What happens when you build a makeup bag by shopping your stash as if your happiness depended on it?
This month’s theme is Remember September – a challenge to rediscover older products instead of chasing the newest releases. I’m shopping my stash for everything from foundation to the Natasha Denona Lila palette and Benefit Hoola bronzer. Some of these choices make me excited… others make me nervous. But that’s the point: remembering can be more powerful than buying.
Stick around for my GRWM videos and the follow-up review at the end of the month, where I’ll share how these products performed – and whether remembering really feels better than shopping.

In this video, I explore the messy truth about consumption — and why intentionality matters more than numbers.
We’ll look at the difference between low consumption and intentional consumption, why our relationship with stuff shifts over time, and how small tools (like the container concept) can help us enjoy what we already have.
Topics in this video: • Why shopping can feel like self-soothing • The “why behind the buy” • How the container concept sets healthy boundaries • When intentionality = less… and when it actually = more • Applying intentional consumption beyond our kryptonite categories
If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting things during a no-buy, or wondered whether “low consumption” is the only goal, this video is for you.

Full description: Ever wondered how abundance turns into overwhelm? Let’s talk SASS — Stuff Accumulation Syndrome Syndrome. This parody diagnosis is funny, but the truth behind it is real: why do we keep buying more when we already have plenty?
In this video, I confess to owning 17 Tom Ford eyeshadow quads for one tiny face and explore what maximalism really means. Is it just about having more stuff… or about maximizing joy with what we already own?
We’ll cover: ✨ The thrill (and heartbreak) of abundance ✨ Kryptonite categories we can’t stop collecting ✨ The Adagio Mindset™ — slowing down to enjoy what sings ✨ A “Future Self Reality Check” for intentional buying
Maximalism doesn’t have to mean drowning in clutter. It can mean living in abundance you actually savor.

A $980 vanity? LV’s first makeup launch is… a lot. Pat McGrath partnered with La Beauté Louis Vuitton – and the results are jaw-dropping, both visually and financially. But this video isn’t just a breakdown of products. It’s a deep dive into pricing, prestige, and why our brains short-circuit when beauty becomes luxury. We’ll unpack the collection, the cases, the hype, and the history — and ask: is it indulgence, identity… or just marketing?

In this video, I weigh whether to repurchase my beloved Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base or “cheat” with one of the many tempting alternatives you recommended. From luxury splurges like Sisley and Tatcha to practical picks like Embryolisse and even drugstore dupes, I’m putting the dilemma under the microscope.
We’ll talk about: • Why my skin changed (thanks, perimenopause) and primer actually started to matter. • The advice, product tips, and wisdom I received from my viewers and patrons. • How to tell when sticking with what works makes sense… and when it’s worth exploring something new.
📌 Creators mentioned: @HebaS @sampsdoesmakeup was the patron kind enough to share primer pictures with us 💛

📌 Links to my style profiles: Instagram: instagram.com/thestylestumbler TikTok: tiktok.com/@thestylestumblerI Tried Aesthetic Minimalism. It Was A Beautiful NightmareThe Style Stumbler2025-08-14 | When my “minimalism experiment” turned into lemon juggling, Target conspiracies, and a house staged like a museum, I realized… this wasn’t the peace I signed up for. In this episode of The Adagio Sessions, I’m sharing the hilarious, frustrating, and surprisingly eye-opening lessons I learned from trying aesthetic minimalism — and how it reshaped the way I think about beauty, home, and the stuff I choose to keep.
We’ll talk about: • Why staged perfection feels calm at first — and claustrophobic later • The difference between minimalism as an aesthetic vs. a lifestyle • How to “Pan for Gold” and decide what truly earns its space in your home or makeup bag • Finding balance between convenience, creativity, and calm
If you’ve ever been tempted by minimalist design, struggled with clutter, or wondered how to curate a home (or beauty collection) you actually love using, this video is for you.

Around here, we try not to rush to the next trend – we move Adagio.

