Sounds good Sage!! I LOVE Hot Chocolate lipstick. I rarely, if ever back up products but I did get a backup for Hot Chocolate.
Funny enough, the SA at Macy's forced me to buy a backup. I only even LOOKED at Hot Chocolate on a whim because my friends were raving about it. I am glad I bent to the pressure - it's such a nice MLBB shade for me. Can't figure out what to wear on the lips? Hot Chocolate. I haven't worn it in awhile, so I was ready to revisit it today. OAN: anyone in here have suggsetions for wearing MAC Deep Cravings e/s? I am ready to break it out but I have no inspiration.

I can't vouch for that...J/k. I just admit that I'm weird and keep it moving.

i may have worn it in the outer v with divine decadence all over the lid....
also some type of thing with sex and the oyster. pretty tame eye combos i guess. but sultry at the same time!
I am keeping this in mind along with Medgal's suggestions. You made me raise an eyebrow with the S&TO suggestion. I am intrigued.

when i said 'some type of thing' i really meant 'SAME type of thing'. slightly more specific.
i think i also wore divine decadence + blacktrack with the shadows. hope that helps!

Ladies, I need an intervention.
I am obsessed with all things burgundy and I keep adding to my stash when I should be shopping my stash and using what I have!
For example, I should be in bed this very moment but I've been trolling for Burgundy ANYTHING! Well, I found and just ordered
YSL Rouge Pur Couture Grenat Satisfaction and Tom Ford Bruised Plum. This obsession started when I missed out on
MAC Fixed On Drama but I managed to get one last week, so this longing should be over right???...haven't even yet worn FOD.

I would recommend a one month ban, but when I used to do that with jeans I would just go hogwild the following month. I have no good advice on how to stop. We're all addicts here. Perhaps force yourself to organize/reorganize your makeup which will also help you truly evaluate your stash. Or try a ban where for each item that comes in something (or two) must go out for one month. That will really give you pause when you consider parting with your loves.

I agree with what MissTT suggested about reorganizing your makeup ..... That's what I do at times and it helps me . Plus if I haven't used something in a while I get rid of it ( b2m, give to someone or throw it away).

Thank you MissTT & Lele!!! I like the idea of a no buy, but how narrow or broad would you suggest? Should I ban all things burgundy? Should I ban all lipsticks,I would recommend a one month ban, but when I used to do that with jeans I would just go hogwild the following month. I have no good advice on how to stop.

because I've purchased over 20 lipsticks this month alone!! My makeup is super organized. I'm by and large a very organized person. Because my cosmetics are so
organized I can see the magnitude of what the new purchases is doing to my organization. I now have overflow, but I've organized it quite nicely. That said, enough is
enough right? I LOVE the idea that if something new comes in, something old must go out, but that presents an interesting conundrum....Nothing is old enough or
used enough to toss. I'd feel like I'm throwing money away. Maybe I could work at using up certain products---like what this thread is intended to do. That means I'd
have to ignore you enablers **side eye at Honybr and you MissTT. I've made several purchases recommended right here! Do I have regrets? Heck no! Conversely, I
have been reminded by folks here of products that I have but have not given the love they deserve and I start to use them again.
I should never buy another blush because I have every color under the rainbow and then some. The same thing goes for lipstick! But when I see the pretty colors and
swatches and photos of people rocking the products, I buy into the hype. I was off the threads for several weeks and you would think my hauling would have stopped
but it didn't. I was away when RiRi Fall launched but I managed to stalk the web sites and call the stores to get everything that I wanted. So, to say the threads are
bad for me is false. Right?
My daughter rarely wear makeup but I've noticed an increased interest on her part. I gave her RiRi Woo and she loved it! I can start to give her stuff from my stash as
you suggest Lele. That's more appealing to me than throwing something away.
DO I start all of this now? Asked like a true MUA---makeup addict!!!!
I agree, but I don't just toss. I wind up giving it to someone who is going through a hard time or a younger person I know who would love to have something "nice" to use. Next week I beging spending time in the gym instead of at cosmetics counters - let's see how that goes. I need to step away beceuse Sephora's sales, lots of collections coming out at the same time, etc have made a significant stash increase. I am not buying anything else until Riri Holiday and Punk Couture and I go back on a low-buy. It's been a very good makeup year lol.
