Makeup Declutter | Konmari Method Before & After

[@claudis.4015]

I like that you show how hard it is for you and how it it makes you feel. Self-reflection is key. Also you inspire me to follow your example. :)

[@AimeeRebecca]

Thank you! It's definitely not easy, but it's worth it!

[@tantinefanfreluche]

I‘m with you 100%, I have a very similar amount of stuff/anxiety from separation...just love all my make-up!! 😭

[@AimeeRebecca]

I know how you feel, but it felt so good to clear out the stuff I don't use and get some space.

[@berenicemartinez9238]

Wow consumerism at its finest.... We have all been there... Awareness is key

[@beautyunboxed530]

wow, I am impressed with the amount of stuff you have. The money you would save by doing a "no buy" challenge and just use it up...

[@AimeeRebecca]

That's what I've been doing since making this video. It's been great for my wallet haha!

[@marymonica]

I love the way you say "here," also great video & tidying inspiration!

[@AimeeRebecca]

Haha thank you!

[@melissasparber8443]

Mary Monica I was going to say the same thing! 😊

[@margaretcooper797]

I love your voice and your positive attitude in spite of having such a massive collection of make up.You have energised me to do my own declutter with the Konmari method.

[@AimeeRebecca]

Thank you and good luck with your decluttering journey!

[@greatful1512]

Aimee, thank you for being so honest about your decluttering journey

[@AimeeRebecca]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@Okayletsg0]

I just did a mini purge as I’m not well and have a few set backs in terms of anxiety issues ect ect and it’s easier for me to break things up into little sections too, it’s ok that you kept most of it, you will probably get rid of more and even if you don’t that’s ok too. Hope your feeling well

[@AimeeRebecca]

Well done for carrying on even though you've had setbacks. It's a daunting process. Just keep going and doing as much as you can. You're doing really well :)

[@jeanettejackson444]

If you have products that have not been opened you can donate them to a women's shelter. Awesome declutter! My lipsticks are seriously out of control. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@AimeeRebecca]

I love that idea! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@wendyraye]

Good for you. I’m inspired now. Thanks for showing your process. I’m overwhelmed by beauty products too - hardest category for me. It’s hard because there’s something I like about each item - that’s why they never get tossed. I feel anxiety, too but I’m slowly getting better at letting go - have to remind myself that “stuff” is causing me stress, keeping nice things from people who would love it, and is making me feel guilty for wasting so much money. I need to take the plunge.

[@AimeeRebecca]

Thank you! Yes, you should definitely give it a go. I was the same as you at first. There was a time when I didn't want to part with anything and every time I got rid of something it would cause me anxiety. Now I get a huge buzz from getting rid of stuff I don't use because I've realised I can enjoy my space so much more when it's not overcrowded. Don't give up. It's worth it in the end! :D

[@babstheblessed1666]

"This drawer won't even close what is my life" me in daily life situations. XD

[@AimeeRebecca]

Haha! You and me both!

[@Salineddi]

I get it. Totally. Buying makeup feels good. I am trying for the "less is more" perspective while doing my upcoming cleanup.

[@AimeeRebecca]

It's a much better perspective. My attitude towards buying things is so different now.

[@kelseeylesliee]

I just cleaned out my makeup last week! it's so satisfying to do a good clean out of products :) love your personality!!

[@AimeeRebecca]

Thank you! Yes, it's such a great feeling when it's done! Well done for getting through it because it's a major task! :)

[@allieowens2559]

it's so satisfying

[@auktionspunkt6333]

Thanks for the video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you considered - Mahorrla Control Clutter Method (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a good one of a kind product for decluttering your home minus the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate after many years got astronomical results with it.

[@heartsmyfaceforever8140]

A sheet of glass cut to the size of your dresser really helps to keep it easy to clean;)

[@AimeeRebecca]

Thank you! I love that tip!

[@TenderValley]

I just uploaded my closet clean out and my next goal is my makeup. I am so not looking forward to it but I am looking forward to being able to find all of the makeup i want when i want it. Love the videos!

[@AimeeRebecca]

Good luck! The makeup is definitely easier than the wardrobe so you got this!

[@dvsdawl]

I freaking love your accent!!

[@AimeeRebecca]

Thank you! :D

[@sobasic27]

Me, too! Are you Irish?

[@Jooney91]

Please take this as an advice: 1. You really should clean your brushes (or buy new ones if it is not possible to clean them properly) 2. To avoid skin and eye problems like acne or inflammation you also should not keep: powder-based makeup, pencils and nail polishes opened for more than 3 years/older than 5 years; mascaras opened for more than 9 months/older than 2 years; foundations, creams, balms and oils opened for more than 1 year/older than 2 years; all other cosmetics opened for more than 2 years/older than 3 years. I believe you will not even throw away far more, but also will think twice before you buy something new...

