Isn't it like that especially with nude shades! I've bought at least 6 nude lippies this year and at first only liked 2 but now I LOVE them all! Lip liners transformed them from duds to studs! (Okay...that was corny...lol)

My April challenge is going to be to use a different set of products each day, set them in a basket, look in the mirror at the end of the day and decide whether the performance warrants a keep or a toss. I'm calling it Love It or Leave It April.
The only products I will use the same each day are:
MAC MSF Natural to set my foundation, Becca primer - that way I can judge the foundation itself and not wonder if it might be the powder or primer
My under eye setting powder - so I can judge the concealer itself
Eyeshadow primer
Brow products
Mascara
I don't have enough foundations, concealers, bronzers, or highlighters to do not have repeats for 30 days, so it will just be until I try each of the products I have. After I do all my foundations, I can use one consistently and test my setting powders. I figure April is a good time of year to test because it's not especially dry/cold/humid/hot so the performance of any product shouldn't be too affected by changes in my skin or the climate. Obviously there are things I favor in certain seasons but April should be good moderate temps for testing.
I believe I have enough blushes, lipsticks, and eyeshadow palettes/depotted shadows to not have any repeats for 30 days. I may repeat my neutral matte eye quad for working with single shadows, since I don't have enough crease colors or brow highlights to last a month. I am good about tossing any eyeliner that smudges or transfers, so I don't feel like I need to test through those.
I'm slightly fearful of what a mess this might make of my vanity with products out of drawers and into toss piles, but it will be worth it! I might need to start a big toss bag in my closet.
This is going to be fairly labor-intensive with reporting in my findings every day but it will be worth it to really get through my stash instead of grabbing what I know I love.
Anyone want to join me?

@Starlight77, I got two blushes and a mascara special. It was a splurge but I had planned for it several months ago and I have done so well at skipping Mac etc this year I felt justified. No guilt has set in so far and more than likely it won't as I have been much more careful and selective with my ins/outs. Enjoy love! BTW, I just packaged a blush to be mailed off tomorrow! I think that it would suit someone a bit lighter than me.

I am excited about the blush as I alway wanted gentle but a friend sent me a ton of blushes in a swap and I totally didn't need more especially with those proenza blushes staring at me every time I peek on that thread haha Hope you enjoy your goodies too!!

It's because Specktra friends are awesome!! I'm trying to talk myself out of them. I try to only buy MAC at the CCO. I figure if I can get it, it was meant to be but I'm so easily influenced and persuaded by swatches. I need to avoid collection threads to survive haha
