One beauty vlogger took the term spring cleaning to a whole new level by showing off her enormous beauty room in a YouTube video, in the hopes of getting rid of products she doesn’t need.
In a nearly 14-minute clip posted on her YouTube channel, Tati Westbrook, 36, of Los Angeles, California, takes viewers through her room filled with make-up and beauty products – most of which were given to her by cosmetics brands.
‘It’s just every day,’ Tati, who has a whopping four million subscribers on her channel, says. ‘I spend an hour of my life every day opening PR.’

Clutter: In Tati’s beauty room, there are drawers filled with an array of make-up palettes and various lipstick colors
When the vlogger isn’t trying out new make-up products, she stores them in her drawers, which she says are now filled with ‘random make-up’.
Early in the clip, Tati shows off a section of her beauty room, which she calls ‘chaos’.
It includes a drawer full of fake lashes, along with a newly organized drawer for hair products and the ‘bad bin’, which is filled with ‘every piece of make-up’ Tati doesn’t like.
The vlogger also shows four drawers filled exclusively with make-up palettes. ‘We have palettes, palettes, palettes,’ she laments. ‘Oh my God. Make it stop. Why am I doing this? I’m going to have to open every drawer in here and clean it out.’
She then opens four other drawers, this time containing lipstick in a wide array of shades.
‘Here we have lipstick, lipstick, more lipstick and oh my God can you believe it – more lipstick!’ she continues.
‘I wear red maybe twice a year but I think I hold on to this because I think I’m going to formulate the best lipstick in the world one day and I’m like, “I need reference.”‘

But although red shades aren’t her favorite, Tati is sucker for ‘pinky nudes’, ‘drugstore nudes’ and especially H&M’s In a Nutshell lipstick shade, which she describes as ‘beautiful, creamy and affordable’.
She keeps even the colors she doesn’t enjoy wearing.
‘Here, we have more berry tones, we have the shade that I never, ever wear,’ she adds, revealing a drawer full of various pink lipsticks.
The video later cuts to another section of Tati’s beauty room, which features beauty oils, a large mirror, and a make-up counter that has multiple beauty products such as Jeffree Star and YSL lipsticks.
Even though her beauty room is in need of organization, Tati says that she’s done a good job of ‘editing down her bronzers, contour and powders’.
She then adds that she recently cleaned out her primer collection to make it more manageable.

Making her crazy: At one point in the video, Tati says that the make-up is giving her an anxiety attack because there is so much of it
‘This make-up is giving me an anxiety attack,’ she says while she opens another drawer filled with brushes, blush and pencils.
She says: ‘Believe it or not, this right here – these browns – I swatched each and every one of them and determined that I wanted to keep each and every one of them. I’m not joking – I need help.’
Tati then shows viewers the drawer that’s the ‘toughest’ to get rid of, which is her perfume drawer that’s filled with many different fragrances.
And with her drawers nearly filled to the brim, Tati has to find other places to store her make-up, such as candy jars.
She says: ‘This used to be exclusively candy here but then I ran out of drawers. I was eating all the candy and getting such a sugar high off smarties.’

No clue: Last September, Tati received a surfboard with her name on it, and since then, she hasn’t figured out what to do with it
Lucky: Fans of the beauty vlogger will be getting some of her products in ‘one epic giveaway’
But it’s not just make-up that Tati has to sort through.
Over the course of her beauty vlogger career, she has received unexpected items, such as a surfboard from Smashbox with her name on it last September – and she’s still trying to figure out what to do with it.
‘I hide it and I hope that people don’t notice but it’s there,’ she says.
Toward the end of her video, Tati shows fans the other part of her beauty collection so viewers can see ‘behind the scenes’.
The additional closet consists of boxes filled with products she uses in her videos.
But the vlogger says the make-up system has gotten out of control, prompting her to pledge to go through her closet.
Other random items that can be found in Tati’s beauty closet is her millionth subscriber plaque and a pink mailbox that was used as an Instagram prop.
The vlogger now intends to do an ‘epic giveaway’ for her viewers in an effort to declutter.
