See, that what happens when I have stuff stored away someplace. I forget that I have it or I'm to lazy to break it out. I guess I do have to make an inventory list so that I have an overview and everything gets used.
That's the benefit of a well-edited collection.. you get to use your loves - and only your loves - all the time!
I think that's a big part of what we're all working towards.

I feel like I failed so hard today ladies. I went up to the mall with my niece and we stopped by the MAC counter so I could look at the new Viva Glam, I liked it so I figured I would get it. Hayli tried the gloss on after we left and she looked so great in it that we went back to get her one too, which is where I failed. I also got Burgundy liner and Adored MSF. I don't feel bad about the initial purchase or the gloss for her and her friend since those were gifts technically, but I feel like I failed since I just HAD to get that damn liner and MSF too. I know it could of been a lot worse, but I still feel kinda mad at myself for splurging even more and getting things that were not on the list. :/

I think i should stop kicking myself over it, I mean it has to say something that I waited this long to get Adored right?If you feel bad about getting it, just return it

So all of you organized gals have inspired me to put my lipsticks in groupings and I am so freaking bad at it that I am combing temptalia's swatch pages since she lists red warm berry cool fuchsia neutral etc on those pages. I have some she doesn't list which is major bummer but I am kinda getting to see where she would put stuff. AND I just pulled out an older color Wild Bout You which was from '09 and put it on. Gah I love this one so much. She put it up on the scarlet season feature instead of swatches but I think it is more berry-ish than red. I really do prefer pinkish reds or berry reds because I find them easier to wear. Anyway as soon as I put it on I was transported back to early MAC days { I have been wearing MAC since before it was in US }because the scent is vanilla-ish but different than it is now. I am not making this up. My lipstick isn't off but it smells different than my newer lipsticks. I think the vanilla was more foody or richer smelling~ certainly stronger. I cannot be the first person to notice this.... but it did make me a bit sad. I think part of the reason I keep chasing colors in MAC is because I don't get that extra sensory oomph that I used to get now that the smell is .... flatter.
Or am I just justifying

[@]elkaknits[/@] "Or am I just justifying" Maybe a little bit... But I think everyone likes products better when they smell fresh & new... Instead of new car smell, it's new lippie smell! Heehee I have a Brave that needs to be purged because it doesn't have the smell anymore & actually smells like clay. I use the smell to decide if it's probably time to let a MAC lippie go. On another more, I wore Love Goddess today instead of using Pleasurebomb. I love LG and PB I have never even worn. Rather than use another fuchsia/red I'm highly considering letting PB go... Lips untried. I'm trying to decide now... It was a gift. So I wasn't going to get it anyways.... Hmmmm? Anyone want to push me to let it go?

Put your ovaries on the outside woman!! Have you lined it up with other ones you have and compared just the color? Do you often wear that shade and does it look amazing on you? Are there swatches that you can check to see if it's similar to something you have?

LOL! I'm actually wearing her now even though I'm barefaced just to make myself feel better. It sure is pretty and I'm glad that now that I'm home and near my stash I see that I at least didn't have another peachy MSF laying around.*whew* On another note,I totally unloaded like 30 pigments off on a friend last night! Woot!

OVARIES! For whatever reason, that word makes me laugh my urine out! Heehee I absolutely LOVE the type of shade PB is... But forced myself to skip it due to the many like it I already felt I had. None of my dupes are matte though, which is my fav formula. My sister heard me mention it, and knows I rarely skip anything I like.. So she snagged it for me for Christmas. Complete surprise! I hate to try it & it just seem like all the others... Cause I know there's tons of ladies that missed it & are going crazy. I tell myself I already skipped it so I had decided to live without it. But then I think... It was a gift so maybe it was meant to be! Heehee But I've avoided wearing it because I'm still thinking it over! So far... My lips haven't fallen off wo it! But it is MY shade! Ahhhh the agony!
It is fuchsia. But Love Goddess pulls very pink on me... And I grabbed that today to wear instead of PB because I'm still resisting wearing it. Don't lust for it. They do this color a lot actually & I think it will be a color shade that's done again this summer. They know this shade sells like hot cakes! Don't even think about paying inflated prices for it!
Well then, it's justified! And that must've been hard to let those piggies go! I'm proud of you girlie! No more scolding you for that MSF now!! Heehee

Gifts are usually keepers lol What if your sis comes visit and wants to borrow or something and then you wont have it, she would be sad >.< And since you love the color and you don't have anything matte. You could purge some of the non-mattes in that color instead?
