[@kalaniblake8699]

Seriously, this is such a good way of thinking about a makeup "collection", especially considering that yours is very minimal compared to most people on youtube! There have to be people who own a 1000 years worth of eye shadow!

[@Mina-kt4kw]

So I'm starting do it too ! Primer : 1 --> 1 year Foundation : 1 --> 1 year Concealer : 1 --> 1 year Powder : 3 --> 3 years Sprays : 0 I don't use that Blush : 2 --> 2 years Bronzer/contouring : 3 --> ~2 years Highlighters: 5 --> ~7 years Eyeshadow primer: 0 I use my concealer as eyeshadow primer Brow stuff : 2 --> 2 years Eyeshadows...: 😬😬 132 --> 50 years... Pencil for under eyes : 2 --> 2 years Eyeliners : 12 --> 13 years Mascaras : 2 --> 3 years Lip products : 18 --> 16 years Wish me luck !!

[@SS_S.]

I've noticed that you and I both have the highest numbers in products that have different colours: eyeshadows, lipstick, blush and bronzer. The other categories might have different formulas but there's not much else between them: mascara, setting sprays, powder etc. I view my colour products differently. They're like the spices in my pantry rather than the staple flour or sugar. I'll never use up a complete jar of paprika or cinnamon before it expires, but I'd miss having it very much of it wasn't there.

[@exomake_mehorololo]

I agree. Anyone that likes or suits different colours will automatically have more coloured products than someone who only wears the same 2 shades of neutral. It's just common sense and people shouldn't be judged to comply with some artificial standards. I have quite a few more blush colours I rotate through than people who don't care about blush or wear only 1 style of make up. So what? Same w lips and eye shadows. Companies could release smaller product sizes if the waste is a concern as it isn't me the consumer deciding how much they put in the pans. I'd love buying mini sizes of things.

[@palettesandpans]

I love this parallel! I never would have thought of such an analogy, but it's so true! I've stopped guilting myself about having lots of colour cosmetics - especially powders since they last longer. It's my hobby and I love it and some things in life are simply meant to be enjoyed

[@agingophelia9812]

Same. I have so much more in the way of blush and eyeshadow than Sarah but for me, it's all about having the one i want when I want it. Then again, I only have one single sample sized setting spray and I don't really buy primers , bronzers or sprays. Have not been buying blush, highlighter or lipstick for a couple years now, but when I whittle it down a little, I might treat myself to a Lisa Eldridge lippy.

[@kirahavird9087]

I'm glad you made this video Sarah. It really puts things in perspective. For reference, I have 632 eyeshadows, 179 lip products, 90 blush/bronzer/highlighters. It's more than enough which is why I've been doing the no buy thing for a couple of years now. And let me tell you. It is the best feeling to not worry about buying makeup anymore. And oh so satisfying when I fully finish the products that I do have.

[@kateh.7197]

Since I don't have numbers of my own, I used yours to find out that my great-grandchildren could still use my eyeshadow 😅 very eye-opening. I am thinking about using shadows I don't like for painting, but have yet to figure out how to do that. But that way they would at least have a purpose. Your makeup looks stunning btw ❤

[@alejandraislas5890]

It would be nice if makeup companies sell smaller size products. I like tarde because of that, sadly not for all shades.

[@LouiseHultcrantz]

Yes! I've been looking for more minis

[@andreiadetavora8471]

This!!

[@pajamamama5965]

Video! For those of us who consider Cosmetics as a hobby oh, it's important to be comfortable with potential wastefulness. Every time we buy a product there's a risk that we won't be able to use it whether it's not the right color or the formula doesn't work for skin. Eyeshadows are particularly that way because we may like specific Shadows in a pallete but not all of them.

[@melissasmith8151]

I love this video! I figured it takes 6 months to use a tube of lipgloss based on 3x/day of use. Multiply that by how many I have..oh my! Don't be embarrassed..you use your products and prove items can be finished. Thank you for this :)

[@mariahmoo]

Eyeshadows with pan should count for half!😊 It's tough to estimate because if you use your stuff, then nothing is full/new, and so the time to use up, say a half-full lip gloss is going to be less than using up a full one. Then you have like a tenth used up, or a quarter, and so on. So, really, these are upper limits if your usage stays around the same amount for all those future years... Really interesting to think about.

