there is not a "true" minimalist out there! Minimalism means that you own what you use and enjoy. You don't have to have an exact number of items. Just be honest with yourself and own what works for you, let other people have how much they want to have. It is about the mindset, not the comparison.
This my philosophy, if I don't use som I give it to someone else...I am a minimalist by nature...I really enjoy semplicity...the products I have are very loved and I really like them
You could also get a multi shelf item that goes up and would fit in that area or wall shelves. I also do minis to minimize clutter and have a better chance of using it up.
I've been feeling the same way about wanting less in my life and decluttering. Would love to see a similar video for your closet and apartment for the inspo!
Love how clean and organized your collection was at the end!! I also definitely don’t wash my makeup brushes as often as I should, this was a good reminder to do that and maybe clean out my collection too! 😌
This is truly a minimalistic collection. I like it, I actually have less but that is because I don't like makeup and use it only for events. Nice video and I love the reason for keeping the palettes I don't think makeup expires like it says on the bottle, but I do agree with mascara and such.
I’m obsessed with minimizing my collection since lockdown but I just realized some of it I love to look at. Emotional battle for me but beautiful collection
Another good reason to keep extra brushes on hand is if they start falling apart. Some of my BH brushes have held up well but after a few years of daily use some of them are biting the dust now. Nice video!
Personally, I wouldn't keep extras I don't need or particularly like just on the off chance that my other ones might, maybe, bite the dust years down the line. That's how clutter starts.
Thank you so much for the information. I'm a business major, so I'm trying to get more used to wearing makeup before I have an office job. Currently I only have a few products, but you definitely gave me some recommendations to keep in mind.
Powder products don’t actually expire for years but oils from your skin/brush can build up on top and that layer can go off. You can remove the top layer (scrape it off) and spray it down with isopropyl alcohol to sanitize. Since you don’t use eyeshadow that often you are probably just fine. I love your beautifully edited collection. ❤️
Get rid of all the duplicate brushes so that you are forced to clean them. You don’t have to trash them either, donate them to someone who oil paints they will be grateful. As long as the brushes don’t shed. PS I totally empathize with keeping an old expired naked 2. Lol. I kept mine forever until a few years ago when it went bad and the brush even fell apart. I now throw away old makeup as soon as it expires pretty religiously.
Loved this! And exactly - does eyeshadow really expire to the point of being bacteria-laden? I don’t think so. I’ve had palettes for years and years that are still like new. But the wet products like foundation and mascara - I replace those much, much more often.
Hi - I absolutely love your channel! I'm currently in MD but I'm moving to DC in the summer and want to start my own channel. It's crazy to see that there are like no DC RUclipsrs. I'm so happy I found your channel!
Your collection is indeed minimal. In my opinion, there’s no such thing as a true minimalist. It’s all about keeping and using only what you need, use, and love without excess; and that looks different for different people. 😀♥️
Low maintenance makeup is definitely something I'm starting to realize is just more my vibe as well. I got sucked into RUclips's version of how makeup is supposed to look, and while I still love makeup, I realized 9 times out of 10, I'd rather just wear mascara and lip balm and call it a day lol.
For me you are true minimalist. I am minimalist and I use almost all I have BC I made few bad choices. Gave all away accept few things so now I have to give it a time than I'll be just like u few product's I use and that's it . You are amazing. Being minimalist is use all u have even if this means only sometimes. So I am a dancer I don't use all the thing's I own daily so some are for my dance only still I'm minimalist. You are better but I'm in process. You are true minimalist haha be proud of yourself
I really enjoyed your video and I honestly felt very inspired to declutter my own makeup collection. However, not to be judgy or preaching, but eyeshadows do expire and old eyeshadow can transfer bacteria on your eyes and cause eye infections (which you mentioned for other eye products). Hooooweeeveeer, I understand Naked palettes are really useful (even if you don't use them daily), and because they are expensive I know you don't want to throw them away. Just try to use them with clean brushes and remember to clean around the pallet from time to time. Sending lots of love from Croatia 🥰
Love this video but i couldn't just have one lip colour in my collection im obsessed with every colour but i see how if you have a nude it goes with everything Im a mum and still love my makeup not as much as i did in my young twenties now im reaching nearly 30 i usually stick to a small amount on the daily x
Hey! Loved the video just subscribed your channel today. I am starting to buy makeup and watching your video gives me an idea to only buy useful and good items. Your white blouse is really pretty! where did you get it from?
ahh i remember your minimalist series from a few years ago when you went through all of your makeup products -- this vid brings me BACK and i am living for it
omg goals!!! I bought like 3 new pallets during the pandemic and I am now a full-time student. I do not have time for makeup anymore. It's so hard to part with them.
Well, i think a „real minimalist“ uses, what he already has...so it is NOT THE POINT to declutter things, we can use to the end, if they are ok...Right? So- good job girl 💙
i JUST got rid of a lot of the eye shadow i talked ab in this video. what really helped me was taking it out of my collection and hiding it for a month to see if i even thought about it, when i realized i didnt, i tossed it!
You can sanitize your eyeshadow. Wipe each shadow with a tissue first, then spray with 90% rubbing alcohol. Don't saturate. Wayne Goss made a video about this. Tfs
It's so refreshing to see someone with a manageable and intentional makeup collection, love it!
thank you!

