Confessions Of A Beauty Hoarder

No better time than the end of the year for brutally honest reflection — this beauty writer is guilty as charged

Confessions Of A Beauty Hoarder
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a beauty lover, in possession of a career in beauty (and decent credit line), must be in want of… even more beauty products. Yikes.

Take a shot every time the word “beauty” was used. I reckon you’d need that should the phrase “Confessions Of A Beauty Hoarder” resonate with something in you (perhaps a see-no-evil memory of an overflowing pile of lipsticks?), because trust me, I’ll gladly take those shots.

Truth be told, I’ve never quite seen myself as a hoarder. I always justified the bringing home of jumbo tote bags filled to the brim with beauty products — from vitamin C serums to contour powders — by saying it was all because of The Job. It was all so that I could write useful stories! And give sound beauty reviews! It was all so that I could earn that paycheque!

Well, yes. And I guess it all sounded quite logical until I started spending my own money on items that I already have, items that I definitely do not need.
