Make-Up too Far...

Hi Guys!

So in this weeks post i wanted to share some of my tips and tricks to cleaning out, re-stocking and re-vamping your make up collection.

I have recently moved back home from uni for the summer period, during this time i realised how much make up i actually owned. It was split between Uni and Home but frankly, it was the same items rather than different ones at each house.

It was this (as well as the fact i knew there would be less to pack up in september..) that inspired me to really sort through, sort out and chuck out what i didn't need, want or wanted to make a lost of to re-buy. Here are some top tips i found to help keep you on the line to sorting through.

Tip 1.
Empty out all your make-up in to one big pile, not only will you be able to see the sheer amount you have, but you will also be able to get through and be sorted rather than greeted with another load if you do it in sections.

Tip 2.
Organise your make-up in to sections: Mascara, Foundation, Lip Products, Face Products, Eye Shadows.. so on..

Tip 3.
Make sure you have enough space around you to be able to have distinctive piles of what you want to keep, give away, store and bin.

Tip 4.
Have some sort of storage ready to be able to put your make up in, whether these are compartments from Muji like i use, bin bags to dispose of the make-up, or an old make-up bag to take round to your friends and family.

Tip 5
Be strict with yourself, you are clearing out for a reason, if your just going to dispose of one 5 year old mascara don't bother starting and causing yourself the mess. Set yourself targets of what your limits are, how much you really NEED and how USEFUL they actually are.

Let me know how you get on! See you next week!
