Ok... I realized I lied! I have Moxie!! Plus a backup! SO... Since you're right about it being a gift... I think I'll get rid of my moxie backup & keep PB! Seems like a good solution to me! Parting w that Moxie will be hard. But I think this solution makes the most sense! Thanks for the help thinking that through out loud!!
I think it's a conspiracy because I sent Sephora & Ulta messages letting them know you were in this low-buy!! Heehee
Nice!
and lol, for sure!I agree. Since your sister was trying to do something special for you and you do like the colour, I would keep it and get rid of an older one in a similar shade instead.
I wouldn't toss it out yet. Give it a good shake and try to swatch it. How does it perform? Is it possible to use it? If so, it just has to be shaken before you use it. A lot of my older drugstore polishes have seperated but I just shake them up before application. They're fine. Nps have never gone 'bad' for me - they might look not as pretty as before, but I can use them without any problems.Oh no. :crybaby:Haven't worn it in a long time, so I don't feel like I'm allowed a replacement right now. 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.
You're right! Thanks for confirming my thoughts!! You guys are so great!!
Sisters are soo awesome!
Welcome!! That's very generous of you and I'm sure she'll love it! I wish I had a sister after seeing all of these donation posts.. haha.
My suggestion would be to try before you buy - most of the items you're getting are perm (or at least won't sell out in a nanosecond). If you're purging a lot that doesn't work for you, just make sure you're replacing them with things that do.
That's a good point. I've definitely been guilty of that myself. Although I find when I get in the store the lighting is so bad that things don't look true to color anyway.. You have to try something on, run outside to look at it, run back in to try on something else.. And it's more of a hassle for me to take the bus to the mall and back than get packages delivered lol. Last time I went to Sephora they charged me for a product twice and now I have to go back in person to get it taken off my card.. Not to mention sales associates trying to coax you into buying more. I love online shopping from the comfort of my apartment.. maybe a bit too much..haha.I probably won't save as much as buying online (I often buy cosmetics when there is a 10% off and bonus points promotion on at debenhams) but I'll save in a different way by only taking home products im super excited about
Temptalia has reviews up for a couple of the Hourglass blushes. They look amazing! She didn't do any of the 3 I was interested in yet, but the formula looks great and they received a high rating. I'm so ready to fall in love with mine when it gets here.. if I want more I'll wait until a 20% off sale. I really hope they do a blush palette this year!! I would just die.
I'm at the same point with some of my darker lipsticks like Capricious. I put 4 of them in a bowl by the door and I try to wear them as much as possible. I might just end up B2M a couple of them at the end of the season. If I don't, I won't be wearing them again until Fall anyway..
I plan to try... Although it might be easier for me to let go from another color family! Heehee I adore that Fuchsia/pink shade so much! Probably my most used color when I want a standout lippie and not just an everyday color.
Purge away!!! We are glad you're here to play!
You're absolutely right that actually seeing the money you spend at the register is much more "real" and personal. I always buy less when I go in the store. Blindly charging online sometimes seems like it isn't as accountable. But sadly MAC seems to be my weakness, and there are no PRO stores near me to use my discount. So I have to buy online! Which has probably multiplied my problem immensely. That's why I need to buckle down and get more disciplined!One of my goals this year is to try as much as possible to check items in person before I buy The majority of makeup I buy is online, and I know for a fact I would have been able to skip most of the items ive bought in the past couple of years had I been at a counter. It's too easy for me to tap away on ny fone and buy something based off swatches, I always buy less in person, as that moment of picking what you want and then physically paying at the counter makes me think a lot harder about the money im about to spend! I probably won't save as much as buying online (I often buy cosmetics when there is a 10% off and bonus points promotion on at debenhams) but I'll save in a different way by only taking home products im super excited about
I can't always buy in store either!!! With my pro discounts and all the traveling I do it's really hard! And I absolutely hate when a sales person gets pushy. I don't mind being helped but don't just try to sell me things just to boost sales... That's annoying!
This is the place to be for some realistic advice and the often needed tough love! Set your goal and jump on board!
