so we each need to find what is comfortable for us. ++ if you do a kitchen minimal declutter, IM HERE FOR THAT ++
Minimalism doesn’t have to look the same for everyone, its letting go of whats keeping you from being free and comfortable in your daily space and life. Sooo do you boo boo
AMEN. Glad we're on the same page :)
I saw the video length and wasn't going to watch but then you started speaking ☺️ I know this is weird to say but you seem like a lovely soul and that comes across in your video. I would have definitely tried to be your friend at the playground! lol thanks for sharing!
Hi Hun, I was very intrigued by the Color Pop purple eyeshadow thing as well as you tossing the fun colored lip liners.
In my life, I realized I kept buying and tossing the same bright pink lipstick. Part of me loved it and wanted to wear it and part of me wanted to be the aesthetic of a grown up (I am 30 :) ultimately I realized that I do enjoy fun bright pink Barbie lip and it’s ok to have a few things I really enjoy, even if they aren’t super useful or I don’t use the product daily. Maybe one day you get up in a playful mood and you just want to wear purple eyeshadow... even if you are just chilling at home. Specially if you didn’t expend a lot of money there should be no shame in not hitting pan all the time.
There is something of a bright persona coming through in your video (the shirt you are wearing, the bright lipsticks and the gold jewelry) and that’s a part of yourself you shouldn’t divorce.
Maybe purple eyeshadow wasn’t for you... but purple nail polish or lipstick will? Before tossing it what else can you do? Maybe play around with the purple eyeshadow, add some vaseline and see if you could potentially like it as a lipstick or add it to clear nail polish? I think it’s ok to experiment and if something doesn’t work you can then give it away/dispose of it( don’t be like me and just toss it away 🙄)
If you are not somebody to make a product multitask that is fine, i just find that when we somehow resist giving something away is because we haven’t used it/experienced it enough yet to know whatever it should hold a space in our life or not.
I think u should keep the purple n blue eyeshadows. They would be fun for a night out. Or maybe just keep one that looks the best on u.
good job, I like your collection. We are always so tempted with new items even though we already have items that work for us.
I started my minimalism journey in October 2019 and I got to tell you, it absolutely changed my life. In the begging it is hard to let things go, but as time goes by, it becomes easier and easier. What minimalism brings you makes it worth it. I started with the 30 day minimalism game and it helped me starting. The majority of times I sell the “almost new” items and the other items I just ask family and friends if they want it. It’s awesome to recycle something you just don’t use and you avoid throwing things away :)
AMEN. It's weird because I'm so low-waste in my everyday life and it makes me sad that my makeup and skincare routine is not. So I hope to get there one day. But I agree, it seems like every declutter I do it's easier to part with things. And seeing the joy on my friends and family's faces when I give them like-new products that they will love and use (vs. it sitting there and rotting in my cabinet) is soooo amazing. Any tips you have or things you've learned from your minimalism journey that you can share?
Honestly I try to make a minimalism mix. I try to do a little of “the minimalists” + “goodbye things from Fumio Sasaki” and “Marie Kondo’s method of organization”.
I follow some personal rules so I can keep on track. For example, if I buy something new, it means I need to throw something else away/sell/give. Like an exchange, to prevent me from accumulating and keeping the equilibrium.
Secondly, if I open my closet, drawer etc and I’m not able to see everything I have in that compartment, it means I still have too much stuff.
I take the “spark joy” from Marie Kondo when decluttering and I ask myself if I really need that item, or if I just want it, but don’t need it (Fumio Sasaki explains this matter really well).
Once in a while I repeat the minimalism game, because it helps me go through my stuff and revise my belongings and improve my declutter.
I’ve also done some digital declutter. I’ve cleaned my e-mail and unfollowed distracting Facebook pages or groups I just wasn’t using anymore.
I’ve organized my photos and I always, always, take photos of the items I let go - that way, I can always remember them and I won’t feel bad for giving away a sentimental item, because I have a photograph that will remind me that someone special offered me that item. It somehow makes it easier to let go...
