MAKEUP DECLUTTER 2023: Blush, Bronzer, Highlighter, & Base Collection 

sooo hard! 😩

By the time I finally wanted to try it I couldn't find it!

@@MoonlitSunflower Damn, unlucky! I saw some signs that it might be on the way out, but I did manage to get my hands on it. Although I live in Sweden so I don't have any tips on where to find it.

paigejohnson9201 *When Decluttering:* Please consider the following to reduce one-time use/waste: I donate new and gently used skincare and cosmetic items & household 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 local shelter and organization has different policies, just call to inquire. A few places near me happily accept them. 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. Creams can last far longer than the printed "expiration" date which is only a guide and a way to perpetuate you spending money again. You can revive them with Inglot Duraline 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. They can be sanitized with a spray of 70% alcohol or UV light. 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. For those who want to live by what manufacturers tell you, 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. Some thrift stores, churches, and organizations gladly accept gently used cosmetics and skincare and people like me can find some amazing products this way 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. 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. There is an excellent video on using what you have titled "Stop buying make-up! | Project Pan update!" with Charlotte Rebecca. @HannahLouisePoston is also extremely thoughtful about what to keep, buy, and not give in to. Lastly there is the “Pact Collective”. Visit their website to find drop-off bin locations like *ULTA, Caliray, Saie, Westman Atelier, Fenty, rms beauty, Sephora, and so many more*. Many cosmetic companies are part of this group to help you find a collection bin to discard Pact-accepted empties. Don’t have access to a bin? Send your empties back through their mail-back program. Please spread the word! You can revive drying cream products with Inglot Duraline. Just one drop overnight will bring it back to life.

Sounds cozy!!🍵 Thank you for watching 🩵

Haha yeah it feels way more like a lip gloss than a blush!

Nothin wrong with that!!❤️

Ooh thank you for the heads up!!😅

I got a mini of Werk for a Sephora birthday gift, and it didn’t work well and smelled like crayons pretty quickly. I thought that was how their sticks just were!

I've had my mini blush in werk that was a sephora birthday gift for at least 2 years and it still has the same lemon esq scent and works well!

I had no problem with the blush and bronzer going bad just the packaging is very faulty. On both the thread stopped working so neither could I twist it up or back anymore, I had to depot it.

Declutters are my fave too!! And I just got the Milk primer a couple days ago, so I would be surprised if it was already expired!

​@SarahRoseBeauty I'm pretty sure I got a bronzer stick from them expired. It smelled like an old sponge. That, or reviewers just forgot to mention that detail.

I feel like the hydro grip was never blue? 🤔

My daughter's name is Scarlett too 🥰

That’s such a beautiful name! ❤️

@@SarahRoseBeauty thank you
