i dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the account password. I love any assistance you can give me.
Edit to add: I don't think your numbers are excessive, and I appreciate you discussing this. Here's mine: 1x Primer (Charlotte Tilbury), 2x foundations (Nars, Maybelline), 2x concealers (Benefit, BareMinerals), 1x eyeshadow primer (MAC), 1x bronzer (Benefit), 2x blush (Clinique, Benefit), 1x setting spray (MAC), 1x loose powder (Laura Mercier), 2x mascaras (Loreal, Benefit), 2x eyeliners (Eye of Horus), 1x brow pomade, 1x pencil (both benefit), 1x highlighter (becca), 1x gloss (Fenty). I play with colour on my eyes and lips: 15 lipsticks and 9 eyeshadow palettes. I'm really fortunate to have found items that really work for me in most categories and don't change up my base very much
I havent counted all my makeup, but know for sure the numbers are going down. Every few months i seem to go through and declutter. Ive finally realized which products i use the most and have lost interest in buying so much makeup. Your earrings look very pretty!!
I just did my half-yearly inventory check last week- i started with 180 products and now I’m down to 158!! I’m hoping to get this number down to 131 by the year-end (but the whole COVID-19 situation is proving to be quite a hurdle in wearing makeup everyday 😕). Also, I’ve been watching (and keeping track) of your makeup inventory ever since you started putting it up. This year, I FINALLY decided to keep an inventory for my collection along with a proper Project Pan. It’s made me value the items in my collection so much more and helped me understand what my makeup aesthetic truly is. So, thank you for inspiring me (and many others like me) to do this!! 💜
For inventory, I can recommend the app „Snupps“. I first downloaded it so I don‘t buy double ups of nailpolish but now I actually made a folder for almost every product category and also empties, products I have given away etc, so I know what to repurchase and what not.
When I started my makeup no-buy in January my inventory was at just over $2300 total. Between selling a few new-in-box palettes, decluttering and using up about a dozen products, It now totals $1450. It's crazy how quickly these things can add up and I'm looking forward to having a better curated vanity by the end of the year.
This video made me want to take inventory of my collection and I'm embarrassed. I have 21 eyeshadow palettes,17 single shadows, 6 foundations, 4 concealers, 7 powders, 34 (lip stick, liquid lip) lips, 11 lip gloss, 13 bronzers, 2 blushes, 6 highlighters, 8 eyeliners and 3 mascaras. I think a person needs just one of each, with the exception of eyeshadow palettes.
Aww, don't feel bad! Just start panning and use up what you don't care for much (or vice versa, most loved items). I'm at 3 powders, but the regular one I had been using couldn't be found at the store, so I am using 2 powders I dislike but that also work well together.
Maybe cut yourself some slack on face products! Different shades, finishes, coverage levels, etc. all have their purpose. You know your own routine best 🙂
If my collection can get down to your collection inventory numbers, I would love that. I have some places where I'm reasonable (4 concealers) and then 40 blushes lol but I love them all so I just need to stop finding more blushes that I love
I've been tracking my makeup inventory with an Excel spreadsheet for about 8 years now. I need to update it today. I usually update it whenever I add a new product or use one up, but I haven't updated it since I gave a few products away to a friend last week.
I never thought to do a makeup inventory and starting my channel I would love to use up and make the most of my collection! I’m definitely going to do one and make a video! Thank you!
Love this video and it inspired me to do inventory on my collection! My collection looks like this: 3 foundations, 2 concealers, 4 setting sprays, 6 primers, 2 setting powders, 3 bronzers, 4 blushes, 10 highlighters, 18 eyeshadow palettes, 4 beauty blenders, 18 liquid lips, 6 glosses, 4 eye glitters, 5 eyeliners, and 4 brow products. I'm a bit excessive with eyeshadow palettes and am terrible at throwing out liquid lips lol
Don’t get discouraged by the numbers, Kel! Your awareness of how much your collection is ebbing and flowing is a huge step. And truthfully, right now makeup isn’t something we’re all using at the same rates necessarily. Keep going, keep growing.
Your collection is simple and easy to work with. My collection is crazy and out of control. I bring in new makeup monthly and still feel the need to have more, yikes
Lovin’ the braid! Your hair always looks so good! I haven’t been wearing makeup much these days and now I’m sitting here thinking about the products expiring 😣
Here is my inventory: 1 tinted spf for everyday use, 1 concealer (that doubles as foundation when I need more coverage), 1 pressed face powder, 1 blush, 1 black mascara, 3 eyeshadow palletes (20 shadows in total), 3 bullet lipsticks (pinky nude, blue based true red, and a berry/wine color) and 3 glosses (peachy nude, mauvy nude, and hot pink). Even with that paired down "collection" I think I can reduce my eyeshadows because I currently have some duplicates across the 3 palletes I own. When my palletes are panned I will purchase 8 or 10 singles and make my own perfectly personalized pallete. That is truly all I need to keep a balance between my actual lifestyle and my love of makeup.
Hears 27 eyeshadow palettes is a bit out of control... Looks over at my own collection... Whoops. Good for you for being able to curate your collection. My biggest problem, I like everything and wear it too. Every time I try to do a declutter, I can't. I pay for my things and because of that, I know I truly enjoy them. I love watching your channel so much and always learn tons! ♥️ There are definitely so many places in my life that need an inventory done. I need to first make a list of everything, prioritize it and get to work!