[@tinksspixiedust]

Beautiful look on you today! I used to have a very minimal amount of makeup, then went through a collecting phase, lost it all in a fire, started minimal again, then went crazy again. I like to find homes for my mistake (unopened or unused) purchases and those I tried once and didn’t want to use again. It seems like such a waste if no one gets to use them. Those that are unopened and unexpired can be donated to some women’s shelters. But I have no idea what to do with the rest.

[@freckledklutz]

I try really hard to use up all my oldest things first and do the one in one out so that I don't have too much of any one thing! My biggest categories are eyeliners, blush lipsticks and eyeshadow. Because of knowing that I am trying really hard not to reckless with purchasing things. What if you did category specific no buys for some items?

[@Mamado88]

This is why I'm going back to the old days of depotting all my eyeshadows into colour order magnetic palettes! I have so many ND, CT, ABH palettes and I rarely use so many of them because hunting around for seperate colours is annoying so it goes to waste.

[@amberhays8907]

I recently did this, and I have about 96 years' worth of blush! Really puts it into perspective...

[@StoneSaysHello]

I did some quick math, and it would take me 40 years just to hit pan on every eyeshadow in my collection.

[@lainelee3632]

😱🤣. That's crazy isn't it? I have this one one eyeshadow I've been wanting to pan, I've been wearing it few times each week every week yet after a year it still hasn't hit pan. I'm thinking..... How compact is this product??

[@gigi2k326]

Very interesting video concept. It's always good to check ourselves once in a while. Your thoughtful consumerism & ways are the content i gravitate to these days. I think you do a fine job balancing this with also being a beauty loving channel.

[@lindedesigns]

I wish eyeshadows came in much smaller pans. I would love to finish more of them, but it takes forever to empty one. I'm going to focus on hitting pan instead of emptying.

[@kristinegustavsen4209]

Blush and especially eyeshadow I dont expect to use up, they are more for fun, than a "necessity" (I view concealer foundation and mascara as a "necessity" its not product I get creative with ) so I dont feel bad for having more than I now I will ever use up 😊

[@zoelynch6308]

The only category that's a bit out of hand is eyeshadow palettes which I try to keep to 20 but even that is too many 😅 shopping my stash and avoiding review videos has saved me a fortune

[@palettesandpans]

Avoiding review videos and "Will I Buy It" videos has been a gamechanger for me!

[@nomegirl907]

🌼This is awesome. I am trying a low buy year, I was doing great until March and then I caught-up from not buying anything in January and February, feel a little deflated but I will reset and persevere. I’ve been doing a successful project pan, which I really enjoy. I enjoy watching your project pan and your shop my stash. I started my first shop my stash for spring, it’s fun. Thank you for not promoting over spending, as someone who struggles with it, your videos are helpful. 🌸

[@palettesandpans]

Don't worry, you're not alone! The important thing is to not let a setback stop you from refocusing on your goals and trying again.

[@christineb6841]

Fun video! Very eye-opening and revealing! You're right, of course, make up is a fun hobby and I enjoy having a variety in my collection, but when you throw some statistics in there - it really can de-influence yet another purchase! (Which isn't an all together a bad thing for this hobby either!)

[@chowfurnowmeow]

This is such a good way of tracking how much makeup in excess we all have. Looks like I will be about 350 years old by the time I used up all my eyeshadows and lip sticks 😂

[@itz_8030]

For the past year, I've been thinking about how much time it would take me to use what I have. I remember when we used to have one or two eyeshadow palettes, lipsticks, one blush and maybe a foundation and eyeliner. Good times. Now I feel we all have too much of everything. I'm in a low buy now, just buying things like mascara when it's finished and I feel better. 🙏🏼

[@sienshine268]

This really puts things into perspective 😅 I don't know if I dare to do this myself haha Yay I would love to see a try on lipstick declutter. I always try lipsticks on before I decide if I want to keep them or not 😄

[@gnine3299]

I have 3 eyeliners (I use 2 daily), 2 mascaras, 1 lipstick, and 6 eyeshadows

[@Vanessa-pq8bn]

I think this would actually be a very interesting and effective way to make me stop buying more makeup, terrified to see how many years of eyeshadow i have. Love your content!

