ANTI HAUL | 10 Things I DON'T Buy Anymore (decluttering motivation) 

I’ll definitely add it to my list!

I would love that too! I just discovered my seasonal type and I decided to only buy the colors that suit me most from now on. Had to throw out quite some stuff I liked, but now I know why I look so pale and tired on some days…-_- The color palettes are so interesting!!!!!!!

Yeah it’s so true. Sometimes we chase trends without even realizing we are, but being intentional to stop and look at what we have helps so much

Agreed. As a 2nd, boy shorts are the business!

Totally agree to this! At the beginning of quarantining I bought my own gel nail set which I love to bust out especially when my mom visits and I can do her nails. :) and I regularly donate beauty products to womens shelters although the ones in my area only receive unopened products due to health reasons!

@@frmheadtotoe Updated follow-up: I donate new and gently used skincare and cosmetic items to a women's victim's shelter and LGBTQ organizations who are thrilled to receive such things as you are decluttering many can be sanitized. Every shelter has different policies, just call to inquire. I feel there are not enough beauty influencers passing products along to those in need or talking about this concept of helping those in your community or donating them to organizations that will. Thousands of people subscribe to Ipsy, BoxyCharm, FabFitFun and end up with unwanted/unused, swatched once products. Organizations like *Project Beauty Share* will gladly sterilize and donate used cosmetics and skin care to women and families who need help to have been displaced, have escaped violent situations, are experiencing poverty, or other barriers in life that have a direct impact on their well-being, hope, and dignity. Give them away to friends, family, in order to re-home them to give perfectly usable product a fighting chance before ending up in a landfill. You can give them away via Nextdoor, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, Depop, Glou Beauty, OfferUp, etc, all are perfectly acceptable. People like me would happily come pick them up! Mascara Wands: *Wands for Wildlife* is in need of used mascara wands help save wild animals. The organization collects, cleans, and distributes the wands to wildlife services in need. The wands are then used for animal care. They remove debris, bugs, and eggs from fur. Please consider inquiring with your local women's shelters and look up the above, use your voice to spread awareness. At the very least, they can be used as pigments because that's what makeup is: for artists, kids, etc. It's a medium of color to be used, not to end up in a landfill. You could even compost it when removed from the packaging. Example: Powdered formulas last indefinitely. So long as it doesn't smell and the product is performing, it's good to use. Those dates sometimes relate to break down but more often they relate to getting rid of perfectly usable product so you feel like you need to purchase again. It's how the industry ensures profit. It depends on the product. Use common sense. There is also a container icon with an M and a number, which means once you open it, the guide is to use the product within for example 12M (12 months). Add a sticker to when you open it. Pencils can be sharpened to unused, clean product, etc. Pump bottles can be re-used for other things. Stickers can be removed from glass bottles and these containers can be re-used. If the product is new enough or untouched enough, you can even make money on selling it via Poshmark, Glambot, Ebay, Mercari, Reddit MakeupExchange, YouFromMe, etc. (Content creators are often obligated to not resell however.) Plenty of people are always looking for discontinued and current products. Lastly: Nordstrom's project "BEAUTYCYCLE" accepts the following: HAIR CARE: Empty bottles, tubes and caps from shampoo, conditioner and styling products SKIN CARE: Empty bottles, tubes and dispensers from cleansers, toners and moisturizers MAKEUP: Empty tubes, tubs, pans, palettes and twist-up containers from all cosmetics SAMPLES: Trial-size tubes and vials, excluding perfume It would be wonderful to see a trend of every content creator each making a dedicated video and short to educate the public on these options. Please spread the word!

Mixed fabrics are most useful sartorially and then for the end consumer than they are given credit. Brava for your comment!

What’s VPL?

R+Co has a one so does bumble and bumble also that love plant brand from the drug store but not sure how good they are

I linked some of my favorites in the info box liketoknowit link, however if you want a super affordable alternative just use some straight up corn starch from the grocery store! It will absorb hair oils in a pinch. Or setting powder for your face! I’ve used that with a powder brush and it gets the job done!

klorane makes an incredible non aerosol dry shampoo, super absorbent and good for sensitive/itchy scalps!!

@@janeosun Klorane makes the best dry shampoo, ever. Hands down.

This was a consignment store find from over 10 years ago! It’s a Theory leather blazer :)
