The joy that comes with losing yourself in a hobby may be alluring, but the hoarder's guilt can be overwhelming. In an effort to curb my spending, arrest the growth of my beauty stash and hold myself accountable, I've opted to 'window shop' my wishlist instead. Getting to know the products I'm eyeing on a less superficial level encourages me to be mindful about my purchases, understand if I really need a new product, and remember that I probably already have a dupe in my stash.

@Skinsitivity  does makeup capsule collections and as soon as the IG algorithm decided to let me know about this awesome idea I jumped on board. Her idea was to restrict herself to select products each fortnight which has a lot of benefits that I'm digging.