[@UnpurrfectRobyn]

I do not have near the lipstick or lipgloss collection you do, but I still want to try them all. I know my preferences have changed so I want to see if there are any that I just don't love anymore.

[@jaysheet1356]

I’m the same with blushes…love variety and at 13 now. Powder blushes last me 3-5 years! Trying to stay on top of Cream blushes.and not go beyond a year. Will attempt a 1 in 1 out policy moving forward :)

[@clrtomsett123456]

I haven't been tracking my empties for long enough to do this, but I'm confident I've got at least 15 years worth of blush ☠️ if I finish 1 in a year it's a good year ahahaha

[@exomake_mehorololo]

It is kinda unavoidable as long as companies put so much products in their pans and you own few different colours. Minis would make quite a difference if they were available. Maybe half the amounts or more. other option is for us to tell people to not have different colours of colour make up. Which probably won't work... But what else is there than the above than to just sigh about it.

[@sallyhike7434]

I wear makeup on average 5-10 times a month, and I own 14 blushes. Tarte was having a sale yesterday and I almost bought 3 different blushes bc they were on sale 💀 Im glad I waited all day before purchasing bc the excitement wore off and I didn’t want to buy them anymore… but this video was a great reminder of how long makeup lasts

[@shellykozun3813]

I love this way of looking at a makeup collection! I’m going to do this!! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@laur83]

i love this video idea! no need to feel bad about having a decent amount of makeup. you’re a beauty content creator so it’s absolutely understandable. and it’s nice to have some variety in a collection to avoid getting bored but not to be so overwhelmed that you never get around to using some products.

[@annamaleficent]

Have you ever considered doing a no buy for a full year and only buy something when you have finished every product in a category like powder or mascara.

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

I was actually considering it for next year! But idk if I can commit 😂

[@cindymbeauty]

I've been doing that for about 3 years now and as a beauty lover it is VERY HARD but seeing my collection go down to a more ideal minimal size has been worth the wait. It's crazy how long it takes to use up makeup and that keeps me motivated. Tired of throwing away expired makeup and money!

[@BelleStreetBoyz]

💜💚💙

[@ecem4204]

@@cindymbeauty so are you doing a "no buy" where you buy something when you have finished every product in that category? how much have you used up in 3 years??

[@cindymbeauty]

@@ecem4204 Yes I only allow myself to buy something once I have finished every product in that category. So I've only bought mascara, eyeliner, foundation, concealer and powder. Like Sarah I have about 20 years worth of blush, eyeshadow and lip products lol As far as how much I've used up I never really kept track but it was ALOT.

[@Reiliferei]

I'm curious do you track how many pans you hit each year? That maybe could be a new metric

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

I have started tracking my pan percentage this year! I like the idea of tracking the number of pans too!

[@sarahfinch7944]

Loving everything about this look… the hair, the eyes, the lip, the shirt 😍

[@EvaNTytania]

I immediately went to check how many eyeshadow pans I have. According to your method, I have 36 years of eyeshadow 😵😵‍💫 I must keep this number in mind when being tempted to buy...

[@lnp0760]

Great video! I looked at my curated collection last year even though very small made me take a step back this year and only focus on makeup I already own instead of buying I think i will only have to buy eye-shadow primer/eyeliner and maybe 1 other product this year im using what I have

[@the_ash_tree]

I'm terrified to see how many years worth of eyeshadow I have, but I'm a masochist with too much curiosity, so I know what I'm doing tonight. Very interesting video!

[@Mina-kt4kw]

So how much? 🤣

[@the_ash_tree]

@@Mina-kt4kw So, I've never used up or even hit pan on any eyeshadow. Keeping that in mind, I figured out roughly how many times a month I do my eyeshadow which is approximately 20 times on average in any given month. I own 60 palettes which gives me a total of 607 eyeshadows, as well as 217 single shadows, 1 liquid shadow, and 2 creams for a grand total of 827 eyeshadow products. If I were to do my makeup 20 times a month, using 6 eyeshadows every time, I would be able to use 1,440 eyeshadows per year, so I could use every individual eyeshadow almost twice in a year (approximately 1.7 times). Around this point, I couldn't emotionally handle trying to finish the math so I'm just going to say that I have enough eyeshadow for the next 500 years 😂🤣

[@Mina-kt4kw]

@@the_ash_tree I wish you a lot motivation 🤣🤣🤣 I ""only"" have 50 years of eyeshadows

[@the_ash_tree]

@@Mina-kt4kw That's not bad at all! It is incredible how thinking about how much time it takes to use up makeup really puts how much we have into perspective.

