It is an absolute must for dogs to bark while we film. That bronzer category is impressive. Serenity is the perfect name for the mosaic blush! I feel like your perfume collection is completely reasonable. I love seeing all of the eyeshadows. 🤩
I am so happy with where my bronzer number is! It's so crazy how many products I had just 2-3 years ago! Oh man, the pups just have to let everyone know they are there. I try to let them out to run around before I film so they will take a snooze, but it's been raining so much that sometimes it's hard to make them go out. 😂
Love the gray streaks…! You are so young and pretty that the gray will look sophisticated, not aging. I colored my hair for SIXTY years. I decided to let it grow out, and of course, it’s solid white now. I kind of wish I had gone through all the stages because going from brown to white pretty suddenly instead of gradually was not fun. Just do whatever makes you happy.
Your profile picture is so pretty and the light hair looks amazing on you!! (also cute kitty!) I am trying to slowly lighten my hair back to my natural color and the gray may not be as contrasting, but I am loving the little pops of natures "highlights" 😂
I had no idea what picture was on my UA-cam account…LOL. Thanks for the compliment, but that was made about 5 years ago. I should definitely update. You are right about the kitty, though.
Thank you!! I haven't been on YT to watch content much this past week, but do you do an inventory? I've seen your eyeshadow collection videos before and your shop your stash, but I wonder if you track your numbers?
Hi Erin! You’re doing so well at continuing to track and be conscious of your ins and outs! I’m doing well so far! Just finished filming my Stashed and Trashed for Q2. While a lot always comes in through PR, my total spending for the year so far (makeup, skincare and tools) is $175 and change!! I’m so proud of me!! 😉🤣 I love listening to the rain too! Hello to Washburn! And love tons! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
$175!? WOW!! that's crazy! It's awesome that you can play with PR and do content with it as well while being mindful of your beauty spending! Rain in FL is funny because I want it to rain for hours so I can listen to it, but this time of year, it's either 10 mins of rain here and there, or a down pour that floods the back yard! 😂 Also, hurricane season has already been crazy with the storm happening right now.
We have super similar collections in terms of overall size but also when it comes to the categories…except for eyeshadows and lip liners. I have way more lip liners. You got me beat on eyeshadow, girl!
I think there are some categories that don't need to be super large. I also like that I have found skin care that works for me, so I don't need a bunch of extra products that aren't getting used. I learned that I have wasted so much money in the past with having a larger collection! I have sort of considered getting tattooed lip liner and never having to buy one again. 😅
@@erintaylorwrites I used to use a black eyeliner every day before the pandemic. But I figured out that it looks a bit harsh on me and I have limited lid space (age + slightly hooded eyes) so I skip it now. I need to get better with lip liners. I don’t even like them that much and struggle to remember to use them. I’ve been on a lip liner no-buy for two years…and I’ve only finished one since!
I have been geeking out waiting for this video! You did amazing with using up your products. A whole highlighter and blush gone!! I love your curated collection and that you know what you love. I am looking forward to the day when my collection gets down to a more manageable number.
Thank you dear lady! Loved your inventory also!!! I would say, as long as you are meeting your goals and you have been able to use up more than what you are bringing in, which is amazing!!! ❤️
Hi Erin. You inspired me to start making my own spreadsheets this year and really mapping out just how big my beauty collection is. As of right now i am up by 3 products compared to may which is when i started setting hard goals for myself. My goal is to hopefully finish 23 products by the end of the year (that's if i don't purchase anything new). Also i love the gray streaks in your hair. They look like tiny highlights to me.
Yes! Natures highlights!! Also, I love that you have found a way to track your items and be mindful about your purchasing! Having your numbers up by 3 is amazing! How are you doing on your 23 product goal for the year?!
@erintaylorwrites I am down a proud 8 products on my 23 product goal. The warmer temperatures of summer do slow down my progress a bit though i am flying through my sunscreen right now. 😊
I don't really do inventories anymore since i think i have a very small curated collection, make up, bodycare, skincare and haircare wise. But i like to do my own little use up challenges, track my purchases, do no buys and save my beauty trash which i started doing this year and it's so so satisfying actually seeing the products you used up. I love it. Loved this inventory and i love that you add skincare because i'm more into skincare than make up. Would have loved to seen the bodycare too but that's okay!!
I love that you have been able to find ways to track and be mindful about your collection, even if it is smaller and curated! Seeing empties at the end of the year is very eye opening to see how much we go through!! Body care isn't too excited. Just a tree hut shave oil, my body oils that I talked about a few buys and byes ago, and s tree hut body scrub. If I do a video just reviewing my spread sheets, then I will go over the body care tab and show what products I have. ❤️
This makes me curious. What does your collection look like with wearing makeup 10-15 times a month. I know sometimes, we can think we need a lot of products, only to never wear them...or do you get good use on your items with the 10-15 times a month?
Erin, I do the same with setting sprays, pour them all together into a measuring cup and refill the spray bottles 🙂! Or at least I used to when I was using the Physicians Formula Butter Believe it spray as my base spray, and was mixing with various lower cost ones.which I couldn’t really tell the difference between 🤪
That's awesome!! I always find that long lasting sprays make me look too matte through the day and suck all the moisture out of my skin, so I mix a long lasting with a dewy and I love the finish! I heard a ton of good things about the Butter Believe It spray. Do they still make it?
@@erintaylorwrites I’m in the UK and we get some of these things on a delay but doesn’t seem on offer from any of our retailers any long so guess it’s phased out.
I do use lipliner every day. I’m I totally ok with using one at a time and try to have a lip liner that works with the lipstick/products that I am trying to pan. ❤
I love the milani eyeshadow primer. This year I had to repurchase in February and just yesterday it went off - was all oily and separated. I was so shocked because that has never happened for me. Have you ever had one do that? It was really really weird.
OH man! I think I had my last one separate on me like that. I can't remember what I ended up doing...remixing it or squeezing out the oil until it got back to the normal consistency. I do like the Milani one, but can't wait to go back to the paint pot.
I don't know if I'm going to do a mix year inventory😂😂 i am doing good on buying I've only bought very few items. I did pick up the foundation and setting spray from elf. But that is all. I loved seeing into your collection as always. Hi sweet pups
@@erintaylorwrites yes 2 foundations,4 concealers,4 powders, 3 setting sprays 2 lip liners, and several lip mask and lip products. Plus I've got pan on two bronzer's. I've used 42 palettes that were unused starting the year💚

