This was so refreshing! I really appreciate a declutter where the individual actually parts with items they aren't using or don't quite suit their needs rather than spending the entire video trying to come up with justifications not to part with items they never use and never will! Also so hard to find someone who reviews luxury brands. Thanks so much for this video!!!
Thank you so much, Natalie! I’m really glad you enjoyed this, and I’m always so happy to connect with someone who also loves luxury beauty brands! 💕
Thanks! It’s so hard to find someone talking about Surratt, Byredo and Sisley. I adore the Byredo eyeshadows! You are so great - thank you for this video which I shall use as a reference!
Allison! Thank you SO much for your generosity! I am so happy and so thankful 💕 I’m really glad this is helpful for you! Love hearing that we have the same taste in brands as well. Surratt, Byredo, and Sisley are truly my favourites. ❤️
I love how u really understand what u need and don’t need. I’m so over the channels that show hundreds of same makeup products over and over. Consumerism at its best. U r a woman that I can relate too. As a former MUA for Chanel and Laura Mercier, I did a deep dive recently and got rid of so much. Brutal but feel great😂. Thank u for ur vids. 😊
Hi Yvonne! Wow, you must have had a lot of beautiful products to go through being a former MUA of Chanel and Laura Mercier. I can imagine the difficulty of letting go of them! It feels so good at the end though, doesn't it? Thanks so much for your comment 💕
I really enjoyed this video. It was nice to hear from someone who likes the Byredo quints. Seems like most other creators have a more negative take on them. I'm obsessed with Syren.
Oh, I ADORE Syren. It’s such an underrated palette. Definitely one of my favourites along with Fête Noires and Metal Boots in the Snow. I’ve been using Corporate Colours quite a bit recently as well. Always happy to connect with another Byredo fan! Thank you for your nice comment 💕
@@bornblushing I'm obsessed with the Victory shade. I wish that came in a single in that color because I could probably wear that shade every day! I've been thinking (a lot) about getting Metal Boots in the Snow. So pretty! I also plan on picking up some Surratt items later this year, so I'm glad I found your page.
Love luxury brands and high end. My entire collection was built mostly last year. Its huge and has taken me over. But i love it all. Im 56 and just now doing this. Same with skincare. All lixury and high end.. my mature skin looks really glowy and hralthy now. Ive learned to embrace my wrinkles and keep making them look better and not get any worse! Thanks for covering this. Im a new subscriber 😊
I love this! Luxury skincare and makeup can just make you feel that extra bit special, can’t it? And the benefit of glowing skin is a big bonus! Thank you so much for subscribing. So happy to have you here 💕
I can’t believe I’m just discovering you now! I love your commentary, brb binge watching ALL your videos!
Thank you so much, Diana! I’m so glad you enjoyed this. Happy to have you here 💕
I love that you and your mom share a passion for luxury cosmetics. I would totally watch a video with her!
I just mentioned your comment to her and she said she'll come on my channel when I reach 100K... so I don't think we should hold our breath because at my rate that will be in 100 years 😂 One day I'm sure I can convince her!
Putting a drop of Inglot Duraline may revive that Chanel undertone shadow. Love all your picks that you kept although I have a hard time getting g rid of similar things if I love them both. I dont really have any desire to downsize my makeup collection although I do go through it often and my nieces are the lucky recipients of the things I don’t find I ever use. Good job.
@@pappyone6062 Your Inglot Duraline tip is SO helpful - I will order this and try it! Thank you so much for the advice. 💕 Yes, it's hard to let some things go! I really had to think about what looks good on me vs. what looks great in the packaging. Your nieces are very lucky!
@@bornblushing oh yes! I have bought many things that look great in the package but not my favorite on. I do let those go! Let us know how the Inglot works for that. Save that color of you can because I’ve tried to find it and can’t. Also let me know if you find that color. It’s right up my alley!
This is the best make up deculetter I have ever seen in a while. So organized and informative I have bought the west man atelier in Peru de peach but it is a bit darker for my liking. I was eyeing the de rose one but heard it is very shimmery which I don’t prefer 😢
Thank you so much! You’ve made my day with this. I agree, I used to have Peau de Peche but something about that tone wasn’t really my favourite. I adore Peau de Rosé, but I can definitely understand that you might hesitate if you don’t like any shimmer. I don’t find it to be intensely shimmery (Surratt’s is much more shimmery in comparison), but if you don’t like any shimmer whatsoever and just prefer a soft glow, then one I’ve tried that is lovely is Chanel’s highlight fluid. Their shade “Pearly Glow” might be a good option for you 💕
Thank you!!, your declutters are always so relaxing 🫶❤️
Ahhh I really hope you enjoy this one, Hadeel! Made it especially with you in mind 💕
@@bornblushing i really loved it ❤️❤️ i'm also so ready for your hunt for nude lipsticks!