If you love them and you use them, then you don't need to declutter! I think people make that mistake and then have regrets. Decluttering is good for your mental space, if your things are making you anxious or giving you decision fatigue, or are expired or unloved... If they make you happy, then that's the best thing 💞 (You can also organize things differently and feel better in that way!) -A declutter lover
I loooooved this... and I wanna do it. haha. I'm a declutter-er by nature, and I'm always sitting in my bathroom with my collection weeding things out, but I've only recently started thinking about conscious numbers for it. Thanks for the inspo, and pfft toooootally count those single shadows as a 3! :D
Also: are you using an app to keep track of your makeup inventory, like Snupps? A fellow UA-cam commenter mentioned it once and it's changed my makeup practices a ton just having the whole inventory on my phone.
Here's my inventory: 74 single eyeshadows, 18 lip products (7 bullet lipsticks, 2 lip glosses, 9 lipliners), 44 brushes and 12 items in the "anything else category", which mostly contains magnetic palettes and eyeshadows I use exclusively as face products and few eyeliners and one concealer.
YES to eyeshadows as face products!! 🙌 My favorite blush right now is a Sydney Grace single eyeshadow and I love it. 💜 I would like to find shadows I can use as bronzer and contour as well. I'm on the hunt!
@@BelleStreetBoyz I'm very fair (cool-toned) and I use a brow powder for my contour 😅 (Taylor Wynn's trick!) I also hear Nyx eyeshadow in so taupe is great for pale girl contour. I don't know any for other skin tones, though! 😬
This is a great idea! My collection is somewhat small since I'm a bit of a newbie with more fun products (used to just be a concealer and eyeliner girl), so this idea might not apply to everyone, but I think it would be interesting to take inventory of my eyeshadow shades and see how many warm browns, peachy pinks, shimmery purples, etc. I have so I can be more aware of what I'd actually need from a new palette before I purchase one.
386 not counting single shadows in individual containers. I have 95 eyeshadow palettes. Not decluttering any time soon. Not on YT. I just love playing in makeup.
I have 82 items and right on track for this year! I want to have 75 or less by January. I’ve actually only brought in 5 new things this year and I’ve decluttered a lot that I never use. I used to think a huge amount of makeup was what I wanted but I’d rather have just a few things that I love and know will look good no matter what
This is a fun activity! I haven’t counted but I know I have over 20 eyeshadow palettes (10 that are not beyond the expiration/opened date), over 20 eyeshadow singles, over 50 lip products (25 that are in rotation). I don’t have much of other products. These are my favorite to buy! I’m not a beauty guru on you tube but I own so much because of you tube
Maybe try joining the pan those eyeshadow project (or another version where you constantly have one shadow in your project pan). That way you can get clear use out of pallets and maybe feel less bad about owning more. Also, it will clearly show the time it takes to use eyeshadows
I think your makeup is under control I’m not on UA-cam and I have 37 eyeshadow palettes and I’ll stop there 😂 Am on a no buy right now other than sponges ( not buying beauty blenders but I do find I go through the cheaper ones faster)
Hi, I really like this video and think it's a very good idea to keep track of what I have and reminding me to use them. I try to go through my products especially my lipsticks and blushes by using a different one each day. It helps that they are similar colours, although I do have my holy grail items which i tend to use more than others. Here are mine after a recent declutter, 151 in all. I like colours so lipsticks, blushes, eyeshadows, eyeliners are what I have the most of. - 28 lipsticks, 6 lip gloss, 11 lip tints, 1 lip liner - 7 single powder eyeshadow, 9 cream eyeshadow, 17 quads, 4 large palettes, 1 eye base - 14 blushes, 3 bronzers, 8 highlighters - 3 liquid foundation, 2 powder foundation, 1 concealer, 4 face powders - 2 eyebrow pencil, 16 eyeliner pencil, 5 liquid liner, 4 gel liner - 5 skin base
Here is my inventory. I expected myself to have more, honestly, because my collection does feel overwhelming-- 0 Primers 3 foundations (Missha in two shades; Covergirl) 5 concealers (Elf, 2x Colourpop, Catrice, Maybelline) 2 eyeshadow primers (Wet'n'wild; NYX glitter primer) 1 bronzer (NYX in a trio) 3 contour poweders (Essence duo; Missha) 8 blush (four Nars blushes in a palette; 2x MAC blushes, Colourpop, Milani) 1 setting spray (Flower) 4 face powders (Essence, Maybelline, ELF, powder from a NYX trio) 4 mascaras (one open/one backup of L'oreal; Essence; one backup from ELF) 13 eyeliners (Brown pencil - 3; Black pencil - 2; Black liquid - 2; Colorful pencil - 3; Gel - 3) 1 brow pencil (Maybelline) 3 highlighters (highlighter from NYX trio; Colourpop, Juvia's place) 18 eyeshadow palettes (6x Juvia's, 2x Midas, 2x Colourpop, 1x Elf, 1x Lime Crime, 1x Menagerie, 1x ABH, 1x TF, 1x CColor, 1x ELF, 1x Sigma) 3 eyeshadow quads (Midas, Maybelline, Wet n wild) 14 cream eyeshadows - liquid/jelly/super shock/stick (10x Colourpop; Essence, Sydney Grace, Catrice, Wetnwild) 186? single eyeshadows - I couldn't even begin to count these right now. I had 194 when I counted in April, then I gave 8 away to a friend and I don't think I bought more. 11 lip gloss 14 lipsticks - as a caveat, I always miss tracking down a few lip products Clearly, eyeshadow is my problem area. Over the last few months I have come to terms with the fact that I have hooded eyes and that eyeshadow is more exciting for me in the pan than when I actually wear it. I'm on a two month no buy right now, and screenshotting all of the palettes I want and putting them in a collage has been really helpful for weeding out ones that are just meh. I still have 7 on my wishlist, but they can wait. My concealers, eyeliners, lip glosses and lipsticks could use some whittling down for sure. Last summer I went on a mission trying to find a new concealer and the perfect shade of lipgloss to replace a discontinued one, and the categories exploded result.