[@pappyone6062]

Cheek products are my Achilles heel as well. I probably have a century worth of blush if I actually went through one a year and they didn’t expire, which neither is the case. I have stopped buying those products (I didn’t buy any during the Sephora sale - I did buy a lot of other things though🤦🏻‍♀️). Definitely eye opening when you put it in terms of years. I excuse it because I don’t use other things like foundation and eyebrow products other than a clear gel. So of course I have to make it up by buying too much in other categories.

[@alishacuddy2473]

For eyeshadow I came across an excel spreadsheet where you put in the total of oz, how many eyeshadows you use in a look, and how many days you wear it, and I have 22 yrs worth of makeup 😅. I am considering decluttering so I feel less guilty. I hope my eyeshadow lasts at least 10 yrs .

[@andreiadetavora8471]

This was inspiring. I made my own inventory and i got worried also just because i don't wear makeup everyday like you and i have a lot, A LOT of things in my makeup box (for my non makeup routine). I have: -9 eyeshadow palettes (3 of them are 9 shades pans and the others: 10, 12, 12 each) :( , -4 blushes (not so bad, one of them is small), -2 highlighters (one pinkish and one champagne, also not bad), -one foundation (very good!!), one concealor ( :) ), -one mascara (yay!), -2 powders (not good: I have dry skin, I almost never wear them!!), -3 eyeshadow sticks (not bad), -7 eyeshadow singles (well... at least one of them i can used it as an highlighter), -2 lipsticks (one red, one nude: not bad), - one lip oil (i really like it) -3 (2,5 :) ) lip pencils (also not bad, i used them often with some lipbalm, even if i'm not wearing makeup), -2 eyepencils (one black and one brown) and that's it. Oh, for my eyebrows i use eyeshadow. And i don't use primer (I use almond oil instead), I don't wear bronzer nor contour (I have pale olive skin and everything turns orange on me). Oh, and i don't wear those sprays things for setting makeup. This was an humillity exercise for me, for sure. I only wear makeup 2 to 3 times a weak... That said, I think I have much more eyeshadows because i never did quite knew what looked good on me. I'm cool, pale (very ,VERY pale) olive: some pink eyeshadows look like I have pink eye, most warm browns look like orange and yellow on me. Purple... it depends: I only can wear warm purple. Blue, I only like it frosty. Peach is fine! Was always difficult for me to find a good palette for me. i also don't like glitter. However, I have found a good eyeshadow pallete for my skin tone. Its from Kiko Milano (soft nude 03). Its a good one for me! This was great to watch. And one more thing: you have an youtube chanel and you wear makeup everyday. So I think that your collection is much more justified than mine is... Thank you for sharing your process with us. It was valuable!!

[@Veriska]

I love your creativity with videos ! ❤

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

Thank you so much!!

[@imaginarycosmetics]

I think this is so interesting! For eyeshadow in particular, I calculated it in two different ways. I know that if I use an eyeshadow consistently it'll take me 4 times as long to finish it as it took for me to hit pan on it for the first time. If I use this as a metric and the eyeshadow I took the longest to hit pan on (69 months) it'll take me 17 more years to finish it. I still have fairly old eyeshadow I haven't hit pan on yet tho'. Based on my eyeshadow use-up stats I finish 0.8 eyeshadows per year and with 91 shadows that translates to 109 years worth of eyeshadow. I've finished 0.88 lip products per year, therefore it would take 20.5 years to finish my 18 lip products (I'm pretty close to finishing some tho') I purchased my first and only bronzer and blush (since I started doing makeup inventories) in 2020 and I think I'll finish both this year. I'll stick to one in both categories. If I want a different cheek color I use my eyeshadows or lipsticks. The only coverage product I own is a concealer and it lasted me more than 3 years, but I think I might finish it this year.

[@debramckean1970]

This was very eye opening and also fun. This is the video that will remind me to continue being a mindful consumer. New subscriber:)

[@agingophelia9812]

I'm awash in opened mini mascaras, most of which I don't love, but at least I know what works and what doesn't.

