I love inventory numbers. Can’t wait to see the eyeshadow palette collection, I’ve been binging everyone’s collection videos and feeling inspired to dip into color stories or check out palettes that are coming so highly recommended ❤️

[@ccamazingamazingness]

Lmao she'll never show. Unsubscribed.

[@AlejandraLisette]

Have a wonderful day!

[@flawedfabulous]

My nosey heart thoroughly enjoyed seeing inside your beautiful collection. I get many negative comments on my inventory video, I delete and laugh who am I hurting with my collection😂😂 I do want to get my collection numbers down, but only because I'm overwhelmed.

[@AlejandraLisette]

Someone left a comment saying I’ll never show my eyeshadow collection then processed to say “unsubscribed” 😂 I didn’t realize how triggering makeup collections were to people Thank you for being honest (I love seeing people’s drawers too) and being normal about it

[@MakeupwithMariela1]

I did my inventory also and I was happy that my numbers have gone down I watched one of my first inventory videos and was mind blown how much makeup I had compared to now.. as long as we’re happy with our numbers that’s all that matters!! Thanks for sharing yours 😊

[@AlejandraLisette]

You did amazing when you moved getting rid of things you no longer use.

[@AndiDoesStuff1973]

99 items is amazing!!! I love that you know what you like and repurchase with no shame!! I'm a lip liner girl too. If I'm wearing lipstick, there's a lip liner involved.

[@AlejandraLisette]

Yes! I can’t not wear a lip liner!!

[@edwardsjarje]

This is my favorite video of yours at the beginning of each year. It just gives me new determination to work on my own numbers.

[@AlejandraLisette]

You can do it! Thank you!!

[@Elvi0010]

I am so excited to see your eye shadow collection video. Can't wait!

[@AlejandraLisette]

Already filmed my collection. Just gotta edit it

[@exomake_mehorololo]

Love your inventory videos and your attitude towards your collection and panning. It's all very organic and you follow your own speed. I know I have an immense amount of make-up especially eyeshadows and lip products😅I want to use my make up to get the enjoyment out of it and am open to give away make up I don't use BUT I don't want to feel pressured or overwhelmed by my stuff and feel a need or duty to do one of these huge declutters. But looking around there almost seems to be an expectation sometimes that you have to be ashamed off or hate or freaked out by having a lot of make up solving that by just plain throwing /giving away the already existing paid for items. No one has enough "friends and relatives" to give away dozens of anything and guarantee it's being used. Maybe if you're supplying a lay theatre company 😂

[@celestecelestial90]

I agree with you. We aren’t allowed to be makeup collectors anymore, only makeup users and to be as minimalist as possible. 🙄The beauty community can be very judgemental, even though back in 2016 the trend was to have a huge makeup collection. Now everyone is supposed to be minimalist. I also have a huge makeup collection especially eyeshadows. I only throw away what is expired based on the smell and texture going off. I throw away only an extremely small portion because I use my stuff up, give it away before it gets old or it lasts for several years because I use clean brushes and clean fingers to do my makeup. If you’re looking to donate lightly used makeup you can send it to Project Beauty Share which distributes and sanitizes makeup to pass along to women’s shelters in Washington. I send them boxes of makeup about 2 to 3 times per year which are my declutters.

[@AlejandraLisette]

I just got judged and a comment was left saying I won’t ever show my eyeshadow collection then she proceeded to say “unsubscribed” you damn if you do damn if you don’t 🙈

[@dubsbeautydiary]

Love hearing the numbers! So glad you’re going in the direction you wanna go!

[@AlejandraLisette]

Thanks so much!!

[@Bethsbeautydiary]

Omg you’re so funny! Yes, keep the blushes if they are better formula! ❤ awesome video! TFS ❤

[@AlejandraLisette]

Thank you so much!!

[@sc1592]

I love hearing how much you love your current collection! Also congrats on reaching your long term goals. Your channel is so inspiring to me!

[@AlejandraLisette]

Thank you so much!!

