Hi hi, I am not sure if this willl be a mini series as yet, but thought it would be interesting to do an inventory check of my stash.  But I shall go ahead, and call this a Part One!

Obviously, nobody needs this many blushes, and I have often wondered, whether to sell or not, and in the end, I end up keeping them, because each of these items has a story to tell.   It could be a travel story, a special trip to a country, a MAC Pro store, or stories of friends and relativeswho have helped me hunt down the products, stories of friendships, swap stories, birthdays, celebrations, that crazy sale etc etc and so on.  So, yes, in a way, they have sentimental value, and that's why I probably won't sell any of these blushes, even if many of them appear brand new, and some are still sealed in their plastic.

Others keep memories in photo albums, scrapbooks, songs, and all that,  but I guess my makeup stash is another way for me to archive and store great memories too.  (oh, don't call me a cheese-ball for saying all these, you know what I am talking about!)

Let's start with the  miscellaneous ones:

And lastly,

MAC blushes

I don't depot all these blushes, because I don't want to risk breaking them, and also single blushes are more travel friendly.

I may have left out a couple of  items in this entry, but I think this is my total blush stash at this point in time.

I am quite wary of buying any  more blushes these days, unless some good deal, or unique shades come along.  There are also brands which I have used and enjoyed in the past, such as the Shu Uemura blushes.... and brands which I know I better not venture into because they would be super exensive habits, such as Chanel.

I feel like doing foundation, concealer, lipsticks showcases.  Maybe when the next 'impulse' hits me!  :)

Thanks for looking!
