I started keeping an inventory of all my makeup and that helped me really understand how much product I own. For me, just seeing the numbers alone will stop me from making any unnecessary purchases
Bryan Chen what a great idea! I am going to do the same thing! 🙌🏻
@@Risamama-1 starting the inventory might be a bit of a drag, but maintaining it is fairly easy! I also put in the date of purchase, so I know when I've had a makeup product for too long
That could be a good idea for me.
I did that as well -- and then calculated the cost (not including the masses of things that have already been decluttered). THAT was an eye opener & tear jerker. So whenever I want to purchase a new thing, I open my spreadsheet, look at the numbers & usually it is enough to deter the purchase urge.
I agree! I did this with my lipsticks and was totally overwhelmed by how many I have as well as how many similar shades I own! I have not bought any lipsticks since I did that!
These tips are so helpful! I especially the love the tip about changing the background color of the palette. That really tends make a difference for me! 💗
Another tip. Ask yourself: do you want to buy it because it's pretty or because you will look pretty wearing it?
What I mean by that if you wear warm shades and do not look good in cooler tones, skip the Sultry palette (I did!). If you look your best in cooler or neutral tones, skip the very warm palettes (e.g. Zoeva Cocoa Blend or Opulence). If you only wear basic neutrals, skip the rainbow coloured palette. And so on. *Makeup is to be worn, not to be looked at in the packaging.* If you realistically do not wear certain colours (either because they do not suit you or you do not like them) or they make you look sick - skip the makeup in these colors, no matter how pretty the makeup piece as a thing is.
Good tip!!
So true!! There's often palettes I think look beautiful but I've realized now that I always stick with neutrals. I'll admire rainbow/colorful palettes but won't buy them since I won't use them.
Very smart, that's why I don't buy lots of palettes those days~
Great tips thanks so much 😊😘
Good one. But sometimes you get surprised when you step outside your comfort zone or you can warm up or cool down a look by comparing two palettes. But if it is just to try out, check for a decent quality dupe from the drugstore. Or maybe I'm a lost case 🤣
Project panning is the most effective way to curb your makeup spending, imo.. it really makes you see how long it will take you to use up products.. it doesn't always work when you watch other people do project pans because the way you use makeup might be different and it could take you longer to use up the same product..
For me project panning takes away all the excitement out of the make up process.
mmmkkk987 agreed. It helps so much with my perception of makeup and saves money. We need to hold ourselves more responsible for the things we buy especially financially and environmentally. We can’t keep chasing the excitement of new new new all the time coz there’s always gonna be something new and better the industry’s hype about.
so true, I've never done a proper project pan, but I've only owned a single bronzer for about 2 years now and I only hit pan on it a month ago.
I have way too many eyeshadow palettes. I feel like they are the “shiny objects” of the makeup world and become something people want to collect, forgetting that they are a consumable product. I realized after a few months of wanting everything new and making some mistakes that I can find similar shades to almost anything in my collection - at least the ones that I will ACTUALLY wear. Pretty but not something I will use is wasteful for me. (For example, I like neutrals but won’t buy the Tati palette because I would never wear those glitters. Too many shades wasted.). Great video!
I think when it comes to eyeshadow palettes in particular an inventory of every shade is helpful too, if you know you already have 20 midtoned browns, 10 golds, 10 rosegolds and 5 blacks in your collection, it's easier to say no to a palette that contains those shades as well. It's also easier to see the "holes" in your collection and so you can maybe invest in some singles to complete what's missing. Something like temptalia's vanity is great, it shows you dupes within your collection and wishlist items.
Great tip, Pia!
Project panning helped me realise how much I do NOT need another brown shadow. I noticed this with a lot of youtubers as well they would pick out a brown shade to pan and absolutely dread it.
Yes girl!!
Your background is so pleasing and soothing...also love you😺...please show your fur babies more if you can...your content is so original...you truly stand out from the boring norm we've come to expect
like for Kelly's fur babies!
Thank you, Kelly!
I looooooooove your channel, smart consumerism, saving money, creative ideas, curated collection. n.n I really enjoy it,
I usually buy singles that have their own packaging. I like 1-2 shadow looks, so it's not unpractical for me. Sure, it's not the most cost-efficient if you look at price per shadow, but usually singles have a lot more product in them.
I can use up only 1-2 pans worth of eyeshadow a year, which means I wouldn't be able to finish an entire palette before it goes bad anyway.
Also by buying singles I don't accumulate too much stuff. Instead, I can get new ones several times a year if I want to. so my eyeshadow collection starts to feel fresh and exciting again :)
I think singles are a great investment!
