Christine, I commented a while back saying I could watch all your less stuff less stress, decluttering & makeup inventory videos all day lol. I really was serious about you being inspirational. I am also a beauty vlogger and was a MAC artist for quite some time. I accumulated so many MAC lippies as well as other brands. I recently got rid of over 200 lipsticks. 60 of them being MAC. THANK YOU for inspiring me. I will continue using up/ donating my makeup. I am forever grateful to you and your encouraging words.
I think it's really cool that you give so much makeup, nail polish, and a lot of products to the women's shelter. I bet they really appreciate it. I love all of your videos!
Oh no why!? I don't want you to feel depressed! See, for me this is uplifting, having too much stuff stresses me out. Simplifying feels wonderful and freeing. This has also made it easier to find and use the products that I truly love. :)
It's so fun to go back and watch your old videos, after seeing where you are now. Decluttering is definitely a long process, not an overnight change. I could watch these all day!
I have 400+ bottles of nail polish too!! I don't think I want to purge just yet tho! lol The sad thing is, I still keep buying more....yes I have a definite problem!!
I am loving watching these de clutter videos that you have put up. I also love how you include your husband in your decisions and get his opinion about things. I admire that and I am the same way. These videos to get rid of excess things and to stop the consumerism are great and very much needed. Thank you.
I've done a ton of decluttering of beauty products since last summer. I threw out a bunch of products I never used & over the past few months I've been focussing on rotating my products so they all get some love. I've also recently switched to much more natural body care after falling in love with paraben-free face products. Thanks Christine, these are by far my favorite videos of yours!
I am ADDICTED to these de-clutter and reorganize videos. I'm not even doing the de-cluttering but I feel less stressed! It's very therapeutic, thanks Pinksofoxy! xo
Thank you for doing this! I appreciate how you are de-cluttering your makeup and stepping away from hoarding and extreme consumerism; it's amazing to watch. I actually have very sparse makeup because I do not do videos/reviews and simply do not need all the makeup but it's nice inspiration to see such a thoughtful process to give to those in need.
I think you made an excellent example for everyone. The fact that you love make up, doesn't mean that you have to buy it all. Love it!!!! I'm letting go a lot of my stuff at home and it feels great!!!! THANK YOU!!! Kisses from Israel!!
I love these videos! I love seeing your inner fight with yourself, the "no, I do not need all of this". It's so easy to get caught up and just buy like crazy! I find myself buying one here, one the re now I have an entire box full that I couldn't possibly ever use. Thank you for the motivation!!
A huge THANKYOU for posting these videos. It's nice to see someone else that loves all things makeup, but is trying to rationalise what they buy with what they actually use. I recently moved house and was shocked at how much stuff I'd accumulated, and ever since have been on a mission to use everything up! As much as I love buying and trying new things, sometimes its just as satisfying to actually finish something and throw it out. Love your videos :)
Christine, I get so inspired by your declutter video's! I don't have a lot of make up, but I do tend to keep stuff I don't use/wear, so I went through my closet, got rid of a lot of stuff (even found a t-shirt I wore in high school, and I'm 28 now...) And while I browse through everything, I clean the cabinets and all, so spring cleaning has started! Oh, and I really love how Michael supports you!
I absolutely love your declutter vlogs! I've been on a cleaning out kick myself. In fact, your initial Makeout 2013 video got me to do my own inventory. It's really made me mindful of all the products I currently own and helps me stop myself from buying more.
I think your de cluttering video is great! Not everyone wants 10 dressers full of old products like these beauty gurus have. I personally only use palettes that came out in 2014 and 2015. But people love to collect so that's good for them, but I personally only want new things lol. Brand new! De cluttering is fun man!! Hehe☺️
Love these videos and the organization ones too! You've inspired me to organize my closets and not purchase things (make up) I do not need! Love love your channel! *hugs*
I really look up to you for getting rid of things and giving them to people who will need/appreciate them :) I often clean out my closet and give tons of stuff to shelters. Feels so nice.
