The Beauty Products To Buy After You “KonMari” Your Vanity Table

The arrival of Marie Kondo (and with it, the KonMari method where you declutter and organise your things) just so happens to be a friendly little reminder that the beauty products you’ve haphazardly retired to your side drawer need an upgrade. Which is why Utena is doing you a solid when it comes to sticking to your game plan by possessing items that only “spark joy”.

While we lend you emotional support as you clean out your gunked-up mascaras and expired face creams, we’ve collected a dream team ensemble by Utena that will have you claiming your right to treat yourselves via a beauty buy (or four) this season.