@@hadeelalghwairy Oh the hunt is VERY much "on" right now. There will be a nude lipstick video in the future! 💕
I love the way the big Byredo palette and the quints perfectly fit into one drawer.
So satisfying, right? Love calling it my Byredo drawer 💕
How have I not found your channel till now? I adore your personality and voice. Your collection is beautiful and now incredibly curated which is so refreshing!
I’m so glad you found my channel! Thank you so much for your sweet words. Happy to have you here! 💕
I'm a bit late here, but I'm so happy to see a new video from you. Can't wait to watch! Hope you're doing well!💕
It's always so lovely to hear from you, Natalia! I hope you're doing well, too 💕
I love the range of your makeup being high end and drugstore. Thank you for sharing this with us.
So happy to hear that you enjoyed this, Pamela! Thanks for watching 💕
Hi Brittany, I loved watching your process in decluttering. You've inspired me to go through my collection and remove some unloved makeup in my collection. I'm stuck at my lipstick collection bc it's so out of hand! So impressed how you were able to curate your collection down to the absolute essentials! Your Dries Van Noten lipstick cases!🤩 I so wish cosmetic companies standardized the lipstick refills so we can move our lipsticks around in different cases. I'm also guilty of buying 2 to 3 of the same type of lipstick product, just in case! To try it out! Gah! I love the Guerlain cosmetic cases, more than the actual lipstick formula. Maybe sell the cases online? The Graphic Ochre runs a smidge too warm for my liking. Wow, I can't believe you whittled down your collection to 14 lipsticks! That Byredo Red & Blue is some of the best red lipstick shade! It'd be so great to see a video of all your favorite lipsticks try-on. Also, would love to hear an update and your thoughts on using the Oura ring. Great video Brittany!
Hi Miki! Thanks so much for watching this. I'm glad you're feeling inspired to go through your own collection as well! It is a bit tiresome but so worth it after it's all done. I totally agree that companies should standardize lipstick refills! Of course, not great for them but would be amazing for us. ;) I know what you mean about Graphic Ochre. I really loved wearing it but now that I'm leaning more towards cool tones, I decided against repurchasing it. Byredo Red and Blue is my all-time favourite red! Such a stunning colour. It would look electrifying on you! Oooh yes, I have lots to share about the Oura Ring as well! Wasn't sure if people were interested or not, but I'll make sure to chat about it in an upcoming video! Thanks so much again for being here, Miki!
WOW! Great job Brittany! I just love the new Chanel highlighter! Review video maybe? 🤩❤
Thank you so much, Jana! The new Chanel highlighter is so beautiful isn’t it. Just couldn’t help myself. I’ve worn it mixed with my foundations and on its own and it’s lovely - I like how it’s thinner than the one I had before too. I’ll make sure to post about it in a future video for you! 💕
1. hair, makeup, sweater and ring are all looking FAB. 2. seeing what you are left with and how perfectly it all fits into that case is sooo satisfying!! such a good lesson to reflect on what we keep as it makes letting go so much easier 3. totally agree that we can keep our favorites and skip alts that may tempt us 4. definitely hold onto those lovely cases as you never know :) 5. similarly, great to keep those wilder options for when the mood strikes as that is their role 6. tysm for all the swatches and describing each color/formula. very helpful!! 7. love your 2024 goal of Balance. you're already well on your way! 8. hope 2024 provides you better rest too. 9. HAPPY NEW NEW to you my dear friend! 10. may your channel continue to grow and find the attention of great brands and an even greater audience. xx
Ah! You know your comments are EVERYTHING. Thank you for always being here. And I'm glad you enjoyed the swatches! I have a sneaky feeling that we will both find the balance we want to achieve this year! 💕
What a treat to get over an hour of your thoughts! This truly was a ruthless declutter!
So glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, it got more ruthless category by category 😂
Oh I’m so excited for this!!
I really hope you enjoyed it, Ashley!
