I have been meaning to do this post since early January. However life I feel never goes the way we think it will, and so I am here in September writing this. Better late than never 😊.
Now let me start by saying I am a massive hoarder and love skincare, body care and makeup. Also, there is a lot in my collection. I still want to get my room decorated and in order to do so, and just work through my collection, I decided I wanted to use and track all my skincare, makeup and fragrance empties each month on Instagram and have a separate monthly post on products I am working on.
I challenged myself to use up 121 products throughout the year as we are in 2021. However as it stands in September, I have already used up 176 and we are only halfway through the year 😀, so that’s super exciting! To help me track what to use next and how much stuff I really do have (once again, it’s quite a lot 🙃) I took pictures of all my products, divided them into categories and post them on Instagram. This has nearly been done and it will be great looking back and comparing to the new pictures I’ll take next year and to see how much has been used up. Â
This is a great idea for anyone who has a relatively large collection to do. It can help manage your home space, inventory numbers and so products don’t go off and expire. It’s great for assessing what categories you need to use up more, how many duplicates items you have and gives you the motivation to use the products or remember products you may have forgotten about. Â
Going forward I am planning to do monthly empties on here to give a brief review and share my opinions on the products I’ve used. Â
Hopefully, this might encourage you to assess your own products, not even necessarily skincare related, and utilise this challenge to clear space and keep you on top of things 😊
