I was just discussing makeup and decluttering yesterday with my husband. He was so sweet to participate in the conversation. It was like a power tool conversation for me. My makeup was on point and I felt fabulous. I was telling him that I only wanted to keep makeup that made me feel this way.
I swing between feeling like that and worrying that I might need whatever I might declutter. I do work as an actor, so some products I rarely use might come in handy for certain characters, and I don't get paid enough to have to buy a bunch of new products. Beyond that, I don't really have a lot of people to declutter to, so anything that one or two people might not like would end up being thrown away. And I don't want to add extra to the landfill or throw away something I spent my money on. I have so many complicated feelings about declutters, and makeup in general!
Kelly, I just want to say thank you for answering my question in your last video about young adult life. I ended up breaking up with my boyfriend of 8 years this weekend. Not because we don’t love each other, just because we are not right for each other anymore. It is really painful to realize that someone is not for you when you’ve spent 8 years thinking you would spend the rest of your life with this person. I really appreciated you taking the time to give your advice. Also loved all of the lip switches and declutter. Great quality content as always!
Hi, love! I am so sorry to hear that this is something you're going through. I understand this pain, all too well. I broke up with my boyfriend of seven years, who I was still completely in love with when I left him, for much the same reasons as you did just under a year ago. It's been a difficult year, healing from that pain and learning what I DO want and what type of person WILL BE for me. I say all of this just to say, I'm rooting for you, and I hope everything works out for you!
Kelly makes me smile with the light brown /natural shadow obsession. First in Tartlette Toasted, then the one in Whiskey Business, now in the Kylie Bronze palette. We like what we like and I think that's awesome. 😌
I use a bar of Shea Moisture African Black Soap to clean my brushes. My brushes are mostly white, undyed natural goat hair, so this soap has multiple possible benefits. There are claims that it is antibacterial and antifungal, it conditions the hairs and I can confirm from experience that it has skin bleaching properties (I first used their liquid version of this soap on myself and noticed that my skin was getting lighter; after looking into it I found out about the skin bleaching properties and stopped because I don't want that). Added bonus, it is a natural soap!
I have so many complicated feelings about makeup declutters. I want to be able to get rid of the items I don't use, but I sometimes work as an actor, and I never know what I will need to create a stage makeup look. Beyond that, I don't many people in my life I would feel comfortable giving used makeup to, which means whatever I would declutter would probably end up in the garbage, which I am fine with if a product is just bad and I can't make it work, but would hate if it is fine but just not my favorite. And then whenever I have to throw makeup away, I feel bad because that means I spent my money on something that I didn't do enough research to ensure it works before I bought it. But I love watching makeup declutters because it is so satisfying watching someone streamline their makeup collection.
I do a monthly makeup basket, which includes rotating a brush set, sponges/powder puff. I wash them every weekend, very satisfying 😊. I use Shea Moisture bar soaps to wash everything ✌🏾😉
i love this look so much! that shirt is so cute. i just washed my brushes for the first time in a really long time and it’s just so tedious. i’m struggling to admit to myself that i will never wear the 2 red lipsticks i have but i keep “just in case”
So happy to see the beautiful Tilly (spelling?) make an appearance! Lovely declutter. I’ve never bought a lip stain but I’m considering it now. You asked how often we clean our brushes/sponges and what do we use. I’m that crazy person who feels compelled to clean them after every use. If I’m really in a rush I use that spray from Sephora for a quick clean. Otherwise I use the Beauty Blender liquid cleanser with the lavender scent.
This is such a treat, I love your taste in colors! Seeing a makeup declutter and organization video is always so soothing, thank you for making this video! 👏 Normalize 👏 throwing 👏 away 👏 expired 👏 makeup! I get grossed out about what expired makeup does after watching Style Theory's video on the subject. 🤢
I think they are Velvet Kag medium almond. You can see it's press-ons around 33:47 They look so gorgeous I just scoured the whole Olive & June website to find them 😂
I wash mine on Sunday evenings while kids shower. I find the ELF solid cleanser works the best, takes all stains out of any sigma white bristle brushes and sponges. Fav sponge is the Kokki purple ones.
