Do You Use It?
When Was The Last Time You Wore It?
If you haven’t worn that lipstick for over a year are you going to wear it now? I totally understand that some products are seasonal like plum in the Autumn and Corals in the Summer, but if that coral lipstick was not whipped out last Summer, is it really going to make a special appearance next Summer?

Ask Yourself The Right Questions
It can be a little easy to carried in the ‘but it’s so pretty!’ hype, but if the product doesn’t work for you, is it really worth keeping? Asking yourself questions can really help you narrow your products down especially in your maybe pile. For Example:
Does it fit with my current style?
Is it Compatible With Your Skin Type?
Sometimes you may get drawn in to a foundation that’s better for people with dry skin when you have oily, so it may be a good idea to say goodbye.
I really hope these tips help you!
When was the last time you had a sort out?
Thank you for reading!

haha thank you! I hope it helps her!
I went through my beauty stash lately and I was so ruthless! I feel much better for it now though 🙂
Such a helpful post, hun, thank you for sharing all these tips! Whilst I am not a hoarder by nature, I am definitely a little bit of a hoarder when it comes to makeup. I find it difficult to part with products, because 'Who knows I might need it one day', haha! <3 xoxo

You feel so good afterwards don't you?! x
I'm glad you think so! I struggle with that too, but I found that once it had gone I didn't miss it! It's so hard though x
Thank you x

I'm a massive hoarder too so these tips are really helpful! I recently went through my skincare stash and found things that were out of date, hadn't even been used 🙁 so annoyed!

Thank you! It is really difficult! x
I'm glad you think so! Oh no, it's horrible when that happens! x
This is me to total T. I did this clear out but with my wardrobe a few weeks ago and god it felt good. I’m yet to do this with my make up and beauty bits as I’m overdue to throw some things out. I always think ‘if you haven’t used it or wore it in the last 6 months, do you need it? No.’ Otherwise I’d never get rid of anything!
It’s so hard to declutter makeup isn’t it?! It does feel so much better after a clear out! That’s what helps me too, such a good way of thinking!xx
