Decluttering makeup

@@TheStyleStumbler You're very strong, I'd totally have keep it!

[@yaelberger8]

You're voice is so relaxing and nice, every time I watch your videos I think to myself you could be a wonderful audiobook narrator

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Thank you! That is actually one of my day jobs (voice acting). I just have to cross my fingers that AI won't steal my voice (or my job). 😂

[@yaelberger8]

@TheStyleStumbler I sure hope so! Have you done any audiobooks that I could search for?

[@TheStyleStumbler]

@@yaelberger8 I haven't done any audio books yet. I've recorded voices for theme park announcements, for corporate videos, I've done dubbing for commercials, and played cartoon voices. I'd definitely be up for recording an audio book at some point. (Just in case an agent is reading this. 😂)

[@yaelberger8]

@TheStyleStumbler I would love that! I love audiobooks and I think your lovely voice would be perfect for it

[@MsAlyssaJM]

I love that it is an audition box. Such a fun way to call it!

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Thank you! A fun name for a fun box. 😂

[@pajamamama5965]

This is fantastic! Yes to every question you asked LOL. I really want to see swatches of the new things compared to what's in your collection. That's always fun.Sorry to hear that you're sick but your voice still sounds amazing LOL Feel better soon! And enjoy your new guddies. Especially that new Natasha palette. How exciting :)

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Ok! I'll try to show myself comparing the things to what I have and actively show the process of deciding what to keep. I am definitely looking forward to that Natasha palette - I feel like I won the lottery!

[@pajamamama5965]

@TheStyleStumbler That will make a fun video! Maybe even need to do more than one LOL. I thought the same thing about the lottery. It must have just been the wrong color story for someone. I enjoyed your giggle of surprise and happiness. Those palettes are not cheap. I only have one of her palates and it's a 5 PAN. I like it a lot but not enough to spend $70 on eye shadow.

[@CarmelNicoleBeauty]

Oh Stephanie, I’m sorry that you’re unwell! I hope you’re okay? For what it’s worth, this adds asmr vibes of your channel! Love it! ☺️ Holy wow. You’re not helping with my need to purchase a Bobbi Brown palette 😭 Chanel Undertone is super dry, but it’s also stunning. I use a hydrating mist to help with mine (I love the gifting idea between you & your friend!) I’m such a makeup hoarder, I don’t think I could ever declutter 😂 This was great, well done! ❤

[@TheStyleStumbler]

There's a silver lining to every cloud. 😂 Yes, I'm REALLY surprised that Bobbi Brown baked gelee shadows don't get more hype than they do. I'm pretty blown away by their quality. Thank you for the tip about using the hydraing mist with Undertone. I'll definitely give that a try. The "decluttered" gift practice has actually spread to several of my friends and family now, and I think it's great. The gifts are just as thoughtful, but we're all saving money and the environment by limiting the amount of new things we buy for people. I also got a beautiful pair of winter boots for Christmas that were pre-loved, and I am so happy with them. I can see how being surrounded by such lovely makeup would make it hard to declutter any of it - especially since you love playing with it so much! If I had the space (and time) for more, I would probably fill it pretty quickly. ;-)

[@shawndickson2390]

I thought you were incredibly successful today. I’m so sorry you’re sick. I’d love to see a video of you trying things for science. Another thing I thought was wouldn’t it be cool to see you audition those single eyeshadows and comparing them to the ones you already own like a whole video on it and what’s the best formula between them

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Thank you so much for the suggestions! I'll put those on my video idea list, because I think they would be a lot of fun if I have time. Thanks for taking a moment to send some encouragement! 💛

[@meepmoopmeep1]

Your friends and family decluttered some awesome things! I hope you like the Clarins lip oil! Just yesterday I completely finished mine. Feel better soon!

[@TheStyleStumbler]

They really did! It was hard to pass some of them along. 😂 I can't wait to try that lip oil. I'm just waiting until I'm healthy again to do it.

