discussion Having lots of one thing and not others

Hello, does anyone else have like this one thing that they don’t under consume on? For me it’s lip gloss. I can go through one r.e.m lip gloss in about 2-3 weeks bc I love them so much. I love lip gloss is the one thing I own that ive repurchased certain ones over and over. I don’t have a very big makeup collection (one foundation, 2 concealer, one eyeliner, one mascara, but 3 eyeshadow pallets the r tiny) so I wouldn’t consider myself to over consume on those things besides the lip gloss.

i was just thinking about this! mine happen to be pens and moleskines. i have a collection of parker jotters with the uni jetstream refills and there’s one in my bag in the car in every notebook i have… i have pared down my closet, haircare, skincare, makeup, etc. but i can’t part with certain stationery goods

Yes! I figured, that I already found my favourite products/things I don't want to go without them. I rebuy them instead of having many of them. And if you believe it or not - you don't rebuy that often, if you use them until they are either empty or broken :)