Thank you so much for filming this declutter for us! It was such a treat to watch on a Saturday
Ah it’s my pleasure! Yeah it’s fun crossing over to the world of cool tones. I’m now realizing that I much prefer the look of them on me (after purchasing alllllll those warm toned lipsticks, of course). Let me know if you end up doing a serious declutter as well! 💕
Hands down the best makeup declutter and organization I have ever seen!! Loved every second. New subbie!
Ah! Thank you so much, Jennifer 💕 Very happy to have you here. Comments like yours keep me motivated to post videos!
This is all so gorgeous!
Thank you, Lauren! So glad you like it!
I love, love, love this! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching! So glad you enjoyed it!
This was such a great video to watch thank you Brittany! I normally don’t comment but I have really been enjoying your videos- it is evident how much time and effort you put into them ☺️
Oh thank you so much! You’ve completely made my day with this. I hope to post another video soon! 💕
I’m looking forward to it! We have similar taste in products (I love Koh Gen Do and Surratt!) but more importantly you seem really lovely and funny - so it’s just a pleasure to watch your videos 🥰
love how you organized
Thank you! I am pretty nutty about that organizer. 😍
So satisfying to watch👏🏻 thx for sharing 🇨🇦💓
Thanks so much for watching, Amanda! 💕
Thank you! The "hunt" is something I need to wean myself away from. My makeup collection is INSANE. I've tried to declutter but it's really hard! Good for you!
Hi Janet! Ooof, it is tough isn't it, especially when there are so many beautiful products to consider! I did struggle a bit during this. And oh yes, the hunt is QUITE addictive. I totally get it! I hope you are doing well 💕
@@bornblushing As a strategy going forward, I've decided on a low/no buy. I've discovered my favourite lipstick formulas and will stick to those. I know what types of eyeshadoes I like, and I'll just try to use what I have. I appreciate your thoughtful content.
@janetg2503 I love this for you, Janet! It’s hard at first but I do find it gets easier and really helps with getting to know our products better. And like you, I know what formulas I like, so it just makes sense to stick with those doesn’t it. Let me know how you get on with your low buy! 💕
You did a really great job for this declutter ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Brittany bebe💞 this was epic...ICONIC!! ✨💖 With snow on the ground and me with a two week old head cold, i snuggled under the covers with a cup of coffee & a tiny cat to watch this upload!! It made my Saturday 🥰❤️ Let me tell ya tho...i yelled at the screen a few times!! I was like "SAVE THE BYREDO" when the Purple Echo came up!! I died...its so pretty idk how you could let it go. And the Guerlain quads!! But what really got me is all the lip products...whew that was rough!! Im glad you kept the Dries & Guerlain cases at least!! And your two Hermes!! Love that more & more lippies are becoming refillable!! Cannot wait to see what nudes & Dior lip oil you get!! Absolutely love that makeup organizer too...ive been wanting one but I'd need at least 20!! I'll never declutter anything ever!! Once it's home it's home. At least eye palettes, lip items & blushes. Oh and unfortunately i think Chanel is discontinuing their creme eyeshadow. I wanted to replace my Silver Pink shade because mine is dried out but they only have two shades left that i have seen🤔 I have only bought one product so far this year...the new Gucci lip gloss in Virginia Fuchsia. I didn't need it but the packaging got me...as usual!! I am getting a few items from the new PRADA line... especially the lipstick in Fuxia (bright fuchsia shade) 💋 Hope you are doing well and thank you for sharing your joy with this fantastic upload!! Love ya bebe 💓💓💓
I'm sorry to hear you have had a cold for the past two weeks! Yuck! Hope you're staying cozy all weekend 💕 Ooooof I know... Good thing you couldn't see my face for most of this as I wouldn't be able to look you all in the eye as I parted with many of these items. ;) Thankfully most of them will go to a new home and will get used MUCH more often than if they stayed with me! The Byredo Purple Echo compact is SO pretty. Even as I was editing this video, I was like, "Oh no! What are you doing?!" Girl, let me tell you, the nude lipstick hunt is ON and I'll report back once I have my final choices in my hands... and on my lips! How DARE Chanel discontinue their cream eyeshadow... Undertone is everything! Ugh. I'll have to use it until it's completely gone and somehow make it work. The new Gucci lipgloss packaging is so lovely! I can definitely see why you got it. And in fuchsia of course! 💕 I am looooooving my makeup organizer, and it's a good size to make sure I stay in check (and don't go ahead and buy 20 nude lipsticks now). I love being able to see everything too! I can't stop looking at it! I hope you recover from your head cold ASAP! Chat soon bebe 💕
@@bornblushingoh hey thanks for the suggestion of the NYX eyeliner!! My favorite is the Chanel but the price raised to $35 so I might like to try the NYX ❤️
Ooh you’re welcome! That was a lucky find. You know I’m a luxury makeup girl, but the NYX liner is the best I’ve come across so far for the waterline especially! I’ve also tried the Chanel and do prefer the NYX. Let me know if you end up trying it! 💕
This is soooo satisfying! I love this video. You have exquisite taste, Britanny.
