It’s super rare! Usually, if it’s still brand new and unused, then it might still be in its original box! My house would have to be wallpapered with original packaging if I kept it all 😂
Yes, definitely some bits and bobs! I’d say it’s more fragrance and some press kits that are more on display than actual makeup items, but I also have some high-end brushes in cups on my dresser.
I use Dr. Bronners’ liquid soap — one part soap to two or three parts water (usually more soap for foundation brushes). I usually group brushes by brush head, and then for smaller brushes, I’ll get soap and water on the bristles, swirl in my hand, and gently reshape. I leave them to dry on a...

For me, I can’t imagine it’ll be that different. I have been focusing a little more on eyes and not worrying as much if I am hitting my “quota” on lip products to some degree, but I haven’t dialed down lip product purchases in general (there have always been an excess amount that I can’t...
