I'm getting ready to participate in a self-inflicted 30-day challenge. I'm calling it "Use It or Lose It!" I'll begin October 1 and keep track of what I do and do not use from my makeup collection for 30 days. At the end of 30 days, I am committed to getting rid of things that I either did not use or used and did not like enough to use again.
In preparation, I present to you:
My Current Makeup Collection:
Foundations:
Elf Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 in Porcelain
Everyday Minerals Base in Ivory
Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Illuminating Serum

Special Note #1: I’m on a no-buy for lip balms and mascaras. I try to use one at a time, and I have a couple of backups. I don't see a point in including them in the "Use It or Lose It!" Challenge.
Special Note #2: Also, I'm not on a no-buy in general, so I'm expecting a couple things to show up in the mail over the next 30 days. They'll be added to the list, and I'll give myself 30 days from their arrival to use 'em or lose 'em!
So, to track my experience, I thought I'd start a new blog and call it Ruby's Rigmarole. ("Rigmarole" means confused or meaningless talk.) I figure this gives me freedom to talk about pretty much whatever I feel like. So, set your expectations low, and get ready! "Use It or Lose It" begins October 1!