I own about the same number of items and feel like it‘s getting really out of hand - as I feel overwhelmed so often, I try not to purchase too much... Doing an inventory really helped to open my eyes in regards to which categories are too much for my personal taste though. I enjoyed your video a lot 🙂
Woop woop! I think you are doing great considering the fact that you are a beauty youtuber. Also, living for today's eyelook! 😍 I just did my second. 63 items (every shadow in my palettes are counted as singles). Was at 75 3 months ago. This panning thing is soooo addictive. 😝🥰
I use the Snupps app to inventory my nail polishes. I kept purchasing the same nail polish because I didn’t know I already had it. When I’m at the store now I can check my Snupps app before I purchase any new nail polishes. I’m getting ready to use it to inventory my eye shadow palettes. Check it out no note pads needed. 😊
My inventory is why I started my project pan back in March. I don’t have all the categories that you do or the same numbers of products in the categories I do have, but I have too many unused liquid lipsticks to keep them all and not start using them. I only have one brow product, one mascara, one foundation one concealor and one powder & will never go above that unless I start making my own YT videos. I have used up one eyeshadow palette as much as I wanted to & decluttered another just because it wasn’t making me happy to have it in my collection. I have also used up one bullet lipstick & working on another along with all of my liquid lipsticks which I believe stand at 4; 3 of which are full sizes and 1 is a mini. I have one lip tint & one gloss. I have one individual blush plus one 6 pan palette and 9 eyeshadow palettes left to get through. As long as the eyeshadows don’t go bad in the next couple of years, I’m ok with slowly working on them until I can get a couple more moved out of my collection before buying more. (Although I’m still eyeing the new Naked UV palette. Pray for me that I stay strong and don’t buy it until I’m done with at least one more palette in my current collection! 😂)
This number sounded WILD but I honestly have no idea how many products I have!! I post similar videos and have had people asking me for a makeup inventory... and I'm just putting it off bc i DON'T WANT TO KNOW haha
I like how you broke this down! I do something similar, but not as in depth. Each month I check in and see how many items I added into my collection vs how many items left my collection so that I can see whether my collection is growing or shrinking.
Love this as a way to understand what you have and use. Can apply to other areas of life too. (Edit: Haha - you mentioned this after I commented at the end of the video.) Love what a transparent and down to earth you tuber you are. Xo
I calculate mine by adding every single pan/product. If it’s an eyeshadow or face palette I add each individual pan. My inventory currently is 163 (that’s as I said each individual eyeshadow pan and I have 79!). I am trying to get my collection smaller and smaller.
I haven't been brave enough to count my products. I know my lip collection is out of control. Everything else is okayish, although I probably don't need as many colorful eyeliners as I have. I'm trying not to bring in a lot of new stuff, but I've been stress shopping, plus my birthday's coming up. I'll try to put the breaks on after that. Hopefully Ulta won't tempt me too much with the fall sale.
I just inventoried my makeup this past weekend. I put my ideal numbers and my actual numbers. I hope it will help me not buy it I don't have space for it in my ideal number!
i do my own skincare and makeup inventory (i don't buy a lot of makeup so it barely every moves but i'm constantly in the skincare one haha iy's super organized in my notes app)
I’ve been doing a quarterly inventory this year and most categories are pretty steady except palettes and lips...I had 8 palettes at the beginning of the year, 10 for Q2, and now 17 😬 I put myself on a no buy until December!
I'm giving up on ever using up my It Cosmetics brow pencil. I like it, but I am not someone who can use a brow pencil for six months without using it up. Six. That includes at least one month of using it every single day.
Instead of keeping a specific number, I have two plastic organizers I kept my makeup in and i.am not allowing myself more makeup than can fit in those.
Inventory Check! Total 139 Long-term Goal: 100 Goal for 2020: 130 Face 10 (3 Primers, 3 Foundations, 1 Powder, 3 Sprays) Cheek 22 (2 Bronzers, 9 Highlights, 9 Blushes, 2 Palettes) Eyes 21 (6 Liners, 3 Mascaras, 1 Brow Gel, 1 Primer, 10 Glitters/Pigments/Etc.) Palettes 27 and SAME I really like them all even though this is more than I'd like Lip 59 (8 Liners, 6 Crayons, 17 Glosses, 7 Liquid Lips, 21 Bullets) This is also my guilty category because I am bad at panning lip products, but I haven't purchased any since 2019.
