Lipstick & Lip Gloss. I haven't counted but I bet I have more than 50 tubes. In fact, sometimes I buy a color I already have without realizing it. Most only get used a handful of times....except a few which are my favorites.

I have a ton of lip balms (mostly because I keep trying new ones in the hopes of finding "The One"); mascaras (ditto as above); body lotions (they're either gifts or something I couldn't resist for the scent or reputed exfoliating properties--I have a touch of KP); lipglosses and nail polishes (the two cosmetic items I almost always wear); face masks (I just love doing masks). I also have a small drawerful of eye makeup that I accumulated when I was in my "dramatic eye" phase and that I hardly touch anymore *sigh*  |

I just discovered I also have a huge stash (I'd say stash, because I certainly didn't 'collect' them!) of brow pencils! I've been very happy with using BB Espreso eyeshadow to fill in my brows, and have forgotten all the Shiseido, Revlon, Maybelline, Lancome, and Christian Dior eyebrow pencils I've thrown into my drawer!  |

Moisturisers/hand creams - I'm on the eternal search for The One that moisturises and doesn't make my hand eczema flare up. Generally the rash shows up about 2 weeks into use, by which time I've thrown out the reciept. I think I've got about 15+ almost-full tubes, jars, bottles that have been designated for body use.  |

| I'm very stocked up on lip balms. I had a terrible experience back in High School. I forgot my lip balm and I had the worst chap lips imaginable. Ever since that day, I've been soooh stocked up. At least two lip balms in every bag (one with SPF and one without). |

Another * spam alert * I have is MASQUES. I have 18 full-size masques in my linen closest right now. I always tell myself I "can not buy another masque until I use one up". But obvisouly that doesn't happen or I wouldn't have 18 of them.

| Oh, eyeshadows - I think I mentally blocked out how many I have. Probably because I reach for the same 2-3 everyday. Ditto for nailpolishes. |

Lipgloss - Mostly Mac Lipglass and Laquers (and all are pretty close in color)
Lotion - Any time I smell a really yummy one I end up getting it, even though I have enough stock to last me 4 years!
Hand cream - Always on the hunt for one to fix my dry, dry hands |

Lip glosses - a range of lipglosses from Dior to Urban Decay (all pink!)
Cleanser - I have about 5 different cleansers opened right now. I hope I finish them before they expire...
Hand Cream - One in every pocket! |

Hmmmm, body lotions and lip balms.
I am so ADD with my body moisturizing routine that I will use something for a bit (not finish the container) and move onto something else. New scent and or new type of moisturizer and I'm hooked. 
I have chronic dry lips, so I have to have at least 1 lip balm with me or within reach at all times. I mean like I have one on my nightstand, bathroom, another in my gym bag, all my purses each have one, coat pockets, desk at work  ....um....I should have just said that I have them everywhere... |

Foundation for me.... I have dozens!! If any new ones come out I always get sucked into trying them. Silly really... ooh and nail polishes and lipsticks/glosses more than I would care to count! OPI ( and now Zoya) are my weaknesses...
I also have lots of backup Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish pumps. They are only 100ml and tend to run out all of a sudden and I wouldnt want to not have any on hand!
Oh. Shampoo and Conditioners too.... I have stacks of those.. I get bored very easily! |

| Eye products are my failing. I have a drawer full of them, none of which I use except ...you guessed it... Juvedical. Al the left over products which I don't like get used on my neck and if my neck doesn't like them then they go onto my arms and legs as moisturisers. |

Wow after reading this thread, I think I'm not the worst one after all.
For makeup.. it's the Lipglosses & lipsticks, and e/s. I got a bunch of them .. but not as much as some of us  maybe i'm still a beginner hope i can stop this habit of buying before it gets worst
For skincare, it's the masks!! I am crazy about masks .. mask mask mask mask ! |

Sorry Christine... it only gets worse hehe... mind you I have been collecting mass makeup and skincare since about 1973 when I was 13... I used to use all my pocket money ( allowance) on little things from Max Factor ...or Rimmel.. as we didnt have much to choose from in my town at the time and when we finally moved to a city I went crazy in the stores.
Now when spoiled for choice all over the world because of the internet... it is an out and out obsession. I have gone beyond the bathroom cabinet .... and have a nearly full linen closet of things ranging from shampoos.. body products... skincare ....makeup..nail things.. the works! It's my lifelong hobby now! I dont feel "too" bad....I don't do anything else "vice" wise really. |

| obession with lip Gloss ! it's just so easily to get addicted in buying different shades and forget the old ones that I was using |

| My obsessions are anything that I read about or see advertised that is a cleanser or otc cream for "clear" skin. From potions, to creams to zappers to brushes and all over again. I am a sucker for anything that "sounds" different. Never ends up being, but I am always hopeful I will find the magic solution. I just went out and bought the Pimple Eraser the other day after reading the posts here. So far, NODDA! No improvements, nothing different than the 28 other items I have in my cabinet. Back to the drawing board |

I just got my Cellcosmet Purifying Gel in the mail today and when I was putting it away I couldn't believe what I saw. I have 3 unopened cleansers plus the Cellscomet plus the 3 that I am currently using. If you add in my cleansing oil and Kanebo Silk Peeling powder that makes for a total of 9 cleansers!! And to make matters worse I have one more on the way with my next EDS order.
Edit: I just remembered I don't have just one more cleanser on the way, I have two!! |