I feel it is not ok to keep something just because it was a gift or because it was expensive or because it was one of those shopping maximalism opportunities, because we end up not using them at all. If we think it through, those items will remain folded, forgotten in the back of the drawer, and they won’t be used. And maybe there’s someone that would love one of those items and would be happy to receive it. Why not give it to that person? It will give purpose to that item and it will make that person happy.
I know it is hard. I’ve tried to explain the benefits of minimalism and explain to my family and friends how much it changed my life and made me happier, but they don’t quite understand this...I think one can only understand by trying.
I feel you when you talk about your makeup and skincare! What I try to make is selling the eligible items that I know I really don’t love, give away those I don’t have an interest in anymore and throw away the expired ones even though sometimes we feel it is a waste throwing them in to the garbage. To prevent accumulating a lot of skincare and makeup I try to only have a maximum number of each category and I try really really hard not to buy new items without ending the ones I have at home first. I used to buy lipstick colors I wanted to use, but I never had that event or that party where that lipstick color would be suitable. So, now, I buy more realistically - I only acquire what I really love, what I know I will certainly use and good quality stuff.
I prefer having 1 luxury item than 4 poor quality items that are not making me happy and that are maybe damaging my skin.
Right now I’m facing the food decluttering challenge.
It really is a journey, it requires patience and perseverance.
I really recommend you reading the e-book from Fumio Sasaki, it helped me a lot!
There are no rules in minimalism, there are no maximum number of belongings...There is the minimalism you feel comfortable with and that is the one that will bring you happiness and piece...If you are worried then you will figure it out 🦊🧡
This video was so satisfying and inspiring. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve been trying to be more minimalist with my decisions, not necessarily with my products and objects. I know that sounds odd but it’s just a step in the right direction for me. I’m happy that you shared that everyone’s version of minimalism is different.
Wow, this sounds like a great POV. Can you tell me more? How do you apply minimalism to decision making? I'm so curious to know b/c I'm def the most indecisive person I know LOL. Thanks so much for watching/commenting!
You did a great job. I understand your type of minimalism because I do the same, it's hard the lippie part
haha THANK YOU. YOU GET ME! The lip products are so hard. Have you decluttered anything recently?
@@NeelouGoodarzi yes I have! I tried to keep my lip collection under 35. That's my goal.
I think you are doing good. I keep going through phases like I’d buy shit load of make up for a while and then I dint buy anything for years! Pretty confusing.
Yep, I feel that! Luckily, I've been in the not-buying-makeup phase for a year or two now (minus lipstick lol). Hope you're staying safe ❤️
So inspiring! Hopefully after not buying much makeup this year at the end of the year I will have a good grip fo what I can really let go
SAME. I definitely need to go on a ban lol. LET'S DO A MAKEUP NO BUY
Today I put everything that I use the most into a makeup bag, and I will see if I miss anything outside of it up until my birthday in August. I have a couple of new makeup products that I want to get, but they are mostly cream/liquid blushes. I currently don’t own any so that is the one makeup item that I feel comfortable introducing. I just find that I don’t use most of the makeup that I have, but I hold onto it with the idea that maybe one day I will use it. That one day will never come and I need to realize it. This was a great video and definitely helped me. I want to become a minimalist, and I think this is a step in the right direction for me.
I like your gradual approach. We get used to having more stuff around gradually so it makes sense to minimise gradually too. There's more room for us to feel like we don't have enough after we declutter a lot and start to rebuy what we feel we're missing (which might lead to overconsuming all over again and is bad for the environment). It makes sense to gradually learn what you are reaching for and what you neglect even when you decluttered and it's now out in plain sight for you to grab. Allows to find a personal sweet spot of the amount things you are happy with.
YES YES YES to everything you said! I don't like the trash-everything-all-at-once approach. Not only is it wasteful, but I think going from having so much to having nothing makes a person want to buy more. My goal is to get rid of things I don't use without replacing them with other things I don't use (if that makes sense? lol). And it's crazy how doing it gradually you realize what you want to keep and what you don't want to keep. Something I thought i HAD to keep in my May '19 declutter, I look at now and I'm like "hell nah this is DEF going in the declutter pile!" Thank you for watching and chiming in :) really enjoyed hearing your perspective
Uhg i love watching declutter video's. Reminds me not to buy more makeup 😅 x
Thanks so much, Kyra. I actually just did another "final" declutter for the new year and I'm down to even less makeup!
always good to have 2 or 3 funky eyeshadows around
your collection is now the perfect size!
