Welcome to Beauty Hoard!

/

My name is Lara and I’m a hoarder.

My obsession isn’t dead cats or bottles of piss or used diapers…nothing good enough to get me on TV. I hoard beauty products. Nail polish, body products, antibacterial handsoap, eye shadow and more. (I also have a problem with buddhas, garden gnomes, Barbies and flamingos, but we’ll get to that later.)

Instead of hiding my shame, I decided to share it with the world. Okay, that’s a lie…I am not the least bit ashamed of my “habit.” I just want to legitimize the amount of money I spend on all this junk by plastering it all over the internet. Also, I’ve been experiencing writing block when it comes to my other website – knobbyverse.com – and I figure the best way to get past it is to make a detour and write about something else for awhile.

I’m not really sure what I am going to end up doing with this site…maybe pictures of my fingernails? Stupid shit I buy on clearance at Target? Or maybe I’ll get bored after a few posts and let it die…unless of course, I figure out a way for this site to make me some money…

    I can relate. My item to hoard is definitely nail polish. I’ve got a lot. A whole lot.

  2. Lara says:

    My recent nail polish obsession is the main driver for the site. I just joined Julep and my collection has grown exponentially…So I guess most of my content will be manicure related…

    I am worried about this site. Does it mean MORE stuff?

  4. Lara says:

    Unfortunately…YES.

    I, too, have enough nail polish to paint the Fred Hartman bridge. Enough different mascara to make Sheila Jackson Lee blush. And enough powder foundation to sand the bridges on a frosty morning. Buy it, like it for 3 days, don’t like it, buy more

    Love the website! My weakness is Bath and Body Works. I got this awesome glitter bomb lotion and it makes me look like a stripper so I can only wear it on Saturdays.

  7. Lara says:

    My B&BW obsession will be covered as well…I haven’t gotten the glitter bomb lotion…better put it on my shopping list!

    My name is Amy.. And I hoard lipsticks. I very rarely wear it. But I have at least 30.

  9. Lara says:

    Welcome Amy…I don’t think I’ve ever seen you wear lipstick. I hoard lipgloss…mostly from Bath & Body Works.

    I use Olay Total Effects moisturizer and Night Firming Cream – love them both. I’ve heard good things about MAC, maybe I’ll try it. I’ve tried several mineral foundations, but I keep going back to CoverGirl powder. I SWEAR by Maybelline Lash Stilletto Mascara. I also won’t use any other shampoo/conditioner but John Frieda Brilliant Brunette…
