Can one makeup bag really change how you feel about your routine?
I spent a month using a capsule makeup collection to simplify my life – and it taught me a lot!This wasn’t a challenge or a declutter. It was an easy experiment in slowing down and reconnecting with the products I already own.
In this video, I walk through what I used, what worked, what didn’t, and how this little green makeup bag helped me rediscover a bit of joy in everyday beauty. From a surprisingly emotional lipstick to a mascara I had to finally let go, here’s what happened when I chose less… and paid closer attention.
