Everyone it' Rachel and welcome back to my channel so today
I'm going to be continuing with my minimalism series video and the next one I'm going to be showing you is
my make up desk obviously if you didn't get that really intro
Now I know a lot of people who are right into minimalism
Don't wear makeup a lot of the time
They just seem to keep it really simple
And you know powders of Mascara and not much else from what I've read on their blogs and all that sort of thing um
But I like to wear makeup
So I have to figure out how to store it and how to get rid of it when I have too much
Now recently I just did a little makeup
[Col] where I got rid of some of the things that were all some of things? I don't use anymore
I'll show you guys how I do that and then how I set up my story what I've been finding works best for me if
You enjoyed this video?
I'd love if you would subscribe to my channel and give it a little thumbs up it means so much
help get my channel out there and
Let's jump into it. So I got these trestle legs from Ikea, and then this is just a flat wooden table top
You can get the from hardware stores
I don't want to make any mess on it
So I'm just going to put down some paper towel before I start sorting my makeup all over the desk now
We're going to pull out
Everything um a lot of you guys will probably learn a lot more than I do
I try to keep everything a bit pared back if you're a makeup Junkie this videos probably not for you
This is about reducing your collection
So just go ahead and shock it everything onto the desk
Now I have these containers on my desk as well one for Bobby pins and the other one is just for cotton pads
so if I find any bobby pins, I'm just going to track them into that container as well, and
Now I'm going to pull out all my brushes and just pop them into a storage container that I got from ikea
The containers is just a couple of dollars
You need to make sure that [you've] got one that's tall enough for your brushes as well, otherwise you must squish them
Okay, now you can see I'm going through and sorting out what I want to keep and what I don't I had three Mascara store
Them were old and nearly empty, so I just got rid of those I do not want that crazy purple shimmery Powder anymore
So getting rid [of] that, and you're just going to go through and figure out will you wear things again?
What are you going to wear them with like what?
you know what makeup look you're going to put that in are you ever actually going to use it again and just
[go] through there and figure out what you really really need and what you don't
Now that little bag. I just keep all my utensils and tools in there like tweezers, and that sort of thing now
We're going to ask yourself is it usable so has the product gone off?
Do you feel attractive when you wear it and can you use it regularly if you bought something for a halloween costume
Once probably not a good idea to keep it. You don't need it now
This is what I managed to reduce my makeup collection down to and I'm just going to go through with some
Disinfectant and clean everything because for some reason my makeup always gets dirty
Is that just me or does that happen to everyone there seems to be stuff always all over the containers?
And look at that. That's my one lone nail polish. I have one nail Polish color. Oh
Yeah, I hate painting my nails
and
Now I have another one of these round containers
And I pop all my round things in there so like powders and bronzes that sort of thing
I always tried to put them in normal containers, and I was like hang on Rachael
They're round put them in a round container
I don't know why I didn't think this until a couple of weeks ago, but you know what we have it now
Feel free to steal that idea
And next up these two containers that I'm using they're also from ikea so you can get them in a bunch of different sizes I
Just really needed one tall one and one slim one and we're going to play Tetris
So you're going to start putting things in?
What you're not using as often put it down the bottom if you're using it pretty regularly make sure it's standing up or it's in
A reachable distance because otherwise you're just going to mess up the container all the time
I find it's really relaxing to do this as well like pull everything out and just re-organize it
Okay, next up. I'm just organizing everything on my desk so hair products that I use regularly
I'm just going to pop them on my desk
So there's a lot of toni & Guy themes there
so your hair spray dry Shampoo all that sort of thing then I've got my little plants and
The Candle Holders here, they're from freedom
The round mirror is from Kmart and the mirror. I'm putting up now is from Ikea and
That's it
It's all sorted the little bag with my tweezers and scissors and things that just it's under my desk, and we're Done I
know you're probably cringing about how much makeup I got rid of
The small size who managed to get it down to but just feels so much better. I
Thought it really helps to only keep things that make you feel
Attractive and positive it's really good about yourself. that was making Decor easier
You'll feel a lot better inside, and that will help you think better and just
it's refreshing just hold onto things that feel good for you to keep and
That's what I try to do all the time when I'm calling my possessions
It was so good to finally do that to my makeup. I haven't done that [in] [a] long time
Anyway, I hope you were able to get something out of this video
And thank you so much for watching I'll see you next time