Thank you, Sue! So happy that you enjoyed this 💕
I've been waiting to watch this video ever since I saw you published it. It was worth the wait. I'm a little envious of your wonderfully curated, relatively minimalist (for the beauty community) collection. Perhaps someday I'll get to that point. Until then, my makeup monster needs variety to frolic freely. And that's why I don't think you're crazy for having so many blushes when the rest of your collection is relatively minimal. Having variety in a favorite category is so much fun! A good brown mascara is like a unicorn. The best one I tried was from Lancome (Monsieur Big). But at least in my memory, it wasn't a true brown. It was more of a brown black. Those Chantecaille shadows really are amazing, aren't they? Thank you so much for sharing the review video! It was great hearing your thoughts on the Surratt Soufflé shadows. I'm still so curious about many of their items. I can imagine it was a lot of work editing this. Thanks for putting in all the effort! It was a joy to watch.
I always appreciate you being here! I completely understand the makeup monster needing variety, having its own little playing field of different colours and textures. A good brown mascara is VERY hard. I'm struggling to find a better mascara than my beloved Sisley So Volume. *MASSIVE sigh Those Chantecaille shadows really are magical. I finally "get it" now! You really did do give them justice in your video. I'm excited to see your makeup monster dip its toes into Surratt one day. ;) Thank you for always being here, Stephanie! ❤
Wow Just Wow 😮
I know, I felt the same way at first. 😂
Fabulous
Thanks for watching!
OMG that organizer!!!! I want it as well. Although my collection is huge now it won’t fit😂 but I love it!
I am stupidly head over heels for the organizer. I love being able to see everything now and am often looking at it while at my desk. Maybe it would be good for your everyday "top drawer" makeup? 💕
@@bornblushing that’s what I am thinking! Maybe my capsule makeup routine. I have a set routine right now. ❤️
@@sonia.butler It always feels so good to have a routine with your favourites! And your makeup always looks so good.
I don’t know how you got rid of so many pretty things! So much stronger than I am lol
Oh it was tough! Thankfully focusing on what I have now makes it rewarding, and many of the decluttered items are going to new homes 💕
Enjoyed this immensely! I, too, use acrylic drawers for my cosmetics. I would like to know what your thoughts for brush organization. 🌸🐝
So glad you enjoyed it! For brushes, I have two felt lined dice cups 😂 I like them because the lining is gentle on my brushes, and they don't take up a lot of space. Mine are also black on the outside and red on the inside, which feel very Christian Louboutin despite the cups being so cheap! 💕
You should give the Tower 28 brown mascara. Performs like a MUCH higher end mascara.
I've heard great things! I'll have to have a look. Thanks for the recommendation!
Brows! yes I got thick brow hairs. Before buying anything, try some hair conditioner on your brows when washing your face, apply/rinse. Then go back to your brow gel and evaluate. Not enough? I'd say looking at a wax, or a hold humidity hair product on a spoolie. If you want luxury brow wax, Chanel's brow compact, it comes with little tools. But also experiment at the chemist, places like Boots have options. Non-alcohol humidity hair gel on a spoolie might work, hold spray, even hair waxes or mustache wax on a spoolie. I like a day off for my brows and use a balm on them, like Jones Road Au Naturel, or a Chanel balm stick.
You're an expert! Love all these tips. Never heard of the hair conditioner trick! Thanks so much for sharing.
This was so satisfying! Do you have a video on all of your Surratt blushes?
I am so happy you found this satisfying! I don’t have a specific video dedicated to them, but I swatch all of them in my previous declutters! I can always do a video showing them all on my face as well ❤️
@@bornblushing thanks! I will definitely watch your prior declutters! I’m planning to make my first Surratt purchase and can’t narrow down which colors I want- they are all so pretty!
