What Are Beauty Products You Never Use?

I’m in the process of going through the boxes we packed up before the remodel, and in the attempt to declutter my life, I’ve been saying goodbye to the things I never use, including beauty products.

Don’t get me wrong; I’m still nowhere near close to being a makeup minimalist, because you just never know when you’ll get the urge to wear a bright blue eyeliner or a sparkly purple lipgloss. (I like to be prepared.) But there are certainly things that I rarely have a need for these days.

Beauty Products I Never Use

• Dry shampoo – Makes my scalp itch.
• Cream bronzer – I prefer powder, and the only one I like these days is MAC Give Me Sun.
• Full-coverage foundation – Not my jam anymore.
• Colored brow gel – Too difficult to control; give me clear gel any day.
• Flat irons, blow dryers and anything designed to straighten hair – I have no patience to fight my natural wavy texture.
• Strong hold gel or hairspray – I like it when my hair doesn’t feel stiff or crunchy.
• False lashes – Even the lightest ones feel too heavy, and they bump into my glasses.
• Highlighter – So over it. LOL!
• Contour products – Again, so over it.
• Heat protectants for hair – I air dry.
• Any sort of specialized pencils for brow arches and whatnot – I will say these highlighting pencils work if you’re willing to put in the effort.
• Nail stickers and press-on nails – I’d rather paint.
• Professional gel manicures – I had one once and it was mildly traumatic.

What about you? What’s on your list of beauty products you never use?
