Gosh you ladies can talk! You are all doing so well. (And isn't it great that this thread is so active?) I sorta bought nothing in Jan - nothing since MN/ Huggables, and I only officially started my low-buy after those, so I think it counts! Then again with no mac releases here since then, how hard can it be? I did have to rein myself in last week, I found a LE Sleek palette from last year online at retail, I'd been lemming it since I first saw it but I haven't even used the one I do have so held myself back for now. Also the Revlon balm pencils (shameless etc) have finally launched over here, and they were on offer 3for 2 to start. Almost caved, just so I could try one of each type, but I figured the only one I really want is shameless and I'd rather wait for heroine. Trying not to let the swap thread suck me in either, as awesome as it is. There are. Couple of items lingering in there I wanted and missed out on remorse, but I had already resolved that if I don't get my hands on it in store it's not meant to be, so this could be dangerous for me if I'm not careful. I haven't been keeping up with the FOF thread. I'll catch up at some point before the collection comes out here, seeing all the swatches really helps me pin down what I want (and I'll probably read every post - I have completeness issues!!). Currently thinking I'll have no problem sticking to 3 items. I need to see if I have anything like Dreaming Dahlia in my stash to play with - I'm so drawn to colours like that, but I'm not sure if they actually look good on me! On the less positive side, I haven't been using much either. Been struggling with sleep / getting up in the mornings so I've not worn much makeup at all this year. If I remember I'll post my next batch of stash photos tomorrow - maybe the lippies which are the really scary ones...

I've been out of the loop for a few days. Damn this thread is hard to keep up with!! I just skimmed over about 250 posts. WHEW!!
So from what I gather Perfect Topping has changed? I'm sad to hear that because I only purchased it to replace my broken one. If it's that drastically different I may have to keep using the smashed one if the new one isn't what I wanted.
My MAC order arrived today and I just took PT out of the box. At first swipe it is reminding me of Refined MSF that came out with Perfect Topping the first time in the Sugar Sweet collection. Refined is a really pretty peach and is one of my favorites. I will need to check when I get home to see if my mind is playing tricks on me. If it looks like Refined why didn't they just repromote Refined!!!??

So funny that you should mention this, because I was thinking the same thing! I recently managed to get my hands on Refined, and it came in the mail today! I already swatched it, and am thinking that it is A LOT like the new PT. That isn't a bad thing mind you, since it is a beautiful champagne peachy color, but I understand why people are dissapointed.

Did you get the new PT too? I'm not sure what I will do if it's really similar to Refined. I might actually return it, gasp!! I don't return much but I need to stop keeping things that don't work for me. I also got Sassy Green and noticed that it looks very similar to the green chromaline (I think I saw someone mention that about 7 pages back lol). I will swatch those together later tonight too. I may have two things to send back!

I purchased the 9 drawer Alex from IKEA and love it. I need more though. Great makeup storage!

No, I didn't get the new PT. I was just going off of swatches and descriptions. But if you do find that they are similar, don't feel bad at all about returning it! You shouldn't keep it if you don't think that it will get used. It looks so beautiful in the pictures I am seeing, but just sitting there looking pretty isn't worth the 30$ you payed for it!
:nods: Stereo Rose as well.

I just looked for swatches. The new SR looks better to me than the one I have. I have to stay strong??

Haha! We are definitely on the same wave length today! I thought the very same thing when I started looking at swatches. I posted the question to Liba (regarding whether they really are very different products) and apparently they are. You can read all of her comment towards the end of the FOF thread if you are interested. I don't know how your low buy is going, or what your goals are, but I am trying to stay strong and skip! I mean, do we really need another one? Mind you, if it's softer and more finely milled, and it's totally a different product....ahhhhh!!!!!! LOL. Stay strong!!!!!

I personally cannot stand waterproof mascara! Would rather go with no mascara than wear it....haha!
Reminds me that I still need to get a new one, I still haven't found a replacement for Splashproof Lash.

Staying away from the Melt Cosmetics restock. That green lippie looks so bad ass, but 1. How often would I actually wear it and 2. The lipsticks are 19 plus shipping which brings the total to 26. Which for me and my budget is a bit much. So I'm gonna step AWAY from the website. Close tab.