I absolutely love this eye look! Could you do a tutorial with this or share different palettes with which to create this look? (As you used single shades)
I did my own makeup inventory a couple months back bc of you. It made me go on a low buy. I've been doing good but the number is so high... especially knowing im not even a youtuber. Lol. Ive been doing really good with my makeup n enjoying my stash. Not going to lie. This pandemic helped me not buy makeup since march. Finally bought 1 brown eyeliner. Lol
Been waiting for this!! My latest update: 30 products. My new goal is 12-24 for a minimal makeup kit consisting of 5-7 eyeshadow pans/sticks, 1-3 eyeliner pencils, 1 mascara, 1 eyebrow product, 2-4 concealer and foundations, 1-3 blush and bronzers, 0-1 highlighters, 1 powder, and 1-3 lip products. Maybe by end of year?
I should do this too however I'm afraid to because I know I own entirely too much of everything that 1 person can never use in 5 lifetime's and that's embarrassing how much product/money waste I have 😱
I actually just did my mid year inventory as well! I didn’t count palettes because that’s a mess of single shadows and I don’t know how to include them 😅 but I had 97 actual items, again excluding palettes :) this is all my foundations, concealers, cheek products, brow products, puppies ext. it also includes backups of any of those categories. pretty happy with my number and I tend to want to stay under 100. My biggest accomplishment is going from 24 base products (primer, foundation, color correction, powder, concealer) to 10!
I thought about starting an inventory list but I already know I have more than I need. Still, I really like this idea. I'm curious what other influencers have and if they keep track of what they have..
Here's my inventory: 1 primer, 1 BB cream, 1 concealer, 1 cream blush, 1 setting powder, 1 bronzer and highlight duo, 1 mascara, 2 eyebrow pencils, 3 eyebrow shadows, 1 eyebrow gel, 2 eyeshadow palettes (one is 9 bright colours and the other one is more neutral), 2 bullet lipsticks (they're basically the same colour cause one is a dupe of the other one) and 2 liquid lipsticks. Most of these items are drugstore and kinda old, cause even buying drugstore makeup would be a huge chunk out of my budget. Btw, love your project pan videos 😊
I just did my inventory and I'm not too mad at my numbers (though I did escalate with blush lol). My main focus is using up body lotions because people always gift them to me.😂
I ordered one lipstick n my first ever blush 😆 Now slightly regretting being impulsive over lipstick coz I've more than enough! But right now, I'm kinda loving Rosey brown-mauve tones and made the purchase! I've taken inspiration from u n been working consistently on skincare (finished 2 moisturizers, almost done on the 3rd). Will take inventory of my makeup items n start doing the same ❤️
You look beautiful😍 So you’ve got 14 blushers! You finished one🤭. You notice it is july already, that means you will finish two in a year😅 And girl, 27 eyeshadow palettes! That means you can use them max two weeks or actually less in a year😉 No judgement #nohate I’d love to see more declutters! My collection: Five eye shadow palettes One face palette One highlighter Three powders Three lipsticks Two glosses A lot of kajals (7?) i always put them in my handbags😇 One concealer Too many brushes ( over twenty😱)
since the beginning of pandemic I didn’t buy anything but also I didn’t use up anything 😩 I know that I’m working from home, I have Mask in public places etc so it’s normal but still I feel in a weird limbo, everything is older and older and I can’t do nothing about it 😩
I’m just waiting for my last birthday order then I get to see the number lol I went I bit overboard for my birthday this year so I’m a bit scared to see my mid year numbers
My inventory: 2 foundations 1 primer 1 concealer 2 bronzers 1 highlighter 1 eye pencil 2 mascaras 1 lash primer 2 eyeshadow palletes (22 eyeshadows) 1 powder 2 brow pencils 3 brow gel/ mascaras 1 brow pomade 6 lip products excluding colored chopsticks 2 setting sprays I am happy with my makeup collection. What is out of control is my skin care. Even today I received my order: tatcha cream. Help!
Here’s my inventory, I’m not a UA-camr or influencer so this might be crazy 47 eyeshadow palettes 36 blushes 15 brow pencils 23 eyeliners 15 single eyeshadow 1 lash glue 7 false lashes 16 mascara (only one open) 9 bronzers 13 primers (most are samples) Bullet lipsticks 12 Liquid lipsticks 15 (8 are the same brand Lip glosses 7 Face palettes 7 Setting sprays 6 Lip balms 8 Face Powder 10 Highlighter 18 Total =265 items I have been buying less and I have mostly stopped buying non cruelty free items, I’d like to eventually stop buying them at all, but I love some of my maybelline and wet n wild and physicians Formula butter bronzer and blushes
I want to get more use out of my non cruelty free items because I don’t want to waste my money I spent but I know I’m not going to purchase anything that’s not cruelty free so is that justified? Is there a cruelty free dupe for physicians Formula butter bronzer and blush and maybelline lipsticks and highlighter and city bronzer oh and the wet n wild highlighters for around the same price? I love those things but if I could find a cruelty free option I’d be willing to not purchase them
i think if i were to do an inventory, it wouldn’t be good lol. i know i have too much product, and i stopped buying at the beginning of the year, but that’s like opening pandora’s box 😂😂
The look with the fish tail braid and curled piece in front is so cute!