[@Pysslis]

Kitty Seven there is no exoneration date for nail polish. As long as you store them properly they are good for many years.

[@mrzhyde9139]

Pysslis i believe they were refering to anything that goes on the face given the examples/dates they used

[@Pysslis]

Mrz Hyde She wrote verbatim, nail polishes opened for more than 3 years/ older than 5 years.

[@Jooney91]

Pysslis It is not becase of hygiene, but because of chemical reactions. Nail polishes consist of pigments and chemicals that are keeping pigments together and chemicals that allow nail polish to dry and so on. However after few years they split and nail polish is not even usable anymore. Opening the bottle will - obviously - speed up this process. Or why do you think they put expiration dates on the bottles?

[@Pysslis]

Kitty Seven I own approximately 500 nail polishes, several of them 10-15 years old and they still work great. I've seen maybe three polishes get runny and change colors, it rarely happens. "Your nail polish should last forever, as long as you store it properly,” -Essie "The Period-After-Opening number is required for most cosmetics by the European Union (EU), but it is rather meaningless for nail lacquer." -OPI

[@Lesieva]

I sold a lot of the products that im not going to use. I had a lot of extra stuff from being subscribed to a beauty subscription for like a year. I just decided what i was in no way going to use or just tried once and whatever, grouped them with 10 products per box and they sold for 10 euro easily. Most buyers were like college kids that dont have the money for it and they were realllly happy to get nice stuff for cheap :) (friends and family didnt want or need anything as some did the same subscriptions).. i also cancelled the subscription. I still have quite a bit of extras, but they are backups of things i know i like and use up all the time. I feel a lot better about my pile though after watching ppls declutters. I have way less than most. I think you did great by the way :)

[@AimeeRebecca]

That's such a good idea! I'm glad your decluttering is going well. I've often thought of joining a subscription service, but I'd probably end up like you and have a bunch of stuff I wouldn't use. Your idea of sticking to things you now you like is a much better idea!

[@shawnacoon]

"Sometimes you're a slob" AMEN SISTER

[@beautyonayebudget8882]

I love soap and glory as well!! They have there own drawer!!!

[@AimeeRebecca]

SUCH a good brand!

[@portlandbellejay9606]

I am late to the party, but I am dreading doing my make-up. I have a ton and I love it lol

[@toricollins3735]

This is the first video of yours that I watched but I subscribed within the first minute because I love you so much already. You are beautiful and seem so kind and I don't want to sound weird but I love your voice too. ♥️

[@AimeeRebecca]

Tori Collins Aww thank you so much and welcome to the family! 😍

[@ambi6891]

The way you say Here is so unique!

[@AimeeRebecca]

Haha it's my Welsh accent coming through.

[@LibbyRoseEmbroidery]

LOL, the first thing you identified to throw out is one of my absolute faves!!

[@AimeeRebecca]

Haha! This is why my friends and I always rummage through one another's junk piles. One person's trash is definitely another person's treasure 😂

[@TwoHeartsOneRoof]

I found my beauty and make up really easy actually, but then I'm not that attached to my make-up! You did great though

[@AimeeRebecca]

Thank you! It was tough, but it felt so good to claim some more space in my room!

[@izni5737]

I love your personality!

[@AimeeRebecca]

Thank you! :)

[@asisqueezylovediary6474]

hahahah love this video hahah the begining is incredible .i end up being a minimizer now as well lol . for me is important to hae some choices . i have few of each things most of my things are not even high end accept foundation and lipstick rest is just primark and just aliexpress . i made my DECLUTTER video just yesterday and today i manage to fit all in one small place omg . i have bit more than u have but u have more quality products than me . i have lets say 8 lipsticks 3 foundations 1 powder 1 concealer 2 small palletes 2 highlites 1 contour pen 3 blushes 3 maskaras and few liners . i have few sets of brushes bc got present from before . thats it few of each is pretty minimalistic . if i go travel i take 1 foundation 1 powder 1 concealer few brushes 1 pallete and 2 lipsticks so lets say i take half lol . fits in small beuty bag anyway :) so minimalistic life especially with make up is very important . first every product has experation date , second getting too much make choice harder of what to use . waste more money on products we dont like is also something important to consider .

[@AimeeRebecca]

I'm glad to hear your decluttering is going so well! It definitely makes a difference when you have less stuff. It sounds like you've really narrowed it down to the basics. Well done!

