April 2012 empties! (includes Scentsy bars that i finished)

my first empties video! woohoo! it may look like i had a lot of empties, but i've been collecting in this box since February. most likely i won't have nearly as much for my June empties video.

i LOVE LOVE LOVE watching empties videos! if you're a makeup collector like me, it's very hard to finish anything... but when you do, it's so satisfying! it makes you feel like your makeup was worth it. i don't know... but i think that when i'm able to get through at least 1/2 my foundation and concealer collection, i won't feel so guilty for having hoarded these products for so long.

i just hate throwing away makeup that i spent money on! i mean, i've done it in the past (before YouTube) like when my nail polishes got all goopy and separated (and shaking them doesn't do anything) and lipsticks got rancid or melty... i've only throw away a couple of foundations that didn't match my skin (but i still have a shoebox full of face products that i haven't even given away or thrown away).

anyway, i am excited to start collecting my empties again for June. i'm trying to just use up items that are at least 1/2 to 1/3 almost done. it's just the best way to whittle down your collection. also, these videos act as a way to remember what you used up and thrown away in case you want to repurchase them in the future. xoxo Kathleen
