As part of our participation in Fashion Rehab, at the beginning of the project, we took stock of what we owned. As I perused and added up all my beauty products, I was genuinely horrified to discover I had 83 pots of eye shadow. A huge contributer to this was a large compact I had bought at Saks that housed close to half of that massive number, but nonetheless...
Upon successful completion (yay!) of the project, I addressed my makeup collection with my newfound conscious shopper's eye. After discussing it with the lovely Miss A, I realized it was time to chuck almost all 83 pots and start anew. Being fair-eyed, fair-skinned and fair(ish)-haired, I knew I only really wore a handful of colors on a regs basis. We both agreed I should find myself an all-in-one compact that would do the trick. I think Benefit Cosmetics new Maggie Collection in Sunday Funday may be the one - there's even a mini Hoola bronzer and the infamous Benetint!
What do you think?

Makeup is one of the items that I have vowed not to purchase anymore of, until I've used up all that I have.
It's cute, though.
I agree that cleaning and sorting out our makeup collection is necessary after a while if only just to refresh it and try new things.
Benefit has the best things, its so natural and soft.

I have a lot of makeup that I don't wear. Especially during the summer when I only wear an spf lotion, blush, mascara and lip gloss.
Then my foundations, eyeshadows, liners and anything else sits and I end up tossing because you are only supposed to keep things for a year! (or less, but I go with year).
I think tossing the excess is the right way to go.
Chic on the Cheap
