Update: The Great Purge?

So I went into the summer with big plans to catalogue and take control of my rapidly growing makeup collection. Unfortunately, procrastination took root and the summer turned out to be a lot busier than expected. As you can probably tell from the lack of updates after my intro post, I didn't exactly complete my task of going through all the stuff I own and sorting through the whole mess. However, although I didn't do so well in terms of actually posting my results on here, in terms of actual decluttering, l did make progress!

As I evaluate all the stuff I own, I'll also be swatching and reviewing as many products as possible, since I spend enough time chattering away on  IMAM  anyways, and because there can never be enough honest reviews!
