Declutter Your Beauty Bag: A Guide to Simplifying Your Products (And Your Life)

Let’s talk beauty clutter—because we’ve all been there.

That drawer full of barely-used palettes, dried-out lipsticks, and products we swore we’d use (but didn’t)? It’s not just taking up space—it’s blocking us from clarity.

Minimalist beauty starts with a clean canvas—and a clean collection. Here’s how to detox your beauty bag in under an hour:

🧴 Step 1: Pull Everything Out Lay it all out. Yes, everything—from the depths of your bag to that “junk” makeup drawer.

🗑️ Step 2: Purge What’s Expired If it smells off, changed color, or is over a year old (especially liquids), it’s got to go.

💄 Step 3: Keep Only the Favorites Ask: Do I love this? Do I use it weekly? Does it still suit my vibe? If the answer is no—it’s a donation or toss.

🧃 Step 4: Go Multi-Use Opt for products that do double duty—like tints that work for lips and cheeks or palettes with both mattes and shimmers.

🎯 Step 5: Store with Intention Use clear pouches, trays, or drawers so you can see what you have. No more forgotten faves!

Minimalist beauty isn’t about having less—it’s about choosing with intention. When you streamline your routine, you also reclaim time, energy, and confidence.
