Do you become attached to your make up?

I've always known that I tend to become attached to material items. Even as a child I recall being very loyal to my pencil bag, even when I damaged mine and wanted to steal my younger sister's, I just couldn't. Anyways, back to the topic at hand. I like to experiment with different make up brands, but I am very loyal to my first brands. I realized a few days ago that it was time to throw away an eyeshadow kit that I've had for way too long. I attempted to do a purple smokey eye and the shadows were crumbly and chalky. I realized I could no longer use that shadow, but I must admit that I haven't thrown it out yet. Why do I still have it in my make up drawer when I know that I will not be using it? I am a sucker for packaging.  The time had come to say good bye to my smokey eye palette. I don't have the space to keep make up palettes that I do not need. Do you keep make up around because you cannot force yourself to throw it away? I guess the same rule should apply; if you don't use it in X amount of time, throw it away. Here's to making more room in my drawer.                                                                        

Who's watching QVC?

Of course it always happens, QVC had gone a few weeks without any good make up shows and temptations and of course as the MAC to the beach collection approaches, they have two big make up shows on t.v. Who do they think I am, an ATM. It started off with Mally Beauty having three shows on Thursday. While I didn't buy anything, there were a couple items I continue to have my eyes on.

These are just a few of the items that I'm lusting after.

I will admit to making two QVC purchases this weekend. I couldn't resist. Smashbox showcased their Yellow Correcting Powder that will be shipped out in late June. It is supposed to counteract redness and it comes with a brush. Aside from the quality of the products, Smashbox always provides the brushes for their products. I didn't care for the Today's Special Value, which is Bare Minerals Faux Tan, but they did have a face kit that I've been eyeing for a few months. The price was too good to resist.Now the hard part is just waiting for my purchases.
