Weekly Makeup Basket| July 14, 2015

Have you ever put together a weekly makeup basket? When you're working on Project Pans, it's a brilliant way to rotate through products without being overwhelmed (especially if you have a fairly large stash).

Essentially, you look through your items and choose a small selection to use for the week. The exact quantity will vary based on your preferences, but the fewer the better. The more usage you get out of a product in a week, the quicker you can finish it! Alternatively, if it turns out after the week the product doesn't work for you- you can give it away, toss it, or even sell it (although that can be tricky).

Having a basket (or bag or box!) separate from your collection will simplify your routine as well. It has definitely helped me cut back on time getting ready for work in the morning!
