I did until this past weekend - now I'm in the process of selling about 60% of what I had been hoarding. It was physically a painful process at first but now I'm kind of glad I did it. Now I have the items which I actually use and things are more organized. Doubtful it will stay this way for long, heh

Sadly, yes!
At the start of 2005 I rotated all my products but I was still only using about 40% of my m/u.
Now I only use about 10%.
So my resolution is to NOT buy anymore makeup! Only exception is foundation and mascara.
I had to call in for backup! I told my husband that if I bought anymore m/u this year he I want him toss out one product from my collection for each product I buy. He has to do it when I am not around so I can not stop him. This does not include items I ordered at the end of 2005 that have not arrived yet.
Extreme I know but I figure if I breakdown and buy something aproduct being tossed out will for sure keep me from buying again.
Part of the reason I did this is because I have a good bit of LE items and if I feel those could be in jeopardy I can practice better self control.

Well, the one thing I have too much of and end up neglecting are my pigments. I've had tan for 2 or 3 years I think. I inherited it from my mother, and its still damn near full. Fushia I've had since April, it's full. I've probably worn it twice. Thats why I just get my pal at the MAC store to give me samples. She fills the container up for me, none of that 1/4tsp stuff.

I have no self control when it comes to cosmetics. After coming out of Lingerie, I just purchased a ton of the new Shu Shadows (omg), 10 of the Chromeglass lipglosses and some stuff from Stila. A few people have mentioned (okay, everyone I know!) that I am out of control with the makeup but I look at it as a collection; and one that brings me enjoyment and fulfillment so I am going to keep going as long as I like. And if I have to get a bigger place to house my growing collection? Well... so be it.

I would love to keep buying but at this point in time I need to think about more important things. Over the past month we have had extended family issues and family members that need our help. I would much rather put the money that I would use on cosmetics to good use for my family.
The new collections are always a problem for me. I have no idea how I am going to resist but just thinking about my hubby tossing out an LE item of mine really helps!
Plus, I don't think my roll-around can hold much more makeup. Which means I would have to buy a bigger a roll-around. That would mean I would have to reorganize my closet. Of course I always have my office closet....
