Do I have too much of a good thing?
Only one way to find out! I turned minimalist in this makeup experiment, packing only the bare "necessities" in my makeup bag as I traveled for a couple of months. Did I like the experience? Do I want to downsize and simplify my makeup? Or did I miss the rest of my maximalist collection while I was gone? How did this minimalist experiment change my attitude towards my cosmetics? And what will that mean for the future of my collection?

♡ About the channel:
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!
