Diane I did have to laugh....

You are so sweet to say that but I am far from beautiful. Those genes just passed right over me. I've always thought the more makeup one feels they need to wear the less beautiful they are.

It was fun to wear and sadly gave me confidence but mostly I think it was more fun to buy it and of course the fun of keeping it. :D

Dianne, you must be very beautiful with all that makeup on!!!! Great you see the value in letting go of all that stuff you wear 2 times a year!!

Here I am doing my HAPPY DANCE for you!!! :D

More stuff ~

59 bottles of nail polish
14 more eye shadows (96 total)
1 pair gloves
1 pair socks (for wearing to bed with lotion)
39 eye liners
42 lipliners (55 total)
16 more lipsticks (155 total)
14 eye liner and lip liner sharpeners
13 mascaras
2 facial powders (8 total)
3 more eyelash curlers (7 total)

still much more.... :(

Rather than being happy I'm starting to get bummed about all the little crap. So I need to move on to something a little larger that will seem worth the effort ~ like washing and refilling all the litter boxes. Everybody here loves a clean litter box!

Today in dressingroom ~

3 expired med bottles
1 makeup brush cleaner
6 face powders
2 blushes
2 lip brushes
13 lip liners
139 lipsticks (for you Tillie :)
82 eye shadows

still a lot to go thru

At first I was looking at each lipstick. And noticed that each one was a little different about 1/4 inch down, Just a different texture. Without my new glasses I never would have noticed that. Pretty soon I wasn't even checking.

I kept one jar of loose facial powder, not to use, just to smell. It reminds me of my mom and when I was a little girl watching her put on makeup before going out with my Dad. She was so beautiful. :)

Gone are my very first eye shadows and lipsticks from high school in the 60's. Wasn't so hard. But just to make sure I wouldn't go back and take them out of the trash I put them in a bag of used cat litter! haha

Dianne, I am impressed with all you did today!!
Saturday:
1 bag of newspapers
1 cup
2 black leather purses
1 Japanese doll
8 cassettes
3 old shelf liners from old cabinet in garage
2 bowls
1 tall wooden santa with only one foot
7 books
1 "Stop the insanity" kit
1 christmas doll
2 bags of garbage
Total:
30 today

also did dishes cleaned bathroom floor, I was surprised the floor was dirty, once I cleaned last week, shouldn't it stay clean? Maybe it was 2 weeks ago, guess have to clean weekly, not going to clean itself after all.

Good work Tillie, and thanks for listing things that I had not thought of getting rid of like bath oil I don't like, good reading your list, made me think, you must really clean to have empty cleaning/polish containers, I have had those things for years, unopened, you are such a good example to us all.
