I know I don't do this much on my blog but every month I keep a track of what I'm spending and the amount of products I have in my collection (an inventory basically). Last month at the end of 2015 I did an inventory with my mother (to keep myself accountable) and it shocked me silly. I decided then to try and finish a few more products and then re-do an invent for 2016. So here we are and the numbers are not as bad but as you will see I will be putting myself on a no-buy for a while unless I run out of a certain catagory.
Total count = 17
Ideal number = 7
Total count = 12
Ideal number = 5
Total count= 20!!
Ideal Number= haven't decided but less than 10. Serious project work and decluttering needs to happen here.
Total count= 9
Ideal number = 3
Total count= 8
Ideal number= 4
Total count= 6
Ideal count= 3
Total count= 5
Ideal count= 2
Total count= 17 (one in another palette)
Ideal numbers= 8, honestly I have no idea how it got to this many (bar Christmas) but I do have some work to do here.
Total count=25, including one in another palette
Ideal number= I don't have an ideal here, but I do want to reduce this number.
Total count= 25!
Ideal Number= 5, I actually don't like gloss that much, so this number needs to be used and abused!
Total count= 12
Ideal number= 4
Total count= 24
Ideal number= I again don't have an ideal number here but I would like to reduce this number above.
Total count= 4 (one in a palette)
Ideal number= 1, as you can only use one at a time!
Total count= 11
Ideal number= 0. I really don't use pigments and like eyeshadow more.
Total count= 7
Ideal number= 2 of my favourites
Total count= 5
Ideal number= 3 of my favourite colours.
Total count: 5 (one in palette)
Ideal number: 1 of my favourite
Total count= 1
Ideal number= 1!
Total count= 4
Ideal numbers= 2 of my favourite
As you can see from these numbers, I really do have a lot of work to do and better stick to my no buy. I recently have been watching more project pan videos and use it up videos to keep me on the straight and narrow. My next tactic is to revisit my 2015 beginning post and see how much my collection has grown. Hopefully that will shock me enough! Good luck with 2016 panning everyone!

Fantastic you have a lot to work through, I'm going to do this but I have nearly nowhere the amount you have but will still be fun :) I'll do it next week x
ReplyDeleteIt was great to see your inventory numbers & pictures! I think you'll be able to get your numbers down this year
