Shall we get nostalgic for a minute over here? Yup, that’s right, I am finally sharing my makeup memories box with you. My what?! My makeup memories box. This is a small drawer in which I keep makeup that I no longer use (because: expired!) but that I still love for various reasons. Either because it is my oldest eyeshadow which I have owned since highschool, or because it reminds me of a trip. But mostly? This just has pretty packaging. Let’s drool over some old makeup you can no longer get (not that you would want to in some cases…).
What a great idea! I have a Kat von D lipstick I got from my first (and only, so far!) visit to NYC in 2013. It’s now expired and there’s a little left to show what colour it was but I can’t get rid of it – I was so excited to get it and it holds fantastic memories of a wonderful holiday with my sister. I’m going to find myself a small(ish) box and do this, thanks for the idea!
Def keep it somewhere. It’s fun to look back on after a few years.
I used to save everything, but I finally broke that habit. Also since we’re moving I have enough makeup that I need to take with me anyhow. BUT! I’m saving the Sugarpill Little Twin Stars liquid lipsticks that I will never use again because of the adorable packaging and because my friend Carlie and I did a colab photo shoot as Kiki and Lala!
I definitely don’t have room to save everything I try. And yes I first did a major declutter when I moved. Now I just make sure I don’t have to buy new storage because that would be truly silly.
I’m still buying even though I’m moving, how silly is that!? LOL.
