Sooooo cute! YAY the memories!
I was doing monthly makeup bags before and found that very helpful in rotating my stash! I'm going to try to go back to that after this challenge. Or maybe designate a palette a week or something! I really want to get to know my stuff better... and these types of challenges really help me do that!

Yes memories for sure. Especially that mine are very young. One is 5 yrs old and the other is 5 months. They are my world Yeah a palette a week may help a lot. My problem is I keep gaining more stuff and the newer ones become favorites and the old are just kinda left to rot. This was an awesome challenge to make me use things I haven't in forever. There is a you tuber (forget her name) but she does a "face of the month" which is her go to look for the whole month. I may do that weekly as a month is too long for me. My hubby did make a good point though, I told him I was trying to cut back and he said why? I said because it's too much.. He said that we have makeup collections and we should have a lot we don't wear often. It's a collection, That's what collections are. He then went on about his tools and how he doesn't use some for over a year but he'd never part with them etc He's so sweet. He also doesn't realize how makeup expires eventually but his enthusiasm for my collection and the fact he was sad I swapped stuff out to lessen it was cute.

Awwww adorable... the kids, the hubby, ALL of it! I think it's very sweet that he supports your collection and love of makeup. SO many significant others don't at all! But it's good that you realize a makeup item isn't a collectible like a tool. It WILL get to a point where you can't use it or sell it. With your babies and family taking up a lot of your time, I think he likes knowing that you have that little something that brings you joy... and is just a fun hobby for you! And there honestly isn't ANY value that can be put on that! So GOOD FOR HIM! Give him a big Specktra hug for us!!
My monthly bag wasn't just one look, but it was a more condensed set of products. So I wouldn't be as overwhelmed by the massiveness of my collection! A couple different eyeshadow palettes, several lipstick choices... that kind of thing. I would hate to do a "face of the month." I would get bored out of my mind!
Now that I have finally got all my makeup organized in my Elfa system, I think it's much easier for me to use my goodies! I can see everything and quickly access the variety that I have! I am definitely enjoying my makeup so much more now! But I think choosing a "palette of the week" might be my next challenge... to help me focus on trying to diversify my eye looks.

Yes he's awesome. 13 years and still going strong! He knows it's just a hobby but I don't think he would want to actually add it up at cost. He may change his views haha I think the palette of the week would be great. I'm also going to try and not do any lipstick repeats in a week as well. I don't wear a lot of makeup in the summer as I'm in sprinklers or the pool with the kids so should be easier. Although I've warned my husband that a large purchase will be happening soon at MAC with the aquatic collection. I really do need a cheaper hobby lol

Thanks doll! I am busting at the seams with pride for that little nugget! His tenacity and drive blow me away! I know I was NOWHERE NEAR as goal oriented and motivated as he is when I was that age! (And you would be one adorable mama! No rush...)
I think she and Bert are having twins.(Conceived during the Sex Fantasy Blush date).
I wanna know too! I don't like secrets.

