Shopping in my stash is one of my favorite things to do! If I ever feel bored with my makeup or if I really want to buy something new I go to my stash and dig around to find something I haven't used in a while. It feels like getting something new, but nothing is wasted and no money spent. My most recent rediscovery was my Almay Whippd Gloss in red. I am so in love with this gloss!! The texture is really nice and it is such a pretty red color on me. I wore it today over a red-brown lipstick. Funny thing, I put the lipstick on and then decided it was more brown than I wanted today, so I just put the red gloss over to get a nicer color.

But anyway, shopping in your own stash is so much fun. I challenge you all to go find something in your stash that you forgot you had!

i love it!!!! one time it turned out i had 3 milani luminous blushes!!!!! LOL!!!! i ended up putting one in my every day kit and one in my kit for doing makeup on others and gave the other to my cousin!!!

That is an awesome idea. I need to do that more often. I just keep buying and adding more to the mix! I will do that tomorrow, see what gems I can find.

Wow! 3 Milani Luminous?? How did you end up with three and not realize it?

[makeupfreak72]

thats before i started coming on mut and the name wasnt as known to me when i bought them as it is now, so i must have been like "ooh, pretty blush" and bought it without realizing i already had it. so now i get so familarized with color names, i know what i have LOL!!!!

Hi Suzuki Girl,

I do this quite often.

I'm guilty of NOT shopping in my stash... It's not a huge one anymore either though... Oh wait, it never was! LOL!

[Pauline]

Yes its a great idea...and since we change over time, something that we didin't like then we might love now.

i really need to start rotating my stuff, i'm guilty of wearing the same things over and over again.

[Marisol]

I should... but I don't. I shop at MAC.

I'm pretty guilty of not shopping in my stash. Sometimes, I am in Wal-Mart or CVS and don't really have any intentions of getting make-up, but somehow lipgloss, blush, etc ends up in my cart. I have some stuff that I have hardly used or only worn once, so next time I want something new I'll shop in my stash!! hehe

I had originally picked up MACs Tigerlilly/Bloomsberry at my CCO as a highlighter for my cheeks. Afterwards I didn't like it and was too lazy to take it back. Well today I was playing in my makeup and used it as a highlighter for my browbones and it is amazing. Another thing I picked up again was my Midtone Sepia CCB. I had bought it as an eyeshadow base and it didn't stay on my oily eyelids but yesterday I read the Paints +CCB thread that MACGoddess posted and it really works! I paired it withTanRay and it's awesome...now I don't feel guilty about buying things and not using them !

I need to do this more often.
