Makeup Hoarding: Revlon Colorbursts Lipglosses

I had a bit of free time today so I'm attempting to clean up my vanity and reorganize my storage a little.  I seem to be prone to creating clutter so I'm not sure this attempt will be fruitful.  I did come across something quite terrifying though.

Lo and behold, 11 brand new Revlon Colorburst Lipglosses.


Ever since I tasted my first rancid lipgloss Halloween of 2010 and threw out my first batch of nasty lipglosses, I vowed never to buy lipglosses again until I used up the ones I had.  I didn't think I was buying that many, but I purchased a few here, a few there.  Glosses I liked and some where I thought the colors were very unique.  Not all of them by Revlon, but showing you just the glosses I accumulated from one line of one brand alone terrifies me.  

I haven't quite decided what to do with these glosses yet.  I don't like to open new lipglosses until I have finished some up (WHICH HAS NEVER BEFORE HAPPENED).  I do like the colors obviously.  But I don't know what to do!

As I continue cleaning, I am completely overwhelmed at the amount of makeup I own.  Even as a makeup artist, there is only so much I can use on clients.  If I were doing makeup on other people all day, everyday that would be another story.  I think I may have finally convinced myself that I can start and complete a Project 10 Pan.  

But then I think about limited edition collections out there and my trip coming up....oh boy.

Tell me I'm not crazy.  Am I the only one freaking out about how much makeup I possess?!

Makeup Hoarding: Single Eyeshadows + FOTD

Hello everyone!  I hope you all had a fantabulous holiday!  I spent a good bit of mine freaking out over how much makeup I own, since I had time to finally sit down and clean up/organize my stash.  My drawer of single and duo eyeshadows I was freaking out over especially because it was then that I realized how much freaking makeup I have and do not use.  And yet I am continuously buying more stuff.  Shame on me.

Here is said drawer:



As you can see, I have some brand new in box items, and some eyeshadows visibly collecting dust.

This is only one of the drawers I am distressing over.  I have too much!  I can't believe I'm saying this!  Too much makeup!  I already cleaned out my stash considerably last year and already I have accumulated so much more.  Of course being the hoarder I am, I can't part with anything yet.  So I have vowed to to use at least two rarely used items every time I do makeup for the rest of the year at the very least!  Lately I've been rushing my makeup and working out of the same palette (Too Faced Natural Eye Palette) for who knows how long .

So here is today's look:

Haha, I look like a kid in this one.