I agree! I'm really happy with it now. Thanks so much for watching :)
i loved this video!! so satisfying! i just did my makeup collection and i’m definitely gonna have to do this kind of video next. thanks so much for the inspiration!!
You totally should. Thanks so much for watching!
Minimalism is different for everyone! I prefer to have a smaller collection with items I love and use everyday/ often! Great video 💕
I totally agree! That's my version of minimalist, too. Not to get to a certain number of products, but to make sure everything I keep is something I reach for on the regular. Appreciate you watching :)
Don’t get rid of them if you like them! Do not be minimalist if you don’t want to!!!
I feel ya! I definitely do want to get rid of them. I get so anxious seeing a ton of stuff lying around that I never use :( lol
I really enjoy the minimalist lifestyle , I definitely can apply that to my closet but when it comes to makeup I could never! I wake up every morning wanting a different look. Lipsticks are my weakness. Thanks for posting I really enjoyed this 💗
I agree! Lipsticks are def my weakness too. Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching :)
People tends to missunderstod the word minimalist. Milimanist means have the things that really makes you happy and enjoy the stuff that you already have without thinking constanly to buy more stuff like compulsive shoppings. People thinks minimalism means having nothing or less things as possible. This is true BUT you can have whatever you makes you happy and reduce the consumism and assess more your life, family, friends and the stuff that you keept .
This is SO, SO true. Thank you for sharing!! I don't think I can ever be a minimalist, especially when it comes to like home decor and little collectible items, but that's such a good point. If things have meaning and make you happy, that's good. Minimalism is just about getting rid of the excess clutter weighing you down. So if you're left with a ton of stuff still, but you love it all, maybe that's just what minimalism looks like for that individual! LOVE THIS. Appreciate the input
It's so wild I just came from the May 19 declutter and it's interesting seeing how things you thought to keep last time are done for you, like it really shows the journey.
Ahh so glad you enjoyed it! And YES that's why I like to declutter in "waves" as I mentioned in the video. Something I might think I "have" to keep in one declutter, I realize in the next declutter that IDGAF about it hahahah. Thanks so much for watching!
Hi , in my eyes your minimalist , I have an Alex nine drawer but I use six drawers for makeup and I only have high end makeup , I absolutely could not live without my makeup and I have just done a declutter and passed the rejected products went to my family , my makeup gives me a lot of pleasure , just buy a palette with shades you are attracted too ,
Ugh high end makeup is sooo lovely. I always feel so fancy using it. Thanks for watching :)
This was so therapeutic, even though I can never do the declutter myself . Cant get enough courage to part ways with makeup. You should have kept that colorpop purple shadow. it was such a great look when u wore that once with that bright purple'ish top. XX
WOOO I'm so glad you enjoyed this! Thank you. I thought this quarantine would be the perfect time to declutter lol. Ok I will go back and keep the purple shadow! I haven't gotten rid of the declutter box yet :) should I keep the blue one too?
Neelou Goodarzi I’ll never say no to keeping makeup but still for the declutter purposes, just keep one of them. Loved the look you created with that purple shadow and outfit of yours so.... XX
I have that same tower organizer! I have three sets of drawers under the top part and I’m really happy with my collection right now!
Wooo I love being in the satisfied-with-my-collection zone lol. It's the best feeling. and YES that organizer rocks!
Your declutter item n 1 is the only mascara I've chosen to keep lol. My all time favourite, it stays on cry or laugh, plus the brush shape is awesome!! The taking it off part could be better tho, I understand your point!
Ugh I LOVE that mascara. I'm so lazy taking off my makeup at night, though 😂 what mascaras did you end up decluttering?
@@NeelouGoodarzi too faced, kiko and a supermarket brand one lol
I think you should keep the benefit mascara as it's for a different use particularly when you want something for longer wear, as it's close to being empty I think it would be nice to just use up :)
When I finished my last tube of they're so real I washed and kept the brush because the ball end makes its so useful for applying other mascaras especially in the corner or lower lashes.
