Purge your stash!

So! yesterday, I decided to do a bit of purging (not me) but my makeup stash! So often we get sucked into buying things that we either normally wouldn't buy or because it is such a *Good* deal! well I have found myself doing just that and in both categories.
The result if which ends up in wasting money. You see when we give in to the power of sight (We see it so, we want it),but do we actually need it? No! therefore we acquire all this stuff and we don't use them. IE: lip-gloss,cheap $1.00 palettes,sale items now if you add it all up we realize that we could have kept that money and buy something we KNOW we are really going to love and use, not just adding it to our collection and say "Oh, I have that." I have it! But do I really like it? Am I using it? How long has it been sitting here being stored? So I have found a good way to help myself is to purge (Get rid of it) give it away or toss it.

When purging you will know what you can pass on (give away) or what to trash, if your makeup has an odor chances are it needs to be in the garbage.lipsticks and lip-gloss tend to have a life expectancy of 6months to a year, So another thing to keep in mind do not overstock yourself. The lip stuff will actually let you know when it is going bad, 1 texture (It won't be as soft n smooth) so it will crack or separate, feather n bleed, become tacky or sticky 2. Odor,when purchased it may have fruity smell or not. but if you pop that top and you get a nasty musty odor! trash it!
So ,while I am not a lip-gloss fan (lipstick lover) I found myself stocking up and haven't used them or find that I really didn't like the colors or the way it felt on my lips ,I also like color that stays and few lip-glosses will stain, they are meant not to have lasting power but to add sheen and or moisture.
I have only loved two lip-glosses that are worthy of mentioning and one is a MAC plush-glass the other Buxom lips-celeste. used both and have repurchased, the MAC plush-glass in plush-luxe I have re-upped on twice. Buxom =once.
I also tossed some palettes I've had for over two years. It feels great getting rid on used old items.

Now! let me go see if I missed anything.
