I was watching some youtube videos, and one of the monthly challenges one of the ladies was doing was using "30 Lipsticks in 30 Days," no repeat lipsticks... I think I want to try this! Who wants to do it with me? 
oooo I'll do it! But I have like 6 ones I'm trying to finish though. Should I wait till after?

I always wear a different lipstick every day, although if I have a new one or one that particularly works well in a season I'll wear it more than once

I'll join you, Pixie!

Yesterday I wore MAC Hot Gossip and today I'm wearing MAC Fanfare. Not my one of my favourites, though. It's way too coral on me.

I shall join in on the lipstick challenge! I fell off the wagon when I went into boots shopping with my friend yesterday, I picked up 2 sleek matte me lip creams which I don't need. On a positive note I have nearly finished a foundation and concealer up this month and I was definately more in control of what I bought when I went shopping yesterday. Yesterday I managed to where two lipsticks L'Oreal Extraordinaire glosses in Fushia Drama at the start of the day and when I went out in the evening i swapped for Rose Melody. Today I am wearing Viva Glam Cyndi Lipstick which is in my use it up pile. Hoping this challenge will help me identify formulas or colours that don't work for me which I can then get rid of from my stash. Particularly wanting to reduce my drugstore lip products at the moment. Additionally I am desperate to repurchase my emma hardie balm, i have already noticed my skin isn't as happy since I finished it, debating getting one from space nk after pay day :-(

Id send a fancy thank you card (like one from the expensive section of the card selection haha!) as it shows gratitude without buying something for something if you know what I mean :)

Keep filling my mac online basket and then emptying it and refilling! I wanted a mac palette and insert and was tempted to depot some blushes too, some how a duo fell in there and the pro concealer palette a P&P radient rose pen, frankly scarlet blush and the neutralise CC cream. Just emptied back to the 2 palettes/inserts, duo as I can't wear false lashes at the moment as I have no glue! and the CC cream! Still haven't hit the trigger, feeling guilty i have a holiday to pay for!

Fanfare is on my wishlist. I need to try it in person.
It was on mine too and when I went to B2M for it, I just didn't love it on. I got Pink Nouveau instead. :eyelove: Next on my B2M wish list is a coral - maybe Ravishing or Sunny Seoul if Ravishing is no good. I'm NW15-20.

I pulled the trigger opps! Saying that most things I bought I have wanted for a while! I originally bought one of the mac double sided palettes and I hate it so plan to ebay that and hopefully that will pay for most of the new single sided palettes. I am not that busy this weekend so hoping to go through my stash and do a little more organizing and ebaying, it is definately shrinking and the purchasing has slowed, but change doesn't happen over night, it took a long while to accumulate so it will take a little while to get the size down again.

My low buy is going great! Instead of two items per collection I've managed to : skip Mac march collections (In favor of electric palette but still). And one item for both proenza and Playland. Unheard of!

I'n in!

Today I wore Cut a Caper.
Heading into the city later - wish me luck not to succumb to temptation (in form of the cute little Clinique blushes).

I say both of the above together would make for a great thank you! It's those little things that can really make someone's day! She will feel truly appreciated! In general, I wish more people would "spread" random thoughtfulness & love in everyday life!

My shared "low/no buy" update! I sucumbed back in February to the UD VIce 2 Palette on sale...

Naughty naughty...BUT my plan is to "de-pot" all of my palettes (UD, theBalm, Tarte) into a few Z-Palettes I bought forever & a day ago! (e.g. Virgo, librarian, highly organized, ocd-ish, color coordinated crazy...)Then it would seem all "new" again!

I have to skip on the lipstick challenge, simply because I do not wear it daily. For "special special," yes! But even with a primer It chaffs, dries & eventually chaps the heck out of my lips!!! Not good especially with this nasty winter weather.To get around this I use lip liners with either Aquaphor lip balm or EOS lip balm. I still get some color & definition

Today's lippie is Revlon lip butter in Juicy Papaya. Rest of the face is my Too Faced A Few of My Favorite Things - gorgeous!

[@]Glitteryvegas[/@], you've gotten some great advice, so all I can add is a virtual hug. It's hard to care for a loved one that's ill. Don't beat yourself up. You'll do tight by your baby when it's time. Not in the 30 day challenge because I don't wear lipstick every day, but today I'm rocking MAC Til Tomorrow.
