IKR, @jen81?! 😃 Lippies have always been the most challenging declutter for me. But, it’s done and I’m hoping to keep to a more manageable lot going forward. Agree with you about less being more. I tend to wear more tinted lip balms nowadays to keep my lips moisturized and working on shopping my stash. 

[haleyvvvv]

Oh wow, great lippie declutter, @itsfi!! So great you're able to donate a bunch of these!! 

[itsfi]

Thank you @haleyvvvv! Lippies are probably the largest category of makeup for me to declutter so the rest should be easier (hopefully) to do. It’ll be good to donate the unopened lipsticks. I think I’ll go through my unused samples to see if there are any lipstick sample packets to donate as well.

[CookieGirl1]

Wow, @itsfi, great job of going through your collection and that's so sweet of you to donate a lot of them!  Major kudos, girl.

[itsfi]

Thank you @CookieGirl1! It feels good to declutter these lippies, some I’ve held onto for far too long. 😔 I’m happy that the unopened mini’s will be going to a good home. 😊

@itsfi I saw the declutter from @heartsmyface as well and wow.  You're both doing amazing!  I want to draw inspiration... but... I'm not there mentally yet lol.  I was going to ask if you sold AVON.  Those little lippies so remind me of my mom selling it when I was little lol. 

[itsfi]

@missjeanie, no, I don’t sell Avon but those lippies ARE Avon lipsticks! 💄 Good eye! Avon had a set a couple of years ago in the cutest holiday tin. When I was young, my mom had a friend who sold Avon and every once in a while my mom would get some of those little lippies to try before purchasing, which meant little Fi would find a way to get her little hands on one of them to play makeup with. Heehee! So I picked up a set for my mom and I may have picked one up for myself as well. 😃 Lots of memories seeing those mini lippies. 

Yeah, it definitely helps with decluttering to be ready mentally for parting with things. I think working through so many of my sheet masks over the last 18 months and going  through my foil samples and partially used products over the last 2 years helped a lot. There were some that I hemmed and hawed at parting with, that’s for sure. I also put all the decluttered lippies (other than the Avon ones) in the trash that night, which was the night before trash pick up so that there’s no way for me to take back another one (or all of them) back in my drawer. 😂 

[missjeanie]

Such awesome memories @itsfi !  I wonder if AVON is where my love of mini things started? lol

[itsfi]

@missjeanie, hahaha! 😆 The mini’s are pretty cute! 💄 My poor mom! She’d hide away certain things, in places she didn’t think I’d be able to get to or places that she didn’t think I’d ever be interested in going through. 🤣 But I always somehow found my way to some of her stuff. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Belated May empties (ooof apologies for the terrible back-lit photos, was not thinking when I took them)

These two masks were great and aren't available anymore booo.

[missjeanie]

Keep an eye out at Winner/TJMaxx/Marshalls for those Dr. Jart Masks @haleyvvvv .  I've seen them there before everything closed down, and would imagine they'll still be in some stores. Love all those SDJ products... I can smell them when I see the photos!

[haleyvvvv]

That's a good idea, @missjeanie!! My local Winners isn't the most well stocked with skincare but I'll check it out. Thank you!! Also, yes, same whenever I see people post SDJ things, I'm always like yum that scent!!

[CookieGirl1]

I love the SEPHORA COLLECTION Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover 4.2 oz / 125 mL!  It works really well for me.  Great Empties, @haleyvvvv .

[haleyvvvv]

Thank you, @CookieGirl1!! I'm glad it works well for you!! I should've labeled it a bit better, because oof, that was not my favorite product.

[ather]

@haleyvvvv  Aww that’s too bad the firm lover isn’t available anymore. 😭

[haleyvvvv]

That wasn't fair of me to say outright, @ather. they've reformulated the serum packaging (they're now in a glass ampoule instead of their old packaging), and maybe updated the formula. I might test one out at some point but I have so many masks that buying an $18 one right now is a little ridiculous.

Hi @haleyvvvv,

Great empties! 

Best,

Rebecca

[haleyvvvv]

Thank you, @RebeccaBT!!

[itsfi]

Nice empties @haleyvvvv! I do like that boscia biocellulose mask! Such a bummer that they’re no longer available. 😔 

[haleyvvvv]

Thanks, @itsfi!! It looks like it is available at Ulta (just not for us Canadians until next year). I also don't use sheet masks enough to do a major search for them, and shop pretty exclusively at Sephora, so if it isn't there 🤷‍♀️

[sephoraaddict918]

Very nice empties @haleyvvvv!!! I just used the Boscia one during a mask session last week! I love how my skin feels after using it!! FYI: They're still available at Ulta!!!
