Instead of doing an empties post for last month, I thought I would do a 'makeup graveyard' post. I got this idea from Loz over at Polish and Patterns! I didn't really have many empties last month, and certainly nothing noteworthy (just the usual, Seche Vite, polish remover etc).
So let's see what I've decided to eliminate from my collection this month...
Kleancolor Baked Eyeshadow
Rimmel BB Cream
Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in 'Temptation'
Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick in '07
Nivea Pure & Natural Moisturising Day Cream
Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick in 'Heather Shimmer'
Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick in 'A Drop of Sherry'
Kleancolor Eyeshadow
I bought this a few years off, off Beautyjoint, for a few dollars. It was pretty good, but I'm not really into using single shadows these days, I prefer palettes.
Rimmel BB Cream
I could never worked out if I liked this or not. I think I tried to force myself to like it. It's about half full still, but I can't be bothered trying anymore. Luckily, the other Rimmel base products I have are awesome (the Stay Matte and Match Perfection foundations) so I won't hold a grudge against this!
Rimmel Lipsticks
These lipsticks were amongst the first that I bought when I was getting into lipstick, about 3 years ago. I don't really use these shades anymore. I never actually used 07 at all because I just can't seem to do nudes. Throwing these out wasn't too hard; if I ever feel compelled to repurchase, they're only around the $12 mark!
Nivea Day Cream
I also have the sensitive version which I much prefer, so I'm getting rid of the 'moisturising' version because I find it too heavy and we didn't really get along.
So those are a few things I've culled, in order to downsize my makeup/beauty collection because it was actually making me a bit stressed out how much stuff I had and that I was running out of storage space. Hopefully I'll do another one of these posts in the next few months, so stay tuned.
Have you done a clean out of your collection recently?
Great work Sarah! It's kinda liberating getting rid of stuff you haven't used in ages or didn't really like. Next time will be easier and you'll probably be more ruthless :) I actually don't own any Rimmel lipsticks at all.. weird! Perhaps the Nivea would have worked as a body lotion, I find most of their facial lotions too heavy. x
ReplyDeleteThanks Loz! It really is a good feeling. You really need to check out some Rimmel lippies :(
DeleteOoh interesting post! I have a few lipsticks lying around that I just never reach for and should probably get rid of...
ReplyDeleteThanks Catherine! Haha maybe you should :)
DeleteI need to one of these posts soon, my collection is starting to get ridiculous and unnecessary! Most of the products I'm trying to finish were from a few moons ago as well.

Thats exactly how I felt. It's good to de-clutter :)
Deleteoh, I was just thinking about buying some of the kate moss lipsticks whilst they are on sale at priceline. is it just the colours you don't like? i hope theres nothing bad about the formulation. I have one and its fine!
ReplyDeleteNope they're not bad, they're amazing :) the only reason I got rid of them is because they're several years old. I highly recommend them, especially the Kate Moss matte ones.
DeleteRimmel ain't gettin no love from you! Haha jk, I recently did a clear out of my nail polish and makeup collection too. For some reason I culled a lot of purple polishes even though I love purple! They were all quite frosty though which was my reasoning :)
ReplyDeleteTasha // shiwashiful.
Haha I did notice that! But I have heaps of Rimmel in general so its okay :) well done on clearing out nail polish!
DeleteA timely post for me - ive done a huge lean out! 29 nail polishes gone, some lipsticks, a palette - when I clear out, I'm ruthless
ReplyDeleteWow great work! That's quite a big cull :)
