I was discussing with the SO that I wanted to do a 12 Days of Christmas post today (there’s only 12 more days til Christmas omg!) and he said, “Why don’t you do 12 days of stuff you’re going to throw out?” Half jokingly. HALF! But actually it was a fantastic idea! So, today I present to you: The 12 Days of Purge-mas! [sung to the tune of 12 Days of Christmas]
On the First day of Purge-mas, I may throw out these:
• A palette that’s lonely
On the Second day of Purge-mas, I may throw out these:
• Two lash curlers
• And a palette that’s lonely
On the Third day of Purge-mas, I may throw out these:
• Three face creams
• Two lash curlers
• And a palette that’s lonely
[I won’t force to you sing through ALL the verses, so here’s all twelve verses together]
On the Twelfth day of Purge-mas, I may throw out these:
• Twelve lipsticks turning
• Eleven nail polishes drying
• Ten brushes too many
• Nine concealers wasted
• Eight gooey lip glosses
• Seven liners hardening
• Six foundations separating
• Five MASCARAS!
• Four highlighters
• Three face creams
• Two lash curlers
• And a palette that’s lonely
Hope you enjoyed this rendition! 😀 Do you have any decluttering / purging you need to do from your makeup stash?
(these product categories are actual ones that I need to purge from, come January!)

I’m trying to purge my lipstick collection 🙂 love this post. So creative! I did sing it in my head to your lyrics so I appreciated the “MASCARAS!”

I’m going to purge my lipstick / lip gloss collection too! I figured I should keep JUST the ones I use and get rid of the rest – so many are turning bad anyway.
Hehehe I always loved the FIVE GOLDEN RINGS line!

Haha, excellent! I did a purge last week (or the week before). I agree with StyledWithJoy, “Five MASCARAS” (I totally sang it in my head)

Oooh what did you purge? It feels so liberating, doesn’t it? I can’t wait to purge my lip products – I need to start fresh.
I tried my best to match up the lyrics to the song but it was difficult! 😛

Old lipsticks, a couple of crappy mascaras.

Haha! That’s genius! I’m regularly purging my wardrobe but not that often my makeup stash because I try to buy only things I really want or really need… still got 5 mascaras on rotation though :p …maybe I’m going to have a look a these drawers…

I try not to open too many mascaras at once but sometimes it’s so tempting to try new ones! 😛
Actually, I do really need to go through my wardrobe to do a clean out as well!

It’s not that EXACT lipstick but I got a Groupon a while ago for a free lipstick from American Apparel and for some reason I chose the purple lipstick. Needless to say, I never ever wore it. What was I thinking?

Thanks!
It’s funny how attached we get to things, isn’t it? I’m learning to be better with letting go of items I just don’t use. I would rather someone else make use of them!

I’m still in the process of tossing out a bunch of beauty products. Lately I’ve been reading a book that explains a certain way of how to get rid of unwanted stuff. I’m hoping to finish it before the year ends.
