Blonde Logic
Yes. You can.
I just had a little clear out of some toiletry/beauty products that I have had in tubs for months. With all my new butters and oils I bought yesterday, I wanted to set up a little "pamper station" in my bedroom.
So I pulled out the tubs, and two chests of makeup. Laid it all out, and oh my goodness. WHat a lot of lovely stuff I have bought over the years and never used!!! It was almost as if I have been hoarding these things. Most of them are brand new, never used....and some were new but had to be thrown out as they had gone off!
It is interesting I have all this stuff as I don't use a lot of it. I have makeup, eyeshadow, blusher, bronzers, eye liners, mascara, lipstick, concealer, gold dust, shimmery things....ALL sorts. ANd I don;t wear make up!!! I wear a tiny bit of blush, eyeliner, mascara occasionaly, and tint my brows and thats it!! Days off and weekends, I am au natural. I could have a case in Boots I have so much stuff!! I cannot bring myself to throw it away as so much money was spent on it! But why do I have it!!??
Why do I do that? It's the same with food...or was. I had enough food in here to feed a family of 5 just for the two of us. And much of it just sat there on the shelves, year upon year. Never ate. Just there.
Is this another source of comfort? Having so many things??
Well, I managed to fill a carrier bag with things to dispose of, and a few things to bring to mates at work. I do now have a little tiny chest of drawers full up of some lovley things to use. I even found a bottle of Clarins Firming shower gel that has never been used!! So, I am going to make it a point to start using these products, treating myself and my skin better. But I really do question my motives in amassing all of this.
Anyone else do this?