Thank you!
Was thinking the same thing! 😍
Very frozen

I never watched videos like this and I'm so glad you did it!! Specially you, because I think you're collection is so controled. Loved it Kelly!!
Thank you, Raquel!

That's awesome! I'll have to check that out! I've kept a manual inventory of empties and products, but electronic has so many perks 🤔
I keep staring at your braid; it’s so pretty!

This video made me want to take inventory of my collection and I'm embarrassed. I have 21 eyeshadow palettes,17 single shadows, 6 foundations, 4 concealers, 7 powders, 34 (lip stick, liquid lip) lips, 11 lip gloss, 13 bronzers, 2 blushes, 6 highlighters, 8 eyeliners and 3 mascaras. I think a person needs just one of each, with the exception of eyeshadow palettes.
Aww, don't feel bad! Just start panning and use up what you don't care for much (or vice versa, most loved items). I'm at 3 powders, but the regular one I had been using couldn't be found at the store, so I am using 2 powders I dislike but that also work well together.

I haven’t been wearing makeup much these days and now I’m sitting here thinking about the products expiring 😣
Here is my inventory: 1 tinted spf for everyday use, 1 concealer (that doubles as foundation when I need more coverage), 1 pressed face powder, 1 blush, 1 black mascara, 3 eyeshadow palletes (20 shadows in total), 3 bullet lipsticks (pinky nude, blue based true red, and a berry/wine color) and 3 glosses (peachy nude, mauvy nude, and hot pink).

I'm a declutter-er by nature, and I'm always sitting in my bathroom with my collection weeding things out, but I've only recently started thinking about conscious numbers for it. Thanks for the inspo, and pfft toooootally count those single shadows as a 3! :D
Also: are you using an app to keep track of your makeup inventory, like Snupps? A fellow UA-cam commenter mentioned it once and it's changed my makeup practices a ton just having the whole inventory on my phone.
Here's my inventory:
74 single eyeshadows, 18 lip products (7 bullet lipsticks, 2 lip glosses, 9 lipliners), 44 brushes and 12 items in the "anything else category", which mostly contains magnetic palettes and eyeshadows I use exclusively as face products and few eyeliners and one concealer.
I'm scared to count my eyeshadow palettes! I probably have 74 or more!😳
YES to eyeshadows as face products!! 🙌 My favorite blush right now is a Sydney Grace single eyeshadow and I love it. 💜 I would like to find shadows I can use as bronzer and contour as well. I'm on the hunt!
Brush to everything else ratio is relatable af to me 🤣❤️ love me some brushes
@@BelleStreetBoyz I'm very fair (cool-toned) and I use a brow powder for my contour 😅 (Taylor Wynn's trick!) I also hear Nyx eyeshadow in so taupe is great for pale girl contour. I don't know any for other skin tones, though! 😬
I support the idea of including the powder in the project pan and maybe a lipstick (for a challenge)
This is a great idea! My collection is somewhat small since I'm a bit of a newbie with more fun products (used to just be a concealer and eyeliner girl), so this idea might not apply to everyone, but I think it would be interesting to take inventory of my eyeshadow shades and see how many warm browns, peachy pinks, shimmery purples, etc. I have so I can be more aware of what I'd actually need from a new palette before I purchase one.
i love your whole aesthetic today!! the hair, makeup, earrings, i LOVE
I am on 149 Items, from 173 in the End of December. I Think thats okay. :-) Thank you for sharing.
What a great dent! (Also depends on your goals, but I love seeing product be used and loved.)
386 not counting single shadows in individual containers. I have 95 eyeshadow palettes. Not decluttering any time soon. Not on YT. I just love playing in makeup.
I love the Bite Beauty change maker powder!!
I have 82 items and right on track for this year! I want to have 75 or less by January. I’ve actually only brought in 5 new things this year and I’ve decluttered a lot that I never use. I used to think a huge amount of makeup was what I wanted but I’d rather have just a few things that I love and know will look good no matter what
This is a fun activity! I haven’t counted but I know I have over 20 eyeshadow palettes (10 that are not beyond the expiration/opened date), over 20 eyeshadow singles, over 50 lip products (25 that are in rotation). I don’t have much of other products. These are my favorite to buy! I’m not a beauty guru on you tube but I own so much because of you tube
Love your hair. Eyeshadow palettes is my high number. I had 46 now down to 34 after decluttered. I'm going to declutter a few more.
You look amazing! Love your hair🤗
Ahhh I needed this reality check! Time to use my products at home 🤔
That braid is so awesome! I have super short hair and have seriously considered a wig I miss hair lol.
Maybe try joining the pan those eyeshadow project (or another version where you constantly have one shadow in your project pan). That way you can get clear use out of pallets and maybe feel less bad about owning more. Also, it will clearly show the time it takes to use eyeshadows
I think your makeup is under control
I’m not on UA-cam and I have 37 eyeshadow palettes and I’ll stop there 😂
Am on a no buy right now other than sponges ( not buying beauty blenders but I do find I go through the cheaper ones faster)
I hear the AOA sponges are great, and cheap!
