My makeup collection

I can’t believe I’m finally showing you this, it’s so embarrassing. Somehow my brain makes me believe I NEED all of this, even though I clarely don’t. You know you have a makeup obsession  when you feel you really have to have “that new limited edition eyeshadow Mac just launched which is just a smidgen lighter than a couple of other eyeshadows you have, but still not as light as those other ones. It’s unique!” Recognize yourself? ;D

Anyway, here is my collection and how I store it.

I organise it like this:

There you have it, my awful obsession. I almost feel like I’m uncovering my darkest secrets.. In fact, I’m planning on going through it all and putting some of it up in the blog sale like I have seen other bloggers do. I have so many items I have only used once or twice, even some that are unopened, and I do not need it even though I like to convince my self I do.

Do you have a makeup obsession?
