so much blushes but still so many things i'm still lustering for... ;)
what about you? do you think one would need more than 3 different blushes? i think with so many different shades the differences in tone and colour are so minimal that only a very watchful eye can notice. i think i could easily get along with 10% or less of this stash and would still have every colour group represented, but it's just so much fun! and in the end, this is the ultimate proof to myself, that i do this for me and not for anyone else ;)
almost all products have been swatched or even reviewed thorougly on here. please use the search engine to your upper right to get to the posts if you are interested as i can't link them all.

EDIT: oh, for everyone who wonders (a copy of my answer in the comments) how one could ever use up so much stuff:

yes, i'm a user-collector. i don't collect to not touch and only look at it. i collect to have a big variety and selection - i love the process of putting on make up and enjoy to look through my stash what to use today.
i don't mind if i can't ever finish the products - i don't pay for the amount i get, to use it up to avoid financial loss. i pay for the pretty look, the beautiful packagings, for my joy and satisfaction looking at it, and ultimately for the feeling wearing and applying it and for its look on me.
i pay the money for the look i can achieve anytime with it, not for 6/7/8/9g of product to use up as fast as possible!

these are luxury items to me, and i treat them as they are.

    Wow, das ist echt der Cheek Product Heaven. Ich hoffe, wenn ich mal sterbe, lande ich dort.

    Ich habe eine geringere Auswahl und mehr kostengünstigere Produkte. Aber sobald ich einen Job habe und Geld verdiene, sind Cargo und Guerlian und so dran. :)

    Ich fühle mich direkt viel besser, ich fühle mich ja nicht als Rouge Mensch, fand meine Sammlung aber langsam doch bedenklich, jetzt geht es mir besser, als Rouge Sammlerin hat man so eine Sammlung, also ist alles bei mir noch okay XD
    Finde die Bilder aber wirklich sehr hübsch <3 Da möchte man doch fast zum Rouge-Mensch mutieren ;)

    Cheek product heaven indeed <3
    Sure we don't neeeed them but it's a hobby, it's fun and for yourself as you said. In case someone feels the wish to diss it, to be blunt I have my opinion about people who hate on every harmless thing others love as well.

    My stash consists of about 40 blushes I think, highlighters excluded.. not sure, it's been a while since I counted, but then my blush craze is not accute anymore. In their storange they are actually on some kind of display in the drawer, I want to see them all, so my 1,20 Malm drawer doesn't offer much space for new lovelies anymore. ^^

    this is so beautiful!
    I really want to go through your make up collection, it is so inviting.
    I just counted my collection and i have about 20 blushes, bronzer and highlighter.

    I didn't find anything about the tinted glow enhancer by the body shop, maybe you could do a short review about it :)

    Wow, das sind mal geschmeidig über 100 Produkte :-) Aber wenn's Spaß macht, jedem sei sein Hobby gegönnt :-) Ich persönlich fühle mich schon manchmal mit einer geringeren Menge überfordert, weil ich denke das nie im Leben aufbrauchen zu können (dabei ist es nicht einmal so). Aber wenn ich dich irgendwann mal richtig verstanden habe, möchtest du ja auch benutzen und auch einfach nur sammeln, ich bin da eher der pragmatische Benutzer und ärgere mich über alles Überflüssige. Aber anschauen tu ich so große Sammlungen auch sehr gern :-)

    Relatable Style

    Wowooo such an amazing collection! I am totally with you that at the end of the day, we makeup collectors are doing this for fun and for ourselves! And, if it is possible, would you name one or two your favorite products from each group?
    Thanks again for sharing the happiness and joy!

    Eye candy!
    You have wonderfull collection and your edit comment is something to totally agree with. I sometimes do feel sad that some things I own will definitely go bad before I manage to use them up, but you expressed it brilliantly: neither my goal is to buy makeup to use it up, but to have it to play with it and enjoy it.

    Hey, awesome post!

    I buy "alot" of makeup too, but I'm scared to have "too much" makeup because I'm afraid they'll go bad. I know I will never use up my current collection anytime soon.

    How long do you think cheek powder products can last before they go bad and are not safe to use?

    That's one of the reasons why I'm limiting my purchases.
