I have a confession to make. I'm something of a hoarder when it comes to my beauty stash. I'm getting better and am slightly obsessed with the idea of a 'five product face', but there is something so satisfying in seeing your makeup collection grow. To me, it feels like I'm documenting my changing tastes.
From now on, however, I'm on a bit of mission to pare everything back a little bit. Whether it was seeing how much (out of date) makeup I had stored away in my old bedroom at my parent's house, or the Boyfriend's non-stop teasing, or the fact that my colleagues at work know me as 'the one who's into her makeup', something has pushed me try and collate my collection a little bit.
When it comes to skincare, I'm pretty on the ball. I know what works for me, I know what doesn't. If it doesn't work, it's out pretty quickly. With makeup, on the other hand, I'm always determined to try and make things work for me, even when it's a pretty hopeless situation. From here on it, I'm implementing a 'one in, one out' policy. How long it will last for, however, I cannot guarantee... I give it a week.
"One in, one out" sounds like a great idea - if only I could stick to it! It's more like "ten in, none out". :p
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling it will be a lot easier said than done... A girl can dream
DeleteI definitely need to take this post as inspiration. My stash has gotten a little out of hand… it's time for a cull x