[@asisqueezylovediary6474]

Aimee Rebecca real minimalist have 1 each i wont never had onr i might have one half 2 each and that is pure minimalism. Now i have middle of 4 each so when i find great products i can have half. Now i need psn project to get rid of the stuff slowly

[@asajohnson7385]

Higher quality make up, is made in smaller portions for the same reason. My brother was a model in Europe for many years and his make up artist recommended one specific line of make up.

[@heyitsgeorgia]

wow thats a lot of makeup! fab video 😌

[@AimeeRebecca]

Thank you!

[@idab2605]

You did a great job. You are a great inspiration to watch :)

[@AimeeRebecca]

Thank you so much! :)

[@jaynevassar6526]

All the time I was watching this I was saying to myself oo I use that oo I've got one of those oo I've got that too lol, think I need to declutter too great video as always aimee xx

[@AimeeRebecca]

If you're anything like me, you don't even realise how much you've got haha. Thank you! xx

[@elizabethr4107]

So I'm here in 2021 recognizing a lot of yr makeup and skincare used during yr no buy and pan projects in present day. I'm a research chemist and wanted to point out that things have expiration dates for a reason. Just a gentle reminder to look for the little period after opening (PAO) jar and remember throw these out. They can break u out at best and cause other more severe health problems including but not limited to yr endocrine and immune systems. 💗 stay healthy 🥰

[@CoffeeQueen90]

Love your pink lipstick that you're wearing. What shade is it?

[@AimeeRebecca]

If memory serves it was the Revlon Balm Stain in Honey. Odds are it was because it's my absolute favourite! :D

[@CoffeeQueen90]

Aimee Rebecca thank you!

[@itoshiibaka8267]

Have you tried using a drawer liner or a glass top for your dressing table? Might help protect against the mess. I believe Marie Kondo also recommends keeping a cloth or rag around your sink to make cleaning it up much easier --- you could easily do the same for your vanity. :)

[@AimeeRebecca]

The drawers don't get too bad, but the top is always a mess. I don't know what I was thinking when I got white! Keeping a rag handy is great idea. Thanks! :)

[@rhiannonnicks715]

Hi there Aimee.. I'm a new subbie...I luv your Scarlet o Hara s famous quote on your wall.. I'm a huge gone with the wind fan. Plus..your Boston red Sox t-shirt..where are u from?.. thanks for sharing,Hun..

[@AimeeRebecca]

Welcome to the family! I'm from South Wales :D

[@mrzhyde9139]

I could never declutter by asking myself "does this make me happy?" Because i buy things based on whether or not i like it and if i dont like it then i get rid of it soon after.

[@AimeeRebecca]

That sounds like an effective way to stop clutter building up.

[@ankiking]

Asking the question and listening to the answer before even buying saves even more - money and environment.

[@janebaker4912]

How did the move go? I've moved over seas and it's amazing how you can live with so little

[@AimeeRebecca]

You're so right! I only brought two cases and when I got here I realised I only needed one.

[@janebaker4912]

Aimee Rebecca it's an eye opener, isn't it. Now that you see you don't need much do you think you could buy less? Imagine how much you'd save on Make up alone!

[@AHSx85]

Thats happened when we Are busy its ok :) just need relax Time And divide and Arrange Time To Make Every Thing In the Right Place :)

[@AHSx85]

By The Way did u buy Emergency Kit And Urgent tools ! Like Some Bluster and Bandage panadol . Burning Cream Like “Mebo” and Urgent Tools like Small home Kit for Assembling And disassemble and Have a Small fire Distinguisher .. etc

[@AimeeRebecca]

Well said! :)

[@lucybrailsford]

I feel really guilty for saying this but I have more stuff than that, and have no idea where to begin!!

[@AimeeRebecca]

I know that feeling! This was my second round of decluttering my makeup and I can honestly say it gets easier every time. Just do the best you can and then revisit it in a couple of months. Each time you do it you can get rid of more and more.

[@sve_tiko]

@@AimeeRebecca thank you so much, for being so down to earth and real, I am doing like round 3 or 4 already 😀and STILL I have too much stuff, so I actually sold many of the unused thigns online, which made me feel a bit better. Now I'm just gonna buy some containers and get things more organized. Thanks for inspiration ❤

[@rawankuwait3325]

I love your videos 😍 keep it up

[@AimeeRebecca]

Thank you so much!

[@CoolInOlympia]

Good job getting rid of stuff!

[@AimeeRebecca]

Thanks :)

[@equestrianlife7884]

I know I’m really late and this was really old but where did u get ur makeup desk?

[@AimeeRebecca]

It's from IKEA.

[@katiethomas5889]

I only have 1 makeup bag of makeup but thats because Ive always been a simple girl with that stuff and hair stuff too. Even if I didn't work or have a baby I would probably not wear a lot on the the face. But I think its a fun video and very smart!

