I'm incredibly proud because I just finished cleaning out my stash, and I'm such a dork that I had to share (I know you all know the feeling)! If I tried to share this with my friends they'd think I am crazy! Anyway, I'm happy to say that I love everything in my stash right now. I threw out a few lippies that were either too pale for me or too dark (all impulse purchases, darnit) and I rediscovered some lippies that I haven't used in a while that I'm going to rotate. In particular I seem to neglect my lipsticks in favor of my glosses, so I need to work on using my lipsticks more, especially the beautiful shade that is Mellow Flame. I'm only lemming two lippies at the moment, which are Stila Brown Sugar Lip Glaze and Prescriptives Comet Moonbeam Reflective Gloss. I may get them this weekend as I'm not really interested in anything from the new MAC collections. So, here is my beloved stash! :)

Marisa, your stash is just such a great size! I've been going through my lip stuff, trying to get rid of what I don't use. Does your Soft & Slow l/g smell at all funny? I bought 3 lipglasses from that same collection (Bare Truth, Soft & Slow, and Illicit), and they all smell a little "off" to me. Just wondering if it was me or not. Oh, and did you know MAC's got a couple of collections coming out this summer with new pigments? I know you like them, too. I'm excited!

Wow! I'm so jealous! I have so much stuff that I need to go though & weed out...I'm trying really hard to use stuff up right now. I especially need to go through all of my e/s :rolleyes:

I haven't noticed any "off" smell with my Soft & Slow lipglass, but I'll give it a sniff tonight and let you know. I did see the new pigments (on Specktra I believe) and I was drooling! I use my pigments more than anything else, and I love hauling when they come out with new ones. :)

What a great stash, Marisa! It's the perfect size, IMO. Your pigment collection is great. How do you have everything stored?

That sounds like a great collection, and very manageable too. :) If you have things that you love equally, you'll use all of it.

That sounds awesome.
I need to work on mine, it's slowly overflowing haha.

I have it all stored in a large silver Caboodles traincase that I got at Target. It's perfect, and it was only $25!

That's a really nice collection, Marisa.
I cleaned out my stuff back in January and now I'm more careful about what I buy because it bummed me out having to throw out stuff that went bad.
I see you have Ginger and Fawn Px blushes. Can you compare them for me?
I've seen them on the site but always wondered how different they were.

I loveee doing makeup spring cleaning! I try at least once a year (or less, depending on how much I bought) and I feel so good after!

I agree with everyone, your stash is the right size. I just cleaned my stash a couple of months ago and it's no where near as good as yours. That's OK tho, I'm telling myself and everyone that Noelle will inherit all my makeup from me, lol.

Fawn is a matte peach, while Ginger is shimmery and a tad deeper. They are different enough to warrant owning both. ;)

Thanks for the info.
Ginger sounds wonderful. I'll need to see them in person to decide if I don't already own something similiar to either of them.

I really want to swoop down into your apartment in the middle of the night, and take off with your MAC pigment collection. ;)