Hi, I really like this video and think it's a very good idea to keep track of what I have and reminding me to use them. I try to go through my products especially my lipsticks and blushes by using a different one each day. It helps that they are similar colours, although I do have my holy grail items which i tend to use more than others. Here are mine after a recent declutter, 151 in all. I like colours so lipsticks, blushes, eyeshadows, eyeliners are what I have the most of.
- 28 lipsticks, 6 lip gloss, 11 lip tints, 1 lip liner
- 7 single powder eyeshadow, 9 cream eyeshadow, 17 quads, 4 large palettes, 1 eye base
- 14 blushes, 3 bronzers, 8 highlighters
- 3 liquid foundation, 2 powder foundation, 1 concealer, 4 face powders
- 2 eyebrow pencil, 16 eyeliner pencil, 5 liquid liner, 4 gel liner
- 5 skin base
Here is my inventory. I expected myself to have more, honestly, because my collection does feel overwhelming--
0 Primers
3 foundations (Missha in two shades; Covergirl)
5 concealers (Elf, 2x Colourpop, Catrice, Maybelline)
2 eyeshadow primers (Wet'n'wild; NYX glitter primer)
1 bronzer (NYX in a trio)
3 contour poweders (Essence duo; Missha)
8 blush (four Nars blushes in a palette; 2x MAC blushes, Colourpop, Milani)
1 setting spray (Flower)
4 face powders (Essence, Maybelline, ELF, powder from a NYX trio)
4 mascaras (one open/one backup of L'oreal; Essence; one backup from ELF)
13 eyeliners (Brown pencil - 3; Black pencil - 2; Black liquid - 2; Colorful pencil - 3; Gel - 3)
1 brow pencil (Maybelline)
3 highlighters (highlighter from NYX trio; Colourpop, Juvia's place)
18 eyeshadow palettes (6x Juvia's, 2x Midas, 2x Colourpop, 1x Elf, 1x Lime Crime, 1x Menagerie, 1x ABH, 1x TF, 1x CColor, 1x ELF, 1x Sigma)
3 eyeshadow quads (Midas, Maybelline, Wet n wild)
14 cream eyeshadows - liquid/jelly/super shock/stick (10x Colourpop; Essence, Sydney Grace, Catrice, Wetnwild)
186? single eyeshadows - I couldn't even begin to count these right now. I had 194 when I counted in April, then I gave 8 away to a friend and I don't think I bought more.
11 lip gloss
14 lipsticks - as a caveat, I always miss tracking down a few lip products
Clearly, eyeshadow is my problem area. Over the last few months I have come to terms with the fact that I have hooded eyes and that eyeshadow is more exciting for me in the pan than when I actually wear it. I'm on a two month no buy right now, and screenshotting all of the palettes I want and putting them in a collage has been really helpful for weeding out ones that are just meh. I still have 7 on my wishlist, but they can wait. My concealers, eyeliners, lip glosses and lipsticks could use some whittling down for sure. Last summer I went on a mission trying to find a new concealer and the perfect shade of lipgloss to replace a discontinued one, and the categories exploded result.
I own about the same number of items and feel like it‘s getting really out of hand - as I feel overwhelmed so often, I try not to purchase too much... Doing an inventory really helped to open my eyes in regards to which categories are too much for my personal taste though. I enjoyed your video a lot 🙂
You reminded me I need an update too 😬😅
😍😍 Kelly's new video?? Clicked away so fast ❤️ Kelly+Makeup Collection/Inventory is super fun 🤗🤗
Woop woop! I think you are doing great considering the fact that you are a beauty youtuber.
Also, living for today's eyelook! 😍
I just did my second. 63 items (every shadow in my palettes are counted as singles). Was at 75 3 months ago. This panning thing is soooo addictive. 😝🥰
I use the Snupps app to inventory my nail polishes. I kept purchasing the same nail polish because I didn’t know I already had it. When I’m at the store now I can check my Snupps app before I purchase any new nail polishes. I’m getting ready to use it to inventory my eye shadow palettes. Check it out no note pads needed. 😊
Thanks for sharing! I’d never heard of this app!
My inventory is why I started my project pan back in March. I don’t have all the categories that you do or the same numbers of products in the categories I do have, but I have too many unused liquid lipsticks to keep them all and not start using them. I only have one brow product, one mascara, one foundation one concealor and one powder & will never go above that unless I start making my own YT videos. I have used up one eyeshadow palette as much as I wanted to & decluttered another just because it wasn’t making me happy to have it in my collection. I have also used up one bullet lipstick & working on another along with all of my liquid lipsticks which I believe stand at 4; 3 of which are full sizes and 1 is a mini. I have one lip tint & one gloss. I have one individual blush plus one 6 pan palette and 9 eyeshadow palettes left to get through. As long as the eyeshadows don’t go bad in the next couple of years, I’m ok with slowly working on them until I can get a couple more moved out of my collection before buying more. (Although I’m still eyeing the new Naked UV palette. Pray for me that I stay strong and don’t buy it until I’m done with at least one more palette in my current collection! 😂)
I'm so embarrased for my makeup inventory.. I decided to make a no buy until July 2021.