I’m definitely up for a closet declutter video!!
ugh i have to build up the courage to face it LOL
@@amyrauch same LOL

will do, thank you!
You’re very sweet and realistic and ur already a minimalist chill girl
Love how clean and organized your collection was at the end!! I also definitely don’t wash my makeup brushes as often as I should, this was a good reminder to do that and maybe clean out my collection too! 😌
i literally never wash my brushes, its so gross hahaha

I always enjoy a declutter video. 😁 You are intentional and kept what you use so I think it qualifies as a minimalist collection.
thank you!!!
Thanks for giving me the motivation to declutter my closest that I have been putting off for months 🥲
LOL thats next for me too
I like this type of video! Refreshing to see creators with a small collection.
thank you!!
For some products is way too better to have minis bc it's easier to finish them and try if the fomula works for our rutine.
yes! thats why i got the mini concealers, i wanted to test out the nars one!
Sooo true...it is the best way to test products you are not sure about
I’m obsessed with minimizing my collection since lockdown but I just realized some of it I love to look at. Emotional battle for me but beautiful collection
I love decluttering! I recently decluttered almost 50 eyeshadow palettes, now I have only 1 and 5 singles!
ahh thats awesome!
I think I need to declutter my make-up stuff. Thanks for giving me the sign girl! You're such a role model to me
you got it!!!
Another good reason to keep extra brushes on hand is if they start falling apart. Some of my BH brushes have held up well but after a few years of daily use some of them are biting the dust now. Nice video!
yes, good point!

im so glad!!!
I liked hearing you talking through all your decisions. Just know if you make a decluttering video for 1 - one - kitchen drawer I will watch!
OMG stop do not feed my ego like this
@@amyrauch never! 😂 just please don't stop making videos anytime soon ❣️

I am interested in these videos!

they definitely do but i like to pretend they don’t 🤗
Hi - I absolutely love your channel! I'm currently in MD but I'm moving to DC in the summer and want to start my own channel. It's crazy to see that there are like no DC RUclipsrs. I'm so happy I found your channel!

I love declutters! Great video

Do floating shelves in your bathroom for more space

Love the way you talk
omg thank you
hello i'm from Brazil and i would like you to also add subtitles in portuguese
Well, i think a „real minimalist“ uses, what he already has...so it is NOT THE POINT to declutter things, we can use to the end, if they are ok...Right? So- good job girl 💙

Hi
Only youtuber that has less makeup than me lol
LOL
Second
wahooo 🥳
I'm trying to be minimalist myself but I can't seem to let go of my expired make up hahaha
i JUST got rid of a lot of the eye shadow i talked ab in this video. what really helped me was taking it out of my collection and hiding it for a month to see if i even thought about it, when i realized i didnt, i tossed it!
Off topic but idk if it's just me but you sound so much like Paris Hilton lmao 💀
omg an icon
This is not minimalistic…..
I feel the same way about eyeshadow too. Like do you really expire?! lol 🤔
hahahahahha
