I'm convinced that moving is one of life's most exhausting and stress-inducing activities, especially when it's a cross-country move. It requires weeks of preparation, endless organization, and a lot of money spent on moving companies, boxes, and bubble wrap. Now that I'm on the other side of that experience, I'm sure of two things. First, you should always donate those old pairs of jeans you don't wear because they'll only collect dust in your new closet. Second, the only way to know which beauty products are truly your favorite is if you're forced to cut your collection in half. 

I'm a beauty editor, so my beauty product collection was big (read: massive). After two years of testing skincare, makeup, and hair products, I had over 500 products in drawers, cabinets, and boxes before I moved. Obviously, there was no way I'd use up all 500 before I moved. But I didn't want them to go to waste, so I embarked on an ambitious mission to donate every single beauty product I felt I could go without. And I did. When I was done, I was left with 37 core items. Ahead, see and shop them all.