📌 Links to my style profiles: Instagram: instagram.com/thestylestumbler TikTok: tiktok.com/@thestylestumblerYou Don’t Want to Feel Satisfied.The Style Stumbler2025-07-17 | Why don’t we feel satisfied — even after buying the perfect thing? I finally bought the Gucci bronzer I’d wanted for five years… and then I started lusting after a new one almost immediately. In this episode of The Adagio Sessions, we explore why satisfaction is so fleeting, how marketing fuels our sense of lack, and what it actually takes to feel content with what we already have.
Along the way, I’ll unpack the difference between dopamine and serotonin-driven happiness, how the algorithm keeps us hooked on wanting, and how we can start shopping more intentionally — not to deprive ourselves, but to enjoy what we own more deeply.
If you’ve ever felt like you were chasing the next perfect lipstick, bronzer, book, or pair of shoes… only to feel “meh” the second you got it, this one’s for you. Mentioned in this video: • The Adagio Mindset™ – my philosophy of slow, intentional beauty • No-Buy July insights • Gucci bronzer vs. Fara Homidi • Dopamine vs. serotonin in beauty shopping • Why satisfaction might scare us more than we think

Then I Watched the Review Again.The Style Stumbler2025-07-15 | I almost broke my no-buy for the Fara Homidi bronzer. Here’s why I didn’t. The Fara Homidi Essential Bronzer has taken over my feed — and my imagination. After watching a glowing review from a creator I admire, I found myself dangerously close to clicking “add to cart.”
But something in that review made me pause — not because the product was any less appealing, but because I realized how easily we absorb habits, not just recommendations.
In this video, I unpack that moment of clarity, reflect on my ongoing love affair with the Gucci bronzer, and share why swatching what I already own is turning out to be more satisfying than buying something new.

Here’s What Happened.The Style Stumbler2025-07-08 | 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.

Struggling with impulse spending on makeup or other “little luxuries”? In this episode of The Adagio Sessions, I share the single question that transformed my shopping habits—no guilt, just a mindset shift that helped me fall back in love with what I already own.
Whether your weakness is lipstick, shoes, books, bags, or skincare, this question might just change the way you shop forever. If you've ever felt that thrill of the “add to cart” moment… only to forget the purchase two days later, this video is for you.
🪞 Topics we cover: • The question that changed everything • The real scarcity (hint: it’s not product) • How to shop intentionally without deprivation • Learning to lurv what you already have
👁🗨 Next week: I’ll show you how to “shop your stash” and create capsule collections from your own collection—it’s a treasure hunt with no credit card required.

In this video, I walk you through my real-time decision-making process as I try to resist yet another gorgeous makeup launch. From swatch goblin urges to rational reflections, this is an honest look at what happens when beauty lovers try not to buy something.
We talk about: • The new Lisa Eldridge eyeshadow palette & lipsticks • What makes a product tempting • How to tell if something is really unique to your collection • Creating your own DIY dupes • The power of community in resisting impulse buys
Whether you're on a no-buy, a low-buy, or just trying to be a little more intentional, I hope this helps you hit pause before the purchase. And if you did buy it, don't worry—I’ll be living vicariously through you.

🔗 Links to my style profiles: Instagram: instagram.com/thestylestumbler TikTok: tiktok.com/@thestylestumblerWhat Beauty Gurus Could Learn from MusiciansThe Style Stumbler2025-06-05 | Musicians know a secret that changed how I use makeup: adagio. Here's what beauty gurus miss. Our beauty routines have more in common with a symphony than a Sephora sale. In this video, I reveal how the musical concept of ADAGIO – meaning "slow" – completely transformed the way I approach beauty. Spoiler: it's not about having less. It's about enjoying more.
We'll discuss: - The emotional impact of intentional beauty - How overbuying turns joy into overwhelm - Why slowing down reveals the real magic in your collection.
I share my personal story (including a really tragic foundation decision), how I stopped impulse buying, and how this new approach – Adagio Beauty – helped me fall back in love with the makeup I already owned.

In this video, I’m building a minimalist June makeup bag – from foundation to fragrance – to bring clarity, calm, and a little sparkle to my day. As a recovering maximalist, I’m choosing just enough to feel inspired without feeling overwhelmed. This capsule collection is part meditation, part beauty therapy, and entirely Adagio: slower, more intentional, and rooted in loving what you already own. I’ll walk through every product I picked, share tips for reducing decision fatigue, and show how simplifying your routine can feel like a luxury—and maybe even silence your inner makeup monster.

Beauty lovers are starting to notice quiet changes to holy grail products — and behind the scenes, tariffs might be to blame.

If you've ever thought "this doesn't feel the same," you're not imagining it. But maybe it's not all bad! We'll look at the issue from all angles in this video. Maybe tariffs could actually start to mean more innovation, appreciation and intentional indulgence.
