How to Renew Excitement in Your 'Old' Products 

When I got overwhelmed with all my makeup, I went through each palette and depotted only the shadows I really loved. Now I have a few magnetic palettes full of shadows that I use all the time. And when I travel I can take each shadow that I really want to take, instead of lots of palettes where I only use a few of each. I also took the extra light shimmery shadows in all my palettes, crushed them up, mixed them together and repressed into a big pan and made some bomb highlighters

Awesome video, incorporating gratitude into our lives is so important for happiness. We are surrounded with plenty and yet we often feel let down. Understanding the wealth we already possess is paramount in a society where we compulsively over consume. Thank you.

omg i needed this video so bad!!!! I am so bored with my collection but i am on a year long no buy so thank you!! Best. Idea .Ever for a video, EVER! Good job on coming out with such original and helpful ideas!

I love your Pinterest idea. I also like EmilyNoel83 series "Eye Remember". She focuses on palettes that everyone got and then forgot.

i'm entering a no buy period very soon and damn this video came in like a gift from my guardian angel ahah. thank you so much

I started watching this video and it took me 3 months to get several looks together that I can wear with products I already owned. So in July 2018 I listed 50 products to work on (including skincare and perfume). It's now Oct 30th and happy to say 16/50 are completely done and 4 products I'm almost done with- maybe in the next week. This is a huge deal for me. I'm working on the rest of the products until the end of the year. Happy to say I've incorporated all of your tips here so THANK YOU!! ❤️

When I watch tutorials or reviews, i go through my makeup and see if i have something similar. Especially if I like the look their doing, I try to find my closest color match. I also try to remember that my face isn't shaped like some of the girls doing tutorials, so it may not be the color that looks wrong on me, maybe it is a technique that doesn't match my face. I also try to use a different palette every week, different bronzer, blush etc. I also clean up my make up to make it look nice. I have very few items that I've hit pan on at the moment so if the package is clean, it looks new. I also think if you store it neatly and organized, you can see items better and it makes it easier to see and use things

Loved this video. I rotate my eyeshadow palettes and my blushes so I'm not using the same thing every day. I also have a board on my Pinterest for the eyeshadows and swatches that are in my collection. That way when I'm looking at eyeshadow palettes I can see if I already have similar colors in my collection.

As usual, excellent and usable tips. You rock....even for those of us who are more "mature"

When you were talking about different use for profucts I was literally putting gel serum for nails on my hair xD I got sick of it and just wanted to use it up!

Not this is a great video. This video is inspiring and creative! Tash, you are so amazing, I'm so glad you are here on RU-vid because you are a breath of fresh air! :)

Thank you for the airless pump suggestion! I bought one on Amazon on your recommendation and I just started using it. I'm loving it! I mixed 2 half foundations into the new bottle and I'm actually enjoying using the foundation!😁

Love this video. Thank you. I watch it over and over with all helpful tips 😊♥️🙏🏼Thank you

Gonna watch this more than once

Very sensible tips and tricks!! 💛💚💜 If it helps any other collectors out there (whether your collection is big or small), then I can say I'm having a great experience so far using the free app Snupps, which has been around for a while. I swatched and organised my cosmetics recently, and then uploaded everything into digital 'shelves' on the app (where it always looks good). It's basically like online shopping at Sephora, but instead - as beauty youtubers often say - you "shop your stash" and can search and compare what you already own very quickly. I now see colours/products first instead of brands/palettes, and I don't have to go hunting through drawers to find things that can be buried at the bottom and sometimes forgotten. I also use the app to leave myself notes about product performance, I use it to see what I already have to compare it to new releases, and I have images saved for inspiration/looks I want to recreate. I'd love to know how everyone else organizes their make up!! 😊 I honestly can't memorize every single item I own, so Snupps has fixed that for me. xxo

Project panning made me appreciate my collection on a whole new level ☺️ Thank you for the tips! ♥️

Hi 👋 I am doing a no buy for the month of April and a project pan for the year 2018 and that has made me appreciate and use the makeup that I already have. Great 👍 video!

