Weekly capsule makeup

Like a lot of beauty bloggers, whether they have 12 followes all 120k followers we all have that one thing in common.....we own alot of beauty stuff!! 

My collection has dramatically reduced from last year and i am now so happy with my collection. Of course i will still be purchasing alot of products but i think more about what i want and don't just purchase it because it's all over instagram.

But i still have more makeup then the average human being needs, so this year i have been doing a weekly makeup capsule inspired by Anna from theannaedit, to start actually using my products. 

It has to start though with a major clearout and being brutal with yourself, asking yourself when did you last wear this? Do you actually like this colour? Etc! Once you have got rid of everything you can then it's time to start organising your makeup. 

So this is where the weekly capsule comes into light, i pick an item from every category of makeup to use that week, so one foundation, bronzer, blush, highlight and eyeshadow etc (you get the idea) when it comes to lip products i choose on how many days i am working that week so normally 4-5 lip products a week. And by doing this weekly you are starting to use everything you own and you will discover old favourites and maybe even get rid of more items as your using them and realising they don't work for you.  

A personal favourite of doing the capsule is when i recieve new products to try i put them in the weekly box so i can really try them out at that week at work whether its a foundation and testing its longevity or seeing if a new lipstick colour suits me. Also it helps not having to decide every morning before work what makeup i'm going to wear today which can take up to half hour in itself. This is something i really enjoy putting together each week and maybe you should give it a go and see if it helps you.
