Any Beauty Blogger will tell you that she has a stash of makeup and potions that she plans to finish yet somehow the lure of the next new and shiny thing means, most of these babies don't get their due TLC.Yes we Beauty bloggers canb be bad mothers to our own lotion potions!
I had started my covert Project codenamed 'The Empties' in Jul'12 with the sole aim of emptying out all my half used bottles of lotion-potions.
I had underestimated the amount of semi used stuff I had hoarded and it took me full two months to actually make a dent in my stash of unused/semi used items. So after 2 full months of hard work-involving long showers, slathering on tons of body butter and spritzing a lot of perfume here's what the end result of my The Empties project Looks like!
Taa-daa-
So here's what all I actually finished

ReplyDeleteThanks Kej! Yup finishing up all this stuff was quite a challenge ;)
Deletephew !!! i can neva finish so mny products at a time !!
ReplyDeleteLol these were actually half used bottles that were just begging for some TLC,finally I decided that these just had to go out and make way for better/newer stuff :)
DeleteBravo! I am proud of you :P. I so agree that even though I am able to clean up some of the mess that I made my stocking on the skincare, the makeups are so hard to use up! With that sole aim, I am using the same lippies regularly!! :P
ReplyDeleteBy the end of this month, hope to get rid of some items.
But you really did a commendable job given these are only two months' empties!!
Btw, that's so nice of you to mention me! :D
Yay! So happy to chuck it all finally out! Declutterville here I come ;)
DeleteYes makeup is very hard to finish more so because every time I pick a new stuff I wud use it continuously use it for a week and then lose interest & it wud just sit around on my vanity.Im trying to finish my makeup and whatever I haven't used in past 1 month must go..
Btw thanks for egging me to finish the empties project :D

Whoa that is a lot of empties!! Good luck with ur make up!
ReplyDeleteI think I have a slightly different opinion here...specially regarding an empties project for make-up. It might tempt you to use more make-up than you need thus spoiling your skin in the long run - is that worth it?
