Spring Cleaning: Customize, Simplify and Organize!

Spring cleaning is always a chore, but I've got some helpful hints to make your Makeup Spring Cleaning simple and rewarding!

• Collect all of your makeup items and put them in a pile. Remember, clean out your gym bag, totes, bathroom drawers and purses (including free gifts from cosmetic counters, even bags). Dump all of your cosmetics onto a table.

• Overview your makeup. (For some, this will take longer than others, like myself!)
• Foundation, Concealer, Powder, Eye Shadow, Powder and Cream Blush, Moisturizer, Sunscreen and Face Cream only has a shelf life of 2 years. Discard any makeup items over 2 years old.
• Lipstick, Lip and Eye Pencils only have a shelf life of 12 to 18 Months. Discard any makeup items over 12 to 18 months old.
• Mascara and Eye Cream only have a shelf life of 6 months. Discard any makeup items over 6 months old.
• Now that you've discarded some items, you're ready to overview what's left on your table. Group your makeup into categories that fit your lifestyle.

• Collections: Lips; lipstick, lip liners, lip gloss, lip balms. Eyes; Eye Cream, Corrector, Concealer, Cream Eye Shadow, Eye Shadow, Brow Color and Pencils, Eye Liner and Mascara. etc.
  
• Or, group your items by style. (purse, gym, office, special occasions)
• Now it's time to discard old gym bags, purses and cosmetic bags themselves. If they're still decent quality, but you're sick of looking at them, give them to friends or Goodwill. Throw away old makeup bags that cannot be given away and replace them with free gift cosmetic bags from your favorite cosmetic counters. Still have some gift bags left over? Save them. They'll come in handy.

I'm sure you might have a few more items left that are unwanted. These are items that you can give away to friends, or in my case, my sister. (She goes shopping in my bathroom closet) The only item I would not recommend giving away is Mascara if it's been used. Use one of your free gift bags to collect the items. it's like double prizes!

Still having trouble getting organized? Come see me at the Bobbi Brown Counter and I'll help you Customize, Simplify and Organize your makeup. We have palettes to customize your lifestyle!
