Makeup Obsession? You be the judge!

Janet Camilleri · 16/07/2014 ·

I’m beginning to think that Miss 17 has a bit of a makeup obsession.

She has trouble walking into a chemist or department store without buying new makeup; not to mention the steady stream of parcels arriving thanks to her forays on Ebay.

This is what arrived just last week:

Makeup Obsession: the evidence is clear!

So I thought I’d give you a glimpse of her dressing table and extensive makeup collection, and let you be the judge:

It seems like rather a lot (and this is just SOME of it) – especially when you compare it to my minimalist makeup kit …

Does Miss 17 have a makeup obsession? You be the judge!

    My teenager was male – but my nieces’ bathroom looks this.

    Oh boy that is something I guess house will experience when my daughter is just a little older.

      I don’t know if all teenage girls are quite this obsessed …

    The real question is: if you ‘borrowed’ something would she notice? If so, then yes, definitely an obsession!

      You know – I think she would!!!!! So there you have it – definite obsession!

    She might have found her new career?!

      That’s what I reckon too. But for the moment she insists she is happy as a barista, doesn’t want to do any more study …

    I think most of us were probably guilty of this when we were younger … I know I was! Wisdom will come with age!

      And bills to eat into that disposable income, LOL!

    That is a truck load of make up! I was the same at her age, money to burn and lots of pretty things! I don’t think I had quite that much though 🙂

      I always used to burn my money on clothes rather than makeup

    My gosh she will be able to start her own beautician business.

    Oh wow!!! That’s an impressive collection! I’ll know where to head when I next run out of mascara then 🙂

      She actually lent me a new blush brush the other day – and said I could keep it – yay!

    Eish, that is a LOT of make-up and accessories! 🙂

    At least it is neat and tidy and not like my daughter’s vanity cupboard used to look like. She has bottles and jars galore almost empty and things spilled over the vanity shelves everywhere, even nail polish! Her favourite shop is Priceline which explains it all.

    So weird looking at these photos a few years later. I actually can’t believe how much my collection has grown. The makeup shown in these pictures would fill just one of my 18 drawers now. How scary! Will have to send you more recent photos lol 😉

      And I thought you had an obsession THEN!!!
