Gotta get them all...?

Hey I'm blogging today cause I have a bad case of the "gotta catch 'em all" (pokemon merchandising catch phrase) after seeing that MAC has brought out their tartan collection. Me, I cant just buy one!

BUT the thing is these things in AUSTRALIA are ranging from $35-$85 each at a normal price

I just cant do it, Plus I would like to point out that I just completed a PURGE of my makeup for spring/summer. ERRR, it was so painful to do it.

This also brought up my collecting habit into mind in the regards of if I buy more than can be used before the expiry I will have to continue the pain of throwing out good expensive products that have not been shown any attention. :(

Therefore I have now realized that you can only buy a product after the time specified below,if you still have the old one left and you desire not to have to throw out the previous ones you bought:

1. Mascara, liquid or gel eyeliners: 4 to 6 months (always toss out dry mascara—never add water to extend its life)
2. Moisturizers, Serums, & Foundations: 6 months to 1 year
3. Powder-based products: 2-3 years
4. Lipsticks, Lip Gloss, & Lip Pencils: 2-3 years

Confession time: I have over 10 lipglosses bought in the one year.... (: o)

I have powders that are older than stated above that I refused to throw out cause they are BEAUTIFUL (I will never tell just how old)

So I'll see how I do... Plus this will help me do the 10 to 1 goal. (for every 10 used I go and buy 1)