Just gave away a ton of my kids old clothes, blankets, bedding, and shoes. I give away their toys once a year around October when I start Christmas shopping. Love these videos.
Michael is a great guy! You're both definitely lucky to have each other! :) he was so sweet to take time and patience to see which colours suited you best!
Those lipsticks look so pretty all together! Like colourful candy, haha! :) But I should say I am amazed by your kind heart and organised personality - the world would be a better place if there were more people like you!
Wow, I only have 3 lipsticks and I feel that I have too many... Inspiring to see that you really want to make sure that you use your products and you are making a change in your makeup collection. Awesome video! Thank you so much for sharing.
You're the only UA-camr doing anything like this! Some UA-camrs with HUGE collections are still doing HUGE hauls ALL THE TIME! I think you are awesome for this. It's true the makeup will expire and go bad!
offtopic. I had recieved the parcel from you with my order of your faboulos jewelry. Thank you so much for your work. My husband likes how the earings looks on me, too! Awaiting for the new collections!
I use a label maker to label all my makeup. It forces me to throw out really old makeup. I also am a sucker for limited edition Mac makeup items. Even if they do look horrible on me
It's just so refreshing to have at least ONE woman on here who thinks before she buys. "Do I really need this, will I wear it" and most of the time the answer is 'No'. That's something a LOT of girls have to learn. To be honest, I was the same. I moved to the States, got a great job with good pay and bought any item I laid eyes on. Then you started your declutter series and I had planned a lot of continental trips and I was like: "The money I spent on make-up could be easily spent on travelling
just wanted to say you've helped me motivate myself to clean out my makeup collection! you're totally right - there's no need to stockpile makeup like some store. it's a much more manageable size... realistic if anything! I'm using things that I love and I don't have a bunch of products wasting away in the drawer. having so much make up sitting around made me disgusted at how I got sucked into buying all of them. love your vids and keep them up
These videos are really inspiring, please keep it up!!! :D And your husband is SOOO awesome for taking the time to sit with you and go through lipsticks! Such a keeper, clearly! :)
This is a great video - sometimes we have to stop, take stock of what we have bought to keep things in perspective. I have done the same. My problem is when I find something I like and it's a great price, I tend to buy multiples but give them as birthday gifts etc. too (to aleviate some of the guilt). Doing a total on the purchases also is a great reminder.
Hi Christine. I love your de clutter series! Are you planning to do a video on the 10 products you bought/ want to buy? I remember 1 was an Inglot blush, but don't remember you mentioning any other.
Just wanted to let you know I love all of your videos and wanted to let you know that your declutter ones have really helped me to let go of products because when you are letting something go you explain why and the reasoning behind it and I have found that really helpful instead of just saying that's going .My make up collection is very similar and the way you have explained things really makes sense and has really really helped me can't thank you enough keep up the good work X
I love your declutter videos. You have inspired me to Finally go through all my stuff and set up my room the way I want it . I have been in this house 9 months now and never set it up properly so thanks. I give my sister my unwanted things and what she dosnt want I give to lifeline which is a charity shop here in Australia
This reminded me how much i love my Buxom lipsticks as well, but my collection in minuscule in comparison, lol! I think its awesome u go through and pass on your stuff to someone else who will show it more love because the product is still good and sometimes a lot of money and family or friends would be excited to try a new product :) awesome!
Hello! What is the name of the peachy revlon one that you got rid of? It hurts so much to watch this because I am a bright lipstick lover. :) And, girl,you don't need SO MUCH nude lipsticks, no one does ( I mean, if you're already decluttering).
Christine I love your declutter videos! I will be decluttering soon =) there's just so much hype on youtube about getting the newest things and they all look so tempting. I need to work on using what i have and stop wasting money and space =)
I LOVE this video! I love the motivation & I love what you're doing! Usually when I purge my excess makeup it ends up going to my mom. This vid has inspired me to run through my collection again bc mother's day is coming, & even though I already have a gift, she would go bananas for some "new to her" makeup, lol. You rock!
I LOVE the colors you are gettign rid of - not that I have any of them - but they are so pretty. I am into bright pinks so that candy yum yum looks so cute!!!
