Please know that this is my old makeup collection. And yes, I realize it's much more than what one person needs. You see, I love makeup, it's my hobby and I've worked full time for almost 20 years now. Rarely buying anything other than mascara. So what happened?
In 2008, I discovered the KZfaq beauty community and got bitten by the makeup bug. I got hooked on watching hauls and started treating myself to makeup all the time. I admit, I kinda became a hoarder, thinking I needed to buy every product that I liked and thinking I needed to get something from every new limited edition collection. Before I knew it, I had spent too much hard earned money on too many beauty products, that I was never going to be able to finish entirely myself.
I was pretty upset with myself for becoming so excessive. So in 2012/2013 I began donating hundreds of beauty products to my local Women Helping Women shelter and gave lots of makeup items away to friends and family. They were all so happy! And... I was happier too. I stopped buying excessively. It was a surprisingly difficult habit to break.
I have a passion for makeup but now I have found balance as well. It's currently 2014, I have a great little collection, filled with only things I love and use regularly. Many of you have followed this journey with me, thank you for all your support and friendship. I have the best subbies ever! Love you guys so much! xoxo Christine