The first advice is something I do out of habit. Maybe watching other people love it makes me happy about my choices :)

Just in time for me! 👌🏾Having a hard time with my no-buy: looking for second hand palettes, dupes for palettes, reviews of fake palettes, in short: searching temptations.

I haven't heard of many of these ideas! Thanks for getting creative and not giving us the same ideas everyone else does. You're awesome!!!

Great video! Thanks for sharing! I just took notes of what you talked about. Writing things down on paper, has been always very helpful for me.

These are great! I like to watch tutorials and swatch videos of old products I have, like the urban decay naked palettes. It gets me excited to use them again. They used to be my holy grails, but they've been forgotten because of new things I've added in.

The idea of finding out what dupes you already own is Genius!! My best tip right now is that I have a ton of single eyeshadows, I was trying to sort of narrow them down and it was overwhelming. I started curating a small palette of favorites as a gift for my sister (who has the same skintone as I do) and I have learned SO MUCH. It's made me be creative in ways I never expected!

Love your ideas! I especially agree about the tip on organization; putting my makeup into my Alex 9-drawer units made such a difference for me. I've hardly bought any makeup in 2018 because I can actually see everything I own now! :)

Thank you I loved this video the ideas were really cool your videos always make me smile I’m struggling at the moment with pain I’ve got the hospice on Friday to help but I love watching your videos they’re such a good distraction thank you x

I enjoyed your video. I am trying to hit pan and use up what I have before I buy something else too. Great ideas.

I love all your ideas!! I also rotate my eyeshadow palettes every week. This way I am able to come up with different looks with each one of them, it has increased my creativity and I found the dupes for the latest tutorials witt the new releases :)

Totally agree with you on the cleaning of products. I periodically clean all my make up and spray it with beauty so clean. Congrats on 10K too 🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉

What a brilliant video topic! I love finding RU-vidrs who talk more about using and enjoying products that you already own rather than keep buying everything new that comes out :) I subscribed

INCREDIBLE VIDEO. Just what I needed girly! (Since I can't afford to buy new high end makeup) Thank you.. 😘😘

This video was so helpful to me! I am going to try that Pinterest idea! You make make-up fun! TFS! ~ Nona

Im really bad a rotating items. I use usually a few lipsticks until theyre gone. Meanwhile 50 lipsticks are sitting in a makeup drawer. Need to work on rotating making so i dont get sick of them so fast. I watch youtube for makeup ideas since i love colorful eyeshadow looks.

Great tips! I ended up using the Urban Decay shadow single in Sellout as a highlighter after I hit pan to use it up. It was older and in the old style packaging. I ended up loving it as a highlighter so much that I recently bought a new on during the Ulta 21 days of beauty to use as a highlighter!

Great video,I try to cut my expenses cz sometimes I realize I spent more money monthly in make up than in paying a credit I have 🙈. I try to rotate the things and finish the ones that they are going to pump,but it’s true it’s easier for liquid like concealers,foundation,not for powder ones

Cool video! our ideas were really creative! I use Lovelyloot (app) to keep track of my makeup collection by categories. And panning is fun for me too

I love the Pinterest board idea!!!

These were great tips tash! I agree that switching up the packaging and location can be super helpful! For me, depotting items into my magnetic Tarte palette really helps. Since I depotted my Becca opal highlight and my butter bronzer I’ve hit pan on both just because they are so easy to reach for

What a great video topic. Thanks! An odd alternative I use is lip balm for my cuticles. I've found a lip product that works so well that I don't want to use anything else I have, so I keep my not so loved lip balms by my laptop and when I think about it, smear some on my cuticles and soften them up! Kopari lip love is what I would use over anything else, but I use it as a treat because it's $12 for a tube!

Funny thing is, I subscribed to you because the Kat Von D Shade & Light eyeshadow palette is in your Project Pan!

Excellent Job here!! Tons of great ideas Tasha! Thank you Karol Klug

I needed this! I've been buying a lot since the 21 days of beauty sale at ulta and have kept going but want to commit to a no-buy during May to get myself back under control and just use what I have! This was super helpful and congrats on 10k!!!