I love your declutter videos. Youre a great inspiration! In fact im doing a makeup declutter tomorrow! What boxes do u use in your drawers? I really like then..
you picked the most supportive and kind man for your life! ^o^ Thanks to the video and you are the role model for us. I am not as brave as you to declutter many of my makeups, but I had restricted myself from purchasing new makeups pretty well. I tried to use up as much as possible. Maybe I will donate some of them later. Thanks!
I love your videos! Decluttering makes me feel better too. I go through my collection and give the things I'm not wearing/using to my best friend after I sterilize them. She then will pass on everything she can't use/doesn't want. :)
Ur so strong! I have SUCH a hard time getting rid of my makeup, even if I never wear it! I was talking to my sister about it. Especially eyeshadows, I very rarely wear any shadows, except some neutrals, yet I have SO freakin much, every color of the rainbow, its ridiculous. Maybe at some point I'll sit down with my bf and get rid of some stuff! Thanks for the inspiration!
I have like 15 lipsticks and I think it's too much, because I don't use them that much, I only have some favorites. So I totally understand how you feel with so many lipsticks! GO GIRL!!
In the past month I have done a lot of decluttering too, it took me a while to go through everything and try everything again, it is so disgusting to see how much excess we have when there are others who are happier with less. It is very satisfying to pass on stuff you never use.
You and I must have opposite coloring :). I would have gotten rid of all of the warm toned lipsticks, and kept the cool toned ones! Candy Yum Yum is a favorite of mine!
I love those type of videos!! I also get stressed out if I have too much. It makes me feel like so gross... I don't know why but I'd rather have a small collection of things which I use everyday than a big collection and I don't even use half of it. I already wasted so much money on things which I never got around to use it! Thank you so much for inspiring me doing that 6 months ago
you are so gracious for donating all of this. You are amazing! I love watching these videos.. have you done any in the past? Also, what made you stop buying make up? I want to do the same as you, but i just love it so much. Any tips? Don't know if you answered this before, sorry if you did
Christine, I commented a while back saying I could watch all your less stuff less stress, decluttering & makeup inventory videos all day lol. I really was serious about you being inspirational. I am also a beauty vlogger and was a MAC artist for quite some time. I accumulated so many MAC lippies as well as other brands. I recently got rid of over 200 lipsticks. 60 of them being MAC. THANK YOU for inspiring me. I will continue using up/ donating my makeup. I am forever grateful to you and your encouraging words.
I still love coming back and watching these videos! xx
I think it's really cool that you give so much makeup, nail polish, and a lot of products to the women's shelter. I bet they really appreciate it. I love all of your videos!
Oh no why!? I don't want you to feel depressed! See, for me this is uplifting, having too much stuff stresses me out. Simplifying feels wonderful and freeing. This has also made it easier to find and use the products that I truly love. :)
It's so fun to go back and watch your old videos, after seeing where you are now. Decluttering is definitely a long process, not an overnight change. I could watch these all day!
Emily Dean. same
You declutter videos have inspired me to purge through my 400+ bottles of nail polish! Thank you!
I have 400+ bottles of nail polish too!! I don't think I want to purge just yet tho! lol The sad thing is, I still keep buying more....yes I have a definite problem!!
+Gracist2 you should just go through all of them by color or brand. Ex.: Pinks, Reds, Blues, Oranges, Purples or Revlon, Essie, wet N Wild, etc.
I am loving watching these de clutter videos that you have put up. I also love how you include your husband in your decisions and get his opinion about things. I admire that and I am the same way. These videos to get rid of excess things and to stop the consumerism are great and very much needed. Thank you.
Woot I'm inspired to go through my nail polished and lipsticks now too!!! Thanks for your wonderful videos!
I've done a ton of decluttering of beauty products since last summer. I threw out a bunch of products I never used & over the past few months I've been focussing on rotating my products so they all get some love. I've also recently switched to much more natural body care after falling in love with paraben-free face products. Thanks Christine, these are by far my favorite videos of yours!