Actually my inventory makeup :
- primer : 6
- foundation : 5
- concealer : 3
- powder : 6 + 1 mini
- bronzeur mono : 4
- blush mono : 9 ( one cream)
- highliter mono : 6 + 1 liquid
- face palette : 6 = 25 individuals
- blush in eyeshadows palette : 2
- highliter in eyeshadows palette : 6
- setting spray : 3
- lipsticks liquid : 21
- lipsticks traditionnal : 10
- gloss : 3
- mascara : 4 + 1 mini
- eye pencil : 4
- eyeliner : 2
- eyebrows : 4 powders and 2 wax
- eye primer : 4
- eyeshadows individual : 31
- eyeshadows creamy : 1
- eyeshadows palette : 70 ( 1032 individual)
This number sounded WILD but I honestly have no idea how many products I have!! I post similar videos and have had people asking me for a makeup inventory... and I'm just putting it off bc i DON'T WANT TO KNOW haha
I like how you broke this down!
I do something similar, but not as in depth. Each month I check in and see how many items I added into my collection vs how many items left my collection so that I can see whether my collection is growing or shrinking.
Love this as a way to understand what you have and use. Can apply to other areas of life too. (Edit: Haha - you mentioned this after I commented at the end of the video.) Love what a transparent and down to earth you tuber you are. Xo
Love your hair style today! It looks super pretty!
I calculate mine by adding every single pan/product. If it’s an eyeshadow or face palette I add each individual pan. My inventory currently is 163 (that’s as I said each individual eyeshadow pan and I have 79!). I am trying to get my collection smaller and smaller.
I haven't been brave enough to count my products. I know my lip collection is out of control. Everything else is okayish, although I probably don't need as many colorful eyeliners as I have. I'm trying not to bring in a lot of new stuff, but I've been stress shopping, plus my birthday's coming up. I'll try to put the breaks on after that. Hopefully Ulta won't tempt me too much with the fall sale.
Good morning sunshine! Excited to watch this!😊🙌💞
I just inventoried my makeup this past weekend. I put my ideal numbers and my actual numbers. I hope it will help me not buy it I don't have space for it in my ideal number!
i do my own skincare and makeup inventory (i don't buy a lot of makeup so it barely every moves but i'm constantly in the skincare one haha iy's super organized in my notes app)
Love your earrings! Very clever of you 👏🏻🌸
Thank you!
I’ve been doing a quarterly inventory this year and most categories are pretty steady except palettes and lips...I had 8 palettes at the beginning of the year, 10 for Q2, and now 17 😬 I put myself on a no buy until December!
Love your whole look today! Love the fish braid style, I need to get back to doing that again!
Thank you!
I'm giving up on ever using up my It Cosmetics brow pencil. I like it, but I am not someone who can use a brow pencil for six months without using it up. Six. That includes at least one month of using it every single day.
love the fishtail braid!
Thank you!
Instead of keeping a specific number, I have two plastic organizers I kept my makeup in and i.am not allowing myself more makeup than can fit in those.
I just uploaded a video similar to this and I was so shocked at how much makeup I actually own. I wish my collection was smaller like yours!
Inventory Check!
Total 139 Long-term Goal: 100 Goal for 2020: 130
Face 10 (3 Primers, 3 Foundations, 1 Powder, 3 Sprays)
Cheek 22 (2 Bronzers, 9 Highlights, 9 Blushes, 2 Palettes)
Eyes 21 (6 Liners, 3 Mascaras, 1 Brow Gel, 1 Primer, 10 Glitters/Pigments/Etc.)
Palettes 27 and SAME I really like them all even though this is more than I'd like
Lip 59 (8 Liners, 6 Crayons, 17 Glosses, 7 Liquid Lips, 21 Bullets) This is also my guilty category because I am bad at panning lip products, but I haven't purchased any since 2019.
As a way to use up my single eyeshadows I have my daughter swatch a few shades and pick a few and do her makeup
I love watching makeup inventory videos! Makes me more aware of tje numbers thay i have!
I absolutely love this eye look! Could you do a tutorial with this or share different palettes with which to create this look? (As you used single shades)
I did my own makeup inventory a couple months back bc of you. It made me go on a low buy. I've been doing good but the number is so high... especially knowing im not even a youtuber. Lol. Ive been doing really good with my makeup n enjoying my stash. Not going to lie. This pandemic helped me not buy makeup since march. Finally bought 1 brown eyeliner. Lol
Been waiting for this!! My latest update: 30 products. My new goal is 12-24 for a minimal makeup kit consisting of 5-7 eyeshadow pans/sticks, 1-3 eyeliner pencils, 1 mascara, 1 eyebrow product, 2-4 concealer and foundations, 1-3 blush and bronzers, 0-1 highlighters, 1 powder, and 1-3 lip products. Maybe by end of year?
I should do this too however I'm afraid to because I know I own entirely too much of everything that 1 person can never use in 5 lifetime's and that's embarrassing how much product/money waste I have 😱
Your whole look just screams summer 😍😍
These kind of videos really remind me to see what I already have
I actually just did my mid year inventory as well! I didn’t count palettes because that’s a mess of single shadows and I don’t know how to include them 😅 but I had 97 actual items, again excluding palettes :) this is all my foundations, concealers, cheek products, brow products, puppies ext. it also includes backups of any of those categories. pretty happy with my number and I tend to want to stay under 100. My biggest accomplishment is going from 24 base products (primer, foundation, color correction, powder, concealer) to 10!
