Decluttering 10 Years Worth of Make Up HOARDING

[@allisonvincentdesigns]

Consumerism is just a huge problem in the beauty and fashion industry. I’m glad you spoke up about repurposing those products instead of just throwing them away. You’re amazing Mia ❤

[@autumnssssss]

especially since thats like 90% of her old videos! not like its her fault, thats what people watched back then. but i’ve noticed shes been buying more stuff like the pallets returned items and donating the ones that are usable

[@zingara76]

It was not like that in the earlier 2000. Just got extremely popular around the 2010’s I think 🤔 KZbin “influencers” where the ones that make us this way. Cause you can ask around older generations. People used to have a little bag with just few things.

[@brandyjo3619]

You could always donate your mascara wands to Wands for Wildlife organization. That's what I do with mine. They use them to help rescued critters get all sorts of things out of their fur when being rehabilitated. ♥

[@sydneypeck2488]

That's so cute! I didn't know that was a thing!

[@xchrysantha]

I also didn't know this was a thing, thank you so much for commenting this!!!!

[@karolinenavarsete6925]

I always do this!! Takes time to save up, but I get so happy when I mail them🥹

[@rionka]

This is so amazing ❤

[@Ariel-lol]

Looked them up and they are from NC, where I live! How cool. I don’t use mascara enough to send my wands though😭

Mia scolding herself in her safe space is such a Canadian mood.

[@lisawang8227]

Very True :)

[@SabrinaBartoo-pw2sb]

lol

[@TheAmazingfulOne]

I go through the exact same emotions and difficulties when decluttering. Mia did a freaking amazing job and got rid of well over 3/4 of her collection. Be proud of yourself! I end up keeping way more because of the anxiety and emotional overwhelm of sorting through each piece, remembering why I loved it, and worrying about the environmental impact of just throwing something out.

[@chocjamie]

urgh yes this exactly! And the possibility that you MIGHT want it in future so it's better to keep it... except you really probably won't and you want the space to be clear...

[@Ivanastico]

I think to myself, if my house burnt down would if miss it or care about it enough to re buy it? if not it's out.

[@sarahbobarah17]

That make up "expiration" expectation is gonna be a HUGE no for me. 😂 Unless they start to smell, look, or seem like they can no longer be worn, I will continue to hoard like a dragon.

[@missbeaussie]

Any product with oil in it will go rancid pretty soon after expiration.

[@sakurakhadag]

So true. I wear concealer like twice a year

[@dawnlochner3105]

SAME!!!!!!

[@braincabbage]

Same. It is a fact that make-up expires, but I choose to completely ignore that fact.

[@tiaramarie3702]

Like what's even the point of limited editions pallets if I'm supposed to chuck it in a year or two?? Uhm no I'm taking that to my GRAVE

[@ProjecTJAD]

I love the idea that this hoard of make-up has moved houses with you several times without being used though.

[@missbeaussie]

Oh that's such a good point. I almost judged when she said "10 years" but then I remembered the state of my bathroom and the fact I'm not a content creator.

[@zander7671]

What she’s not saying that she did this several years ago or another video.

[@ipesina]

trixie said "people do declutters and dont really get rid of anything" and mia maples said "we dare not disappoint the queen"

[@mandy.dreamco]

Great job Mia! Pro declutter tip : come back in 3 days to a week, then at one month. Each time you'll feel more free to release more stuff!

[@Queenofcats36]

This is the best tip!!

[@dees3179]

I put things in a box then come back to it. Sometimes being faced with a whole box of stuff I’ve no need for makes it easier to ditch a big batch. I know there is no treasure in there because I’ve done that part of it already.

[@toriholliday]

i promise you, as a girl that ate up the “beauty guru era”, i have a whole Ikea stand of makeup too girl. no need to apologize for/feel bad for it, you’re doing right by how you’re processing it now 💗🌼😌

[@chelseabhadra9778]

What I love is you were honest that you felt better when you hadn’t cleaned it out. There are so many people that struggle with letting things go and only get psyched thinking they will feel so much better at the end. But that’s not true, sometimes it just hurts but you should still do it anyway. Thank you!

[@mrs.b.6908]

🙋🏻‍♀️ Fellow hoarder here. Good job, Mia. I'm proud of you. I also got uneasy feelings as you were getting rid of stuff...thinking to myself, "but what if she needs it?!" 😅 Clearly I'm an enabler too.

[@cyanidesidesalad]

I don’t think she was actually diagnosed with a hoarding disorder though. I was and it’s not a fun things to be passive about.

[@laurenp.4880]

You know it’s gonna be a good video when mia is wearing the iconic leopard print shirt 👌

[@thelizzleking]

I was thinking the same 😂😂

[@s0vlly]

Or when she’s sitting on the floor😭

[@carol-bs7vv]

best decluter video i have ever seen because you actually kept a healthy amount of products

[@Floras_Fiber_Farrago]

As someone who needs to declutter my office/craft room, I totally understand the "what if I need it" feelings! Definitely using this video as motivation to actually get some cleaning done 💖

[@Vanilla_WHI]

Same. I have SO many things and I'm like "but what if I want to make something with pipe cleaners one day?" "What if I need this random paint color one day?"

