Do you know how long it takes to collect enough empty products to make it video worthy? A long freaking time. I had a few favorite empties shoved under my bathroom counter but Megan had been collecting for a solid year. Her dry shampoo collection is impressive.
Since shooting this video, I’ve been thinking about how I consume beauty products. I’m embarrassed to admit the number of nail polishes (I bought four new ones this week) and lip glosses I have stashed in cabinets and drawers. And don’t even ask about the 800 (I’m exaggerating, obviously) travel size lotions and body washes I have. But, with a serious addiction to the drug store plus several monthly beauty box subscriptions, I am choking on products. I couldn’t figure out how Megan had so many empties compared to mine but I realized it’s because I have so many of the same thing that I don’t ever get around to finishing one item – unless, of course, I REALLY love it.
Truth is, I think a MAJOR DECLUTTER video and blog post is in order!

What’s the one product you buy over and over again? Or are you more like me and never finish anything?
That’s a really good question. I’m really hooked on Boscia face products / skin care line right now and I have a funny feeling I am going to continue buying them into next season.
Definitely a Wendy – always something new and ooh maybe better and ooh! Shiny! ?
Hahaha – I have so many bottles of products tucked in my bathroom and closet. It’s insane! Many of the products you’re showing are some of my favorites as well.
I tend to buy whatever is on sale. I rarely find something that I think is above and over the top.
Beauty products are a must for me too. Can you imagine how much we spend in a year on them? Wow. Good work here.
I never save my empties, but your video totally has me wanting to now. They are each like a little trophies of accomplishment.
