Green Simplicity: 2015

Wishlist

Next upon your journey you must take on your mounds and mounds of makeup! This is a category many tend to splurge and hoard on! The more choices means the more options we have, right? Well actually! How often do you touch the sky blue eyeliner or the disco sparkled eyeshadow? Probably maybe once or twice a year. Although many of your cosmetic items are sealed, they actually do have an expiration date!

Here's a nifty little chart to instantly pick out which makeup items you should toss at this moment!

You can find more information about this: Here

Congratulations! Hopefully some of that helped you cut down on some expired makeup that maybe you haven't touched in a while!

Now! Just like the other areas of your life, just run through these simple steps to cut down a bit more in your cosmetic life!

Step 1: Take out ALL makeup and lay in front of you.

Step 2: Throw away any cracked/broken makeup (expired should already be tossed!).

Step 3: Get rid of any makeup you don't normally touch or have found a replacement for.

Step 4: If any remaining makeup if left over that you are unsure about, run through these simple questions to determine if you should keep it!

And there you are! If you still find yourself with more makeup than you could ever use, run through the steps again!

Final Test

(The travel challenge)

Still confused on your essentials? Well here we go! Grab a bag! Got one? Say you are going on a week vacation! Grab the makeup items you'd normally use on a daily basis during your vacation!

Got the items?

Now look at what is not in the bag! These items you seem to not find to the upmost importance, so why have them?

Hopefully some of this helped cut your little guilty pleasure down a little bit! Now just to cut back on those trips to Ulta and Sephora..but we'll save that for another time!
