For
those who are regular blog readers, you probably see various beauty challenges
across a range of different sites. I’m definitely not strong-willed enough to
partake in a project pan (I love too many products to rid myself of them!) but
the Perfume Purge I undertook before
we moved in the house was something that I almost enjoyed.

| my initial perfume challenge |
Using the
same group of perfumes day in and day out was a little bit frustrating, but not
having to cart some of these bottles to my new house was well worth the
challenge! I ultimately failed this Perfume Purge as I didn’t manage to get
through my Bvlgari Rose Essentielle
bottle, but the other four are empty so I’m not too down about the whole
situation.

I often
ponder the idea of beauty bloggers and their obsession with empties (an
obsession I share!) and think about the reasoning behind it all. The feeling of
adding new products to my collection is often wonderful, but other days I feel
weighed down by the amount of my stash that isn’t getting very much love at
all. Ultimately I don’t really crave a pared down collection, I definitely
don’t fit into the minimalist outlook of life, but a more manageable collection
full of great products is definitely something I am aiming for overall.
What are your
thoughts on project pans, perfume purges and paring down your collection?
Do you enjoy
your collection, or stress a little about how big (or small!) it is?