I so love these. I just received a mini of the Ulta lip stain. I love how lip stains can also completely transform your lip gloss. I love it, never tried a stain. This is helpful to me I know good brands to look for when adding to my lip collection. I wear lipgloss everyday to work so I go through them fast.
Everyone's been doing declutter and organizing videos (juicyjas, lauren, you) i only need to do the top of my hair dresser and clothes. Maybe this is a sign lol
Update: i finished cleaning my hair dresses and bedside table. Those two things have been eating away at me for MONTHS anytime i looked at them. I just need 2 more furniture tops and my floor and ill be done. Thanks kelly ❤
I wash my brushes once a week! I have a pretty small brush collection, so I never have to wash more than 10 brushes and it's one of the chores that I kind of like doing 😅 But it also only takes me a few minutes. I use a Dove bar soap and a brush egg to wash them 😊
I aim to wash brushes 1x a week no matter how many there are. I use dawn dish soap and if i had any natural hair just a regular shampoo would do. I find if i drag it out i will fall out of habit and then end up with no brushes remaining lol
When I was playing with my makeup every day, I just washed my brushes right after doing my skin care for the evening, but I got out of that habit, and am struggling to get back into it.
I clean my brushes and sponge with the pink Zote soap. The Zote soap is usually on the laundry soap aisle in Walmart. My brushes get cleaned every other weekend, although I am trying to do them every Friday.
I use olive oil and dawn liquid. It helps break down the makeup oils and junk in the brushes. I wash my sponges in a mason jar w/ very hot water, olive oil snd shampoo. I put the sponges in and shake vigorously, let sit as I’m washing brushes. Then rinse them out. The sponges look as good as new. I roll the sponges into a towel, and step on them ti squeeze out water. Lol. It works.
I use either ponds cold cream cleaner for cleaning my brushes if they have a lot of makeup. If they don't have much, then Myers Liquid Hand Soap. It's great antibacterial soap.
I finally reorganized by brand. I couldn't keep shades together. I wanted the new Odens Odens Eye llip Helaween collection, but I have way too many lippies as it is.
I wash my brushes every 1-2 months with Dr Bronner’s Castile soap. Most of my brushes are synthetic, so I don’t feel the need to be super careful. Cream product brushes will usually get washed more often than brushes I use for powder products. I also use that quick brush cleanser for my eyeshadow brushes about once a week to switch colors, the one where you spray it on a tissue and brush it around, but not a full clean.
Lol don’t worry it takes me an hour to clean my brushes too. I set up my laptop on the sink and bring a bar stool in my bathroom so it’s a little more relaxing. Also I don’t remember who recommended this but I actually double cleanse my brushes like you would your face. I first massage a super cheap cleansing oil into the dry brush and it breaks up most of the caked on product, then you rinse and follow up with a bar soap or solid brush cleanser. I know it’s 2 steps but it actually takes less time to get the product out bc the oil does a lot of the work. I hope this helps someone!!
I prefer the real techniques sponge to the beauty blender. For brush cleansing I struggled to find a decent cleanser for foundation brushes, nothing really cleaned the foundation off and the brush would get kinda gross but I recently tried an face oil cleanser and they worked amazingly so I think when that one finishes i'll buy another cheap oil cleaser for my brushes. For powder brushes a bar soap works very well.
Yes I did the same declutter with my lip collection; sadly many were expired but now it’s Downsized that will remind me to use what I have and buy no more
Bar soap is the best way to clean your beauty blender! I've tried so many things and bar soap is the way to go girl! Maybe that would help you next time.
I love this kind of video and appreciate all the swatches, but I did get really dizzy bc it was going in and out of focus so much, which I’ve never noticed before!
I smiled really big when you said this used to be my OG from Persona, but I'm not sure it's my color anymore because it matched your nails perfectly. I tend to do a big wash day on brushes as well. I tend to use baby shampoo to wash my brushes. I like the idea of using old shampoos that didn't work for your hair because I have a few of those. I enjoyed the video.
The click packaging is so bad on the Tarte lipsticks. I feel like buying the mini, with the twist packaging, is the only option at this point so you can actually use your product.
I have both the mini and and a fullsize but the mini is so more prone to breaking off since the packaging isn't supporting the lipstick. Mine broke off because it melted and now I have to use it with a lip brush. So their packaging just sucks anyways haha
The ride or die lip balms by elf should be discontinued and then brought back in different packaging. The packaging is so messy and hard to get the product out in colder months.
This is such a SUNDAY video. 👌🏻