Have you ever considered doing single pans instead? It saves so much packaging and they are a lot cheaper. 😊
@@BelleStreetBoyz It doesn't really save that much packaging if you think about it. Singles also come in plastic boxes. It's also more convenient for me since I take one single with me when I'm traveling, so I don't need a whole Z-palette type product for at least 9 shadows. 😊
Thank you for this!!! I had one in my cart for the Sephora sale that I really didn't need.
YES thank you ! It also seems like every youtuber I watch is dropping a collection or a collab at the same time right now... I know that can be harder to resist because you feel like you need to "support" and seeing them constantly posting about the subscribers who bought it on instagram kind of makes me feel like I'm missing out.. but remember that we are supporting them simply by watching their videos (/ads) and interacting with them. Sadly I physically can't buy merch or products from every youtuber I like, that would be crazy haha. I also say that especially after the Shane and Jeffree collab, I've seen so many people say "I don't ever wear makeup but I need the palette because I want to support Shane/Jeffree" or something like that and it kind of makes me sad. I mean who knows it might awaken a new passion for some people but in general it just seems like a big waste of money
Thank you for this. You're a true gem of a channel
I do the first thing with clothes as well. Especially if it’s an expensive item I see it wait a week and then go back for it if I am still thinking of it.
This. Sometimes I even wait till it goes on sale. While I don't mind paying the full price, if its not something I need immediately I'll wait. 😂
NEEDED THIS THANK U ILY
Do Not fall for FOMO. Companies hype up releases for a reason.... to get you excited to buy it even if you do not need it. If you have something similar, do not buy it.
I buy looxi single eyeshadows instead for colors i do not have
Same! Singles have definitely been the way to go for me. I have pretty much every shade of eyeshadow I could ever need or want, and because of that I'm never tempted by palettes. And if I do realize there's a hole in my collection for a look I want to try, I can just buy that one special shade for like $5! I love it. 💜
I also never get limited edition items. Limited edition just bugs me, I don't know why.. lol
I unsubscribe from trendmood and many other accounts. I realize that I was using my phone only for makeup news. That helps a lot, I understand the person running trensmood is just giving us what is coming soon. But she comments a lot on how she loves the products, every single time, I don't know if people realize that she gets everything for free. For me a whole year of no buy was not possible, but I am now doing 12 weeks year no buy. I got this idea from Whitney Hedrick here on youtube. What I mean by this is that we need to find what work for us. 💚💚💚💚
Yoandra Maceda I can only no buy for the same amount of time, like 3 months. So that’s what I do followed by a month of freedom and then I step back into my no buy...usually, lol.
Totally agree with you about duping a palette with single eye shadows. Would be great to see a video on duping the new holiday released palettes. Need one for the New Huda mercury retrograde palette!
Awesome tips! I have made mini palettes from my singles (and depotted a couple of palettes) and found that I can say no to most new palettes as I know I already have the shades. You have done this in some shop your stash videos and it was really inspiring! Thanks for the great insight!
There are two palettes I really want. The UD Born to Run and ABH Soft Glam. They have been out for a while so I know I actually want them, but the question is if I will use them. Soft Glam is easier to use than Born to Run because It’s all neutrals, but Born to Run still calls to me.
Born to Run is sooo good. If I were you, I would grab it at 1/2 off. Soft Glam is also very nice, but not as versatile.
I have both palettes, and I really like them. Each one is different with it's own personality. So, you won't be duplicating any colors. You can either wait for a sale, or you can get dupes from Ccolor Cosmetics - www.ccolorcosmetics.com/collections/eyes?page=1 - if the price of the OGs is a bit much for you. Their "Around the World" palette is their Born To Run dupe, and "Prestige" is their Soft Glam dupe. The reviews have been very good for Ccolor products. There are videos reviewing Around the World, but I don't know if there are any for Prestige. I have a couple of their palettes myself and am satisfied with them. HTH! ~Anastacia in Cleveland
@@AnastaciaInCleveland YES! Sometimes that's all I need to wait, researching lower-cost but effective dupes of an expensive palette. Don't fool yourself, though, if you're like me, that just because it costs less you're tempted to buy MORE (different colours, collections)... I'm sitting here watching videos before I throw on some sweats and hit the Sephora sale at my localshop, lol!
@@kimberygraf5404 Yes, it is a temptation to buy more when it costs less! 🙂 If I am not interested in the original, then I don't buy its dupe. If I am on the fence about something, I watch lots of videos and then see if there is a good dupe. If the dupe doesn't get good reviews, then I don't buy it. Just a few of my buying rules to prevent mindless collecting...
