I really want/need to drastically reduce my collection, it's gotten totally out of hand.<br /><br />SS, I've always said the same thing, 'everyone collects something' and at least what we collect is harmless and we can use it.<br /><br />Emma, I'm glad I'm not the only one who is constantly buying more!<br /><br />Tea, that's my problem exactly. I get a product, it doesn't work for me so I buy something else without finishing the product I didn't like.<br /><br />Sarah, I need to be more careful about what I buy, it's just so easy to keep buying new things.GlossQueen https://www.blogger.com/profile/06789891604897478651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913917503343219957.post-19421179975076123752011-05-25T15:02:01.286+08:002011-05-25T15:02:01.286+08:00When I started blogging I went a bit crazy buying ...When I started blogging I went a bit crazy buying all the things I wanted, but now I'm much more strategic about what I buy. I think it helps that I have a better idea of what will work and what will compliment me.

Last night I was thinking about this actually..."I wonder how many cleansers Ive tried out in my lifetime" I could think of about 10 straight off the top of my head. Its alarming because my best friend and my mum have used the same things for at least 5 years. I wish I was like that!<br />Im particuarly bad with moisturisers and foundation as that really is the basis of skin and makeup!<br />Ive got much better the past 6 months but I use to be terrible!Teaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000070423410696660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913917503343219957.post-10377018953822560332011-05-25T11:35:07.491+08:002011-05-25T11:35:07.491+08:00I always say that my cosmetics are 'investment...I always say that my cosmetics are 'investments'! I like the idea that it's primal. I always find myself buying more when I find something I like, and it's when I don't that the item is discontinued >< Catch-22 really. Such a great post, has really made me think.

And to be honest, it kind of made me feel better about my disgustingly large stash to think that it might be due to some primal instinct I have no control over ;] <br /><br />I always like to justify my makeup addiction like 'everybody has a hobby....this is mine', or 'everybody collects something, this is what I collect'.SilhouetteScreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958299527498383584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913917503343219957.post-10631464363630158832011-05-25T07:47:08.368+08:002011-05-25T07:47:08.368+08:00I'm actually finding my recent years of rampan...I'm actually finding my recent years of rampant consumerism disturbing, and have been taking steps to halt it. I've always been into makeup and perfume, but I would buy maybe three or four things every few months. At one point years ago I had 20 lipsticks and thought that was a huge number (collected over about ten years). Most recently I had over 80 before I started selling them off or giving them away. <br /><br />I got rid of almost everything when I moved to Adelaide 7 years ago - I came here with one brown eyeshadow quad, one blush, two brushes and two lipsticks. Since then I've accumulated a collection I could not possibly use within my life time.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349956327915851336noreply@blogger.com
