My stash is down to bad combo of in-work make-up buying/freebies, using less make up in retirement and it getting sort of forgotten about due to big building jobs 7 and 5 years ago. I wore a lipstick yesterday, so I'm just going to have to start wearing it again. And blusher, there's a good few those too, and just when make up has been pared down. Thanks for your input and also thanks for your heads up on Essex temperatures, TP adjusted his capsule accordingly and is very grateful.<br />Phew, this was long reply!

The lipsticks maybe would be ok, I've had some of mine over six years and still use those.<br />Laurie xxVanity And Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14724087064353830994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-19527913496399792602017-12-01T10:22:32.380+00:002017-12-01T10:22:32.380+00:00Oh I was devastated too, and I was there for 3 wee...Oh I was devastated too, and I was there for 3 weeks.

Your journey sounds similar to mine (apart from the downsizing!), the focus shifts from slap to serum on retirement. The lure of words like freedom and liberation are selling it to me. Dump and be done!<br />BTW, I tried to get in touch with you when I was over in October, hoping to meet you for that coffee. I tried via your link but maybe you didn't receive it your end.

Old make-up is bad and it often gets a funny smell. We down sized nearly two years ago and I threw so many beauty products, toiletries, stale perfumes away. It was very liberating. I now only have current items and they are much reduced. I've found as I get older I use less make-up but much, much more moisturiser, day/night creams, eye serums, rich cleansers, etc. Stating the obvious really. My usual make-up is reduced to one small make-up bag just 8 items - light moisturiser as a base, light mousse foundation, concealer, blusher/highlighter, loose face powder, one eye shadow palette with four colours in it, mascara and lipstick/lip-gloss (I do have other lipsticks to ring the changes with colour but have counted lipstick as just one item). Just think how free you will feel once all is thrown away plus you will have cleared some space for other loveliness such as jewellery or scarves.
