This week I got the famed Urban Decay Naked Palette, I had been waiting to find one for a while and while I was happy to get it, I felt no joy in the event at all.

This being the one item I had been patiently waiting for, not hunting for or stalking, but just if I found one I found one...no big deal. I realized now that I had it and since I felt zero joy in the event it was time to stop buying makeup, at least for a while.

Another reason I've chosen to do this that I have way too much makeup...I mean look at my lip drawer...

• I must finish 5 products before buying anything new
• Hair products for hair products - I must use up 5 hair products before buying a new one
• makeup for makeup - I must use up 5 cosmetic products before buying a new makeup item
• skin care for skincare - I must use up my skincare before opening a new one from my new years resolution, but I must use up 5 products before buying a new one.
• These above rules mean I can't use up 5 hair products and say woo a new lip gloss...no I can't do that.
• Used up empties are best
• Giving away products count
• Tossing products count
• If I need something (ex. I use up all my conditioner and my reserves then I get one new conditioner).
