A capsule beauty kit contains only essential cosmetics. Think of the products that you repurchase when empty; the ones you just have to squeeze into your carry-on bag when you travel. What if you only kept these products and got rid of the rest? … By the time I reached the big 3-0, I felt like I had a better sense of myself, and knew what products made sense for me and had done enough research to know what products were the very best. The end result is a hard working beauty kit with holy grail standards for every item. I’m lucky enough to no longer have many blemishes (one of the many benefits to becoming semi-old~!) and on most days go without make up entirely, so it makes sense that my beauty kit only contains 6 items. It was definitely worth the effort to ruthlessly edit my beauty kit down to a few products, for an easy morning routine, and a look that feels authentic.

Somehow I never really got into make-up and now seeing how much makeup some people have (your list is definitely WAY less than others I’ve seen) I’m actually glad that I never went too crazy into it. Even without make-up though I still need to have some face lotion, chapstick and eye drops on hand wherever I go!

agree, seems like a lot of bloggers showcase massive collections of make up, and I wonder if most of it goes unused.

At the same time, though, there are some people who wear TONS of makeup so maybe they actually do use it all up!
