Stream Lining Makeup - Part 5 #EYESHADOW #PALETTES

#DeclutterMode

Question: Does one need 11 eyeshadow palettes? 

Answer: Probably not.

The first step consisted of immediately putting the #TARTE Pro, #Tartelette in Bloom, and #KatVonD #Shade+Light Eye Contour Palettes aside. 

The next step was to say goodbye to the following: #TheBalm #TheNudeTude -  I learned that I wasn't the biggest fan of this eyeshadow formula compared to others, #TheNudeDude palette hasn't been touched - see my #Poshmark). Also, didn't find the #Clinique eyeshadow formula to be long lasting. The #Smashbox On The Rocks palette did have an amazing range of colors, but I wasn't reaching for them. It was hard to let go of the #Dior palette, well truthfully because it was Dior. The trickiest part was going through the #UrbanDecay eyeshadow palettes. Has anyone else noticed a discrepancy with the formula of the #VicePalettes compared to the #NakedPalettes? I ended just keeping the original Naked palette. 

Time to donate to friends/family and sell on my Poshmark (user name is @KimberlyM318).

Stream Lining Makeup - Part 4 Powder Highlighters

#DeclutterMode!

Here we go again. As per usual, when trying to minimize your collection, begin with setting aside your favorites like #BeccaChampagnePop. Of course, that means I have to keep the #BeccaXJaclynHill Palette as well. It was time to say goodbye to the highlighter with the cutest packaging, #TheBalm Cindy-Lou Manizer, however, not so flattering undertone for my skin tone. Also, I accepted that you have to let go of things you aren't using even if they were expensive, or Limited Edition. Like the #BOBBIBROWN #ShimmerBrick Compact in the shade Pink. If this shade suits you check out my #Poshmark (user name is @KimberlyM318).

Happy shopping!

Streaming Lining Makeup Part 2 - Blush

#DeclutterMode

It's time to trim the fat! No one needs this many blush! I've had a tendency to collect blush based on my favorite, long wearing formulas which mainly consist of #Tarte, #TheBalm, #Clinique, and a pinch of #bareMinerals. After closely examining all 20 blushes I realized I don't need every single color of the rainbow, especially since half of them don't suit my skin tone! I decided to keep more nude, peachy/pink blushes. This included my favorite #HolyGrail status TARTE Exposed, and TheBalm's HotMama.  After putting my faves aside, I swatched the others and here is the end result. Now it's time to share with family and friends and/or put on my #Poshmark (@KimberlyM318) for sale. Happy shopping!

#DeclutterMode 

Step 1: Keep my fave #KevynAucoin Sculpting Powder in shade Medium, and my fave formula of bronzer #TooFaced.

STEP 2: Do I really need all of this? Saying goodbye to about 70% of my bronzer collection.

STEP 3: Let go of items I haven't been reaching for. Shop my #Poshmark to get these babies in your collection now at sick prices!

Streamlining Makeup Part 1 - Primers

#DeclutterMode

It's time to trim the fat! No one needs this many primers. I decided to cover all bases by keeping a glowy primer (#BeccaCosmetics #BacklightPrimingFilter), hydrating primer (#MarcJacobs #InvisibleUndercoverPerfectingCoconutPrimer), and pore filling primer (#MilkMakeup #BlurStick). Also kept a #travelsize #MakeupForever #Step1 Smoothing Primer). Time to declutter the excess! (Donate/give to friends/family).
