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.