[@Lavender_field_dreams4]

"at capacity" is my favorite thing to say when people ask if I want more kids. I have 3. 😊

[@TheStyleStumbler]

It's such a useful phrase and applies to so many things: children included! 😊

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

The Chanel face palette can be worn on the eyes too 😂 I do like your idea of makeup audition box 🧡

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Ooooooooooo, I can't wait to play with the Chanel face palette on the eyes, too. So much makeup, so little face! 😂

[@SBaltz-yi4ow]

I am jealous that you got Chanel Undertone. It’s my favorite. A tip: a moisturizing mist will extend its life and help with application if you find it too dry. Spray the shadow before closing. The Jane Iredale foundation is excellent for rosacea. The brush was for the loose foundation. Please ask if you have any questions.

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Thank you so much for the tips! I will definitely try that if I have any trouble.

[@Marijana0001]

How did you get so much of decluttered make up? You have really showed nerves of steel faced with so much good makeup 😀

[@TheStyleStumbler]

It was decluttered to me from several different people. It was hard! But I think the container concept really saved me.

[@minazohradalagerjensen]

You’re doing much better than I would saying no thanks 😅🎉🎉

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Thank you! Saying no to "Spot" and some of those eyeshadows felt like real progress to me. 😂

[@meganweber3125]

The tinted moisturizer by wet n wild is incredible. Truly wonderful. I even go through the process of color correcting with white and blue adjusters in order to make it work for my super pale olive undertoned skin and I don't do that for any other foundation. It is worth the hassle. I love it so much. It holds up on my oily skin for over 12 hours. It is that good.

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Wow! Now I'm REALLY glad to try it for science. (And maybe more.) Thanks for sharing your experience with it!

[@MajMaj853]

YES - to a test of the Fenty powder!

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Ok - got it!

[@aashild1986]

Lovely video 🥰 Would love to see you test the fenty powder! I wonder if it's any good for my dry skin🤔 Those CT eyeshadows looks beautiful 😍 Hope you feel better soon❤

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Thanks for the well wishes, Åshild! I will definitely give the Fenty powder a try. 💛

[@1986malami]

I’m soooo jealous of the Rockatoru blush. It was my favourite out of all of the Benefit blushes. Constantly looking for dupe, but nothing can compare to it.

[@TheStyleStumbler]

That's EXACTLY what the recipient said when I gave it to them! It's always tough when one of our favorite things gets discontinued. I think my favorite cream blush just got discontinued, so I feel your pain.

[@barbieojeda454]

Those single shadows though… 🥰

[@TheStyleStumbler]

I cannot WAIT to have a swatch party with them. I'll try to film it.

[@jjjjk1241]

You are a much stronger person than I am! I would’ve found a different (bigger) lipstick container and said sure! I have room for more lipsticks! I use that Lancome lash primer and I think it works really well. It doesn’t irritate my eyes at all, and I do have sensitive eyes. I believe the actual instructions for it are to put on your mascara while the primer is still wet. 😊 You should try the Chanel LE ROUGE DUO ULTRA TENUE Ultrawear Liquid Lip Colour for your performance lipstick. The color really does stay on! You might have to refresh the gloss topper occasionally, but the color stays on all day!

[@TheStyleStumbler]

The way you feel about lipsticks is the way I feel about eyeshadow. I have a much harder time "staying" strong in that category. 😂 Thanks for sharing your experience with the Lancome lash primer, and for letting me know to apply my mascara while the primer is still wet. I appreciate your tip for the performance lipstick. I'll definitely put it on my list of things to try.

[@pennylynn1998]

