The "putter declutter" of my makeup continues: which blush will have to go? And which ones are gold nuggets?
I'm PANNING FOR GOLD! (a.k.a. systematically curating my cosmetics with a project pan). Today I'm reporting back about my experience comparing my Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Concealer Stick against my Couleur Caramel concealer, and my Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder against my Estee Lauder Lucidity Transluscent Pressed Powder.
I use this project to find the best of the best, a.k.a. the gold nuggets of my makeup collection! How? I pair cosmetics with similar claims so that I can do head-to-head comparisons. I try to wear every pair at least 10 times to find the nuances between products. And each time I strike gold, I report back. The gold nuggets get to stay, but if something turns out to be "fool's gold", it will get passed on to a new home. So... what will remain after this round of PANNING FOR GOLD?

How does one develop a sense of style? And how can we do it sustainably – both financially and environmentally? By enjoying and creatively using what we already have. By streamlining those things with thoughtful declutters. By developing awareness of how we use our stuff to encourage wiser decisions about the cosmetics, clothing and any other items we purchase. Sounds simple, but it's easier said than done. I've certainly been stumbling my way through it – let's stumble in style together!