That's a great idea w/the want! And yeah I will keep the Benefit one and finish it up. Not that I have anywhere to go these days LOL
I have that sleek pallete and I kids hate it on my face so I don't use it but it's so satisfyingly tactile and pretty to swatch and somehow I've managed to pan it that way
It really is sooo satisfying LOL. I don't even use every single shade but it's just so pretty.
That violet colourpop shadow would look great applied as an eyeliner!
Great idea!! I might try that. Thanks for watching. I hope you're staying safe ❤️
Palettes are enchanting but I always go for individual products that I handpicked.
I so agree! I just did a declutter video for the new year and I've def learned that lesson. No more palettes!!
i love when i get rid of makeup because my cousin loves makeup like me so every time i wanna get rid of something i give it to her
at this point her collection is probably as big or bigger than mine
I love your rings 😍😍
Thanks so much, Mar :)
I have a lot of chapstick and lipbalms but I didn’t use all of them
So I just kept the ones near me which I want to use up that is one is a pot and one is twist up one!
Remaining ones are with my skincare and everything so I know they are there and pressurize myself to use it!
You can try to do that! And keep the funky eyeshadow purple one!
Nice video and thanks!❤
So true! Out of sight, out of mind, so I have to make sure I put the things I want to use RIGHT in front of my face lol. Thanks for watching!
loved this declutter! so satisfying to watch, I think you should get rid of the two colourpop funky colors.
Ahhh I've been getting mixed responses about the colourpop shadows lol. But I literally never reach for them, so what's the point of keeping? Thanks for watching. I hope you're staying safe ❤️
They have those organizers at places like Home Goods, Marshalls, Ross, TJ Maxx ...
Yes!! Also a great place to look :)
You should definitely keep the funky colours even if you don’t use them all the time they could come in helpful during Halloween time!
That’s a great point 🤔 thanks for watching!
RUclips has sucked me into buying things. I have at least 50 eyeshadow palettes. I have a hard time getting rid of stuff especially expensive things.
I feel ya! I def went through the buy-all-the-makeup RUclips phase too.
You did a great job.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it ❤️
I am new to your channel is my first time seeing your video and I really did appreciate it and I can relate when it comes to lipsticks and lot of mascara because I go through them every three months and glasses.💕
This is so inspiring! Love how organized it is.
Thanks so much, Megan :)
this is soo amazing and super satisfying to watch! keep up the great work! x
Thank you so much!!
you should keep the 2 colourpop eyeshadows for a fun look :) ♥
Decided to keep the purple one! Thanks ❤️
Those organizers can be found at Ulta Beauty they are called Groovie Beauty (sp?)
Keep the funky colors, doesn't hurt to have 2 just in case + they are pretty!
Very true! I decided to keep the purple shadow :)
My goal is to keep my makeup in one space. It will take all of 2020 for me to get to this level. I have so many foundations. Where do you keep yours at? I’m not sure if you use them or not, thought to ask. Thanks !
Hey! She said in the video her only foundation is the It cosmetics CC cream 🙂
Hi, Zari! I only have one foundation, I use the It Cosmetics CC Cream in the color light :) and I keep it on that top little insert area in my organizer. Hope that helps!
Exactly, Catarina! Thanks for watching :)
@@NeelouGoodarzi my pleasure! I really enjoy this series as I'm on a minimalist journey myself 😊
I love my sleek blush palette in the shade take a cheeky peek.