Now this will be a long comment!!!😊 On the spot brush😉 that would be good for using on your body for highlighter, bronzer, tanning. I have one similar and I was shocked at how much I use it during the yr. I know you already have a lot of brushes but this one is very different. I’m happy you’re going to be doing some auditions. The lipstick category I think you should keep an extra one, now hear me out, we always keep 1-2 in our purses because you never know what shade you really want to wear. I do this all the time so you may see in the a.m. and I have one color on and the next time you see me that same day I have a different color on. I don’t know if this makes any sense but in my mind it does. I also kinda go through my lipsticks faster that way. When you sing that might be a good time to try. I don’t know I wish I could sing but I would be the one to crack/break the windows in my house, get the animals in the neighborhood howling and my neighbors wondering what the H*LL that god awful noise is. Anyway back to this declutter I would definitely keep the black lip oil and use a lip liner to keep it in the lines. I love mine and I didn’t think I would. I get asked what gloss I’m wearing even when I went into Sephora. The twilight looks like fun. I would like to see it and hear your thoughts. I can’t remember what you said about your Christmas gifts but I’m going to tell you my thoughts anyways~because they were on you list and someone(s) watched one of your videos that those are an automatic keep and nothing should be replaced by them. This year you probably won’t be asking for makeup unless you used things up. That’s my thoughts. I’m trying to think what else I wanted to say about all these given products. I was always curious about the Maybelline eyeshadow palette. Like you said you only heard good things but I just never got around to purchasing it with everything else I was getting. By the way my sweet girl got ahold of my highlighter powder and she was glowing to the angels in heaven, there was absolutely no hiding what she did. Let’s just say she tried to hide from me but she got caught all the licking her sister did didn’t work and she ended up with some on here but we knew who did it. Don’t tell her but she looked good. It’ll take weeks to get it all out. I guess she really wants to wear makeup. I don’t know what’s gotten into her but the door stays shut unless I’m in there. That girl has never done anything like this. Maybe she’s mad at me for something. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I think you did an amazing job. I hope you feel better soon. You look beautiful in your video. Sending hugs and prayers. Cuddle up in a warm blanket, put on a movie and rest. 💐

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Thanks for sharing all your thoughts! Considering how many lipsticks I already have, I definitely have enough for all my various bags. So I was glad I only kept one to try. But I am VERY much looking forward to trying the red lipstick and the black lip oil. I'll keep your tip in mind to wear it with a lip liner. I have a feeling I'll be keeping all my Christmas gifts since they are sooooooooooo beautiful. I just have to see if they are better than something I already have - if they are, then I want to make sure to move the "lesser" product along so it will get enough use. Sounds like your pup has a secret beauty obsession. I just hope it doesn't cause her any indigestion. ;-) It was lovely hearing from you! 💛

[@hautemesstom]

Oh honey I hope you feel better soon!

[@hautemesstom]

Also, loved seeing some older makeup being passed along between friends. I loved that ultraviolet blue!

[@hautemesstom]

I just bought diamond dog 🫠

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Thank you! Yes! Older makeup passed between friends is such a fun way to recycle. I actually dipped into that Ultra Violet Blue again before passing it along and wow, was it pretty. Diamond Dog looks gorgeous. I used it once so far and I have a strong feeling it’s going to make the cut. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it!

[@teacherlovesbeauty]

I could name it Spot!😂😂😂😂

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Can you tell I miss my cat? 🥹😂

[@barbieojeda454]

I had a face quad from Benefit that I spotted after finding that the pans were magnetic. Just in case you want to keep the highlighter… The Twilight lipgloss didn’t seem to leave any glitter on my lips when I used mine.

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Thank you for letting me know! I've already passed it on to someone, but I will give them that information in case they only like one or two of the powders. And thanks for sharing your experience with the Twilight lip gloss. I'm looking forward to seeing how it works out once I'm feeling better.

[@beautyandthebeaker]

[@TheStyleStumbler]

[@helenskibinski9742]

That Cheek a Boom palette is something I would immediately buy if Benefit re-released it again.

[@TheStyleStumbler]

I believe it - Benefit's OG cheek products were popular for a reason.

[@flawedfabulous]

Aww spot didn't make the cut😂. I need to eliminate some storage because i simply have too much😊

[@TheStyleStumbler]

It made me a little sad, but Spot is going to a good home. 😂 Is there a specific category that you might start with?

[@flawedfabulous]

@TheStyleStumbler eyeshadow palettes I have over 400 and I use the same ones as I've steered more towards neutral and away from color. I alao discovered multi chromes aren't as impressive as I'm aging. I'm 49 and ND is pretty much all I reach for.

[@TheStyleStumbler]

@@flawedfabulous Wow, that's quite the collection! But I can relate to the changes in taste as we move through life.

[@froggumz]

Is the perfume from the Young Living that is the multi-level marketing company, or is it a different company? It sounds nice but I never support MLMs, so crossing my fingers it’s something different!

