Unless you have an unlimited amount of cash flow, it is very difficult to buy all these beautiful, tempting items. And if you have been collecting makeup for a while, you will have dupes of items you might be lusting after. We run after the next best thing and forget that we already have things in our collection that we love. That's when we shop our stash.

Get Creative

Experiment with different looks. Get creative with your makeup looks by trying out different combinations and techniques. This is a great way to discover new ways to use existing products. You get a fresh new look and do not have to buy new products. Mix and match products to create unique colors. Like mixing lipsticks to get a color you like. Blending eyeshadows to expand your color options. Also there are so many videos, tutorials online to teach you different techniques that will help you get creative. #ShoppingMyStash has definitely made me more creative than before.

Multi-purpose products

I love this one. Always look for product that serve multiple functions. Products that can be used on eyes, lips and cheeks. Most times such products work on my lips and cheeks but not on my eyes because I have oily, hooded eyelids. So I prime my eyelids and then use multi-purpose products. This helps me save so much time when I am rushed in the mornings.

Proper Storage

I can surely say that when I have my makeup organized and stored properly, things are so much easier. Most importantly, I can find what I need. I do not spend precious time going through drawers. Also, I use stuff without it expiring. #ShoppingMyStash is much easier if your products are organized.

Swap With A Friend Or A Loved One

Exchange makeup items with someone, if you are no longer reaching for it. This way someone else can love it and you may also find something you like in their stash, without spending money.
