one year of makeup empties: all the beauty products i used up in 2023 🎉

[@njpans]

You can always show empties monthly and track so you don’t have to hoard empties all year lol…you can parse together an empties marathon then go over the sexy numbers after 😊😊😊

[@lisakeepcool]

So funny to see, how different the the numbers are for everyone. For me, I use one cleanser a year, because if foams like crazy, but I easily go through 12 dry shampoos :D

[@shawnaripari]

I hear you! I've enjoyed hearing everyone's numbers. I used to use 3-4 dry shampoos a few years ago, but I don't go out as much anymore and I switched to powder so I use less. When I hear 12 in my mind my moth dropped!

[@laralikesmascara]

You've still got so many empties, it's so impressive!! I hope you will continue to track :)

[@shawnaripari]

I still like watching empties so I probably will. It's just my usual year-end will I/won't I 😂

I enjoy seeing the empties, but it's your channel and entirely up to you if you want to continue it.

Love this! Very fun! You now know a very consistent beauty budget line item amount ($) Very consistent! Love the 3 year data !!! I just started saving my empties of some various things such as supplements 💊 and skin care… So it’s fun to see that you did this. I may expand what I’m doing, to more beauty as well but I started doing it because all those little boxes of instructions… you don’t know if you want to keep them or not but I wanted to get them out of my way so I started a basket and I also thought 💭 let me keep the empties in case I forget, and I want to replace that brand or whatever , so this is really good 🎉 -love your channel!😊

For make up and skincare I used up 289 items all together that includes minis and samples. I ran through a lot of face masks & got rid of samples but I also emptied 42 lip balms /glosses /oils etc (+ 2 lip masks), 36 of which were full size and unopened at the start of last year. Used up 1 skin tint and 5 cushion foundations. 2 face powders. I'm quite happy with how many things I used up and I'm starting the year w 2 almost empty blushes, 2 face powders w giant pans, 1 almost empty bronzer and 2 highlighters w big pans🎉 I'm still trying to see how long I need to empty face masks in tubs, baked gelee products, lip sticks, body scrubs and standard foundations. I have put those in panning projects. I also have 2 eyeshadow palettes in the project but I just want to use them regularly... I don't enjoy panning eyeshadow but rather have usage goals

[@shawnaripari]

I definitely hear you on panning eyeshadow. Congrats on all the empties!

[@fivestar3910]

42 lip products? Whoa. I think I did 5. If I only used the Physician's Formula balm, I would probably be at 42, too. It goes kinda fast.😅

[@exomake_mehorololo]

@@fivestar3910 I have never tried that one. I used up majority glosses, but also coloured balms, lip oils, liquid balms etc all kinds of brands

[@laralikesmascara]

42 lip products!! wowowowowow!!!

[@pixiethistle]

This is so interesting! I hope you will keep doing these videos. Out of curiosity, I documented and counted every non-food, non-medication item that I purchased in 2023. After watching this video, I went back to count the subcategory of cosmetic items that I used/recycled, including dental, hair, body, skin, and makeup products, which was around 70, and much higher than I anticipated. This knowledge will impact my consumption habits for the better in 2024, and I may take photos of the empty containers to document before recycling them because I have limited storage space.

[@karenhaire5451]

I really enjoy your channel. Is this the items that you've used up or discarded because they don't work for you?

[@SimplyKatieWalks]

I have a cute dresser top organizer. It's not very big so I don't keep anything that doesn't fit. I have 2 mascaras, 3 lip glosses, tinted moisturizer, and 1 concealer. I do my own nails, so my nail stuff takes up a bigger space than makeup. Great video! Could you do a vacation packing video? I have 3 trips this year and I have always over packed!

[@shawnaripari]

thanks for sharing! I'm an over-packer as well so I'm definitely not the gal for such a video 😂

[@thejulietocean]

Looooove an empties ❤

[@thejulietocean]

I tracked mine last year and so far this year bc I’m actually trying to pan some specific things this year. Also my brain loves a panning list so I literally have my body lotion on there just so I’ll actually take the time to moisturize my scaly and dry winter body 😂😂 empties are so satisfying to me! So I vote yes you should keep doing them 👍🏼

[@shawnaripari]

I think I will, I've already put my first empty in my empties drawer ;)

[@maru45382]

Awesome! 👏🏽

[@bryannaweigel9581]

Really enjoyed this video because it puts into perspective how much we consume over a year. I would vote that you keep doing the videos but it’s your choice :)

[@shawnaripari]

I also agree with you. Without an empties video I'm not sure I'd be fully in-tune with how much I consume in a year.

[@emilyc6961]

Ok I’m only at ten mins.. so if you do answer this - sorry in advance! Have you kept track of the # of declutters year after year?

[@MK-ki8ks]

Can you share what eyeshadows are you using? ☺️

[@shawnaripari]

It's an oldie, Modern Renaissance !