It’s a rainy Sunday afternoon, the perfect time to watch this declutter with a cup of tea.
This was so nice on a lazy , rainy Sunday- but by far my favorite parts were Tilly coming to bless us all
Haha she’s the star of the show!

I have a mesh drawstring bag that I put my reusable cotton rounds and triangle puffs in. Toss in washer and they come out great.

It’s a hot day here in my part of Australia so feet in a cool bath and Kelly is a good combination!

I’d love for you to make a video showing your nail polish collection!!
Love videos like this! 😊 Also, as someone with thinner lips, I adore smaller applicators like the Merit one!
I love these videos! They inspire me to declutter and organize my make up
another way to "get in there" washing brushes is a small kitchen strainer, those little round metal ones
Oooh smart !!
An awesome video for a gloomy Sunday morning! Thank you, Kelly!!
I usually wash my brushes once a week (Sunday) with baby soap. I put on some music or a makeup video while I wash them. It is pretty relaxing.
I love using the elf charcoal soap especially for my sponges ❤
My mornings plans have been made.
Tilly is always so pawgeous!! I'm on the way to panning a few shadows in one eyeshadow palette! I should go through my makeup again though.
This is such a treat, I love your taste in colors! Seeing a makeup declutter and organization video is always so soothing, thank you for making this video!
👏 Normalize 👏 throwing 👏 away 👏 expired 👏 makeup! I get grossed out about what expired makeup does after watching Style Theory's video on the subject. 🤢
Kelly, a drop of dawn dish soap on the beauty blender sponge works wonders!
Love the solid beauty blender cleanser!
This is the BEST video for doing Sunday chores! 😄
The persona lipgloss in shade honey is the perfect shade and formula for you
The perfect Sunday video! Also girl your nails!! I couldn’t get over them!
Do you know what shade from Olive & June is on your nails? I love it! So excited to watch this with my coffee this morning ❤
I think they are Velvet Kag medium almond. You can see it's press-ons around 33:47
They look so gorgeous I just scoured the whole Olive & June website to find them 😂
She’s right! They’re the Velvet Kag press-on set!

Can I just say I love your nails? ❤❤❤
Olive & June…. Gorgeous! But what colour?
Relaxing Sunday with Kelly 💄 your collection and choices are awesome love it 💄
I agree the kaja stains are amazing! I wish they were bigger though!
Kelly's nails are so pretty.
Thank you! They’re press ons!
Tilly is so cute 😍💕
I use bar of soap it's the best for removing foundation/concealer from my brushes
Love a good declutter 😊

Perfect video!!! Loved it! Thanks for sharing all these swatches! Have a lovely week ahead! ❤
The Sigma magic brush wash is great
Loved this! It was so relaxing. 🥰🥰 Thanks for sharing, Kelly! 💜🌻
Can we see your favorite lip liners? I'm particularly interested in the shades.
Are the Ulta gloss sticks a dupe for the tower 28 glossy sticks maybe?

I love the Tilly appearance 😍
Kackie got a lot of use out of Oster pearl as a cream bronzer. You may try that!
Such a nice video!
Also, I tried the Milani lip oil, and while I love the formula, I hated how sticky the packaging would get.
That elf core shine in the brown shade looks like it could be a dupe for the nars laguna balm👀
I’ve been waiting for this
Yes I did the same declutter with my lip collection; sadly many were expired but now it’s Downsized that will remind me to use what I have and buy no more
Just wear the red lip every Monday and see what happens ❤️
I feel like the lip bar shade hot mess is probably really good on you too
I don't wash my brushes near enough, but I always use the Dr. Bronner's bar soap
I know you haven’t been super into panning recently which is totally ok, but I would love to see an update soon if you are up for it!
Bar soap is the best way to clean your beauty blender! I've tried so many things and bar soap is the way to go girl! Maybe that would help you next time.
I have so many lip products from highschool (7 years ago) that I so need to get rid of but I just can’t bring myself to do it😅😭
I wash my makeup brushes and beauty blender the day after cause I have OCD it has be to washed and cleaned
Monday morning here🎉🎉🎉😊
I love this kind of video and appreciate all the swatches, but I did get really dizzy bc it was going in and out of focus so much, which I’ve never noticed before!
Hi Kelly,
Great video as usual ❤
I wanted to ask you if the fenty shadow stick dries down or is it creamy?
I smiled really big when you said this used to be my OG from Persona, but I'm not sure it's my color anymore because it matched your nails perfectly. I tend to do a big wash day on brushes as well. I tend to use baby shampoo to wash my brushes. I like the idea of using old shampoos that didn't work for your hair because I have a few of those. I enjoyed the video.
How do you keep your sink from getting clogged up from all the makeup from cleaning brushes?
Hi Tiily 😊❤❤❤❤
The click packaging is so bad on the Tarte lipsticks. I feel like buying the mini, with the twist packaging, is the only option at this point so you can actually use your product.
I have both the mini and and a fullsize but the mini is so more prone to breaking off since the packaging isn't supporting the lipstick. Mine broke off because it melted and now I have to use it with a lip brush. So their packaging just sucks anyways haha

29:30 Tilly sighting
I would swatch the lip stains on a piece of paper.
🤍🤍🤍🤍
Wash with Johnson's baby shampoo.
Not cruelty free
I don’t know why you would even go through the glosses. Who throws away lip gloss? That’s like weird.
😊🫶