Very helpful tips, thank you! Congratulations on 10k ❤️

I had to take an unwanted break from makeup this week as one of my eyes got infected (literally the day after I washed my brushes!!!) Since the swelling is down, I can probably start wearing make up tomorrow. You were spot on in this video in that make up in that breaks can make you even more excited for your collection

Love this video since I have a huge makeup collection. Also love Jidenna too!

Very useful! Thanks for the video

Great tips

Thanks for sharing!

This is such a great video. I've been looking for ways to renew my interest in my already-substantial collection rather than adding to it for kicks. I LOVE the pinterest board and looking up tutorials idea - I'm going to start doing that .

Great tips! It is amazing to see how different things work for different people. In my personal case, I depotted many products I loved because I wanted to have them in the same place so I could use them more frequently. I regretted it almost immediately. I never reach for them now. Actually, I feel mad when I look at the Z palette, because I just don't want to use it. I am even thinking buying some of the products again. I don't know if I am the only one, but lesson learned. Depotting does not work for me because I need to have the product in it's original packaging to keep the excitement towards that product.

You always have useful tip, Natasha! I'm going to try moving my items around. Many blessings, and joy...MaryEllen

I keep very minimal makeup as I go bare faced most days. I have never owned a "pallette". I enjoy watching youtubers review them, but feel no need to buy them myself as I am very aware I would never use it. My makeup consists of a powder foundation, blush, a couple single eye shadows, an eyeliner, mascara, a lip liner and 2 lipsticks. I do have about 6 lip glosses as I wear those daily....

Good video! Very creative

Excellent video! 👌 Thanks a lot Natasha! 😁💋💄

Alright. 1) I had no idea you had a 'song of the day' in your description box. It's brilliant and now I will have to go through your videos to see what's there. 2) I was obsessed with a song 2 years ago but I lost it and forgot what it was called/who sang it. I seriously forgot everything about it except that I LOVED it. As I was listening to the song in your description box, I was looking through his other stuff and found the song! It was Classic Man. So thank you for steering me his way. Hahah.

Great video! Got some ideas to help me get excited about my current collection. 😊

thank you!! I have been searching for something like this!

Love the Pinterest idea!

These are REALLY great ideas!! Thank you!

Such a great video! All these tips are fantastic. I’m preparing for a no buy year and will look this video up regularly as a reminder in 2019. Thank you!

Great tips! Thanks for sharing!

love this!!! i love rediscovering old products so much!

This is an awesome video! I needed this SO badly! I’d be interested to see a video of products you’d be interested in trying if the brands were cruelty free (like the new NARS foundation, new MAC collections, etc.). ☺️❤️

Awesome video! Perfect timing as I'm going to try to severely reduce the amount of new products I bring in for a couple months and use the stuff I already own.

Lol Every time I see new products, I'm like "Dang. I wish I hadn't already purchase this product, and bought this one instead," but the ones I already have are already good.

Love all these tips. I’m on a makeup no buy (inspired by you!) and will use these going forward. Thanks!

What great ideas!

Such great ideas!

How can someone dislike this video!!!!...

Such helpful tips! Thanks!

I don't put my makeup on until I get to the office. So, instead of a weekly makeup basket, I have a weekly makeup bag. I change stuff up to keep it interesting.

Brava. Buoni suggerimenti!

Great tips!

Doing the unthinkable and unsubscribing from trendmood helps bc you don’t see all the new releases. You’ll eventually see them when they come out but you won’t constantly be seeing things you can’t have

This was super helpful :)

I feel like this is the first time you’ve introduced yourself?!

💜💜💜

Great tips I enjoyed the video and please Natasha I would love de know your opinion in the blush that you purchased it lately from essence. Is it good?

🤓this is great

Can you go in depths or more easier stub by step explaining the Pinterest idea I would love to know so I can try that. I would love to hear feedback from anyone kinda enough to share. Much love.. 💗💗

🌹🌹

Weird stuff for me is that if I stop wearing makeup for a while, I get lazy and just stop in general. Sometimes my skin gets patchy and flakes at some area I just can’t make it look nice with makeup. I prefer my face look very very natural and not caky at all so if I can’t work with foundation I just stop using it. But then I get annoyed because my face look so uneven without foundation.

Наташа!