Hello my friend I agree with you on everything that you said about not buying makeup products on this video. I haven’t purchased any makeup in the past two months and it has been a great way to use the makeup products that I already have on my makeup drawers. In the beginning it’s hard for anyone to keep yourself from buying makeup but if you set your mind to achieve this goal it also helps you save money.
"Keeping it Simple w/Bridgette" and Andrea Matilano's channels have great videos up along these lines 👍🏾😉 Thanks for helping us keep the breaks on ✌🏾♥️
I'm such a palette junkie! I recently moved and decluttered 2/3rds of my collection. Palettes are hard for me because I never know which ones the subscribers are going to like. Great video Kelly! And such great tips! thank you! xoxo
I always appreciate these videos you create to remind us all how to reduce our desire for the newest product or palette. I like the single pan solution, but buying better quality also works for me. Knowing I only need a few top shelf products helps to curb my appetite. When I can say to myself, this is so amazing I don’t need another, I stop myself from thinking the next thing on the market might be better and it’s only $.. .., so I can afford it. I can’t tell you the amount of money I’ve wasted on drugstore products that were hyped as just as good as midrange to premium brands.
Loved this video one thing I’ve started doing is keeping a list through out the year of palettes that come out that I think I want when they come out and wait until holiday sales or the best yearly sales and waiting for when I hit a certain quantity of points at ulta or Sephora and then go back and look at those palettes using most of the methods you discussed and then decide what to purchase unless it’s a limited action palette that I absolutely know I don’t have and will use plus waiting to put all the palettes through the year in one cart really helps me see how many I’m looking at and how much I’m actually going to be sending added up together
I feel personally attacked by the thumbnail and title! 😅🙈 I really want to buy a lot less palettes in 2020 so thanks for the tips.
Hehe thanks for watching!
Kelly Gooch 😄
Yup! I bought 8 this year and that’s soooo much lower than years past. Hoping to keep it 6 or less next year. Could I buy zero? Yes lol but it would make me sad
kelly 8 Good job! 8 palettes for the year is a nice number! Andrea Matillano bought one palette each month in 2019 (on top of getting PR of course). I think I may try 10 palettes for all of 2020 and lower it in the following years if possible.
Great timing for such video, Kelly👍❤
On several not rare occasions I was sure someone's eyelook was done with particular palette and that wasn't it👍 It shows that you can achieve similar looks with what you already have and also panning some products is great practice. I stopped worrying to run out of eyeshadow and keep backups only for eyebrows👍
Great point, Alice!
Your channel is growing so much! Exciting!
Thank you :)
yay! needing all the no-buy/low-buy inspo i can get at the moment!
I'm glad that this came at a good time :)
Appreciate your practicality perspective..its made me utilize my what i already have just scale back..its amazing what you can pan and use up!
Thank you!
Great tips! I haven't bought in 5 years but I still get tempted occasionally. You mentioned a few things I hadn't thought of. I will be sharing this video on our Facebook Make Up Use It Up group! ♥ Elle
Wow that is impressive!
Pulling from different palettes is definitely a good tip. I’m more of the mindset to use one for a day, but I’m finding if I use shimmers from a different palette it can really change the look. The combination makes it a little more fresh. And when you said panning a bronzer, it made me think of the Marc Jacobs one I’m working through😂 I’ll never need another one again! Have a good one Kelly!
Hahah yes, bronzers can take SO long to go through!!
i love how unique this video is and how you continually take advice from ur subscribers when it comes to video ideas!
I truly love your tips. I am going to get them written down for my makeup and skincare so I know what I have and what I really need and what I want. ❤❤❤
Great video Kelly! I definitely would say lip products are my weakness and where I need to be more conscious of my spending 💓
Lip products are a weakness for me too!
Hello I agree with you guys whenever I go to the store I love to see all the newest lipstick color releases and this makes you to want to purchase more products but then I remind myself that I already have those colors at home. And most of them are similar to the lipstick colors that I already have in my makeup drawers. I used to buy makeup products impulsively but later you realize that you are spending your money on items that you already have.
I'm finding your videos very helpful! my financial situation has recently changed so I'm kind of on a forced to know why. And this helps me to feel less deprived
Thank you for all these tips❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for watching!
I have decided I will no longer buy curated palettes and stick with singles. I have discovered I gravitate to the same color story with most of my palettes with those pops of color to make it seem different. My plan is to make a single shadow wishlist, as more palettes come out, and at the end of 3 months buy the colourpop “build your own palette” option.
That is a great plan!
