Mascara – a little hoarding tale
How many mascaras do you own? How many mascaras is enough? I don’t know what’s wrong with me but if I see a sale on mascara and it is one of my faves, I have to get it. LOL I have backups of backups.
This is a shame post. I was tidying up my makeup area and
started putting my unopened mascaras in a box and realized that there were
backups of backups, one I totally forgot I bought and quite a few samples. My
goal is to get through the samples in the next few months. The backups will
always get used as they are favorites.
All these mascaras are black, very black or blackest black. Geez I
should try a different colour sometime.
The Back Ups
The Samples
The Forgotten :P
I did toss out some old mascaras; such as my Volumious
waterproof that I use in the summer and the last of my Voluminous Million
Lashes mascara (love that stuff).
Am I alone in this? Are there any more mascara hoarders
out there? Help me....

I'm reading this and thinking, was this written about me? Haha. I typically have at least 2 unopened backups for my mascara, and I had 3 of the same liquid liner. I find these things that I love, on sale, and I keep buying them. Not to mention I have at least 10 black pencil liners, most of which have never even been opened. My back ups also have back ups. I'm a makeup hoarder, and I think I have a problem, lol. Glad to see, I'm not alone!

Oh thank god! Not alone! I have to stop myself from buying more mascara when I see it on sale.
DeleteI don't even want to show my eyeliner box. And it is the same here with unopened liners. I should count how many Black pencil liners I have. Ahhh it makes my head hurt cuz now I am thinking Well then I would have also count the liquid and gel liners too.
Is there a MUAA group somewhere? MakeUp Addicts Anonymous? LOL
I loved your post because I don't feel alone on that anymore, haha! Mascara is my favourite piece of cosmetics and I love to try new ones all the time, I never seem to get enough!

We are not alone! It may not be the 'funnest' cosmetic item we use everyday but it is one of the most important! At least that is what I tell myself when I buy yet another one! HA
DeleteI don't hoard mascaras, but I do enjoy trying different ones. lol I buy a different mascara every time, because there are so many to try!
ReplyDeleteOMG so many to choose from! and I must have them all! LOL
DeleteI think I am beating you...almost all of my mascaras are from samples and I find that I cannot go through them fast enough!! I'm a freakin' hoarder!! I find it so hard to throw out anything, but I know I'll have to at some point! Can we use mascara for anything else? Can it be multipurpose???
ReplyDeleteI like the samples cause they are smaller so you can finish it quicker and move on to the next one :-D
DeleteMy mum uses my rejected mascaras to cover her gray hairs when she goes out. LOL. But I don't think you have to worry about that yet ;-)
Oh hun,that is nothing compared to my addiction to mascaras. You are quite healthy :-)
ReplyDeleteOk so brace yourselves....I have 40 unopened mascaras (all drugstore)!!! Yeah, I know I have a disease and I also know I will never be cured. Lol.
I have 4 open ones that I am currently using and I will toss it after 3 months. In the future I will test and try out 3 mascaras at a time.
The saddest thing is there are so many more mascaras I want to try. I am still in the search for my HG mascara.
Do you have a HG mascara? What is your favourite?
OMG Forty? You are our Queen now LOL. A favorite of mine is Voluminous Million Lashes. Then Marcelle's Extension Plus, then Benefit's they're Real mascara, then...Haha I have lots of favorites!
DeleteLol. Mascara Queen,huh? I like the sound of that :-D haha. The most exciting part was sorting the 40 mascaras into groups of 3 or 4 and deciding which ones I'm going to use first. I'm set for 2013.hehe ;-)
DeleteI do have voluminous million lashes but I have yet to try it.
I have not tried any high end or department store makeup yet, I'm making the most of drugstore brands before I move on. I want to do a top 10 drugstore mascaras (as well as other makeup).
Btw I also hoard old mascara even though I don't use it anymore- I just get a sense of accomplishment seeing how many I have used up. Lol.
