Lately I've been struggling with using up my current make up in my panning goals. I've been doing great with my panning goals and moving down the line as it were with my products that are sooner to expire.

I'm starting to resent using certain lip/mascara products - I'm almost constantly thinking of the new ones I want to open for one reason or another. (Different shade range, better formula, mascara is getting a bit goopy, etc) I'm determined to finish these up but I'm also really wanting to try my newer products waiting impatiently in the wings.

I have a hard time admitting defeat and letting things go even when they aren't working for me. I still get stuck in that sunk cost fallacy even though I should be aware of that by now. I always think, "Just push a bit harder, repurpose it" and whatnot. One of the things I've really been wanting to use is this teeny berry red lipstick - I don't have any color similar to it in my collection. But I'm afraid that if I use it and don't like it it would be a waste of a potential item I could have exchanged for something different that may have worked better for me.

I know I'm overthinking, it's just a hard frame of mind to get out of. I did a lip declutter not too long ago and have been back and forth between making my mascaras work just a bit longer (They're drying out and becoming more difficult to work with) and acknowledging that yes, a nasty vinegar smell isn't normal in a brow product and I should probably toss it.