Great video Kelly! You were so well spoken and really articulated these important options in an easy to understand manor!! I love seeing more people bring this topic up 💗
Keeping a picture of my palettes help me decide what shades I own a ton of and what shades could be a nice addition, this helps avoid duplication. Also I started panning, it gave me a better idea of how long it actually takes to use up an item🤦🏻♀️
I also wait at least a month or 2 before buying a palette, this gives more time for as much reviews as possible to come out and for me to find out if i REALLY like this palette or not.
Also sometimes I sit down and have a swatch party where I match shades that I never used together before so I can have new looks out of what I own. (Like you said I ALWAYS mix and match between my palettes, it will change how you look at your collection completely!)
Omg yes, I needed this! I'm pretty good with my shopping especially since I won't be working until mid-December while on school break. I definitely didn't want the Tati palette originally but after seeing people post about it I want it, but I don't need it and I have talked myself out of it. I pretty much only buy things on special occasions!
It is true. She made a nice palette, but all these colours you can find in your old palettes 😊
I do a similar thing to covering the colours. I count the colours in any palette that I am interested in, then figure out what percentage of the palette I actually want. If it’s below 85% it leaves my wishlist forever.
I feel like this could apply to me. I try to wait on things too. I also suggest angie's video about her low buy. I think I'm starting to see the duping method. Very helpful tips. I think also not buying stuff just for the packaging, I fall victim to that.🤣
A very wise video, Kelly, and one I definitely needed to see, thanks for making it! 👍
Thank you so much for posting this video. Now that Sephora VIP sale is here, I have been looking at all the makeup online. Your video reminded me that I don't NEED anything and should shop my stash instead. Thank you! 💗💗💗
If i'm doing everyday makeup I'm absolutely not interested in having to dip into multiple palettes, but if i'm following a tutorial or doing my makeup to go out in i'll use whatever palettes i have to get the right colours.
You just showed up in my suggested videos and I watched this one video and I wonder you have been in my life! I subscribed instantly and look forward to having the time to go through your video collection. Great video!
Love this video so much! Recently i've been soo compulsive with buying makeup palettes that i don't need without really using much of what I have! Project pans are such a good idea! 👌🏻
I am currently on a no buy and this video totally hit home with me when you spoke about covering up shadows to see if we still love the palette. My last palette purchased was the ABH Jackie Aina palette. I had no interest in it really even though my favorite formula is ABH but when I saw it in person, I was mesmerized by 2 shades, (especially the shade "trust issues") . If I had done this when I saw the palette, I would not have purchased it LOL...Thank you for pointing out these great tips!
That eye look 😍😍😍
I have a virtual vanity on Temptalia and every time a new palette comes out, I use the check for dupes in vanity function and dupe it out easily that way. Sometimes I’ll end up buying a single shadow if I don’t have a dupe for a shade I like.
I'm doing a low buy and a project pan and what actually is occurring to me is that I don't even want to buy or wear much makeup anymore the less I wear the more comfortable I am without it I've basically decided to do a tinted moisturizer, a lip and maybe a concealer for under eye shadows and possibly a eyeliner on my bottom lids I'm just going to get eyelash extensions and my brows done but that's it my boyfriend has really helped me get over my insecurities.
I just get the single eyeshadow like color pop. I only use one shade in the bigger pallets and the rest don’t fit my complexion. It is also cheaper and easier to pack while going on trips
The first tip is so relatable to me. For example, I really liked the volume 1 of the new norvina anastasia beverly hills palette but I can't buy it (because it's really expensive). I really loved that palette so much when it released and now I wouldn't purchase it even if I had the money.. I just think to wait is so wise because that initial excitment can go away and u may not use it as much as you initially thought you would
What works for me is looking at the feeling an order will give me before I place it, I never impulse buy anymore and usually let something sit in my cart for a few days first before I get to that last part, if there’s any type of guilt it’s a no and if it would just bring me joy it’s a yes. If I’d feel guilty there’s something not right with the purchase, whatever the reason is, too much money, more of the same, money that can better be spent on something else, spending just to spend, not enough nice colors to justify the purchase, following a hype, etcetera, if the feeling I get is negative it’s not worth it.
Thanks for the tips Kelly! Personally, I only have 3 palettes and 1 mini lol. I’m not really an eyeshadow gal 😂 Plus I’m on a no buy since August 👍🏼
Great video... I really needed it. Thank you
Thanks, Heidi!
such good advices thank youuuu kelly
I'm glad that it was helpful!!
I started a project pan because of you 😊
Yay! Let me know how it goes!
I love your nails. 😻
Please tell me what is the name of the color you are wearing on your nails, and what is the brand if you know it? Also, is it a gel color?
