When it comes to our beauty collections, it’s easy to get carried away. We’re constantly bombarded with newness and that all-too-familiar itch of wanting the next big thing. Which is why, after working in the industry for over a decade, I have amassed an embarrassingly large amount of products.
But along with the cravings we get for the shiny and new, it’s also very common to want to declutter, rid ourselves of our hoard of best foundations and best face moisturisers, to create a more streamlined collection. After a recent house move, I found myself in this very situation. Packing away almost all of my beauty stash gave me the perfect excuse for an extreme, Marie Kondo-level declutter. My love of organisation took over, and after days of swatching, sniffing and swiping, I’d successfully cleared out over 10 years worth of products.