I am ADDICTED to these de-clutter and reorganize videos. I'm not even doing the de-cluttering but I feel less stressed! It's very therapeutic, thanks Pinksofoxy! xo
I love the idea of showing all of your lipsticks together.
Thank you for doing this! I appreciate how you are de-cluttering your makeup and stepping away from hoarding and extreme consumerism; it's amazing to watch. I actually have very sparse makeup because I do not do videos/reviews and simply do not need all the makeup but it's nice inspiration to see such a thoughtful process to give to those in need.
I think you made an excellent example for everyone. The fact that you love make up, doesn't mean that you have to buy it all. Love it!!!! I'm letting go a lot of my stuff at home and it feels great!!!! THANK YOU!!! Kisses from Israel!!

Christine, I get so inspired by your declutter video's! I don't have a lot of make up, but I do tend to keep stuff I don't use/wear, so I went through my closet, got rid of a lot of stuff (even found a t-shirt I wore in high school, and I'm 28 now...)

Thank you so much Isadora! Huge hugs!! xoxo
Wow I love this. I love how you took full control of yourself! Sometimes I wish other gurus would do things like this!
Sure, though it's not an actual "no-buy" rather a 10 item limit for the year but yes I can definitely do an update. ;)
I must have watched this 5 times trying to work up the discipline to do this to my collection. Soo inspiring.
Just gave away a ton of my kids old clothes, blankets, bedding, and shoes. I give away their toys once a year around October when I start Christmas shopping. Love these videos.
Michael is a great guy! You're both definitely lucky to have each other! :) he was so sweet to take time and patience to see which colours suited you best!

yay another declutter video! i can't wait for your closet declutter video Christine it gives me an extra boost to let go of some stuff.
Awesome work - keep at it Christine! You and Michael are soul mates :) it's amazing, I get that with my husband we say things almost at the same time.
Thank you SO much sweetheart!!
so sweet you give it to a women's shelter i have never seen anybody who does that it is so sweet and thoughtful!!!:)
I LOVE THESE VIDEOS!!! The Clear cube or copy of the clear cube would look beautiful in your vanity area!!!
just wanted to say you've helped me motivate myself to clean out my makeup collection! you're totally right - there's no need to stockpile makeup like some store. it's a much more manageable size... realistic if anything! I'm using things that I love and I don't have a bunch of products wasting away in the drawer. having so much make up sitting around made me disgusted at how I got sucked into buying all of them. love your vids and keep them up
OMG!! I literally screamed with delight at another declutter video!! lol
These videos are really inspiring, please keep it up!!! :D And your husband is SOOO awesome for taking the time to sit with you and go through lipsticks! Such a keeper, clearly! :)
I love these videos and your perspective on conscious beauty. Your videos are never boring or redundant. Keep up the good work!
This is a great video - sometimes we have to stop, take stock of what we have bought to keep things in perspective. I have done the same. My problem is when I find something I like and it's a great price, I tend to buy multiples but give them as birthday gifts etc. too (to aleviate some of the guilt). Doing a total on the purchases also is a great reminder.
This might sound weird but I keep coming back to these videos over the last few years.
I loved the video of the bedroom/living room clear out - it would be great to see the finished result!
Hi Christine. I love your de clutter series! Are you planning to do a video on the 10 products you bought/ want to buy? I remember 1 was an Inglot blush, but don't remember you mentioning any other.

I love these videos! You've inspired me to do some decluttering myself :)
Love that your doing this xxx so many woman are just going to be over the moon to be given a lipstick when they don't have much at all xxx
Never stop doing these videos, love them!
Oh yes, I've had a blog sales in the past and you never know I may have one again sometime. ;)
Christine I love your declutter videos! I will be decluttering soon =) there's just so much hype on youtube about getting the newest things and they all look so tempting. I need to work on using what i have and stop wasting money and space =)
You are the only person whom I can listen to talking the entire video, I dont know how you did it, but i just love your videos. :)
You totally inspired me to declutter my stuff!
