I say so many times on here OMG I cannot get enough of *insert item* its usually nude lipsticks, brown eyeshadows and highlighters. Because I really can never have enough...
But there are some products out there that I just will not have more than one of in my collection, I am on a strict one in - one out, won't have two of rule. I didn't ever mean to do this, but these are the things I simply don't feel the need to buy more of - until I am finishing the one I am using. Obviously there will be slight brakes to this, but most of the time this is it. So here are the products that I do this with - They tend to be colourless....
1. Primer. Currently Using: YSL Blur Primer
Primer just doesn't excite me. I have big pores and oily skin, I have never been outright impressed by a primer so one which will do the job does me fine. Maybe I should invest in more, but right now I won't - until this one is finishes - cause it was EXPENSIVE. lol
2. Foundation. Currently Using: Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear
I love foundations, but I am a lover of full coverage foundation, as much as occasionally I will try to pretend I like less coverage - this isn't the case. I use one foundation at a time, and I spend HOURS investigating which one will be the next one, because I do not want to be disappointed by a base. There is nothing worse. I went from MAC Studio Fix, to Nars Sheer Glow, to Double Wear, To this one. I use it up and buy another. This one is AMAZING. It stays put on my oily skin, and I have a funny feeling this will be the first one I repurchase (maybe)
3. Concealer. Currently Using: Kat Von D Lock-It
I need concealer as much as the next makeup lover. I have big under eye bags. So I use it like mad. I just hate the idea of having so many open tubes, so I now just do one in, one out. The problem I am having with this one - is I stupidly let the girl colour match me, and it isn't pale enough *cries* - but still, I will finish it before buying another one. Because they go gunky and off quickly. And I have no need for lots.
4. Eye Shadow Primer. Currently Using: MAC Paint Pot "Soft Ochre"
This works. Why would I buy another? I just don't see the point - it does the job.
5. Setting Powder. Currently Using: Essence All About Matt
Again, this works, its cheap, it does a good job, There is no point in having another one (unless its for putting in my handbag) this is the best one though, this is my 3rd in a row, I love it.
6. Setting Spray. Currently Using: Gerrard Cosmetics Slay All Day Peach
AKA fancy water. These last for ages, and even then I feel like I am buying expensive water, but I don't see the point in having too many of them, I mean they are good, and I use them for eyeshadows all the time, but I just don't see the difference between them all, if you buy a good one there is no point in having more than one.
7. Mascara. Currently Using: Loreal Baby Roll
These dry up and go off so quickly. These also freak me out with regards to eye infections. So instead of replacing every 6 months I replace every 3-4. This means I only have one open at a time to ensure I am getting my money worth.
8. Liquid Eye Liner. Currently Using: BarryM Eye Define
Exactly the same as the mascara, I just don't see the point in having a lot of them, I know what works, and I know what I am looking for - and these dry out so quick, and I like to replace them often :)
I hope I haven't offended anyone here, I am in no way saying you cannot have more than one of these, it is just the things I choose to keep one of, and the things I don't get as excited by!
Is there anything you only have one of? Let me know in the comments below! :)