[@ruthfoley]

Thanks so much for sharing your numbers, you’re doing so well 🎉

[@AlejandraLisette]

You are so welcome! Thank you!! 💙

[@beksan1]

I totally hear you when it comes to the lipsticks. I’ve tried using some of my older ones like the wonder beauty one and it was so old that the bullet just broke off and fell off. Same thing with liquid lipsticks, sometimes I go to use them and they’re completely dried out so I think as you try to use the older ones they’ll just automatically weed themselves out.

[@AlejandraLisette]

Yes! It is what it is. And you are the lipstick panning queen!!! You just made me feel better

[@angeladesilva7913]

WooHoo 🎉going down 39 blushes is so good! I’m a blush fanatic like Jordana and it’s hard for me to get rid of them! You have a lot of Mac blushes like I do. ❤ Haha lol I don’t blame you for going up so much on liquid/cream blushes but you get a lot of gifts unlike myself. I have no self control I have one of those large 5-drawer where all the drawers are the same size and bottom drawer is larger just stuffed with cream/liquid blush and highlighter lol!😮❤😊 I’ve always loved your blush collection.

[@AlejandraLisette]

Thank you!! Blush was something I never liked and then loved

[@JaniceSimpler]

Fun to see makeup inventory…I’m packing up makeup getting ready for a move…think I’ll do an inventory at the new house…

[@AlejandraLisette]

Great idea!! I remember packing my makeup for a move. The trick is to layer the bottom of your boxes/containers with towels

[@LisaDia14]

I’m a bit late but loved seeing the inventory! Being 99 items down is amazing! My biggest category is still lip products. I don’t actively buy but sometimes a lipgloss gets me! It’s very rare though. Can’t wait to see your eyeshadow collection! It’s been a long time for you to feel comfortable showing it. Prep yourself for the haters, lol! It’s your collection and if you love eyeshadow and it makes you happy, buy it! I’m fighting retail therapy mode. There really isn’t anything that could make me happy. My dog passed away on Friday morning and I’m devastated.

[@AlejandraLisette]

I already got haters and haven’t even started 🙈 I’m so sorry about your dog. My husband told me he had a dream with Leo last night and it was a nice dream. Your baby is playing ball with mine now 💕

[@LisaDia14]

Yes they are❤️ I haven’t dreamed about my dog yet but I hope I will soon. We all miss her so much!

[@CarolynNichole89]

I love inventory videos, thanks for doing this! I cannot wait for your eyeshadow palette collection video!! 😃

[@AlejandraLisette]

Already filmed just gotta edit it

[@celestecelestial90]

Congratulations on the categories you went down in. I’m holding on to my makeup until it expires or I lose interest in it. It lasts longer if we are sanitary with our application. I’m looking forward to seeing your eyeshadow palette collection. I know you have a lot like me. Hopefully no makeup minimalist Karens or Karinas show up. 😂 👀

[@AlejandraLisette]

I love that you make me feel normal 😂😂 I feel like sometimes I have to explain why I would rather keep a blush that’s 6 years old then to throw it out to get the same one I filmed my eyeshadow collection already. Just gotta edit it.

[@celestecelestial90]

@@AlejandraLisette You make me feel normal too! I have a big collection too and feel more normal about having one that size because you have a lot of makeup too. 😆 I look forward to seeing your collection. 😁

[@KBellaBeauty1]

Loved seeing your collection!

[@AlejandraLisette]

Thank you! More to come

[@AliciaFannin]

I think you did amazing if you went down by 99! Since you know a lot of your lipsticks are going to go down bad soon I hope you allow yourself to choose your absolute favorites to pan. 💗. And a video request… would you do a video of your five or seven or whatever favorite foundations? That’s something I’m always looking for good reccs on.

[@AlejandraLisette]

Yes I have been reaching for the ones I love a lot. The beauty of lip products is there is always a dupe color for almost all the lipsticks I love to reach for. I know I can find something similar I’ll add that list to my shorts! Ill get it up soon

[@JessicaLee.3]

Just a few more foundations in your collection. 😉 Oof, the cream blushes. But they are all so beautiful. Liquid lipsticks category is awesome! I bet that feels incredible to have so few now. You are making great progress and you have a good grasp of what works for you and what doesn't.