I just did my very first inventory count and most categories were fine, but I was shocked at a few of them, so I immediately did a new declutter 🤣
I thought about starting an inventory list but I already know I have more than I need. Still, I really like this idea. I'm curious what other influencers have and if they keep track of what they have..
Thanks for sharing! Your hair looks amazing!!
I did a makeup inventory and said " I have to much". 😆 today" I want the UD palette" 🤣🤣 i always cave when its an eyeshadow palette.
Here's my inventory:
1 primer, 1 BB cream, 1 concealer, 1 cream blush, 1 setting powder, 1 bronzer and highlight duo, 1 mascara, 2 eyebrow pencils, 3 eyebrow shadows, 1 eyebrow gel, 2 eyeshadow palettes (one is 9 bright colours and the other one is more neutral), 2 bullet lipsticks (they're basically the same colour cause one is a dupe of the other one) and 2 liquid lipsticks. Most of these items are drugstore and kinda old, cause even buying drugstore makeup would be a huge chunk out of my budget.
Btw, love your project pan videos 😊
This is such a neat idea, I’m gonna do this rn!
One thing I hate about this year is it is harder to go through my makeup because I’m hardly wearing any! Covid just ruining everything
Your hair looks great 😊😊
Maybe you could try to make a conscious effort to always add a bullet lipstick to the shop my stash, to make sure they do get use
I just did my inventory and I'm not too mad at my numbers (though I did escalate with blush lol). My main focus is using up body lotions because people always gift them to me.😂
I ordered one lipstick n my first ever blush 😆 Now slightly regretting being impulsive over lipstick coz I've more than enough! But right now, I'm kinda loving Rosey brown-mauve tones and made the purchase!
I've taken inspiration from u n been working consistently on skincare (finished 2 moisturizers, almost done on the 3rd). Will take inventory of my makeup items n start doing the same ❤️
I've been looking forward to this!! 😀
You look beautiful😍
So you’ve got 14 blushers! You finished one🤭. You notice it is july already, that means you will finish two in a year😅 And girl, 27 eyeshadow palettes! That means you can use them max two weeks or actually less in a year😉 No judgement #nohate
I’d love to see more declutters!
My collection:
Five eye shadow palettes
One face palette
One highlighter
Three powders
Three lipsticks
Two glosses
A lot of kajals (7?) i always put them in my handbags😇
One concealer
Too many brushes ( over twenty😱)
Love the hair!
You are literally the queen of makeup👑🤩💗✨!
I have around 460 items 😬🙈 I'm getting ready to update my makeup inventory too
I love your eye look!
since the beginning of pandemic I didn’t buy anything but also I didn’t use up anything 😩 I know that I’m working from home, I have Mask in public places etc so it’s normal but still I feel in a weird limbo, everything is older and older and I can’t do nothing about it 😩
30 lipsticks means if you use one everyday you can use each lipstick on about 12 days a year. No wonder that it is not possible to finish them up...
I’m just waiting for my last birthday order then I get to see the number lol I went I bit overboard for my birthday this year so I’m a bit scared to see my mid year numbers
My inventory:
2 foundations
1 primer
1 concealer
2 bronzers
1 highlighter
1 eye pencil
2 mascaras
1 lash primer
2 eyeshadow palletes (22 eyeshadows)
1 powder
2 brow pencils
3 brow gel/ mascaras
1 brow pomade
6 lip products excluding colored chopsticks
2 setting sprays
I am happy with my makeup collection. What is out of control is my skin care. Even today I received my order: tatcha cream. Help!
Here’s my inventory, I’m not a UA-camr or influencer so this might be crazy
47 eyeshadow palettes
36 blushes
15 brow pencils
23 eyeliners
15 single eyeshadow
1 lash glue
7 false lashes
16 mascara (only one open)
9 bronzers
13 primers (most are samples)
Bullet lipsticks 12
Liquid lipsticks 15 (8 are the same brand
Lip glosses 7
Face palettes 7
Setting sprays 6
Lip balms 8
Face Powder 10
Highlighter 18
Total =265 items
I have been buying less and I have mostly stopped buying non cruelty free items, I’d like to eventually stop buying them at all, but I love some of my maybelline and wet n wild and physicians Formula butter bronzer and blushes
I want to get more use out of my non cruelty free items because I don’t want to waste my money I spent but I know I’m not going to purchase anything that’s not cruelty free so is that justified?
Is there a cruelty free dupe for physicians Formula butter bronzer and blush and maybelline lipsticks and highlighter and city bronzer oh and the wet n wild highlighters for around the same price? I love those things but if I could find a cruelty free option I’d be willing to not purchase them
Zero foundations or blushes?!
Great video! I like your hair 😊
I don’t count my eye liners lip liners or lipstick or gloss because those are like”bonus” items lol
i think if i were to do an inventory, it wouldn’t be good lol. i know i have too much product, and i stopped buying at the beginning of the year, but that’s like opening pandora’s box 😂😂
Hey Kelly , love the video💖💖