I just found ur channel and i loved 😂😂😂
Welcome! Thank you for watching ❤️ Hope you are staying safe!!
it’s crazy how ppl have such different taste when it comes to makeup. i use eyeliner everyday, use colourful shadows and stuff yet some just use mascara and a neutral eyeshadow. i can’t imagine not using eyeliner lolol :’) anyways good job on ur declutter!
haha right?! It's funny, I used to do a liquid cat eye EVERY SINGLE DAY for yeeeeaaaars. Idk what happened, but I stopped. I think I just got lazy 😂
You did good job I will do it too🌺♥️
Thanks mom LOVE YOU
I think you should declutter more brushes maybe keep 3 or 4 eye brushes this is just my opinion
I totally agree.Which ones should I keep tho?! The struggle is real 😂
@@NeelouGoodarzi keep 3eye brushes anyone you want and 2powter brushes so you can wash one and you still have another one and 1blush brush hope this helps
It looks so good! 😍 I actually got rid of some of my things from the top of my Vanity for makeup anyway. I find that I have so many organisers that I bought from ebay (set of 8 or something 'acrylic' organiser's just like yours!). That i simply don't use anymore as I put everything in my Alex drawer. My journey to less stuff (not calling it minimalist as I know I'm not) has started very recently by starting with decluttering things that I know I never used at one point I had nearly 300+ makeup items...😅 Now I have maybe 220 so it's a start. But I've also been keeping a makeup inventory! I've noticed I am actually really good at keeping my makeup numbers down in a lot of categories it's only lipstick and eyeshadows that I have the most struggle with.. 😅
Lol feel ya right there with the lipstick struggle!! 300+ down to 220 is good. Like I said, doing it in waves is super beneficial so maybe we can both revisit our collections again in a few months and get rid of more :)
You did great!! Be proud. You are a minimalist. Ignore the haters. 🙄
THANK YOU ❤️ I don't mind the haters but it's kinda funny the things people take personally. How are you holding up during this craziness? Always great hearing from you!
Keep those eyeshadows!
AHHH thank you for the feedback! which ones?! the colourpop shadows?
@@NeelouGoodarzi Yeah, I think those colors would look really nice on you 😍😊
L’Oréal and they’re real are my favorite mascaras
AHH mascara twins! lol
You did so good! Next challenge is to have everything in one place including the glosses and brushes :)
Challenge accepted ❤️ I really only need a few brushes so I need to pare that down eventually too. Any tips??
@@NeelouGoodarzi It's really hard. I'm trying not to keep any back ups. You can spot clean with a spray bottle of alcohol on a face washer or towel - if you do that you don't really need more than of the same brushes. Maybe even only one? I'm also trying to only keep my favourite item from every category - so one bronzer, one blush, one concealer, etc. I can always make do with what I have .
Gorgeous 😍💕 great declutter vid
Thanks for watching ❤️
Part 3
I love your makeup style.💓 and your declutter is so fun to watch.😄
My weakness is bronzers and I don't even wear bronzer often😂 I just like having multiple bronzers.
Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I love bronzer too, I just can't justify buying anymore because I never use mine lolol. What's your fave bronzer?
@@NeelouGoodarzi I've heard lots of good things about bahama mama, but it looks a bit dark for my complexion.
My favorite bronzer is ABH powder bronzer in the color Tawny.😃 I like red toned bronzers.
I think you should keep one of the color pop colors eyeshadows and play with them for fun
I think you're right! Which color should I keep?
Neelou Goodarzi I think the purple is stunning but the blue is also quite pretty
Love it!! 💄👸🏻
Thanks for watching ❤️
Keep the bright eyeshadows
Decided to keep the purple one! Thanks for chiming in :)
You said you were decluttering the orange lip liner last time 😆💝
LMFAO, see! I told you, it keeps making it through declutters. This time I'm getting rid of it FOR GOOD I promise hahaha
Keep the purple one of the colourpop ones.
YES exactly what I was thinking too! thank you for watching and commenting :)
Just wondering why don't you like amazon?
Great job neelou🙂❣️
Thanks so much, Preetima! Is there anything you've decluttered recently?
@@NeelouGoodarzi yes I have declutter some of my eye palettes but I have a huge problem I just can't stop buying lipsticks 😅😭
Good job 👍 i think you should keep those funky eyeshadows it will be a change .
Thank you!! I decided to keep the purple one :)
@@NeelouGoodarzi good for you , purple is a fun color 👍🤗
Correct me if I'm wrong but I noticed in this video you decluttered the tarte blush/shadow palette but I watched your previous declutter video you linked and you had decided to declutter the tarte palette in that one. Did you end up changing your mind and kept it to declutter in this one?
