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

[LinenWhite7]

I take this back. I just read that NARS Douceur is being discontinued. I just finished the Douceur I bought in August 2012 (completely finished it). I wasn't going to replace it until I'd made more of a dent in some of my other blush, but I'm going to need to get another while I still can.  WHY would they DC this one? :crybaby:

Nooooooooo! :crybaby:

AudreyC, I can't ever make rhyme or reason of the products that beauty companies decide to discontinue. Almost always it's some beloved and/or cult favorite that is everyone uses regularly . Maybe it's to encourage binge buying and to force consumers to try new things.

That's exactly why.. It's obvious that if it weren't for new, LE, discontinued, or expiring items most consumers would continue to use up what they have until it's gone.. meaning they'd spend a fraction of a fraction of the amount they do on cosmetics.

Found out that the Ruffian Gold I wore was patchy and uneven. So I need to swap or B2M. I only wore it 5 times. Today I am wearing Illamasqua's Growl. The lipstick broke at the base about two months ago.

Today's lip-MAC Pink Pigeon. I must say, I like everything I've worn so far. So much for purging.

I think I'll join the lipstick challenge late! 23rd: ysl rouge pur couture blond ingenu: Lana del reys lippie of choice, I need to wear this more! I have a lot of brown/pinks I could probably give to my sis... Lipstick cull is calling!

Day 13: MAC Glamourdaze (sp??) I always forget about this one. I have been wearing a different palette which each different lipstick as well. That's killing me more as I miss my go to palettes :/

 

[LinenWhite7]

Today's lip is Revlon Just Bitten kissable Balm Stain in Cherish (cool light pink) with a swipe of Revlon laquer balm in Vivacious on top. Eyes are the LE Wet n Wild palette in Nude Awakening, blush is TheBalm Cabana Boy. Quick and easy. I think I've found my current HG mascara - Maybelline The Rocket. Ever since I threw it out, I've been missing it, and nothing else is working as well. Too Faced and Tarte flake on me, Mally is just ok, CG Clump Crusher doesn't give the same length and doesn't hold the curl. I was hoping to get by with what is open and in my drawer but they just aren't doing it for me. Thank goodness it's a drugstore price and not HE.

Yesterday was MAC Lady Danger. I probably won't be going out today so no lippie today.

I'm getting my hair cut this week! I'm so excited. I'm getting some kind of a bob and I want to try bangs. I haven't had bangs since I was a kid. I'm kinda nervous about it though lol.

Yesterday's lip was Clinique Chubby Stick in Woppin' Watermelon - after my 30 days are up I'm going to put this in the use up pile, there's not much of it left.

Today - Elizabeth Arden Rose Aurora. I'd forgotten how frosty it is, but I like it. Paired it with the matching highlight powder used as an eyeshadow, and Immortal Flower blush - a look I will definitely repeat in summer.

Day 11: not so innocent. I went for a very quick nude look since I was taking the fiancé to the ER! He passed a stone but this is a dude that had stapled his own wounds together so for him to complain about pain it was a big deal! But he's ok and at home with a 2 day rest at home doctor note that he plans to enjoy (I'm jelly)

 

[liba]

Didn't update this the past few days….

11. (Fri.) Kittenish Patentpolish (yay!) and then Blooming Lovely later that night.
12. (Sat.) Commotion Huggable
13. 'just doing housework. I slapped on Glace Mineralize Lip Balm. I sort of conserve that one. If there's one thing I'd like to find at a CCO is some more of these. I've really gone through them and I don't feel like they're going to be back for a while.

 

[DMcG9]

[@]mosha010[/@]: Yikes, I've had kidney stones too. The pain is apparently comparable to childbirth (say the medical professionals I've spoken with). I hope he was given a good painkiller like morphine. Pain is exhausting... He'll probably need those two days of rest!

Oh gosh! Glad he's okay. I hear passing a kidney stone is worse than labor.

 

[allthingsglam]

@mosha my god worse then labor I cant my kids darn near killed me lol.happy he is okay my bf I can tell when he is sick but he always denied that he is I'm like take some meds man but he always refuse he barely gets sick but what I can understand is when he does he will not let me take care of him baby him lol he had the flu kept saying he is okay I had the flu last year he took care of me for 3 days men lol

 

[mosha010]

Thank u ladies. Yea he's ok now. He was toughing it out I guess cause everyone I've inquired about has told me the same thing. He's in the couch hogging the tv watching nascar and I've been force feeding him cranberry juice and water lol . The weird thing is that the hospital said it passed already and discharged him but he says he has a pain that comes in waves now... So I'm worried he has more! I hate when hospitals just let someone go when they're clear not at a 100%! Aaaaagghhh

 

[User38]

@mosha010

ouch.. those things do hurt horribly. I am sure you are taking good care of him and that he will recover. Sometimes there are stones which are passed and then there is granulation (this is Bert speaking and me typing) which takes a bit longer to pass. Granulation is like a sandy material which can be also painful on elimination. That's what he says.. ouch. Rest, liquids and a bit of time will take care of it. Do you have coconut water? I always drink that and it's a really good diuretic and helps in elimination from kidneys.

anyway, wish you the quickest recovery possible.

 

[PixieDancer]

Ahhhhhh Mosha! Hope he's feeling better! Men can be big babies when they're sick... forget about what he's going through! He's probably going to break down like an infant!! I feel for you doll!