[@AimeeRebecca]

I've been trying to narrow my makeup down and now I only have one makeup bag of makeup I reach for every day and everything else is just for special occasions. It definitely makes my mornings a lot easier!

[@katiethomas5889]

I bet!

[@inesgurtler5749]

Honestly im kind of trying to learn english dialect- I can tell this is not American and no standard British either- but approximately which country/ which rough area is this dialect from? It sounds really different to me! (Haha or are you not a native speaker altogether?) And I really like this video!

[@lucylu2441]

ine lie this sounds very much like Welsh accent to me!

[@scarlettpowell6604]

I love that she Welsh

[@AimeeRebecca]

I love that I'm Welsh too! 😂

[@TheOtherLifeOfMaryK]

I was trying to pin point it. I was thinking Welsh at first. I blame Torchwood.

[@deb5496]

Unbelievable amount of products!

[@AimeeRebecca]

I know! I look back at this video and even I'm shocked!

[@kelliemcanespy1822]

How you get the thing behind the draw is you take out the draw and take the thing out from behind the draw and put the draw back into the dresser

[@AimeeRebecca]

The thing with the drawers I have is they don't pop out. You have to dismantle the unit to pull them all the way out, which is pretty annoying.

[@asajohnson7385]

In theory, you have to look at all contributing factors. Depending on cleaning, how sanitary you are and disinfect your products. Preservatives and chemicals are in a lot of make up...

[@Lesieva]

Did you fix the drawer yet? You could just unscrew one of them. There are only 2 screws on the side.

[@AimeeRebecca]

Yeah, I got my Dad to do it 😂

[@dagasman620051979]

Where did you get your desk with all the drawers?

[@Moelili]

looks like ikea

[@Lesieva]

Amanda Martin its ikea alex drawers and probably linmann in top. Linmann (or however its written) is very cheap but not thaaaaat great quality. I have it to and its doing fine but i think in a few years will need to be replaced for sure. Just for awareness... its not actually a desk. Nothing connects the plate on top of the alex drawers. Its simply put on top of it. And they advised me against using something like mirror tape to glue it down cause it will ruin both pieces if ripped apart. Just saying ;) but it does a great job.

[@AimeeRebecca]

I got them in Ikea. You can get different sized tops to go over, but the quality of the tops isn't great. I've had mine for about two years and it really needs replacing now!

[@wirinaholstein4076]

You're not going to konmari your teddy bears rare you? They can all stay in your bed right? They should be above any declutters just for being teddy bears .-D

[@elizabethannferrario7113]

Amy blessyou but why are your makeup products so dirty , and your baskets, or it might be-me being rather a clean freak , but sorry it just disturbs me , i know your moving to another country , its better to start clean then when you get your new home no problems , sorry but have a good trip and stay safe love liz xxx

[@AimeeRebecca]

It's probably because I'm so clumsy and spill everything haha! Rest assured, every time I do a declutter, everything gets wiped over with antibac so it's not dirty - just stained with foundation fingerprints and the like. Anything past its use-by date goes out, but I wouldn't waste perfectly good products just because they're not aesthetically pleasing. I've moved 6 (I think?) times since doing this declutter and I have so much less stuff now! By the time of my next move, I'll hopefully have hardly any beauty products to take with me :) xxx

[@cjcallos3700]

Hi are you selling all the de-cluttered make up? :)

[@AimeeRebecca]

I'm not sorry. I gave it away to the people mentioned in the video :)

[@americancitizen748]

I am thankful that men do not have to wear makeup.

[@AimeeRebecca]

It saves you guys so much time and money 😂

[@AimeeRebecca]

That's so true. I also know some men who do a significantly better job of their makeup than I do!

can i have some your stuff makeup please

[@flowers.9936]

Sorry I couldn't watch the video, your voice irritated me slightly.

[@asajohnson7385]

Cosmetics should be thrown out every 3-6months unless you disinfect regularly. With this amount I highly doubt you have the time. That said, you shouldn't buy too much at a time.

[@AimeeRebecca]

A lot of the stuff I had was unused and I threw out most of the eye products because those have a shorter shelf life than lipsticks for instance, which can be kept opened for a few years :)

[@francescagalleri1858]

Literally nothing needs to be thrown out after 3-6 months except mascara lol

[@tabithak5943]

Francesca Galleri well there's also milk 😂 I agree most makeup lasts a good while

[@asajohnson7385]

That's pretty disgusting if you keep it for a prolonged amount of time. Bacteria, dead skin cells, etc...do I need to say more??!!

[@tabithak5943]

Ross Johnson so cosmetic items come with a shelf life sticker. Some of those say 24 months.