@@meepmoopmeep1 Ohhh trust me, I understand the dilemma! It's how I ended up with so many. Let me know which you end up choosing!
Hi! Great video! I like the kosas clear brow gel and air brow (have used the benefit as well and like kosas better). If you’re looking for something to make them stay in place the refy brow wax is also good! I’d also try and Tower 28 mascara in brown, great at lengthening.
Hi Shelby! So glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for your recommendations! I’ll definitely check out the Kosas gel and Tower 28 mascara! 💕
With you to the end😂🎉❤
You’re the best, Mina! Glad to know I wasn’t talking into the void there 😂
@@bornblushing absolutely not😜
Only half way but I agree with the Lh cosmetics palette. I love the formula but the eyeshadows colors are sook difficult! You inspire me!
Such a shame about the colours because the formula is so lovely! I just can never really make them work!
I am using the ABH clear brow gel. It works for me and my brows stay in plays. It doesn't lay down too much product. But everyone has different brows... I heard a lot of good things about the NYX brow glue. A lot of different people seem to really like it
You're not the first person to mention the NYX brow glue to me now, so I'm very curious to try that one! I've tried ABH's Brow Freeze in the past, and unfortunately it didn't last all day on me despite being a great product. Thank you for your recs!
Happy to have found your channel. Have you tried the thrive tubing mascara? Not volumizing but no smudge basically waterproof but so easy to remove. Is the siscely one cry proof?
Hi! I haven't tried the Thrive Tubing Mascara, but you're not the first person to mention it to me, so it must be good! I can't comment on whether the Sisley one is cry-proof. I can remove it VERY easily, but it never smudges or flakes and is so volumizing without being clumpy. I definitely prefer volume over length or curl, so it's hard to find a replacement for it! Thanks so much for your comment and recommendation 💕
Sometimes in these pot shadows the oils sunk to the bottom with time. So, maybe you can try mixing the Chanel shadow with a spatula or smt before purchasing a new one! I reviewed some of my cream shadows that way. It also works for mac paint pots once they start to dry!
That’s a great idea! Thank you so much for the tip! I’ll have to see if it works with my Mac paint pot as well!
You may have trouble finding a replacement for the Chanel Undertone ... I've been looking for it unsuccessfully since purchasing the bronze patina.
Oh my goodness - you are right! I just checked online as well and how truly heartbreaking that it’s out of stock everywhere! I will be using it up until it’s all gone in that case! I’ll let you know if I ever come across it in stock again. It’s such a glorious shade!
❤❤❤
💕💕💕
That is the first declutter I've seen where you don't have a suitcase full of every product, and end up with half a suit case of every product!! When would they possibly use it?? Your palettes are actually Used, and not just one slight dimple in one shade on a 36 pan palette! A nice neat layout in the clear case. I have to admit, I have 4 draws, twice as deep, with dividers and a lipstick holder sitting on the top, but I use all the different colours, and I do declutter from time to time, usually just a lipstick here, or a shadow there, same as you, I just don't use that colour any more... tastes change....or I have bought something new and it has the colours I use, so I can get rid of a couple of palettes that I just use one shade from, I've even pulled out the one shade I like and put it together with one shade I like from another palette and given the rest of it away and make up my own little palette of favourites 😍 😊
Hi Lynette! Thanks so much for your comment. I'm really glad you enjoyed this declutter! It's so true; our tastes change and that really can influence what we keep or get rid of! Creating your own palette of favourites is a great way to make the best use of our makeup as well. Thank you for sharing!
Brow products: I hear good things about Kimiko's brow pencil and BBB London's brow gel but can't verify yet. They're not easily available to me.
Thrive Cosmetics makes a nice brown tubing mascara. I've liked it a lot more than other tubing mascaras I've tried.
Thank you so much for the recommendations! I'll have a look into BBB London's brow gel and Thrive's mascara -- you're not the first person to mention that one so it sounds like it's worth a whirl!
This is a wonderful review/ declutter, so few Sisley and Surratt reviews out there. I’m a new follower! Small feedback, the video seems a tiny bit over exposed.
Hello! Very happy to have you here, and I'm glad you enjoyed this declutter. Always excited to connect with other Surratt and Sisley fans. And thank you for the feedback :)
