the things that rule my life

So early this morning I work up with so much energy I was going nuts. After a quick chat on line and watering the plants I thought I would pack for work this weekend. The first thing I always pack is my personal products. Shampoo conditioner, makeup, ect. Well I was packing my makeup and I started to realize how much I have. So I thought I would organize it and throw away some stuff maybe give some stuff to the kids.

I have three cases of makeup, and I just remembered about another drawer that has some stashed away in it too… So here is the tally…

8 tubes of mascara and one unopened one. All different colours blue, purple, plum, black, dark brown, brown… well you get the point.

7 different eyeliners one to go with each of the mascaras

5 different types of foundation/cover up

3 different types of powder… no make that four I have one in my purse

12 palates of eye shadow making a total of 40 different colours

8 things of nail polish.. I was rater I disappointed I didn’t have more…

5 things of blush

10 different type of lip stuff.. half that are in my purse for some odd reason.

8 different types of perfume

at least a dozen types of makeup brushes and same for hair brushes

So there is the list. I decided to throw away some stuff that is old and unused and reorganize in to these little baskets I got. It didn’t take me long to realize I had WAY too much stuff. So I made a deal with myself if it is old or ugly or never been used OUT IT GOES!

I threw away one tube of the brightest and ugliest shade of red lipstick from Mac that even Ronald McDonald wouldn’t use.

3 tubes of mascara that where old and dried up

some tubes of foundation that where used up or very close to it

two things of eyeliner that where ugly as hell and I don’t even remember where I got them from.
And the list goes on… well not really.. that’s it..

So now I look at my nice organized makeup counter and think I have done well, I have de-cluttered and I wont need anymore makeup for another year! I am so controlled by the stuff maybe I will just stop wearing it and be a liberated woman… I will start to show nothing but my inner beauty and be proud that I have blonde eyelashes and bags under my eyes. I acquired those bags through hard work and dedication to school and work! And… DING there goes my email to tell me there is a makeup sale coming up in a week. And guess what, I am going.


*note the above list is totaled AFTER I threw things away… so yeah its pretty bad.
