Makeup Rehab | April 2025 vs April 2026 – The Difference One Year Made

It’s time for another Makeup Rehab check-in — where I look back at everything that came into my collection during the same month last year and compare it to this year during my No Buy 2026. This series was inspired by Steph from ItsJustSteph and Donna from MyNewObsession, who helped inspire this style of reflective beauty content: • ‪@itsjustStephslife‬ • ‪@MyNewObsession2017‬ For April 2025… things were very different 😅 April 2025: • 22 products brought into my collection • 21 used • 0 currently unused • 1 decluttered • Total spent: $453.53 April 2026: • 2 products brought into my collection • 1 already used • 1 currently unused • 0 decluttered • Total spent: $100.84 In this video, I go through: • Every product that came into my collection in April 2025 • Why I justified buying them at the time • Whether they were actually worth it a year later • How much I spent overall • What came into my collection this April instead • And how my habits and mindset have changed during my no-buy journey One of the biggest things this series keeps reinforcing for me is that growth doesn’t always mean buying nothing — sometimes it means: • buying less • buying more intentionally • and actually using what comes into your collection This series has honestly become one of the most eye-opening parts of my channel because it forces me to look at my purchases outside of the excitement of the moment. Let me know in the comments: Do you think your purchases from a year ago would still feel worth it today? ✨ Related videos: • I Failed My No Buy 2026 • What I Would Not Rebuy • Project Pan 26 Updates • Shop My Stash • Beauty Inventory + Makeup Math Videos #MakeupRehab #NoBuy2026 #LowBuyBeauty #MakeupCollection #IntentionalBeauty #BeautyBudget #ProjectPan #UseWhatYouHave
