I started this challenge on the 18'th of September. I'm trying to pan NYX Nude on nude Natural kit palette. I hope to finish it by the end of this year, but this time frame could change. Photo I post now is from my intagram account and was posted on the 18th of September. I will do an update soon.

My make up inventory #1: foundations, BB-, CC-creams, tinted moisturisers.
I'll start my make up inventory series. I have to do it step by step, cause I have a little baby boy. Today's blogpost is about my foundation-type products.
I will post some photos and also tables I've created.
Foundations.
Here is a table, where I've written down all my foundations. Foundation, what I will keep in my make up collection (for now at least) are highlighted with blue and marked with "+". My ideal number of foundations is highlighted with yellow.
BB creams, CC creams, tinted moisturisers.

Why I started this blog?!?
I have makeup collecting problem
and I'm TRYING to stop. I just want all the makeup and I can't finish what I
have. Even if I'm happy with a product I'm using, for some reason, I always
think I might like some new one (that is basically the same) better. I'm
starting to get the same way with skincare - so I need to slow my roll there as
well. I'm going to make a resolution to not become a beauty products hoarder.
I'm sure, I don't have the biggest hoard, but I have a hoard none the less. I
don't think I need to have a large makeup collection before I start thinking
about "hoarding". Size is relative. And my collection is plenty big
enough for me. My makeup items are all over the place and sometimes I forgot
other makeup because their all stored up. I've actally really run out of space
to store it and all these drawers full of lispticks, palettes etc, make me
uncomfortable and unhappy.
Please don't get me wrong. If you can afford
tons of make up and if you really enjoy it, there's absolutely nothing wrong
with a large and well-loved beauty stash.
But for me – all this make up don’t make me happy. I do like variety, but variety with hundreds of eye shadows, foundations, lipsticks etc is too much for me. I know realistically I can't use 50 eye shadows or 15 blushes all almost the same colours. The number I have is ridiculous (at least for me) and they are all basically the same 3 colours repeated by different brands. I don’t enjoy my makeup collection - so what’s the point?

What I'm going to do?
I’m doing a make up inventory (working on it right now). I’m
making a list of all my makeup. I’ll check what I already have and find out what
I will keep. Then I’ll organize my makeup storage, so I'll have easy access
to anything I want to use. I’ll also challenge myself with
different pan-hitting projects. This blog hopefully helps to keep me motivated, cause I'll write about my progress. It’s going to be a quite long journey. I’m
mostly doing it for myself, but if there’s someone who finds this interesting,
please feel welcome to follow my progress.
