My make up stash is tiny in comparison to a lot of people’s collection but it seems to have some very old products in it. I used to buy a lot of unnecessary items when I first started out as a beauty blogger (5 years ago, get me) as I thought I needed absolutely everything. Now that I’m an adult (supposedly) I realise that I really don’t need every single new make up release.
It’s quite disturbing how many products I’ve gotten rid of today. Over half of my make up collection is now sitting in the bin. I couldn’t even sell any of it as most of it has been sitting there for so long it’s probably not even safe to take the lids off of them let alone use them.
The majority of the things I threw away were nail polish. I am the worst when it comes to nail polish as I just want it all. I kept buying colours that I either already had or didn’t actually like once they were on my nails (orange and I really don’t get along yet I still bought loads of orange nail polish).
Now I’ve whittled it down to just the ones I actually use as well as a couple of new ones that have yet to be used; something tells me I’m never going to use the new ones and should really get rid of them ASAP.
As a result of this make up purge my collection is now very small and consists entirely of things I actually use erm, excluding those new nail polishes I just mentioned. Of course I’ll buy new make up from time to time but I’m going to be a lot more careful about what I do purchase.
I’m now gravitating towards high end make up these days so if I keep overindulging it’s going to become a very expensive habit. There definitely won’t be any new foundation purchases until I use the 3 I have and I don’t think I need any more red lipsticks. Actually, I think I need MAC Russian Red, yeah I definitely need MAC Russian Red. Oh crap…
