I've come to the conclusion it's too bloody much my makeup and beauty products that is but I can't stop buying it lol, Blush
I've no real storage solution and feel it would be just easier in the morning ect to have a nice capsule makeup collection ( my best friend has one makeup bag with hers in ONE ) I could fill about twenty (terrible I know)
any other magpies out there or are do you have a capsule collection and if so how do you manage?

I have one make up bag where I keep everything. It's not an issue as I only wear a tinted moisturiser, mascara, eyeshadow and eyeliner. I used to buy cosmetics when I was bored often stuff which was fashionable but didn't suit me and it was hardly used.

not a make up magpie handbags

i have one bag. moisturising gel, moisturising cream spf20, mascara , 2eyeliner, one powder blush powder foundation not worn in summer, couple of lip sticks and balms and perfume, concealer
and a primer.

i cant get make up ro stay on my face so no point in investing. i much prefer a more understated look.

am 45 and the products i buy tend to be good ones. i also have clear skin so dont really need to cover up. thank god for teenage years are behind me

I bought a couple of those big clear acrylic vanity top makeup organisers. The kind you can stack in different configurations. I think it's four components stacked two by two. I try to keep my makeup pruned to what fits into those. It's a LOT of makeup. And it doesn't all fit: some big eyeshadow palettes are stacked next to them.

Ultimately, I am only going to buy shades that suit me but I have a lot of different versions of the same things. Like 8 foundations.

Yes I'm one too fortunately finances are tight or I would have bought more this week

I used to be be but have gone off buying makeup now for some reason. I still wear it but just keep it a lot simpler than I used to. Even when I read about new products I've got no interest in buying them, whereas I used to be really excited. Weird.
