Conduct an 'asset inventory' of unused lipstick and skincare products

Makeup, hand cream, and basic skincare are all bought new before they can be used up, and lipstick is bought in large quantities. I also want to clear it, but I can't always clear it. What should I do? This is also a common headache for girls. On one hand, there is the temptation of various new models and features, while on the other hand, I only hate myself for having one face and two hands.

My response to this friend is: never buy a new one. Sorry! This answer is a bit bland and perfunctory. Everyone knows that to reduce inventory, we need to first block the source and then focus on consuming the inventory. However, how many can be strictly implemented and followed.

After careful consideration, this issue may seem like a personal problem, but it can be addressed by referring to some internal "destocking strategies" within the company. The destocking strategy is a strategy adopted by some enterprises to reduce excess inventory and optimize cash flow. The core goal is to convert "accumulated assets" into "current cash". So, let's compare and try to break down individual inventory reduction strategies.

Firstly, start by organizing the items. I hope you can realize the importance of organization from here on. Minimalist living has never been separated from the basic principle of organization. Classify these cosmetics, hand creams, basic skincare products, lipsticks, and more.

What specific categories are they?

overdue.Undoubtedly, of course, this category should be eliminated directly. So, we don't have to waste any more time and energy on this part.

Passionate consumption, sudden drop in enthusiasm after purchase, feeling dispensable, unopened and unused.

This type can be listed on second-hand platforms or shared in local second-hand transfer groups. As long as the date is relatively fresh and the price is moderate, it should be able to be sold and monetized. Some local second-hand groups are very active.

I have opened and used it several times, but I am not satisfied with the effect or find it unsuitable for myself.

This type can be taken out for family and friends such as mothers and mothers in law to choose their own needs and preferences for use.

Makeup products that you don't want to continue using can be given to the choir or dance team of the mothers in law, and used for makeup in community entertainment activities. The effect is amazing! We have achieved the goal of making the best use of resources and doing public welfare.

Finally, leave behind your favorite, the most satisfying, and the ones with fresh dates, and start consuming them wholeheartedly.

Of course, there will still be temptations from holiday promotions and new product advertisements in the future, and it may even be difficult to resist. Something labeled as' 60% off today, restore original price tomorrow 'will make you feel like you're losing 40% if you don't buy it.

But at this point, you must change your mindset and think: if you don't buy, what I actually enjoy is a 100% discount, and I earned 100%.

Finally, I have a suggestion for Jimei to implement good ideas into practical actions:

When you resist each "irresistible", transfer the corresponding amount to your savings account based on its price.

After a certain period of time, open your own savings account for a quarter, six months, or a year (set up a dedicated savings account as soon as possible and treat it as if it doesn't exist), and see how much money you have saved. At that time, you will find that you have unintentionally spent a lot of money, but now you have successfully become a money saving expert.

Final summary: Excess items, utilizing destocking strategy, sorting and categorizing.