[@Michelledawn.]

I truly appreciate that no matter what platform or channel Mia is posting on she is always the same genuine, kind, authentic, thoughtful, beautiful soul. Thanks for just being you giiiiirl ❤ (and for bringing mama maples into our lives too 😄❤)

[@AnnieH23]

I was literally procrastinating decluttering my bathroom cupboards when your video popped up. And now I'm inspired to purge all the crap I've been holding on to for years! Thanks! Now I just need some cute organizers.

[@thesavingsorceress]

I love this video so much! I only recently realized I’ve been grappling with my own hoarder tendencies in all my videos lately as well. 😅 Creating imaginary scenarios where you could end up using that neon liner you’ve never worn is so relatable. Keeping empty containers is something I’m guilty of too. What if they become useful someday? 🤣 Your bravery has inspired me to try to do more decluttering too!

[@missbeaussie]

Here in solidarity.

[@caritomejia]

As a hoarder myself I kinda understand the end of the video, it’s not easy to get rid of things, and no, it doesn’t makes you feel you good once you’ve done. But I’m glad you still did it :) you’re right, you probably won’t miss those items in a few days and you’ll be able to enjoy more deeply the ones you actually wanted to keep

[@irisyourbias]

I NEVER clicked so fast!!!!! Omg, I love these types of videos!!!!

[@XxHunnyBunnyxX]

You did amazing! Very proud to see that you were able to let go of so much stuff on your own, don't be ashamed we are all human after all!

[@teea968]

Honestly Trixie’s decluttering video has become a comfort video for me 😅 so excited to watch yours!

[@stephdoza901]

So happy you did that, even though you don't feel better. I love that you found things that you were looking for.

[@np1584]

I felt this - had to do this when moving in August to our house and not wanting to take heaps of stuff with me. Well, at the age of 31, I had a hoard of make up going back 15 years with manufacturers that have long been gone and I lobbed it all in the bin as got a shock with the expiry dates for make up as I'm always shaking things and reusing even mascara that gives a burning feel because it actually works. It's so much easier just having a small collection than a large hoard when getting ready and sadly, as we age, our skin changes (here's when I'm feeling like an old wifee!). Well done for downsizing your collection and looking to keep it small.

[@kayleighbaker2511]

I'm proud of you Mia. This is exactly how I declutter things I've collected over the last decade (complete with talking myself into getting rid of it). You done great!

[@RemiTheCookingRat]

9:01 I basically LIVE for Mario Badescu facial apart I love the rosewater one it is so calming

[@frozenyogurt3]

I feel you and I believe this is something positive that the Pandemiiiee taught us. You don't need 3 neon eye shadow palettes if you don't wear them even if they look cool. Just get what you would wear.

[@_bebeboudeur_]

the fact that I'm going the opposite direction and finally investing in an eyeshadow palette 👀

[@jazzyfizzlefazz]

I think I like more Mia maples better than regular videos they’re just so calming and chillll

[@TT-_-]

I always say I don't remember anything. My memories are attached to things and places; seeing the thing/place makes me remember so much easier and more details. When I moved out from my mom's, I took pics of a lot of things I threw away; little drawings, broken cherished toys, school essays... I have yet to miss having those things, but I did love coming across the pics in my memory card. I haven't missed having around the things I put into storage either, but the knowledge that I have them there makes me feel safe. My mom sold my childhood home and I cried about it a lot. The things I hoarded into storage when I moved out are what I have left of my heart's home. I have lived in my newest apartment for 4 years and it barely feels like a home. Currently I'm trying to get inspired to declutter my clothes. Ironically newer stuff is easier to let go. I have been practically the same size from 12yo and I have some cherished pieces from then; I might not like how they look on me anymore or they might be repaired too many times to stay whole, but I can't just give them away - they are part of my childhood memories. I will try my picture trick on some of them, see if the knowledge that I will have at least that left will make giving them away easier...

[@katcrafty]

This DID inspire me and I am decluttering and re-potting all of my make-up into a total of TWO palettes. Because you’re right, I wear the same exact thing every day. Why the heck did we buy all these eyeshadow palettes in 2016??

[@amandad2840]

I've been intrigued by Tati's makeup declutter & the reasons behind it, so I'm glad to be watching you do the same!

[@missbeaussie]

Save me from watching the video. What were the reasons behind it?

[@amandad2840]

@@missbeaussie She had developed an eye infection from possibly expired makeup so she went through and decluttered all of her expired makeup. She did I think 2 videos on it in total.

[@LoomofDreams]

You crack me up. I have like two lip liners, two blushes, two palettes (I use neither because eyeshadow always makes my eyelids itch like crazy) … one foundation, one primer, one mascara … 😂 Maybe if I knew how to apply makeup properly I’d wear it more. But I suck at it. Also, I LOVE decluttering! It’s one of my favourite activities. The only things I tend to hoard are books and DVDs. But I just recently went through my DVDs and pulled out 72 to give away. I felt so proud of myself! When it’s something you love, it’s hard to let go.

