Taking stock

Today I decided to count all of my makeup.  Yes, ALL of it, including nail polish.  I know my collection isn't nearly as big as some, but I still wondered how many of what I had.  This is what I came up with-

Lip products:

96

(I was going to do it by glosses, lipsticks, and liners and forgot and just counted it all together.)

Eye products:

eye primers

4

cream eye liners

6

eyeshadow palettes

41

eyeliners (pencil)

22

single eyeshadows

21

loose pigments

62

liquid liners

3

mascaras

6

Face products:

foundations

13

concealers

3

powders

4

blushes

28

bronzers

5

primers

3

Nail polish

292

607 items.  SAY WHAT?! The big shocker for me was nail polish because I thought I only had about 200.  And I have given away probably at least 30 bottles-I had over 300 nail polishes!  Palettes were another number I was a little surprised with.  But those Wet N Wild trios, 6 pans, and 8 pans add up quick! (Along with the other palettes I have.)

I must admit I have a sick feeling in my stomach now.  I do have a few things on my wish list, which I have been waiting to get until we get our tax refund back.  After counting everything I think I can safely say after I make those purchases, my low-buy is NEEDED and I think knowing how much I already have will make it pretty easy.

You'll notice I didn't include perfumes, skincare, or hair care in my tally.  Probably a good thing-when I saw 607 I felt a bit faint.  I'd hate to see what it is including these other things.