[@AlejandraLisette]

Yes I love them but I didn’t need them. I just got my last Christmas gift and 3 more came in that package so my inventory went up again 🙈

[@angeladesilva7913]

I have powder products like blush/highlighter and bronzers which are 7-8 yrs old a few are 10 and they all work fine still and don’t smell bad. It’s such a waste of money and product to declutter according to expiration date on these categories because they don’t go bad that quickly at all.❤😊

[@AlejandraLisette]

Yes!! It breaks my heart

[@lucyandstuff]

I love the numbers!!! You’re doing great

[@AlejandraLisette]

Thank you!!

[@slr_beauty_and_makeup]

You did amazing!❤

[@AlejandraLisette]

Thank you!

[@tammyherrera7262]

I told Iona (I believe you pronounce it as E-won-a) from Chic Geek that I love listening to these makeup videos with stats and numbers while I work. I feel like I’m on an important zoom call 😂

[@AlejandraLisette]

😂😂😂 I LOVE that!!!

[@heyitsgabs21]

i wear a bronzer that my mum bought in like 1992, its still fine.

[@AlejandraLisette]

I have eyeshadows that old that work so good. I wish makeup was like this again

[@kathleenmoortel5449]

Thank you for sharing these numbers. I don’t judge you at all for keeping your older makeup. I do the same thing. It’s kind of telling that makeup doesn’t last the way it used to. I’m trying to buy less this year as well. Quick question: what shade of the ABH cream bronzer do you have?

[@AlejandraLisette]

I have the shade amber.

[@StephLyons]

Would love to hear your thoughts on cream blush formulas ❤. I have the Mac ones, but I have not tried the others.

[@AlejandraLisette]

I can do a few shorts on each brand!

[@exomake_mehorololo]

A question: I'm trying to do a replacement only no buy... Apart from very specific staples that would mean only if a category runs out... But I'm in a bit of a dilemma on 3 items. I have 2 super light blushes cool and warm that I use all the time as base for more pigmented blushes, to blend, as eye base etc very helpful for me being very fair. I don't have any other blushes like them so I want to buy replacements but overall I'm trying to reduce my blush collection so I'm not sure if it is right. Then I also got a clear sticky gloss I'm using as basis for creme /satin lipsticks : it actually makes them last longer, lightens colours too intense for me and I don't actually like how lipsticks sit on the lips😬It's perfect for me and I would not wear certain lipsticks without it.. I tried and hated it. So when I empty these items very soon I'm not out of the category and buying new will increase the numbers but I plainly won't use a lot of other items without these helpers. so I guess for me they are staples really but I feel weirdly conflicted about the whole thing 😐

[@AlejandraLisette]

If I was in your position I would actually consider the items that aren’t working for me on their own. If I need to use something to help me with another item then that other item shouldn’t be in my collection. I would declutter and buy the item that fits me without needing help from another product. Hope that makes sense. PS I’ve done this before even if it hurt it worked out in the end 100% better for me

[@sarahwebb2875]

You cracking me, your a panning lip liner queen

[@AlejandraLisette]

😂😂😂

[@IllyDragonfly]

I made an inventory of how much I bought online last year Alex... the number is damn concerning. 0.o I always liked buying online but last year I totally went bonkers with the excuse of vintage clothing is more expensive than dropshipped stuff. Keep in mind that I work full time, I do not own a car, I do not buy much expensive technology (I do not own a smartphone, I own the same laptop since 2016, the same desktop computer since decades, the same camera since 2011) I don't plan to have kids ever or travelling in the next years and that I do not have to pay rent. Please don't judge me too harshly eh... okay. 5800 euros. In one year. For frivolous stuff. OOOOKAY deep breaths *wheezes* That's 483 euros per month, that's like rend money. Uh uh. No bueno. My plan for this year is to cut the spending in half, so this year it would be 2900 euros in a year (still bonkers) so it would be 241 euros per month. If I manage to reach this goal and on average to keep the spending onine at this level I will try to lower the total in 2025 as well. I know myself, if I get too strict all of a sudden I know it will backfire (this is how I ended up last year, I overbought on pay day and I ruined the average the last few days of the month). Wish me luck T.T

[@AlejandraLisette]

You enjoy yourself. If I had no kids no big bills I would be enjoying more as well. So long as you are enjoying your products that’s all that matters 💙
