• Aspiring Minimalist: Great post, Hasina. After reading a few posts on extreme minimalism, and questioning whether I was really on the path to minimalism since I did not (nor do I plan to, at the moment) to live with 100 things.

I mainly only wear mascara and lip balm yet do love blush and khol eyeliner on occasion. I enjoy making most of my beauty products which saves me tons of money. Beau...
