Mauve paint on a bathroom wall with art and a round metal mirror, white freestanding tub and marble wall vanity sink unit with floating shelf. Wooden floors and neutral rug for warmth.

If there's one thing I love collecting, it's makeup. But, beyond my signature dark winged eyeliner, my many full drawers of eye shadows, blushes and lipsticks sit unused the majority of the time.

This year, however, I decided that enough was enough. Not only is using old makeup unsanitary, I don't want to risk putting expired products anywhere near my face.
