Back on the shopping my stash challenge but, its kind of indefinitely. My cosmetic/product hoard is honestly overwhelming and I have a whole lot of life I want to live and I'm not sure if makeup is going to be part of it. This journey has been a long one with two computer crashes and a faulty canon snapshot to boot, I think that I may cut my losses and bounce from digging myself further into the makeup rabbit hole. Over the years and yes I have been blogging for a few years now, has often led me to hoard onto ingredient listing, labelling and products I'm not too fond of only to make posts on thing that I really don't care too much about ...
I'm not really a social media savvy person and this blog has been my journeying into the makeup world and I guess this post is my start to get out of it. I'm not sure if you've noticed that I don't really have advertisements on my blog and that I am not affiliated or linked to any but, recently I have reached out to companies and if I'm ever lucky enough to work with a brand, then I guess will I be featuring new stuff. Otherwise, expect to see what's left in my makeup cubbyholes.
*Coughs* Below, I have anticipated that firstly you care and secondly answered your concerns because ... I think of all things *chuckles.
What has brought this on? Well, a few of my lipsticks have already expired and in essence, that has summed up the futility of my wanton affiliation with makeup when other things need my direct attention. I need discipline and the amount of focus I have put on makeup has been an escapism from what I really need to focus on. I've been asking myself some big questions and I think I'm ready to let go and move on to better things that I value and will enjoy.
Is this the end of the blog? Umm, naw, perhaps ... I'm just freeing myself from thinking "oh I need to/can blog about this or that and buying new things for reviewing purposes and caring about it far too much" when it actuality my values, needs, wants and desires lay elsewhere.
But how will you survive without buying makeup indefinitely? Well, if you notice the indefinitely is in italics so, I'm pretty sure that means until I either get rid, donate or use up what I have. This is a personal challenge that I'm not going to beat myself up about too much but, I will actively be avoiding making any new purchases for this remaining year. Imma gonna be tough on me for this one *grrrr* - I mean I essentially lasted 6 months already before falling for a nail polish so I can do this.
What will you be blogging about then? Makeup (lol), Book tings, Hair stuff (yes I have not forgotten) music and self development. Who knows you may seem me skydiving soon ... haha not! I guess what ever passes my fancy.
Is this part of your minimalism or are you just focusing on makeup? Oh yeah that ... yep I guess its a general whittle down of everything.
What about perfume? Yep that's been hit too. I think I may try out one or two to compare but other than that - I have enough perfume to be smelly for a long-long time.
What about all the posts you promised/suggest?! Ahh! calm down, they're in the pipeline *Nude Lip Posts, Updated Foundation, Eye shadow palettes, Hair Care update and lip reviews of course, are coming.
Alright now that's I've got this out the way - if in the future I don't post for a long while - realise I have escaped the escapism trap or at least I'm trying.
