Makeup Declutter // This Was Way Overdue!

[@StoneSaysHello]

This was such a nice declutter, so much less overwhelming than many of the ones I've seen.

[@vickilouise7764]

Thank you :) I agree, watching declutters where people get rid of 10s or 100s of products makes me feel uneasy lol.

Congrats on the declutter, you’re going to enjoy your collection much more now! Regarding the sponges, no need to toss them when they have a tear (and sadly the RT ones tear quickly in my experience), I don’t want to give you the ick but bacteria goes inside the sponge no matter what by the virtue of the fact that you wet it and put makeup on the surface. So having a tear in it makes absolutely no difference, what is important is to clean them regularly, and to always let them airdry (never put them in a box or bag when they are wet).

Thank you, I have been enjoying my collection much more! Oh that's good to know about the sponges, thanks!

I'm so proud of you letting go of those palettes. Not loving eyeshadow palettes feels like an unpopular opinion here in the KZbin beauty space, but I feel the same way. I don't really love eyeshadow and while I wear it I like to keep my looks neutral, simple and light. I need to do a declutter too. I have way too many products in my collection that I force myself to wear just because I have it and I end up with a look I don't enjoy.

[@vickilouise7764]

Yes I agree, eyeshadow palettes are so popular on YT but they're just not for me! I always feel uneasy about decluttering but then am happy with what's remaining and I never regret decluttering an item.

[@reneegrace7965]

Just found your channel! I love that you use your products all the way up! It really makes me think I need to do the same. Basically skip the Sephora sale as I need nothing! So excited to find someone new to follow

[@vickilouise7764]

Aw thank you so much! 😊

[@kirstenolson776]

I'm impressed by how much progress you've made on the Hourglass Leopard palette. I bought the Jellyfish palette last year, had used it loads, and feel like I've barely made a dent in any of the pans.

Also, Kitten Mischief is one of my absolute favorite lipsticks!

[@vickilouise7764]

Thanks! I was surprised by how quickly I got through the highlighter!

Love this! No point in keeping makeup you're never going to use 🩷

Great declutter! It must feel amazing getting all that out of your life :)

Thank you! It does :)

Morgan Turner on YT also said similar things about the merit shadow.

@@chowfurnowmeow I did a search and found a video of hers where she spoke about them. Such a weird product!

I have a couple of the Victoria Beckham eyeliners and they are very difficult to sharpen unless you use a Victoria Beckham sharpener. Neither my Nars or Chanel sharpener do a good job.

[@vickilouise7764]

@@helenskibinski9742 that’s a bit cheeky that they only work with the VB sharpener! Guess that’s why there’s an option to include the complimentary sharpener when you order.

[@Moo-2310]

Ugh that's so sneaky! I hate when brands do things like that. It makes you have to spend more money and it's just another item to clutter up a collection.

[@ambermoreland4315]

The only eyeshadow I use anymore is the HOC Autumn palette. It’s so good, and so simple paired with my essence brown mascara.

[@vickilouise7764]

Which essence mascara is this?

[@ambermoreland4315]

@@vickilouise7764 I’m in the states so I don’t know if that makes a difference but is the newest lash princess one in the brown shade.

[@vickilouise7764]

@@ambermoreland4315 there’s quite a few of them, what colour is the writing on the tube? I’m after a brown mascara for when my Merit one runs out.

[@ambermoreland4315]

@@vickilouise7764 it’s the only brown tube I believe with pink writing.

Strangely, I'm having feels over the eyeshadow palettes going. 😂 They have been round a long time and I'm irrationally attached to seeing you work through them. Good bye hard working palettes. 😢

[@vickilouise7764]

Aw haha I'm sorry! I still have my project pan :)

[@IDGAFBF]

Loved your video. I have Je Ne Sais Quoi and I like it, I wish it would last longer on my lips, I use it a lot as a blusher and its perfect. Kitten Mischieve is on my wish list, then I have Velvet Cinnabar also By Lisa Eldridge and its my perfect Red❤

[@vickilouise7764]

Yes it's lovely as a blusher too! Great for the summer months :) Kitten Mischief is a great everyday shade. I'm tempted by Velvet Cinnabar but wondered if it's too dark?

[@frhhrsl_9744]

how on earth you can finish hourglass highlighter? i just hit pan with the bronzer 😅

[@vickilouise7764]

@@frhhrsl_9744 lol I don’t know! I used it every time I wore makeup (which was most days) but was really surprised how quickly I got through it! How long did it take to hit pan on the bronzer?
