Resolution "LOW-BUY" 2014! Who wants to play?

[liba]

I'm actually skipping proenza! Blushes are beautiful but think the colors themselves are dupeable. Gotta save all my money for Playland, Malificent, and the summer collection!

I'm not head over heels for them either. I like the packaging pictures, although who knows what they'll be like in person. If they suffer from the Gareth Pugh issue where the compact was so solid it was too heavy to comfortably lug around in my purse, that'll be a drawback.

The pink one is VERY dupable. The peachy one, I'll let the jury stay out on that one for the time being. If it's very finely milled without any powderiness, I might be in. I don't have Ripe Peach, although I do have Immortal Flower and Modern Mandarin. When MAC blushes work well, I actually prefer them to the Chanels I've encountered, which were always plenty pigmented but stiffer. I'd take Armani over Chanel or MAC for blush any time, but the colors don't usually grab me and twist me around - MAC still takes the cake in that department for me, most of the time. That's my makeup stash saving grace - the fact I stick with MAC almost exclusively. If I didn't, woah nelly things would get out of hand fast.

Day 5: Rose Lily I purchased Estée Lauder plum nuance Blush and pure color crystal pink lipstick today. No guilt lol I've been good and have sold, swapped or returned 16 lip products so... It's ok to buy one. I'm on a lipstick no buy until malificent (i'd like one) I also bought my baby a vanity as she loves to look in my mirror

they are going for the jugular -- and head to head with the other EL blushes which are also $30.. but seriously, if I can pay $ 30 for MAC, I will pay $45 for Chanel, Armani, and even less for refills from other HE companies.

on another note, here is my lippie for the day: it's BB Neon pink, first time I am wearing it and I love it. It is not a long lasting ls, but the colour is lovely and very smooth. I had purchased and it was in my in box -- I had not even opened it. omg.

Love that lipstick on you! I would love to give it a try, but there are not many options for ordering it here in Vancouver ( and I don't think Sephora has it). May have to hit the select counter downtown when I get the chance! Thanks for the pic!

I am probably skipping Proenza since the only things that interest me are the blushes, but I already have Ripe Peach and the pink one looks dupable...

Money issues just keeeeep coming. Last night had a table walk out so had to pay the tab. Found out I owe taxes, and my tooth filling decided to fall out so now I have a gaping hole in it. Which I have no dental insurance for. Not sure if I can even buy anything next month now. All these awesome collections at the worst time. I'm just so sick of working my ass off and still struggle. And now have to pay taxes. Sucky when one of your vices in life is makeup. Need to get myself a career. Can't keep doing this. But feels good to know I have a place to go with a wonderful support system here at Specktra! Enough of my own pity party. I'll stop being such a debby downer... Wore my beloved Restrict Friday and Snapdragon yesterday. I'm loving how this challenge is bringing out some old favorites as well as recent ones.
