Hello, hello – welcome to / welcome back to A Brash Attitude!
I’ve been gradually sorting through my make-up collection and have started the process of decluttering products that are either mega old, or products that I just don’t reach for. I’ll link to any reviews in case you want to check them out.
Blushes and bronzers:
Tarte, Juice Beauty, Sothys*, and Too Faced. All of these, with the exception of the Juice Beauty are more than four years old. The Juice Beauty cream blush is more recent, but sadly, it has started to dry out.
Lipsticks:
ColourPop, Maison Jacynthe*, Essence, Axiology, KVD* and NudeStix – most of these are several years old, and have started to go off.
The ColourPop, Hikari and Too Faced are old and I cannot remember the last time that I used them. The Juice Beauty Foundation has started to go off, the scent has changed – it smells like paint.
Highlighters:
These are all quite old – ColourPop, Essence, Wet N Wild, and Brazen – and I never reach for them anymore.
Have you done a makeup declutter?
Thanks for reading

Disclosure: PR gifted products identified *, all others were purchased by me.
I need to do another declutter. I did a big one last year before I moved. I’ve tossed a few things here & there since we moved again this year, but I need to go through more stuff.

I have more lipsticks to go through – but had to wait because rancid lipstick smell / texture is the worst! And I can’t deal with it again just yet.

Little declutters can feel just as satisfying as bigger clear outs, curious which shades of the Colourpop products you’re saying goodbye to… I had a little declutter today as it happens and made a pile of lip products to try again that I’m on the fence about 🙂

I think it was all of the ColourPop in my collection – they were getting old and dried out and since I never reach for them, it was time to go!

Fair enough! It is a shame Colourpop products don’t seem to have the same longevity compared to other brands.

I think their powder products are long lasting, but cream based products tend to dry out regardless of the brand. And most lipsticks tend to go off after a few years.

Would be so difficult to do this! I only last year parted with 12 year old makeup!

I think the Tarte blushes were at least 12 to 15 years old!