Yaaassss! LOVE inventories with pictures and all the nerdy numbers/spreadsheets!!! Thank you, Erin 😍
I love it too!!! I'm so happy you enjoyed! Sometimes I think that working on my spread sheets is a form of self care and meditation for me. 😂
My fave type of video to watch. I noticed that I am more into lip products, especially glosses since prev yrs. You are doing great with your numbers 😊
I am loving glosses also!!! I cannot get enough lip products!! I may have another in my cart right now. 😱
You have a great curated collection good job! I’m loving that eye look too!

I ALWAYS am here for a nerdy Erin video!!
YES!! Life got crazy with work and I was falling behind on tracking, but this video got me back on track and I am so thrilled with the numbers!!
I love how you did this. Numbers. Photos. So good.
Thank you!! I love to geek out over the numbers!!

Do you use lip liner daily, and do you think you should add any?
I do use lipliner every day. I’m I totally ok with using one at a time and try to have a lip liner that works with the lipstick/products that I am trying to pan. ❤
@@erintaylorwrites makes sense I have to have a nude because I wear lip liner and gloss most days.
Heard that “Fine’ry Pistachio Please” is a fragrant body mist that is nice. Can get it at Target
I've seen those but never stopped to smell them! I'll give them a sniff when I'm in Target next!
Here for it🥂
Thank you as always for the support!! ❤