I LOVE this video! I love the motivation & I love what you're doing! Usually when I purge my excess makeup it ends up going to my mom. This vid has inspired me to run through my collection again bc mother's day is coming, & even though I already have a gift, she would go bananas for some "new to her" makeup, lol. You rock!
Yayy!! I am obsessed with these videos!
I love all the colors of your lipsticks! You are so lucky! Also this video has inspired me to not buy so much makeup. Thank you!
Aw Michael is such a nice guy to help you decide what to keep :) I love your videos and vlogs, your my fave youtuber by far Christine! xXx
Love the declutter vlogs!
these videos are always what i look forward to from you! theyre my favourite!!!
Great stuff Christine...when you take your other stuff to sell at the swap what do you do with the items you cant sell? best wishes Xx
I am with you on the waiting period. I almost got rid of my bobby brown ultra shimmer glosses and now they're my faves!
This videos are inspirational for me. I've began to declutter my stuff too
You are doing so well decluttering you go girl
Drooling over the MAC lipsticks. So beautiful. Great video.
Me too, I am addicted to your videos too. I just love them.
I LOVE the colors you are gettign rid of - not that I have any of them - but they are so pretty. I am into bright pinks so that candy yum yum looks so cute!!!
I love your declutter videos. Youre a great inspiration! In fact im doing a makeup declutter tomorrow! What boxes do u use in your drawers? I really like then..

Loveee this video!! I really need to do this to my own collection..! I would love to see a lip liner collection video. Thanks
Wow! Your lipstick collection is massive
Ur so strong! I have SUCH a hard time getting rid of my makeup, even if I never wear it! I was talking to my sister about it. Especially eyeshadows, I very rarely wear any shadows, except some neutrals, yet I have SO freakin much, every color of the rainbow, its ridiculous. Maybe at some point I'll sit down with my bf and get rid of some stuff! Thanks for the inspiration!
YES!! So exciting to see this in my subscription box!!
It would be so cool to see a video on the ten products you choose to buy at the end of the year!
This has inspired me to get into my huge collection and get rid of some items :) Thank you xxx
Michael is so sweet to go through lipsticks with you. I can't imagine asking my bf to do that. He'd probably give me THAT look. :)
I have like 15 lipsticks and I think it's too much, because I don't use them that much, I only have some favorites. So I totally understand how you feel with so many lipsticks! GO GIRL!!
In the past month I have done a lot of decluttering too, it took me a while to go through everything and try everything again, it is so disgusting to see how much excess we have when there are others who are happier with less. It is very satisfying to pass on stuff you never use.
Hey. I watched your benefits of Coconut oil video and been using it for everything and never had a closer shave in my life... great info...
What a fantastic video! What an inspiration!
What do you use to sanitize your makeup? Is it homemade or prepackaged item? Was thinking of using Beauty So Clean.
Thnaks for another declutter.. love these videos.. they are great at gettingme to kick start my own each time :)
I love revlon as well and champagne on ice made the cut - yes! It was like watching an elimination show to see which revlon lipstick you would rid.
Your brave!! Every time I try to get rid of something I think someday I might want to use it lol!!
Although I don't have as much makeup as you do I also do a lot of declutter and only keep what I like!
Your declutter inspires me to be more selective. Although I'm having trouble letting go. Lol. Love you! ~ Natalie
You and I must have opposite coloring :). I would have gotten rid of all of the warm toned lipsticks, and kept the cool toned ones! Candy Yum Yum is a favorite of mine!
this is such an awesome idea! Im such a fan or yours now!!
Love your makeup collection!
I love those type of videos!! I also get stressed out if I have too much. It makes me feel like so gross... I don't know why but I'd rather have a small collection of things which I use everyday than a big collection and I don't even use half of it. I already wasted so much money on things which I never got around to use it! Thank you so much for inspiring me doing that 6 months ago
Do any of your old lipsticks get moldy?
wow you are amazing and i seriously admire you for doing this!
you are so gracious for donating all of this. You are amazing! I love watching these videos.. have you done any in the past? Also, what made you stop buying make up? I want to do the same as you, but i just love it so much. Any tips? Don't know if you answered this before, sorry if you did
