DECLUTTERING MY FULL BRUSH COLLECTION

[@likeballet]

I miss your energy and light so much already, Mel. Watching you every day to keep your channel active. Rest easy, beautiful. I hope you're frolicking with Diesel and doing everyone's makeup in Heaven. ❤❤❤

[@LeeLee-vy1bq]

hey everyone lets all commit to watch at least 1 video and comment daily to keep her channel active so her positivity and knowledge continues to be shared

[@LM-fy5zi]

I was going through my brushes today and thought I would scroll through Mel's brush video to help me decide what I should declutter of my collection. Not only was she a treasure to all of us but she has left us all with such a wealth of knowledge and expertise. We should all keep watching all her videos not only to keep the channel going but it provides us with so much important information just like this video did for me today.

[@cmreader]

I would be interested in seeing a video on top 3 brushes in each category. That way I can really narrow down where my money should be going!

[@TheJalebe73]

She did a “pick one brush in each category” awhile back! That might help too.

[@cmreader]

@@TheJalebe73 awesome thank you! Sometimes it’s hard to find a particular topic when there is a bunch of content and I never know if it’s been done or not.

[@TheJalebe73]

@@cmreader you’re welcome! I think she called it “If I could only keep 1” or something like that.

[@sharnahorn8642]

Sigma makes amazing brushes but wait for a sale

[@katjones4840]

Wayne goss and refer have some great brushes. Personally I like smaller brushes then she uses and I like mine round. - best tip I have is see what you like in your collection - what density and shape so you can get the same style in natural hair :) I love me some fluffy brushes 🎨

[@whitneyhedrick]

Omg that Blazer? Or top? Wherever it is...I LIVE!!!!

[@melthompson2856]

Thank you! It’s a button up 😍 LOVE YOUR FACE!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@33donnally]

You have the brush collection of my dreams! You are a big reason why I have begun my brush collection! I never knew what a huge difference the right brush makes until I started watching you!

[@elishahernandez5075]

2020 was the year I found fude. I spent a small fortune on fude brushes. I buy back ups too!! Sonia G, Wayne and chikuhodo are everything 💞

[@aewaew3849]

Yes! I was just about to invest into brushes, now i will know in which i should invest my money 😍😍

[@onecuet]

I love my Wayne Goss & Rephr brushes. The Esum & Tom Ford ones are nice but I'd say stick with Rephr & Goss. They're far better imo. I never got into Scott Barnes or Smith brushes. Sonia G is on my to try list this year.

[@chrissymoss514]

Woah - you're *ruthless*!!!!! I'd love to have a "rummage" through the throw away mountain, what a glorious time that would be 😊 Because of this vid, I've learnt so much more about the function of different brushes and what brushes I need to invest in. Massive *THANK YOU* from me to you, 🙏🙏💗💗💗🌟

[@April_B.W]

I would love to see how you clean your brushes. Yours always look like they’re brand new!

[@onecuet]

I used to use the beauty blender soap. My brushes still had residue. Then a friend turned me on to using ZOTE soap. It's found in the detergent isle for $2 @walmart or home depot. I cut a bar into 3 smaller pieces for manageability. My brushes look brand new & stay super soft.

[@pamelabalamela]

OneCueT - Kristi. ah! Will look next time I go in. Hoping we have it in Canada. Thanks for sharing such a great tip

[@April_B.W]

@@onecuet I’ve used the Zote soap before and it does a great job. One problem I have though, is my brushes don’t go back to their original shape even after molding them while they’re wet. I just didn’t know if she had a great trick to getting hers so clean and looking brand new.

[@amyhebron9553]

Dove Unscented soap works great

[@Karen-bh2ju]

Mel did a video on this very topic about a year ago. You can search for it.

