The Hoarder

Ladies, I know you all do it. Whether it's with lipstick, face products or eye products, you all do it. You know when the time comes around to swap bags, or maybe your bag's getting too heavy and you decide to have a bit of a clear out, and you start taking out all of the beauty products... I'd be willing to bet that most of you will line them all up and look at them thinking "and why have I been carrying around 8 lipsticks?", "when did I ever think that I'd need to apply blue eyeliner halfway through my day of uni?" and "why do I have 3 different types of concealer in here?" I'd also be willing to bet that there's one type of product you seem to hoard in there, and for me it's lip products.

I looked through my bag a few nights ago when I was taking uni things out of it, and I happened to go into the little make up bag that I take around with me. It mainly contains three things: hair bobbles, my bus/train pass, and lipstick. 

When there are too many to fit in one photograph, you know there are too many, right? From L to R, top to bottom, we have: Rimmel Kate Moss 107, Mac Creme Cup, Beauty UK Snob, 17 Mirror Shine in Belle (broken, I might add, because the packaging is horrific in every single way), Body Shop Born Lippy in Watermelon, L'Oreal Caresse in Tempting Lilac, L'Oreal Caresse in Nude Ingenue, 17 Lip Liner in Claret. 

Realistically, I'm not sure why I've been carrying around that many products, but the lipstick junkie inside me is screaming "but...but... what if you suddenly want to wear a darker lip?"... I'm never even going to apply the broken one in public for fear of it falling out and onto whatever I'm wearing, and Snob is so matte that I can count it out for most of the winter. 

But, even as I write this, I'm not sure I can bring myself to put them back into my make-up collection and lighten my bag a little...

Surely there must be somebody out there who agrees with me on this? Are you a hoarder too? Let me know in the comments below :)