[@TheStyleStumbler]

I honestly have no idea. It very well might be. If it is, I definitely won’t try to find it to repurchase it. But I’ll enjoy it while I have it.

[@stephieshappymadness]

I love this concept. I'm really trying to do the same.😊

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Thanks! It's easier said than done. 😂

[@stephieshappymadness]

@TheStyleStumbler I really feel you there...lol

[@zachbecvar]

Sorry for your bronchitis😢 I hope you're feeling better since filming this. Nice to see from your Christmas gifts that people pay attention to your videos and put thought into the process. I like the tradition of de-cluttering you have with your friend. It reminds me of some of the stable gifts I send to my best friend because of long standing in jokes. The black lip balms look... ah, um... interesting is a word. A demo video could be cool. There's a weird nugget in my brain that pictures you emulating Mia Sara's character in Legend when she was tempted by Darkness. I immediately thought of your Pretty Grunge palette when you opened the Smashbox eye shadow. And good job taking a moment with that Toffee Brown palette to logic it out objectively. I felt your makeup monster give a squeal when you opened it. I think it's fair that you audition some stuff in the name of scientific blogging. Although I'm starting to hear echos of Thomas Dolby. Hopefully you won't blind us with all the science. 🤣😂 Calling something a Chubby stick seems like a miss on the naming department. Can't explain why, but it just sounds off-putting. Just based on your initial reaction and how hilarious it is, I'm sad to see Spot go. I hope you feel better, and hopefully you'll actually see my comments. I feel like they're being hidden for some reason.

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Thank you! I'm slowly on the up and up. I really like our tradition of thoughtfully decluttering to each other for the holidays. I've actually started this tradition with a couple of different friends and family members. We all agree that a gift doesn't have to be new to be perfect for someone. And if we're not using what we have and know the other person would really enjoy it, why not pass it along? I got such a useful pair of used winter boots for Christmas this year and they are wonderful. I at least hope that I don't blind myself with science. 😂 Several people expressed interest in the comments, so it looks like I'll be temporarily keeping some of the things just for that. I feel like marketing departments aren't always 100% awake when they suggest their product names. Either that or it's the executive side that's not quite with it. 😂 I was sad to see Spot go, too. I was trying to picture where I would put her, and she'd probably end up living in the darkness of my makeup case. That just didn't seem like an appropriate place to keep a pet. 😂 Have your comments been hidden on other channels, too? Because it's honestly really weird. Sometimes I see them, and sometimes I can't even find them if I search for them. Did you say something negative about AI somewhere? Anger the algorithms?

[@zachbecvar]

@TheStyleStumbler the declutter idea is a nice one for gifting. I've given people some stuff I thought they'd appreciate rather than just toss it or donate it before. I understand with Spot. If she wouldn't be in a place where you could appreciate her fully, there's no reason to keep her. I'm glad that you're feeling better, even if it is bit by bit. I will send happy thoughts to aid in your recovery. And it makes me smile that you understood my somewhat niche pop culture reference. 😂 I'm not sure if I've angered an algorithm. I've seen before where I post a comment and it takes weeks or a month before I get a response. I did comment on the video you posted giving a tour of your vanity area. Not sure if you saw that.

[@TheStyleStumbler]

@@zachbecvar Thanks for sending me happy thoughts! I'm sure they're helping me. It's really strange that your comments are being hidden. This one popped up right away (I think), but I still can't see the one you left on the vanity tour video. Weird. I hope it will show up soon, because I'm always curious to hear your thoughts!

[@zachbecvar]

@TheStyleStumbler I went back and checked. For whatever reason, my original comments on your vanity tour video didn't upload. I think maybe I'll have to start writing them off line and just copy them to the video.

[@TheStyleStumbler]

@zachbecvar Ah. That would at least explain why I never saw it.

[@tostoday]

I can help you sort but I don't think I would be much help. By the way, there's a new coffee on the menu for sad people. It's called... Depresso 😃 Hope this makes you feel better.

[@TheStyleStumbler]

A depresso would definitely make me feel better. 😂