[@icekitty15]

Hey Mel, I hope the weather where you are is not bad & I hope everyone in your family is staying safe and warm. I wanted to say that most of my life I used cheap brushes & I had a few Mac brushes mostly eye brushes but in the last I say about 4 years I got into buying better brushes. I have a have face brushes now but I have more eye brushes then one person needs. But it was you and 3 other KZbinrs that got me into BK Beauty, Bdellium Tools, Rephr, Sonia G, Smith, Wayne Goss, Scott Barnes and others. I have really been enjoying them. There are a few that are very pricey that I may try if I can get them. But my favorite high end brushes is Sonia G & Rephr. I also have midrange price brushes that are good as well. But I really don’t need to buy anymore brushes. But I just can’t help myself. I really enjoyed watching you do a declutter of your makeup brushes. I was watching saying wait I’ll take that one. Knowing I don’t need anymore brushes. But Thanks I had fun watching & I think you did very well. Till your next video. Stay warm & safe please. 😘🙏

[@ra.j7210]

Wow mel ! 50 mins of mel I'm so getting a snack it will b my cheat day ! Love you. My brush collection consists of lancome , rephr , mac , smash box , makeup forever and real technique brushes and I love them all.

[@katerinaalepou5476]

Finally the natural hair brushes is the best!

[@dawnstowers8026]

You will be missed. ❤️. Always enjoyed your reviews and you were the best.

[@AZ_Julie480]

I am a brush hoarder 😂 I just ordered some new sigma ones, a tarte set and a mini coffee ☕️ one from Sephora lol U look stunning !!

[@nonilady1577]

Girl you have sooo many brushes. Really interesting which ones your keeping. You gave me the inspiration to declutter mine. It’s the synthetic ones I tend to keep when I don’t need to. Definitely keeping my natural hair brushes.Because of you and Alyssa I’ve gotten quit a collection of the natural hair and I just love those so much! Great clean out girl. You are letting go so many! Good job! 💕💕💕

[@sarahdavis85]

Mel cracks me up when she brings out her brush she got for Christmas!!!

[@MissLexi920]

I love my natural hair MAC brushes. I can’t ever declutter them. You are brave for this declutter!

[@lindapassos]

I was waiting for this 😍 Thanks Mel, more "taking notes" 😂😂😂 need to buy some brushes 🙈🤣🤣🤣

[@Goldie9899]

Thank you so much for making this video!! I just asked about this the other day and am so happy!!

[@valerievalois6263]

Good morning Miss Mel, OMG, you are on fire with the vids lady!! Thank you so so so much I am obsessed with brushes this is going to be so much fun. 😃😃😃😃😃

[@EricaConger]

I could just smooch your face off for doing this video!!! I’m such a brush fanatic and love to know what others enjoy. This is going to be AWESOME!! Thank you from the bottom of my makeup brush lovin heart!😂❤️😂 Love you, my beautiful Mel!💋💋💋

[@rashea7302]

I love brushes so much. My favorites are the smith cosmetics brushes and my second favorite are Wayne goss natural hair brushes.

[@SS_S.]

I always base my purchasing decisions on declutter videos. If a product survives the cut multiple times its a pretty safe purchase

[@keodi1]

I love declutter videos! I'm comfortable and ready to watch!

[@Lisa_meredith1010]

OMG the 167SH!! My HG bronzer brush! I swear I had a tear 🤣🤣

[@kimberlychelewski7893]

I would like a face and eye set from Sonia G or Wayne Goss. I have small hooded eyes. Definitely want natural hair, I don’t know what sets to pick! I need your expert advice lol. Love ya much 🦋

[@jackieturner4144]

hey beautiful I love these videos even though the break my heart she still makes me smile xx

[@swood2603]

I love your spiky side bangs!

[@nadiazanchetta1388]

Beautiful makeup look Mel💖🥰

[@Freespirit_Sofia]

Hi Mel!!! The decluttering videos are soooo useful for me!!! Im watching it again and keeping notes of your favourites and how to use them😉😉😉!!! Thank you 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓 oh! I just want to share with you that i bought the Zendo pallette so i will watch again your review to learn how to wear it!!! Im so excited!!!!💗💗💗💗💗

[@xgal08]

Such a fun decluttering! So cool to see your collection! loving that eye look!!

