Then there is the huge drawer in the bathroom closet that holds the rest. Mostly seasonal stuff, plus some extra of my favorites in case they stop making it- which has happened to me several times:
I could cut and paste pictures all day. These are just 8 of my favorites, now extinct. Don't even get me started on how Bath & Body Works changed the scent for Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin about 10 years ago. . .
Like that lipstick? It's been discontinued for at least 6 years. And I still have 7 unopened tubes of it. It's Almay & the color is Flutter. When I noticed the supply getting sparse, I took to Big Lots and Ebay like a pack of wolves on a 3 legged cat.
I also have 1 unopened tube of the Bonnie Bell Gel Bronze. I did have 2 saved up, but Cara was going on last year about how they had discontinued it and so I gave her one for her birthday. That was one of the most unselfish things I have ever done in my life, by the way. I mean, you can't get it anymore and I gave her one out of the goodness of my heart! She's totally bronzer-worthy though.
At last count my mascara count was 26. But I did get another tube last weekend, so I guess it's 27. The lipgloss/lipstick count was well over one hundred.
mascara & liner about a month ago
lipstick & glosses
If you think I'm a hoarder, you're wrong. I actually use this stuff! Okay, fine, I use most of it. I just like having lots of options. And I love to be girly and put on make-up- not like pile it on, rather, tastefully apply.
And if you think I'm being shallow or that I should "embrace my inner beauty instead of being concerned with my outer appearance", well, I guess you've never seen me without makeup!
