[大掃除 Declutter ]指甲油整理 ( Nail Polish Declutter)

一直都想減少自己的BEAUTY COLLECTION. 早之已經清過一次,送了好一些東西給我的朋友又丟了好一些. (我想大約減少了10 至15 件產品) 禁敗之後,更加要”的起心肝”,想去做大掃除(de-clutter)! 不過由於我還是捨不得再丟我的化妝品, 只好從週邊的東西開始. (一開始還是要需要有一點成功感)

I have been trying to down size my amount of beauty collection. I tried to clean out some of the makeup products by pass on or throw away. ( I believe around 10 to 15 products were GONE!) After the 100 day shopping ban, I feel the urge of de-clutter! Since I know my attachment to makeup products, I am starting my declutter journey by nail polish. ( We all need that little sense of achievement when starting a project~!)

以往我是十分愛塗甲油,有試過整整三個月沒停過而令到指甲變黃. (有夠誇張的…) 但之後有一段時間做GEL 甲,就沒有再塗了.現在, 一兩個月都不會塗一次. 不過,快要到夏天,心癢癢的想再做GEL 甲或再塗指甲油~!

I used to LOVE putting on nail polish. I tried to wear nail polish for THREE MONTHS Straight ( which made my nails turned yellow….) However, as I was doing gal manicure for a while last year, I stop wearing nail polish. My love on nail polish kind of faded. Indeed, they start to grow on me as Summer is coming, I am thinking to do the gel manicure or nail polish!

經過一輪掙扎, 選了以下幾枝,準備丟掉.

I would say, the struggle is REAL! I am getting rid of below products~!

底油/面油: 6 枝 ( 6 base coat / top coat)

這些產品已經很舊了,而且手邊已經有好幾枝新底油/面油. 真的毫不考慮就把這個丟了.

These base cost / top cost are pretty old and expired. In fact, I already got some new ones on hand. It is time to get rid of the expired ones!

指甲油: 21 枝 (21 nail polish)

這些指甲油,有好一些已經很舊,有一點變乾.有一些是因為現在不會用這些顏色.

Some of the nail polish are turning bad and dried out. Some of them are just not the colour that I would love to wear.

我發現我有2枝指甲油是相同的~! Revlon 的Vixen 是我最愛的暗酒紅色, 所以當時多買了一枝做backup. 而skinfood 的雖然很美,但真的不明白會多買一枝. (雖然是重覆,但還是想先保留一下….)

I LOVE the oxblood red from Revlon (Vixen)! That’s why I bought back up! About the Skinfood nail polish, it is pretty indeed I don’t really need two of them. ( I am still holding on to them and planning to get rid of them later on)

本來以為自己可以丟掉更多指甲油,但我覺得27 枝產品已經是一個好開始. 手邊依然有許多指甲油,希望再過多兩,三個月,會再做一次declutter. 因此,先不會分享現有的collection.

I thought I would have done better than this. However, it is already a good start for getting rid of 27 nail products! (HURRAY!!!!)  I still have over 50 nail polish on hand and I am planning to have another declutter in coming months. There shall be a blog post about my final nail polish collection.

上網爬了許多文章,看了許多有關大掃除的秘訣. 看到許多文章都有說,把東西丟掉/清空之後,會感出奇的快樂.當我看到我丟掉這27枝PRODUCT, 有一點點可惜.但同時都有一種成功感,一種莫名的快樂. 

There are lots of declutter tips or suggested method online. The passage often suggested that you would have a sense of happiness after decluterring. I could not deny that, after I throw away these 27 nail products, I feel very satisfied and content. ( also, I think this is some sort of achievement too!)

[目標清貨] Finish 8 by Summer 2015

因為手邊有太多存貨, 有一些都已經放了一陣子, 都沒有意識要用, 所以想在夏天前把它們用光光~! 我會給自己好好的3個月,希望7月前可以用完吧! 以下總共有8個產品, 好一些都只剩下一點點, 我相信這個目標應該不算太aggressive 吧~!

I am trying to clear up my skincare / bodycare stash for a while. I have picked 8 items below as they are kind of old or more suitable for winter usage. I would like to use them up before they gone bad. I would give myself 3 months to finish them up. As some of the products already being used quite a lot. I think 8 items by 3 months shouldn’t be count as too aggressive.

#01 - Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Reviver Balm

上唇後會由透明變粉紅色的lip balm. 因為用量真的很省,所以用了許久都還很新.我會努力,希望可以用光光~!

The balm will change from clear to slightly pink tinted once you have applied. This product is pretty old as a little bit goes a long way. I think it is hard to use it up, but I will try my best.

#02 - Happy Bath Body Oil

在首爾買的戰利品.雖然是油,但勝在輕身易吸收.(當時買一送一,入手了兩枝~!)

I purchased this body oil during my Seoul Trip with the buy-one-get-one free deal! (That means I have 2 bottles on hand……..) I love this product quite a lot as it is light-weighted and easy to absorb.

#03 - Skinfood sugar mask

有點磨砂感覺得清潔MASK, 用後不繃緊,已經用上第三,四罐了!

Pretty gentle brown sugar mask for facial polish and cleansing. I have used up 3, 4 pots before!

#04 - Lush BIG Shampoo

好喜歡這個洗髮露,喜歡它的氣味及用後會令頭髮更有空氣感.因為用後會有點小乾,冬天時暫停了使用. 現在開始有點小潮濕,可以開始用這個了.

I love the scent and volume effect which brought from this product. Due to the salt in the shampoo, it is a bit drying for winter time. Indeed it is perfect for Spring and Summer use to fight with humidity.

#05 – Clio Salon de Cara Lash Ampoule (眼睫毛增長精華)

在首爾買的戰利品,希望有效~!

Haul in Seoul and I hope it works.

#06 - Philosophy Purity Made Simple cleanser

喜歡這個洗面, 但這個SIZE有點太大.用了許久都未能用完.我要好好用完, 方可試手邊其他產品! (P.S. 這個配合Clarisonic 用超搭! 因為早前沒有用CLARISONIC, 所以這個都沒有在用…)

This is such a GIANT bottle in terms of facial cleanser. I will try to use it up before opening others . I usually pair this with Clarisonic! ( I am pretty lazy and didn’t use my Clarisonic for facial cleansing for a while)

#07 – Innisfree 1 minute Lip Scrub

半雷,但求用光光~

This is somehow disappointing products, I just wanted to finish it ASAP.

#08 – Dewy – Phyto Energy Moist Peeling Gel

半雷,但求用光光~ (x 2)

Again, this is somehow disappointing products, I just wanted to finish it ASAP.
