I'd like to bump this thread as this is my beauty goal for this year. Medyo nag-stray ako dito but to be fair, I'm no longer as impulsive as I was before when it comes to makeup. Medyo effective yung letting go of something before buying either by giving it away or selling it.

Edited to add:

And I don't check out holiday collections or whatever new collection a brand launches.

If I think I want something, I look for negative reviews or contemplate if I have something quite similar to it on my stash. If it doesn't work, I repeatedly look at swatches on blogs and if I get bored looking at it, I pass on it. Means I don't really want it.

Hindi na rin ako nagpapadala sa pag napanaginipan ko eh I must have it.

Buti na lang napadaan ako dito bago pa ako maadik ng tuluyan. I just started learning about makeup last november. Napilitan ko aralin since wala ako mabook na MUA for 2 december weddings. And that os the start. I hanced upon lots of makeup sales since then nd ang dami ko nabili. Altbough sale naman. Sayang pa din if hindi ko magamit lahat. There's these 2 maybelline items pa that I want to throw away because of paraben content. Planning to buy a traincase pa because of the clutter it is bringing to my vanity table. Maybe I should unfollow those ig sellers of makeups and traincases?

I'm stopping the hoarding na from now on. Unless may maubos na makeup. And will just concentrate on improving the skin within - derma ang gastusan. Hahaha!

So lucky with a husband who is very generous when it comes to my any luho.

Something new I'm doing na sobrang effective: I subscribed to active personal finance and investment blogs, tapos yun yung palagi kong binabasa (everyday). Na-pprevent ako magpunta sa mall para "magtingin" and na-pprevent ako magcheck out ng bagong launch na products. Para syang daily reminder.

[WickedWitchOfTheWest]

Lately behave na ako sa makeup purchases. I'm quite happy with what I have, after all I reach for more or less the same things everyday. I realized I can actually live with 5 shades of lipstick, 1 blush, 1 bronzer, 2 kinds of foundation, and 1 eyebrow product, 1 eye palette for special occasions and mascara. Skincare-wise, I have my staples na din. I've also quit trying whatever new technology comes along since my skin usually can't tolerate it anyways.

Finding what works and being content with that helps. Wag magpapadala sa mga claims and advertisements! Hahaha! Kahit na raves by bloggers and by the online community, there's a very good chance what works for others aren't going to work for you. Yun lang. Hehe.

[lyrahs]

Buti na lang din huminto na ako sa ka-adikan ko sa make-up, lalo ngayon na may financial goal talaga ako. Pag napapadaan ako sa mall at parang tinatawag ako ng mga make up store, iisipin ko lahat ng make up na meron pa ako at sasabihin ko sa sarili ko na dapat maubos ko lahat ng make up na meron ako.

Sa ngayon ang gamit ko lang primer, highlighter, concealer, eyebrow pencil, eyeliner, blush (minsan meron, madalas wala) at lipgloss

[Antigone]

Mga teh, sa sobrang minimalist, napanisan na ko ng mokap!

[moningapao]

bb cream, tinted lipbalm and mascara  almost na obsess ako sa make-up sa kakapanood ng make-up gurus sa youtube but in the long run, it's better to focus more on skincare products and routines.

[nixmusic]

I stick to a routine para hindi ko maisip na mag hoard. For skincare, I make sure that I only have one of each on my bathroom counter:
-facial wash
-facial scrub
-toner
-moisturizer and sunblock

My vanity has a little bit more stuff:
-2 tubes of BB cream
-2 pots of cream foundation
-1 concealer
-1 compact face powder
-1 compact eyebrow powder
-1 gel eyeliner
-3 lipsticks
-1 mineral powder blush
-1 eyelash curler
-1 tweezer
-1 travel brush set

I'm not a fan of eyeshadows so I don't have any. I promised myself not to buy anything new muna so kahit may bagong labas na products, hindi ko nata-try agad unless maubos yung ones I currently use.

Earlier I was tempted to buy some Too Faced and Tarte makeups. Luckily, I fought the urge to buy them as I just pre-ordered something. Then I decided to organize my makeup in such a way that I'll see everything I have which will remind me of how much or little I still have. While it's nice to look at lotsa makeup, it's impractical to have such a very huge anount of makeup.

Dati excited ako manood ng makeup collection videos and even wanted to have drawers and drawers of makeup. While hindi totoo yung shelf life na naka-indicate, if you have hundreds of makeup, chances are at least half of it eh mapapanis lang if you are not a mua or you don't do other people's makeup. I still watch collection videos but appreciate those who have "realistic" amount of makeup.

[iwannabeasupermodel]

ako dati mej makeup horder na everytime i go sa mall pag uwi may something ako. and i buy blushes and foundies like crazy (as in sa foundie minsan kakabili ko palang nung isa and i buy another kind of foundie kaagad).

now i just stick na lang sa ginagamit ko muna. they work for me and i'm pretty happy and contented with how they look like sa akin so ayun. i think i become more "mature" sa pagbili ng makeup starting the later part of last year. plus my i've learned valuable tips and tricks and improved my technique immensely kaya din siguro ganun. tsaka i live on two different places, so i only bring yung "essentials" ko sa condo and leave all others (to rot lol) dito sa bahay ko talaga. nacocontrol ko na sarili ko and i can talk myself out of it kahit na may sale man.

now i only use 2 bb creams na i alternate, one blush, one setting powder, a highlighter, a mascara (but on times i want to put mascara), eyeliner (if i want and added "omp") and yung lip gloss/balm that i use.

[pocahontas]

up ko lang to mga sis. how's your journey to beauty minimalism? I'm having a hard time sticking to my plan. lalo na pag may sale sa  watson at sa avon
