So my "use up the makeup" plan aka Laura's project 10 pan is proving to be harder than I thought. I've always had the habit of never throwing away any makeup and using something until its done, regardless of whether I liked it much or not. I might not use a product for weeks or even months, but eventually I'd find a use for it or develop a new liking for it, and it'd be used. However, I've never forbidden myself from buying more makeup while I was doing this. This proves to be a far greater challenge as it takes sooooo long to use up certain products like eyeshadows and blushes and I'm just itching to buy more. For Laura (lollipop26), lip products are the easiest to use up, which I tend to agree. I'm a hoarder of lip balms, they are probably my favorite item of makeup, and I have dozens that I've collected over the years, some to use, some as souvenirs (but I'll probably end up using them anyways), and some that were just on sale. Anyhow, I only brought a few that were currently being used with me this summer, but even those things, which I use religiously, are taking forever to get used up. If that's hard, imagine my powder products!!!
