My Makeup Collection Goals & Current Number of Products || Makeup Breakdown (GRWM style!)

In my last video about my makeup goals, I talked about the specific number of products that was my ideal in EACH CATEGORY - but today, I'm counting up the overall TOTAL goal, the size I would like my collection to be. How does it compare to the actual numbers? My collection is a lot smaller than it was a few years ago but I wanted to see how the numbers had changed. I have been working to curate down my collection and attain a more manageable, more minimal collection for years now, and I decided to sit down and look at the actual breakdown.

*I've been on a serious mission to STOP buying makeup because I realized that there was a number of problems with the way I was buying. Please let me know in the comments if you relate to any of these things and I'd love to hear about your no-buy journey!

It may be just me, but I actually prefer videos without intros where the creator just hops right into it! Many times I just fast forward through intros.

[@laralikesmascara]

Good to know! I feel like I always have a lot to say in the intro but it’s probably not very necessary 😅

[@sandramatras8345]

I completely used up a lipstick this week!!! It's the first time in my life i've ever managed that. 😊

[@laralikesmascara]

Amazing!! This is just the beginning of the panning journey 😁

[@sandramatras8345]

I've never actually panned a make-up product in my life but I do have too much make-up so I am going to try to use up some stuff before adding more to my collection.

[@sydneyrrobertson]

I love the NYX Glitter primer!! It works best when you apply the shimmer/metallic/glitter shadow while it is still tacky. If you let is dry, then it only works like a regular eye primer. I do a regular primer, my matte shadows, then one eye at a time with the shimmer. It prevents fallout and makes many shadows look more shiny.

[@laralikesmascara]

I just don’t find that it makes enough of a difference to be worth it! Like it marginallyyyyyy makes shimmers more shimmery but meh 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Kizzy2021]

@@laralikesmascarado you do your eyes or base first typically? This video might tell me haha but for me it’s mostly useful for the fallout. I don’t do my eyes first though so if you do, it probably wouldn’t matter since you can just wipe fallout away

[@Kizzy2021]

@@laralikesmascaragranted it’s a huge plus for you if it’s not worth it. One less product needed in your collection!! I rarely use it so sometimes it annoys me to own, but I do appreciate it when I use glitter toppers so I keep it

[@morganwentworth2041]

I'm watching this whilw getting ready as well! Doing some gold dragon themed eyeshadow for DnD

[@laralikesmascara]

Ooooh I love that matching eyeshadow to the occasion!

[@christineu5769]

Yes! Mooore GRWMs please! 🥰🙏

[@laralikesmascara]

Yay glad to hear!

[@shawnaripari]

Catching up on your videos now and I was going to ask you about your updated thoughts on the elf halo glow! Also love seeing a grwm from you and hearing more about the new job!!

[@laralikesmascara]

Thanks so much Shawna!! I guess I didn't give much of a review of the halo glow but I do really enjoy it on really light makeup days - if I'm doing full face it doesn't really work for all over because it's *so* glowy. On someone less greasy it wouldn't be a problem, but I've had to figure out how to work with it.

[@skylarmayerssssss]

love all your videos!! when i see you upload, i click immediately!! ❤❤

[@laralikesmascara]

Awe thank you so much 😊☺️

[@veggierunner79]

You are so inspiring Lara! I am almost 5 months I to my no buy after too many years of overspending. I hope to someday get my collection down to a more realistic number like yours.

[@laralikesmascara]

That’s amazing!! Best of luck; I hope you’re able to continue 😊😊

[@chiaravc6228]

I feel you! I'm also doing a PhD and trying to get my article published, whilst attending conferences, having renovations on my home and just overall life.. it's getting a lot. Congratulations on the job! Definitely a smart move to spend attention on the long term as well, even though it may feel like a lot right now

[@laralikesmascara]

ooh best of luck!! I do feel like doing a PhD has allowed me more flexibility in other aspects of my life, because I make my own schedule, but like you it just means that I pack a lot of other stuff in! Renovations must be so hectic omg. Good luck with your degree going forwards!!

[@KatariinasVanity]

Congrats on your new job! Loved this video and reminded me that I need to get back to grwms too!

[@laralikesmascara]

Thank you!! I still really love GRWMs hehe

[@rosa-ww9bp]

I love grwm!!

[@laralikesmascara]

Yay I’m so glad to hear!

[@2kim01]

Please do more GRWM ❤❤

[@laralikesmascara]

I love them but most people don't haha

[@exomake_mehorololo]

Thanks for all your inspiring videos. I'm currently months into a quasi no buy. Didn't fully plan it but it turned out that way. I think I'm very much tired of the new and buying... I still look at new releases here and there but I don't feel any need to try anything new. It's all the same anyway

[@megggiepieee]

Loved this video! What are you getting your PHD in?

[@laralikesmascara]

Thank you!! I’m looking at the impact of documentary film :)

[@dianekoenkamp]

That was the topic of my thesis as well - but documentary film in Austria 🤩

[@laralikesmascara]

@@dianekoenkamp no way!! wow that is so cool :)
