Downsizing My Collection: I Gave It Away (Or at least I tried to)

If you haven't noticed, I'm really trying to downsize my collection to include only items that I really love and want to use.  So when I knew that I was going to be getting together with my best friend last weekend, I went through my collection and pulled out some items that I was willing to giveaway.  Let me also clarify that she was thrilled to get to select some free makeup.  Of course, my pal didn't take everything, but I thought I would share with you what I selected to give away and what she actually ended up taking.  Above you can see just how much I pulled out for her to choose from.
