In 2014 I went on a bit of a makeup buying binge especially toward the end of the year. I keep a detailed multi-tabbed Excel spreadsheet that tracks my beauty stash, including date of acquisition (I’ll devote a blog post explaining my spreadsheet in the future, I promise). From the spreadsheet, I was able to determine that in 2014, I acquired:
- 22 blushes
- 56 eye shadows (I count individual shades in palettes, so a quad = 4 eye shadows)
- 112 nail polishes – I blame Illamasqua for this. The counter inside The Bay was closing shop and the brand was leaving North America so I had to not only stock up on my favourites, but also take advantage of the 25-50% clearance sale! I own a total of 46 Illamasqua nail polishes, and 39 of them were acquired in 2014…
