First: what does this picture have to do with the subject? Well, the Lancome Maison blush was one of the most expensive make-up items I have bought ( retails for about 50 Euro - don't tell my husband ). And will it be used? I don't think so. I know, that with every swipe of the brush, some of its beauty will get lost - gone forever ( it's a limited edition ).
See, I have 4 kids. When there's food and diapers and piano lessons to afford there's not much money left for make-up. So I wanted to share with you what I do to still be able to afford things like the Lancome Maison. We've all bought a make-up item that hasn't lived up to our ( very high ) expectation, it's a lemming thing, we buy stuff because other people have hyped it up, on youtube or a blog, etc. Then we don't like it and it disappears in our make-up collection. Well, not with me, everything that I don't use regularly gets sold again or traded for something else. There's tons of websites where you can offer your stuff to be sold or traded, just google them. I do that with make-up, with my clothes, purses, jewellery - even my kitchen appliances ( most of my Tupperware stuff gets sold again within the first year if I find I don't use them often enough ).
You will not build up a large collection this way, but collecting make-up is supposed to be a practical collection ( says the woman who has just admitted she'll never touch the 50 Euro blush ). You want to have pretty things that make you look pretty. If they don't - trade them for something that will do the job better.