[@keithdelacruz9031]

I love the honesty, I feel the same way!

[@SofiaHeim]

Great job, Mia, proud of you!

[@louisejohnson6057]

Mia, it wasn't bad that you collected all this makeup, it was literally for your job. I, like my late father, am loathe to get rid of stuff, because it's either sentimental, or because it may be useful in the future. I'm getting someone in to help me with making decisions on what I want to keep because it is somehow connected to a significant person or place that's no longer around, and what I can part with. The idea of throwing out anything connected to my late parents, makes me feel something very unpleasant in the pit of my stomach. I understand having emotional connections to much less significant things too. I found a small little piece of quartz while walking to Safeway. It's just a rock, and I've kept it for 3 years, wtf is that about? You did really well with 'The Purge'! ✌️&💛 from Winnipeg!

[@bethb7965]

My late father always said, 'it's just things', don't get attached. He never had a problem getting rid of stuff.

[@KatieJV89]

I've honestly been living for makeup declutter videos the last 2 weeks. It's like you new I was going to obsess over this!!

[@TCMK591]

With pallets, what helped me, was buying nail polish shelves off amazon, like clear acrylic ones, and hanging them up to put the pallets on display. So not only are the cool ones decorative, but I also won't forget what I have. They are displayed in my beauty room :)

[@thatsuspiciouswhalenut]

honestly I'm very proud of you for sorting through your drawers properly because I'm the same with like shampoo and skin care products because for whatever reason I like to switch out products ever so often (I also keep empty packaging for way too long after the product inside ran empty) since you don't want to get rid of your brushes (fair they get scrungly over time) now would be a very good time to wash them

[@jennydice]

I literally watched the closed Swedish death cleaning and got rid of 4-6 years of clothes that either don’t fit, I don’t like on me or just won’t wear. Now I’m gonna have to go through my pallets too. I feel like every time I see a fellow hoarder do a clean out, that I have to as well and it’s probably the only way I’ll throw boxes and things I never use out

[@blackday6055]

Love the fact that you are putting videos on this channel again and also that you do it more frequently than we are used to get new Mia videos usually. Also I'm happy for you that you got rid off extra makeup that you don't use but my heart is bleeding because all that stuff would be a dream come true for me I could never effort great makeup like this. But it's obvious that you need to get rid of them I just wish I could teleport the ones your friends and family don't want to me.

[@gabriela-yl8bx]

So proud of you mia!

[@gogontlesetlhare]

I'm obsessed with makeup (especially during the makeup influencing era) and it took everything in me to resist buying every product that I was attracted to or my favorite beauty influences raved about. Years later, I'm happy that I don't have a huge makeup collection that I can't make use of and realize that all you need is a number of products in each category to satisfy your makeup needs

Great work Mia! Now go through it again in a week or so and I guarantee you'll be ready to part with more items. It's hard to do the initial purge, but it gets easy after that 😊

[@jt2284]

A fantastic way of decluttering is also to take time to CLEAN your makeup/brushes/items etc. So many times we avoid using something subconsciously because it's dirty. When it's all clean and fresh, it can change our perspective of it and give us a better understanding of if we want to let it go or not. I just got rid of a HUGE hoard of makeup, nail varnish, and skincare. I took time to clean each one and it let me also say goodbye to it. I'm going to offer the stuff I don't use to my family so it also helped to make everything look more presentable.

[@nitsannachtom6660]

Good for you Mia! I have to do the same thing with my childhood room. There was a pair of jeans (beautifully embroidered) that is at least 18 years old! Edit: I forgot to add this - you did great job! The overflowing container is the evidence to that. Also, love this channel! I will watch more videos in the near future

Good for you. I, also, am a hoarder. Seeing you be able to get rid of some things has given me hope that I too will be able to purge some things.

[@Aitherea]

I went through my makeup recently. My big thing was lipsticks. Got rid of a lot of them but I feel you... the packaging is so pretty and even if you never wear it you're like "but if I get rid of this color then I wont have it and what if I want it later." It does such just how much packaging and stuff can get thrown away. I saw in one of Safiya Nygaards videos i think, they were able to bring empty packaging to Nordstrom who recycled it! So if you can clean out the packaging and it is glass/plastic bottles/tubes, nordstrom apparently takes it!

[@mykelticyann]

so feel you with the hoarding, half of my craft materials is garbage that i've decided i need to repurpose 😅😅 but reduce reuse recycle, so it's def a positive thing!

This is my thought process trying to declutter anything, esp make up! I had a massive make up declutter a while ago and I did feel so good afterwards. But months later I know I'm still not using a lot of it (eye liners esp) but am really struggling to get rid of more. However I am very pleased that I haven't bought any new make up since the declutter and only plan to do so if its something I need or I know I will use regularly. Absolutely loved this video so have subscribed - lots of love from the UK ❤
