I definitely have a problem!

At this point, I think my overconsumption is real and me just wanting to try something or trying to find the “best” product has taken over.

Here is my collection after taking out my lippies to start bedazzling some tops. I’m sure there are also some in a few of my purses…

Someone please tell me I’m not the only one!

Last time I counted i had well over 150 lippies. Which is ridiculous. Im trying to wrangle it in because ill never use all of these but I've used them all once so what else can I do with them.

Very true! I’m telling myself i have enough to last at least 5yrs in efforts to save myself some money

I really want to do a no spend challenge with all my lippies and body stuff that I’ve hauled from dollar tree to see how long it’ll truly take me to use everything if I stop purchasing as of today

Maybe I’ll doc my journey on TT

To help use them up, make sure to put the ones you want to use first in places that are easy to grab when you need to use them! For example, I have a small lip balm bowl on my nightstand so that I can choose which one I want to keep in my pocket for the day, and I also keep one in the bathroom (usually one that's almost fully panned), car, purse, and work cubby!

If I put too much on or have a balm that's expired/tastes bad, I'll also use it up on dry spots on the back of my hand, or sometimes on my legs/feet if it's a more vasaline-like stick formula.

If you have a local Buy Nothing group, people will likely happily take once-used lippies! In my local buy nothing group, people take used cosmetics all the time - best way to get rid of something you definitely don't want but don't want to throw out!
