I didn't count gift cards or birthday $ as cheating! It's all up to YOU. Your low-buy, your rules. I consider it a win for you if you waited weeks to get something to make sure that you would actually use and love it. You're definitely exploring your buying habits which is really the point of all this! As for MAC, write down your thoughts on why you don't want to buy them (because you like Chanel, Dior better, MAC just sit there, you'd just be falling for LE hype etc.) and post it somewhere where you'll see it to remind yourself!
During the UD sale this month I picked up a BU of the Naked pressed powder, a 24/7 concealer pencil, and a travel size Super Curl mascara (to avoid paying shipping plus I liked the sample I got a while back). So far, I should be able not to buy anything until April. There seem to be SO many coming out that month!
White blush? Sounds interesting....I should add that about a week ago, I bought a TF ls, another Chanel, and a YSL ls.
confessing is so hard to do.
oh and a bu of my Shiseido white blush.
I vote for the perfume. You can pick up eye shadows one at a time, but a good perfume is an all-at-once expense.
Try to see the new SR in person. It's significantly lighter than previous releases. A lot of WOC aren't happy with this newer version. I think there are some people selling and swapping the older version that you might like better. HTH
Thank you Pixie, I appreciate your thoughts on thisI'll go check out your pics! Since organizing my stash, I'm excited to see other people's collections!
Keep it that way.... heehee
Thanks for making me feel a little better. I truly do feel like I've made so much progress overall!
And you're right about the HG blushes. I love the ones I have, but the 2 I picked up originally look SOOOOO close on my face. Definitely didn't need both! Going to wear them both several times this week to see if I can possibly just return one.
Hey.... a work in progress IS progress! Keep it up hun!
Awwwww... I'll build you a wagon. *hugs*
Please don't think I'm trying to pry.... but it honestly sounds like you could use a good supplement or even a diet change. Perhaps it's even something medical, like a minor hormonal imbalance that has you feeling so out of whack. I don't mean to come across intrusive, but I can really empathize with how you explained your feelings and lack of restraint. I don't think it's a "this is just the way I am" thing. I went through a rough patch with my emotions and found out something as small as my birth control pill had my hormones all crazy! Maybe a quick discussion with your doctor is all you need. Don't just write off these types of feelings. Look into it. It could be something very simple that will change your entire outlook.
Time out chair for HerGreyness! HeeHee

I've already been to the doctor and have another appointment to get my blood checked and get some other tests done.
I have never bought on hype.. only curiosity of how the finished product actually looks/ worksI bought N1 after N2 was out as well.. and then got rid of it after a year since I didn't like it and never used it.. haha. I don't buy anything based off of hype anymore but I loved the lighting powders so much I just had to try one of their blushes and I'm glad I did. Try them out for yourself, it really doesn't matter what anyone else but you thinks! You're the one going to be wearing it.
yes one of the best highlighters sitting around quietly is the Shiseido white beam blush -- it is more than amazing.White blush? Sounds interesting....
Sounds like you have fallen off the wagon lately. LOL
Thank you, guys(sitting in corner)

You're not horrible, you're human.. I'm happy for you that you got rid of something and brought in something else that you don't have a dupe for. It's also great that you're realizing you only need a couple of bronzers! Maybe having a streamlined stash of one category will give you some positive reinforcement to move on to other areas. Keep your eye on the progress, not the setbacks.
I'm wondering why it's so rare to find highlighters that are just glow with no shimmer.
Thank you, guys
So, I sold a bronzer......but then ordered a highlighter from Korea.
Funny, I had the Pro Longwear bronzer up for sale for a while, and now that we talked about bronzers yesterday someone bought it. I think I will just keep the Optical bronzer and Temp Rising one for now and get rid of the rest.
I know... I'm horrible for getting the highlighter. I stumpled upon it, sent the link to my makeup friend, and we got all excited and both of us ordered it. It wasn't that expensive, the money from selling the bronzer covered it. I don't have anything like it yet.