I've been on a no buy for 2 months now. It has totally changed my view. I'm using everything up, so I'm not being wasteful and I'm saving money! I am so tempted with this Sephora sale though, but I'm not giving in!
YES!! A no-buy can be so valuable!
My biggest tip is to unfollow a huge chunk of all the beauty stuff on social media. Only follow the channels you feel connected to and actually watch 3/4 videos. Don’t follow brands on social media. I only follow Beauty News to stay up to date and that’s fine by me now. Also delete the damn apps! Don’t have the Sephora or Ulta apps on your phone tempting you.
This video is so helpful , since I'm on a low buy , only buying what it is really needed. There is alot of items i want but only buying 2 items on sephora sale . Love the video ❤❤❤
You go girl!!
Try to dupe it.
I try to dupe palettes in my head by remembering what I have but my brain image is not as accurate as I think. I NEED to sit down and try to dupe it by swatching and comparing, the exercise guarantees that I will correctly point out the ones I am missing
I watched a video once where the girl went to Sephora and swatched a full palette on her arm and then went home with them on her arm and looked for dupes in her stash. I was watching like, "THIS LADY IS A GENIUS!" lol 👏😂
I totally agree. Maybe in your country is not so popular but in mine buying in aliexpress, especially clothes. It is nonsense. We all work to have a better planet and people buy 1000 of clothes. I would understand if it is a good quality but in 80% is really bad 😭😢
I have 20 palettes plus 2 filled with singles and I feel like I don't need anymore eyeshadow honestly I have a lot of colors and only 2 eyes! But for some reason eyeshadow is my 'makeup weakness'. Palettes always catch my eye, go on wishlists, and I'm not an impulsive shopper, but it will be months later and I am still wanting these palettes. There are releases from ND, CP, and Nabla that I've had saved for awhile. I've been waiting for the 'right' release from Dominique Cosmetics and now there's Tati's brand and I think her palette is stunning. I guess it's good that I'm waiting, but I also wish I would stop wanting stuff 😅
Loved this! Great tips, thank u!!!
Your hair looks gorgeous! 😍
I loved everything about this video!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
I am always panning my makeup. I have 1 day a week where I update on my channel how much I used through the week. I also have a 1 day shopping my stash for a day of fun so I can use something different for a day! Pallettes take a long time to use up.
Do you have a single that could be a dupe for that matte sea foam green looking one in the Muerte palette coming out by Melt? I want the whole palette but I can get singles to pass for most of the shades... just can’t find that sea foam color 😓
Unfortunately, I don't :( I would look into Looxi or Devinah though! They both have unique shades!!
Try looking at Sydney Grace. I have a matte sea foam green from them, but I’m not 100% sure if it’s available because I haven’t been on their site for a while.
Maybe you could mix colors in your palettes??
Sydney Grace has a couple seafoam-y shades that might work for you. 😊
I love your new hair color 👍❤
I can't stop buying eyeshawdow pallete. I have so much eyeshadow and so less base makeup
Loved this!
I feel silly making this comment because I am accountable for my own choices and purchasing habits. I just feel like I give myself every excuse to purchase something. I purchased several items because I wanted to try out the formula. I purchased a palette because it would be good to pan next year. I purchased items because they are cruelty free. I purchased items because they were on sale. Give me a reason and I will justify that darn purchase. I had one palette two years ago. I have forty today. My no buys last a day. I will keep trying. I graduated college with honors. This isn’t a difficult concept. Rant over. 😩
Becky Morrow Try making a budget or an item limitation per month!
RobinTisABird My husband would appreciate that, since the UPS guy waves at me. We seem to be friends. He comes our house, quite often. 💁
Becky Morrow 😂🤣
I needed this video
For me it works visualizing the looks I could do with the palette, which ocasions I would wear them for, which first impression I would be giving by wearing it, and even if my wardrobe would support those looks or clash with them. Since I'm in the process of making my wordrobe all natural fiber and sustainably produced, but maintaining a classic and professional style, it's taking away a lot of unviable looks. 🤷
That is a great tip!!
As much as I love makeup, I'm also a thrifty person, so I tend to wait for a sale to buy new makeup. By the time a decent sale comes up, the hype has died and more reviews have come out, and I've probably already moved on.
So this kind of goes hand in hand with just simply waiting lol
I was able to dupe the new Lunar palette and that stopped me from buying it. Why do I like it? I have it a dozen times over! I need a no buy. Gearing up for 2020. Even just 6 months of replacement only...
I gave up on myself at this point. 😂
❤❤
Feeling personally attacked rn
Stop watching Haul videos on YT!!
this won't help me stop lmao