She said that she couldn't find anyone who wanted it and she obviusly didnt want to waste it so she decided to just keep it (but I would defo take a tarte palette) lol
Pick one of the colourway ones. Pick your favorite and challenge yourself to play with it sometime.
Great idea! I decided to keep the purple shadow :) I have a shirt that matches it and I like the combo. Appreciate ya watching & commenting ❤️
Minimalism is definitely a journey. I'm not there yet. Maybe in 2 years 😂
hahaha I feel you ❤️
@@NeelouGoodarzi it's tough but I mean, I can do it. If we're more aware of our spending I think we will make better choices and not make the mistake of buying crap lol
I am obsessed with lip products too. So hard for me to declutter.
SO HARD. Glad to meet a fellow lip junkie! Thanks for watching :)
where's your ring from??
It's actually my dad's from a long time ago! He gave it to me and I got it resized :)
Great declutter
THANK YOU ❤️
i just have two palletes don’t do singles
I also have the ND eyeshadow from an allure box, but I find that it creases like crazy on my eye, do you have any tip on using it?
How weird! ND shouldn't crease for the price they charge for it LOL. At least we got it in beauty boxes! I have oily lids so I always use the UD primer potion and then I set it with some regular skin tone eyeshadow, and then I put ND on top. You could try the UD setting spray too before or after you use the shadow to help it stay in place ❤️
What is the e.l.f product that you showed in the face powder section? Btw, love your videos x
It’s the Perfect Finish HD Powder :)
Hi hun. Dont throw out and waste money , just use it up via project pan xxx
That's a great idea!
This wet-n-wild glitter is great in the beggining, but closer to the pan there is just more vaseline and less glitter :c
Damn LOL. That's good to know! Do you think I should just declutter it now?
@@NeelouGoodarzi Nah. But there will be a point where you will see it underperform - then I would not hesistate.
That’s good to know! Thanks, Alicja ❤️

You can also mix the glitter in the pan and re-press it! Then the product will be consistent throughout the pan!
I am a lip product lover too and its ok if you have a little more than other people. Do what makes you happy!
Agreed! The problem is, having more stuff makes me unhappy!! LOL. It stresses me out to have a lot of stuff sitting around that I don't use. But hopefully, eventually I'll get to a collection I'm 100% happy with. Thanks for watching! I hope you're staying safe ❤️
How do you get rid of mascara? They have a limited life span anyway.
Yep, they do! It's hard. I try to collect items for recycling in categories, and if they can't be recycled curbside (like mascara, for example), in the past i've tried to locate places that have the personal beauty Terracycle box that does in fact take old mascara tubes to recycle :)
What is the name of the taste eye and cheek palette you kept?
LOL it's so old I had to go down a Google rabbit hole to find it! It's called the Tarte Energy Noir Cheek & Eye Palette. Hope that helps :)
That is a little I have like a couple of palettes and other stuff
Yeah, I don't have many palettes! I think lipstick is my vice lol. Thanks for watching!
That nudestix pencil is gorgeous what is the shade name?
Right?! I love it! Glad i decided to keep it. The shade is "Vino" ❤️
Hello 👋 Loved this video but I hope you tried to recycle your decluttered makeup. The body shop are accepting beauty packaging and other companies do too so even if you held onto these products and recycled them after quarantine that would be amazing! ❤️
1. Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it. 2. Don’t worry! I’m psycho about my recycling. Anything that I’m not giving away to friends or family, I put into categories. Whatever can be recycled curbside, I put curbside, anything I can donate to Project Beauty Share, I will, and I usually try to locate a Terracycle box. I’m on it 🤪 I really appreciate that! Glad to see others are staying conscious of our carbon footprint as well. Part of why I’m getting rid of so much is to not continue to buy and to be happy living w/less! I’ll def check out the body shop for recycling too ❤️
Neelou Goodarzi That’s amazing! Glad your doing your part 😊❤️
“Sad times” 😆
LOL ❤️
You should keep that mascara and use it up
Yep I def will! Decided that after the video lol. Thanks for watching ❤️ your username says cruelty free; any cruelty free brands you recommend? I want to start going in that direction but I need to do a lot of research first!
