MakeUp Use Up 2019 - Q2 Halfway Through!

I am sorry that my inventory numbers didn't show up in today's video so I am posting them below. Still 9 items that are red but, I prefer to focus on that I have 18 greens (vs 4 when I started this journey). I am making progress and that is what counts!

Downloadable Inventory Spreadsheet

Scroll down for my inventory as well as my spreadsheet that you can use

I can't encourage you strongly enough to inventory your make-up. I am even sharing my spreadsheet below to help you get started (complete with color coding!) To download, in the bottom right of the spreadsheet below, click the little double window icon to "view full size workbook" then click the 3 dots "..." in the top right and select 'download' Instructions are on the first tab at the bottom. Have fun!



Here are my specific Use Up items for 2018:

Use Up B.U.S. Update May 2015

I have listed the items by categories that, if I run out, I would repurchase (i.e., body moisturizers are different from face moisturizers)  

You can see that the new system of a simple inventory list is much easier to instantly see what I have.  The old system (below) made it very difficult to know if I needed to buy something or already had 3 of them in my stash.

Use Up Back-Up Stash (B.U.S.) for Make-Up

I realized that I was using a bit of everything and not using up anything.  I decided to start this Use Up Back-up Stash (B.U.S.) for 2 reasons:

1) to make me organize/inventory what I have
2) to make me aware of how much I have

This is not a no-buy as I can buy whatever I want but, it has to go into the Back-Up Stash.  I have to use something up before I can bring something out of the B.U.S.

These products do NOT include what is in my regular stash and current rotation and I have kept out a lot!  That means I have to use up at least 1 item in order to pull out an equivalent item from the B.U.S.