[@marielle7505]

There's no shame in having a bit of a larger collection, if you can afford it. For me, a have some categories that are fine: I have three concealers and I only use one bronzer untill it's gone and then I open a new one. Blush is alright, I own about five of them. Highlighters I only have two, which I'm completely happy with. Lipstick...mêh...twenty might be a bit much. Doing great on foundation, which is a though category for me. I only have five at the moment. Eyeshadow palettes is another though one; I own more eyeshadow for one lifetime with about fifteen palettes. Although I do feel satisfied with what I own now, so that's great. The point is that eyeshadow palettes almost never run out, so the collection doesn't really get smaller naturally. My current problem area is perfumes. I own about eighteen of them at the moment, but I still regularly catch myself feeling the urge to get more. So maybe there's some work to do there.

So interesting! I’m embarrassed too 😂 especially in eyeshadow and some other of my categories.

[@ElinevanderLaan]

It took me about 3,5 years to finish up my brow pomade. Never buying pencils or markers again. 😂

[@lainelee3632]

Something to think about, if you have 459 eyeshadows, you use 2.8 a year, you keep all of these to use for the next 10 years after which you have to discard it because it's is too old.... You'd have to throw out 431 eyeshadow in a decade. That's a lot to throw out. Not trying to shame but this does enlighten us about how wasteful makeup can be, if we own too much we can't use up in time.

[@marielle7505]

You're right. Nevertheless, I don't think eyeshadow palettes are things you actually use up. If I pan about half of my favorite shades in an eyeshadow palette, I consider the palette finished and I will toss it. I would not want to keep a palette when my favorite shades are gone and I'm stuck with the few colors I like a bit less or that don't form a cohesive colorstory without the finished shades. I don't think I am alone on that, so I don't think that it's reasonable to completely finish a palette. There will be some wasted, that is inevitable

[@lainelee3632]

@@marielle7505 yes I find it hard to pan let alone finish an entire eyeshadow. I've never finished any. I'll toss out products I've kept for a very long time, there's no choice but to do so. But moving forward I definitely want to make better choice and keep the tossing out to the most minimum I can do.... Without losing the enjoyment of variety too much.

[@flawedfabulous]

I try not to think about this😂😂. Fun video..

[@SarahRoseBeauty]

[@BPhlyy]

Only categories I have under control are blush and foundation because I stopped buying them. Every other category is at least 3+ years. And I definitely look at bringing stuff in as a unit of time now. It’s not one palette of 12 eyeshadows. It’s 30 months of constantly occupied space in my vanity

I did something similar a few weeks ago and discovered I have about 40 years of eyeshadows 😅😅😅😅

[@alexandra109]

What I really appreciate is that bottom line your makeup collection isn’t out of control. Every once in a while I see recommended to me an influencer that has an absurd amount of makeup and they do a declutter. Sometimes I start to watch other times I just can tell by the thumbnail that it’s a crazy amount of product. I try really hard not to judge others. But just thinking about the amount of waste that is going into the landfill hurts my heart. I am not an influencer so I don’t know what it is like, but I really appreciate you and others I watch keeping your collections more realistic and manageable. ❤

[@oxfordstyle5807]

@@SarahRoseBeauty Maybe use one halfway through without finishing it and then go use another one and put it to good use too. Then no longer buy more until you have only 4 or less. I do that of using everything I have even if I don't finish it. I have many blushes about to finish.

I have about 40 years of lipsticks too, but I think I go through more then you do so it could be a little less then that. I finish at least 1 a year. I buy makeup not thinking about using it up. I don't want to waste makeup, but I do have fun with it and there are quite a few items that I know that I will never finish, They are fun when I want to wear them. For example I have a purple lipstick that I rarely wear but when I do I enjoy it. Will I finish it haha no but its fun for now.

My gosh, I’m not even a KZbinr and I prob own more makeup. Not just that, I only use makeup once a week. Gosh. I prob need 200 years to finish each category of makeup. I’m scared now

My foundation, concealer, mascara, and brows are all less than a year. Blush, bronzer, highlight, lip products & eyeshadows are really out of control. 🤣 I probably have too many primers, powders and eyeliners too, but maybe a few years worth.
