I agree! Nobody should be ashamed of what they have, I think this thread is more about not getting caught up in the hype about products and spending money we don't have on makeup.Oh, & I realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly really LOVE LOVE LOVE ALL of my makeup.

That's why I'm here! I really like the majority of the items I have purchased, but I will admit that I have gotten sucked into major hype from time to time and bought some items that I probably shouldn't of (my "duds") I want to learn to shop smarter and hopefully work on getting better at not making so many impulse buys.I agree!

Just sold some Sleek pigments I had no business buying in the first place cause I don't really DO pigments like that. Also sold some Sleek palettes I've had for months and have never even used. I figured I needed to do something to make up for my VG Rihanna purchase.

well, that's exactly what has made us all join this thread -- not getting caught up in hype and using what we have in our stashes.
every woman is impulsive and the industry knows it -- one of the reasons I have come to many decisions with my inner self. It can become addictive.
I will never be ashamed -- I love what I do and will keep loving it till I get old and wizzened.. (lol, don't know if I spelled that right either)
:cheer: Yay you!
As you should! As all of us should! :nods: In my case, it's more a matter of using what I have and being more selective about what I buy, along with recognizing what my makeup vices are (my biggest ones are eyeshadows, lipsticks, and lipglosses, with brushes not too far behind, which is why I set my limits the way I did). * * * Currently I have a shoebox going with stuff I either don't use anymore, have used but didn't like, or stuff that (IMO) doesn't really suit me. Every so often I'll be going through my stash and adding things to it. Question, though: I don't have any of my eyeshadow pot sleeves, and I've depotted some things in the past so don't have compacts, either. What's a good way to keep them safe, should I end up wanting to get rid of some of them? So far, no new makeup purchased. Though I am eyeing NARS Sex Fantasy, as I don't have anything like that in my blush collection.Oh, & I realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly really LOVE LOVE LOVE ALL of my makeup.

I have to say I'm very relieved at all of the color stories popping up. The only thing I'm interested in from Jan-April is the FoF collection (and I'm only planning on a few items) and if there's a random blast from the past like casual colors or tendertones or something I might try one or two. Not into the brights. Then blush duos in Pedro Lourenco maybe but that's not till May. Not into the Disney hype either. If there's a beauty or pearlmatte powder this year I could be into that too. I will also limit myself to one Hourglass blush and one ambient powder, since they're perm I can always try more later! #teamlowbuy

It's okay! A week prior to me starting the "low buy/no buy goal; I bought four foundations (covergirl & bh cosmetics), 2 bottles of skindinavia, MAC Steel Kiss, a Smashbox cream blush, and Too faced shadow insurance. Then last week I ordered The Too Faced Chocolate palette! It happens! Enjoy your new goodies!

I am doing great. I haven't purchased any makeup in three weeks - and it feels like FOREVER! I feel like I am in rehab. After looking at all of the upcoming collections, I am pretty safe until April and May. Then I will really need to have some self-control.

I know this isn't helpful - but that drawer is some serious makeup porn. It is really pretty! Let us know how the inventory goes!
So... here is some of my hoard. I snapped this pic quickly while I was getting ready this morning. What you are seeing here ladies is MSF's, bronzers, large blushes, various highlighters from other brands, who knows what else lol. WHYYYYYYYYYY SO MUCH????? I don't know if I will get to it, but I'll try to dump this out tonight and count what is in there. I'm scared. Hold me #teamlowbuy.

Yes - I have thought about this too. I was thinking of taking a sheet of magnet and placing the depotted shadows on the sheet of magnet and then put it in a plastic bag for safe keeping (until you sell/swap them). I guess that depends on if you have put magnets on the depotted shadows (if you use a Z palette or not?)?

I don't post too often here, but I read a lot, and I love this thread! I'm really cutting back on makeup purchases, but I'm now hoarding skincare. Much easier for me to justify, since it gets used to quickly. I'm doing fairly well buying less, and have only bought the new Too Faced palette at a major discount, two lipsticks that I'd been wanting for months, and a Nars blush from the new collection. It was my birthday month though, and I had been planning most of those purchases for some time. I'm not tempted by all of the new collections or the new Nars palette, which were the things I was most worried about.