[@shimaass32]

This video is a good guide for brushes ❤ love it sooo much I have tendonitis so i tend to use bigger brushes to have good control in products applications My favourite type of brushes are powder brushes ❤ using it all over face is just the best feeling .

[@sofsera]

Gee I miss watching your videos Mel, a true Angel ❤

[@sambricker2234]

Could you do a wedding makeup look video with some tips and tricks in makeup it last and look good for the big day?

[@vixenlarue7984]

Love the eye look Mel! It’s stunning!

[@VeronicaRussek]

I'm still angry at MAC for going synthetic on brushes... So many good ones, and a few that I never got to buy that I now want and I can't get... I have been getting into Hakuhodo lately, have a few Wayne Goss ones, but I just love Hakuhodo and the huge selection they have!

[@2cmrinhfx]

Hey Mel, Have you ever considered donating your decluttered items, eyeshadow palettes and brushes to a women's shelter ? They literally have nothing but what is on their backs and can you imagine the joy they would have from even one palette and a couple of brushes. They have to re start their lives with little or nothing & often look for work. It was be amazing if you would consider it. Thanks

[@iamjulia9458]

Exciting! 💕🤩 Been waiting to watch this full collection video

[@shendisackett]

I love to see brush declutters. I have 2 original MAC eye brushes that I've had forever and I baby them because the synthetic versions are not the same. This year I want to invest in better brushes as I have so much make-up it makes sense to spend on tools now.

[@sandrag3854]

Great job Mel! Congrats on getting rid of so many.

[@annacarlyle6732]

This has just motivated me to get rid of some of my brushes. Loved it 💚

[@crazedazed]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I love brush videos so much!!!!

[@annatsoibeauty]

Wow, this is going to be very interesting. I can't watch right now but I would listen then will rewatch.

[@elizabethbelz9616]

LOVE the hair!

[@toniagarcia2885]

I'm barely staring to invest in brushes...I got all the BK beauty..and I got the repher face n eye set that was released around the holidays...still have not used those ..lol..can u do an in-depth video explaining the difference in synthetic and natural hair brushes and what is best to use with what products..??My next buy for brushes I think might be Zoeva or Wayne Goss...I just want to know more about brushes..thanks sweety for a great video...I still got a little bit left to see on your makeup collection video ..I'm on the part of your collector palettes 😄😄😄😄

[@cristianematos6815]

Great video sweetie! I am learning so much about brushes with you! xoxo

[@dawnbrady684]

If that was my collection, i'd put sets together and see where the journey goes from there. I mean the frayed and not so nice ones would definitely be gone of course. Oh and i am here for that jacket !!!😍😍

[@kerriwright4593]

I can't wait to get some wayne goss brushes and more rephr and sonia g. I appreciate your video, it helps me figure out which brushes i do and don't want lol.

[@elisaacri8774]

Yay! U said it, u did it! Half expected another 2 and 1/2 h video but I'll content myself with the 1 🤣🤣 Looking beau-ti-ful girl xoxo

[@aundrealauzon]

You did a great job!!! Lots of brushes!!❤❤

[@jenniferk1941]

Good Morning Mel:)) Spring cleaning at it's finest-Love your jacket/blouse too:)))) Jenxoxo!

That top is everything.

[@EstherNathalie190]

Hi Mel,i like this video,what a lot of nice brushes.Thank you.🤩

[@MrsPinkyChiChi]

I would mount some of those in a shadow box. Esp the og natural and limited edition Macs. Mercari should sponser you. Videos like this remind me of limited edition items I always wanted but can’t find in store anymore.

[@janpayne1219]

Love your hair!