Day 1: L'Oreal Extraordinaire Fushia Drama - A tad to bright/blue toned and very much a statement - great on days where my clothes are really classic and I want a statement, i like the formula it is staying. Day 2: MAC Viva Glam Cyndi Lipstick - I don't wear this enough but I like it, going to keep for now and try to use more often. Day 3: Chanel Coco Rouge Shine in Romantic - An HG lippie, the perfect pink, bright enough to lift my face and give me colour without be over the top for work. This isn't that far from being finished and I wanted to repurchase, but only once i have been through all of my lippies and made sure I don't have anything like it. Day 4: Sleek Matte Me in Brink Pink - this went in the bin after - it is awful! It was too fluro for me and too drying I wiped it off before I even got to work! Day 5: Revlon Lip Butter in Wild Watermelon - I like this colour its a nice cross over, not too pink, not too red and not too orange. i like that it has no glitter and its a nice summer bright - keep pile Day 6: Revlon Lip Butter in Sorbet - LOVE, again a cream formula, no glitter/sparkle but nice and juicy looking, good staying power and leaves a nice stain. Keeping it! Day 7: Revlon Lip Butter in Sweet Tart - A more toned down version of Sorbet - again a nice cream, enjoyed wearing this, keeping it! Day 8: Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake - this one doesn't work too well on me its going in the disposal bag! The formula is again a cream, but its less juicy and more opaque, it clings to my dry bits in a way Sorbet and Sweet tart don't, also the colour is too baby pink with too much white in it, I don't think this works for me anymore, I prefer stronger colours with less white - this has gone in my disposal bag! Day 9: Revlon Lip Butter in Macaroon - this was my favorite originally, but now I think i prefer Sorbet and Sweet Tart ? I think it is a lovely colour, but this one has glitter in it, at the moment its staying, but tempted to move it to the disposal bag. A wait and see shade. Day 10: Revlon Lip Butter in Candy Apple - this is a stayer, again a clear juicy lip butter with no glitter, a very wearable red. its a a Keep. Day 11: Revlon Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti - think this might be leaving, lovely formula just don't think the colour works on me :-( The orange just doesn't look that amazing on my skin tone, i want to love it but i don't, its in the dispose bag. Day 12: L'Oreal Extraordinaire Rose Symphony for a girls shopping day - swapped for Chanel Rouge Allure Laque in 707 empire for a date! The L'Oreal is a good every day colour, staying in the keep pile, these are lovely opaque glosses that leave a slight stain, nice than the YSL glossy stains in my opinion. The Chanel is a favourite formula of mine, wish they hadn't discontinued it. I have been rationing this, but now I am not going too, i love it and should use it more. Day 13: Bourjois Shine Edition in Famous Fushia - hot pink, my favourite colour at the moment - not sure this is as good as Revlon Sorbet though ? Not sure if the formula of these are as good as the Revlon lip butters ? Its a keep for the moment, but once the 30 days are up I intend to play it off against Sorbet and only keep the best one! Day 14: Revlon Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya My last lip butter! definately a better colour on me that Tutti Fruiti so I may keep this as a peachy lip option! After a Full day of wear I am now not so sure....thinking this can go peach and orange don't seem to be my colours! Currently sitting in the "to go bag" Day 15: Bourjois Shine Edition in 21 Rouge Making of - a gorgeous orange toned red, no glitter/shimmer I love it....more than Candy Apple from Day 10: its less muted but still wearable. Hmmm, I may give these too a face off along with Revlon LB in Sorbet and BSE in Famous Fushia. Day 16: L'Oreal Extraordinaire Molto Mauve - wearing exactly the same make up as yesterday apart from the lippie! Definitley a keeper. Very wearable and moisturising too after a whole days wear. Day 17: Bourjois Rouge Edition in 17 Rose Millesime - hmmm its ok, a coral pink no glitter or shimmer, a cream but not shiney. Bog standard really and so far it looks ok and feels ok on the lips, but it is just ok. This challenge has made me rethink the lippies I want to buy! I nearly acquired a bourjois rouge edition velvet when they were released yesterday, but the sleek matte me didn't work for me so I held off. when they are in store I may get one to test the formula. I have loads of points on a loyalty card - thinking I want to spend it on make up at some point this year but currently holding onto them as I really don't want to waste them! I may swatch the new Estee Lauder or Dior Lipsticks and get one of those and save the rest. But for now i am going to try to resist and continue to destash my lippie draw!

@HerGreyness: Dish, girl! Now you have to tell us!
Hugs to everyone who lost a beloved one! I read all the posts yesterday morning and it made me tear up. I'm very close to my family and seeing that I lost my grandpa not long ago, this hit close to home.
Lipstick challenge:
Day 1: MAC Hot Gossip
Day 2: MAC Fanfare
Day 3: Burt's Bees Tinted Lipbalm Pink Blossom
Day 4: Burt's Bees Tinted Lipbalm Pink Blossom
Day 5: Maybelline Blushing Beige
Day 6: MAC On Hold
Day 7: Astor Lip Butter Unguilty Pleasure
So far I like every lipstick/lipbalm I've worn during this challenge. Not so sure about Fanfare, though. It pulls way too yellow and coral on me. I can't B2M it because I got it via B2M, so I think I'll try and use it up.

I don't think that matters. I've B2M'd lippies that I got thru B2M lots of times. They just mark the tube so you can't return it for any value... so that they know it's a B2M obtained item and not a purchase. It's still usable for B2M. HTH@HerGreyness: Dish, girl! Now you have to tell us!

Updated list: 1: Dior Addict - 583 Backstage 2: Clarins Joli Rouge Brilliant - Sweet Plum 3: Mac - Outrageously Fun 4: Mac - What A Feeling 5: Mac - Plumful 6: YSL Rouge Pur Couture Golden Lustre - 110 Fuchsia Symbole 7: Mac - Grand Dame 8: Mac - Just a Bite 9: Clinique Chubby Stick - Woppin' Watermelon 10: Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Ultra - Rose Aurora 11: Dior Diorific - 046 Minuit Not 100% sold on this. The colour is pretty, but I think there's something about it that just doesn't work for me. Maybe the sparkly matte finish, or maybe it was just that I didn't wear it with a full face and it's a touch too formal for that. I'll give it another chance, but this may be going in my swaps. 12: Mac - Morning Rose 13: Mac - Dreaming Dahlia 14: Dior Addict - Espiegle
