I Just Cleared Out My Entire Beauty Collection—Here's What I Kept

There are significant perks to being a beauty editor. Getting to play with makeup all day is one; being privy to some of the most well-kept industry secrets is another. The most obvious, however, is the fact that we are constantly surrounded by Wholesale Replica Bag products. Whether it’s Wholesale Replica Bag serum or mascara, you better believe we’ve tried every last thing that we recommend. And it truly is a wonderful thing.

Over the last few months, however, we beauty editors have found ourselves in a bit of a conundrum. You see, part of our job is receiving numerous parcels a day, each containing Wholesale Replica Bag products so that we can test and review them for ourselves. And while this can be easily managed in an office environment where storage and recycling bins are aplenty, since working from home, the situation has got a little bit out of control.

Gone are the days of leaving products at the office and going home to a nicely edited lineup. We now live among our work. And while I am by no means complaining about the fact I am lucky enough to be in this situation in the first place, it does mean that my cupboards are bulging, leaving no room for any sort of order to my beauty routine at all. So after weeks of knocking over bottles like dominos every time I reach for a cleanser, this week, I finally decided that enough is enough and declared it time for a clear-out.

It’s worth knowing, by the way, that I am a total hoarder, especially when it comes to beauty products. I really struggle to let go of anything I like, even if I only tried it once and thought it was quite nice. Therefore, ever since doing this job, I have had a very strict rule: For every addition I make to my cupboards at home, something else must come out (and more often than not get donated to a friend).