[@brittanimoore4531]

To Whomever gets these brushes.... CONGRATS TO YOU!!! 👏👏 Idk why I'm so obsessed with brushes, but I am. 😍🤷‍♀️💞

[@sarasales4406]

Wow, so proud of you. You have grown so much. From decluttering make up to say bye to, Jesus, how many brushes ? You go girl! I’ve said it before I will say it again- you are a ________ rockstar!!! (Edited to pass the bots!!!! Love your videos!!

[@mutantfroggy]

Popping in to rewatch and keep interacting. ❤️

[@lanaesworld6976]

Omg I need a video of if you had 1000 of makeup at Nordstrom what would it be haha. I can't decide the top things I def need

[@shopr247]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video! You’re the brush expert. This make up look is stellar! If you haven’t filmed it, PLEASE DO! (I haven’t watched yesterday’s video yet). 💚

[@LucindaR]

Girrrrlll my M.A.C limited edition brushes gotta get buried with me 🤣 I also agree that the Marc Jacobs The Bronze is over hyped.

[@sjp2k2p]

I just moved to Tennessee not to far from nashville. I believe you live in Tennessee as well. Maybe some day I will run into you and chat makeup! Thank you for all your great videos

[@426adina]

Declutters are so satisfying I can imagine you have great brushes. I gave brushes all over the place because I get them in beauty boxes, order them and get them as gifts. I live brushes and can admit I’m a brush hoarder lol I can’t believe I typed that 😂😂 tfs

[@lindarutt4410]

Can you tell me what top you are wearing? It’s stunning 🤩

[@BeautyHasBeenX]

I’m obsessed with brushes 😩😂💞💞

[@VenusNovember]

Brush videos are asmr for me lol. Loved the video ❤️

[@robingoblin]

I loved this! Good to see your quick reviews, and so weirdly satisfying in general! Are you considering uploading your makeup declutter too? I think I remember you saying you had a camera issue? 💚💚💚

[@MilyxxMily]

Surprised you don't have any Sigma brushes besides the fan brush. Sigma brushes are actually great quality they come with a 2 year warranty, are silver/gold/rose gold plated for maximum durability, have screws in their ferrules so the breakdown is literally impossible, all that aside from the bristles process. If you decide to give their brushes a try do asap There's a sale going on right now.

[@mollyjane01]

MEL-I must ask, where did you get the drawer shown at 11:00 that has 3 sections? Would it fit in a drawer in an Alex 9 drawer unit???? Please let me know!!! I’ve been on the hunt!!! Thank you❣️❣️❣️

[@audreyso1201]

I love brushes, I have macs and bobbi brown, I love it, very beautiful makeup mel, a tutorial please

[@wamwilliam2020]

Hey Mel if it's not too late why not make an art display from the MAC collection brushes. Might make a neat background display or wall-mounted piece.

[@L4Lxo]

Omgosh I'll take em off your hands 😊 and love love love your top

[@katrinalynn6]

the only way i use a flat foundation brush if it its a cream compact foundation to apply it and then use a beauty blender to buff it in

[@bobabobaboba1303]

I been waiting for this! Woohoo

[@caitlinsollee8326]

Mel! I just Becca cosmetics is going out of business later this year! Better stick up on that under eye primer! I’m so bummed!!

I just found out 😣 that’s the first thing I did... ordered a bunch of those 😓

Hi Mel! I know you didn’t recommend the TF desert fox palette but man it looks stunning on you! Side note...I am planning to relocate to Eastern TN from CA and I am scared to death of the humidity affecting my make up! Any thoughts of must do’s? Love you, love your work!💖🙏🏻

[@riar.s.2615]

what do you think about MAC 287 brush? I think it's the smaller version of 187

[@cinemaocd1752]

Not surprised the Kylie brushes are being decluttered. I feel like there was a lot of hype and marketing and not a lot of thought behind that line...

[@SwedePotato314]

I could NOT believe how expensive those brushes were! Mindblowing.
