WHY I GOT RID OF MY ENTIRE MAKEUP COLLECTION.

[@ChicagoChicago27]

I get annoyed when I see how much stuff they get sent-what a waste… definitely devalues the brand in my eyes.

[@jtidema]

Exactly my thought.

[@mrod87]

Right. If they can throw out thousands of dollars of the same brand worth of stuff, why would i buy it? U didn’t even like it enough to use it up…or u just accept products and use them bc ur paid to and ur not using stuff u love, bc stuff u love you would use…it’s a scam. It’s all a scam 😂

[@aliyahfatty7732]

Omg true just selfish people out there don’t. Know how to help the poor people I don’t care if she’s a KZbinr she should know

[@alyssamendonsaofficial]

Everytime is see declutter videos I can’t help but think of how this is affecting the environment . I wish companies took expired products back and recycle the containers.

[@AyeshaK]

MAC has a recycling program. For every 6 recycled products you get a free lipstick, lipgloss or eyeshadow

[@alyssamendonsaofficial]

@@AyeshaK yes i am aware . Its great and hope for more brands to take the same actionz

[@moonflower6998]

Agree with you 💯

[@MsEclectic]

In the U.K. Boots and Superdrug’s have a terra-cycle system for makeup containers and components . You can bring back literally anything from all brands!😄

[@DLC0579]

This was LITERALLY the BEST declutter I’ve seen in the history of KZbin lol they always make “declutter” videos and declutter 5 things lol

[@lottetea8550]

For me, mascara and lipglosses are the only things that I'm super cautious with. Powders and products with a pump dispenser, I only throw out if it looks or smells bad lol. Anyway, super satisfying declutter video! :)

This made me reflect and realise how it is to see how much products we buy for the sake of it but never or hardly use the products and they go to waste. Consumerism sucks !! However this was sooo nice to watch!!

[@idontknow6708]

I found you years ago, when I was in middle school, through your old makeup videos. Stopped watching for a little during high school as interests changed, and now I’m a freshman in college, really enjoying your content again. I’m so proud of you, and this is kinda emotional for me too 💕 Congrats on the baby and everything else you’ve achieved! And thanks so much for the makeup lessons.

[@AriASMR7]

Me too back when she used the paint brushes for makeup lol

[@Whatever-t9s]

How nice of you. I sent a similar message then I read yours. PEACE from England UK

[@aliyahfatty7732]

You shouldn’t because it’s too much makeup she don’t even use

[@anginehdavtians1762]

This is the first declutter that was ACTUALLY a declutter 😂 I have one small table top acrylic with 5 drawer (like the one you have on your desk) and I still think what I have is too much because realistically everything expires in 6-12 months so I still won’t use what I have in that time. Besides KZbin being your job I don’t understand how people have so much 🥲 it’s expensive too

[@mariavalentina3075]

Hello all! I want to tell you that the 12M is a little exagerated, and is a keep-selling practice for powder products. For example an eyeshadow palette can be used up to 2-3 years. If you really use them for more, it can become dangerous. Usually if a prodicts expires, it smells different and changes it s texture. For lipstick you can go up to 2 years, if you are carefull. Only for fundations/concelars is good to actually use them as the pack says.

[@selinaminn]

I love how everything you were decluttering was old and “expired” and nostalgic- but this is all the stuff I still own and still use every day when I get ready in the morning. Makes me glad I stopped buying when I did so that I can hopefully finish this stuff up some day and not have to waste it 🙏🏽

[@chasemice]

Same , I decided to stop buying compulsively and really start enjoying what I DO have.

[@angelathanasiu]

That is a huge waste of makeup....This is why people should not hoard makeup,rather its your job or not to be a beauty blogger.If u know its too much for 1 person then you know you don't need it.A minimal makeup collection is all 1 person needs.It's like Laura lee said 1 time too much makeup in a person's collection can be cause anxiety especially when you do declutters. So you are so right when you said why keep if your not gonna use it! People should never had a huge makeup collection unless they know they can use it all without it going to waste.

[@NaysVanity]

I’m sad too . It’s like all of my favorite beauty blogger changed their content. I understand most people don’t get a lot of view on their makeup videos or they don’t care for makeup as much anymore. But it’s truly a end of a era 🥺

[@jacqulinesegarra4938]

This video showed me how bad I need a go through my makeup and get rid of stuff 😂 I don’t know if it’s the pandemic but I been loving to do a minimal makeup look lately so I only need a few products 😂

[@susand5607]

Powders do not expire. I work for a major cosmetics company and we want to make sure people keep buying. 🙂

[@renatamarkovv]

I know what you mean. I'd love to be on a pr list and get tons of makeup. I'd figure ways of sterilizing it and give it away. Or they should contact the KZbinr and ask if they really want it. There are a few pr lists that do exactly that. There is some makeup I don't use, if you are in the US I can try and get it to you.

I don’t take much notice of use-by dates except for products around the eyes and mouth. Blushes and highlighters probably are good for 10 years; as long as you don’t live in a humid climate. I recently threw out some old eyeshadows as there was a fine film of mould on them from being in a damp cabinet (last May it rained almost every day). Great decluttering!

[@onecuet]

I don't give into the hype that powdered palettes or products expire in 6 - 12 months. I consider it more like a best buy date. I've owned several that smell, look, & most of all perform perfectly fine. I'm definitely NOT throwing out my $329 Natasha Denona or a $125 Danessa Myricks palette; just because it hits a 12 month expiration date. If it looks bad, smells werid, or performs poorly. I'll toss it immediately. Cream products are a whole differen't story though. They expire much faster. I've never had an eye infection, acne breakout, or skin problems due to my makeup.

[@mindyourbizok]

I agree with you. I am starting to believe that these influencers get financial incentives to "declutter" "expired" makeup. They probably get tax write-offs. Non influencers like us do not get financial benefits of throwing out makeup just because it is "expired" or they "are not reaching for it". This is why we should not always believe influencers when they do makeup reviews.
