A friend asked me a few weeks ago what I thought of getting a skip (dumpster) to do a big declutter.
I said to her that while that would work for some people, it wouldn’t work for me.
1) I don’t have that much junk
2) I prefer things to leave my house a bag or two at a time because I’m a baby steps person.
I thought of that when I decided to simplify my make-up.
My secret organising fantasy is to have just one lipstick that looks good with all my clothes and wear only that.
Well, until that time comes, I’m simplifying my make-up very, very slowly. Baby steps.
Before I got to the before pic, I threw out about 3 – 4 lipsticks.
It was time to go through it again. I don’t make a big deal about organising/ decluttering/ simplifying – I wait until things feel like they need a tweak or until I get a bee in my bonnet and then I just have at it.
That’s what happened one Saturday evening after we got home and put the kids to bed (that’s why the pics are this strange shade) – on this particular night I tossed another 2.

AFTER – the stuff I use every day in the pink candle-holder
and the rest on the other side |
this plastic container with my eyeshadow rests on the top |
this is what I use every day – lipliner, lipstick and an eyeliner and most days,
some eyeshadow on my (very light) eyebrows |
dental floss, blemish stick,brush, night cream
and some other lipsticks and some lipliners |
So… I want to know from you
Are you the type who gets the dumpster or do you declutter a bag or two at a time?
And.. do you wear the same shade of lipstick every day?
PS thanks to Chloe for giving me the idea of keeping the everyday make-up together. I love it 🙂
