In the apartment, I had 3 locations with beauty-related items in them. I had a dresser drawer in my bedroom containing my makeup, one bathroom drawer containing skincare & bath items and a drawer in my office that holds some miscellaneous items and extras (nail polish, extra soap/lotion, etc.). This is obviously because I had no physical way of having all of my beauty-related items together, seeing as our space was quite small. & I don't even really have that many things!
Drawer #1 (bedroom)
First, I'm giving the hard candy duo eyeshadow away to a friend, because I've only ever swatched it. It came in a beauty box 5 when I was subscribed briefly. The shadows are quite pigmented, I just don't wear those types of shades. Secondly, the Skinn face illuminator. This is so old, it smells weird (but always has) & has now developed clumps. I've used it in the past, but it really did nothing for me...so to the trash! Next up, Got2b body butter. This stuff literally looks & feels like butter. Which is kind of gross to me. It smells alright, but this is also really old. Trash! Finally, Nivea moisturizer. This used to be my go-to moisturizer. I've repurchased this so many times. I noticed more recently that it was really greasing up the place, so I've decided to pass it on to a friend & use more combination skin friendly products.
Also in the bedroom, I had a few Lush things. Here are two that I'm tossing. The Lust solid perfume. I love the smell of this & it was mostly used up, but it's now very old & Lush products generally don't keep for more than a year (this was probably pushing 3 years). A sample of the Luster Dusting Powder. I believe that this is a product that is now being discontinued, but it smells exactly like the Lust perfume - very jasmine-ish & sultry. It's very nice smelling, but this dusting powder always left a not-so-sexy yellow tint to my skin...not for me!
Drawer #2 (bathroom)
In the bathroom there were only a couple of things to toss...This Nair hair removal cream that smells like chemicals & feels like them too. As you can probably tell, the tube has had some use. I never used this on my face, I mostly used it on my legs. The Simple light moisturizer is actually quite a lovely product! It is not greasy, which is pretty fantastic for something containing an SPF. Unfortunately, this didn't all get used up before the aforementioned SPF expired. Bye Bye!
Drawer #3 (office)
The office drawers end up collecting things that aren't immediately being used, then they end up being forgotten. Here are a few forgotten products. Jergens Natural Glow was one of those things that seemed like a good idea at the time, but turned out horribly. This was the old formula & it smelled terrible! Veet hair removal (I'm beginning to see a trend) does not work well for me. I've used about half of this & like the Jergens it smells BAD. The Avon sunscreen is simply past it's expiration date..thus not worth keeping. Finally, this weird hand lotion that smells like fake, plastic peaches & isn't moisturizing. At. All.
Some nail things I've found. The nail decorating kit was well loved when I had time to do fun designs. I'm also not that great at it. Even in this picture you can see that some of the colours are well used & kind of dried up. The salon effects thing was kind of used. I'm not much of a fan of these actually. They were fun to try, but I wouldn't buy any myself. The Artistry colour is quite bland & clumped. 'nuff said.
I'm mostly ridding myself of things that have gone bad. Otherwise items are being packed up & moved or given to a friend (if they are still good, but not used).
Have you purged anything lately?
Cheers,
Kait
