Re: Exactly how much makeup do you have?

I collect makeup like I collect quilt fabric. Love all the colors and possibilities, but rarely use any if it.  I sort it often and do more playing with it than wearing it out of the house.   Keep thinking that I really ought to start using it as I'm nearly 50.  I have probably 20-30 eyeshadow palettes alone.  It's embarassing really.  My girlfriends make out great as I purge mostly never used stuff to make more room for more things a couple times each year.  Tell myself that I'm doing research to find my HG items!

More skin care than mu.

 

Not a true minimalist but I aim for simplicity in a morning routine so I can get out the door. 

 

Always trying something new but GWP & trial sizes keep me very happy.

I have more makeup than skin care. I have two 4in1 interchangeable rolling makeup case trolleys.

Re: Exactly how much makeup do you have?

I have tons of makeup...I have a whole drawer of makeup that I seldom use and a drawer of makeup that I use most often. I no longer buy a ton of makeup, just lipsticks which are my passion...I told myself after cleaning out my makeup stash that this is ridiculous(but fun) but I needed to stop if I want to retire in the next few years, so even though I frequent Ulta and watch the beauty shows on QVC, HSN and Evine, I do not buy like I used to I have always loved makeup since I was 14........So to not buy is hard, and I slip sometimes, but I no longer spend a fortune on it. I still love to look at all of the different brands and colors when they come out.....

Re: Exactly how much makeup do you have?

I've tossed a lot of old makeup in the last 6 months, but still have too much...I love playing with it when I have time! I'm still working so--counting church on Sunday--I wear a full face 6 days a week. I've found my HG CC cream, mascara, brow product and lipstain, so I'm good there. Don't use full on lipstick anymore, but a sheer color or tinted balm over the stain. I prefer the CC cream in spring/summer, a regular liquid foundation in fall/winter, both topped by LG's Balance & Brighten. I have one liquid foundation to use up, then I'm on the hunt for something good, but cheaper. I rarely use concealer.

 

Where I'm more minimalist in skin care. I clean my makeup off a night with wipes, in the morning I wash with a mix of Cetaphil and Wen 613. Moisturizer is Wen Replenishing Treatment Mist currenlty mixed with Wen 319 Nourishing Body Treatment. That's it.

 

I'm 61 y/o, oily t-zone, skin is loving this routine!

Re: Exactly how much makeup do you have?

Oh Lordy----I have WAY too much make up and that is one of my summer time goals is to clean and clear out the stuff I don't use. As God is my witness!!!!!!!  ;-)  I  did a semi clearing a few years ago after going thru 6 months of cancer treatments---got rid of the old and vowed not to buy until I had used up the current----yeah, right!!!! I am a total skincare junkie and to a lesser degree, a make up abuser too. Love it all but really need to stop and see just what I have now.  As I say this, let me confess that I just bought 4 new brow/eye items from Benefit------I am hopeless !!!!!
